Pittsburg, Pa. (SpeciaD The great
steel strike is on. The order to strike
was generally obeyed wherever the
workers were organized and enrolled
in the lodges OF the Amalgamated Asso-
citation.
The policy OF the American Fedora
tion OF Labor has not yet been fully
disclosed and that fact contributes an
other element OF uncertainty to the sit
uation. The action OF the executive
board OF the Mineworkers at Indian
apolis, in resolving TO support the
strike, cheered the Amalgamated men
and they are confident that the Fedora
ton will aid thei1 to the fullest extent.
The closing hours OF labor and the
opening hours OF the strike lacked
spectacular action. This city, which is
the strike centre, was calm and undis-
turbed. There was no excitement or
violence and the pulse OF the commun-
ity was normal.
The police officials issued an order
suspending for the time being the va
cation system. They do not anticipate
trouble but want to have every man
here and ready for duty in case it
should come They say that President
Shaffer has counseled peaceful methods
and that they hope the strikers and
their sympathizers will heed his advice.
The strikers held series of demon
strations in the outlying towns, and
President Shaffer spoke final word OF
encouragement TO his industrial troops.
Great throngs OF workers turned out
to greet and cheer the leader and ex-
change pledges to maintain the contest

New Orleans, La. (SpeciaD What
is regarded as an attempt OF a Boer
sympathizer to blow up a British trans
port occurred shortly after midnight
when there was a terrific explosion 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 foy
some distance around. Most OF the
crew OF the ship were asleep, but the
explosion brought them quickly from
their berths to the deck An examina-
ton showed a large dent in the star
board side OF the ship. Two plates al
the waters edge had been sprung and
considerable water was let into the ship
Pumps were Immediately put to worN
and when daylight came it was found
the vessel was in no danger Of sinking
and that the damage done was nc; sc-i-
Gus. The crew OF the vessel denied that
there was any explosives on board, ard
there seems little doubt, according 10
the statements OF those who eXardacd
the ship. that the explosion was from
the outside and that some sort OF bomb
or torpedo had been used.
Alfred Leblanc, general agent OF
the Harrison Line, visited the Mcchap,-
clan and report OF the damage Gonc
was submitted to him. He said tin &c
large plates on the starboard >lds 1i the
boat had been stove in and 10 riyets
had been broken off or knocked con-
pletely from their places. As The ship
was making considerable water it was
decided to shift the ballast so as to lit
the damaged section out oi the water.
1t is thought the damage can lie repGr-
ed here Agent Leblanc SAID the Me
chanician will be loaded with cargo
OF mules and get away for ,,outh Africa
as soon as possible.
A British officer, who was on the ship
said the explosion was terrific, and that
column OF water went high up in the
air and came down on deck.
Many OF the muleteers. who have
from time to time lett the city on the
British transports, have returned with
complaints OF i'll treatment, and num-
Der OF suits are now pending against
British ships in the Federal courts.
