Commissions for ST. Louis Fair.

Washington, April 1.-The president
has made the following appointments:
To be delegates to the congress of Amer
lean states-Cyrus Northrop of Minnesota,
H. G. Davis of West Virginia, William l..
Buchanan of Iowa, Charles M. Pepper of
the District of Columbia and Volney B..
Foster of Illinois.
To be members of the Louisiana pur-
chase commission-John NJ. Thurston OF
Nebraska, Thomas H. Carter of Montana,
William Lindsay of Kentucky, G. w. Nc
Bride of Oregon, F. A. Belts of Connect
cut, John NJ. Allen of Mississippi, Martin
H. Glynn of New York John f. Miller of
Indiana, and Philip d. Scott of Arkansas.
The presidents announcement OF the
membership of these two important COM
missions completes a work that has been
receiving his attention forsome time, and
in the case of the st. Louis commission
the pressure for appointments has been al
most unprecedented.
The congress of American republics to
be held at Mexico City next October IS
hardly less important, however, and in its
international prospect it promises to be to
the western hemisphere what The H que
congress was to Europe and the few west
ern countries participating in it.

Forts to Fall.

Pekin, April Safeguarding the destruc-
ton of the forts the generals are practi-
cally agreed that those at Taku, Shan-hai-
kwan and Tientsin must at least be rem
dered useless, while the north fort at the
entrance of the River Taku must be de-
stroyed entirely on account of the fact that
ever since it was built it has caused lower
water on the bar, having diverted the
course of the streamg The merchants have
frequently complained to the consuls, but
no government has liked to ask China to
destroy fort at the entrance to an inn
portant river" This, however, can now
be done as a matter of military necessity,
and will give foreign merchants intense
satisfaction, as, in consequence of its be-
ing done, the river will in a short time
again be navigable as far as Tentsin.

Il HUNG CHANG LEAVES
REPORTED Ii HAS LEFT PEKIN
BY Order of the Emperor-Wns Too
Pro-Russian-Trted TO Bring Abou,
the Signing of the Mancburi,.
Convention.

Washington, April although no Of
fetal notice has reached here of the report
ed departure of Prince Lii Hung Chang
from Pekin for Shanghai, the officials arc
inclined to believe it is true and that /;
Hung Chang is really leaving Pekin for
good and because the emperor Is displeased
with his conduct of the negotiations. II
was known that when Ii Hung Chang
was made one of the peace ENJOYS he was
pro-Russian in sentiment, but there was
no cause for complaint on that score until
the Manchurian agreement came up for
consideration. Now it is believed bv Of
ficials here that Earl Lii has proved so
earnest an advocate of the Russian cause
and has so strenuously worked for the
signing of the agreement that his own
government has felt it necessary to de-
prlve him of power to further the agree
ment. If tnis understanding is correct it
Is believed that an effectual check has
been administered to Russia in her designs
upon Manchuria, for it is thought the en-
pelor of China would scarcely have acted
IN this summary fashion had he not re-
celved assurances of support from some of
the other powers
Mr.. Rockhill has not acquainted the
government with the exact language of the
agreement reported to have been reached
at Pekin as to the Chinese forts, but tax
ing the press accounts of the Ministerial
meeting as accurate, it is gathered that
Secretary Hays views have formed the
basis of the agreement. The original prop
osition, strongly backed by most of the
European powers, was to completely de-
stroy the Chinese forts in the gulf of Pc
che-li, and on the road from Taku to Pc
kin. The state department felt that it
would be inexpedient to proceed so far and
leave China naked to the attack of the
meanest foe. Therefore the powers were
urged to content themselves with the
simple dismantlement of the forts, leaving
them i'll condition to be again mounted
with guns in reasonable time. 1t is be-
lieved here that this project has been ac-
cepted, for it appears from the language
of the press dispatches that the only fort
ordered to be destroyed is one on point
in the Pei river, which is to be removed
simply because it forms an obstacle to nav
igation.

Men Are Quiet and
Orderly.
Skilled Workmen Not
Among Strikers,
But Can't Proceed Without Their
Helpers.

The strike of employees of the Stirl-
ing Boiler Co.,. at Barberton, is still
unsettled, but everything is quiet and
orderly. !.
1t is believed by the strikers that
the strike will be settled soon, as it
places the company at disadvantage.
They say there are many orders to
fill, and without the $50 men now on
strike, the plant cannot be operated.
The men who are out-members of
the Barberton Federation of Labor
are principally helpers in the boiler
shop and foundry, and quite a number
outside of the plant.
Without them, the skilled workers
cannot proceed, and are obliged to re-
main idle. There is no difficulty be.
tween the company and skilled work
men.
Nothing was accomplished at the
conference between Superintendent
Snedden and the strikers Tuesday af.

getting rid of the bulk of his union
reporters by reducing the force to five,
President Clarence NJ. Jones, of the

of four of those five. leaving only a

resign and now Jones plays the limit
by reducing his force of reporters to
''none." Thus City Editor L. e. Par
sons is the only man in the local de-
partment this morning.
City Editor Parsons is sitting at his

President Jones has made no attempts
to put non-union men at work as yet.
What his plans can be is a puzzle.

His Big Interests In the
Bethlehem Co.
Demand Much Time
and Attention.
Yrs Trust Holdings Too important
to be Let Go.

New York. Aug. 21.-(Spl)--Presi-
dent G. M. Schwab, Of the Steel trust,
declines to discuss the report that he
would resign and devote his time TO
the management of the Bethlehem
Steel and Iron Co. Well Informed
steel men say, however, that the story
is not true.
A renewal Of the gossip regarding
the disposition of the Bethlehem com
pany has brought out an interesting
story Of the deal by which possession
OF the company was obtained.
For year and more there has been
talk of ship building combination be-
tween the Vickers Sons and Maxim
Co., and the Cramp Ship Building Co.,
of Philadelphia. Part of the scheme
was to acquire control of the Bethle-
hem company. Representatives of the
Morton Trust CO., who were in charge
of the negotiations offered $3.50 a
share, when Mr.. Schwab jumped in
and bidding $24 share, secured con
troll. 1t was understood at the time
that he was acting in the interest Of
a syndicate which had been provision
ally formed for the promotion of n
ship building combination. But for
reasons which cannot be ascertained,
the plans of the syndicate fell through,
leaving Mr.. Schwab in the anomalous
position of being president of the U.
8. Steel Co., and prominent in the
trust.
