aloax the line as viewed by the steel
officials.
The AmalKniated omVinls. hnwpver,
make the claim that everything is pro
fressiiiK satisfactorily and say thut much
ef the supposed adrantnije of the manu
facturers is Muff nud cannot he .made i
good. As nn instance they cite the Lind
say Ac MoCutcheon plant, where the
company claims to have as many men
at work as they can accommodate nnd
tnrninc out morchnntablc product. The
Amalgamated people claim that James
Hurley, vice president of the First dis
trict, visited the Lindsay & McCutcheon j
mill yiktcrday in the juise of a roller
seeking work. He made an inspection of
the mill, nnd, according to his report,
there are thirty men at work, six of
w hom are skilled. Tbe strikers also clnim
that at the Monessen plant the product
turned out last week amounted to 2.V),!hh ,
pound, wherens before the strike tho ,
daily output was 100,000 pounds.
It is reported thnt the strikers nt Pu- j
iuesne intend to mnke auother effort to j
close that plant by getting the open
hearth men out, but nothing definite on
the subject can be learned.
At Wheeling the strikers are holding .
theii own, and there is no indication of
an attempt to start any of the shutdown
plants. I
WollsTille reports no change. 1
The report fro-- ''anal Iuver is to the
effect that nlth"h District Manager
Cilne promised that four mills would be
fired up yesterday only one mill, n small
thirty-four Inch sheet mill, was fired.
The strikers claim this was caused by the
desertion of nine of the nonunion men,
who returned to Vandergrift, from which
place they came last Sunday. Mnnnger
Cline would make no statement except
to deny thnt there were any desertions

Over a large shnre of the exclusive
residence territory the wnter rushed with
terrific force, varying in depth from one
to six feet. Culverts, trestles and
bridges were torn down, and for hours
nothing seemed capable of stemming the
tide.

of the opinion that the work of the
future can be left to other hands.
When Gov. Allen left I'orto Kico he
brought all of his household effects
with him.
William H. Pliict. who has been se
lecled to succeed Gov. Allen, was born
in New Orleans. La., on November 5.
ls.',7, and is the fourth son of the late
William Henry Hunt, of Louisiana,
who was secretary of the navy In the
cabinets of Presidents Garfield and Ar
thur, and' who served as minister to
Kussia. Judge Hunt received his edu
cation at Yale, but on account of ill
health did not finish his course. In
lfi'.iG Vale conferred upon him the hon
orary degree of master of arts.
When he wns 27 years of nge Hunt
wns elected attorney general of the
territory of Montana. He subsequent
ly removed to Helena, and in 1S88 wa
elected a member of the legislature,
where he served as chairman of the
judiciary committee. He was a mem
ber of the constitutional convention
in 1SS4 which framed the constitution
of the state when It was admitted to
the union, and also held important ju
diciary positions in Montana.
When Gov. Allen went to Porto Kico
Mr. Hunt was requested by President
McKinley to become secretary of the
Island and to assist Gov. Allen in or
ganizing the new civil government.
GROTESQUE DEITIES.
Efllltlr of War God Once Worshiped
by Pacific Islander Are Queer
Work of Art.
As ethnographic Fludics, it is al
leged that few specimens of primi
tive art are more valuuble than the
oddly sculptured effigies of war gods
which were at one time regarded with, 1
such awe by the natives of Hawaii, '
New Zealand and certain other coun- '
tries. The reason la, because on many
of these figures, grotesque though
they seem to us, various human emo- j
tions are finely, if rudely, portrayed.
I
PACIFIC ISLAND GODS.
(Quaint Images That Were Once Wor
thijnd In Hawaii.)
, ,, .. . ,
A fine collection of these war gods
hus just been made by a scientist.
In Hawaii the eflig-Ies were tnude of
the roots of osier and were ndorned
with red feathers from the bird known
as "viiwi," and with yellow und black
fenthers from the bird known as "00."
In 18(10 these birds had become sr. v;,r
anyone from killing them, nnd or-
be relraved after the necessary feuth'
, er had been earefully plui.'ked from
' thm.
Various emotions were expressed
I by these war pods. Thus one, not
i able for h horizontal eyes, his open
. mouth and his sharp teeth, expresses
calm ferocity; and a second, di.stin
i puished by his drooping Hps and hii
i enormous eyes, expresses fadness.
