abdomen, his liver exposed and three
fractures Of his skull by blows from a
hatchet, James BRENNAN lives at the
camp south of here, where Cleveland
company of workmen are engaged upon

the former having escaped.
The trouble arose at the camp where
the force Of laborers make their head
quarters, BRENNAN claiming he had not
had his supper, the cook, Mahon, claim
ing he had.
A fight ensued and BRENNAN was
slashed horribly and was pounded on
the head with q hatchet Evans was
captured, having had the hatchet in his
hand after the fight was over.
Officers visited the camp last night
and great excitement prevailed. Nearly
all the men are laborers from Cleve-
land, but at this late hour addresses
cannot be obtained. BRENNAN, the
victim, cannot live more than an hour
or two as his vitals are exposed to
full view.

SAW FEDERATION OFFICIAL.
6haffer and Others Stopped Off at
Washington, En- Route to
: Pittsburu.

Washington, Aug. 5.-President
Shaffer and other members Of the ex-
ecutive board of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers have been sounding the
American Federation of Labor as TO
the extent the latter body can be de-
pended upon in supporting the great
steel strike now under way
With this object in view, President
Shaffer, Secretary Williams, B. !.
Davis, M. +. Tighe and John Chappell
came to Washington after the an-
nouncement in New York OF their fall
ure to reach an agreement with the
United States Steel officials. They
reached the city late Saturday night
and registered at one Of the downtown
hotels. Their presence in the city
was known only to q few people.
They departed for Pittsburg about IL
o'clock Sunday morning. While here
the committee had two extended In
teryiews with General Secretary
Frank Morrison, the principal officer
Of the American Federation Of Labor
now In the city, President Gompers
being away for few days visit to
the north. Mr.. Morrison was exceed
ingly loath to discuss the object Of
the committees visit. He would not
say specifically to what extent the
Federation would aid the Amalgamat-
ed association. He confined himself
to the general statement that the
committee had come to Washington
for conference with the ofhcials Of
the American Federation Of Labor as
to the best methods Of procedure In
carrying on the strike. He had talked
with each member of the committee
and each had expressed himself as alb
solutely certain that the association
would be victorious. The Amalgamat-
I'D association, Mr.. Morrison said,
was an afiiliated body with the Fed
Grafton, and as such was entitled to
the cooperation and aid OF the greater
body In conducting the strike move
ment to an effective and successful
issue. Mr.. Morrison expressed him
self as confident Of the ultimate vic
tory Of the steel workers and felt GER
tain that the Federation Of Labor
would give them all the aid in its
power. He was asked specifically
whether orders would be issued for
an extension Of the strike In afiliated
branches of labor and regarding
financial assistance to the steel strik-
ers. but declined to answer the ques-
tions. The members OF the general
council Of the federation are within
reasonable distance OF Washington.
and II any decisive action is to bo
taken by the Federation In the mat
ter Of cooperative action in aiding
the steel strikers 1t Is probable a
meeting Of the council win be called
for that purpose. President Gompers
is expected to return to Washington
early in the week, probably today.

Brought to the President
by General Sampson,
CONSUL TO ECUADOR
President EI Tayro Sends His
Respects and Expresses Best
Wishes for the Prosperity
of This Country.

Among the visitors to the president
the latter part of the week, who slip
ped in quietly and out again without
causing commotion or comment, was
General A. j. Sampson, minister to
Ecuador, on his way from Ecuador to
his home Phoenix, Ariz., on leave
of absence. He stopped off in Canton
a few hours to pay his respects to the
president and, his intention of visiting
here being known to President Ell
Tayro, of Ecuador, he was entrusted
by him with complimentary message
to President Mckinley, expressing the
good will of the people of his country
to those of the United States and his
personal friendship for Mr.. Mckinley.
President El Tayro said that it was his
ardent hope that the United States
would continue to retain the lead it
had taken, and distance the other great
nations SO far that there would be no
chance for them to catch up. He fur
ther expressed the hope that President
McKinley's administration would con-
tinue to be as brilliant as it has been
thus far.
The message was formally presented
and the minister and the president
spent some little time together so.
cially, General Sampson leaving in the
evening for Cleveland, his home years
ago, to visit relatives before continuing
his journey to Arizona. Prior to his
present appointment General Sampson
was consul to Paso del Norte, Mexico.
during Harrison's administration and
had been attorney general Of Colorado.
In speaking Of the future of Ecuador
and her great natural resources Gen
eral Sampson said to a reporter:
"rhe future development of Ecuador
is to be chiefly found in transportation
said General Sampson. "At present
every pound Of nails, every piano, and
in fact all imports to Quito must be
carried more than 900 miles over the
roughest kind Of roads 1t Is Journey
that requires all the way from six to
thirteen days. A syndicate Of Ameri-
can gentlemen are at present engaged
in the task OF building railway from
Nthe coast down Guayaquil to Quito
The project will cost more than $17-
000, GOO before 1t is completed. Major
John A. Harmon, U. 8. A., gave up a
life job to take charge Of the work.
It is easy TO see what this railroad
will do for Ecuador. This country OF
great resources a country that supplies
more than one-third of the total
amount of cocoa beans raised in the
world, and that also furnishes more
than her share Of coffee, rubber, etc.
will be opened to the commerce OF
other nations, and then things Will
move"

the wants of the Berger works and
probably some Of the others. Some Of
them, notably the Eller company, II
was stated few days ago, might event
ually be affected II the strike continued
and they were unable to get sufficient
supply from independent mills. This
has not occurred yet, and may not at
all.
So, to sum It up, Canton is not likely
to be affected by the strike save as 1t
now affects the men who ought to be
employed at the Canton Rolling Mill
company. There are about 200 OF these.
They have already lost large sum Of
money in wages by the treatment Of the
Canton mill by the trust and by the
subsequent strike. Canton merchants
and business men generally share in
these losses in some proportion or an
other.
BRIDGE WORKS.
The bridge companies use great
deal Of steel, and are factors In the
fight now being waged. The company
that was formerly known as the
Wrought Iron Bridge company of this
city, Is member Of the American
Bridge company, trust that takes in
many prominent bridge building con-
Germs, and that trust is Itself member
of the more colossal trust, the United
States Steel company, with j. Pierpont
Morgan at its head. The bridge con-
Germs that are operated by employees
that are members OF the Amalgamated
association are likely to be affected by
the strike, as 1t is clearly evident now
that the Amalgamated will control and
cause to strike, every member Of its
association anywhere, and every union
man who belongs to any organization
that will be helpful in causing such in
convenience to the steel trust and It's
associated corporations as will suggest
an early settlement of the strike.
1t was said at the local branch Of the
American Bridge company, Monday,
that no trouble was anticipated at the
bridge works in Canton, as none Of the
workmen is a member OF the Amalga-
mated association. One Of the officials
of the concern stated that the company
was fairly we'll supplied with material
now and the only way that the strike
could affect it would be to cause a
shortage Of material later, making it
impossible for them to fill some Of their
orders.
BUILDING MATERIAL.
One Of the chief products of bridge
works and some of the other concerns
that handle large pieces of steel, is
stringers and such other steel frame
work as enters into the construction OF
large buildings. One building In Can:
ton that might be affected by lack OF
material is the new hotel building, now
in the course Of construction on the
site of the late SaXton block. AT pres
ent the steel for the structure has no
all arrived and delay might be occa
stoned in getting it, now that the strike
is on in earnest, but the contractor!
were confident, Monday, that the!
would have no difficulty, as their ordel
was placed before the strike begar
to get in its work on the mills, and Il
ought to be reached and out OF the way
before the real effect Of the lock-ou
is felt in all of the mills.
