NO ATTEMPT TO RESUME
IDLE PLANTS OP THE STEEL TRUST
WERE NOT STARTED UP.
Strike Bulletin Issued by the Amal
gamated Association Xo Farther
More Toward Arbitration.
PITTSBURG. July 22. The expected did
not happen today at "Wellsvllle or Mc
Keesport. At Wellsvllle the rumored Im
portation of men failed to materialize, and
at McKeesport the expected attempt to
resume at the Dewees-Wood tube plant
was not made. As both points, which are
considered by each side to be strike cen
ters, remain In statu quo, neither of the
parties to the controversy have made any
decided move. From the other Important
point, Duncansvllle, conflicting reports
are received, and the result of the quiet
struggle going on between the American
Steel Hoop Company and the Amalga
mated Association Is still uncertain, with
the company's chances probably better
for winning In the end.
Late this afternoon the Amalgamated
Association Issued its first strike bulletin
from the general offices. The bulletin
gives an outline of the conditions prevail
ing, and reproduces abstracts of Presi
dent Shaffer's recent addresses at Wells
vllle and McKeesport. Jn the most prom
inent part of the bulletin is printed the
warning words: "Don't drink, especially
If the trust tries to break the strike by
importing nonunion men. Don't believe
any one who says the mills will be closed
forever or taken out of the community If
you don't go to work." Further on are
the words: "There were not enough men
in the country to run the mills before the
strike, so all you need to do to win the
strike is, don't work. Enjoy your Sum
mer shut-down. It means more work next
Winter. This is not the time for mill
work, anyhow."
Absolute denial was made by President
Shaffer of a story that a delegation from
the Vandergrift mills of the American
Sheet Steel Company has been in confer
ence with him. He said he had seen no
one from Vandergrift, and knew nothing
of their presence in Pittsburg or Mc
Keesport. Whatever is being done by the
Amalgamated people at Vandergrift is
being kept s0 quiet at present that few of
the general officials of the order are ac
quainted with the status of affairs.
There has been no change in the arbitra
tion or mediation movements, so far as
the officials of the association are aware.
The hope is general among these officials,
however, that a way will be found to
bring about a settlement of the difficulties.
President Shaffer has not yet declared
that there was no possibility of conces
sions on the part of the Amalgamated As
sociation. When he was asked for his
opinion on this matter today, he- replied
that he was unable to answer the ques
tion. Friends of the president who have
talked to him on this line express the firm
belief that If the proper steps were taken
the manufacturers would find the associa
tion In a conciliatory mood and ready to
meet any reasonable proposition consist
ent with honor They say the whole tone
of President Shaffer's remarks Is Inclined
toward peace 1 he can secure It honor
ably. At McKeesport It was reported
that the company would bring in new men
this morning. Hundreds of strikers were
parading the streets, watching the rail
roads and even watching the river bank,
because it was said the men would be
brought in by boat up the Monongahela
River. The stations of the Pittsburg, Vir
ginia & Charleston Railroad on the oppo
site side of the Monongahela River from
McKeesport were also picketed for possi
ble arrivals and passers-by on the street
were stopped and questioned when occa
sion seemed to Justify It, but no reason
for any drastic measures was found.
The popular feeling Increased so steadily
that at 3 o'clock this morning Chief of
.Police Morrlssey, who had marshaled his
entire force, ordered the groups of men to
disperse. Throughout the excitement the
strikers acted with decorum, and at no
time In any part of the city was there
any disorder. If the compapy should at
tempt to bring new men in it Is not un
likely that the strikers will make resis
tance. The Amalgamated people are great
ly elated over the fact that they succeed-
. cd yesterday In organizing a lodge among
the employes of the National Tube works.
The formation of this lodge may extend
the conflict to that plant
The situation this morning throughout
Pittsburg and Allegheny in the strike
district was about the same as Saturday.
i "o effort was made to run any of the
plants. It Is said that the Amalgamated
. Association has arranged that in the event
, of an effort being made to start the
Painter Mill plant nonunion, an alarm
' will be sounded and over two-thirds of
the strikers will be on hand In a few
minutes prepared to resist stoutly any
move by the management.
Commenting upon the possibility of the
National Tube Company discharging the
men who Joined the Amalgamated Asso
ciation yesterday. President Shaffer said
today:
, "If the company should discharge these
, men we shall have to protect them, and
as we consider discharge under these cir
cumstances grounds for enforcing article
19, section 35, we should have to request
the reinstatement of those men and their
recognition as members. If that were not
done we should be compelled to call out all
Amalgamated men working in the plants
of the National Tube Company."
In reply to the question, "In organizing
these men had you planned to draw them
into the strike?" the Amalgamated pres
ident replied:
"As our last conference proposition to
the manufacturers practically limited the
strike to the sheet, tinplate and hoop
companies for the time being, it was not
our purpose to organize these men to in
volve the National Tube Company."
Among the manufacturers there was the
same general silence preserved regarding
ine situation ana. concerning prospective
plans for opening the now idle mills of the
three companies.
From Monessen tonight came the follow
lng: "There Is suppressed excitement here
tonight and It is likely trouble of a seri
ous nature will result Inside of 24 hours.
The National Tinplate Works were
started up In full this morning at the
regular time. Shifts are working. Super
intendent Donner has placed a heavy
guard aroud the mill, and if any effort
Is made to Intimidate the workmen, there
certainly wm oe bloodshed. The organ
izers have been able to get a few men
away, bul It Is said their places were
quickly filled. To a reporter, several of
the men said that if the tin mill men came
out, they would have to leave this part
of the country. They cannot work at any
thing else, and say they won't Join the
unlort. An ironclad agreement with W.
H. Donner. now president of the Union
Steel Company, specially states that the
mill must be run nonunion, otherwise
the company cannpt use his patents."
Tie Mill Did Not Start.
. CLEVELAND, O., July 22. Contrary
to the announcement of several days ago,
the hoop mill that the United States Steei
Corporation has been equipping In this
city during the past week to manufacture
cotton ties did not begin operations to
day. Vice-President Ward, of the Amal
gamated Association, declared that the
company did not have a sufficient number
of experienced men to operate the mill.
Officials of the company declined to dis
cuss the matter, or to say when an at-
? tempt would be made to operate the mill.
It is understood, however, that it Is pro-
4 posed to begin work next Thursday morn-

ply to President Shaffer, of the Amalga
mated Association, or discuss the strike
situation.

struggle of Lone Wolf and Judge Will
iam M. Springer, attorney for the dis
gruntled Kiowa, Comanche and Apache
Indians, to prevent the opening of the

junction restraining William A. Richards,
Assistant Commissioner of tho General
Land Office, and the Registers and Re
ceivers of the land offices here and at
Lawton, from proceeding In any way to
carrry out the provisions of the procla
mation. The petition asks further that

dent's proclamation was based, Is void,
the claim being made that the treaty
was obtained by fraud. The hearing will
take place at El Reno next Saturday.

nothing short of sending him to Jail would
Interfere with the work he has been sent
to do.

FOSBURGH MURDER TRIAL
EVIDENCE OF BURGLARS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
Brother of the Accused Man Told of
the Incidents of the Night of
- the Tragedy.
PITTSFIELD, Mass., July 22. At the
opening of the third day's trial of Robert
B. Fosburgh, for the alleged murder of
his sister. Nelson J. Hall, of this city,
told of a visit to the Fosburgh
house at 4 o'clock on the morn
ing following the shooting. He
found a pair of worn black half hose
with white dots on the grass near the
Robert S. Fosburgh.
edge of the road. Further on he picked up
a single sock. The half hose were lnden
tlfled in court by witness as those he
found. The tracks of bare feet were also
noticed in the road. They disappeared at
a bend In the road further on.
Dr. W. W. Schofleld, who was called to
the Fosburgh house shortly after the
May Fosburgr.
shooting, described the wounds found on
the heads of Fosburgh and his father.
Police Officer George B. Chapman gave
an entirely new bit of evidence. He stated
that he found a number of matches of a
different make from those used by his
family in a bedroom, of his house and near
the doorstep outside on the next morning
after the Fosburgh shooting. Witness
said that his wife declared that there
must have been burglars In the House that
night. Matches found In the Fosburgh
house were similar to those found by Mr.
Chapman.
The examination of James Fosburgh, a
brother of the accused man, then began.
Witness said he was awakened by a ter
rible shriek, coming apparently from his
father's room He rushed up the front
stairs, turning on various lights as he ran.
He was met at the head of the stairs by
his sister-in-law, who screamed: "Your
father's gone crazy." He brushed her
aside and went on to his sister May's
room. Sho was lying on the floor. The
electric lights had been lighted. .
''There was only one thing that made
an impression on me," he said, "that was

the fact of my sister's body lying on the

did not wait to see If this was done, but
got ready to start for a doctor. I saw

the middle of the room he collapsed and
fell to the floor."
Witness then described his trip for a
doctor. He did not know that his sister
had been shot until he returned. Young
Fosburgh said he had heard no shots in
the house that night and therefore could
not say how many shots "had been fired.
HANGED TO A PARK TREE.
WoHld-Be Negro Murderer Lynched
In a West Virginia Town.
ELKINS, W. Va., July 22. William
Brooks, a negro, was lynched tonight,
being hanged from the limb of a tree in
the City Park. Brooks shot andi fatally
wounded Chief of Police l,ly, who
sought to arrest him for creating a. dis
turbance. The negro was chased half a
mile by a crowd and captured. He fought
desperately, but could not get away.
Brooks was handed over to the Sheriff
to be taken to the county Jail. Just as
.the Sheriff and the negro reached the
prison doors a mob of men at least 4w
strong surrounded the officers and de
manded the prisoner. The Sheriff and
guards refused and made resistance, but
to no avail. Brooks was seized and
rushed through the streets to the City
Park. When the park was reached the
men who were leading Brooks told him
to walk up under a big shade tree In the
center of the park and prepare to die.
The negro could not speak and seemed
almost Insensible to what was going on.
The rope was drawn up and in a few
minutes the body swung from the tree
lifeless. Then the mob disappeared.
Hundreds of men and women came later
and viewed the body. The body was still
hanging at a late hour tonight.

BRAVE WORDS.
To Be Spoken In California of Its
Patron Saint.
San Francisco Bulletin.
That Is a noble maxim which commands,
"Speak only good of the dead:" The max
im, however, carries with it the sugges
tion that in speaking good of the dead,
eulogy should recognize the superior
claims of truth. If this rule be disregard
ed, truth requires that eulogy be rebuked
even at some disregard of the primal
maxim. The principal danger arising from
gifts of very rich men to religious, educa-.
tlonal and charitable Institutions lies in
the temptation such gifts hold out to ben
eficiaries to subordinate the claims ot
truth to those of eulogy. "To err Is hu
man; to forgive, divine," is the text from
which these untruthful eulogists speak.
One charitable act is made to cover a
multitude of sins. Death places a distinct
limit on the speech of the living, but the
most ardent admirer of the dead should
not presume too far on the forbearance of
the lovers of truth.
At the tenth annual commencement of
the Leland Stanford Junior "University the
president of that Institution said of the
founder: "I need not repeat the story of
Mr. Stanford's life. He was long the
most conspicuous public man of Califor
nia. Ho was her war Governor, wise and
patient, and respected of all men before
his railroad enterprises made him the
wealthiest citizen of the state. His wide
popularity, the Influence, personal and po
litical, which he acquired, did not arise
from his wealth. Wealth, influence and
popularity sprang alike from his personal
qualities, his persistence, his Integrity, his
long-headedness and his simplicity, which
always kept him in touch with the peo
ple." This panegyric from a beneficiary of the
gifts of Leland Stanford to the State
would be permitted to pass without com
ment if It did not tend to establish the
impression that a shower of gold so con
fuses the public mind as to cause It to for
get what it knows. The people of Califor
nia who are at all conversant with public
affairs know that Leland Stanford did not
possess the qualities of character, that,
according to trie president of the Stanford
University, his popularity was based ifp
on. Enough Is known of the history of the
construction of the Central Pacific Rail
road to stamp the assertion that Mr. Stan
ford came by his millions honestly as un-
truei As president of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company he was well acquainted
with the devices by which more than one
hundred millions of dollars were diverted
Into the pockets of the builders, while the
public, through the National Government,
was paying the interest on the bonds Is
sued for the construction of the road. The
restitution that was finally made In the
form of an endowment for an Institution
of learning was Inspired by the untimely
death of Mr. Stanford's only son. It is
notorious also that the corruption which
disgraced Calif ornla's political conventions,
Legislatures and, to an extent, Its Judi
ciary, can be traced to the operations of
the company of which Leland Stanford
was president. Still, Mr. Stanford had
personal qualities that endeared him to
his associates. The more Judicious of his
friends would gladly have permitted facts
with which thousands of Callfornlans are
familiar to be burled In a grave of which
the Leland Stanford Junior University
i .
should bo ihe headstone. But the de
mands of truth are Imperative. The Idea
must not go abroad that an act of gener
osity may rewrite the history of the State
or change the public estimate of the char
acter of a man who for years debauched
Its politics.

PLAN FINALLY ADOPTED
MINISTERS AT PEKIN AGREE UPON
INDEMNITY PAYMENT.
The Scheme Contemplates the Entire
Liquidation of Both Principal
and Interest by 1040.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The State De
partment received a dispatch today from
Commissioner Rockhlll at Pekln announc
ing that a plan for the payment of the
Indemnity to the powers by the Chinese
Government finally has been adopted.
The amortization of the bonds to be is
sued will begin in 1902, and the plan con
templates the entire liquidation of both
principal and interest by 1940. It is ex
pected that China will raise 23,000,000
taels annually. This sum Is to be used to
pay the Interest on the bonds and to form
a sinking fund for the ultimate liquida
tion of the principal.
Mr. Rockhlll's dispatch was very brief
and did not go into any details. From the
best knowledge of the general basis upon
which the Ministers have been working,
however, the State -Department officials
have a general Idea of the conclusions
which have been reached. The total
amount of Indemnity which China will
have to pay will aggregate 450,000,000 taels
and bear 4 per cent annual Interest. It
is estimated that of the 23,000,000 taels
which China Is to pay the first year 18,
000,000 taels will be required for Interest
and that 5,000,000 taels will be applied to
the sinking fund. Each year the Interest
will grow less, and the amount set aside
for the sinking fund will Increase, so that
by 1940, when the bonds are to be liqui
dated, the interest will be almost normal.
The sources of revenue for the payment
of Indemnity, as understood here, ere to
be derived from the gabelle, or salt tax,
the maritime customs and the llkln tax,
a portion to-be taken from each. The
principle of the payment of the Indem
nity having been determined upon, what
remains now Is to devolve a plan for its
execution. This 16 not regarded as a
serious problem. The bonds guaranteeing
the Indemnity are to be distributed among
the various powers on the basis agreed
upon heretofore. There will be no in
ternational guarantees, but it is said that
the governments to whom the bonds are
alloted will see to It that the purchasers
will be safe In their investments. State
Department officers apprehend that there
will be no trouble on the part of the var
ious governments in disposing of these
securities.
Bandits In Pc Chi Iil.
LONDON, July 22. A dispatch from
Pekln says:
Disaffection caused by banditti Is
prevalent in 30 districts in the cen
tral part of the Province of Pe Chi Ll.
The local officials are either disinclined
or unable with the force at their com
mand to suppress the troubles. Ll Hung
Chang, as Viceroy, Is too busy to attend
to provincial matters. The troops sent
against the banditti showed sympathy for
them, many of them having formerly been
soldiers. They are better armed than the
troops. In a recent conflict 100 soldiers
and officers were killed. The troops of
Yuan Shlh Kal, Governor of Shan Tung,
are the only ones that can be trusted to
act. Tho result of dispatching some of
them to quell -the disaffection Is not yet
known. Even if successful, in one district
an uprising is likely to occur as soon
as they depart for another. Complete
pacification will be extremely difficult.
Official appeals are constantly reaching
Ll Hung Chang.
TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS.
Four Hundred Foreign Delegates At
tend First Session at London.
LONDON, July 22. The British con-
gress for the prevention of consumption
was opened today by the Duke of Can
bridge, president of the congress.
After the Lord Mayor of London, Frank
Green, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal
and others addressed the congress, Lord
Lister, one of the British vice-presidents
of the congress, in a few words con
veved the thanks of that body to Pro
fessor Koch, of Germany, and the other
scientists for their attendance, saying
they knew the enemy they had to deal
with and that It was not only the pre
vention but the cure of consumption that
the congress hoped to effect. A tele
gram was read from King Edward to the
Duke of Cambridge, as follows:
"I pray you heartily to welcome for
me the eminent men of almost every na
tion who have assembled under your
presidency and express to them my
earnest hope that the result of the de
liberations of the congress will ) be to
assist the world In mitigating this dire
disease, which has baffled the most dis
tinguished physicians for so long."
Prior to the adjournment of today's ses
sion of the congress the Duke of Com
brldge announced that a gift of 120,000
would be forthcoming for the purpose of
establishing the first public tuberculosis
sanitarium as soon as the recommenda
tions of the congress concerning Its es
tablishment had been formulated. Four
hundred foreign delegates attended to
day's opening session. They include a
number of Americans and Canadians.
Several Ambassadors and Foreign Min
isters, the former including Joseph H.
Choate, the American Ambassador, also
attended the opening ceremonies.
Commons Behind In Its Work.
NEW YORK, July 22. The Government
whips are finding great difficulty In per
suading the rank and file of the Conser
vative and Liberal Unionist parties to be
constant In their attendance at Westmin
ster, says the London correspondent of
the Tribune. There is still a lot of work
to be done before Parliament can be pro
rogued and unfortunately for the Govern
ment, the business of the House of Com
mons has been seriously Interfered with
by the illness of the chairman of the com
mittee. In the absence of that Important
official. Mr. Balfour feels that he cannot
proceed with the committee stage of the
education bill with any prospect of pilot
ing It through the mass of amendments.
Only a half dozen government measures
have so far received the royal assent and
It is inevitable that several which are
waiting to be dealt with will have to be
abandoned. The present state of legisla
tion In the House of Commons calls for a
revision of the rules of procedure and In
addition some fresh arrangements will
have to be made so as to prevent any
future deadlock In committee.
London's Honor to Mllner.
NEW YORK, July 22. A dispatch to the
Tflbune from London says:
One of the most Interesting events of
the week will probably be the conferring
of the freedom of the City of London on
Sir Alfred Mllner. in the Guild Hall, to
morrow. So large an attendance Is ex
pected that It has been arranged to con
duct the ceremony in the great hall. A
platform Is being erected there for the
accommodation of the Lord Mayor, the
Sheriffs and Aldermen. It will be like -a
scarlet eminence looking down on a sea
of blue. The Common Councilmen will
sit in the body of the hall. After Sir
Alfred Mllner has been introduced as a
fishmonger by the Prime Warden and
Wardens of that guild, the Lord Mayor

A JUDGE'S WIFE
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
lessCured by
Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217
West 33d St., Minneapolis, Minn., as fol

small of my back and right side. It In
terfered often with my domestic and
social duties and I never supposed that
I would be cured, as the doctor's medi

"Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that I decided to try it.
Although I started in with little faith.
I felt so much better in a week that I
felt encouraged.
"I took It faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy Indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fall to
express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more Is the best thing I could wish
for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that
now." Minnie E. McAllister.

people to Imitate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics, are to be found In many drug
stores. These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pe
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at a
uniform price, and no druggist can get
it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap Imitations of Pe
runa for Peruna. It is done every day
without a doubt.
We would therefore caution all people

Judgment. The House held that It was

through Its officers, it were guilty of Il
