MUCH INTERESTED
Want to Know Wliat Ha3 Be
come of Money.
Men Wli^O'ere Peremptorily Dismiss-
e<Nui Saturday Must He 1’ut Buck
to Work Before Negotiations For
Settlement Will He Considered.
Pittsburo, July 8.—The peremptory
dismissal ou Saturday of 13 members of
the Amalgamated association at the
Wellsville plant of the American Steel
Sheet company may serionsly ufTect the
expected settlement this week of the
iron and steelworkers.
When 6eeu this morning, President
Shaffer of the Amalgamated association
was very mncli exercised oyer the turn
affairs had taken.
‘•I cannot say when or where tho con
ference will take place,” said he, “but
one tiling is certain: there will be no
conference until the discharged men ut
Wellsville ore reinstated. These men
came to us. They violated no law of
the laud, and we shall protect them. If
they are not reinstated and the con
ference is postponed, the general strike
will come. This is a repetition of
what the sheet manufacturers did
last year. They signed the scale for
Saltsburg and old Meadows and then
stole these mills from us. Tho uieu at
Wellsville have been organized for
mouths. I sent word for them uot to
come out. as 1 wanted a peaceable set
tlement. I do not blamo the chief^offi-
oials. As usual, the trouble comes from
some middleman, who cannot realize
that he may be undoing the conserva
tive work of thoughttul men of both
sides or that his action may involve the
commercial world.”
A wailing tho Word.
Although as yet no word has been re
ceived officially by tho officers of the
Amalgamated association from tho
American Steel Sheet compauy und the
American Steel Hoop company, request
ing that the wage conference be reopen
ed, it is expected that such a note would bo
received during the day. If the Wells-
ville matter can be settled, the confer
ence will then, it is believed, be quick
ly arranged, an agreement reached and
the strike declared off beforo the end of
the week.
There was a resumption of work In
many iron and steel mills today. Tho
mills have been idle for two weeks for
repairs. It is supposed that fully 13,-
000 men returned to work today.
Scale 1. Signed.
The concerns which signed tho Amal
gamated scale today were the Stamiurd
Chain company, Columbus, O.; Niles
Iron and Sheet compauy, Niles, O.;

ed to lie Unavailable For Use Ex
cept at Great Sucrllice#
Chicago, July 9.—Behind closed ami
carefully guarded doors the supremo
lodge, Knights of Pythias, today met
here in special session, to consider the
alleged injudicious handling of the
funds of the Endowment rank of the
order.

are said to be intensely interested iu the
outcome of the investigation, a report of
which will be made during the present
meeting by President O. F. S. Neal of
the lx :ml of control of tho Endowment
rank.

It is said that $500,000, tho entire
fund of the endowment rank, may bo
so badly handled during the past few
years that it is unavailable for use ex
cept at a great sacritico. Meanwhile
the death rato has increased to such an
extent that the rank is $100,000 behind

SENTIMENT IN CUBA.
Concerulug Recent Utterances of Go
mez and Palina.
N«w Yoi:k, Jnly 0.—According to
The Herald’s correspondent at Havana,
the utterances of General Maximo Go
mez and T. Estrada Palma iu tho
United States concerning the annexa
tion of Cuba to tho United States ore
criticised by many persons at the Cuban
capital The general understanding
seems to be that tho speakers referred
to tho distant future, after the re-estab
lishment of an independent government
aud after the pooplo of Cuba have had a
treo opportunity to express a desiro for
annexation.
Much of the spoechos of tho two men
is laid to the ordinary courtesy of
guests of Americans and to tho speak
ers’ desire to smooth over the reoent
difficulties when the Americans charged
ingratitudo aud Cubans charged vio
lation of promises aud the use of force.
Others beliovo that the ntterances
wero meant to prevent forciblo annexa
tion and also prevent bloodshed, and
proved that Cuba ’could voluntarily
drift to the United States after having
gained independence.

Preliminary Meetings of the
State Convention.
G0LDBUGS IN EVIDENCE
The Conservatives Are Likely to Con
trol the Entire Organization—They
Are lVith the McLean Men Against
the Johnson .Men.
Columbus, O., Jnly 9—Tliore is an
unusually largo attendance of visitor*
here for tho preliminary meetings of
tuo Democratic state convention. Tho
050 delegates aro accompanied by largo
delegations supporting different candi- 1
dates for the nominations for jndge
and clerk of the snpremo coart, attor-'
ney general, stata treasurer and' mem
ber of the board of pnblia works.
The nominaMons for governor and 1
lieutenant governor are the only ones in'
which there is uot a free-for-all raced
with many entries. Bat the large ate
tendance is largely dne to the reanion 1
of Democrats who bavo not been to
gether in Ohio since 18D9 Those who
have been called “Gold Democrats” are'
very largely represented, and many of
them have not attended their conven
tions in Ohio for years. Nearly all the
old leaders of this class are here, and 1
they aro given places of prominence oni
tho committees and in tho organization 1
generally.
Conservative Policy.
Whilo they consider the financial
question settled, they are actively co
operating with those who are botug de
nominated tho "conservatives" in op
posing any other so-calleil isms that 1
they claim will handicap the party as it’
has been handieappod by certain alii-,
anccs in the past. They are with the'
McLean men as against the Johnson;
mon in tho proposed “new doparturo”
of the latter ou taxation, municipal'
ownership, etc. They are bitterly op
posed to the insular policy of the nation
al administration and to the prepent
state administration, and want all the
Democrats in Ohio to gather for the
E nrpose of securing control of the legis-
iture as well as of the electing of the'
state ticket and to elect a United States
senator.
At tho conferences this morning it;
was evident that tho conservatives'
wonld control the 31 congressional dis-'
trlcts this afternoon and have all thd
committees which meet tonight to pro-'
pare their reports for the convention to
morrow morning.
Nome Local Fights.
' Thera was mncli hustling for mem
bers of the committee on credentials on
account of local fights iu some counties,
notably Montgomery, Batlerand Union.
Tho stnto committee and the comtpfittee
on resolutions will be easily in the
hands of tho conservatives before the
district meetings are held, bat there is'
no friction.
Every effort seemed to have been
made for harmony by the'conservatlves,
but they insisted ou harmony being se
cured without any compromise with
what they termed as "new ideas,” "ex
periments," "experiences," etc.
