FIFTY THOUSAND WILL BE OUT No Agreement Reached at Pitts burg and Strike Orders Are Issued as a Result. The Joint conference committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and the Ameri can Sheet Steel Company, in session at Pittsburg Saturday, was unable to reach an agreement on the wage scale for the ensuing year and adjourned fi nally after a session of less tnan twen ty minutes. , The Amalgamated Association offi cials asked that the scale be signed for all the union mills, and the manufac turers presented a counter proposition not only refusing to sign for all tha union mills, but stipulating that two plants that were included .ast year be exempt from this scale this year. The conference then broke up and Presi dent Shaffer at once issued a strike order. The strike wil! involve all the union sheet mills in the country and about twenty thousand skilled work- men. Monday morning President Shaffer issued a second order calling out all union employees of the various mills Oi the American Steel Hoop Company, known as the hoop trust. It is estima ted that 15,000 men will be subject to the call, which, in connection with the big strike of the American Sheet Steel Company, ordered by President Shaf fer on Saturday, will affect 50,000 men. President Shaffer said Sunday night: “The impression that only the mills of the American Sheet Steel Company arc affected by the decision of Satur day is a mistake. The workmen of all mills in the American Steel Company arc interested and will ue officially no tified tomorrow morning that the scale has not been signed and they will quit work. To the well organized mills this notice will not be necessary, as the men will have watched the situation carefully, but what is known as open mills, where union men have been al lowed to work side by side with the non-union, is where we have to move. Union men must walk out of these open mills in the hoop trust. “The open mills to be notified are one at Hollidaysburg, Pa., three at Pittsburg and one at Honessen. The organized mills, which will close on our call, are the upper and lower mills at Youngstown, 0., Pomeroy, 0., Sha ron, Pa.. Girard, Pa.. Warren,, Pa., Greenville, Pa. This. I believe, will bring the number of men affected up to 50,000. “It is a matter of regret that the Is sue has been forced, but it now looks as though it will be a fight to the death. The Amalgamated Association is not unprepared for it. Wo have not had a general strike for many years, and in that time we have not been idle. We have funds and will use them. Right here I want to correct an im | pression which has been given out ] tliat no benefits will be paid strikers I until two months have elapsed. The I Amalgamated Association will begin at once to take care of its people.” Mr. Shaffer concluded by saying: “I will say now what I said to Mr. Smith, general manager of the Sheet Steel Company, in the conference. I said if it is to be a strike we will make it one to be remembered. The officials now dealing with t:s have but little idea of the extent to which this strike will go once it is on.” Mills Shutting Down. In order to take Inventory, the mills in Youngstown and in the Mahoning valley of the Republic Iron and Steel Company will close for two weeks. The mills here and at other points in the Mahoning and Sbennngo valleys, which are ownea by the American Steel Hoop Company, will remain idle pending a settlement of the scale question.

Party of Men and Boys at Chicago Sought Refuge From Heat In a Death Trap. ♦Crowded together in a little zinc lined stanty under a north shore pier of Lake Michigan ten boys and young men and one old man met instant death by lightning at Chicago Monday. They had left their fish lines and sought shelter from the fierce thunder storm that deluged the northern part of the city about 1 o’clock. Ten min utes later their bodies lay w'ith twisted and tangled limbs, “like a nest of snakes,” as the men who found them said. Twelve-year-old Willie Anderson was uninjured, but he lay many long minutes before he could be drawn out from the heap of bodies. The dead are all from the families of comparatively poor people, and comprised two men who wer- fishing ami seeking relief from the heat of the day, joined by a number of boys who had come to wade and swim on the beach. There were thirteen men and boys on the pier. They rushed for the only available shelter and crowded them selves in through the little trap door in the top of the cabin until they w r ere packed almost to a point of suffoca tion. Then came the thunderbolt. Percy Keane, a small boy watching from the water station, thought he heard a scream as the bolt struck. Mindless of the storm, he rushed across the beach. At the pier he heard a cry: “Help! Get me out!” He looked into the cabin, and in dis may saw the twisted bodies. Young Percy, crying, pulled at the dead men's arms and legs to get them awav. He saw Willie Anderson’s head and part of his body, but he could not pull him out, nor could he pull the heavy bodies from on top of him. Then young Keane telephoned to the police, who succeed ed, after a great deal of difficulty, in reviving young Anderson and recover ing the dead bodies of the others. ROADS TO CONSOLIDATE.

CROWDED CITIES LIKE FURNACE Mortality List at New York Goes Into the Hundreds—Other Large Cities Suffer. Monday was the hottest July Ist on record at New York, at 3:10 p. m. the thermometer at the weather office reached 98 degrees, one degree hotter than Sunday. The records show that on only two days in the last thirty years has a higher temperature been reached. These were July 9, 1876, and July 3, 1898. On these days the thermometer reached 99 degrees. The suffering in the city, particu larly in the crowded tenement house district, was most intense. As the day grew the deaths and prostrations in creased, and, although provision was made in all the hospitals for this emergency, the authorities were scarcely able to cope with the great tax made on their resources. Between 2 a. m. and midnight there we re reported fifty-seven deaths and 141 prostrations in the boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx. For the pre vious twenty-four hours twenty-one deaths and thirty-six prostrations had been reported in Brooklyn. If the heat was killing to mankind, it was worse on the horses. They drop ped right and left. At one time there were eight dead horses lying on Broad way between Twenty-third and Forty second streets. There were fourteen horses prostrated in the vicinity of Madison Square alone. The rush of the crowds to the parks and to the nearby seashore resorts Monday night was unprecedented in the history of the city. At 2 o’clock Tuesday morning the death record for the twenty-four hours ending at that time in Greater New York was eighty-seven; the prostra tions 183. For the previous five days, covering the heated term, the total deaths in the same territory were 136. At Newark the mercury touched 100 at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon. This was the maximum. The reported deaths were fourteen in and about Newark. At Philadelphia. Philadelphia and vicinity experienced the highest temperature recorded in that city Monday, the government thermometer on the top of the post office building, 170 feet from the street, registering 102 degrees even. At Cramp’s shipyard the prostrations were so numerous that the 5,000 men employed there were relieved from further duty at noon. At Baldwin’s lo comotive works, the Midvale Steel Works and numerous other places, scores of heat sufferers had to quit. Reports from all sections of the state show that the temperature was exceed ingly high; in some places the record w r as broken and in other places it was equaled. Up to midnight fourteen deaths were reported and upwards of 100 persons were treated at hospitals for heat exhaustion. Spell Broken at Cincinnati. The spell of torrid heat which had been in sway at Cincinnati during the past week and which left death and prostration in its wake was broken Monday evening by a squall. The storm came suddenly from the south east. and for a time the wind blew at a, rate of sixty miles an hour. This was followed by a thunder shower, and the thermometer dropped to 75. The maximum temperature during the day was 96 at the government station and 99 on the street. There were five deaths from heat. This makes seven teen deaths since the not spell began. There were numerous prostrations during the day and about twelve are now at the city hospital in a serious condition. • Fourteen Dead at Baltimore. According to weather bureau re ports Baltimore was the hottest city in the United States Monday. The weather bureau thermometer recorded *0 degrees at 5 a. m., and from that hour the mercury steadily mounted upward until 102 was reached at noon. Up to midnight fourteen deaths and twenty-eight prostrations had been re ported. Five at Chicago. Five persons dropped dead on the streets in Chicago Monday from heat, and fifteen others w T ere so badly over come that they had to be removed to hospitals. A number of prostrated are in a serious condition and may die. At noon the temperature in the w-eather bureau in the Auditorium tower was 93 and on the streets over 100. A severe thunder storm at 1 o’clock brought relief and the mercury dropped 20 de grees. GORMAN SENATORIAL CANDIDATE. .Maryland Statesman Announces For Re-Election Before Legislature.

T ' A GIGANTIC SURPLUS Is Shown In Revenue Receipts F 0 i the Fiscal Year Ended June 29th. The comparative statement of th government receipts and expenditure, . for the fiscal year ended last Satur oay wi;l show an excess of receip*. over disbursements of approximate S?C.Ot 0,000. This is ~ !y r.bout $4,000,000 below the estimate made by congress at the beginning of the last session in n, cember, 1900, at which time the seer! ’ tary estimated the receipts from cm toms would be about $245,000,000 The" receipts from internal revenue were estimated last December at S3OO. ’ 000,000, while the final figures will show over $307,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous sources were esU mated at §34,000,000. These will a i so show a considerable increase. The expenditures for the year will be $7,000,000 in excess of the esti mates. - During the fiscal year 1900 the surplus revenues amounted to nearly $24,000,000, while the surplus for the present year will reach $76,000,000, and possibly a still higher figure. In view of the fact that the revenue reduction bill passed at the last ses solon of congress went into operation Monday, treasury officials estimate that the loss from this source will be about $40,000,000. It is not expected, however, that the net reduction from this source will reach that amount, as the officials look torward to a year of even greater prosperity than the one just closing. If this expectation is realized the officials believe that the revenues from internal sources alone will be greater than $30,000,000 below the figures of the present year. It is also confidently expected that the re ceipts from customs will materially increase during the coming twelve months, so that, notwithstanding the reduction made in the last revenue bill, the total receipts from all sources may even reach or exceed those of the fiscal year 1901.
