$500 Agreement Terminated on
December n.

400 Agreement Terminated on
December n.
The agreement between the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining Company
and the lead producers Of the West
whereby the latter received $500 a
ton for their lead, terminated with
the close OF the year, and considerable
speculation is being INDUCED in by
mining men as to the price which will
rule during 1901.
The Salt Lake Tribune attempted to
interview t. X. Jones, Manager oil
the American Smelling and Refining
| Company in that city regarding the
outlook. but that gentleman declined
to discuss the matter. He authorized
the announcement, however, that the
company would continue to settle
with producers on the $500 basis I'M
ill such time as q new agreement was
entered into. "Since the original
agreement was entered into," the
Tribune continues, ''the average price
of lead on the seaboard has been s4.37
per hundred, and some of the pro-
ducers have induced themselves to
believe that the Smelling company
would perhaps add a fraction to the
market the coming year. This Man
ager Jones would not discuss. Indeed,
he had not heard from those who rule
the situation, and until instructions
have arrived from New York settle
ments will continue on the old basis.
ga year ago, on January 2, 1900, the
price of lead on the local market
opened at $4.521 per hundred. 1t ad-
vanced to $4.574, according to the
record at the Americans offices, and
from that point began to decline until
on June % it had receded to 1922.
These fluctuations were unsatisfactory
alike to the smelters and producers,
and so it was that negotiations between
them for a steady figure were opened.
The smelter representatives expressed
the belief that with the surplus, con
sisting Of about $4,000 tons, out Of the
country they could maintain an arbi-
trary quotation, and after heavy spar
ring.the $500 figure was agreed to.
Then the work OF exporting the sur
plus was begun and accomplished al
a loss to the smelters-upon the tes-
timony OF reputable authorities
$500 per ton, or $72, 900. Since that
time the producers of the West have
been paid 4 cents a pound for theil
output"

SHAFFER IN HOPEFUL MOOD.
Trouble Expected at Big Tube Plant
Mt MckeespOrt.

Pittsburg, July 25.-President Shaffer
of the Amalgamated Association was
in more hopeful mood to-day than
for some time. He said he was per-
fectly satisfied with his personal in
spection of the condition at Wellsvile
and apprehended no difficulty in keep
ing his men in line in that place.
Information from McKeesport to-day
leads to the belief that the big mill
of the National Tube Company would
shortly be involved in the strike This
is payday at the works and two prom
inent members of the new Amalgamat-
ed lodge that was organized there last
Saturday have received notices that
their services were no longer required.
1t was reported that other members of
the union there got, or will get, a SIM
liar notice when they draw their pay.
That this will bring on a conflict at
the mill there is little doubt, for it is
a blow at the very privileges that the
Amalgamated Association is striving
for at the other mills of the steel trust
While McKeesport has been quiet up
to the present time there is a feeling
of repressed excitement among the en-
ployes of the National Tube Works
over the prospect of extending the
strike there.

Chicago WOrkinGmen Are Waiting
for Alabama Negroes.

Chicago, July 25.-Negroes for work
in the Latrobe Steel and Coupler
Works at Belleville, and whose expect
ed arrival at that suburb has created
serious alarm and threats of trouble,
spent the night within few miles of
their destination and were switched to
Lagrange early to-day. The train of
seven cars was held there to await de-
Velocments.
Angry workingmen at Belleville,
haywood and Melrose Park were on
hand at dawn, waiting for the appear
ance of the alien workers and excite
ment was increased by the announce
ment that the train had been trans
ferred to Lagrange. 1t was reported
that several OF the negroes had desert
ed the train during the night, and a
committee of Belleville citizens was
formed to visit the train and endeavor
to persuade the balance to turn back.
At noon an attorney for the Latrobe
Company called on Sheriff Magerstadt
and asked for protection. He said
that there were 300 men, most of them
armed, waiting along the tracks for
the arrival of the negroes. The sher-
iff ordered six deputies to the scene to
investigate the story, and announced
that if trouble seemed imminent he
would use his entire force.

Columbia, S. c., July 25.-The State
Executive Committee met tonight to
orange for the election of a congress
man TO succeed DIR. Stokes, deceased.
Most Unexpectedly Senator McLaurin
u.as bv a vote of rs to 5, ruled out of

until about midnight. After debating
for long time on resolution govern
ing the primary this measure was in
troduced as a substitute.
The first resolution, while offered to
cover the coming congressional con-
rest was admittedly intended for the
senatorial election next summer. 1t re-
ouired the candidates to indorse the
national platform and to support party
measures in Congress. Because of the
free silver plank in the platform there
was considerable opposition to this
and as it appeared that 1t could not go
through the one calling for McLaurin's
resignation was offered. 1t was op-
nosed chiefly by State Senator Appelt
of Manning. Senator Tillman appeared
as its advocate making cutting and
strong speech in favor of ruling Nc
Laurin out of the party.
Whereas, the Hon. John H. McLau-

WILL SEND NEGROES BACK.
ChicaGo Workers Throw "A Panic
Into the Black AInbamians. -----

Chicago, July 25.-General Manager
Aertsen of the Latrobe Steel and Coup
Ter Works at Melrose Park, gave out
a statement this evening, declaring
that the company has abandoned the
effort to bring negro laborers to Mel
rose Park and that they will be sent
back to their homes in Alabama. All
day the 800 negroes sat in their cars,
2S miles from Chicago, in fear. A COM
mittee of five citizens of Melrose Park
called on them during the morning and
urged the men to return to their homes
in Alabama. They informed the ne
groes of the actual state of affairs in
Melrose Park, where 300 armed men
were awaiting the arrival of their
train. determined that they should not
be allowed to alight in the village
Their statements alarmed the i'm
ported men more than ever, and finally
five of them stepped off the train and
made their way into Chicago, where
they sought an interview with Chief
of Police O'Neill, asking protection
which he could not give, as the trouble
was not within the city limits. After
the five men had left the train to come
to Chicago, the fears of those left on
the train increased greatly. and 1t was
with difficulty that the trainmen man
aged to keep them from running away
in a panic. Nearly all of the colored
men said that they would not go to
Melrose Park. and that if taken there
on the train, they would refuse to get
off. At o'clock Marshal Rau of the
town of Lagrange ordered the tram
bearing the negroes to move out of the
village. 1t did so, and was placed on
siding at Salt Creek, two miles south
of Lagrange.
In the meantime attorneys for the
steel company called upon Sheriff Mag
erstart and asked that the company
be given ample protection against the
mob violence which was threatened.
They stated positively that the labor
ers would be landed in the shops of
the company late this AFTERNOON
whether the sheriff furnished any aid
or not.
Out at Melrose Park the armed cit
izens remained on watch until assured
the negroes were not coming, when
they dispersed.

fense rested.
