WILL T AT WORK.

A dispatch from Monessen, Pa, says:
1t has just leaked out that a secret
meeting was held Thursday night by
the men of the National tin plate plant
and a large representation of workers
decided not to participate in the strike
as they have obtained an advance vol
unfairly and the management agreed
to protect them.
The nine men who quit yesterday
afternoon in the hot mill OF the Ma
tional plant we're really discharged, it
is claimed, by the strikers for agitating
the strike question. The meeting yes
terday resulted in nothing definite.
The girls in the sorting room are
talking of quitting unless their de-
mands are complied with. Their griev-
ance is that formerly they had a helper
to stack their tin. Helpers got 80
cents a day and sorters $1.10. Now the
girls have to do their own stacking
and get $1.1O, while they want $l.25.
It is thought they will be out In a
couple OF days unless they get their
advance. Forty girls are employed in
this department, and II they go out
the mill will be very badly crippled.
Altogether, the outlook for closing
the mill IL stronger than ct any former

NO EXTENSION MADE.

President Shaffer has not yet made a
move toward extending the strike to
other plants Of the great steel combine.
Extra measures will not likely be taken
unless 1t is found to be absolutely nee
essary to do so In order to win. The
contributions Of the men at work are
needed to carry on the strike. If a gen.
eral strike wal ordered the association,
among other donations, would lose the
substantial one of $4,000 a month from
the Federal Steel Company employees
alone. The men employed In the other
plants owned by the Steel Corporation
who would be affected by a general
strike order are expected to make lib
eral contributions to the strike fund.
A long strike is now expected In some
quarters. A consumer Of sheets who
had placed some large orders with the
American Sheet Steel Company for de-
livery during the next three months,
has written to steel brokers and job
bers in this city to aid him in securing
the sheets needed to meet the require
ments. He added in n of his letters
that the combine informed him that his
order could not receive attention for at
least three months. On this he bases
the prediction that the strike will con-
tinue for two months.

T. j. Shaffer said to-day that no over
lures have been made by the United

settlement OF the strike. He said he
had not had any communication what
ever with either President Schwab or
j. P. Morgan since the strike was de-
clared.
He said he was waiting for something
to transpire and that he would not be
the first to make the overture. When
asked as to what course he thought the
manufacturers would adopt in fighting
the workers Mr.. Shaffer said that he
thought the Wellsville situation was a
SUFFICIENT answer to this question. 1t is
seer by this that the strike leaders ex-
pect a hard fight and that he thinks
the manufacturers will make an effort
to run their mills with n%on-union men

WILL HOLD ALL
 THE ANARCHISTS

Chicago, Sept. 1S-'Every one of the anarchist prisoners will be held. l do not anticipate any violent demonstration in Chicago, but I am preparing to meet any move by the pOpulace,' declared Chief of Police ONeill tonight.
 There may be no session of court to- morrow, so that the deferred habeas cor pus proceedings for the release of the nine anarchists in the county jail will not proceed.
 If court is called. it is probable that Judge Chetlain will fix the bonds of the prisoners at a high figure on account of the death of President Mckinley, and because of new information in the hands of the police.
 News received by Chief O'Neill today from Buffalo and substantiated by the unwilling testimony of Dr. Isaac Saylin and Emma Goldman, shows that there was a meeting of anarchists in Buffalo as late as Sept. 2. This meeting was held in the house of a Mrs. Lang and was attended by Emma Goldman, Dr. Saylin, an anarchist from New York named Keptous. one from Cleveland named NOrr, and woman from Roch- ester whose name has not yet been learned.
 This information was transmitted by Chief O'Neill to City Prosecutor Taylor and a conference took place between the Chief. pr. Taylor and Mayor Harrison.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 1S.-Be- fore o'clock 1t was clear to those at the Presidents bedside that he was dying and preparations were made for the last sad offices of farewell from those Who were nearest and dearest to him.
 Oxygen had been administered steadily, but with little effect in keeping back the approach of death. The Pr eside1- came out of one period of unconscious ness only to relapse into another. But In this period, when his mind vas partially clear. occurred a series of events of pro foundly touching character. Down stars with strained and tear-statned faces members of the cabin4t were grcup'd in anxious waiting. They knew the end was near and that the time had come when they must sse him for the last time on earth This was about o'clock. One bv one they ascs 1d41 the stairway Secretary Root, Secretary Hitchcock ani Attorney General Knox. Secretary Will son also was there, but ne hell back, not wishing to see the President in his last agony. There was only nomentary stay of the cabidet Olncers at lhe threshold of the IeaIn chamber. Then tbev withdrew the tears streaming dov Il their faces and the words of intense grief choking in their thr"ats
 ASKED THAT HIS
 WIFE BE BROUGHT.
 After thev left the sick room the physi- cians rallied him 60 consciousness and the President asked almost immediately that his wife be brought tc him The doctors fell back into the shadows Of the room as Mrs. Mckinley came through the doorway. The strong face ot the dying man lightened up wr5H faint smile as their hands were clasp d. She sat be- side him and held his hand, Despite her physical weakness she bore up brave ly under the ordeal
 The President in his last period or consciousness which ended about TAO chanted the words of the hymn ''Nearer. my God, to Thee" and his last audible conscious words as taken down by pr. Mann at the bedside were: Good bye. all good bye It is Gods way. His will be done"
 Then his mind began to wander and soon he completely lost consciousness. His life was prolonged for hours by the administration of oxygen and the Presi- dent nhally expressed a desire to be allowed to die. About S:SO the adminis- tration oxygen ceased and the pulse grew
