Explosion on a Steamer at New Orleans
Thought to Have Been the Work of

New Orleans, Aug. 1O.-What is regard

blow up a British transport occurred
shortly after midnight, when a terrific ex-
plosion occurred at the stock landing,
where the Harrison steamer Mechanician
is moored. The Mechanician is to carry
mules to South Africa.
The explosion shook houses, ratified
dishes and awakened people for some dis
tance around. Most of the crew of the
ship were asleep, but the explosion
brought them quickly from their berths
to the deck. An examination showed a
large dent on the starboard side of the
ship. Two plates at the waters edge had
been sprung and considerable water was
let into the ship.
Pumps were Immediately put to work
and when daylight came It was found that
the vessel was in no danger of sinking and
that the damage done was not serious.
The crew of the vessel denied that there
were any explosives on board and there
seems little doubt, according to the state

For three days the detectives have tried
all sorts Of persuasion to make Winters
confess, but apparently without effect.
Finally he asked to see Superintendent
Ropp Of the Selby works, who he said was
the only friend he had. In his conversa-
tion with Ropp, Winters manner indicated
that he knew where the gold had been
hidden. Ropp told Winters they had a
strong case against him and that he would
be sent to prison for thirty years. He
said:
You will be an old man when you get out
and it will do you no good to hide the gold
We know it is hidden in the water near
the works and we will search every inch
You may be sure that the gold will be found
before you are out of prison.
Winters finally weakened and told Ropp
that he had taken the gold and would take
him to the spot where it was hidden
Winters, in company with Superintendent
Ropp and force of detectives, left on a
tug last night for Crockett. There they
waited all night for low tide. Winters
pointed out the place at the end Of the
railroad wharf behind the coal bunkers
at the head of the Vallejo ferry slip. At
that point at low tide the mud is about
four feet deep, covered by foot of water
When the tug first reached Crockett
Winters pointed out the spot in the water
where he said he had thrown the gold
Superintendent Ropp marked the place on
the wharf and the tug steamed away to
wait for low tide.
This morning Winters got into the mud
and water up to his neck, and, for an
hour and a half groped for the missing
bullion. Up to 10 o'clock $4,000 worth
had been recovered. This includes the
four bars of fine gold.
Winters had put some of the bars in
bags. He said one of the bags had broken
and some small bars had dropped out 1t
is now only a question of careful search
to find the rest of the $280000. Winters
claims he did the job all alone. He says
he made fourteen trips from the vault
to the wharf from which he dropped the
gold The smelter officials, however, are
positive that he received assistance from
some one, while the detectives think his
story is true.
The tug with the detectives and prison
er, returned to this city this afternoon.

ANTITRUST
H. B. Martin Heads Move
ment Against the Steel
Corporation.

From The Jour,laE Bmreoss, Room 40, Post
Building, Washington.
Washington, Aug. 10.-H B. Martin, ma
tional seere etary of the American Anti
Trust League, has placed himself very
aggressively at the head of the movement
which originated in this city and intends,
If possible, to bring the attorney general
OF the United States over to the side of
the steel strikers in Pittsburg and other
strike centers. Martin is well-known in
Minneapolis, where he lived for many
years. He last figured there as labor
man at the time of the Great Northern
strike in 1894, and since then has been
in the east with headquarters in Washing
ton.
He has brought the entire strength of
the antitrust league TO the service of the
strikers and has for an ally the district
assembly of knights of Labor, with head
quarters in this city. Martin has been
made chairman of a general committee to
push matters and has already arranged
for ex-Attorney General Monnett, of Ohio,
to c~me here early next week and head
the delegation which will appear before
Attorney General Knox.
Knox will be asked by this delegation
to lend his official aid n institution of
quo warranto, mandamus or Injunction
proceedings against the steel trust in Ohio
and elsewhere in the name of organized
labor. If he refuses it is the plan to go
before some federal circuit court and an
ply for writ ordering him to appear and
snow cause why he should not be punished
1or refusal to enforce the law. Martin is
confident that such a writ can be secured
under existing federal statutes In fact
ne has been advised to that effect by emf
nent legal counsel in Washington which
Las been assisting his committee for two
DAYS past, and by Monnett by letter.
In Ohio, definite arrangements have
been made with several county attorneys

P1ttsburg, Aug. 10.-The men at the
large Riverside Iron Works, Brentwood,
W. Va, a plant of the National Tube
Works, obeyed the order Of President
Shaffer and came out on strike this
morning. The plant was being operated
as a nonunion mill.
The strike came EARLIER than was ex-
pected At o'clock this morning, when
the men in the plate mill, where the skelp
for the tube is rolled, finished their turn,
they dropped their tools and an
nounced to the management that
they would not be back on Mon
day. They were the first men
throughout the country to obey the gen.
eral strike order of President Shaffer.
The mill has been in operation as a non
union plant and was only recently or
ganized. The Amalgamated leaders ex-
pected that the men would hold another
meeting and feared that opposition to the
strike would develop. There were 61O
men employed in the plate mill, but only
one-half that number were engaged on
the turn which finished at o'clock this

the men on the other shift will support
the strike and refuse to go to work when
the next turn commences. The action of
the Riverside men greatly pleases the
strike leaders and they claim that the tie
up there will be general.
Strike order Effective To-day.
The general strike order of Pres
ident Shaffer Of the Amalgamated
Association becomes effective to-day
and the army of iron, steel and tin
workers to which it is addressed is ex-
pected to throw down their tools at the
close of the last turn. The close approach
OF the final hour has produced no appre-
ciable change here, and as yet there has
not been ripple Of excitement At the
strike headquarters in the Bissell block
the newspaper reporters and correspond
ents outnumber the representatives OF
labor, and the Carnegie building, from
which the steel interests are being di-
rected, was Quieter than on an ordinary
business day. With the opposing sides at
the parting Of the ways there Is still much
talk Of a settlement
Strong appeals have been made to both
President Shaffer and President Gompers
asking that they throw their influence
toward settlement, and various plans
for avoiding a general strike have been
discussed and offered by disinterested men
on the outside.

that the explosion was from the outside
and that some sort Of bomb or torpedo
had been used.
Alfred LIE Blanc, agent for the line, Wis
tied the Mechanician early. He said
three large plates in the starboard side Of
the ship had been stove in and that six
teen rivets had been broken off or knocked
completely from their places. AS the ship
was making considerable water it was de-
cided to shift the ballast so as to lift the
damaged section out of the water. Agent
LIE Blanc said the Mechanician would be
loaded with cargo of mules on Monday
and get away for South Africa as soon
as possible.
A British officer who was on the ship
last night said that the explosion was
terrific and that column of water went
high up in the air and came down on deck.
Captain Ball, Of the Mechanician, was
on board at the time, but neither he nor
his officers expressed any theory with re-
gard to who was responsible for the ex-
piosion. 1t was suggested in some quar-
ters that it might have been the act Of
some disgruntled muleteer. Many of the
multeers who have from time to time,
left the city on the British transports
have returned with complaints Of i'll treat
ment and number Of suits are now
pending against British ships in the fed
eral courts.

has received orders to fence the works
IN, and the order is taken as an indication
OF move to reopen the works with non
union men. 1t is said that the carpenters
union will refuse to build the fence, and
that the officials Of the mill will have to
do the work themselves
A telegram from Bellaire, Ohio, says that
the Amalgamated Association claims to
have induced $50 of the skilled men at
the Bellaire work of the National Steel
company to join the association. These
men will, 1t is claimed, go out to-day,
and the plaM cannot be operated without
them.
Paymaster George Falkenstein of the
Devices Wood plant gave out the following
statement to-day:
I'VE are now engaged in dismantling
the Devices Wood plant. About 15O men
are now engaged in uncoupling and ear
ing down the machinery. The removal OF
the plant to the Kiskiminetas valley will
require some 500 cars. All the men will
be paid off to-day and the of1ce force
will be notified that after two weeks
their services will not be required The
employees who will accompany the mill
to it's new home will be determined by
superintendent Cooper within a few
days"
More Mills to Be Moved.
The officials of the American Tin Plate
company announced to-day that they will
dismantle and remove to Monessen GER
tain of their mills tied up by the strike.
An official statement given by William
Leeds follows:
Since the relations between the Amer
lean Tin Plate company and the workmen
at Monessen have been mutually satisfac-
tory, insuring steady and profitable opera
tion, 1T has been determined to more than
double the plant at that point, and some
or the mills now idle on account of the
strike declared in violation of the con-
tract signed by the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, will be dismantIed and removed
to Monessen. Undoubtedly this will be-
done in the case of the works in which the
sentiment of the employees delays the re-
sumption of work"
1t is understood that the new MonesseR
plant will be made one of the largest
operated by the company. The official an
nouncement from Mr.. Leeds, made on the
heels of the order to dismantle and re-
move the Devices Wood plant at McKees~
port, created a profound impression here,
BenwOod Strike story Denied.
The advices received here by the steel
officials from Wheeling conflict with the
earlier reports received from there as to

wood They deny that the men struck this
morning and insist that everything IL
quiet at the plant.

for labor but to battle for the cause Of
unioniSm. Mr.. Gompers says the steel
combine insisted that the scale apply only
to mills that were union last year, and
would not allow the extension OF the union
to non-unionists. Then he says:
Now, any one at all familiar with Industrial
development and economic organization, is
aware that organized labor advances or re-
cedes, never stands still Il therefore foIlowa
that If the trust, by its great wealth. can

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 10.-At a meet
ing of the Amalgamated carpenters last
evening it was decided to indorse the ac-
tion of the strikers and all members have
quit work. The other local union has
come to a similar decision and Winnipeg,
with buildings uncompleted to the value
of nearly $1,250, ,0O0 is almost without a
good carpenter working
The strikers demand an increase from
271s cents to 40 cents an hour. Several
leading builders are willing to grant the
increase and blame the small contractors
for cutting wages and prices.
The men will remain out until the ma
jority of the builders agree to an in

Since his release from duty Dimmick
has been under surveillance OF secret
service men, who have probed into every
detail of his private life. Dimmick was
one OF the four persons known to have had
access to the vault. In a memorandum
