The works are going all right this
morning, and I think they Will con-
tinue to do 50, The men have not yet
forgotten Homestead, and. 4 do not
think they win strike
The strikers claim that the strike IS
practically on. and that the men are
cleaning up, preparato tory to coming out.

Many Reasons offered For Keeping
Him in Office.

London, Aug. s1.-A representative Of
the Associated Press learns that the
rumors of Lord Salisbury's retirement
are due to the existence of agitation
within the premier'S own family that
he takes the step in order to preserve
his health. His sons and daughters be-
heve the strain of conducting the affairs
of the empire is bound to shorten MS
life. In this they have been opposed by
less closely related members of the
Cecil family and almost all the leaders
of the Unionist party. The latter so far
as can be learned are likely to prevail
for the present, at any rate their con-
tention that relief from the duty of
premier would be a very doubtful bene-
fit to Lord Salisburys health, which
just now is not bad. considering his age.
In former times when his retirement
was moOted the opposition to such
step was based on the absolute necessi-
ty for Lord Salisbury's presence in the
foreign office Thanks to Lord Isans-
downe's apparent ability to handle that
department, this necessity no longer
exists but the cry has changed and the
Unionists admit that the selection of
successor to Lord Salisbury would per-
haps precipitate as international strug
