Diss sreement Between Ohio Steel
Workers and Employers Laid
Before Roosevelt.

Washington, Dec. 3. - President
Roosevelt Friday informed delega-
ton representing the Amalgamated
Plate Workers that he saw no way by
which he properly or legally could
interfere to bring about settlement
of the strike of the union employees
of the Carnegie Steel company, OF
Youngstown and Girard, O. The COM
pany is one of the constituent corpora
tons of the United States Steel COM
pany. The strike of the Amalga-
mated employees of the company has
been in progress since early last sum-
mer, and has been accompanied by
considerable violence at times. 1t in
wolves directly about 700 men at
Youngstown and 200 at Girard. Sew
eral hundred others have been thrown
out Of employment by the strike of
the union men.
President Shaffer, of the Amalga-
mated, was requested by the striking
men to lay the matter before the pres
ident in the hope that he might be
able to suggest a means of adjust
ment. Mr.. Shaffer was presented to
President Roosevelt by representative
Elect Aubrey Thomas, of Ohio who
also introduced to the president David
Evans, organizer of the Amalgamated
association at Youngstown.
The situation was discussed in de-
tail, the president expressing his re-
greet that the differences between the
men and the employing company ap-
parently were not susceptible of
amicable adjustment He said, how
ever, that he had no authority which
would warrant him to interfere in
the trouble, glad as he would be to
see a settlement of the strike.
Mr.. Shaffer and Mr.. Evans expressed
| appreciation of President Roosevelt's
| interest. though they regretted that
| he was unable to assist them prac-
| tically. They said they understood
the presidents position, and had no
way to suggest to him to help them.
| They will return home at once and re-
port officially to the strikers the re-
suit of. their visit Neither President
Shaffer nor Mr.. Evans would attempt
to forecast the result of the strike.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 3. Dispatches
received at Mukden Friday say that
Gen. Rennenkampff's force November
80 drove the Japanese out of a new
position southwark Of Tsinkhetchen.
Che fighting was short and sharp. The
Japanese burned their supply depots
in three villages and retreated pur-
sued by Cossacks as far as the Taitse
river. The japanese losses were
about so killed and 100 wounded. The
Cossacks destroyed a Japanese tele-
graph line and occupied the village
of Suirun, about seven and one-half
miles southeast of Tsinkhetchen.
Gen. Sakharoff reports that Rus
sian accommodating force attacked the
Japanese who were entrenched at
Lamatun at nightfall, November 80, and
drove them out at the point of the
bayonet, pursuing them as far as the
Shakhe river. About Is Japanese
were bayoneted. The Russians Sc
cured many rifles and equipment. The
Russians obtained similar success on
the right wing. Their losses in both

New York, Dec. 3.-"Powerful aid

This statement was made Friday by
George Ryall, Of local counsel for
Herbert D. Newton, IN discussing the

nounced that they wefe satisfied that
their claim would be settled.
Said to Have Lost in Bucketshops.
Considerable interest was aroused
Friday by statement credited to a
Cleveland attorney to the effect that
Mrs. Chadwick lost large sums of
money through bucketshops. An
other statement made in connection
with the case was that number of
years ago Mrs. Chadwick borrowed
from Mrs. Schenley, the English wom-
an who died several years ago, pos
sessed many million dollars worth
of property in Pittsburg. it is said
that notes for various sums made by
Mrs. Chadwick were found among Mrs.
Schenley's papers after her. death.
Advices from Pittsburg declare there
is no truth in the story.
Declare All Claims Will Be Paid.
While it has been officially an
nounced that the claim of one Of her
largest creditors-the one whose suit
brought about all the publicity given
her affairs be satisfactorily
settled, there is no diminution of in
terest in the case of Mrs. Chadwick.
The claim of Herbert B. Newton, the
Brookline (Mass.) man, for nearly
100000, which apparently has been
removed from further consideration,
according to statement of Mrs.
Chadwick's attorneys, was only an in
cident Other claims still pending are
known to aggregate four times that
amount, they say, and, for all they
know, may total 100 times the sum
named by Newton. Many of the
claims against her, the attorneys say,
have no basis in fact, and at the
proper time the claims will be shown
to be fraudulent. That all the just
debts will be met they still maintain,
and at the same time make the an
nouncement that Mrs. Chadwick will
have millions left when all her cred
itors have been satisfied.
