A STUBBORN FIGHT.
AmaIEamated Association Demands
Recognition of the Union.

AmalEamnted Association Demands
Recognition of the Union.
Pittsburg, April 1S.-The close Of the
second day of the strike at the Deewes
wood plant of the American Sheet Steel
company at McKeesport shows a con-
dition of affairs that forebodes a hard
fight. The fight is being made by the
Amalgamated association for the rec
ignition of unionisnl, and President
Shaffer's announcement that all Of
the conpany's mills will be called out
may receive sanction of the advisory
board to-day. Secretary Jeckatt, in
charge of the labor bureau of the COM
pany, will be present at this meeting
and present the company's side of the
matter and urge that no strike be de-
clared. If the statement credited to
the company that the McIeesport
plant will be closed Indefinitely rather
than recognize the union, is adhered
to, President Shaffer's attitude will de-
mand that the entire strength of the
Amalgamated association be pitted
against the company as whole. The
status of the strike now is that only
two departments of the mill are in ope-
ration, the steel mill or finishing de-
partment and the hammer shop.

Seattle, Wash, April 1S.-In fit Of
dependency over business reverses.
aggravated by the depressing effects of
an attack Of grip, Melvin r. Baldwin,
an ex-congressman from Minnesota,
and former superintendent of Indian
affairs under President Cleveland, yes
terday afternoon took his life. The
ex-congressman's body was found Iy
ing on his bed in his apartments at
201S Fourth avenue with a bullet hole
through his brain at 1880 o'clock last
night, and from the condition Of the
body it is estimated death had &C.
CURED fluffy two hours before. Tightly
gripped in his hand was a 3S-caliber
revolver. D. Mckinley, a friend Of the
deceased and former business associ-
ate, discovered the body when he went
to visit the ex-congressman at his
apartments. Melvin r. Baldwin, who
was sixtytwo years OF age, came to
this city about three years ago from
Duluth, Mimi, after having relin-
quished his position as Minnesota SUI
perintendent Of Indian affairs, to which
Office he was appointed by President
Cleveland after the expiration Of his
term in congress.

4 A1reement In The TrO1ble sat Nc.
sfs$ss i III KeespOrt.
Pittsburg. April 20.r There VIII be no
strike in the plants Of the American
Sheet Steel company The trouble that
\ broke out In the Devices wood plant
In McKeesport last week, and which,
s for q time, threatened to cause q gem
eral strike Of all union iron and steel
workers in the country, has been set
tied In an amicable manner. The mem-
bers of the general executive board of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tinworkers held long ses-
sion yesterday. 1t started out with a
general feeling that a strike would
come, as the workers would not con-
cede the only point in dispute (rein-
statement of the men discharged, 1t Is
claimed, for joining the union), and SO
far as could be learned the officials Of
the American Sheet Steel company
We're equally determined. S
During the morning session of the
executive board John Jarrett, acting
for the American Sheet Steel company,
appeared with proposition for the
members to consider regarding set
Element Of the difficulty. In general,
this proposition was that all men dis
charged from the wood plant should
be reinstated, including Holloway. and
that all but Holloway should return to
work at once, holloway to be returned
within ten days. The board insisted
that Holloway should be treated in the
same manner as the others, and finally
Mr.. Jarrett changed his proposition to
include Holloway after three days sus-
pension, and the agreement was drawn
up and signed.
In explanation Of this agreement it
was stated that the matter will re-
main in exactly the same position as
before the trouble broke out The or
ganization of the local OF the Anal
gamated association among the en-
ployes Of the mill will be continued,
though the company will not recognize
it i'll any way in dealing with the.
men. The a1nalgamated association
stated that they did not wish the COM
pany to recognize their organization at
present, and simply asked the COM
pany to allow the men to do as they
pleased and act with freedom when
outside of the mill. The company Of
ficials, on the other hand, say that so
long as the local among their men does
not try to force recognition, and the
men work under the personal agree
ment with them, they would not allow
feeling against the men. Both sides are
satisfied, and the strike that has eX-
listed for a week has in reality, accord
ing to officers on both sides, been due
to misunderstanding between the
two sides to the dispute. The settle
ment will bring the matter to an issue,
it is said when the scale for the COM
ing year is brought up for settlement.

Hay lozenges are the popular confec-
tionery among army horses in the
Philippines and South Africa. The
food, or rather the form of it, is a
Yankee invention called into existence
by the circumstances of war in coun-
try lacking good roads. Hay put up in
the ordinary bale cannot be trans
ported on horseback because of its
weight and bulk 1t is therefore CON-
pressed by powerful machinery into
diameter and two inches thick. The
disks are packed in rolls like the
aozenges the train-boys sell, and hung
IN sings from the horses back, one
on each side. A single lozange, when
broken up and opened out, makes a
meal for horse or mule, and will cure
him Of that hungry feeling as quickly
- a mangerful of fresh hay. The
c0mpactness Of the new bale also
means great saving ia freight.

Washington, April 1S.-The crop re-
port OF the weather bureau issued yes
terday shows that over the greater
part of the country east of the Rocky
mountains the week has been alb
normally cool and unfavorable for
termination and growth. Excessive
rains retarded farm work in the states
Of the Middle Rocky mountain slope
and bower Missouri valley, while a
large Part 'of the lake region, Southern
Florida and California need rain. With
the exception OF portions OF the lake
region, Florida, Texas and California,
there is generally ample moisture in
the soil and the conditions now most
needed, especially I'm the central valleys
and Middle Atlantic states are sun
shine and warmth.
Slow progress has been made with
corn planting, none having yet been
planted north OF the Ohio river or
farther north than Southern Missouri
to the westward.
Nearly all reports from the winter
wheat states show that winter wheat
has made favora BILE progress, although
its growth has not been rapid owing to
low temperatures.
Spring wheat seeding ds well adj
vanceo over the southern portion Of
the spring Wheat region, and some has
been sown ON the high lands in North
ern Minnesota. In South Dakota the
early sown is terminating well.
Oat seeding has been rapidly pushed
In portions of the central valleys, some
having been sown as far north as
Southern Minnesota and New York,
but slow progress has been made in
Kentucky and portions of Missouri
The following special bulletins from
the Northwestern states show the con-
dition of crops in that section of the
country:
WisconSin-Sorne snow on ground in
northern counties but in central and
southern sections soil about free from
frost; some blowing in extreme south
ern counties but farm work not gen.
orally commenced; winter wheat, rye
and clover in excellent condition; soil
generally we'll stored with moisture.
Minnesota-Light rains in middle Of
week and cloudy weather prevented
drying of heavy soils; wheat seeding
general on high lands in all portions
except southeast; in central and soelth-
west portions wheat seeding we'll ad-
vanced and some oats and barley
sown; clover and winter rye and wheat
and fruits wintered well.
Iowa-Several fair days improving
soil condition and seeding is in prog
ress in all districts; sowing spring
wheat nearly completed.
South Dakota-Although considera-
bly, delayed by freezing and wet wealth
er, spring wheat seeding is far adj
vanced in southeastern, progressing
fairly in middle and begun in north
ern counties, and early sown germinat-
ing well in the south: soil amply moist
generally, some localities too wet, espe-
cially in the north; grass and winter
rye starting nicely.

A paragraph in an American paper
the other day estimated the number Of
British troops in South Africa at $780,
900. London newspaper just at hand
furnishes material to correct these fig
ures, for, making a careful summary
of all available forces, it finds that,
with the re-enforcements sent out a
month ago and the new Australian
contingent, the total British armed
strength in South Africa is 100000.
The forces under Generals De Wet and
Botha being estimated at from 1000 to
1000 men, it appears that the British
are able to surround each fighting
burgher with from 100 to 200 men, u
disparity of strength probably without
precedent in the history of warfare.
The end Of the war continues to be in
sight-in London.

Several weeks ago an abscess devel-
oped in the stomach Of William
Thorpe, resident Of Quantico, Md.
The growth so weakened him that
physicians feared to use the knife and
the patient was slowly dying. A few
days ago he saw Philadelphia paper
in which there was certain cartoon
making fun of Senator Quay Of Penn
sylvania. Thorpe laughed and imme-
dlately stream of blood gushed from
his mouth. The doctor happened to
call just then, and after examining
Thorpe declared that the abscess had
broken and that the patient would now
get we'll. All of which goes to show
what Philadelphia cartoons are good
for.
