TRUST AGGRESSIVE
Promises to Take a Great Spurt in
Mill-Opening.
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS GO AsTRAY
forts Being Made 70 Get Along
without Them.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 26. - Developments
in the steel strike were meager to-day
Probable renewal of peace negotiations by
disinterested parties was again being dis
cussed, but nothing definite could be
learned. Henry NJ. White Of the Gar
ment Makers Of America, and Ralph M.
Easley, of the National Civic Federation,
who took part in the conference in this
city last week, left for the east last night
and it is reported that they went to New
York to make another attempt to have
negotiations between the contending par
ties reopened. President Shaffer, how
ever, said to-day that his association had
authorized no new steps for peace.
The combine, it is said, intends to make
aggressive attempts to start more plants
this week. 1t was successful in putting
/ two more mills in operation at Painters
this morning and has four mills with a
force of 400 men at work The mills start
ed to-day were number one bar mill and
number seven cotton tie mill. The man
agement says that the product is up to
the standard and is being placed on the
market. One of the officials announced
to-day that he had three more crews en-
gagged, but they would not go to work un-
til all the men necessary to operate the
six mills had been secured and then the
plant would run at night as we'll as by
day. He said he was almost certain the
entire works would be running on full
time before the end of this week More
men also were taken into the Star plant of
| the American Tin Plate Company, and at
the Lindsay & McCutcheon Works Of the
Steel Hoop company. The combine Off
cials say they expect to have these mills
in full operation before Saturday. The
strike managers assert that the resump
tion of these plants in full will be an i'm
possibility and say the claims of the steel
people are not borne out by the facts.
They say they scored a victory over the
management of the Star mills by pre-
venting seven men from entering the
plant and that the plant is not running
this morning
Vice President Pierce of the Amalga-
mated Association said there were less
men working in the local mills this morn
ing than for over a week President
Shaffer had heard nothing from Chicago up
to noon. Mr.. Tighe, he said, did not go
out there to get the men to strike, but
merely to attend the meeting.

Robin went east for a fortnight, and
Immediately on his departure Mills COM
menced selling off the stock at any price
he could get. He sold to large wholesale
butchers here yearlings worth SIC for
$11. He disposed Of between $50 and 200
head here and then went to Calgary,
where his firm has large ranch There
he sold between 300 and 400 head at
at about half their market value, selling,
for example, cattle worth S45 for $27.
Davis and Colburne were the butchers.
By the time he got through with his
Calgary transactions, Robin was back
from the east. He found the large trans
actions done here, the ridiculously low
prices charged, no money paid to the bank,
and no account given the bookkeeper He
wired after his partner. but getting no
satisfaction sent Chief Elliott, of the
provincial force, after him and Elliott
caught him at Estevan, on his way to the
United States.
Mills had $4,000 in his pocket when ar
rested and a trunk containing his effects.
He has been one of the st-known cattle
men In western Canada for twenty years
past. The case was continued for week.

which countries liberal governments pre-
vail. Colombia's conservative govern
ment is not popular with the governments
OF the countries mentioned but is popu-
lar with the revolutionary elements in
the same countries. The situation can
be likened to disrupted federation, com
posed of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia
and Nicaragua in which liberal and con-
servative part1zans are helping each other
and intriguing together. But being sep
arate nations, the political and armed
lntrigues threaten International trouble.
1t Is reported that the conservative re-
volt in Venezuela against President Cas-
tro Is receiving active support from the
Colombian conservatives. Nicaragua's s
| threatened revolution probably will be
similarly aided on the occasion arising.
The conditions give ground for the reports
or actual or threatened international
complications between the countries men
toned, in which the liberals are generally
opposed to Colombia's conservative ad-
ministration, whose prophesied downfall
is accompanied by talk of a federation or
countries mentioned, under the idea Of
grand Colombia" The Colombian gov
ernment is in financial straits
The government is printing paper
money indiscriminately. 1t has lately
established heavy export duties, payable
III gOld and mas SOLO mOnOpolleS and
privileges of all kinds, which has greatly
injured commerce. The conditions in the
interior are bad. The government is well
supplied wit hammunition and this week
unsuccessfully tried to become possessed
OF consignments Of the same to Ecuador
and Nicaragua in transit over the Panama
railroad. The rebels on the isthmus are
hampered by a lack Of arms and ammuni'
tion and are reported to be awaiting the
| arrival OF shipments and the presence III
the field of certain leaders before COM
mencing activities on the isthmus. GEN
eral Alban, governor Of Panama, who
was recently granted extraordinary civil
and military powers, is absent at Sana-
villa. He Is supposed to be bringing
troops for the protection of the isthmus.
He lately invited number of friends at
Panama to his house, put a guard at the
door and forced his guests to contribute
literally to the government before re-
leasing them. A Colombian holding mo-
nopolies under the conservatives is being
forced to contribute literally to the pay
ment Of the soldiers and police of the

WILL WAIT TILL INVITED
These Gentlemen Decline to Be OBJ
trusive in Peace Work.

New York, Aug 26.-Ralph M. Easley
secretary of the National Civic Federation
of Labor, and Henry White, secretary Of
the United Garment Workers of America
arrived here to-day from Pittsburg. They
said they had not been authorized to make
any proposition looking towards a set
tlement Of the strike. While in Pitts
burg they had conference with Presi-
dent Shaffer of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, but without result. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, also arrived to-day,
from Buffalo, en- route to Washington.
Mr.. Gompers was in conference with
Messrs. Easley and White, but it was said
the conference resulted in no plan of
action. Mr.. Easley said to-day:
Mr.. White and l did not go to Pittsburg
to make any proposition to Mr.. Shaffer, noI
have we been authorized to make any propo-
sition to the steel trust magnates. We went
there to get information and quite by chance
We met Professor jerks, the trust expert
of the industrial commission, and John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine Work
ers, and the four of US went to see President
Shaffer. We merely wanted to be informed
of the exact situation and to see whether
there was any opening for the good Offices
of our Cancellation board Mr.. Mitchell, fo1
his part, wanted information because had
been asked to call out 600 miners on a
sympathetic strike and was not willing to
"go it blind" We had no proposition tc
make and we did not seek authority to act
for the Amalgamated Association. We mere
ly made it clear that we were at the serv.
ices of both sides in effort to reach g
settlement. We are ready to endeavor tc
bring the contending factors to an under.
standing, but have made no offer to either
side. Such an offer might do more harm
than good.
Mr. Easley said, in conclusion, that he
did not expect to see Messrs. Morgan OF
Schwab and that he was not trying to
obtain a conference with them.

PROPOSITION PENDING
Something to Arouse Curiosity, but
Not Satisfy 1t.

Pittsburg, Aug. 26.-It is given out
by one on the inside, and one who
should know, that the amalgamated exec
utives have consented to have certain
propositions made to the officials of the
United States Steel corporation, through
members Of the conciliatory committee Of
the national civic federation, which pro-
posals are expected to bring about a set
tlement of the great strike.
The propositions, which are to be
taken to New York, carry GER
tain concessions by the ama1gamated
officials which it is hoped will pave the
way for the reopening of direct negotia-
tions between the association and the
company. The proposition carries much Of
the terms under which President Shaffer
and ehis advisers stand willing to settle.
What these terms are and the mode Of
their presentation are carefully guarded
secrets. There is alone the intimation
that they contain concessions of such i'm
portance that those in interest expect the
corporation to drop It's adverse attitude
and reopen negotiations.
The proposal contains nothing looking to
arbitration.

IN HIS LIFE'S PRIME
Mr.. Evans Seemed to Have Many
Useful Years Ahead.

Mr.. Evans Seemed to Have Many
Useful Years Ahead.
Robert Grenap Evans was born at Troy
Indiana, March Is, 1854. His father was
Joseph S. Evans, a Kentuckian of Welsh
and English ancestry, who removed to In
diana in the early fifties. The father mar
ried Mary c. Cotton, daughter of promi-
nent physician. who was a member of the
constitutional convention of 1852.
In 1856 the Evans family removed to
Rockport, Indiana, where Mr.. Evans en-
gagged in the mercantile business Young
Robert worked on a farm and helped his
father, and attended the village schools
until his eighteenth year, when he began
attending the state university at Bloom
ington. He entered as a sophomore, and
spent two years, completing his junior
year.
In 1875 he began to read law in the
office OF Charles l.. Wedding, Of Rock
port, and while studying practiced in the
justice courts of Spencer county. He was
admitted to the bar In 1875 and went to
Vincennes, forming a partnership with
Judge F. W. viehe.
In 1877 occurred his marriage to Miss
Mary Graham, of Evansville. Their
married life of twenty-four years was un-
usually happy, and the death of Mrs. Evans
last April was severe blow, from which
the husband never recovered.
Mr.. Evans removed to Minneapolis in
April, 1884, and in July entered a part
nershlp with Judge Daniel Fish. Mr.
Evans was then 80 years old, in the full
glow Of health, and his splendid abilities
speedily won for him leading place at
the bar. From the first he was in de-
mand as campaigner, and took a leading
part in politics, though never until last
winter as candidate for Office. He was
local attorney for the Omaha road until
1895. The partnership with Judge Fish
was dissolved in 1887, on the latter's re-
tirement from general practice The firm
Of Keith, Evans, Thompson and Fairchild
was then formed by the association OF A.

mostly exists between the Teutonic and
Slav elements Of the population.
In any case it seems certain that the
Russian government will shortly take
steps to prevent the immigration of Ger
mans into Russian Poland. There are at
present, according to official figures. 600,-
600 foreigners in the province of Warsay,
of whom 81 per cent are Germans Ac-
cording to the same figures, 1889 for
eigners, the majority of whom are Ger
mans, own real estate in the province.
The total value Of this real estate in the
hands Of foreigners is 42O, ,OOO, ,O00 roubles.
The numerous industrial establishments
IN the province of Warsaw are now nearly
all in the possession of Germans. AS
the wealth of the rich district of Warsaw
is thus concentrated In the hands of En-
peror Williams subjects, 1t is easy to
foresee what would happen in the event
of a Russo German war. The German"
problem in Poland is certainly not one
of the least important which the Russian
government will be called upon to solve in
the near future.
The new German tariff bill is princi-
pally directed against Russia. The i'm
portation Of Russian wheat into Germany
was particularly disastrous to the agrari-
ans By excluding Russian cereals Ger
many has undoubtedly dealt severe blow
to Russian agriculture. But on the other
hand German manufacturers will pay
dearly for the triumph Of the agrarians
Hitherto the annual exports of manufac-
tured articles from Germany to Russia
amounted to considerably more than $780,
600, 900. The manufactures of Breslau will
suffer considerably by the cutting off of
this large market for their products, and
while the new German tariff has caused
constrnation in agricultural districts in
Russia it has been received with undis-

lnsidious Heart Disease Claims Him as Its Vic
tim The Stroke Was Unexpected
and Speedily Fatal
Ills Death Removes Prominent Figure From
Public Life-Recent Bereavement
Had Broken His Spirit.
Robert G. Evans is dead.

Robert G. Evans is dead
The strong true man, known and loved
by many thousands, in the prime Of man
| hood and at the very zenith of his public
| career, was taken from the land of the liv-
| ing yesterday morning The hand of
death came so swiftly and terribly that
he had not even chance for a parting
word.
Heart disease was the cause Of death
1t occurred at the family residence 2036
Queen avenue S, about 7:45 o'clock Sunday
morning.
Mr.. Evans had dined at the Minneapolis
club late Saturday evening with his friend,
G. ]. Bartleson. He left for home about
II o'clock, and appeared 10 be in his usual
health, which has not been of the best,
however, for several months.
Yesterday morning his daughter, Miss
Margaret Evans, was awakened by her
father, who had grasped the footboard of
the bed and was shaking it to arouse her.
AS she awoke he tried to speak to her,
throwing his head back and struggling to
utter word, but unable to get breath, he
turned and staggered out of the room. He
| went back through his own room and
through the door to the balcony over the
front porch. He seized the railing for
support and stood gasping a moment, then
fell to the floor dead.
The fall was witnessed by Mrs. Edward
5. Pattee, who was sitting on her veranda
across the street and saw Mr. Evans come
out on the balcony. She hurried across
and into the house, reaching the balcony
soon after the daughter, who had hurried
after her father.
w. H. Leyings, who lives next door, was
aroused, and summoned Dr. J. E. Moore.
The doctor arrived in very few minutes,
but there was nothing for him to do but
| help carry the body into the room where
he had been sleeping.
DR.. Moore says that Mr.. Evans had been
suffering from heart disease for a year
and half. His asthmatic trouble was
doubtless connected with the heart
trouble, and on several occasions within
the last year Mr.. Evans has had suffoca-
| ting spells. He was unable to sleep until
| late at night.
The death of Mrs Evans last April
broke down his spirit, and since then he
has not been the same man. He has fre-
Quently remarked that only for the chill
dren, he would be ready to go any time.
| News Of the death spread rapidly. 1t
| was announced from the churches yes
terday morning, and many friends and
public men were notified by wire Friends
of the family took charge of the funeral
arrangements.
Bishop Isaac w. Joyce Of the Method
| ist church will conduct the services
which will be held Wednesday. Bishor
Joyce is in Kansas, where he has been
holding conference. In reply to a tele-
gram sent yesterday he replied to-day
that he would come to conduct the serv-
ice.
Mr.. Evans two sons, Stanley and Gra-
ham, have been ON the 500 extension
work in the Dakotas, but have been noti-
fed and are on the way home.

.FREAKY ON ISTHMUS
Republics Helping Each Others
Revolutions Along.
LIBERAL AGAINST CONSERVATIVE
Venezuela Assists COlOmbia's Reb-
els and Colombia Helps Ven-
exueIa's Insurgents

Colon, Colombia, Aug. 26.-The censor
ship here prevents the transmission of
political news, or news unfavorable to the
government.
The revolt of the liberal Colombian reb-
els, now two years old, lately assumed
more serious aspect by the liberals con-
centration on the isthmus. 1t is believed
they are contemplating aggressive action.
Consequently uneasiness prevails at Pan
ANA, the liberal objective, which was
nearly captured year ago. 1t is not be-
lieved the rebels Will modest the railroad
or interrupt traffic. The recent rebel raids
along the railroad amounted to bloodless
raiding and the robbery of Chinese store
keepers which the presence of a few gov
ernment troops apparently stopped. There
is a report that the government is bring
ing troops to protect the isthmus. This
will be difficult without exposing to
rebel attacks the points whence they are
taken. The area Of the revolt is extern
sive.
A noticeable, distinguishing feature of
the revolution is the actual and moral
support the liberals are receiving from
Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua. in
