BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT
STEEL WORKERS BELIEVE THEY
WILL UNIONIZE TRUST MILLS.
Combine Officials Expect Negotia
tions to Be Renewed Tie Strike
Making Little Headway Yet.
PITTSBURG, July 2. There is Utile
Change tonight In the strike situation of
the sheet and hoop mills of the United
States Steel Corporation. The officials of
the Amalgamated Association continue to
express themselves as confident of a suc
cessful outcome of the strike, and that
the nonunion mills of both the sheet steel
and steel hoop combine will become union,
fzed during the Summer. The union men
claim tha they have several promises
from the men in the nonunion mills to
walk out as soon as It becomes necessary.
Thus far, however, none have gone out,
but all the union men have quit work.
-President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association, declares that not only will
the sheet and hoop combine have to come
to time, but the plants of the American
Steel & Wire Company will be forced into
the union, though at present these mills
-are outside of the union.
As President Shaffer remarked, the con
ditions of the present strike are peculiar,
and no derided results are expected for
10 days pr two weeks. 8y that time the
manufacturers, having all necessary re
pairs at their mills completed, will be
anxious to resume operation. The strug
gle will then begin in earnest The belief is
quite general, however, that the real test
will not begin until the close of the hot
weather and the general resumption of
business in the early Fall, and In the
meantime it is thought that the conflict
ing interests will see thfeir way clear to
recede from the present positions. The as
sociation has for years been creating a
strike fund, and it is said now to amount
to between $200,000 and $300,000.
The combin" officials do not appear to
be worrying over tne situation. Some of
them intimate that there may be a re
newal of negotiations at any time and a
settlement effected. In outside circles the
"belief is" growing that the strike Tvill be
called off before It gets fairly, well under
way.
Outside the combine plants there is little
apprehensl&n over the situation. Among
the independent companies in Pittsburg
who have closed down, but who are ready
to sign are: Zug & Co., Limited; the Pitts
burg Forge & Iron Company, A. M. Byers
& Co. and Brown & Co.
The announcement today that the sheet
combination had cut prices occabloned
surprise, as it is known that all the mills
have been busy, and many orders remain
unfilled. The heaviest cut is on No. 28,
the standard gauge, which is reduced from
53 85 per 100 pounds to $3 10. The lighter
gauges have been cut In price from Jl to
43 a ton The move puzzled the Amal
gamated officials, and President Shaffer
said:
"It has been done merely for the pur
pose of having an effect on the independ
ent sheet manufacturers who have signed
our scale "
The advisory board of the Amalgamated
Association has not yet been called to
meet to consider the situation, but a
meeting will "be held soon if the American
Sheet Steel Company shows no disposition
to reopen negotiations. President Shaffer
says the call for another conference will
net come from the Amalgamated Asso
ciation, as the ultimatum of that organi
zation was given at the last conference.
PENDING STRIKE IS OFF.
Shop Hands Agree to President
Baer' Term.
PHILADELPHIA. July 2.-Presldent
George F. Baer, of the Philadelphia &
Heading Railway Company, has given out
the following signed statement:
"The Reading Railway strike has been
settled upon the following basis: The men
to return to work at once just as they
were before they went out; the men to
be restored to the Philadelphia & Read
ing Relief Association with like effect as
though they had not left the employ of
the company; the labor union not to be
Tecognlzed. We will employ" any one
we please, and no distinction will be made
between union and nonunion men.
"After the men have returned to work
a committee of the shops, representing all
the workmen, can be appointed by our
employes. We will appoint a committee
composed of superintendents and foremen
of the shops to meet the workmen's com
mittee, th whole subject of wages to
be considered by this joint committee
with power to agree upon a new scale
' of wages, which shall be, fair and just
both to the men and. the company. These
committees are to begin work as quickly
as they are elected. In case after a rea
sonable effort the joint committee cannot
agree, I will personally meet with the joint
committee and endeavor to adjust the dif
ferences. It is understood that if any
new scale is agreed upon, whenever adopt
ed, it shall be effective July 1, 3901. Trans
portatldn will be given to the committee
to visit any of the shops with a view of
assertalnlng the scale of wages In force
in such shopB."
READING, Pa., July 2. The Reading
Railway striking shop hands today rati
fied the agreement between Chairman
Boschor and President Baer, and it was
decided to return to work on Friday.
Over 1200 men were present at the meet
ing. SAYS THE STRIKE IS WON.
Machinists, According to President
O'Connell. Are Returning to Work.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Presldent
O'Connell Of th Tntprnnflnnrtl Accnnld-
tlon of Machinists, said today that he
regarded the machinists' strike as prac
tically won.
"Even if an order should be issued at
this time directing all men out to return
to work on the old basis, the nine-hour
day would be won. The movement has
been attended with evfery success and In
many respects is the most remarkable
struggle on record. There are now only
000 men out, and agreements are being
signed every day reducing this num
ber. It has not been a strike. It has
been simply a cessation ol work. A
strike, to the mind of the public, means
riot and bloodshed. The machinists have
had none of these. It is trqe there have
been one or two cases of assault, but
these are liable to occur at any time,
and cannot be chargeable to the ma
chinists." The first financial aid to be received
by the machinists since their strike be
gan was accepted today by President
O'Connell In the form of a check for
$5QM from the American Federation of
Eabor.
Negotiations Off at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, July -Negotiations be

hour day schedule, was made. It Is be
lieved the employes also made conces

After a, long, discussion 'of the situation, in
which several balloWwere taken, the de
mands of ths men wee modified to a min

DISORDERS IN MEXICO CITY
Antl-CIerlcal Demonstration by a
Band, of Students.
MEXICO CITY, "July 2. The public
mind is milch excited and the clergy filled
with indignation over the results of the
students' anti-clerical demonstration yes
terday. The students to the number of
SOfl held a public meeting near the statue
of Columbus, on El Paso and Shrive
driveway. Stirring speeches were made,
showing the intense feeling of the young
men and denouncing the recent Immoral
ities of the few priests, who, it was
claimed, have been shielded and not pun
ished. A charge was made that ex-Arch-blshop
Labastlda was a traitor to his
cquntry, while the present archbishop
Alarlef, showed no disposition to punish
recreant priests with that measure of se
verity demanded by the nature of their
offenses.
A company of gendarmes preserved or
der, and the demonstration was witnessed
by Governor Coral, of the Federal dis
trict, and by Chief of Police Viilegas.
The students, accompanied by a great
number of people of different classes,
marched up San Francisco street to the
Church of Santo Domingo, where the
Dominican Fathers officiate. Part of the
crowd entered while the church was filled
with worshipers, mostly women. Shouts
were raised of "Death to the priests,"
"Down with the clergy," and the priests
left the altar and sought refuge in the
sacristy with many of the worshipers.
Women cried and shrieked, but the dis
turbance went no further.
Another part of the crowd entered the
Church of Santa Carlja, arriving during
12 o'clock mass. Windows were broken
and images hurled down. The priests
were dispersed and tlje students made
speeches denouncing the clergy. There
were heard shouts for Father Icaza, whP Is
accused of many misdeeds. The women
present were terrified and the police made
several arrests, but many of the prisoners
Were afterward released. The leaders
among the students had counseled moder
ation and against making a disturbance,
but the mob was apparently bent on show
ing Its feeling toward the clergy. In the
afternoon people assembled for prayer in
the Cathedral and other churches, and to
day the Catholic people are offering
prayer for the enemies of religion. Pre
cautions have been taken to prevent fur
ther trouble, but It Is believed that If
sveral priests who are publicly denounced
in the press are not punished, the young
men may make an attempt to Invade the
temples.
Public opinion is divided as regards the
demonstrations made by the students, but
the Liberals and non-Catholics consider
that the clergy will now be compelled to
demand the expulsion of priests who have
been causing public indignation to reach
fever heat.
"Electra" Is Tabooed.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua. July 2. Bishop
Plerie, of the Roman Catholic Church in
Nicaragua, has issued an order to the
clergy of the country, Instructing them
to inform members of the Roman Catho
lic Chutch in Nicaragua that they shall
not read nor attend performances of the
antl-clerlcal drama, "Electra." This or
der of the bishop has caused consider
able heated comment.

STRUCK? BY LIGHTNING.
Three Men Killed and a Man and
Ttto Boy Injured.
ST. LOUIS, July IA bolt of lightning
Instantly killed three men, fatally Injured
a boy and seriously injured a man and a
boy, members ofa St, Louis fishing party
who had sought refuge from the fierce
storm of this afternoon beneath the shel
ter of a massive sycamore tree on the
bnak of Dead Creek, at Capokla, 111. The
dead are: William Inghauser, 32 years
old; John J. Graff, 18 years, and Louis
Stern, 26 years. Benny Egglin, 13 years
old, was fatally injured, and Joseph Egg
lin, 24 years old, and Albert Leldlnger,
14 years old, were seriously hurt.
The men and boys gathered around a
tall sycamore tree 100 feet from where
they had been fishing. Suddenly the tree
was wrapped with a brilliant light. The
crash which followed was heard for miles.
When the citizens of Capokla discovered
the party they- found three of them dead
and had much difficulty in resuscitating
the others. None ot the bodies was badly
marked, the lightning showing its effects
principally on the feet of each member
of the pary. The point of contact was at
the waist line of each individual, travers
ing the legs in each Instance and escap

CRISIS IN THE BANKS.
Bannermaii 3tay Resign the Leader
ship Next Week.
LONDON, July 3. The crisis in the
ranks of the Liberal party has reached
an acute stage. This fact was publicly
admitted and deplored by Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, the leader ot the
party, in a speech at Southampton to
night. Although the rumors that Sir
Henry had already resigned the leader
ship of the party are premature, a meet
ing has been suddenly convened for next
Tuesday, when It Is expected he will vir
tually offer his resignation. The Imperi
alist section of the Liberals, headed by
Herbert Asqulth, ex-Liberal Home Sec
retary, has been doing Its utmost to enlist
Lord Rosebery on its side, but up to the
present time the latter has made no sign
of meeting its desires." Lord Rosebery
arrived in Vienna from Gatzleirt yester
day, on hl$ way to England. He will ar.
rive 1n London next Friday. Should he
bfe willing to assume the leadership and
support Mr. Asqulth, it is probable the
latter would become party leader In the
House of Commons. It was understood
that Mr. Asqulth would long ago have
been selected as leader of the ,LIberal
party, had he been possessed of ample
means. This financial difficulty will be
surmounted by the resumption of the
leadership by Lord Rosebery.
Sir Henry's speech, which Imputed mo
tives of personal jealousy and antipathy
to the Imperialist Liberals, seems calcu
lated to Increase rather than allay the
dissensions. The Daily Chronicle, how
ever, which represents the Asqulth sec
tion, predicts that the forthcoming meet
ing will adopt a vote of confidence In Sir,
Henry, and declares that the Liberals
must agree to differ on the subject of
the- South African War.

, NEW TORK, July 2, Jules Camtoon, the French Antts&ssaaor to the United
States, has Just completed a trip through tht stati borderlnfc Oft the Qfeiit
Lakes, sayfi a Herald dispatch from Washington, and he speaks about his experi
ences and observations on his return with mtlcll enthusiasm.
"Wherever I went," eaid M. Cambbh, "I -nas impressed .lth the spirit of
progress that was manifest. These Western people are not accurately judged by
their fellow-countrymen of the East. The East, I think, holds itself above the
West and feels the West is not qult its eaual in learning, enterprise 6r if I
may be permitted good manners. N6w, I think th contrary. I found the Chi
cago society very polished and agreeable. In Iho homes in the ilorthfcfn part of
the city I found most artistic and musical development. I found this also true
of thp other cities I visited. Two things as a result of my trip are fixed in my
mind first, the wonderful, the magical development of the Inland states, and, sec
ond, the fact that wherever I hav e gone 1 have met with friends of Franca and
a multitude of men and women engrafted on the American soil with French
blood In their veins. If I were asked to make a prediction as to whera the
center of influence of the country would be years from now, I would point to
that region through which I have just passed, extending from Pennsylvania on the
east to the Mississippi on the west. It is the heart of the country. Over all this
region, destined for much greatness, the French have left their Impression. It is
far deeper than I had supposed, and this is particularly true of the Valley of the
Mississippi."

OPERATIONS IN CHINA.
Looting by Enroneans and Outrages
by Natives.
NEW YORK. July 2. This extract Is
made by the Washington correspondent of
thfc World from d review of the military
operations in China, now "being prepared
by the bureau of military information at
the War Department.
"Looting and pillaging ot the city (Tien
Tsln) mostly by natives-but joined in by
many Europeans, was on the first day
entirely unrestricted r later tile allied com.
manders, as soon as attention could be
given to It, adopted severe repressive
measures to put a stop -to It and the scan
dal waa soon discontinued. The Japa
nese, on account ot the admirable disci
pline under which their soldiers are held,
are said to have done the least looting.
Strict orders -from otlr officers and Ameri
can training and instinct prevented our
men fronrngaging in this orgy of thiev
ing and 6utrag"e."
The 'foregoing reference is based upon
reports from American officers. The
American soldiery are criticised freely-In
the review. For efficiency and fighting
they are held to" be the equal of any and
superior to many. The fault foUrid with
the American soldiers Is their "slovenly
appearance off duty." .
An interesting, yet grewsome feature ot
the volume treats ot outrages on mission
aries. Captain Hutchison, of the Sixth
Cavalry In reporting on the Pao Ting FU
expeditlorti tcites the experience of Miss
Gbul'd and Mips Morrell of the American
Mission Board. They were taken from a
compound, the shock to Miss Gould caus
ing her to sink into a comatose condition.
She was accordingly bound hand and foot
and strung to a pole or lance asjigs are
carried in China, siys the Captain's
report, and taken to the city. Miss Mor
rell, being & fedrless Woman of consider
able strength, was able to walk and did
so. In this manner Miss Gould being car
ried and Miss Morrell walking, but being
led by the hair, they were taken to Chla
hengan Temple. En route the street was
thronged with people, many of whom
clutched and tore the clothing off the
women.
This pathetic incident la told by the
Captain In connection with the conduct of
a party of missldfiaries taken out of the
city by Boxers. Their hands were bourtd.
A little child belonging to one of the wom

Occupation of Manchnrla.
LONDON, July 2.-A dispatch from Pe

Tho Installation by Russia, of a

Manchuria, has aa,ln made prominent the
question of occupation ot that provlnco
by the Russians. Some of the powers

doubtful as to the course to be followed
in the matter, and are awaiting Instruc

Among thosa Uhus awaiting Instructions
