Answer to Shaffer's Genera
Strike Order
SIXTYTHOllSAND Mlil NOW OUT
Leaders of ihe Atnalgetinaled Asso
elation Disappointed Becaasc
There Was' Not a Fill
er Response.
PITTSBURG,tAus. 12.-The struggle for
mastery between manufacturers and men
in. the steel strike is now fairly launched,
Rnd on the first show of strength ad
vantage Is with the former. The general
Btrlke order Issued by President Shaffar,
of the Amalgamated Association, has o
far been obeyed by only about 14,000 men,
according to the best figures obtainable
here. The first two calls were answered
by about 45,000 men, so that the total num
ber now out is, in the neighborhood of
60,000. The strikers made gains here to
day over the showing of last night, and
their prospects for further accessions ut
both McKcesport and Wheeling during
the week are very favorable.
The action of the Amalgamated men at
Chicago, Jollct and Bayvlew in refusing
to come out, and their failure to secure
any recruits In the Carnegie group
throughout the Klsklminetas Valley, and
in the1 big plants at Youngstown and
Columbus, O., have been marked by dis
appointment to them. They are keeping
up the fight, however, in a spirited man
ner, and claim that they have strength
In reserve which will surprise their oppo
nents. They assert that they have gained
a foothold in the Carnegie mills In this
city, and at the time desired the men -will
come out. They are pressing their ad
vantages at McKeesport and Wheeling,
and their organizers are still at work in
those town. President Shaffer has decided
to visit Wheeling, and will o there
Wednesday to address a mass meeting of
his followers. He plans to spend tomor
row here directing the fight and confer
ring with his associates as to plans for
the future. An appeal for financial aid
has been made to organized labor and to
the general public, and It Is expected the
responses to It will be liberal
Shaffer Scores Western Men.
The Amalgamated leaders were not dis
posed to do much talking today. They
would not discuss the desertion of their
Western followers, although Mr. Shaffer
made what was evidently Intended for a
brief reference to them In a short state
ment he gave out at noon. Another dec
laiation In the same Interview was re
garded as highly significant here. It was
to the effect that no effort would be- made
to call out the members of the American
Federation of Labor, and that any action
on their ""part must "be voluntryIPre5
Ident Shaffer said:
"We have no official information about
the situation in the West. I do not be
lieve Vice-President Davis, of Chicago,
has accepted a superlntendency from the
trust, as reported. My only regret Is that
the men working In the slave pens of the
trust had not spirit enough to come out
and join the strikers. I will not take any
part In calling out the American Federa
tion of Labor. Its action must be volun
tary. The Amalgamated has not lost any
thing, but has made gains."
Secretary Williams said:
"I think the greatest surprise of the
strike will come to the steel officials when
they find we have Invaded the Carnegie
plants. We have reliable reports to the
effect that the lower city mill Is tied up,
and that but one mill In the upper plant
Is on. We have not made known our
plans, and still have some surprises for
the manufacturers."
The appeal for financial assistance was
prepared Friday last, but was hot sent
out until today.
Prom the Trust Standpoint.
The men who are directing the fight in
the field for the steel corporation and Us
constituent companies would give no in
dication as to their plans for the future,
and would only discuss the strike general,
ly. A statement, alleged to have been
given out officially by them at noon, was
repudiated later In the day, their reports
sh6wlng that the Carnegie group, South
Chicago, Bayvlew, Jollet, Youngstown,
Columbus, the Klsklminetas Valley group,
Wellsvllle and Monessen were moving
along full handed. Bellalre, their advices
showed, was badly crippled, but had held
on until 5 o'clock In the afternoon, and
would be started up again tomorrow.
They admitted the loss today of the Na
tional rolling mill, at McKeesport, which
they expected to hold, and that the Boa
ton, mill and Monongahela steel works,
at McKeesport, and the Republic and
Elba here were tied up. Their tubework
ers at McKeesport and here were still at
work, but were menaced by a possible
shortage of material. Their tubemen at
Wheeling were out, but the furnace and
coke men there are at work, and their
steel men there showed an inclination to
stay on unless Intimidated. They also
claimed that many of their men at Mc
Keesport desired to work, but were being
terrorized by the disorderly element. They
also charged that many of their men
were being frightened from their places at
Wheeling, and insisted that adequate pro
tection for the men there would insure
continued operations. It was also stated
by the steel officials that Clark's mill
here was moving along with Its nonunion
crews engaged last week, and that an
other mill manned by Amalgamated men
had started up at Wellsvllle, representing
a gain of one since Saturday.
Officials of the National Tube Com
pany and Mayor Black clashed today
over the question of protection for non
strikers and property. A large crowd of
strikers assembled around the works this
morning and their pickets intercepted the
workers on their way to the mills. There
was somo excitement and mill officers,
claiming that their men were being
threatened and in danger of violence,
called on Mayor Black to protect them.
The Mayor said that he would only In
terfere to stop actual rioting and assault.
Two other appeals were made to him
later in the morning, but he Insisted that
there was no danger of an outbreak.
Another crowd gathered at noon when
the tube men were leaving the plant and
although the workers were jeered, no
violence was offered. The strikers say
that It Is only a question of time when
material will give out and. the tube men
must quit. Otherwise It Is believed that
there will be trouble In McKeesport.
Reports from Wheeling and Bellalre in
dicate that there may be trouble at those
points. At the latter place, an attempt
Is to be made to keep the plant In oper
ation. The mill officials say that if the
men who did not go out are Interfered
with, they will ask for the State Militia
to protect them.
At Wheeling reports that men were
to be Imported have brought out crowds
bent on preventing their admission, and
It is nredlcted that there will be serious
1 -dashes there before the strike is set-
uea. aiost or. the strike centers, and
Pittsburg in particular, are very orderly,
however. The strikers at Canal Dover,
O., have had "men watching the mills Blnce
2 o'clock, this jnornlng on the strength of
a repdrt that nonunion workers were to
be brougb-t there. Superintendent Har
ris, of the tlnplate mill, has notified
the men that uTaless the plant Is reopened
within a reasonable time, he has orders
to commence dismantling it,
The executive committee of the Amal
gamated. Association will probably make
arVexhaustive Investigation of the action
-taken by the lodges at South Chicago,
Bay View and Joliet In refusing to Join
the strike. A radical element in the local
lodges bitterly denounces the Western
members and insists that there was
something irregular about the matter. It
1b claimed that a canvass made a week
ago, showed a majority in favor of
striking, and that no explanation of the
change of front has been made. Presi
dent Shaffer refrains from any direct
criticism of the action of the Western
men, but it la knefcrn he deeply regrets
the loss of- their support. He says that
he will await official reports before act
ing, and that he van do nothing until
he returns from Wheeling. He is to be
accompanied to Wheeling by Rev. Charles
H. Fltzwlillams, of Atlantic City, who
will also address the strikers. The two
were close friends when the strike
leader was in the ministry.
Withdrawing: Bank Deposits.
No attempt has been made as yet to
put in operation the plan of -withdrawing
savings deposits. The suggestion
aroused great Interest, particularly In
banking circles, and many bankers not
connected with the larger Industrial com
bination? have protested against it,
President Shaffer said tonight that ho
had not sent out the circular dealing
with the matter. He said:
"I have the circular in my pocket still,
and the matter is under consideration. I
am aware that there are banks which
have no connection with the trust or its
interests. There are things to be consid
ered which make it necessary to stop any
action for the present. On general lines,
hpwever, the matter Is perfectly reason
able. Why should our people put money
In the banks to be loaned to the trust to
carry on their business of destroying us?"
Reports from Lorraine say that the
mills are working as usual, and that there
Is no prospect of trouble. Mingo Junc
tion reports that there may be an early
attempt to start the National Steel plant
there with nonunion men. Altoona wires
that the seven-inch mill of the American
Steel Hoop Company, at Duncansvllle,
which haa been Idle for months, will be
started tomorrow', and that the prospect
of trouble In the mills there is slight. The
Oil City plant of the National Tube Com
pany Is moving without trouble.
It Is rumored that an attempt will be
made at once to reopen the Crescent plant
of the American Tin Company at Cleve
land. Four skilled men from the Mon
essen works are said to havo left there
for Cleveland this afternoon, and others
are to be obtained In this state and Ohio.
An effort Is also to be made to start up
the Humbert plant of tho American Tln
plate Company at South McConnellsville.
If the effort falls, this plant will be one
of those dismantled and consolidated with
Monessen.
Two men "who claimed that they were
.seeking work wcrs ordered out of Mc-"KfeespdrtrsiTsplcloaclfaactgrH-
today?
They Insisted that they -weer not va
grants, but had. come to town to work.
The police decided they must leave, how
ever. Discussing his stand on the question of
police protection, Mayor Black said today:
"As long &s there Is no disorder, I have
no right to Interfere. I thought today
that If the company had the right to oo
cupy two of the principal streets of the
city, the men had a right to stand on the
sidewalks as long as they were orderly.
I will maintain order here."

able tonight the following table shows
the strikers and those likely to be Idle:

Two hundred and flrty butt-welding

great butt-welding department of the
National Tube Works at McKeesport.
Fully 2CO0 men will be forced to quit
work and the entire department, consist
of 4800 employes, is expected to be Idle.
The boys came out against the wishes of
the Amalgamated officials and Organizer
Sharp tried In vain to persuade the boys
to go back. The young follows are turb
ulent and It was their strike that began
the great strike and riots of 1894.
Twelve mills were started at Wellsvllle
today, making a gain of one mill since
Saturday. The additional crew was
made up of old men who were members
of the Amalgamated Association.
The Amalgamate! Association failed to
make good Us threat to stop the upper
and lower Union mills this morning. At
9 o'clock this morning the mills seemed
to be working full and the management
wore satisfied smiles. The strikers had
claimed that they had 60 men In line In
tho Twenty-ninth-street or lower Union
mills, who, by staying out, would block
the entire plant. At the upper mill In
Thirty-third street there was literally no
opposition to the men going back to
work. The Amalgamated people had not
expected to make a fight here, as there
were but two Amalgamated men In the
mill.
The Clark mill was reported running
the same as last week this morning. The
strikers are keeping way from the plant
and the furnacemen at the Labell Steel
Works, Allegheny, have voted one day's
pay every two weeks to aid the strikers.
The Chartiers Rolling Mill, at Carnegie,
did not resume today, as none of the em
ployes came to work. All was quiet and
the furnaces were out.
At the Duncansville plant of the Ameri
can Hoop Company no attention was pafil
to the strike order. The seven-inch mill,
which has been Idle all Summer, resumed
In full this morning and was manned by
skilled workers, said to have been sent
from this city.
The Canton, O., rolling mill, closed.slnce
the first order, Is still Idle. The men say
they will not r.eslst the importation of new
men, but do not expect them.
The men of the sheet mill and tlnplate
plant at Cambridge, O., 800 In number,
have gone out.
No Trouble nt Monessen.
The trouble anticipated at Monessen this
morning did not come and the large plant
of the American Tin Plate Company there
was In full operation today. Both slues
claim control. The strike leaders planned

some. But, the easy and graceful lines of
.a racing yacht aboye , the water line are
not the 'factors that produce the speed
that wins "prizes, say the experts. It Is
the form of the craft below the water line
the shape of the under body, In fact
that does successful work In the way of
"lifting" cups
That the Shamrock II is by far the
handsomest and most graceful yacht that
has ever challenged for the America's cup
must be conceded by all. She easily out
classes the first Shamrock. The Sham
rock I had an ugly, coarse bow that used
to pound and batter the water whenever
the slightest semblance of a hard sea was
raised. The bow of the Shamrock II
reminds one of that of the Columbia. It
has vast penetrating power, and will di
vide the water with ease. The whole
forebody of the challenger shows a clever
adaptation and skillful modification of
the forward sections of all the good parts
of the Watson and Fife and Herreshoff
creations. The stern, too, tapers beauti
fully. The graceful way. In which Mr.
Watson had disposed of the great beam
of the challenger, the factor which in
combination with her 90 tons of lead gives
her immense sall-carrylng power, Is In
deed a wonder of naval architecture. The
beauty of the lines and the facility of the
curves lead one to believe that "the under-
body has some surprises In store.
From the water line to the rail or,
rather, the covering board, for rail she
has not the Shamrock II has all the at
tributes of a racing yacht. She will cut
the water clearly, and she will leave little
fuss behind. That Is all that can be pre
dicted of a boat whose mysteries of under
body have been concealed from the vulgar
gaze. When she was launched a pontoon
disguised her. Ever since efforts have
been made to hide her from profane vi
sion. There are a few things, however,
that cannot be hidden. She has the same
powerful bowsprit fittings that character
ized the two Valkyries, the same dock
purchases for flattening In sheets, the
same turn buckles for setting up the
standing rigging that have been features
of the Watson boats from the day of the
Thistle down to date. She steers with a
tiller, and, from all that can be gath
ered from the conservative men aboard
her. she Is an excellently balanced boat,
always under her helmsman's control, and
never showing a tendency to take charge
of herself In a brisk squall.
Captain Sycamore says she has been Im
proving all along. The skipper Is a mod
est man, and when the tug Lawrence
towed the Shamrock II Into Erie Basin at
a little after 4 o'clock this afternoon, a
big crowd welcomed the Irish yacht. Mr.
Barrle, who looks after Sir Thomas' In
terests, was In charge of her. Arrange
ments for taking out the jury masts of the
Shamrock were made for tomorrow morn
ing. Then the racing mast will be stepped
that gigantic spar, lower mast and top
mast combined the like of which never
before has been seen on a single-masted
craft. After this, the yacht will be put
Into drydock, and the accumulation of
seaweed and barnacles removed. Judg
ing from superficial observation, there Is
little marine growth on her hull. In her
starboard bow there Is a big patch where
the bright green paint of her top side
has slipped off as clear as though a sharp
scraper had been at work. Otherwise the
craft seemed to be clear.
The Jury rig, under which the yacht
cr6ssed. was evidently Intended for tow
ing. The gaff topsail, loose footed at that,
had very little putting power. The stump
topmast was only capable of setting a
mere rag of a sail, and the square sail
yard lashed on the port side of the deck
had never a sail bent to It. No bow
sprit and no jigger-mast were there to
offer obstacles to the crew. All sails were
set and taken In without difficulty.
After the steam yacht Erin has been
put In drydock, the Shamrock will be
hauled out for cleaning. Then, sna not
until then, will the shape ot the chal
lenger be revealed to the public eye.
Captain Hamltlon, navigating officer of
the Shamrock, stated to an Associated
Press representative that the yacht had
been towed about two-thirds of the way
from the Azores. Prevailing winds from
the south-southwest gave them a fair
wind all the way. They got into the tall
end of an easterly gale August 4, which
carried cway two topsail sheets. That
was the only mishap of the voyage. The
total length of the voyage was 3759 miles,
and the actual running time 14 days, 9
hours and 45 minutes.
Captain Sycamore, who is to have abso
lute charge of the Shamrock II in the
races, gave It as his opinion that the
Columbia is a better boat than the Consti
tution. "We know what the Columbia can do.
We pretty nearly know what is expected
from the Constitution. The latter has not
yet beaten the time of the Columbia on
an average og six minutes, and, speaking
for myself, I do not hesitate to say that
she must form that average throughout
If she Is to beat the new Shamrock."
Captain William Matthews, the com
mander of the Erin, said:
"We fear the Columbia more than we do
the Constitution. The limit has been
reached beyond any doubt, and few aboard
believe that the Herreshoffs have suc
ceeded ln making any great Improvement
upon the Columbia. The Constitution will
doubtless be selected to meet the Sham
rock II, because really she has not had
a fair test of her ability, and Is likely to
do better toward the end of the season.
Every big racing yacht does better her
second season or toward the end of the
first year. The Columbia is at her best

now. She will never again be as fast as
she Is now. It remains to be seen If the
Constitution can whip the Columbia re
peatedly and consistently in all kinds of
weather. Personally I doubt that she
can."
FUNERAL OF CRISPI.
Will Take Place nt Palermo Thurs
day. NAPLES, Aug. 12. Signora Crlspl has
received a telegram of condolence from
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena,
saying:
"Your husband was a venerable and val
iant patriot, and 'he will always be re
membered as one of the founders of Ital
ian unity."
The funeral will take place August 15,
and the interment will probably be In the
Pantheon of San Domenlcio, In Palermo.
The body of Slgnor Crispl was removed
tonight from the death-chamber to the
drawing-room, which had been converted
Into a chapelle ardente. It lies enveloped
In the flag of Garibaldi. A guard of vet
erans is In attendance, and the roads
leading to the residence are guarded by
troops to prevent crowds from approach
ing." The entire garrison of Naples will
participate in the funeral procession, and
the highest military honors'" will be ren
dered. In his will Crlspl requests that he be
burled without a religious ceremony, and
he declares that his patrimony and sav
ings were lost during the campaign for
liberation in Sicily and in the service of
his country.
Pope Prays for Crlspl's Soul.
ROME. Aug. 12. The Pope was informed
of the death of Slgnor Crlspl this morn
ing. He exclaimed:
"Providence has evidently decreed that
I shall be the last of my generation to
go. Well, Crlspl was a good fighter."
A few moments later the Pope was on
his knees, praying for the soul of his an
cient enemy.

had been appointed Commissioner-General
of Asia and Australia for the world's
fair. Mr. Barrett will either proceed di
rectly to the Orient at an early date for
a brief visit to the principal countries,
returning to America for the Interna
tional congress, and then go again to
the Orient, or he will wait until after the
opening of the congress and then go to
Asia to remain several months.
The Injunction proceedings to prevent
the use by the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition Company of Forest Park as a site
for the World's Fair to be held In this
'city in 1903, was knocked out today In the
Circuit Court by Judge Zachrltz, who sus

petition. The decision of the court is
based on the theory that Henry H.

were not proper 'parties to the suit.

Tho Navy Department has now definite
ly determined to make use of the battle
ship Iowa Instead of the Wisconsin on
the Pacific side of the Isthmus in cose
affairs become serious tlwre. The Iowa
Is the flagship of the Pacific station, and
as such flies the flag of Rear-Admiral
Silas Casey. At last reports received hero
the Admiral was on board the Iowa, hut
It Is harly probable that he will proceed
further south than Ban Francisco.
The gunboat Machlas has reached Nor

Mr. Heran, the Colombian Charge
d'Affalres at Washington, Is still In offi
cial Ignorance of the momentous events
which, according to the press reports, are
transpiring on the Isthmus of Pamma
and along- the Venezuelan border. He at
tributes his lack of information to a break
in cable communication with his country,
the line from Buena Ventura north hav
ing been reported to be In very bad work
ing order. Mr. Heran characterized the
situation In the south as most bewilder
ing. Tho official advices concerning the
probable withdrawal of the Colombian
Minister from Venezuela he regards as
significant, though he points out that the
report distinctly stated that Senor Rico,
the Minister there, had not demanded nor
had he been presented with his passports,
and thus the matter has been robbed of
the seriousness which would have been
given It by a step of this sort. Mr. Herin
will leave for New York Wednesday, to be
gone a week, on private matters. He ex
pects his official mall from Colombia to
morrow, and hopes this will enable him
moro correctly to gauge the situation In
this country.
