The British Naval Man1 uvres.

The programme for the annual man9uvres
OF the British Navy. which will begin prob
ably some time next week. Is more than
usually interesting and important in the
problem IL offers for solution. The usual two
" hostile fleets have been formed. called
respectively B Fleet and Fleet. the former

GERARD II. U. NOEL. the latter with Vice
Admiral Sir A. X. WILSON, Y. C.. IA COM

general idea OF the maneuvres is this: Their
field lies between the nfty-sixth and the
forty seventh parallels OF latitude, that Is
between line drawn across Scotland from
Edinburgh to Dumbarton and prolonged
and one drawn through about the middle OF
France and prolonged westward. Fleet

the North Sea, east Of Scotland: Fleet X will

Queenstown In Ireland: all other forts are
unfortifed except those OF the Scilly and

Pittsbure. Aug 26.-Some remarka BILE
changes in the situation oflthe strike
ridden mills of the United States Steel
corporation are promised for the pres
ent week that will change the aspect
of affairs considerably if carried out. 1t
was stated on good authority yesterday
that before the. end Of the week those
of the plants that have been operating
on single turn would be run with full
force and for the usual three full turns
each day. Men enough have been Sc
cured for this purpose, the officials say.
in spite of the claims of the strikers
that the companies could not get
enough men to operate their plants,
and the managers of the various mills
say they will be ready with all the
skilled men required to start up the
machinery and turn out a heavy tom
mage. In furtherance of the peace pro-
gram which is said to have been in the
course of preparation for several days,
it was given out yesterday by one on
the inside and one who should know,
that the Amalgamated executives have
consented to have
Certain Propositions
made to the officials of the United
States Steel corporation through mem
bers of the cOnciliatOry committee of
the National Civic Federation which
proposals are expected to bring about a
settlement Of the great strike. Those
interested in the matter We're in wait
ing all day yesterday for word to pro-
coed with the program as outlined at
the conference of Amalgamated eXecu-
tives and the conciliatory committee of
the Civic Federation last Friday. The
propositions which are to be taken to
New York carry certain concessions by
the Amalgamated officials which it is
hoped will pave the way for the re-
opening of direct negotiations between
the association and the company. The
proposition carries much of the terms
under which President Shaffer and his.
advisers stand Willing: to settle. What
these terms are and the mode of their
presentation are carefully guarded Sc
crets. There is the implication that
they contain concessions Of such inn
portance that those in interest expect.
