SETTLEMENT OFFERED.
The Irish Nationalist Support Is Now
at a High Figure.

London. Sept. 21.-The following aues-
ton of the support of the Nationalist par
ty fer the new fiscal policy of retaliation
is said to be the subject of negotiations
between the government and the Irish
leaders.
1t is reported that Chief Irish Secretary
Wyndham is Offering a concession in the
shape of a Roman Catholic college at
Dublin. while the Nationalist on the
other hand are demanding a measure of
local self-government as the price of their
support.
Whether or not these statements are
we'll founded it appears clear that the
Natlonalists intend to use the cabinet cri-
sis a lever.
William O'Brien. NJ. p, speaking at
Cork. tonight. declared unequivocally that
both of the English parties were broken
and the solid Irish party would meet
which ever came out on top. The future
aim of the Irish party. he said. was Ire
land Nation. and they' intended TO
adopt a position of Independence and hold
their hands until it was discovered from
whom the best terms could be obtained.
The means which secured the abolition OF
landlordism. declared the Irish leader,
could asily on the same lines achieve
home rule.

HAZlNG AT ANNAPOLIS.
Under the Name of Running" the En-
tering Class Still Suffers.

Annapolis, Nd, Sept 21:-The IN
vestigation into the haZing Of Mldship-
man Richard 5. Galloway has gwen
official recognition to what is common
ly known here that haZing is still, gong
on IN full force at the Naval Academy.
The midshipmen deny that there is any
hazing, but they have only changed the
name of the practice to running II
consists chiefly of the use of insulting
and profane language to the under
classmen and compelling them to un-
dergo continuous physical exercises
until exhausted. II is the latter prac-
tice which is sending the boys to sick
quarters.
The hazers are about fifteen midship-
men of the three upper classes who are
deficient in studies and compelled to
forego the regular holiday. So strong
is academic custom that this handful
of the dull men of the upper classes is
hazing the 3l5 youths who compose the
entering class. The officers are trying
to stir the youngsters to manly re
sistance to such an imposition.

NO STRIKE EXPECTED
In the General Steel Trade, Says Sec
John Williams.

Pittsburg Pa. Sept. 21.-Concerning a
rumor in connection with the calling of a
general convention of the ANA lgamated
Association, to the effect that a general
steel strike was not improbable. Secreta-
rY John Williams. this afternoon, made
an emphatic denial.
Such a story" he said, lis monstrous.
We have not even considered the proba-
bility Of a strike"
Persistent rrmors that a special conven-
ton OF the Amelgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers has been called
to consider matters of vital interest to
the organization are in circulation, but
the officers will neither confirm nor deny
the reports. 1t is said that the meeting
will be held in this city sometime this
week.
Among questions for consideration it
is said, is the action of the Iron City
Lodge in refusing to pay dues and the re-
fusal of the National Tube Co, Il suhsl-
larry concern of the United States Steel
Corporation, to recognize the union.
