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.

THURSDAY, JULY 25. litOl. 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.

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.

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.

Lord Russell then addressed the house and said he proposed to re-mar ry Mollie Cooke at an early time. The judges ruled that.
