NORTHWEST WANTS IT
TRYING TO GET NEXT EDUCATION
AL CONVENTION.
First 5calon of the Association Held
at Detroit National University
Question Debated.
DETROIT, July 9. The bright gowns
and hats of the ladles gave the large audi
torium of the Light Guard Armory the
appearance of a buge animated flower
garden this afternoon and evening at the
first general session of the National Edu
cational Association. Each of the 2000
chairs of the Ilrst floor had an occupant
"when the afternoon session, devoted to
the addresses of welcome and responses,
was called to order, while the large gal
leries were crowded to their capacity. The
same conditions prevailed tonight when
addresses were, read by President Green
and Bishop Spaulding. "The Duty of the
National Educational Association in Shap
ing Public Educational Policy," was the
title of President Green's address. Bishop
John L. Spauldirig, of Peoria, 111., was
given an enthusiastic welcome when be
arose to begin his address on "Progress
In Education."
Five rows of seats, running up one
above the other from the rear of the
etage, were filled with children when the
afternoon session was called to order,
and their clear, young voices, singing out
In a splendid chorus, formally opened the
general session. Governor A. T. Bliss
gave welcome for the state. Superinten
dent of PubHc Instruction Delos Fall, of
Xanslng, followed with a welcome from
16.0W teachers and 80,000 school children.
Mayor Maybury eloquently told the edu
cators that they were welcome to the
city, and President James B. Angell, of
the University of Michigan, followed him.
Mr. Angell was given an ovation.
A meeting of the board of directors was
held in the Temple Bethel today, at which
Treasurer Greenlee submitted his annual
report. It showed total receipts for the
year of $16,555 and expenditures of $16,293.
The board of trustees reported the perma
nent fund of the association as ?S4,40O, in
vested In interest-bearing bonds.The ap
plication of the American Religious Edu.
catlonal Society to affiliate with the Na
tional Educational Association in
Its work of research was laid over
for one year. A committee of 21
was appointed to Investigate the
matter of an educational exhibit
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion to be held at St. Louis. A resolu
tion to appoint funds for a committee of
12 to Investigate the consolidation of rural
schools was referred, to the National
Council of Education, as Is the custom.
Those In charge of the railroad tickets
estimated that at 5 o'clock this afternoon
there were 12,000 to 15,000 members of the
association In the city.
Thus far comparatively little has been
beard about the hotel corridors in regard
to a successor to President Green or
tho next place of meeting. A strong effort
will be made by the delegates from the
far Northwest to secure the next con
vention for their section of the country.
Asbury Park, N. J., St. Louis and Indian
apolis are also applicants.
The National University.
The report of the committee on a Na
tional university submitted to the Na
tional Council of Education this morning
by Dr. William Harper, of Chicago Uni
versity, was the feature of the council's
last session until Thursday afternoon. It
was stated In the reporjt that at one of
Its earlier meetings the committee adopted
the following declarations:
"It has been and Is one of the recog
nized functions of the Federal Govern
ment to encourage and aid, but not to
control the educational Instrumentalities
of tho country. No one of the bills hereto
fore brought before Congress to provide
for the Incorporation of a National uni
versity at Washington commends Itself to
the Judgment of this committee as a prac
ticable measure. The Government Js not
called upon to maintain at the capital a
university In the ordinary sense of the
term."
After referring at length to the various
questions that enter Into the erection of
a National educational Institution, the re
port continued:
"The committee has been advised of a
plan for a non-Governmental Institution
at Washington, which may be able to sup
ply all that Is desired. Thla plan is the
outcome of action taken by the Washing
ton Academy of Sciences and by the
George Washington Memorial Association.
Both organizations have agreed to co
operate to found an institution In the City
of Washington, aa a memorial to George
Washington, which shall be maintained to
promote the advanced study of the sci
ences and the liberal arts.
"Concerning the proposed institution It
Is assumed: That It will be Independent of
Government support or control, as It will
also be Independent of the support or con
trol of existing Institutions; that Its ob
ject will be: (A) To facilitate the use
of scientific and other resources of the
Government for research; (B) To co-operate
with universities, colleges and In
dividuals In securing to properly quali
fied persons opportunities for advanced
study and research now obtainable only
to a limited extent In Washington and not
at all elsewhere: that its oversight and
control will be in the hands of trustees
and officers representing the educational
experience and Ideals of the existing In
stitutions for higher education."
The committee submitted a resolution to
the effect that a plan Is approved for a
non-Governmental institution known as
the Washington Memorial Institution, to
pe maintained In Washington for tho pur
pose of promotlrg the study of science
and the liberal arts at the national cap
ital, and of exercising oversight of the
advanced studies of duly qualified stu
dents In the Governmental laboratories
and collections.
The report resulted In two hours of hot
debate on the subject, which ended by
the adoption of the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the report of the com
mittee be received and the committee be
discharged, and while we express our ap
preciation of their labors, we are not
prepared to abandon the position taken
by the National Education Association In
favor of a National university."
This was adopted by a vote of 22 to 4.
President Baker, of the University of
Colorado, was the first speaker on the
committee's report. He could not un
derstand the process by which the com
mittee arrived at Its decision, and said:
"It looks very much like prearranged
harmony." Continuing, he said: "If we
had a National university? one that was
compelled to keep In touch with the peo
ple of the country and their thought. It
would in a century cure all the evils that
threaten the land at present."
He declared that the presidents of 18
state universities had written him letters
favoring the Nathnal University, and
read letters from General Miles, Ambas
sador White, ex-Senator Edmunds and
John A. Kasson, declaring for Its estab
lishment. After calling thj report a con
temptible thing, he said: "This council
should affirm Its belief in a National uni
versity, and should advise the National
Educational Association to appropriate
money for the best committee that can
be appointed to work for Its establish
ment." President Harper took the platform In
defense of the committee, and said: "The
character of the members should relieve
them from aspersions like those of the
preceding speaker." He denied that there
was any prearranged harmony. After
considerable debate of an acrimonious na
ture. President Swain, of Indianapolis,
moved the question of the resolution,
which was adopted.
Papers on "The Lessons of the Educa
tional Exhibits at the Paris Exposition."
were read by Miss Anna Tolman Smith,
of Washington, D. C, and Howard J.
Rogers, of Albany, N. Y., Miss Smith
Bald:
"As a revelation of National Ideals the
exhibit of the United States made the
most profound Impression It showed an
Inherent principle of unity working on
ward and upward from the kindergarten
to the university. It expressed the deep
conviction of our people that technical or
specialized training should rest upon a
broad basis of general culture. Above
all. It Tevealed the orderly impulses and
rational intentions which give stability
to our National life."
Discussion of these papers was led from
the floor by Louis A. Sodan, of St. Louis.
In the department ofcducatlon the first
speaker was Dr. Al E. wlnshlp, of Boston,
Congressman J. E. Smith, of Michigan,
following with an address of congratula
tion to thq teachers on their work and
commending It.
"The Need of Compulsory Education for
the Indian" was led by Superintendent
George W. Nellls, Sac and Fox Agency,
Iowa; Superintendent H. B. Pears, of 1
Haskell School, Kan.; Superintendent E.
C. Nardin, Mount Pleasant School, Mich.;
all of whom advocated compulsory educa
tion. "OFFERS TO UNDO IT.
Rassls Proposes to Remove Addi
tional DHtlcs on American Goods.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Another Im
portant exchange has occurred between
the Russian Government and the United
States relative to the tariff. The Russian
Minister of Finance has proposed that
Russia will vacate all of the additional
duties levied on American goods since
the imposition of the sugar differential If
the United States will vacate Its action
on the sugar differential. To this, Sec
retary Gage has replied that the offer of
the Russian Government cannot be ac
cepted, as the question of the sugar dif
ferential Is now in the hands of the
courts, thus precluding action by the ex
ecutive branches. These exchanges, al
though made nominally by the Minister
of Finance and Secretary Gage, have
gone through the medium of the Russian
Foreign Office and the State Department.
The proposal of the Russian Minister
of Finance was the direct result of Sec
retary Hay's note of about two weeks
ago. In that note Mr. Hay pointed out
that the action taken as to petroleum
was not new, nor was It meant to have
any connection with previous action of
the Government in sugar. This' appears
to have reconciled the Russian officials
In their view that the petroleum order
was only another step In the policy pre
viously taken respecting sugar. Accord
ingly M. De Wltte's proposal was com
municated to Washington, Count Lams
dorff forwarding it to M. De Wollant, the
Russian Charge here. It Is not long, but
is quite to the point It makes no fur
ther issue as to the petroleum order.
The chief attention Is given to sugar and
the specific offer Is. made to vacate Im
mediately the Increased duties which Rus
sia has levied, if the United States will
vacate Its action on sugar. This would
amount to establishing the status quo.
which existed before the United States
took Its Initial actoln relative to Rus
sia. The Russian proposal was duly com.
munlcated to Secretary Gage, who has
responded promptly that as the sugar
question Is now before the courts, It Is
not possible for him to avail himself of
the Russian suggestions. Thus the mat
ter stands.
The reductions which would have result
ed from M. De Wltte's tender are those
affecting cast iron wares, manufactures
of iron and steel, tools for artisans, fac
tories and workshops; gas and water
meters, motors and dynamos, sewing ma
chines, portable engines, not including
threshing machines; fire engines and oth
r machinery of Iron and steel; also white
resin, galipot, brewrs' pitch and bicy
cles. The increased duties, dn Iron and
steel goods followed after the imposition
of the sugar differential while those on
bicycles and resin followed the Increase
on petroleum. M. De Wltte's proposal
was to take off all of the Increased du
ties. In the course of his letter It Is
stated that the second retaliatory move
on bicycles and resin was not due to the
American action on petroleum, although
It had some part In the original note, but
that It related back to the American ac
tion on sugar. This Is thought to be the
result of Secretary Gage's reply to Rus
sia to the effect that Its action In In
creasing the duty on American bicycles
and resin was a violation of our treaty
with that country.
DR. WHITE WILL RESIGN.
Amliasaador to Germany Will Re
tarn Next Year.
BERLIN. July "Although United
States Ambassador Andrew D. White re
cently denied to the correspondent of the
Associated Press that he Intends to re
sign, the correspondent now learns from
a close personal friend of Mr. White that
he will resign next year upon reaching
his 70th year. Mr. White's decision to re
sign was taken before the news of his
son's suicide reached him, but it Is be
lieved the son's death renders Mr. White's
decision Irrevocable.
Mr. White Is at present staying at Sass
nltz, Island of Ruegen. There he was
personally Inaccessible to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press. Horace
White, of Syracuse, cabled to Secretary
Jackson, early this morning, the news of
the death of Frederick D. White, but did
not say he had committed suicide. The
correspondent, after receiving details of
F. D. White's death, wired to Ambassa
dor White this morning, and has Just re
ceived a reply from Mrs. White, saying:
"Your telegram, fortunately, has not
reached Mr. White. He has no details
as. yet." The correspondent understands
that Mr. White Is greatly shocked and
nervously depressed at the death of his
son. Mrs. White, therefore, fearing the
result upon hor husband, has thus far
withheld the newa that the son had com
mitted sulalde, intending to broak It
gently to Mr. White. Telegrams of sym
pathy are being sent from Berlin to Sass
nltz, pne of the first being by Baron yon
Rltchoffen, the German Foreign Minister.
It was the intention of Mr. White, when
he wont to Sassnitz this Summer, to re
main there during' the entire vacation,
coming to Berlin only if emergencies re
quired his presence.
The SyracHse Snlcide.
SYRACUSE, N Y., July 9.-Coroner

erick D. White's death as a case -of sui
cide due to neurasthenia. The Coroner' b
Investigation of tho manner In which Mr,
White took his life shows that after he
entered the bathroom, standing the rifle
on the floor, he removed the shoe from
his right foot, and placed his mouth over
the barrel. Wltn his great toe be pressed
the trigger and sent a 44-caliber ball
crashing upward through his brain. The
ball came out through the top of the
head. Portions of the brain wore spat
tered on the wall near by.
Venrxaelan Filibusters.
NEW YORK, July 9. Consul-General E.
Gonzales Esteves believes that ex
Presldent Andrade, of Venezuela, came
to this city about three days ago Incog
nito, having shaved off his beard. He
also believes that Andrade came here
from Havana by rail from Florida. Tak
ing this in connection with the presence
in the city of Nicholas Hernandez, a son
of General Jose Manuel Hernandez, who
Is now In jail in Maracalbo, for having
been one of the leaders in- a revolutlqn
against President Caotro; Andreas Pietrl,
a nephew of General Juan Pletri, also
a revolutionist and a friend of Andrade,
and Engel Fernandez, who is said to be
here to buy arms for the Venezuelan
revolutionary party, Consul-General Es
teves thinks that a filibustering expedi
tion is soon to be started for Venezuela.

RALLIES OF ENDEAVORERS
FOURTH DAY OF THE CONFERENCE
AT CINCINNATI.
Blgr Meetings Consolidated Into Two
Gatherings Owing to the Sick
ness of Principal Speakers.
CINCINNATI, July 9. The fourth day
of the conference of the Christian En
deavor Society was a light one, as far
as the programme was concerned, but the
Endeavorers were out en masse at the
two big meetings today. It was another
beautiful day, somewhat hdtter than yes
terday, but not oppressively so. At the
last moment the three big Music Hall
rallies -were concentrated Into two meet
ings, which were held in Auditoriums
Endeavor and Wllllston. This same ar
rangement will probably hold good to
morrow, as five of the prominent speakers
are absent, all being slek. Those not
present are Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman,
Rev. George D. Purves and Rev. Charles
C. Hall, of New York; Rev. John Henry
Barrows, of Oberlln, O., and Rev. F. W.
Gunsaulus, of Chicago.
After the usual quiet hour meetings In
the morning, which open every day's pro
gramme, the big auditoriums were thrown
open for a discussion of the "Twentieth

Century Chureh." Rev. Cannon B. Rich
ardson, of London, Ont., presided at
Auditorium Endeavor. The chief ad
dress was that of Professor Booker T.
Washington, of the Colored Normal
School at Tuskegee, Ahi. He took as his
subject "Tho Power of a Noble Life."
He traced his own career "from that of a
slave and told of his work among the
people of his race.
"I do not believe, in all the history of
the country," he said, "that there has
been such need for strong, unselfifch, pure
and intelligent men who are willing to
sacrifice ambition, position, fortune and
comfort for the welfare of their fellow
men. The noblest lives and the one thing
worth living for Is the opportunity to
make some Individuals more happy, more
useful.'
He made an impassioned appeal for his
people and asked that they be judged by
the best among them and not the low
liest. In Auditorium Wllllston, where Rev.
Allan B. Phllputt, of Indianapolis, pre
sided, a number of addresses limited to
five minutes each were made. Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon, of Topeka, Kan.,
was among the speakers.
Miss Margaret Koch, of Walkerville,
Me., conducted a personal equipment con
ference at the Ninth-street Baptist
Church.
The members of the board of trustees
and other officers of the United Society
gave a banquet to President Clark In
the Grand Hotel at noon. He was pre
sented with a beautiful sliver loving cup
In commemoration of the twentieth an
niversary of the Christian Endeavor. In
the afternoon Dr. Clark attended the
Congregational rally at the Walnut Hill
Congregational Church, where Samuel B.
Capen, of Boston, presented him with an
Immense memorial signed by over 200 of
the leading educators, editors, clergy and
business men in the United States as an
expression of thankfulness and apprecla.
tlon for the work that Dr. Clark has
done In organizing and guiding the Chris
tian Endeavorers.
What was probably the prettiest of the
meetings of the convention was the an
nual Junior rally held In Auditorium En
deavor In the afternoon. Treasurer Wil
liam Shaw, of Boston, wielded the gavel.
Secretary John Willis Baer addressed the
meeting. Then followed numerous exer
cises by the Junior Endeavorers or the
local churches and the children of sev
eral orphan asylums. The children,
dressed in white, filled the immense stage
and made a very pretty picture as they
filed across the length of the footlights
to sing and go through their various evo
lutions. The older Endeavorers spent the after
noon In their respective denominational
meetings, of which there were 26 and
which were held In the various churches
about the city. There were receptions
and rallies at the various state head
quarters and In order to allow the En
deavorers to attend, Music Hall was dark
ened. Tomorrow will be the closing day
of the convention. The German Endeav
orers adjourned their convention tonight,
with services at the Zlon Church.
HOT WEATHER AND CROPS.
"Weather Burean'H Weekly Summary
of Conditions.
WASHINGTON, July 9. The Weather
Bureau's weekly summary of crop condi
tions Is as follows:
The Northern and Central districts of
the Rocky Mountains have experienced
two consecutive weeks of intense heat,
and, while the average dally temperature
excess for the week ending July 8 -was
not quite bo marked as in the previous
week in the central valley. It was more
so in the middle Atlantic Coast districts.
No serious injury to crops from this
period of intense heat Is reported from
the Middle Atlantic States, but from Tex
as northward to Nebraska, including Mis
souri, Arkansas and portions of Illinois,
Kentucky and Tennessee, crops have suf
fered to a greater or less extent. The
weather conditions on the Pacific Coast
and in the plateau regions have been fa-u
vorable. although frosts caused some In
Jury In Utah and Wyoming ori"the 5th.
In Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas
and Arkansas, corn has Jseen seriously
damaged by intense heat and drying
winds, although late corn Is in a fair con
dition. The bulk of the crop In Nebraska
and Iowa has so far escaped injury, ex
cept in a few Southwestern counties in
Nebraska, where corn has been, slightly
injured, while In Southeastern Iowa it is
threatened. In the states of the Ohio
Valley, corn has suffered no Injury from
heat, and has generally made good
growth, but continues in need of cultiva
tion In portions of Ohio and West Vir
ginia. The Winter wheat harvest Is finished In
Kansas, Missouri and in the lower Ohio
Valley, and is In progress In the mere
northerly sections. Rains have Interfered
with the harvest In portions of Ohio and
West Virginia, and reports of Injury by
fly continue from the first-named state,
as well as from portions of Pennsylvania
and New York. On the Pacific Coast,
the harvest has begun In Oregon, and
wheat Is ripening in Washington.
In the Dakotas, Minnesota, Oregon and
Washington, Spring wheat continues gen
erally in promising condition, although
areas in Northern Minnesota have been
flooded and the crop has suffered from
drouth In portions of South Dakota. In
Iowa the excessive heat has probably Im
paired the quality of the. crop by forc
ing it to ripen too rapidly.
The oat crop in the .states of the Up
per Mississippi and Missouri Valleys has
suffered further Injury from Intense "heat,
but in Southern Minnesota and portions
of South Dakota it is in promising- con
dition. In the Ohio Valley and Middle
Atlantic States, the crop has ripened rap
idly under the high temperatures, a fair
to good yield being Indicated fos these
districts.
A large crop of hay Is being secured in
New England and New York, and hay-

lng continues with fair to good results
In the Ohio Valley and Lake region. The
Intense heat has materially reduced the
crop In the Central Mississippi and Lower
Missouri Valleys, but its condition in the
Dakotas Is excellent. Haying weather has
prevailed on the North Pacific Coast with
satisfactory yields, except in Eastern
Oregon.
In the central and western portlojis of
the cotton belt, with the exception of
South Carolina and Florida, cotton Is gen
erally griwlpg and fruiting well. In Ten
nessee and 'westward of the Mississippi
River cotton Is much In need of rain,
especially in the uplands of Texas and
portions of Arkansas. The crop Is gen
erally from one- to two weeks late.
Tobacco has suffered somewhat from
heat In Maryland and Virginia, and Its
growth has been checked by drouth In por
tions of Tennessee and Western Ken
tucky. The general condition of the crop,
however, Is satisfactory. Cutting and
curing continues in South Carolina, and
has begun in North Carolina.
In the states of the Missouri and Cen
tral Mississippi Valleys, apples and other
fruits have been seriously Injured by heat,
and the reports from the districts to the
eastward respecting apples are not en
couraging. ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
Directors Appropriate Five Millions
for Buildings.
ST. LOUIS, July 9. The commission
of architecture, after whose plans and
under whose supervision the buildings of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition will
be erected, met here today at the Plant
ers' Hotel for the first time. Two other
important World's Fair meetings were
held today. One was that of the execu
tive committee, of which President Fran
cis says: "The commission will endeavor
to prepare a definite report, to be sub
mitted to the directors, on the scope of
the fair. This matter is not to be con
fused with the plan of the exposition.
The plan has to do with the arrange
ment of buildings, etc. The scope deter
mines what kind of exhibits will be made.
It will be arranged to have exhibits from
all over the world, of course, but the
word scope Includes the character of
those exhibits."
Following this meeting was one of the
board Of directors. The sum of ?5,000,000
was appropriated for the purpose of con
structing World's Fair buildings. This
action put the company In a position to
have official announcement made by the
Government to the Nations of the world
that the fair 'would be held In St. Louis
In 1903.
RAID ON PARK CHAIRS.
New Yorkers Object to Paying: a Fee
For Seats.
NEW YORK, July 9. The demonstra
tions against the reserved park chairs, for
Lthe use of which a fee Is exacted, was
coniinueo. in laaison-square .farK toaay.
A mob of several hundred took the police
by surprise and began a wholesale de
struction of the chairs at the north end
Of the park. The attendants in charge
were swept from their feet and carried
down with the property. The chairs were
scattered over the pathways and the p
lice reserves were unable to quell the
riot for a time. They charged with drawn
clubs and several men were arrested.
Late tonight Park Commissioner Clau
sen announced that owing to the storm of
opposition which had arisen he would re
voke the privilege granted to place pay
chairs In the park.

HOLLANDER COMING HOME
TREASURER OF PORTO RICO RE
SIGNS HIS POSITION.
The Salary of the Office Is Regarded
aa Inadequate He Took the
Place Only Temporarily.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July 9.-J. P.
Hollander, Treasurer of Porto -Rico, left
here today on the steamer San Juan,
for New York. It Is reported here that
Mr. Hollander has resigned his position
as Treasurer nnd that he may go to
Manila to draw up tax laws similar to
those he has drafted for Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON", July 9. If Mr. Hol
lander intends to resign his position of
Treasurer of Porto "Rico, he has not
communicated that fact to the officials
of the State Department. Still, such a
step is not at all unlikely, as when
he went to Porto Rico it was Mr. Hol
lander's expectation to remain In the
service only temporarily. He is a mem
ber of the faculty of Johns Hopkins
University, of Baltimore, being lent to
the War Department by President Gil
man. Now that the Island Is on a serf
supporting basis, it would not be sur
prising if Mr. Hollander should sever his
connection with the insular government.
The salary of Treasurer is also re
garded as Inadequate. It Is not contem
plated to send Mr. Hollander to Manila
at this time to prepare a tax for the
Philippines, as Secretary Root says the
subject has not been considered.

Metal Trades Association Refuses to
Accept O'Connell' Terms.
MILWAUKEE. Wis., July 9. No atten
tion will be paid to the proposition for
a settlement of the machinists' strike
made by President James O'Connell of
the machinists, to the National Metal
Trades Association. This was the state
ment of Edwin Reynolds, president of
the Association, tonight. During the day.
President Reynolds received a communi
cation from Secretary Devlns, of the As
sociation, in which he detailed Mr. O'Con
nell's proposition for a settlement Of the
strike. Mr. Devins Informed Mr. Rey
nolds that the administrative council of
the trades association In New York is
unanimously opposed to considering the
proposition of Mr. O'Connell.
"If the men come back to work," said
Mr. Reynolds, "they will return under
the condition of our declaration of princi
ples. The proposition of Mr. O'Connell Is
almost the same as that which we offered
at first, the nine-hour day and the arbi
tration of the wage question locally. By
striking, the men have lost the nine-hour
day, and the proposition of Mr. O'Connell
has made no change whatever In the sit
uation." THE STEEL WORKERS STRIKE.
Everything Points to an Amicable
Settlement.
PITTSBURG. July 9. As the result of
the preliminary conference between Pres
ident Shaffer, of the Amalgamated As
sociation, and Warner Arms, represent
ing the combined interests, last evening,
the Wellsvllle trouble, which yesterday
threatened to undo all that had been
done toward effecting a peaceable settle
ment of the strike, was not referred to
today and everything pointed to an ami
cable adjustment of all differences at the
general conference arranged for next
Thursday.
"I am pretty well satisfied that the
trouble wllf be settled at this meeting."
said President Shaffer. "There seems to
be a spirit of fairness among those to
whom I have talked officially on the sub
ject. The meeting will be for the sign
ing of the scale for the mills as a whole."
In response to a query as to who would
make up the combined committee, Mr.
Shaffer said that he did not know. Mr.
Pearsons on the outside who professed to
know, said that the conference would In
this case be governed for the United
States Steel Corporation by general offic
ers, and not by any of the operating
officials of the underlying companies.
Should this be the case It will mark a
decided departure in the method of deal
ing with the Amalgamated Association.
Joseph D. Bishop, the first vice-president
of the Amalgamated Association,
arrived In Pittsburg today, and went at
once to Amalgamated headquarters.
When seen by a representative of the
Associated Press and asked if the Ohio
State Board of Arbitration would join
In the efforts to settle the strike, he
said:
"I Am here to inquire into the situa
tion, and if our board can be of any as
sistance in adjusting the difficulty we
will give our services. I do not care to
expiess an opinion on the strike."
When seen later, President Shaffer said
that the conference Thursday must be
final, as the association will not waste
any more time. He declared that there
can be no compromise, and nothing short
of a complete surrender will be accepted.

strike, which is to be held at Pittsburg
Thursday, will have only details to con
sider. Soon after the conference is called
to order the strike will be declared to
have been settled. No hitch is expected."
The Reading: Strike.
READING, Pa., July 9. Not a single
Philadelphia & Reading striking employe
in the city returned to work today. The
men have apparently rejected the latest
proposition of Acting President Welsh. It
is said that at the conference of Mr.
Welsh, Vice-President Voorhees and the
strikers' representatives, the railroad offi
cials would give no assurances as to the
basis of Increase which the men might
look for. The freight-handlers are still
out, but the places of many of the men
have been filled. The clerks at the freight
depot asked for an advance, but received
no reply. The salaries range from $20 to
$25 per month, the latter being for the

a day, without extra for overtime.
INDICATION OF PROSPERITY
Condition of the National Banking
System of the Conntry.
NEW YORK, July 9. Controller of the
Currency Dawes Is quoted by the Wash
ington correspondent of the Press, as
saying relative to the condition of the
National banks of the country:
"The latest detailed reports received
from the National banks of the United
States Indicate an unusually high degree
of prosperity. The condition of the Na
tional banking system can be taken as a
practical barometer of the industrial and
commercial condition of the country, and
therefore the remarkable showing now
being made by these institutions indicates
clearly that every branch of American
trade and Industry Is flushed Vo a cor
respondingly high degree. The resources
of the banks are greater than ever before
In the history of the National system,
and the condition of the banks generally
is satisfactory."
The present condition of the banks
stands out In strong contrast against the
dark background of the condition that
prevailed some seven or eight years ago.
In 1893, for Instance, the record for bank
failures was reached, when 38 of the Na
tional banks went permanently into1 the
hands of receivers. During the first six
months of the present year only seven
banks have failed, wh.le during the entire
year of 1900 only five went under.
