THE MOBNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1. 1901.
STILL UNABLE TO AGREE
CONFEREES OX STEEL STRIKE
WILL MEET AGAIN TODAY.
Three of Principal Leader "Were
Absent Yesterday, But Where
They Went No One Knows.
PITTSBURG, July 31. "Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick." This Is ex
pressive of the feelings of the majority
of Pittsburgers tonight, outside of the
Inner circle of the Amalgamated Associa
tion executive board, which has been
considering the proposals for a settlement
of the strike for two days without agree
ment. How the members of the board feel
is known to no" man on the outside.
The second day of the executive board's
deliberation was notable for many rumors
In circulation, and for the conspicuous
dearth of results. The absence of three
of the principal members of the board
from the cessions today gave rise to the
story that the members were divided In
their Ideas of the peace proposals, and
that in order to satisfy all, Secretary
Williams had been sent to New York to
seok modifications at the hands of Messrs.
Morgan and Schwab, while Assistant Sec
retary Tighb and Trustee Morgan had re
ceived a commission to visit Senator Hen
na to secure his aid in bringing about
an amicable arrangement. Nothing tan
gible could be learned concerning these
supposed trips, however, and all talk In
relation to them must remain merely
conjecture until the return of these mem
bers and their lips are unsealed.
It was after 11 o'clock this forenoon
when the committee met. Three of the
officials Secretary John "Williams, As
sistant Secretary M. F. Tlghe and National
Trustee John Morgan were not present.
It was subsequently learned that the three
absentees wer out of the city, and had
taken their departure on early trains. It
was said later that they were expected
to be present when the board shall be
called together tomorrow morning. Where
they had gone and what their mission
was could not be learned.
At noon the officials adjourned for
lunch. They remained away until after
2 o'clock, and then again took up the
.conference. President Shaffer was called
repeatedly to the telephone, and talked
Jong and earnestly with some one at the
othr end of the line. At 4 o'clock, Pres
ident Shaffer and Vice-President David
Reese left the offices. The two officials
went to the Carnegie building, where they
held a brief consultation with Joseph E.
Schwab and Very! Proston, who apent
most of the day in the Carnegie offices.
Within an hour, Messrs. Reese and Shaf
fer returned to the general offices of the
Association, Another hour was spent in
the conference-room, and then the meet
ing ended. When President Shaffer came
down to go home, he was asked for some
statement as t6 the condition of the con
ference and the probability of a settle
ment. In reply, he Mid:
"There will be no statement given out
today-. I expect to call another meeting
of the board tomorrow at 10 o'clock. I will
be present at this meeting, and will not
he out of the city tonight."
All the other officials who were at the
meeting declined to talk. They hurried
cway from the building to avoid meeting
the newspaper men. About the entrance
of the headquarter? building, groups of
men were gathered all the afternoon.
Some were members of the Amalgamated
Association; others were Interested In the
strike; and still others, private detectives,
who watohed every move made by Pres
ident Shaffer and otheT leaders of the
Amalgamated Association. Mr. Shaffer
sal'd he knw of no reason for his move
ments being watched, but became deeply
Interested in the state of affaire when
told of it.
Confidence was felt In some circles today
that the strike would eventually be set
tled on the propositions made by Mr.
Morgan. The officials of the steel com
panies who have been acting for the
United States Steel Corporation In this
matter were apparently hopeful and light
hearted. Nesrroes Are Retnrninjr.
CHICAGO, July 31. Negro laborers are
returning to Melrosp Park, the scene of
the recent disturbances between whites
and negroes. Twenty are said to have
been given work in the Latrobe Steel
Works. They are, however, having a
hard time finding board and lodging. Sev
eral of the negroes now at Melrose Park
are from Alabama, and were among
those sent from the South when the
trouble first occurred.
Strike Likely to End This Week,
CHICAGO. July 31. A settlement of
the molders' 'strlko Is troected this "week.
The presence of President Martin Fox,
of the International Union of Iron Mold
ers, whose early arrival is expected, will,
it is believed, result in a conference be
tween the National officers and men, In
which the present trouble will be ad
Justed. Hannn Hok Hod No Conference.
CLEVELAND, July 31. Senator Hanna
said tonight that there had been no con
ference between him and representatives
of the Amalgamated Association, nor did
he know anything of a conference be
tween himself and the ironworkers, as is
quite generally reported.
Unable to Locate Labor Leaders.
CLEVELAND, July 31. Up to noon to
day newspaper men here had been un
able to locate Messrs. Morgan, Davis and
Tighe, of the Amalgamated Association,
reported to have started from Pittsburg
for Cleveland last night.
Conference at New York.
NEW YORK. July 3L President
Schwab and Chairman Gary, of the
United States Steel Corporation, were in
conference today with Charles Steele, of
J. P. Morgan & Co.
STRIKERS EXPECT FAILURE.
Men Out nt HcKeesport Think the
Pence Offer Will Be Rejected.
PITTSBURG, July 3L The McKeesport
strikers were restless all night, and
there was more excitement that at any
time during the strike. The evident read
iness of both the Wood and the Demmler
plants tb start at a few minutes' notice
Increased the feeling of uneasiness that
was prevalent, but no attempt was made
at either plant to resume.
Since the return last night of the Mc
Keesport men, who were in attendance at
the conference, the feeling that a long
strike is certain has become general, and
those closest to the National officers of
the Amalgamated Association- seem to
have the least hopes of any settlement
being made at present. It Is currently
understood that the terms asked by Mr.
Morgan are nothing like those published
as constituting the agreement and that
they will necessitate steps which will
force "matters to about the same point
they were'before the strike.
At Duquesne and Homestead last night
Ihero were several small meetings and
the men were in communication with
Amalgamated representatives.
If is said that a strong Amalgamated
lodge ie being organized at each place,
and that a .similar movement is on foot
at' Braddock.
The situation at Wellsville and in the
local plants closed down by the strike Is
unchanged.
Will Import Nonunion SIcn.
SHARON. Pa., July 31. It is the pur
pose of -the American Steel Casting Com
pany, one of the largest producers of cast
ings in the country, to break the strike
at their works in this city by Importing
non-union workers to" Oil the places of the
strikers. There, were about 60 new ar
rivals today, making a total of 200 who
have been Imported to date. The com
pany says the plant is now running al
most In fuU. The restraining order of the
Mercer Court prevents the strikers from
molesting the "new men.
i --
Strikers Return to Work. -
PITTSBURG, July 3L A strike of SO
men. members of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation, employed at the Twenty-ninth-street
mill of the Carnegie Steel Company,
last night, because of the discharge of
one man, Patrick Frey, a rougher, was
settled today by the reinstatement of
Frey, and the strikers returned to work.
Frey has been active in organizing the
men In the mill, and when the officials
discovered his work he was discharged.
The members of the association at once
quit work, and the company was forced
to close down two guide mills. The ac
tion of the men was a surprise to the mill
managers, as it was not known that the
Amalgamated Association had gained a
foothold In the plant. The mill employs
about 1500 men, and has been nonunion
since the Homestead strike In 1892.
Foreign Grain Crops.
LONDON, July 3L There is a great di
versity of opinion among produce deal
ers here respecting the probable supplies
of wheat from Europe and America. The
German crop is known to be unusually
small, and consequently the proposed in
crease of duties upon Imported grain will
bear heavily against the industrial class.
The French crop is reported to be lighter
than last year's. Russian statistics are
not trustworthy. American and Canadian
crops will determine the course of prices
throughout Europe as soon as satisfactory
estimates are received.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 31. Cherlf

Kruger of the high esteem in which ho

old patriot, whoso noble devotion to the

the Prince of Orange, Mr. Kruger waa
visibly affected. He sold he well knew
he had many warm friends in America

respondent of the Daily Mall, that Mr,
Kruger's visit to the United States has
been absolutely decided upon. It probably

with respect to the conduct of military
operations in South Africa, intelligence
of the doings of the Rand mining com
panies comes to hand In driblets, says the

WASHINGTON, July 31. Arturio D. De
Brlgard, the Colombian Consul-General
at New York, is in the city In consulta
tion with the. officials of the Colombian
Legation. In regard to the situation In
Colombia, and especially with reference
to the seizure of Murrlllo, one of the"alds
of General Urlbe-Urlbe, the revolutionary
leader, at Cartagena, Colombia, some
time ago. According to the officials at
the legation, the passport with which
Murrlllo wac armed stated specifically
ihe peaceful mission upon which he was
Journeying. The officials do not believe
his seizure will give rise to a diplomatic
Incident with Germany.
The officials at the legation scout the
Idea that General Uribe-Uribe has In
vaded Colombia with 15,000 men. They
know, however, that he has purchased
arms in Belgium; also, that he went to
Curacao, and from there to the Vene
zuelan frontier, whence he was to launch
his expedition. According to all the in
formation obtained here, however, and tha
Legation has news from the eat of gov

MORE LAND CLAIMS DRAWN
WHEELS IN OKLAHOMA RELIEVED
OF 4200 JNAMES.
Commissioner Richards Rales That
Negotiable Paper "Will Be Taken
for Town Lota.
EL RENO. O. T.. July 31, Two thou,
sand one hundred -names were drawn
from each wheel in the great United
States land lottery, today, making a grand
total of 8700. Tomorrow the list of prize
winners will be completed. The drawing
of numbers will continue on the platform
north of the Irving School building until
about 10,000 names for each land dis
trict have been drawn from the wheels,
making a total of 20,000 names. As there
are only about 13,500 claims in the. new
country, the drawing of 20,000 names will
go beyond the point where persons above
13,500 can get land. The remaining en
velopes will draw blanks, but as the Com
mission desires to Impress the country
with the fairness and honesty of the
drawing, every one of the 165,000 envelopes

to homesteads, however, have been ex
hausted, the work that follows will be
merely perfunctory, and will be done aa
Tapldly as possible in some building,
Each person who registered at El Reno
or Lawton will receive a postal card
showing the number of his Identification
card as it came from the wheel. The
commissioners of the drawing are notify
ing by postal card each person who draws
a number. The recipient must appear at
the office of his respective land district
and flle his entry.
Commissioner Richards relieved many
anxious questioners today by saying that
cash, meaning currency or coin money,
will not be necessary in the .purchase
-of town lots at Lawton, Anardark"o and
Hobart- The full amount of each pur
chase must be paid to the official con
ducting the sale at the time the purchase
ig made, and the collateral, offered must
be approved and accepted by the locaj
banks on the townslte. Of course, the
sale will be turned down, if the banker
rejects the collateral offered by the pur
chaser, and the lot will be offered again
for sale.
This concession by Commissioner Rich
ards will be a great relief to persons who
believed it would be necessary to carry
upon their persons the money requisite
for the purchase of lots. The danger of
robbery would have been great, and It
is possible that many persons would have
been injured or killed in holdups.
SCHLEY LETTER RECEIVED.
He Mnlces Suffocations RepardipK
the Court of Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, July 31. It was an
nounced at the Navy Department today
that the letter of Rear-Admiral Schley
acknowledging the receipt of the precept
to the Court of Inquiry and making cer
tain suggestions with reference thereto
had at last been received. No explanation
of the delay In It? arrival and no state
ments of its contents were furnished.
Judge Advocate Lemley departs on his
annual leave Saturday, and the supposi
tion is that Rear-Admiral Schley's letter
will be considered and acted on before
that time.
SCHLEY BRAVE AtfD COMPETENT.
Opinion of Captain Moreu, Who Com
manded the Cristobal Colon.
.BW YORK, "July 31. The Madrid rep
"csentatlve of tho Journal and Advertiser
ha3 obtained an interview from Captain
Diaz Moreu, who commanded the Cristo
bal Colon during the naval conflict off
Santiago. Says Captain Moreu In refer
ence to the movements of Admiral Schley;
"All the American officers, without ex
ception, did their duty in the naval battle
off Santiago. It Is absurd and unpatriotic
to make any exception In the case Qf Ad
miral Schley. The Brooklyn was In the
thickest of the fight throughout. She was
at thp mouth of the harbor when we
tried to pass out, and engaged us in a
terrific fire, ijolng frightful damage in
the end. In the pursuit of the Colon we
surrendered to the Brooklyn 45 miles west
of Santiago. The "Brooklyn landed a sh?l
just ahead of my ship, and. with the
Oregon helping her, there wa3 nothing left
for me to do but run ashore.
"I should say that Schley was pot only
brave, but very competent, as is Samp
son, whom I know personally, I don't
know Schley. Schley directed that our
officers retain their personal effects. A
coward Is never generous. The suggestion
of cowardice probably comes from cow
ards. "I have read in El Mundo Naval that
this attack upon an honorable naval officer
has a low political basis. The navy
should be left outside of politics."

Americans After English Railway.
LONDON, Aug. 1. Mr. Langer, a share
holder of some magnitude In the South
eastern Railway, announced at the half
yearly meeting yesterday that an Ameri
can syndicate desires a 40-yearloase of
ihe line, and was ready to deposit 1,000,
000 as 'a guarantee of a 3 per cent dividend
during the first year, and ultimately a 5
nftr r.ftnt dividend. The statement was
.1 i i a nil y ' m" i , , i I ! I III '
made after the chairman of the company
had reported that no dividend could be
paid this -year; that the accounts showed
a deficiency, and it. was necessary to Is
sue additional stock to the amount of
1,666,000. This issue was authorized. Mr.
Langer caustically commented upon a
state of affairs showing no dividend after
65 years of working. Although nothing
was done with reference to the proposal
announced by Mr. Langer, the latter, af
ter the meeting, told a representative of
the Dally Mail that the last had not been
heard of it.

As to tho declaration of principles, It

HE WAS TO KILL THE CZAR
NEW JERSEY ANARCHIST ARREST-
El3 IN SWITZERLAND.
Information Was Supplied From
Paterson, "Where the Plot
Was. Laid.
ZURICH. Switzerland, July 31. An an
archist named Galliottl was arrested at
Viedikon last night by order of the Prcse-cutor-General
on Information received
from Paterson, N. J. Many documents
were found at his lodgings.
WAS TO KILL THE CZAR.
Gnlllottc Left the United States for
This Pnrposc.
PATERSON. N. J.,' July 31. Inquiry
among the members of the anarchist
group in this city In regard to the man
arrested at Zurich reveals the fact that
a man named Amlel Garriottl was form
erly connected with the anarchists here,
and was well known among them. He
was employed as a weaver In the Paragon
Silk Mill, In this city. 'It was stated to
day by a member of the group that Gol
Hoppl sailed away with Brescl, Lannl
and Quantivallo, when they departed on
their mlbsion of assassination. Galliottl
had been selected by the anarchists to
kill Nicholas, Czar of Russia, and had ac
cepted the mission. He was known as a
determined man, and one that would be
likely to take desperate chances in ac
complishing his purpose.
He I a Fiery Anarchist.
NEW YORK, July 31. It developed to
night that Gnlllotti's name was connected
With the story which was circulated
months ago in Paterson that King Hum
btrt's death was sought by anarchists. At
that time Careno Fosslnni, foreman In a
dye wcrks at Paterson, was shot and
killed by Gulseppl Sperenzl. The Jatter
was cornered, and when the. police were
closing In upon him he shot himself. A
letter found on him told of the plot to
kill Humbert. It called on Sperenzl to act
as one of 27 men to leave this country to
wreak vengeance on the crowned heads of
Europe. A few weeks afterwards King
Humbert was assassinated. It Is not said
that the letter found on Sperenzl was
signed by Galliottl. It has always been
asserted that Sperenzl's killing of the
foreman was to make up for his refusal
to be one of thosi to go to Europe.
It Is recalled that Galliottl, when ho
lived In Paterson, had one pet scheme,
and this he was ever preaching to his
countrymen. This was the draining of the
Hackensack Meadows, and the building
thereon of a city, the Inhabitants of which
would be devoted to the cause of an
archism. But no money was ever forth
coming to carry out the Idea.
Ernesta Carvallo, whose devotion to
the cause is openly avowed, left Pater
son today for New London, Conn., to
visit her brother. Before going she de
nied all knowledge of Galliottl. '
THE PARIS SWINDLE.
Methods Employed to Fleece a Num
ber of Prominent Men.
NEW YORK, July 31.-The Herald pub
lished additional ' details concerning tho
swindlers In 'Pails, who won huge sums
at cards and on the race track, owned a
fine yacht and lived at fashionable clubs.
According to the Paris correspondent of
the Herald, the Figaro gives full partic
ulars under the title "Page From Gabo
rjau." A brother of a prominent Abyssinian
explorer, who called himself "Comte de
L," was In reality not a Count. The only
title he possesses Is that of "Dedjas,"
admitting that the Negus really gave him
that. Another of the gang, born In Rus
sia, the Baron de C, calls himself an
aide-de-camp of Menellk. The third,
styled the Prince de M., says he was
made a Prince by the Negus.
French nobility " vas represented by
Baron de L., whose real name is Juliep,
and who Is the son of peasants in the
south of Frar.ce. There was also a Pole,
M. de K who has been expelled from
all the gambling halls of Paris. The
banker of the gang was a Belgian, M. de.
M., director of a shady financial com
pany, who had offices In the Opera quar
ter and oocuplcd in the Champs EJyssee
an apartment renting for 14.090 francs
Thve favorite method of the swindler
was to use marked cards. They would
entertain their dupes at fashionable res
taurants. When their victims were with
out money they were made to sign bills.
PrlnCe de M. often gave parties Jn one
or the other of his apartments In the Rue
Vlgnon, or the Avenue d'Lena.
The gang had also founded In the Med

BRODRICK IS RIDICULED.
London Pnpers Do Not Have to Bribe
Clerks to Get Boor War News.
NEW YORK, July SL-DIscussIng the
controversy between Mr. Brodrlck and
the London- Dally Mall, the London cor
respondent of the Tribune, says: There
IS no new phase In Mr. Brodrick's sin
gular attempt to discipline newspapers
suspocted of obtaining the secrets of the
War Office by improper means. The law
arms him with full resources for punish
ing not only clerks betraying the confi
dence of the department, but also those
who hire him to do it. Those conversant
With the ordinary procedure of the War
Office are amused at Mr. Brodrick's
disingenuous effort to discredit his own
staff by charging certain newspapers
with corrupting clerks with moderate In
comes. The real source of leakage Is well
known. Whenever important dispatches
are held over in the War Office for 24
or 48 hours, "thera Is gossip among mili
tary men, who receive their cues from
high officials. Confidential matters,
which are whispered in the military clubs,
soon reach tho ears of tho Journalists,
and find their way Into print. This Is
tho natural explanation of many disclos
ures which Mr. Brodrlck attributes to
bribery on the part of the newspapers.
The best safeguard against the leakage
would be the Immediate publication of
the bulletins received from South Africa
before ihe higher officials themselves
have a chance to talk about them. It is
one of the requirements of red tape that
nothing shall bo published from the
War Office without tho direct sanction of
the Secretary of War. This Is a common
cause of delay, sinco he cannot be con
sulted readily , at all times. , Mr. Brod
rlck has brought himself into ridicule by
Ms credulous and irrational conduct in

so many people of high' and low station,

The .following letters from pastors who
use Peruna speak for themselves:
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, of Greensboro, Ga.,
writes:
"My little boy had been suffering for
some time with catarrh of the lower bow

congestlve chills and was almost dou',
as soon as able to be about. I commenced
