In their cntliuMnsui they count iiMn favorable action at .Milwaukee tomorrow, ami carrying their hopes still farther, my that they will yet win I Chleago ovet. These successes, they I declare with apparent eonlldcnee will make them master of the situation anil win the strike. The steel officials, on tlio other hand, say the strikers are n'arly at the Hood of their siirccs and when the ebb conies it can never be stopped. They don't seem to be dis turbed by tecent events, and with n confidence equal to that of the sti liters, talk of certainty of ultimate success. They itsrert that popular sentiment has lfver been behind the strike, and that the general Interest which was oner aroused by the contest Is quickly wan ing. They claim that they aie more than holding- their own In the non union plants that were unaffected or have been started since the strike be gan, and ate perfecting plans for re opening several plant now Idle. They nlso (latin thai ninny of their men. p.titleulatly at McKcespoit.

Talk of peace hun been dropped for the time being, and it Is agreed that In Its present aspect the situation Indicates a prolonged and stubborn contest. McKeespoit Tie-up. Two hundred men employed in the J--itlnnal t;al,inly.lng works of the Na tional Tube company at McKeesport struck today They were the last re maining workmen in the affected nudes 1n that city and the tie-up Is now as complete us possible there. Many of the tube workers, although on strike, have refused to Join any union and the opinion Is expressed that there will be soon u break among the strikers. The leaders plan another rally for totuor iow llicht to re-enthuse the men and heel an btcak that may be possible. They have asked Piesldent Shaffer to go thete and speak, but he bus not yet said dellnitcly thai he would. The cngatil.ers aie working Indefiitlgably to keep the men In line. They nie also exleiidliu their operations to Duquesne nnd llo'itestead, the two gtent strong holds of the Carnegie company, and claim to Ivj gaining ground at both mm. The recent gains here mul at ,'Ioiiet will bring the total number of in ii brought out by the third and J mil call of Piesldent Shaffir to about ;;nfKi'j and puss, the giand total to something oer To.imhi Thousands of the men out have found other work nnd the exact number now Idle Is un known. The Amalgamated association 1 organizing a series of employment bureaus and plans to place many more t the Idle men. President Shaffer an nounced today that after September J idle Amalgamated men would receive r'lll'.e benefits of $1 a week apiece and that some ptovlslon would be made for tlie men outside of the organization. Wellssille, Hyde Park. Painter's, ('lark's. Lindsay and McCutcheon's, nnd the Crescent tin works, the six pi opei ties open partly or In full with non-union men since the strike be gan, inoxed along today as usual. An other it'fw has been seined for Paint m's niHL The other I'nlted States Stel propf riles unaffected by the Hi Ike wen- nlo running without In tHimptlon, white non-union men are being brought from the South to break the strike In the steel works at Mones ren and It Is expected tml Mtart will be made there the tlrst of next week. President Shatter and all of his offi i lal associates except Assistant Secre tary M. F. Tlghe were at the sulkn headquarters, where n scries of con-feteiu-cs were held during the day. Mr. Shaffer's Stntement. Mr. Shaffer discussal the situation rather freely. He said: "The icwtilt cannot help but be far- ranking, not only In the west, but here as well. Accordlntr to a telegiain from Tight received this tnoiulng, It is not Improbable that the Milwaukee men will go out. Mr. Tlghe Is in Mil wattkoe today, nnd mo may hear some thing from Hayvlew before the day closes, "I cannot predict what may happen In South Chicago. I think It likely that Tlghe will go to ChlciiRO as soon as he pets his work finished at Milwaukee." Mr. Snaffer was asked if ho had heard from Vice-President Davis, of South Chicago, elnco the western trottbl" b.-c.ui. He said he had not, Assistant cVcretnry Tishe. however, rays Davis Is with him in iMIIwaukco today. "I do not know whnt Mr. Da via' etund is on the western situation," Concerning the local situation. Presi dent Shaffer said It was unchanged to nil outward appearances. "The nuwH from the west will have a Rood effect on the local situation. It cm-otimgefl the men In this section. Private advices from all tlio local mills started, Inform us that the attempts have been costly to the mamifacturcM. It does not pay to make scrap, even for effect. We know by the amount of coal which Is golnig from the mills thnt they nre consuming and the output which Is going from the milts that the attempt to get the mills going has not succeeded." President Shaffer refused to discuss the absence of Trustee Pierce In the cast. It Is probable he Is with the or ganlzntlon'.t attorney, Mr. Hrennan, on business connected with the Amalga mated association. The sheet mill at lluncansvllle, who have hitherto re fused to Join the strike, are still ob jects of concern to Mr. Pierce and lie Is likely making another effort to have them Join t!i" Amalgamated associa tion forces. For some reason the Am algamated headquarters have again been tightly closed, locked doors bar the entrance of even mall carriers and messengers. The object of this move as explained by Secretary Williams Is merely to allow the oflleers to catch up with the enormous amount of busi ness which has accumulated since the general strike order went Into effect. The Amalgamated officials hint at an other surprise In the way of closing mills In the local district. "I receive reports from every mill In the country dally." President Shaffer said today. "It would not be wise to say any certain mill will strike until It does. We like to let the newspapers tell about thnt first." Regarding: Tin Plates. Tlio lodges of the International Tin Plate Workers' Protective association, throughout the country are passing upon tin question of handling the Welsh plates which the American Tln- plate company plans to Import to re plenlsh the supply cut off by the strike and their decision will have nn Import ant bearing on the strike. The Tin plate Workers claim that on certain occasion" In the past when they asked for the aid of the Amalgamated asso ciation they were Riven no satisfaction and that the Amalgamated association Itself furnished precedents against sympathetic strikes. A lengthy statement In behalf of the tin worker has been made public here. After stating that the Welsh plates are made by union men, the .wtntenicnt re views the hlstorv of the organization after the American Federation of Labor convent lor. In Kansas City In lUie. President Shaffer conducted Hip for malities of Its organization-, nnd the stntement says: "Feeing at this time that the inlet -ests of the tin bouse men were Identi cal with the members of the Amalga mated association, we solicited Shaffer to enter Into a del'enwlve alliance, to strengthen the position of both organ izations in trade disputes. Shaffer ob jected. He told us that the Amalga mated association stood for the ob sei value of Its contract, and thnt It could not entei Into any defensive com pact which would obligate- the assoi I atlon to violate either the spirit 01 the letter of its signed agreements, lie said he lould only promise the 'moral and financial' aid provided In the laws of the American Federation of Labor, for which he acted when he organized the tin house employes. We finally got our scale adonted without any assist ance from the Amalgamated associa tion. "Two years ago. while we were dis cussing scale points with W. II. lira bain, vlce-piesldeut of the American Tlnplate company, that gentlemen showed iw a communication fiom Piesldent Shaffer, which was sent In reply to n itnteitieiit by Mr. (irahuni that If he granted certain wnge ad vances to the Amalgamated members employed In the hot mills of the com pany, he would have to grant an ad vance alo to the tin hnu-'e men. as the union of the tin bouse men would un doubtedly demand It. Shaffer tppllcd: " 'The tin house employes are not en titled to recognition in this discussion. They aie not skilled men, and should not be organized.' " The .statement closes with an asser tion that one year ago the Amalga mated men refused aid In settling the scale and that at Conncllsvllle and Cleveland the Amalgamated men aided the company In lining the places of sulking tinplate workers Prospects nt Carnegie. A despatch from McKoosport says: "The .likers expect the Duquesne plant of the Carnegie s'tcel company will be out In thiee days. They say It Is organized and is waiting to co operate w.th Homestead and Hraddock mills and t'.inl this Is the trump card President Shaffer has been holding. Trouble Is expected If men are Import ed or any old men return to work. "The tube welders published nn an nouncement today that they will Join no union, but will remain out while the strike Is on. Mayor Hlack refused per mission to the Socialist Labor party to hold a street meeting. He says politi cal meetings are more dangerous than gatherings of strikers nn the streets, lie says be will not disperse crowds on streets If they nre good natured, but will arrest speakers at the meeting for Inciting riot. The mayor got a postal toilov wnrnln-; him to look out ns the fool killer '.i hf ruled toward McKees port anil Is liable to pick blni off. iii also refused permission to the strikers to hold a fwenty-roiind light between .Tack McClellan nnd M.

'Che steel strike has affected prlce extensively, particularly on sales for Ituineillate delivery. In tin plates the advance has been greatest, while hoops, sneet. shcip and billets ate sold at premiums. Quotations are ton eiratlc for aeeiu-ate record, a ml In many cae sales are at private terms. Confidence Is steadily shown by placing nf dhtant deliveries at regular pi ices. Consump tion has undoubtedly In en further cur tailed this month, but a revival of ex ports tends to prevent accumulation. Official tignres of condition were far motehopcles a than even tho most pes simistic anticipations. Indicating only about two billion bushels of wheat and com together, inflated prices brought out receipts-- for the week of L,.3.!),0.'i bushels against 2.0J2.19.", last year, and reduced Atlantic exports to Ol.nnii bushels, compared with L'.MJ.X.Ti a year ago, and t.o:il,::o2 in isoo, Wheat also advanced shorply, but there Is sound argument for strength In Atlantic ex ports during the last two weeks of 13,. fon.o.'M bushels, against l.STS.fiOl In 1000.

THE RACES AT BRIGHTON Ideal Weather Prevails at the Race Course-The Growd Is Small.

Py Kilubo Wire from The Ae.-iocl.ited Pre". New York, Aug. It!. Ideal weather prevailed at Brighton He.ich today and although the crowd was small In com parison with that of yesterday, still there was a fair attendance and the racing was of a high class. The best race of the afternoon was that of the three-year. old and proved the bet contested and fastest of Its class this season. In the first heat ut the finish the leadeis were tally heads apart and In the second beat the clip was such a fast one that three fell by the way side, Including the winner of the llrst heat. Kach of the other beats was equally as Interesting and In the fourth the finish was so close that the Judges hesitated for a long time before decid ing It In favor of Carrie Hell. The daughter of Lynncbcl gxit the finishing heat, but only after a bard struggle. Petting was decidedly lively In the IMS trot and with eleven starters Ivn Deo was a strong favorite. Juno T. managed to secure the llrst heat, but In a rattling finish In the second Mau rlng was llrst under the wire, but for breaks was placed second to lva Dee. The latter lost the third heat through a break at the start and this and the fourth went to Mnurlne. lva Dee won the next two heats hiul the race. The great betting race was the '.'.OS pace, ami In the early pools Dan Patch brought $1,300 to the same amount on the rest of the Held. Another of $1,000 against an equal amount and one of $;i0t) on similar terms were recorded. There were seven starters and It was very evident that Dan Patch was not driven to win in tho llrst heat and he Mulshed well back In fourth position. It was quite different In the second, for ho was sent from the start and negotiated the llrst quarter In 30'i, made the half in 1.01 and finished his mile In I'.ot'j, after which the race was postponed.

SHAMROCK II WILL FLOAT TODAY Will Swing Her Anchor Off Staple ton Nenr the Steam Yacht Erin. Py Kxcluxbe Wire fiom The AiMiciatccI Prcwa, New York, Aug. lfi. Sir Thomas Hil ton's Shamrock II will be floated out of dry dock before noon tomorrow It the plans of the officers of the yacht are adhered to, and before sunset she will be swinging to her anchor off Stapleton near the steam yacht Krln. The work of polishing the underbody was con tinued throughout the day and com pleted Just before midnight, the work men putting the finishing touches on the bright metal under the glare of electric lights until It reflected the rays like a mirror. The coat of green paint which was to have been applied to her topsldes will not be given until she Is hauled out into the open vfnter. The frequent statement that the Shamrock II Is hard to steer. Is slow' In stays, experts say. Is shown by an analysis of the lateral plans of the yacht as compared with the position of the center of the sail plan. Tho carrying forward of the yacht, it Is stated, would have obviated this error, which, of necessity, make her carry a lee helm. Thnt this error In trim has been noticed by Mr. Watson Is shown by the preparations for a larger main sail to lit the new boom, thus bringing the centre of effort n trifle aft of the centre of lateral resistance, giving the yacht a slight weather hem. This will make the yacht quicker In stays and remedy the only fault that her sailing master admits does exist. PRESIDENT MITCHELL C0M1NG. Is to Spend Severnl Weeks in East ern Pennsylvania.
