SETTLEMENT OF THE STRIKE.
Rumors Are In the Air, hut the Situ-
alton Remains Unchanged

Pittsburg, July 21.--The strike situ-
alton is not materially changed. al
though many rumors are in the air to
the effect that a settlement of th@
troubles is imminent. Up TO a late
hour none of these reports has been
verified, and the conclusion reached IS
that no settlement is in sight. AT the
Offices of the Carnegie company ana
at the headquarters Of the Manufac-
turers the usual silence is preserved
corcerring the condition Of business
or the status of the strike. President
Shaffer of the Amalgamated associa-
ton, however, expresses his entire sat
isfaction with the progress Of the bat
tie and says the workers have gained
stee Oily, while the manufacturers have
lost continually since last Monday. He
says up TO the present time the Anal.
gamated forces contemplate no change
in their program, being perfectly satis-
fled with the showing their people have
made. From the storm center at
Wellsyille comes word that striking
mill men in that vicinity spent an un-
easy, restless day. There Is no longer
any doubt that the owners OF the
Wellsville plant have many of the
towns largest merchants back of them
in their fight against the workmen,
and much bitterness has resulted. Con-
fronted with what seems certainty
that If the present trouble goes along
much further the Wellsyille plant will
be lifted ard brought across the line
into Pennsylvania. grocers, clothing
men and others who for years have
received the wages of the mill work
ers In exche nge for goods, are now try
ing &c show strikers that they are
wrong and foolish in keeping UP the
fight. pr, esure brought to eear along
this line the strikers say is energy
wasted, as they are more determined
than before.

Fargo, N. D., July 21.-With present
conditions the wheat yield of the state
will surpass the most sanguine expec-
tations. Wild claims Of thirty or more
bushels per acre are being made In
many localities. Owing to the fact
that the wheat is just now In the milky
stage and will soon be in the dough
stage, there is no possibility or ac'
curately stating the yield. day or
two of hot wind would do untold dam
age in shortening the yield and DAM
aging the grade. Unless hurried along
by too hot weather the wheat harvest
will not begin for a week or ten dass
on the higher lands. and not before
two weeks in the valley proper. a
quantity of barley has already been
cut and some oats will be harvested
this week.
