sHAtFnK READY FOR PEACE.
Strike Leader willing TO Accept Terms
offered Before Trouble Began-Deh
by Tin Plate Corporation.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2s.-Practically
the only significant event in the strike
yesterday was the positive stand
taken by the American Tin Plate COM
pany in reference to its course in the
future. An official statement from
this company denies that there are
any negotiations on foot looking to
settlement of the strike and au-
thorized the statement that mills put
into operation during the strike will
be continued non-union and all men
going to work now will be retained in
their positions. This statement will
have it's effect because of the fact
that the tin plate trade has always
been considered as among the strong
holds of the Amalgamated and the
def appears to have been brought
about by the association declaring q
strike against the tin plate company
after the scale for the year had been
signed.
1t was learned last night that Presi-
dent Shaffer has sent out letters to all
members of the executive committee
of the Amalgamated association in
viting their approval of the peace
plan agreed upon last Saturday by
the representatives Of the National
Civic federation and the Amalgamated
association headquarters officials.

Knight Templar Parade a Magnifi-
cent Spectacle of Life and Color.
Mile After Mile of Tossing Plumes- Teio-
gram from Rear Admiral Schl.y-Order
Now Has I25.1OS Members
Grand Masters Address.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 2s.-A parade
of 10000 plumed knights marching to
the music of threescore brass bands,
Tuesday marked the formal opening
of the twenty-eighth triennial con-
clave of the grand encampment of the
knights Templars. Nearly 100000 Wis
itors are in the city. The day dawned
bright and clear and the sir knights
were early astir. The weather was,
in fact, fulfillment of the wish ex-
pressed in a message of regret from
Rear Admiral Schley, who is Knight
Templar, as follows: "May fair wealth
er and bright skies favor the grand
ceremonies this week. My disappoint-
ment no words can describe, but my
heart is with you." The parade was a
magnificent spectacle of life and color.
Mile after mile of tossing plumes and
auttering pennons, and band after
band discoursing stirring marches
held the crowd of spectators jammed
against the wires till the last knight
left the ranks.
The business session of the con-
clave began Immediately after the pa
rade. The report of Grand Master
Reuben H. Lloyd, submitted to the
grand encampment, contained the
following:
The order is in a most satisfactory and
healthy condition. and steadily growing.
The present term which began July i,
1899, commenced with 114.6i0 members
and closed with 125,10S. Since our last
session, n formal treaty of peace has
been entered into between the United
States and Spain. BY 80 days of actual
warfare. over 100000 of people, occu-
plying more than 100000 square miles OF
the earth's surface. were freed from OPP
preston. Where 1t was dangerous to be
a mason, our order may now securely
spread its humanizing and elevating in
fiuences. The schoolhouse and the lodge
can labor together to brush aside igno-
rance and superstition. and teach the
down-trodden people the blessings Of
civil and religious liberty. We should
indeed feel proud-as we do-that Tenn
plar was the guiding spirit in bringing
about this happy change to many human
beings. The sphere of our usefulness is
