PEACE EFFORTS FAIL
Amalgamated Committee Adj
iourns Without Date.
STRIKE MUST co ON As BEFORE.
The steel Corporation Has Put In
Operation Seventy-siX Mills Dur
ing the Trouble-MOre to
He Opened,

PITTSBURG, Sept. 10.-The last eff
fort to settle the steel strike has failed,
The general executive board of the Anal
gamated association has adjourned with
out date and without either accepting any
of the peace propositions which have
come indirectly from the United States
Steel corporation or making any counter
propositions according to the official
statement.
The semiofficial report is that the propo-
sition secured for the Amalgamated asso-
citation through the intervention of the
representatives of the National Civic fed
GRAFTON was unsatisfactory and that the
entire matter of arranging for a settle
ment was left with President Theodore
]. Shaffer. The board in its session of
three days has been clamoring for a set
Element, but satisfactory terms and means
were not at hand, and the sessions resOlv-
ed themselves into an informal discussion
of the situation.
At the close of the meeting of the ma
tional executive board last evening Pres
ident Shaffer declared that he had no
statement to make, but subsequently said:
1.-The board has adjourned and the out
of town members will probably leave for
been received and none made"
The meeting of the board did not ad-
journ in high good feeling, yet the mem
bers of the board were averse to making
statements supplemental to that of Presi-
dent Shaffer.
1t was stated by some of the members
of the board that the adjournment had
left matters practically as they were be-
fore the meeting had been called and that
the strike must go on as before, leaving
arrangements for a possible settlement
through n coveted direct conference with
the representatives of the United States
Steel corporation with President Shaffer.
Yesterday completed the first thirty
days since the American Sheet Steel COM
pnny, the American Tin Plate company
and the American Steel Hoop company
began their attempt to start the union
plants of the country In the face of the
Amalgamated association strike. Aside
from the Clark plant of the steel hoop
company and the Upper and Lower Union
mills of the Carnegie company, where the
attempt to render the strike effective was
never a success, the three companies have
during the month succeeded in placing in
operation seventy-six mills in the union
plants, single turn. Indications are that
the number will be doubled within the
next ten days if the strike is not settled
before that time

STEADY GAIN SHOWN
Presidents Recovery Seems
Now to Be Assured.
PHYSICIANS GIVE HOPEFUL REPORTS
Mr.. Mckinley Himself Is Cheerful
and Expresses Confidence of Ulti-
mate RecOvery-AII Danger Is
Not Yet Passed, However.

BUFFALO, Sept. 10.-President Nc
Kinley's condition continues to steadily
Improve. Since Sunday night not an
unfavorable symptom has appeared. Ev-
cry hour has been a victory. Faith in
the outcome grows stronger and stronger,
and hope mounts higher and higher until
IN the minds of some the danger of all
future complications is brushed aside
and hope has become conviction. Indeed,
many of the presidents friends seem pos
sessed with a sort of superstitious con-
fidence in the presidents recovery which
nothing but an absolute change for the
worse can shake, and the basis for the
confidence that is expressed is solid.
There has been nothing but improve
ment. gradual and slow, but steady i'm
provement. Every bulletin, every pri-
vate and public word of the physicians
in attendance, breathes encouragement
The reports the physicians have given
out are facts as they exist from scien-
tifc standpoint unmiXed with sentiment
Still that the president is by no means
out of danger is the verdict of each of
them. Not one of them will risk his pro-
fessionaI reputation with statement
that the president will live. All they
will say is that with every hour the dan
ger of complications from peritonitis or
blood poisoning decreases. DR.. McBur-
ney, the most eminent of the physicians

TOOK HIM LITERALLY.
That Was Why His Signature Was
Rejected at the Bank.


"Bank clerks are so often called upon
for directions that they sometimes fall
into the ha bit of giving them In hur-
red and mechanical manner, conse-
quently they are frequently misunder-
stood" remarked the clerk of saw
ings institution to a reporter the other
day. For instance, the usual formula
when a stranger is called upon to sign
his name is, Sign here; pen and ink at
your left hand One morning last week
stranger entered our bank and asked
me for a certificate of deposit for con-
siderable sum of money which he 1and-
ed over. counted the money and found
the amount to be as stated and hurried
ly said, Sign there, sir; pen and ink at
your left hand
"Well, 1t took the stranger q long
time to sign his name, but / thought
nothing more of it and issued the GER
tificate of deposit. About week later
the same man, whose face l had for
gotten, reappeared and presented the
certificate. He dashed off an ornate
signature, which l proceeded to COM
pare with the first signature. The two
were vastly different, as the first one
was apparently the labored effort of an
old man.
az can't pay you this money, sir I
said.
"'Why not? asked the astonished
stranger.
because it is not the signature of
the man to whom issued the certifl-
cate Of deposit replied.
"'Well, said the stranger, when
was here a week ago you told me to
write my name with my left hand, and
l did so, but can't write very well
that way
"'Then will you oblige me by writ
ing your name with your left hand
again. asked as a light dawned upon
me.
"'Certainly,' said the man, and after
much labor he produced a facsimile of
his first signature, and l apologized
and paid him his money."-Washington
