TWELVE PAGES EXTENSION OF THE STRUGGLE. The strain of the labor situation was still further emphasized last night by the sym patheticstnke of the Amalgamated Associ ation men hi the Carnegie Company's Pitts burg mills. The company had signed the scale for these mills, but the men went out because of the action at Ilomestead. Thus there is a determined fight along the whole line between the association and the company; and the chances of amicable settlement on any basis are a stage further off than ever. It is needless to repeat the common sense view of outsiders and of the com munity which is indirectly affected by this suspension of industry, that all strikes and lockouts are a cruel and useless waste of money and energy, and that there is al ways in such disputes a point at which perfect intelligence and the right kind of feeling between the disputants would compel a friendly agreement All such wie advice becomes unfortunately a mere platitude in cases like the present The association and the company have virtually elected to measure their full strength in antagonism, and, as tilings look, nothing that might be said .would influence the contestants out of their chosen course. This being the plight, and every right thinking person will regret it all tiiat remains is to ask that the contest keep strictly within the lines of the law. However the struggle result, the responsi bility of keeping it strictly a peaceful and lpgal one rets profoundly upon the shoul ders of every one concerned. The eyes of the whole country are at this moment fixed wiih painful interest upon Pittsburg. The re-pec! ard fidelity of every citizen unto'i the iaw which are made for tue protec tion of all alike will be constantly and con fidently looked for, and mus; be made a fir; ami indispensable consideration. It is a great pity that the Amalgamated AaWPtiou, which has been one of the most infell.ger.t and conservative of labor bodies, and the Carnegie Company, whosa enterprise ha- done so much in extending our "oral industries, should get into this oonflic. Bu. since the die seems cast, rt:d it li; ;- come to a great trial of parieiice and r-oiire", the part of wisdom and of duty is ior all to remember that employ ers and employed must come together again upon come terms at the end of the s'mggie; and that while free to exercise their legal rights as they please, nothing ihouldbe said or done that will make that coming together again mor difficult or unpleasant AT.imiCH AND PROTECTION. The vain taunts ot the Democrats in the Senate, ihat the upholders of Protection were afraid to publish the report of the Senate F.mnce Committee on the results of She MeK'iiley bill before the November election, are to be answered within a day or two. Senator AMrich is to make a speech accompanying the report, that will in all piobabiiity make the Democratic boasters feel sorry that they spoke. The publication of the report at this time is peculiarly appropriate, and it could not be tent foith by anyone better fitted for the work than the Rhode Wand Senator. The Republican parly can wish for no better campaign material than is afforded by the results of Protection, and the free trade preachers will find that their utter disregard of the prosperity of American Industries will make a very poor showing beside the report and Aldrich's com mentary thereon. There can be no hedging on this ques tion on either side, for the one is as strongly pledged to tariff for revenue only as is the other to the promotion of America's industrial independence. The people will decide between the combat ants in November, and the national intel ligence is such as to leave no serious do.ubt as to the result JAPANS" AT CHICAGO. The Japanese exhibit at the "World's Fair will be one of the most interesting and attractive of the foreign displays. An appropriation of 5030,000 from so small a nation is well in keeping with its progress ive action in every direction. The build ing, which is to be a reproduction of one of the most famous temples, and the botanical landscape garden, each costing 5100,000, are to remain as a gift to Chicago with a provision for an annual grant by the Japanese Government for the proper maintenance of the latter. Every kind of Japanese production, and all the features of life in the Flowery Kingdom are to be represented. The characteristics of this nation are in striking contrast to those of the Chinese. Their readiness to adopt "Western civiliza tion and the ease with which their imita tive capacity and general adaptability enable them to do so are simply marvel ous. Japanese students In American and European colleges show a remarkable linguistic ability, and the educational in stitutions of their own country are mak ing rapid strides toward "Western stand ards. A high intellectual ability and a love of beauty combined with devotion to thoroughness are found throughout the Mikado's domains. From the thorough ness of their work America can learn a great deal, and their zest to make the most of their opportunities will be sur prising as well as instructive to all who have this opportunity of gauging them. The main danger to the Japanese nation is that it may lose some of the inclination to painstaking care that has hitherto char acterized its work by its readiness to adopt new methods and its increasing contact with the people who work in a slipshod fashion for temporary results without tak ing thought for permanency and endur ance. But the habits inbred by centuries of heredity cannot be easily-shaken. The Japs have an immense future before them, and their display at Chicago will do much to bring about a proper recognition of their growing importance. THE COMarXTTEE'S IDEAS. The Congressional Committee of investi gation into the Homestead troubles goes away with the highest compliments from all sides forits evident disposition to get at the facts, and to avoid the temptation of turning this public misfortune to nar row partisan account From the remarks dropped it is not un likely that the committee will recommend some sort of a compulsory arbitration bill though neither the leaders of labor nor of capital seem to take much stock in that device. Tct it must have occurred to many people, reading the testimony given to the committee, that it would be a good 'thing in differences between labor and capital if such testimony could be had be fore lock-outs or strikes, in place of after it The bringing out of facts and figures as to the actual conditions involved iu the dispute would tend often to a better under standing, and remove misapprehensions which uncorrected keep the parties farther away from each other. A comparison of flic testimony of Burgess HcLuckie and of Chairman Frick will il lustrate this point Mr. McLuckie testi fied with great earnestness to his belief that the McKinley bill was part of "a gigantic conspiracy" against labor, lie cited in support of his position that it re duced the duty on billets upon whose price the labor scale turned while it in creased the duty upon otherproducts of tho Carnegie works. Chairman Frick, on the other hand, testified that upon none of the products of th. company did the McKinley bill increase the duty that, upon all, the duty was lowered; and that upon beams, which Mr. McLuckie specially cited as be ing increased, the reduction was greater than upon billets. This, of course, was but one of several points of difference. Tet it is quite pos sible that there were other points of dif ference upon which a comparison of notes by a competent committee before the strike might have led to a better under standing. The objections to compulsory arbitration, which have been expressed both by labor leaders and by manufact urers, may be valid. Still, the experience with the Congressional Committee this week clearly suggests that snch a commit tee, if empowered to bring disputants to gether in case of a threatened strike or lock-out, and to sift and compare their re spective contentions, might often succeed In preventing a rupture by impartially helping each side to the actual truth of the situation. HCRRT TN SPITE OF HEAT. There is some slight lull in the rush of business life now, even among those who cannot get away from the cities. But there are still many whom force of habit keeps in an everlasting hurry to increase their store of this world's goods and surpass the achievements of their neighbors. Men may still be seen running to catch cars or alighting therefrom at the risk of their limbs rather from eternal restlessness than a conscious desire to save time. Meals at midday are hurried through in the sum mer's heat as in the winter's cold. And even the cooling beverage taken is swal lowed in haste almost before it can be tasted. All these things, of course, are right and proper enough-in a country that boasts itself on the liberty it affords the individ ual But the fact that men have the right to ruin their health for the mere sake of hurrying makes their action none the less trying to others of more reposeful disposi tion. Dow can a sympathetic human being keep cool under any circumstances when he is liable at all times to see his fellows tearing through existence at a breakneck pace? Surely the money hunter and he who hunts just for the sake of keeping himself busy, should consider the disturbing effects of his movements on others even though he refuses to consult his own true welfare by taking an occa sional rest COMMENDATION, NOT CRITICISM. The practical reversal of itself by the Supreme Court in the Gross will case is rather a novelty in jurisprudence, particu larly with one decision coming so soon after the other. The Court seems to be conscious of this when it says of its second opinion that "it may subject us to some criticism from those who do not look be low the surface." The case was briefly about as this: An estate was devised "ab solutely and in fee simple." The Court held originally that because the testator added that it was to be "wholly for the use and benefit' of the devisee, who was a married woman, that gave her but a life estate, and invalidated sales made by her of the real estate so devised. It will be the general belief that the first decision of tho Court was solely the one which was open to criticism. The decision now made will undoubtedly be received with approval not only by all the parties In interest, but probably by the bar and by the laity, to the latter of whom, partic larly, the language of the will must have seemed so explicit, specific and clear In conveying a fee simple, that they could only wonder at the tortuous refinements of high judicial reasoning which could construe that ordinarily plain language into something practically opposite. It is not, however, to be supposed that even courts of last resort may not sometimes err. "When they are convinced of error, as seems to have resulted from the rehearing In this case, it certainly should be a cause not of criticism, but of commendation that they then set the matter right, even at the risk of pra'ctically reversing their former judgment The titles to a great deal of property would have been injuriously affected had the first decision of trie Supreme Court been allowed to stand. That decision was one which not only upset such equitable rights, but it was also contrary to the lower court, and puzzled lawyers and lay men. The later and different judgment this week rendered will meet with more approval than criticism. It would be sad indeed if, when the Court became con inced of Its own mistake, it should not rectify it SEEKING THE SIAN. Both parties are in a peculiar position this year in their long hesitancy over the appointment of chairmen to their respec tive national committees. And the samp reasons in varying degrees are causing the aeiay in eacn case, ihe chairmanship of a national committee is no sinecure. It is one of the most exhausting offices in tho country both in time and labor. It de mands such a man as Is not easily to be found.

' fib THE PITTSBURG- event of his party's success, and the prac tical certainty that he will, In a large measure, be held responsible for any failure that may occur under his leadership. He must be a man, too, of great executive ability, and he will be all the better for tho possession of personal magnetism. Such men are by no means easy to find. Every year sees an increase in the amount of concentration necessary to succeed in the 'race of business competition. And in the same ratio men are less and less willing to set aside their own affairs from a spirit of disinterested patriotism. . On the Democratic side, where the odds are all against victory, the shrinking is comparatively easy to explain. But that it should take so long to find a leader for the forces fated for success and pledged to the grand principles of American industrial inde pendence is astounding. There is need. for a strong effort from the Republican forces this year, and men possessed of the necessary qualifications for campaign leadership ought to let neither selfishness nor modesty hinder them from volunteer ing, and still less from accepting the office if tendered to them. Gladstone's chances look brighter than they did a few days ago, but it Is still evi dent that his majority will not be sufficiently strong to prevent an early dissolution. It is a curious fact indicating the extent to which familiarity with dangor breeds contempt therefor that the slopes of Mt. Etna, now in a state of dangerous activity, with residents numbering 300,000, are more thickly populated than any other part of Sicily or Italy.

Chicago is now wrestling with the gar bage question, and the ariival of the hot weather emphasizes the mistake of Councils in falling to provide a proper system for dis poning of nuisances in this city before their adjournment. Discussions on free coinage and the cur rency question have ceased to be counted among current events.

It is extremely doubtfnl if there Is a hot ter place in summer in the United States than the comer or Broad and Chestnut streets, in tho city of Philadelphia. Tou can broil a steak on theasphalt and not half try. The remainder of the city is hot likewise, and theie comes to you a wave of brick pavemented atmosphore from whatever quarter you may approach the place. It is piobnhly for this reason that Philadelphia is made the starting point for so many cool places along the coast or in tho mountains. When a man has to stay in the city he takes off everything you cannot see, and goes about in a shirt that is chiefly busom and landscape effects, trousers "-and a loose coat.

There is a good deal of complaint about the inconvenience to which East End peoplo are put by tho management here of the ex press company. If there is a package to bo shipped by the company from an East End lesidence it requires an amount of trouble which is wholly unnecessary. The East Liberty office has no telephonic connection, anu when inquiry is mado at the main city office, the answer is that they do not send wagons to the East. End, but notioe must bo sent to the agent at East Liberty. During tho snmnier when a great many things aro being shipped to tho resorts such an arrange ment is a nuisance. It involves the sending of a special messenger or the taking of the package to the shipping office. For a city of its size and opportunities it is singular that the capital city of tho United States should bo as badly off for restaurants as it undoubtedly is. Washington is a place wheioit is almost impossible to get a well served, well-cooked meal outside of privato houses, the Capitol lunch room, the clubs and one or two hotels. It has no restaurants worthy of tho fame of Chamberlains & W Dicker's. At Chamberlains the service is abominable. You aio compelled to wait twice as long as in any other place of its pie tensions, and it is a matter of pure luck whether what you get will be worth tho waiting. The house is dingy and the flies are thick, the china is unbreakably heavy and coarse and there is a Foe-like air of melancholy desolation about the cafes.

There is an employe of the Associated Press In Washington who has read np the Bering Sea question so thoroughly that he can discuss and dissect it as well as a State Department special usent. It is said that this gentleman's work was so good that it led to the suspicion that Executive Clerk Young was giving away pointeis which caused his dismissal.

Just as tho hand had ceased playing Gilmoro retired through one of the side doors and reappeared a min ute latei leading a boy by the hand. He was a frail, sun burned little fellow in knee breeches. His limbs trembled with nervous ness as he walked to the front of the great stago and lifted a cornet to his lips. The audience bad hardly lecovered from its surprise at sight of tho child, when Gil more stepped back upon his leader's stand and at a wave or his wand the little fellow played a polka with a grace and skill that was simply abounding. The rnein beis of the band roared out applause and the audience w cut wild with edthusiasm. "Ladies and gentlemen," said Gilmoie, "I never saw this boy until a few minutes ago. Ho came into the handroom and asked mo if I would allow him to plav something with the band. Ho was such a little child that I was airuid to let him come, but you have heard what he can do. His name is Call Lindstron and he conies Irom Kentucky." A tremendous shout followed this an nouncement, and fhe tiny cornetlst almost swooned with excitement over his success. Master Carl Lindstron Is 12 years of age. He is the only son of John Lindstron, of Kentucky.

The usual routine dnties of the customs officers was broken for several of them(yesterday by the public sale of seized, unclaimed and warehoused mer chandise which had been allowed by con signees to remain in the bonded warehouses after tho expiration of three years from the date of its receipt. Very few of. the purchasers obtained bar gains The greatest bargain, at least what was probably considered by the purchaserto be the greatest bargain at the sale, was a portrait in oil ofa lady and gentleman taken in a very affectionate attitude, which was purchased by the lady chiefly concerned for 0 cents. It had been received by mail from Japan in 1687, ana was seized and held as dutiable as a foreign work of art at an ap praised value of $52, by the customs officials, and placed in the custody of the United States Storekeepers. The young lady was among the first ar rivals and wanted to make some arrange ment whereby the picture could be pur chased and delivered to her without being exposed to the pnblic gaze. This wns im possmle, however, the law requiring that all articles must be exposed to view and sold to the highest bidder.

The poor girl, her fnco crimson with blushes, stood close by the auctioneer, too ranch embar rassed to speak. An unsentimental bidder offered 5 cents for the portrait. This was more than the younu lady could stand, and she raised the bid to 50 cents. Then somebody else made an offer of 1 cent more, nnd in this way the picture was, run up,to 75 cents.

The Kenmairr Concert Is Again Deferred Director Gates Tells a Story, bnt Man ager Knhn Has Hla With Him and He Cannot Bo Found. The Midsummer Night Concert at the Hotel Eenmawr so far has been composed of two postponements and one promise. When the Eenmawr management consented to permit the use of the lawn for a concert, Mr. Gates, having Mr. Euhn's assent, ar ranged for a performance on Saturday, July 2, making preparations accordingly. For convenience to East End people a box office was established in the Eenmawr and under its care, where an advance sale took place. Then Mr. Gates engaged a number of im- portantlocal musical people, contracted for. tho building ofa stage, and, at tne same time, lor other needed paraphernalia. Until late on the afternoon or Satnrday the public was not aware that the concert bad been deferred, general intimation being fli st given by an evening paper. Mr. Gates said he was treated to an almost equally scant measure of warning. Mrs. Pauf Zim merman, whose husband's name was among those of the performers on the programme, had been seriously ill, and by Satnrday her lire even was apprehended. Mr. Euhn sug gested to Mr. Gates that it would be a be coming act to defer the concert until the' crisis had passed, and, moreover, that the muic might disturb the invalid, whose rooms look out on that part or the grounds. Then the concert was announced ror Thursday. Thursday came.but the lawn of the Eenmawr looked provokingly deserted, with chairs piled on ton of each other under tho frees, no evidences of stage, people, nor concert, a condition of affairs that filled the air with the complaints of disappointed Seople. Anyone who choso to call up the 'enmowr Hotel by telephone was informed that the concert was again deferred on Mrs. Zimmerman's account. At this junctuie Mr. Gates grew tired of postponements for which he was blamed. He requosted an explanation from Mr. Euhn, who said that Mr. Gates' business methods did not engage his profound regard, and that the Eenmawr Hotel would not be benefited in a connection with a failure. Mr. Gates an swered rather warmly that his own particu lar shoulders would bear all burden of fail ure. Mr. Euhn objected to holding tho money realized by the advance sale and told Gates so. Gates demanded $10 of it, re ceived it and gave a receipt. The plain speakins between the two gentlemen caused them to part coldly and when Mr. Gates sent out his men to build the stage yesterday Mr. Euhn positively declined to allow the lawn to be tampered with and told Mr. Gates, when he swooDed down to know the matter, that not only was the concert not to be given on the cominu Saturday, but for all time. Mr. Gates uttered threats, wnich Mr. Kuhn callen "bluffs;" but never theless, the concert does not come off until Tuesday, July 19, and then it will be given instead at Silver Luke. It will be remembered that a somewhat similar trouble grow out of the performance or "As You Like It" in the Eenmawr grounds last summer, and Mr. Euhn cited that as a reason for feeling timid about a second ex perience. 3Ir. Euhn was heard early In the week ex pressing himself with some concern as to whether or not the Eenmawr management would be oharged with the disastrous nost- Sonements, which were not of his making, ut for a later expiession of his views lie was sought vainly lor last night.

A wedding interesting in itself, hut par ticularly so for another circumstance, was celebrated yesterday morning. Tho cere mony took place in Trinity Catholic Church, corner Center and Fulton streets, and since the bride and groom are musical loving peo ple, the service of music was extremely elaborate. The Cathedral Band, under the direction of Thomas Eirk, Sr., with Mr. Frederick Lane as organist, rendered the new Italian mass by Marzo, which has Just lecently been presented in the Cathedral. As nothing but Cecilian music is sung in Trinity, a special permission had to be sought for from the Cnrmellite Fathers, who most graciously granted the request. In an endeavor to Introduce as many of the characteristics of Cicilian music as was possible, all the solos were sung by u chorus of similar voices a difficult undertaking when thero is no preparation, and which re flected much credit upon Mr. Eirk'3 leader ship. The bride and bridegroom around whom this interesting occasion centered were Miss Boegle and Mr. John Hegorle. Both are members of the Cathedral choir, and the bride is a daughter of the late organist of the church in which her nuptials uere cele brated so prettily yesterday morning.
