Pittsburg, July 16.-There were no new
during the early hours of the second day.
All the plants closed yesterday were shut
down tight and matters about the Painter
mill, Lindsay and McCutcheon, Clark s
Solar iron works, the Monongahela and
Star tin plants were quiet. 1t is stated
that Painters mill was in partial opera
tion, but the only men at work were a
few Hungarians who were cleaning up
about the yards. Replying to the rumor
that the management has brought a
General Manager Harper said: eve can
break Dur own strikes" superintendent
Albreeh said the plant would be running
in full within few days.
Speculation as to the probable settle
ment OF the strike is active in all circles,
and among business men and manufac-
turers generally the concensus Of opinion
is that the combine officials and Anal
gamated officials will get together be-
fore long and adjust the differences.
Some Of the manufacturers were emphatic
in stating that it would be arranged with
in forty-eight hours, yet they could give
no positive information of any movement
on foot to start negotiations.
Not In the Sympathy Business.
In regard to the threat Of President
Shaffer to call out the workmen in the
other union plants of the United States
Steel corporation, made on Saturday,a sig
nifcant statement from him to-day that
just now he was not in the sympathetic
strike business, Is looked upon as meaning
that for the present the men will be al
lowed to continue at work. President
Shaffer this morning said he was entirely
satisfied with the situation. He had just
been In communication with George Pow
ell. president Of the American Tin Plate
Workers Protective and International as
sociation Of America at Ellwood City, who
announced that his organization was in
hearty sympathy with the AmaIgamated
strikers and the statement was untrue
that 5000 dippery men would continue
work. 1t was reported that these men
had decided to continue work because Of
the lack of cooperation OF the Amalga-
mated association when the scale with the
American Tin Plate company was adjusted
year ago.
President Shaffer announced that strike

benefits will go to the idle men from the
time of the actual Inauguration of this
strike yesterday. The association has N
substantial fund, he says, and the men
remaining at work in plants outside of the
big steel combine will pay literally to
support the strike. Moreover, many Of
the idle men are anxious for vacation.
He is preparing a circular of information
on the strike. He said of it.:
1t will be circular letter to the gen.
eral membership Of our order stating our
position, arguments and expectations"
DiscOurREes Mining Strike.
When asked about President Mitchell's
statement last night, President ShaffeP
said:
1 shall not ask the miners to 60 on such
strike. God help the poor coal miner! He
Is the best union man in the world and the
poorest paid Of them all. He has troubles
enough Of his own and we have no desire to
involve him. But while shall not invite or
solicit sympathetic strike, the Amalgamated
Association stands ready at any time 70 effect
an alliance with the United Mine Workers
or any other kindred organization, many OF
whose members are employed by the United
States Steel Corporation.
Assistant Secretary Tighe of the Anal
gamated association returned to-day from
Monessen, Pa, where he went to orr
ganiZe a lodge in the steel hoop mill Of
that place. He reported that lodge was
formed with about seventy-1ve members
out Of the $50 men employed in the mill
and that he had succeeded in closing the
plant.
Vice President Reese reported that he
had organized the men in the William
Clarks Sons mill, taking in the lodge 100
men out of the 500 employed, and as a re-
suit the plant was closed to-day. This
mill was the only hoop plant in the city
that worked yesterday and has been non-
union since 1889.
President Shaffer stated that there is
one mill at DGncansville, Pa, working
and that the Scottdale and Old Meadow
plants are still at work, but nothing was
heard from Salisbury.

The United States lodge of the Amalga-
mated association met this afternoon in
Allegheny and received into the lodge
sixty-fEe members of the other lodges who
have been working in the Lindsey and Me-

FRIENDLY RUSSIAN
DeWitte's SOn-in-Law on the Tarff
War.

London, July 16.-M. Michael Mering of
Kieff is here. He is law of M
de Witte, Russian minister Of finance and
also president of the Bank of Commerce
at Kieff besides being head of the largest
sugar refinery in that city.
On the tariff dispute between the United
States and Russia, NJ. Mering said:
don't think there will be any protracted
trouble. The amount of sugar exported from
Russia to America is small that the differ
enee in duty is not worth quarreling over.
Unless there is something behind this matter
it ought to be settled without any difficulty.
Russia would take no part in any anti
American combination, such as the London
papers have been suggesting Why should
we? America and Russia should be good
friends always. We buy American machinery
in preference to any other, and our trade
relations are of the best There is nothing
that we should quarrel over. Of course. I
cannot say what the two governments may
have in their minds about this matter, but
/ speak simply Of the Russian people. who
are most friendly disposed to America ana
the Americans.

Special to The Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, July 16-Hercules
d. Viljoen said to-day that he believed
the Boer war would be ended before the
close of the year, that it would end in
the independence of the two republics
and in certain advantages to the Beers
in Cape Colony, and that the breaking

Great Britain would not affect Cecil

Viljoen is here to raise money for the
distressed and suffering of South Africa
under authority of Special Commissioner
Vessels.
Vol1oen says that the Hottentot women
are doing more to defeat the British SOL
diery than any other one agency. The
Hottentots, he says, are the filthiest peo-
pie on earth. Between the climate and
disease the British deport 5000 soldiers
a month, more than they can possibly
enlist. In Viljoen's opinion the time has
gone by for Intervention.

Great Falls, Mont, July 16.-The chase
after the Great Northern train robbers has
practically been given up Most of the
men composing the posses are now on
their ways home. A message from the
Great Falls posse says that 1t will be

upon which to convict either or any of
them. The chase for the bandits has been
entirely based on the pipe dreams Of

FAST ATLANTIC LINE
Canadian Government Decides Upon
a New Steamship Service.

a New Steamship Service.
Ottawa, Ont, July 1.-THE department
Of trade and commerce has decided to
establish fast Atlantic steamship sery-
ice. The government appears to have
been influenced in coming to its decision
by several considerations. First, there is
a belief that while the Canadian route
affording as it does the shortest sea voyage
between this continent and Europe is
bound to become the popular one in time
diversion of the best-paying passenger
traffic from the New York route will be
gradual. There is also the requisite of
freight accommodation for the transpor-
tation of perishable products, but the
dominant influence is doubtless the hope
that in few years the jealousy on the
rival Canadian ports will have disap-
peared and public opinion will have set
tied upon the port which permits of the
shortest ocean voyage as the Canadian
terminal for a fast Atlantic steamship
service

agreement with the steamship companies

rural free delivery boxes that may be
used on any one route. Under the regu-
lations first adopted it was required that
only one style of box could be- used on a

carry only one box key. The new order
provides that patrons on one route NAV
use any or all of the fourteen approved
boxes, and the carrier will have to be
provided with keys for all styles on his
route.
This order was made in consequence of
protests recently filed at the department

other box could get in. 1t was really a
fight between the makers of the fourteen
boxes approved by the postmaster general.

EIGHT HOUR BILL A LAW.

The Quinn eight hour bill has passed
the senate by a unanimnus vote. haNinS
toen amended only to postpone its going
into effect for 30 days, to give the large
smelling concerns an opportunity to meet
the changed conditions, and to provide
additional skilled men rend"-ed neces-
sary by the shortening of the working
Gay from Il to : hours. The house will
no doubt promptly accept the senate
amendment. and there is no good reason
why the bill should not be signed by the
governor and become law today.
AS to the general object of the meas
ure there has been but little difference q
opinion and practically no opposition.
What difference OF tiew has existed has
been upon details. ana most of the sus-
6, stions which have been made. in the
way of amendments have been made
With a view to clearing away ambigui-
ties and making the scope and purpose Of

the future. All suggestions. however,

nient upon the opinion Of good lawyers
has entertained the view that the house
bill would be found defective upon a con-
stitutional test. because of its failure to
lee more specific in its provisions. Many
others We know of share this view. How
ever. the bill is now a law and for the
sake OF harmony and good will between
employers and workers. and for thu sake
Of the continued prosperity and success

will stand. and that all concerned Will
succeed in arriving at a mutually sa It's

necessary.
