United States Steel Corpora
tion Has It's First Trouble.
STRIKE is MoMENTOUs

Head of Amalgamated Associate
Threatens to Tie Up Every Plant OF
the New Combine Unless Demands
of Strikers Are Conceded.
PITTsBURG, April 15-As result of a
dispute that for week past has in
volved the employees of the w. Devices
wood plant of the American Sheet Steel
company at McKeesport and the COM
pany, about half of the men are on a
strike today and operation of the plant
is bad j crippled. The cause of the
trouble was the recent discharge of
seven men, who. the men claim, were
dismissed because they were members
of the newly organized lodge of the
Amalgamated association.
The strike was ordered at meeting
OF the local lodge yesterday AFTERNOONS
ana went into effect at I o'clock this
morning. All is quiet about the
works today. None of the discon-
tented workmen are lettering about
the mill, and there is no pros
pect OF trouble. The members of the
nrm say that they will continue
the operation of their plants, and that
II they are troubled by the strikers at
Mcheesport they will ship their mate
rial elsewhere for manufacture. The
mill employs about 800 men and about
half OF them are now out.
Momentous Event.
The event is looked upon as moment-
GUS throughout the iron and steel trade
of the country, from the fact that it is
the first conflict between organized la
Dor and the United States steel corpora
ton and because Of the announced in
tention today of President L. f. Schae-
fer, head of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin workers, to
tie up every plant of the new combine,
steel, tin, tube, iron, wire and all, if
necessary to win the fight.
AS to the chance that the men in
all the mills of the United States Steel
corporation will be called on to come
out, no one connected with the -1Isr2aga=--
ment OF any of the organized plants in
the new corporation will consent to be
quoted. The only underlying compa-
MES In the new corporation whose mills
are entirely independent of the Anal
gamated association are the Carnegie
interests and the National Tube com
pany
The mills of the American Steel Hoop
company, the American Tinplate COM
pany and the Republic Iron and Steel
company are all organized, while most
of those of the American Sheet Steel
company and the National Steel COM
pany and few of the National Steel,
American Steel and Wire and American
Bridge plants work under the Amalga-
mated association. Most of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire plants are controlled
by the rod mill men. - g- !.

JOHN q. cAPERs APPOINTED
United States District Attorney For
South Carolina.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Among the
appointments made by the president to-
day was that Of John G. .Capers, to be
attorney of the United States for the
district of South Carolina.
Mr.. Capers is son of the Right Rev.
Ellison Capers, Protestant Episcopal
bishop of South Carolina. He has held
an attorneyship in the Office of the at.
torney general at Washington for the
past eight years and was at one time pri-
vate secretary for former United States
Senator M. c. Butler, who secured for
him his position in the attorney gener-
ais Office.
The appointment of John G. Capers
to be United States district attorney of
South Carolina was great surprise to
residents in that state, although rumors
of it have been afloat for some time.
Mr.. Capers will succeed Abial La.
throp, the present district attorney for
South Carolina. In 1895 he refused to
support Bryan for president, and again
worked against the Democratic candi-
date in 1890. He never has aligned
himself fully with the Republican party,
however.
Lathrop was appointed four years ago,
upon the recommendation of E. A.
Webster, Republican national commit
teeman from South Carolina. It is said
charges were made against Lathron

IGNORANCE OF MASSES

Opposition to the Platt Amendment
Comes From the Poorest and Most
Ignorant CIasses-Educated People
Appreciate Its Necessity.
HAVANA, April 16-Professor James
Schurman of Cornell university, who
sailed for New York, has been in Cuba
for ten days, studying the political
situation. He visited four provinces of
the island and was closely interested in
public opinion. President Schurman
in an interview said:
''The people of Cuba are less excited
over the menace to Cuban sovereignty
supposed to be contained in the Platt
amendment than are the Republicans
of Havana. Indeed, business men and
owners OF property universally favor an
immediate acceptance of the amend
ment, although many told me they did
not dare say SO publicly.
"lhe present political uncertainty is
paralyzing to the movements of capital,
which are Indispensable for the recOv-
cry of the prosperity of the island. So,
too, majority of the educated men of
the country recognize the necessity,
from the Cuban point of view, of the
protection and security guaranteed by
the Platt amendment. The opposition
comes from the poorest and most ignor-
ant section Of the community, although
how far they have views of their own
and how far they are influenced by
wire pulling politicians it is very diff
cult TO determine
"I-have talked with both white and
colored men-and one third of the popu-
lation of Cuba is colored Many of these
have no ideas whatever on the subject.
On the other hand, l have been sur
prised by the earnestness with which
both white and colored-colored, per-
haps. more than white-haye declaimed
to me against the amendment as a men
ace to their liberties. as an insidious
scheme for reducing them to colonial
dependence as oppressive as that from
which the war with Spain delivered
them.

a few days ago Senator Stewart, Of

Cape Nome. That motion is still pend

it is Senator Hansbrough's intention to
move that it be considered in open

he will probably make full and COM

adopt this program. it will be because
he thinks the senate, which confirmed
Judge Noyes. has right to know the
facts in the McKenziereceiversh cases.
Thus far in this city, only the enemies
of Noyes and Mckenzie have been heard.
Hansbrough's g statements will probably

GERS are searching for an ex-convict who
is believed to have murdered Dotson,
who was the father of Clinton Dotson
and grandfather of Oliver Benson who
with Ellis Persinger murdered Eugene
Cullinane near Washington Gulch in
August, 1899, for money. Clinton Dotson
was sentenced to SO years in the peni-
Tertiary and Benson and Persinger were
serving ten years. A few months ago
the convict told a friend he would kill
old man Dotson when he was released
after sending what would purport to be
a confession from him to the murder of
Cullinane, the scheme being to obtain a
pardon on the strength of the confession
for the convicted men. This convict
was released in December and was seen
near Dotson's home Sunday. No alleged
confession was found. Dotson was one
of the men who staked out the city of
Denver. He was famous character in
the Black Hills. Once a gambler, he
closed all gambling houses in Deadwood,
heading movement for that purpose.

White Stone Battlefield

Washington, Feb. o. The Dicker
County Veterans association is trying to
secure control of bit of land in that
county marking the site of the battle of
White Stone, which was fought on De-
cember 8, 1868, between General Sully
and the Sioux. One lieutenant and
twenty-one men lost their lives in the
engagement and were buried on the
field, which is about fifteen miles north
west of MONACO. The graves are being
run over and obliterated by herds of cat
tie which roam the prairie every sum
mer and the old veterans are anxious to
get hold of the land so that some suit
able memorial may be erected there.
Senator Hansbrough has been written
to, and asked to interest himself in the
case, which he has done. He will find
out whether the land in question belongs
to the government or private parties. If
the former, it will be very simple mat
ter to have it withdrawn and put in
such shape as will permit the old sol
diers to inclose it. II the latter, con-
demnation proceedings will be necessary
and an appropriation.
