MEANS A CONTINUOUS SCALE
Steel Workers and Employers Reach
an Agreement.

New York, March 6.-After con
ference which lasted for two days the
visiting committee of the Amalga
mated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers and the officials of the Amer
lean Tin Plate Company have reached
an agreement The mills of the com
pany will now be uninterrupted dur
ing the summer months when the an
nual scale of wages is formulated
This, it is declared, means practically
a continuous scale, prevents the mills
of the company from closing and
renders a strike impossible.
The committee also consented, as a
precedent had been established, in ar
ranging a continuous scale with the
Republic Iron and Steel company.
The deal is the greatest that has
ever been effected with capital in the
history of the working people. 1t is
agreed that pending negotiations the
mills shall continue to operate and
the present rate of wages shall b,
paid. The agreement holds good until
July 1, 1903. If any differences arise
or questions regarding hours they will
be discussed at conference.
When asked how many mills ant
men will be affected by the agree
ment Mr.. Shaffer said that it included
every mill in the United States and
over 100000 men.

closed today at 1880 compared with
1880 one week ago. The trade is
governed very largely by weather and
crop conditions. Damage reports are
plentiful from the south and south

difficult to ascertain the facts. The
authorities are substantially agreed
that the crop is in good condition
over the larger part of the area, but
reports of damage in southern Kansas
Oklahoma, Texas, southern Missouri

the wheat market on the strength of
the crop damage reports. Stocks of
wheat in northwest country elevators
decreased 8, 400, 600 bushels during

PRINCE HENRY IMPRESSED.
His Royal Hlghness Pays His Respect.
TO NIAGARA Falls.

Rochester, N. Y, March 6.-Princ.
Henry of Prussia travelled from Chi
cago to Niagara Falls, crossed the
Canadian frontier for a brief stay
during which he was officially wei
coined by the Dominion, and resumed
his journey bound for Boston over the
New York Central line. His Longest
stop in almost 80 hours OF continuous
travelling was at Niagara Falls, which
he saw bridged with ice. He viewed
the Horseshoe falls from Table rock
the American falls from the ledge
over the whirlpool on the Canadian
shore, rode down the gorge to point
below the lower whirlpool and there
inspected the plant OF the Niagara
Power company, which converts the
force of nature to the purposes oil

by the falls and as he stood on Table
rock looking across at the Horseshoe
he said: ct is magnificent; 1t Is
grand" He was much impressed also
by the swirling rapids down in the
gorge and when he left his car at the
whirlpool he stood for several min
utes watching the tumbling OF the
waters.

GOULD NOT SURVIVE.
Man Whose Neck Was Broken Lives
Over a Month.

ALBERT Hamann died at St. Joseph 8
hospital last night as the result of ex-
haustion. He is the man who fell off
from a fence near st. Clair on the night
of Feb. Srd, while under the influence
of liquor, and broke his neck An
effort was made to save him, but it
had no other result than prolonging his
life. Only four cases of recovery are
known out Of three hundred on record,
where injuries of this nature have
been received.
The deceased was forty-two years of
age, single man, and his home was
at Minnesota Lake. He leaves one
brother, Fred, of Mcpherson.
Interment was had at the German
Lutheran cemetery this afternoon.

A Washington dispatch says: There
is a big fight in Waseca county over
the proposed abolition Of the fourth
class postoffices at Alma City and
Vivian. The proposition for abolition
seems to be backed by GAINESVILLE bust
ness interests. Strong petitions have
reached Washington against the pro-
posed move and will be taken care of
by Mr.. Tawney. Rural free delivery
service is to be established through
Alma City and Vivian, which gives
occasion for the move to abolish the
postofices.

pones the Measure.
st. Paul, March 6.-The Jacobson
tax bill, which recently passed the
house, was killed in the senate by a
vote of So to %. This vote was taken
on the motion to substitute the report
of the minority, which provided the
bill should be placed on general or
ders and was the real test of the
strength of the friends of the meas
ure. When it came to vote for the
adoption of the report of the tax com
mittee, recommending indefinite post
ponement, the result was practically
the same.
The house passed the dog tax re.
peal bill, indefinitely postponed the
St. Louis appropriation bill and spent
an hour In the discussion of the pro-
posed constitutional amendments bill.

Porto RIcans Have No Right to Vote
In Hawaii.

Honolulu, Feb. 26.-The question
has been raised here whether Porto
Ricans brought into Hawaii have the
right to vote. About year ago they
were brought here in large numbers
by the plantations, and the Republic
an territorial central committee asked
Attorney General Dole for an opinion
as to whether the Porto Ricans were
citizens and had the right to vote.
Dole rendered an opinion to the effect
that the Porto Ricans would have to
be naturalized as foreigners are be-
fore they could vote in Hawaii. The
act of congress providing a form Of
government for Porto Rico made
them citizens of Porto Rico, while
Hawaiians were made citizens of the
United States, and only citizens of
the United States may vote here.
