TO BREAK THE STRIKE
TWO AGGRESSIVE MOVES BY THE
SHEET STEEL COMPANY.
Nonunion Men Shipped From Van-
dcrsrift to WellsviUe Hyde Park
Plant to Be Started.
PITTSBURG, July 24. Two moves, it
Is reported, were made toy the aggressive
officials of the American Sheet Steel Com
pany today toward the breaking of the
strike. One was the shipping of some of
the non-union men that have been em
ployed in the Vandergrift mills of the
company to Wellsvllle. to assist in the
starting of the plant there. It was stated
that 50 men were to be shipped to Wells
ville during the early evening and would
reach there after dark. As a consequence
of this report, there Is suppressed ex
citement at Wellsvllle that any moment
may break out into a serious condition.
Both strikers and officials of the com
pany are on the alert and ready for any
emergency. The Impression Is strong to
night that the general officers of the
United States Steel Corporation have be
come determined on the subject of an
early breaking of the strike and ultimately
to force the operation of all the Idle
plants.
The second move that is understood to
have been initiated today is the start
ing of the lOng-ldle Hyde Park plant
of the American Sheet Steel Company.
This plant was taken Jnto the combination
burdened with objectionable contracts
made by the former owners, and has re
mained Idle since. The long Idleness of
this mill has caused most of the men
formerly employed there to leave Hyde
Park for other places, and the company
believes there would be less difficulty In
starting this plant than where the Amal
gamated Association has control.
It was apparent in Pittsburg this even
ing that fresh and decidedly Important
developments In the strike of the- steel
workers were about to take place. At
the Amalgamated headquarters the two
leading officials of the association were
absent during the greater part of the
day. It was stated that President Shaffer
was away on personal business and had
nothing In hand concerning the strike.
The absence of Secretary John Williams
was also accounted for In the same man
ner. The conference held Tuesday night,
which kept President Shaffer and Secre
tary "Williams out until early this morn
ing, remains as mysterious as before.
None of these officials would give out any
hint as to what had taken place, aside
from stating positively that they had not
met any of the officials pf the United
States Steel Corporation. Whatever the
object of the meeting, it Is believed to
have been continued today, and much of
Importance Is expected to be developed
from the conference.
The question of the manufactur
ers securing Injunctions against the
Amalgamated Association was dis
cussed guardedly during the day. As
sistant Secretary M. F. Tlghe said he did
not think the measure would be resorted
to at this stage of the proceedings, even
if it was contemplated for a later day.
There Is practically no cause for such a
measure, and If there is he doubted if,
under the conditions that exist at pres
ent, the courts would grant such orders.
Particularly Is this the case In Penn
sylvania. In Ohio, President Shaffer seems
to feel confident that such injunctions
would not be granted. Those best ac
quainted with the feelings of the manu
facturers say there Is in their opinion
little cause for believing that such meas
ures will be resorted to at this time.
Virgil Preston, ex-presldent of the
American Steel Hoop Company, and John
Warner, of the Carnegio Steel Company,
are In the city, and their visit seems to
have given rise to the supposition that
,they have corae here to 'discuss this ques
tion with officials of the Amalgamated
Association.
Amalgamated,. Association officials, when
asked when they were going to call out
all the Amalgamated men In the different
mills of the corporation, said that the
time has not yet come for tnat.
The Dewees-Wood plant at McKeesport
was encircled by strikers all night, guard
ing against the Introduction of nonunion
men, but the pickets were withdrawn to
day, the strikers believing that no at
tempt will bo made to operate the works.
They are still on the alert, however.
Locally, rumors are being persistently
circulated of attempts to be made at
Painters, Lindsay & McCutcheon's and
Clark's to resume operations shortly. At
Clark's mill the strikers were surprised
today to find a detail of 10 policemen
guarding the property. An Iron fence
separating the Clark plant from Carne
gie's mill has been torn down, and It is
said workmen from the Carnegie plant
will be quietly transferred to Clark's. The
strikers are preparing for emergencies.
The cxplanatlpn of the absence of Presi
dent Shaffer and Secretary Williams from
Amalgamated headquarters was given In
the following telegram received from
Wellsvllle tonight:
"Disguised as a decrepit, half blind,
ragged tramp. President T J. Shaffer,
the head of the Amalgamated Asoclation,
slipped into Wellsvllle this afternoon, re
mained there an hour In conference with
Vice-President Chappell and other officials
and then boarded the train at East Liver
pool to return to Pittsburg. Not a half
dozen persons in Wellsvllle knew tonight
that the chief of the workers organiza
tion was in town. President Shaffer
would not state the object of his mis
sion to Wellsvllle. It was Intimated that
he was here to outline the policy of the
strikers in view of threatened injunction
proceedings. He made this statement just
before leaving East Liverpool:
"Nine nonunion men arrived in Wells
vllle tonight. Five of them forced their
way into the mill, but four others who
fell Into the midst of a crowd of 100
strikers were Induced to return to Pitts
burg. The nonunion recruits were greeted
with cat calls and many epithets."
The Post tomorrow will say:
"That mysterious conference which was
attended by President T. J. Shaffer, of
tne Amaigamatea Association, ana secre
tary John Williams on Tuesday night
promi&es to bring about a change in the
situation of the steelworkers strike in
a few days. It Is understood that a move
ment has been started by the Amalga
mated officials for a settlement of the
controversy by further conference with
the officials of the United States Steel
Corporation. This latter movement Is
said to have been Inaugurated on Tues
day, when President Shaffer and Secre
tary Williams held a four hours' confer
ence with other persons at the Lincoln
Hotel. M. M. Garland, the ex-president
of the Amalgamated Association, and
now Surveyor of the Port of Pittsburg,
Is said to be in New York in the Interest
of a settlement of some kind. Mr. Gar
land Is expected home today. Whether
Mr. Garland Is acting In behalf of the
president of the Amalgamated Associa

ture. hTe manufacturers. It Is understood
In dispatches from New York, are averse
to any compromise that will mean the

they have determined to fight the strikers

about the Nevy Department that Admiral
Dewey will be president of the court.
There is an impression thdt the two other
members of the court will be retired
Naval officers, or at least officers who
had no connection with the Santiago cam
paign. The selection of retired officers
will have a double advantage. Not only
will they be free from any prejudice
growing out of their active connection
with the department, but they will have
no fear of future consequences arising
from their course while members of the

Admiral Schley's letter Is as follows:
"Great Neck, Long Island, N. Y., July
22. Sir: Within the past few days a
series of press comments have been sent
to me from various parts of the country
of a book entitled 'The History of the
Navy, written by one Edgar Stanton
Maclay. From these reviews It appears
that this edition Is a third volume of
the said history Intended to Include the
late war with Spain, which the first two
volumes did not contain, and were in use
as text-books at the Naval Academy.
"2. From excerpts quoted in some re
views. In which the page and paragraph
are given, there Is such perversion of
facts, misconstruction of intention, such
intemperate abuse and defamation of my
self, as to subject Mr. Maclay to action
in civil law. While I admit the right of
fair criticism of every public officer, I
must protest against the low flings and
abusive language of this violent partisan
opponent, who has infused into the pages
of his book so much of the malice of un
fairness as to make it unworthy the
name of history or of use In any reput
able Institution of the country.
"3. I have refrained hitherto from all
comment upon the Innuendos of enemies
uttered or murmured in secret and there
fore with safety to themselves. I think
the time has now come to take such ac
tion as" may bring this entire matter un
der discussion under the clearer and calm
er review of my brothers In arms, and
to this end I ask such action at the hands
of the department as It may deem best
to accomplish this purpose.
"4. But I would express the request In
this connection that whatever the action
may be that it occur In Washington,
where most of my papers and data aro
stored. Very respectfully,
"W. S. SCHLEY.
"Rear-Admiral, U. S. N.
"To the Secretary of the Navj'i Wash

Secretary Long replied to Admiral
Schley as follows:
"Navy Department, Washington, D. C,
July 24, 1901. Sir: I am In 'receipt of
yours of the 22d Inst., with reference to
the criticisms upon you in connection
with the Spanish-American War, and
heartily approve of your action under the
circumstances, asking at the hands of
this department such action as may bring
this entire matter under discussion under
jthe clearer and calmer review of your
brothers In arms. The department will
at once proceed In accordance with your
request. Very respectfully,

BOSTON, July 24. Rear-Admiral Samp
son said today:
"I am glad that Rear-Admiral Schley
has asked Secretary Long for an Inves
tigation. I hope if there is an Investiga
tion It will be a thorough one and that
not a detail of anything that has been in
dispute will be avoided by the Investigat
ing board. This whole business is in
spired by malice, but now, perhaps, It may
be all investigated, and if it is the peo
ple of the United Bta'tes will know all the
facts."
What Maclay Says of It.
NEW YORK, July 24. Edgar S. Maclay,
who criticised Rear-Admiral Schley in a
history of the United States Navy, said
today:
"It Is the proper course for Rear-Admiral
Schley to demand a court of In
quiry. It Is his only means of vindica
tion. After this court has determined up
on his case, then he can bring suit. It Is
needless for me to comment further upon
Rear-Admiral Schley's record."
CENSUS STATISTICS.
WASHINGTON, July 24. The Census
Bureau today gave out a statement show
ing the condition of the manufacturing
industries of Idaho, Nevada and Wyo
ming. Idaho showed a gain of 188 per
cent over 1890 in the value of product.
which was 54,120,432. Wyoming's product
was fi.301,240, a gain of 81 per cent over
1S90. The manufacturing product of Ne
vada was $1,643,675. This is a slight Im
provement over the showing ol 1890. The
principal manufactured product of Idaho
in 1900 was lumber. The principal Item
In both Wyoming and Nevada Is the out
put of the railroad repair shops.
Referring to the showing made in Neva
da, Chief Statistician North, of the Cen
sus Bureau, says:
"A comparison with the census of 1890
and 1900 shows a general decrease In the
manufacturing and mechanical Industries
of the state between the years 16S0 and
1890, and an Increase between the years
1890 and 1900. It Is probable, however,
that this increase during the last decade
Is only apparent and Is due to a closer
canvass In this sparsely-settled region in
1900 than In 1890. This general decline in
manufactured products is a direct result
of the decrease in population a decrease
which began about 1SS0 with the apparent
exhaustion 'of some ol the richer depos
its of gold and silver, and has continued
to the present time."

VIENNA," July 24. At a largely attend
ed meeting here today of Viennese shoe
makers, a most determined protest, was
lodged against the proposed establishment
of American shoe houses in Vienna, and

to the Minister of Commerce and to the
Provincial Governor, begging them to in
terdict American houses from embarking
in the shoe business in this country.

not say that this is a probability. For to

there is a possibility of showers in Ne

Such rainfalls as occurred today and
were officially reported to the Weather
Bureau were none of them heavy In
amount, the greatest precipitation being
at Marquette, where It amounted to less
than half an Inch. In other .sections also
some rain fell, notably at Chicago, New
Orleans, Salt Lake and Vlcksburg. Tem

the Central valleys and In the Central

already noted, occasional showers are pre

some local thunder storms In Oklahoma.

'Kansnns Realize In All Its Misery
What a Drouth. Is.
TOPEKA, Kas., July 24. The heat rec
ord for Kansas was- broken again today.
This has been the regular announcement
for several days past, but today the
official record at the University of Kan
sas showed a temperature of 108 degrees.
In Topeka the Government's record gave
It as 106 degrees, while good thermpme
ters on the streets registered 110 and 112
degrees. Manhattan leports 112 degrees;
Emporia 112; Ottawa 110; Atchison 104;
Abilene 108. Numerous prostrations are
reported, and in Abilene there were three
deaths.
No rains of any consequence have fal
len In the state during the day. Central
Kansas was the only place, having even
light thunder showers. What rains felt
yesterday served only temporarily to re
duce the extremely high condition of the
atmosphere.
Tonight no relief Is In sight. Every
thing is stifled with dust and the people of
Kansas are beginning to realize In all Its
fullness what a drouth Is. The financial
part of the situation Is lost sight of for
the present. What Is being thought of
now is the extreme physical discomfort
resulting from the heat, the alarming,
scarcity of drinking and stock water, and
they prospect of much sickness after the
heated spell.
Kansas City's Worst Day.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 24. For 12
consecutive hours today the Government
thermometer here registered above 100.
While the record of 105 of Monday was
not touched, the day was the severest

o'clock this morning 101 was recorded,
the highest mark ever touched so early
iii the day since the Ideal Weather Bu
reau has been established. For 11 hours
after that the temperature ranged be
tweet 104 and 105. Still there Is no re
lief In sight either in Kansas City or any
part of the Southwest In the past 24
hours-the rain reported has been showers
at Hays, Central Kansas, last night, and
at El Reno, O. T., at- noon today. - Five
deaths directly attributable to 'the heat
were reported In tho two Kansas cities
.today with a total of over 30 prostrations.
Several prostrations are also reported

drouth-stricken regions of the West and

telegraph their orders without asking the

with tho time in which their demands can
bo satisfied. It Is estimated that from 30
to 40 cars of Ice are being shipped out of
Chicago dally, which Is a larger amount
than ever before In the history of- the
trade. Thus far the prices have not been
advanced, and the manufacturers decline
to discuss the possibilities of the future.
"I never saw such a demand for Ice,"
said J. S. Field, of the Knickerbocker Ice
Company. "The unexpected demand comes
from tho Southern cities, which we sup
posed to be fully supplied by the arti
ficial Ice companies. They have found
that the intense heat prevents them from

DISEASE IS CURABLE
FRENCH PHYSICIAN'S PAPER- ON
TUBERCULOSIS.
Professor Brounrdel Declines to Ac
cept Dr. Koch's Theory Ameri
can Views on the Subject.
LONDON, July 24. The principal pa
per before the British Congress on Tuber
culosis today was read by Professor
Brouardel, of Paris, who urged interna
tional legislation In regard to the noti
fication of tha authorities. Qf the existence
of tuberculosis and the disinfection and
salubriety of hotels, railroad cars and
steamboats, thus preventing the spread of
tuberculosis. Professor Brouardel, who
Is dean of the medical faculty of Paris,
maintained that the disease was curable.
He said any measures tending to limit
the ravages of alcoholism would diminish
the mortality from consumption and re
ferred to the great danger in hawking
pieces of meat in public places and In
the sale of milk which had jiot been ex
amined. He believed that the dangers
could be remedied by ( legislation. Pro
fessor Brouardel complimented the Unit
ed States on Its "realization of the dan
gers of expectoration and on its legisla
tion In the matter."
Professor Brouardel declines to accept
Professor Koch's theory that tuberculosis
cannot be propagated by the meat and
milk of tuberculosis cattle and said he
thought it right to 'protect the popula
tion from this contagion by legislation.
In an Important paper on the question
Of tuberculin, Dr. Herron. of London,
paid .a warm tribute to the researches of
Professor Koch. Ho said that the preju
dice against tuberculin arose from the
Ignorance of those who had attempted to
use It while disregarding the explicit in
junctions of the discoverer, particularly
in applying It in unsuitable cases. He
pointed out that a very freqnuent mistake
was to administer an overdose and to
fail to reduce or suspend the application
when the temperature rose above the
normal.
The only chance to cure consumption.
Dr. Herron asserted, was to begin in
the early stages. The surest method of
dlsagnosis wa3 by the application of tu
berculin. He expressed himself as en
tirely confident that this could be done
with absolute safety.
"Had tuberculin served no other pur
pose than diagnosis." he said, "It would
be worthy of the highest praise and ap
preciation." Professor Koch, who was present, was
warmly cheered. He spoke briefly, in
dorsing Dr. Herron's observations as. to
the necessity for caution In the use of
tuberculin.
At a banquet given tonight to Professor
Koch, Sir James Crlchton-Browne an
nounced that the British authorities had
appointed a committee to inquire Into tho
relations between human and bovine tu
berculosis. The Dally Mall publishes an Interview
with Lord Lister, In the course of -which
he Is reported as having said that he was
absolutely unable to believe the state
ment of Professor Koch, that human be
ings could not get consumption through
drinking the milk of diseased cows, the
evidence to the contrary being far too
overwhelming.
PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION.
Dr. Koch's Discovery Has Upset All
Theories.
NEW YORK, July 24. Regarding the
cable message from London that Profes
sor Koch, of Berlin, has made the state
ment that he has demonstrated that meat
and milk from cattle infected by tubercu
losis might bo consumed with Impunity,
Dr. William. Jenkins, Health Commission
er, said last. night that Profeseor-Koeh's
statement upset all the theories of, the
Health Department regarding the destruc
tion of the diseased cattle.
"Wo have recognized the fact," said
Commissioner Jenkins, "that meat can be
used from tuberculosis cattle, and instead
of destroying the whole carcass, as was
formerly done, parts of it may be used.
Cooling will destroy any germs. We havo
had an Idea that milk was a conveyor of
the disease, and still hold to that
theory. Whatever Professor Koch says
I would be Inclined to believe, but I
should like to see his entire article on
the subject."
Dr. F. M. Jeffries, director of the
laboratory of the New York Polyclinic,
S3ld the natural assumption has been that
the bacillus causing tuberculosis In cat
tle would likewise cause tuberculosis In
man, and accordingly great efforts had
been put forth to contend with the pre
sumed Infection from cattle by meat and
milk. Dr. Jeffries' Impression was that
Dr. Koch himself asserted that tubercu
losis could be produced In man Irom In
fected meat or milk.
"Personally," the doctor went on, "I am
not Inclined to make much out of this
statement of Dr. Koch. Of course, if it
can be thoroughly demonstrated that,
tubercular material in meat and milk Is
Incapable of producing tuberculosis in
man, it will greatly reduce the amount of
work to be done in our efforts to do
away with tuberculosis in man. Dr.
Koch said he could cure consumption with
his lymph, and we take this statement
of his with a grain of salt."
Comment of Dr. Flick.
PHILADELPHIA July 14. Dr. Law
rence F. Flick, ex-President of the Penn
sylvania Society for the Prevention of
Tuberculosis, and president of the Free
Hospital for Poor Consumptives, when
asked for his views on the subject of
tuberculosis, said:
"The greatest benefit that will accrue
from Dr. Koch's demonstration, if he has
demonstrated what has been announced,
will be the direction of preventive meas
ures along the right channels. The Gov
ernment of this country has expended en
ergy for the extermination of tuberculosis
among cattle with a view of preventing
the spread of the disease In human beings,
but has done very little toward prevent
ing tho epread of the disease from one
human being to another. With a clear
demonstration that the disease cannot
spread from animals to human beings, It
is likely that the Government's efforts
will be turned Into the channels of pro
viding sanitarium treatment for the con
sumptive poor which will strike at the
very root of the evil oy preventing con
tact between those ill of tuberculosis and
their healthy relatives."

recommend It to anyone who Is suf
fering with, stomach or catarrhal
troubles." R. W. Wilcox.
AH over this country are hundreds of
people who are suffering from catarrh of
the stomach who are wasting precious
time, and enduring needless suffering.
The remedies they try only temporarily
palliate the distress, but never effect a
cure. Remedies for -dyspepsia have mul
tiplied so rapidly that they are becoming
as numerous as the leaves of the forest,
and yet dyspepsia continues to flourish
In spite of them all. This Is due to the
fact that the cause of dyspepsia is not
recognized as catarrh.
If there Is a remedy in the whole range
of medicinal preparations that is in every
particular adapted to dyspepsia, that rem
edy Is Peruna. This remedy Is well-nigh
Invincible In these cases.
Dr. Hartman, president of The Hart-,
man Sanitarium, Columbus. O., says:
"In my large practice and correspond
ence I have yet to learn of a single case,
of atonic dyspepsia which has not either;
been greatly benefited or cured by Pe-'
runa." '
No one suffering with catarrh of the
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight, j
can be well or happy. It is the cause of
so many distressing symptoms that it isi
a most dreaded disease. Peruna acts'
immediately on the seat of tho trouble,!
the Inflamed mucous membranes lining
the stomach, and a lasting cure is effected.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a1
full statement of your case and he Willi
be pleased to give you his valuable advise
gratis.
