COMPROMISE BARRED
Millionaire Morgan Says Trnst
Will Concede Nothing.
DENIES RUMOR OF SETTLEMENT
Battle Between Labor and Capital
Must Be Fought Out to Bitter
End—Both Sides Are
Firm.
A New York special says: J. P- Mor
gan gave positive denial Friday to ru
mors that the steel strike had been set
tled. He made this statement to the
Associated Press:
“There Is not a word of truth in It.
There has been no settlement and
there can be no compromise on such a
question. The position of the operat
ing companies ts perfectly simple and
well understood and, so far hs 1 am
concerned, has my unqualified ap
proval.”
Mr. Warner Arms, vice president of
the American Tin Plate Company,
made the following statement Friday
to a representative of the Associated
Press:
"Mr. Shaffer wants these companies
to sign for all the non-union mills. A
wage agreement is a contract entered
into voluntarily between two or more
persons representing certain interests.
Mr. Shaffer has no right to ask these
companies to sign an agreement with
him for persons he does not represent.
These companies are not antagonistic
to labor and have proved it by entering
into wage agreements in the past with
Mr. Shaffer for those that he repre
sented. This year the American Tin
Plate Company entered into an agree
ment for one year from July 1st, but
Mr. Shaffer violated that agreement by
calling out the men on a sympathetic
strike when they had no grievances.”
No Change In Situation.
A Pittsburg dispatch says: The
strike situation cannot lie termed ma
terially changed. Many rumors arc
in the air to the effect that a settle
ment of the trouble is imminent, but
none of these reports have been veri
fied. At the offices of the Carnegie
company and at, the headquarters of
tho manufacturers the nsual silence is
preserved
President Shaffer, of the Amalgama
ted Association, expresses his enure
satisfaction with the progress of the
battle, and says tho workers have
gained steadily, while the manufactur
ers have lost continually since the
strike began. He says up to the pres
ent the Amalgamated Association
forces contemplate no change in their
programme, being fully satisfied with
the showing their people have made.
President Shaffer says the advance in
wages offered the tube mill workers
at McKeesport Friday, while seeming
ly large, will not bring the pay up to
the union scale.
Commencing in a day or two. weekly
bulletins will be issued from Amalga
mated headquarters to give the work
ers and strikers official news of tho
exact condition of strike affairs.
From ths storm center at Wellsvllle,
O.. comes word that the striking mill
men in that vicinity spent an uneasy,
restless day.
The American Sheet Steel Company
has many of the town’s largest nier
chants back of it in its fight against
the workmen, the merchants fearing
that if the present trouble goes along
much further the Wellsville plant will
be moved across the line into Pennsyl
vania. Grocers, clothing men and oth
ers are trying to show the strikers that
they are wrong and foolish in keeping
up the fight.
Ex-Senator Pugh Improving,
Former Senator Pugh, of Alabama,
who has been critically ill in Washing
ton, has improved considerably. His
physician now believes the senator has
a god chance of recovery.
Lives of Boers Are Saved. j
Advices from Cape Town state that
Lord Kitchener has committed the se:i- j
tenre of death passed on tliirty-rour
Boer prisoners to penal servitude for
life at Bermuda.
FIREMEN LOSING GROUND.
Strike Seems Ineffective, as Many
Mines Are In Full Operation.
A special from Wilkesbarre, p a
.,
says: More mines were in operation
and more coal was hoisted in the Wyo
ming Valley Friday than any day since
the stationary firemen's Btrike began.
Despite any action that may be taken
hy” the officers of the United Mine
Workers' Association, the fact cannot
be denied but that the United Workers
as a body are anxious to get back to
work. How long they can be kept out
by the executive heads is entirely
problematic.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Trail Struck By Detectives In the Mint
Shortage at ’Frisco.
The work of counting the gold coin
in the mint at San Francisco has been
completed by the experts In charge.
The amount Inspected and weighed
was $37,140,000. The coin was found
intact to the dollar and has now been
checked three times, by as many dif
ferent sets of men, so that there is
no possibility of error. The comple
tion of the count sets at rest the the
ory that the recent shortage of $30,000
at the mint was the result of a mis
count. Nothing whatever was dis
closed by the secret service agents or
Superintendent Leach In the search.
Director Roberts, Superintendent
Leach and Secret Service Agent Ha
zcn were closeted for many hours Fri
day with Walter Dimmick, the chief
clerk of the mint.
The Investigation into the life led by
Dimmick in the last year was resumed.
Information has been secured hy Se
cret Service Agent Hazen that Dim
mick. though a married man, has been
most attentive to a charming widow',
and that her tastes were most extrav
agant.
A significant happening In connec
tion with the robbery from tho mint
is that the "woman In the rase" sud
denly left her lodgings on Powell
street on Tuesday, July 3rd, and tho
next day Dimmick, it Is claimed, went
to a newspaper office and gave out the
story of the robbery.
The investigating officers are of the
opinion that but for the publicity giv
en to the robbery the thief would have
been caught In a trap that was pre
pared for him.
The woman with whom Dimmick is
supposed to have been most friendly
is well known in political circles In the
city. It.. estigation shows that she has
moved from one address to another in
the last year and that she was always
disinclined to tell where she lived.
DEATH ENDED CRUISE.
Pleasure Yacht Capsizes and Five On
Board Are Drowned.
A special from New Haven, Conn.,
says: Five persons were drowned In
the sound Thursday afternoon by the
capsizing of the yawl rigged yacht
Venltza, of Philadelphia, at a point
five miles east, of Sandy Point, near
the New York and Connecticut line.
Two only of those on board the yacht
were rescued. The drowned are:
Arthur C. Colburn, a wealthy spice
manufacturer of Philadelphia and own
er of the yacht : Ida and Annette Col
burn, his daughters: Captain Flint, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., and a sailor, name un
known,
The others on board the 111 fated
craft, Mis. Walter T. Hpranke, of Phil
adelphia, and daughter of the ownrr
of the yacht, and the steward, .lamps
Sandrldge, of New York, were rescued
by the tug Gertrude, after dinging for
two hours to the bottom of i capsized
longboat.

Alleged Conspiracy to Install Prince
Louis Napoleon As Emperor.
The Pali Mall Gazette (London)
prints a communication from its Paris
correspondent giving circumstantial
details of an alleged conspiracy to
overthrow the French republic and in
stall Prince Louis Napoleon as em
peror.
The correspondent 1s assured that
September 14th, on which date the
czar intends to promote Prince Louis

who is such a close friend of their
Russian ally, by all the elements op
posed to the present regime.

PACIFICATION A MYTH
Military Rale Re-Establishi d In
Three Philippine Provinces.
CIVIL COMMISSION POWERLESS
This Move Places General Chaffee In
Higher Authority Than That
Exercised by Gov
ernor Taft.
A Manila special says: The United
1 States civil commission announced
Thursday that after three months' trial
of a provincial form of government In
the Islands of Cebu and Bohol and the
province of Batangaa, Luzon. cotMiol
of these districts, owing to their la
complete pacification, ban been re
turned to the military authorities, It
having been proved that the communi
ties are backward and undeserving; of
civil administration. The provisional
and civil officials continue their func
tions, but are cow under the authority
of General Chaffee Instead of that of
Civil Governor Taft, as heretofore.
General Chaffee has tho power arbitra
rily to remove from office any or nil
provisional or civil officers and to ab
rogate any section of the laws pro
mulgated In these provinces.
The residents of the Island of Cehii
have protested, but without success,
against the return of that island to
snllltary control. Several towns In
Cebu ure still besieged by the insur
gents. The Insurrection on the island
of Poliol has been renewed and insur
gent sentiment in the province of Ha
tangas is strong.
General Chaffee has ordered a bat
talion of t.lio Thirtieth Infantry to be
gin the occupation of the island of Min
doro. The province of Batangas will
be occupied by the entire Twentieth
Infantry.
II. Phelps Whltmarsh, governor of
nenguel province, who was recently
ordered to Manila for Investigation of
certain charges against hint, presented
his side of the case to the United
States Philippine commission at their
executive session Thursday. Mr. Whit
marsh denied every churge made
against him. The commission's decis
Ion will be made known Saturday.
OLD MAN ADMITS GUILT.
English Peer Confesses to Having Two
Spouses and Receives Sentence.
A London special says: Earl Rus
sell, arraigned at the bar of the house
of lords Thursday for trial on the
charge of bigamy, pleaded guilty after
long arguments against Jnrlsdlct Ion of
the court.
The trial was carried on with all
the (piaint. middle age ceremonies.
The arguments lasted one hour, noth
the earl and Countess Russell (Mrs.
Somerville), through their counsel,
pleaded they did not know they were
doing wrong, hut had acted on the best
legal advice obtainable In Nevada.
The peers reached their decision af
ter consideration of ths case lasting
twenty minutes. Earl Russell was sen
tenced to three months’ Imprisonment
as a first-class misdemeanant.
The benches reserved for peresses
were amply filled, while the spaee al
lotted to distinguished strangers was
rrowdrrl with diplomats and their
families, including United States Am
bassador Choate.
After the reply of the prosecution
to the argument of eoiinsel for his de
fense, Earl Russell, In a vole, audible,
pleaded guilty. His counsel then ad
dressed the house In mitigation, plead
Ing that, the accused had acted upon
the best legal advice obtainable In Ne
vada, that the offense was merely tech
nical and that no harm had been done
Mollie Cor i:e.
Lord Russell then addressed the
house and said he proposed to re-mar
ry Mollie Cooke at an early time. The
judges ruled that. King Edward had a
right to legislate for his subjects all
over the world, but their lordships,
not desiring to inflict the full penalty
upon Lord Russell, had unanimously
decided that Justice would be satisfied
by his being Imprisoned In Holloway
prison for three months ns a criminal
in a first division.
