United States Steel Corporation to
Increase Wages of 100000
Men Ten Per Cent

Pittsburg, June 2S.-The largest vol
untary increase ever known in the
wages of 100000 men has been decided
upon by the United States Steel cor
poration. They will receive an ad-
vance of ten per cent, which will in
crease the annual payroll of the steel
corporation by $4,oOO,00O. The adj
vance applies to union as well as to
nonunion men. Strictly speaking, the
advance applies to nontonnnage men
of every constituent company of the
corporation. This decision has just
been reached by the executive COM
mittee of the United States Steel cor
poration after numerous conferences
with the highest officials of the under
lying concerns. Workmen working
under a private scale will be debarred
from the advance, as we'll as coal min
ers, coke workers, rod men and tube

bravest men that ever lived, is being

she began.
The Girl Philosopher took up the
words dramatically:
with shows, sports, bonfires and IL
luminations!" she quoted.
Some street children who had gath
cred around the hurdy-gurdy, caught
the word bonfire. In a few minutes a
little conhagration had been started
near the curb. Childish voices were
raised excitedly.
"You'se g'long!" a small voice was
saying to dirty-faced, black-eyed
urchin who had climbed down from
the hurdy-gurdy to witness the fire.
"You'se a dago, and we'se celebratin'

Diago means without dagos, and

"Rah fer Dewey!" piped another
childish treble.
BY this time a crowd was gathering,
and fat man who had been listening
from neighboring porch, shouted:
Three cheers for the red, white and
blue! Now, then, kids, all together!"
The cheering was contagious. The
hurdy-gurdy man began playing "The
Star-Spangled Banner" A policeman
who had just come around the corner
to preserve law and order, swung his
club Imply, and there was broad
grin on his face.
Lets all celebrated" cried the
Gloomy Spinster, much exercised, and,
gathering her stiff black skirts in both
hands, she ran out to join the children
and the crowd.
"Long live the spirit of Washington"
called the Girl Philosopher, following
closely. First in war"
The entire block, which seemed to
be sitting on it's front porch, took up
the cry, and to the accompaniment of
the children's shutting feet, a sing
song chant went up:
"First in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen!

The Spinster named another hero,

REBELS VICTORIOUS.
Venezuelan Troops Are ROuted-Vice
President of the Republic
Taken Prisoner

Williamstad, Island of Curacao, June
26.-Advices received here from Vene-
zuela, under date of June 20, say Pres
ident Castro recently tried to occupy
LaVela ION the Gulf of Coro). He sent
Gen. Colmenares with large force
of troops to attack the town by sea,
hoping that Gen. Ayala would assist
by land, and catch the revolutionists
whO are there commanded by Gen. Ri

tween two fires. But for unknown rea-
sons there was no assistance by land,
and Gen. Colmenares, after three
hours fighting, was compelled to re-
embark his troops and abandon the
attack.
During the morning of June 20, Gen.
Riera left LaVela and with 500 men at
tackled Coro, the capital of the state
of Falcon, nine miles distant. After
five hours battle, Gen. Ayala, first vice
president of the republic and command

Names of Recipients of Coronation
Titles Made Public in
London.

London, June 26.-The coronation
honors, by the special command of
King Edward, are made public in the
Official Gazette. Among the recipi-
ents is Sir Thomas Upton, who is
made a baronet. Robert Bond, the
premier of Newfoundland, and the
Earl of Mimic, governor general of
Canada, are made privy councillors.
Charles Wyndham, the actor, is made
knight. One notable feature is the
creation of the Order of Merit, which
is acceptable to such men as George
Watts and John Morley, who declined
the honors previously in the sover-
eign's power to offer them. The new
order conveys neither title nor prece-
dence, and it's value will lie in the in
trinsic merits of it's recipients.

satisfactorily a fiscal year which, owing to
smaller crop yields, gave little promise at
its opening. No ground appears to have
been lost, but on the contrary distinct gains
over the best of previous years have been
noted in many lines. Profits may have been
smaller, but the volume of trade turned
over has about made up for this. Export
trade in agricultural products is one of the
few lines to suffer in comparison with pre-
vious years. Unseasonably cool weather
is drawback to immediate retail distrf-
button and arrests the progressed the corn
crop east and west. Confidence in the out
look, however, is evidenced by the contin-
ued heavy buying for fall delivery noted in
the great grain growing sections of the
west. This is also reflected by the continued
large increases in railway earnings over
the best results of previous years, except
where, as in the case of the coal roads, dis
tribution is paralyZed by the wholesale
shutdown of production and consumption.
Aside from this single exception, however,
the general industrial situation has rather
improved"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Review
of Trade, say: Agricultural prospects are
far above the average and rapid progress
is made with winter wheat harvesting. De-
lays have been encountered from heavy
rain, while injury has occurred in the
southwest from drought, but these adverse
influences are less extensive than usual
Wide differences between cash prices and

FOURTH Of JULY

TT WAS the fouth evening of July,

Young Woman, ~'Miss Columbia, of the

''Treason!" admonished the Philos-

from the step and looked as if she were
going to make the famous Fitzsimmons
shift.

of positive statement by the admiral
to the effect that the city had been
surrendered to him at the time when
the Spanish fleet was sunk and
that when the city did surrender it

Presently some college boys sang
out: "What's the matter with the
Fourth of 1898? What's the matter with
Schley?"
The answer came from a hundred
voices now: Hes all right"

cheering.

enough to remember patriotism,

Girl Philosopher laughed.

all about it in my history. They died
on the Fourth of July, and that's why
everything is always so still, and we
have flags around and everybody goes

'Class in history, Al" Knocked the
Philosopher, from her vantage in

the Gloomy Spinster, grew somewhat

the Fluffy-Haired Girl. 81 can't"
The Gloomy Spinster Strengthened
her glasses with a forbidding gesture.
"Young ladies'" she said, II am not

to encourage such frivolity; but if any

honored revolutionary heroes, I'll treat
you to that abominable stuff called Ice
