the presence of vast concourse of An

MANY STEEL MILLS
BEGIN WORK AGAIN
General Resumption Expect
ed by Monday.
THE STRIKE IS A MEMORY

About the Only Men Out Are the Dis
gruntled Tinworkers, Who Have
Not Yet Been Conciiiated-Preside
Shaffer Will Issue Statement.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 20.-With few ex-
ceptlons work was resumed at least in a
measure at the combine steel mills to-
day, and if the disgruntled tinworkers
can be conciliated by next Monday, all
plants will be in full operation. The
Pennsylvania and Continental tube
mills and the Elba iron works in this
city started up last night and were run
ming in full this morning.
Preparations were made today for the
starting on Monday of the Newcastle
plant of the National Steel company,
employing 2,O00 men. It is also expect
ed that the Riverside Iron works at
Wheeling will start Monday and that
the wood sheet plant at McKeesport
will receive its 1000 workmen on that
morning.
Among the tinworkers the feeling
against returning to work, unless the
union is recognized, is still strong, but
influences are at work, which, it is
hoped, will induce the strikers to recon-
slider their heated determination before
any rash move is made. They had in
tended meeting yesterday to finally act
upon their grievances, but action was
postponed unGil this afternoon. In the
meantime committee will wait upon
Manager J. r. Philips of the PiUtsburg
district of the combine and request that
he withdraw his stipulation that the
Star, Demmler and Monongahela tin
tenn, which they claim means a heavy
reduction in wages. If Manager Phil
lps will make this concession they say
they will return to work and postpone
their intention to form a separate or
ganization and continue to fight with
the tin plants.
At McKeesport all the plants but one
rolling mill, where the men insist upon
recognition, were running and the strike
Is regarded as a memory.
President Shaffer was not at his office
this morning. 1t was said he was work
ing on statement that would probably
be issued tomorrow.
The Amalgamated Journal, comment
ing upon the New York settlement, says:
"The causes that led up to this unsat-
isfactOry settlement were the over.
whelming odds that the association had
to battle against. the daily press, pub
lie opinion, the advice of prominent la
Dor leaders and the withdrawal of credit
by merchants"

CHARLESTON, Sept. 30. The unex-

of internal revenue, and well known as
the Republican boss of South Carolina

The death of President Mckinley had
the effect of chilling the hopes Of che

up white Republican party, and while
there was much speculation as to what
attitude President Roosevelt would as
sumo, the news came that Mr.. Webster
was dead. This will Inake it necessary
for the immediate appointment of suc-
cessor The tagging interest in the Mo-
Laurin fight was promptly put on the
edge, and from all sections of South
Carolina the politicians are wondering
how it will end.
There are a number of candidates who
are hot after the Office, even before the
body of Webster was returneu the
earth. There is warm fight, both ~
the old line Republicans and the
Laurin Republican Democrats, and Rf
general impression seems to be thatflI

ANXIOUS FOR A LOWER RATE.
Cotton MIL Men Are Not Pleased With
the Price Charged.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 20-Railroad peo.
pie in this state are concerned over the
action of the cotton mill presidents,
who are anxious to get lower freight
rate to seaports, as well as between 10.
cal points in South Carolina. At the
Greenville conference of the mill presi-
dents a committee was appointed to
take the rate question before the state
railroad commission. One of the leading
railroad men in Charleston said that
any attempt to force a reduction be-
tween local points would be relatively
unfair to the transportation companies.
Recently" he said, 'the railroads
made a reduction in rates by which the
Carolina mills were able to handle cot
ton from Alabama and Tennessee on
the same basis as Carolina cotton. Ex-
ira supplies had to be secured in this
state and the mills would have been
crippled had not the railroads made
sweeping reductions. 1t would be the
greatest injustice now if any attempt is
made to put the rate between points in
the state on the basis of the long haul
from Alabama and Tennessee.
The question will be taken up by the
commission at its next meeting.

TRAINS COLLIDE.
Two Men Killed In n Fatal Railway
Disaster which Occurred
Near Buffalo.

Lockport, N. Y, Aug. 5.-A PAN
American special heavily loaded and
regular train collided few miles
east of this city about one o'clock Sun
day morning on the New York Central.
Thomas Hyland, an engineer, and
George Webb, trainman, were killed,
and fireman was severely injured.
The regular train was late at Medina,
and received orders to run to Middle
port and await the Pan-American spe-
cial. When the train reached Middle
port they met the Buffalo theater
train, which they thought was the
special they were to pass. In the
meantime the Pan-American special
had received orders to proceed to
Middleport. The trains met few
miles east of this city. The passen-
gers of both trains were thrown into
panic by the shock, but none was
seriously injured.
