HE'S WORKING THROUGH OTHERS
FOR NEW UNION CONDITIONS.
That Means RepudiAting the Existing
Contract with the EmpaOyers-Union

lied Delegates' Board May Disintegrate


Talk of making the fight Of Sam Parks's
Housesmiths' Union a national affair was
renewed yesterday It was learned that
while the reputation by the Kansas City
convention of the agreement with tho
National Association Of Structural Iron
Manufacturers was ostensibly on the ground
that the building shutdown was violation
of the agreement, the chief reason was
that the iron workers might be free to de-
mand new agreement. The union here
is to vote on the question Of reputation.
Parks went yesterday to Continental
Hall, where the Board Of Building Trades
meets, but did not attend the meeting.
He sat in room talking with the other
three walking delegates OF his union
Il guess fooled the papers when got
back" said he to sun reporter, "ihey

100000 FOR ARMOR PLATE.
Moody Practically Decides 10 Divide tho
Contract Among the Three bidders.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-More than 81 900 900
Is involved In a contract for armor plate
which Secretary Of the Navy Moody will
award in very short time. Three great in
dustrial concerns. the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, the Bethlehem Steel Company, and
the Midvale Steel Company, all Of Penn
sylvana, are interested. The Midvale COM
pany submitted lower bids than the other
firms, which heretofore have had mo-
nopoly In furnishing armor to the navy.
Secretary Moody has virtually decided
to divide the contract among the three
companies. On account OF Its lower bid,
the Midvale company would ordinarily
have received the entire contract but for
the fact that it has never made heavy
armor and would have to construct an
mor-making plant before being able to
begin work on the contract.
The amount Of arnlor bid for was 18, 500
tons, needed for five battleships. The
Carnegie and Bethlehem companies sub
mitted identical bids at their regular prices.
THESE companies require that royalties
shall be paid by the Government for the use
Of the Krupp and the Harvey processes OF
hardening armor. The Midvale company
agreed to pay the royalties itself.
1t Ia estimated that the Midvale COM
pany's bids range from 81 to $22 ton
less than the identical bids of the other
companies on armor Of similar classes,
and that the Midvale bids aggregate 500 900
less than the bids Of either Of the other
concerns

OPEN DOOR IN MANCHURIA.
OUR TREATY WITH CHINA TO BE
SIGNED TO-DAY.

10 10 Also the Day That Russia AGfeeu 10
EvaCuate the PPovince-Ir Russia Falls
to DO This tho United states Will
Demand Commercial Rights In Nam
churia Equal to Those or Russia.
WASHINGTON, Oct. THE commercial
treaty between the United States and China,
the negotiation OF which was surrounded
by many matters OF the greatest political
Importance. will DO signed at Shanghai
tomorrow. Under the terms of the treaty
the rich Chinese Province Of Manchuria
will DO opened to foreign trade, thus Civ
ing to all other nations q share in the
commercial advantages which Russia now
controls through her military occupation
Of the Province,
Tomorrow Is also important in bringing
the date upon which Russia, according to
her written assurances to the United States
and other nations, Is to evacuate Manchuria,
thus restoring 1t to the administration OF
China. Whether Russia will carry out
these assurances II a question that is caus-
Ing some anxiety In several capitals. Upon
the course pursued by her will depend
matters OF the greatest interest and i'm
portanoe.
The unexpected return here to-day Of
Secretary Hay. who was understood to
have intended staying at his summer home
in New Hampshire until the end OF the
month, Is regarded as having a bearing
upon the situation in Manohuria. While
Mr.. Hay was away the Russian Govern
ment suggested to China that the evac,ia-
churia should be postponed four months
from Oct. 8, and that the evacuation OF the
third or northernmost military zone, adj
joining the Siberian frontier, be postponed
until year from that date.
The Chinese Government promptly fur
nished Mr.. Conger, the United States Minis
ter at Pekin. with a copy Of the Russian
suggestions. and Mr.. Conger transmitted
them by cable to the State Department.
Il was at first supposed that this Govern
ment would protest against the Russian
proposals, holding that the assurances
given that Manchuria would be evacuated
BY Russian troops on Oct. 8 We're pledges
tanned on Manchurian soil beyond that
date But otter consultation. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay have decided
to make no representations whatever on
the subject to Russia, as long as there Is
no interference with American interests
in Manchuria by the Russian authorities
there.
The Administration holds that Russia
is under a solemn obligation to take her
troops out Of Manohulia by. tomorrow,
or at least that the general evacuation
shall be begun then. A failure to do this
will condemn Russia, It is maintained,
as unworthy OF belief and as deserving
the condemnation Of all decent Govern
ments
The Government has fully determined,
however, that, should Manolnlria be an
ne1ed by Russia, 1t viii insist and 60 to the
freedom OF American trade In Manohuria,
granted by the commercial treaty to be
signed tomorrow. must be permitted
unrestricted. In other words, the Unit ed
States Government Win demand that with
Manohuria a Russian political possession
or under Russian control, our commercial
rights IN the Province shall be equal to those
of Russia.

PINCHED THE TIGER.
A Lady's Servant Attacked by Mischiev.
Gus Boys In Wall Street.

A lot Of excitement was furnished in the
Wall Street district early yesterday after
noon by an attack which was made by
crowd Of boys and junior clerks upon
smartly liveried coachman and tiger
who were In charge of a closed carriage
that drove up to tho Broad street entrance
to the Mills Building. The diminutive
size Of the tiger attracted the attention of
the boys, and they started in to have fun
with him. They slapped his legs. which
were tightly encased in white brooches.
The coachman jumped from his seat on
the box after he had attempted to beat or
the crowd with the butt end OF his whip.
and, making for the biggest Of the tor
mentors, started In with his fists and licked
him. Several members Of the Stock
Exchange cheered the fight from the little
balconies that surround tho Exchange
windows.
The carriage was driven around to tho
Wall street entrance TO the Mills Building
and young woman who had been in the
building managed to reach 1t. 1t was then
driven away rapidly. It was reported,
but denied, that this young woman Il an
actress. Her identity could not be learned.
The same turnout visited the Wall Street
district on Tuesday, and at that time there
was somewhat similar occurrence. at the
corner Of Nassau and Pine streets. A
crowd Of messenger boys then started in
to torment tho little tiger.

ALASKAN ARGUMENT NEAR END
JUDGE DICKINSON CLOSES FOR
UNCLE SAM TO-DAY.
Impression That the Tribunal Won't be
Long Before Reaching . Decision on
the Boundary Observation-Disclosures
Working Hard Over Lord AlverstOno.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Oct, AT to-days session OF
the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, Judge
Dickinson Of American counsel stated that
he would conclude his argument Tomorrow.
This will bring the oral arguments In the
case to a conclusion within the original
date fixed, which was Dot. Q.
Lord Alverstone suggested to his fellow
commissioners that upon the conclusion OF
Judge Dickinsons argument the tribunal
retire to the Cabinet room, where the real
work of arriving at q decision will be begun.
While it Is impossible to state the time that
may be necessary to reach an understanding
on all sides, there is an impression prev
alent that 1t will not be long. AL the mem
bers of the tribunal have thoroughly
grasped the minute question In dispute.
There is current superstition that when
the commissioners retire, Lord Alverst one,
upon whom both Canadian and Ameri-
cans agree the final decision will finally
rest, will have made up his mind. He Of
all the men in the tribunal shows the utmost
familiarity with every detail of the case.
What position Lord Alverstone will take
no one is able to say. 1t Ia interesting to
note that since the end Of the arguments
have drawn near, the Canadian commits
sioners and Lord Averstons have held long
conferences after adjournment of the
tribunal, particularly in the last few days.
Among some OF the Americans this led to
the report that the Canadians were trying
to bolster Alverstone.'
During to-days session frequent COM
pliments were made by the Canadians
and Americans on. the mastery argument
of Judge Dickinson. In presenting the
American case he handled the various Ques-
tons tersely, and clearly. and 1t Is not dis
puted that the United States contentious
will be materially strengthened by his
address. He devoted to-days argument
to the controversy over the hsiere. He
emphasized tho points that had already
been printed In the briefs. He laid par
ticular stress upon the fact that the United
States had been in undisputed possession
Of tho iisiere. He introduced British official
maps to support the United States conten-
ton that she was entitled to the heads of
inlets. He asserted that Great Britain
never had any rights to the disputed terri
tory; that she recognized this and that
otherwise at the time Of the purchase of
Alaska by the United States she would have
held the position of unfairly allowing the
United States to buy something which be-
longed to Great Britain which Russia had
no right to sell.
Among those present at to-day's session
were Mr.. Mccormick, the American Am
bassador at st. Petersburg: MIR. Choate,
the Ambassador at London, and Nine.
Albani.

that he had never been introduced to him.
p. w. Hughes, a millhand and his SON
in-law, Angus Blalock, swore that. with
| several others, they met Gonzales on the
street during the campaign. Gonzales in
| quired about the mill vote in Columbia,
One Of the party replied that most OF it
would 20 to Tillman. Hughes asked Con
zales II he did not think he had done Tillman
great injustice and Gonzales said he might
| do him greater injustice after the election
with lead" Hughes admitted that he
had been tried and acquitted in the United
States court for Illicit liquor selling.
A. j. Flowers, formerly street car con-
| ductor in Columbia, swore that he over
heard Gonzales say in street car last
summer that Tillman would not be seated
| If elected Governor; that he would kill him,
| If necessary to prevent it,
v B. Cheshire. a printer and ex-soldier
Of Tnlman's regiment, swore that Walter
| Geer, subscription agent of the STATE, told
