WILL PROBABLY
BE SETTLED THIS WEEK.

When Col. Harvey left. the invitation to
go 70 New York had been extended and
had been accepted. II was positively
stated to-day that the meeting be-
tween the heads OF the Amalgamated
Association and the United Safes Steel
Corporation was due TO no other person
or persons than Mr.. Harvey, and that
there were no others present at any
time before or after the visit OF Col.
Harvey to help the cause along. Col.
Harvey was a passenger on the same
train as President Shaner and Secre-
tary Williams but was not with them
and was not seen by them until they
reached Mr. Morgan's Office He was
not in the private Office of Mr.. Morgan
at any time during the conference and
was not again seen by the Amaiga-
mated officials until after they had left
the conference.
When Secretary Williams was asked
to-day If 1t was true that Col. Harvey
was in the Amalgamated Offices prior
to his going to New York. he said it
was true. He also repeatedly and en-
phstically denied that NJ. NJ Garland
and Joseph Bishop had anything to do
with the conference in any way so far
as he knew.
1t is believed that before the end of
the week, the mills will all be ready to
run again providing repairs are COM
pleted that have been undertaken since
the strike began. Should the whole
project fail of coming to an amicable
end, however the fight promises to be
more bitter than ever. For this rea-
son those back of the present negotia-
lions are extremely anxious to have
everything kept as quiet as possible,
and that nothing should be made pub
lie regarding the basis Of conference
until it had been accepted by both
sides
Secretary Williams said tonight
that the strike programme would not
be changed in any way between now
and the day set for the executive board
meeting, but nothing of a radical ma
ture would likely take place before
then.
The report from McKeesport late to-
night says:
The strike situation at McKeesport
ie nractica1ly unchanged and although,
it was reported that the Demmler
piant would resume operations this
morning, it is stated on excellent au-
thority that the mills will not resume.
Wellsville is quiet and no indication
is given that immediate efforts are to
be made toward increasing the force
of men at work. Both sides seem to
be waiting.

be helped the most. The reports show

MUST BUY MORE PANTS.
Trousers Taken From the YanktoH
Sioux to BE Returned.

On or about the LIST day of June, 1896,
the Government purchased 435 pairs of
boys pants, paid for out of the regular
appropriation of 100000 made available
that fiscal year for educating the Yank-
ton Sioux Indians. The Indian Office had
been doing this since 1871, in accordance
with treaty made the year before, with
the red men, by which the Government
undertook to provide subsistence and civ
ilization" for the Yankton Sioux. These
pants were paid for out of this "subsist-
ence and civilization fund for the year
1896, and in their purchase, the Govern
ment presumed. according to the act of
Congress making the appropriation, to
cover the nakedness of 435 Indian boys of
the Yankton Sioux tribe to a more or less
extent.
But the Government did not do this. 1t
bought the pants. but finding that this
particular lot of 1875 pants could not be
used by the boys of the Yankton Sioux
for the reason that they were already well
provided for in this sort of civilization"
and that there were 435 boys of the Pine
Ridge Agency who needed trousers very
badly, the Secretary of the Interior au-
thoriZed their transfer to the Pine Ridge
Agency. The pants were transferred.
time, worn out, as pants, even those 'ur-
nished by the Government. are bound to
when worn by boys, either red, black, or
white. The trouble over the incident here
in washington began in March, 1899. when
the Auditor for the Interior Department
asked what appropriation those pants
should be charged to. 1t had come to his
attention that by the action of the depart
ment, 435 pairs of boys pants that should
have goneItoward the education of the
Yankton Sioux, had been in fact worn by
1876 Pine Ridge boys, thus robbing the
Yankton Sioux youths of just that many
pants, which they were entitled to by act
OF Congress. i1
He asked the Comptroller of the Treas
ury to decide the matter for him, and
yesterday Comptroller Tracewell rendered
decision that the Government must now
buy 435 pairs of boys pants of the same
length, breadth, thickness, and price, and
put them on As boys of the Yankton Sioux
tribe, for better or worse, in pursuit of
their Subsistence and civilization" or
words to that effect.
