main building. which joined them. From its
windows one comma nded the city and the
port lying at its feet, in such a way that
no new object could escape the eye of the

had reconstructed. 1t was situated at the
foot OF high mountain and had q view OF
the city lying below it, the port and the
shores of Tuscany, across the six or seven
miles of water. Between these residences
the Emperor passed the period of his exile
In Elba from May 4. 1914, to February 26.
1915. when he returned to France for the
hundred days and Waterloo.

MORGAN RECEIVES CREDIT.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. July 81. Pierpont Morgan
has ended the great strike of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Iron. Steel and Tin
Workers. It may fairly be called q drawn
battle ended by mutual concessions, though
the strikers. disappointed by the lack OF
sympathetic support, welcomed the opportu-
nifty for q renewal Of negotiations at the
point where they had been broken OF.
The Amalgamation Association will recede
from its demand that all the sheet-steel
mills be put upon union basis. The mills
that have not been organized under union
rules will SO remain.
On the other hand. the corporation will
agree to pay a specific scale of wages in all
mills, union and nonunion, controlled by the
American Sheet Steel Company, though all
nonunion mills shall remain open alike to
men with or without union cards. This will
be substantially the basis OF settlement. 1t
is the substance Of the understanding
reached by MI Morgan and President SHAFT
fer Of the Amalgamated Association in their
Saturday conference In this city.
President Shaffer and Secretary Williams
returned to Pittsburg yesterday morning.
When the National Executive Board of the
Amalgamation Association, the members OF
which have been already summoned, meets
in conference in Pittsburg tomorrow the
understanding reached between Mr.. Morgan
and Mr.. Shaffer will doubtless be formally
ratified, though some minor details may vet
have to DO adjusted with the operating com.
pAnies.
MI. Morgan has offered a compromise in
the interest Of harmony, Mr.. Shaffer favort
