M0RGAN'S FLAT REFUSAL
The Financier Declines to Reopen the Wage Conference With
 the Strikers.


 Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The Commercial Gazette tomorrow will say:
 The Amalgamated Executive Board last evening received by telegraph a fiat refusal from J. P. Morgan to re- open the wage conference where 1t was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln nearly three weeks ago. The powers of the steel combine insist that the only basis of settlement will be on the terms which President c. M. Schwab and Chairman E. H. E. Gary laid down at the meeting with the Amalgamated of ficials in New York on last Saturday A member of the Executive Board said last night: These terms are denom- mated by those who have the best in- terests of the organization of the steel workers at heart as the most unfair, the most unjust ever proposed to any body of workingmen by a set of em- ployers or a corporation. The terms are such that the Executive Board of the Amalgamated Association cannot accept and has already gone on record to that effect"
 Tomorrow morning the answer of MT. Morgan Is expected by mail. There is scarcely a fragment of a hope that the Amalgamated Association will back down from its we'll known position. The leaders of the workers will. in re- ply, outline their plans to the steel cor poration for a continuance of the great struggle. They will include the stop ping of every wheel possible in the works of the combine and the exten- sion of the strike in all possible direc- tions by the Amalgamated Association. Today may develop much. but if the combine cannot be made to waver through the influence that will be brought to bear, the great conflict prob ably will be fought to the end.

 Headquarters.

Indianapolis. Aug. 1.-The National So- cialist Convention adjourned tonight. af- ter electinR Leon Greenbaum of St. Louis national secretary and designating St. Louis as the national headquarters of the party. As the delegates filed from the hall they sang the Marsellaise.
 Much of the wrangle during the night session hinged on the effort to embody in the articles of resolution a clause pro- hibiting Socialists from accepting office under either of the capitalist" parties and from entering the ranks of the State militia. Both of these clauses were finally adopted. The judiciary of the country was branded as "a servile tool in the hands of the capitalists and hostile to the interests of labor
 At the last moment a resolution was in- troduced declaring the establishment of unity. In every question that came up the Chicago faction had beer voted down and when this made it's appearance, Berg CT of Milwaukee. the Debs leader, signi- fed his defeat by declaring the convention dad accomplished it's purposes that. stshi- cago had surrendered and unity was es- tAblished

EASTER SUNDAY
DULY OBSERVED
Churches Celebrate End of Lent
With Impressive Special
Services.
SATURDAYS FORECAST VERIFIED
Heavens Fail to Weep and Old
Sol Battles the Earth in a
Flood of Radiance.

The skies wore an ominous frown
yesterday morning and mortals trem-
bled in dire apprehension. But as
the day wore on spots of blue ap-
peared on the horizon. They grew
nearer and more numerous till finally
the sun broke forth in broad smile
at the perturbation his erratic course
had caus=d. From this time till sun
set he played peek-a-boo behind big
white cumulus curtains, the latter
disappearing at nightfall and leaving
the stars in radiant possession of the
heavens.
Not drop of rain fell here, but it
is not entirely reassuring to learn
that there was a respectable shower
at Peoria. So if the flag ends of that
city's seven Sundays of wetness occa-
sionally drift this way we must accept
them with the best possible grace.
The beautiful afternoon brought out
many gorgeous triumphs of the tail
or's and milliner's art and the streets
presented very animated appearance
till well into the evening. The north
wind, however, was rather chilly and
many were constrained to cling to
their winter garb a week or so longer
out of regard for their physical well
fare.
In the Churches.
Ali the churches observed Easter in
some manner, the Catholic ceremonies
of course, being the most elaborate
Grand music marked the day at Sacred
Heart, at st. Mary's and st. JosePh's
churches.
At the First Methodist church the
morning numbers were rendered BY
the regular choir and Sunday school
while in the evening the Jubilee sing
ers gave the congregation a rare treat
At the First Baptist church Mrs
Thomas Casey and Miss Josephin
Woodin sang in the evening with fin
effect.
A cantata entitled ''He Is Risen
by chorus of 40 Sunday school chi
dren was the feature of the evenin,
services at the Broadway Presbyteria
church.
Knights TempIar Service.
At Trinity Episcopal the prir
cipal service was that for the Knight
Templar, of Davenport and Rock 1:

knights were in full uniform and tn

impressive character.
