riTTSBURG, June 27. All tho till
plate works In the country will prob
ably be closed at midnight on Friday
as a result of the failure to settle tht
wage scale at the conference in Chi
cngo. Fully 50,000 persons will b-
made Idle by the shut down.
The conference, which opened in Chi
eago on Tuesday morning, closed Sat
uiuay evening witnout arriving at ar
agreement. The workers wage com
mittee, acting under instructions re
celved from the annual convention
held In Detroit Inst month, made a de
mand for an advance of 20 per cent.
ine present wage scale expires or
June 30, and members of the Amalga
mated association are not permitted
to work after that date unless the new
scale is signed.
About 25.000 skilled workers are mem
ocrs or. me association and as man)
are dependent upon them and will b
Idle while the skilled men are unem
, ployed. Nearly 75 per cent of the tlr
plate workers of the country are em
ployed In Western Pennsylvania mills
me scaie or me tin house men, oi
unskilled laborers, was arranged sev
eral weeks ago and provides for a bis
advance to some of the works and av
erages nearly 20 per cent. All the tit.
plate mills of the country are unlor
mills with but four exceptions. Soni
of them may continue in operation, but
It is not likely that they will.
Secretary Williams of the Amelga-
mated association stated that all negn
nations are oft for the present and
that the matter will have to be re
ferred back to the subordinate lodges
Mr. Williams said that the manufac
turers offered them an advance, but II
was not as much as they wanted, and
as the committee had no authority tc
do anything except what the convention
decided on in Detroit a month ago, th
conference was brought to an end.
It would be Impossible, he said, tc
refer the matter back to the subordi
nate lodges this week, much less ar
range for another conference. H
would not expre.'s an opinion as to the
probable action of the lodges, but it
seems to be the general impression that
there will be no modification of the
original demands.

while McCunville was on the observa
tion train. Dr. Peet followed his crew
in a launch, while Ellis Ward on the
Franklin was jubilent over the succesf
of his four, although somewhat down
cast at the defeat of the Quaker eight.
After the race. Coach McConville of
the Wlsconslns said that If the work of
the youngsters was any criterion by
which to Judge the varsities he had nc
fear of either Columbia or Pennsylva
nia In the next contest.
Dr. Peet was disappointed that hit
boys had not won, but expressed con
siderable satisfaction over the manner
in which they fought the last part of
the fight.
Coach Ward said he had not expected
much from his youngsters, but placed
ail hie hopes on his varsity.
The scene at Cornell's quarters after
the freshmen race was an inspiring one.
The boys crowded about Courtney,
cheering frantically. They gave him
all the credit for the great victory.
GOVERNOR PINGREE'S VIEWS.
Berrtary Alger-Hat Mltqooted Illiu a
Ilrliif; In Favor of McKlnlejr.
DETROIT. Mich., June 27. Governor
Plngree made a statement brought out
by Washington dispatches which quot
ed Secretary Alger as saying that Gov
ernor Pingree is "for President McKin-
ley first, last and all the time." The
governor said:
"If General Alger said that, It Is his
opinion from his point of view. The
question whether I am for McKinley
lies with the president, not with me.
If General Alger knows that President
McKinley Is opposed to territorial ex
pansion and is not an advocate of the
murders and the destruction being
visited upon the Innocent Filipinos, he
has a right to say that I am for Mc
Kinley. "If General Alger Is Informed that
McKinley is opposed to trusts and to
legislation whi4i fosters, creates and
encourages them, and is in favor of
legislation to restrain and suppress
them, then I am closer tu the opin
ion of McKinley than has generally
been believed. If General Alger is as
sured that President McKinley is not
in touch and sympathy with the dis
reputable political methods of Mark
Hanna and his friends and deprecates
such leadership, then I am for McKin
ley. "The question of whether I favor
McKinley is of no consequence in this
senatorial matter, but I am for Mc
Kinley In everything he does which I
consider right, and against everything
he does which i consider wrong."

WASHINGTON, June 23,-As far at
the state of affairs in Samoa and the
program for the future proposed by the
commission are disclosed in Mr. Tripp's
brief cablegram, they are satisfactory
to the state department. In the view
of the state department officials most
of this program Is not ftnal, but Is sub
Ject to the approval ol the three gov
ernments' party to the treaty of Her
lln. This Is true of the projected abol
itlon of the kingship, an office specially
provided for In the treaty.
The fact that the commission ha
unanimously sustained the decision of

the throne Is particularly gratifying to

MURDER OF A GIRL.
Kana Farmer rnrrlilng the Cruntrt
For Her Slarer.
WICHITA, Kan., June 2". Fifty
farmers are searching the country
around Anthony for the alleged mur
derer of Edna Kronstadt, the 10-year-
old daughter of a prominent farmer
living near the Pyle schoolhouse. The
girl was found dead In a dry well 20
feet deeu with her body mutilated.
Coroner Rowell Impaneled a Jury and
from evidence secured it was shown
by bruises on the child's body, grass
and weeds in her hair and finger nail
marks at her thruat, that her death was
from external violence and attempted
assault.
John Jones, a son of a mechanic at
Anthony, was last seen with her and
many suspect him of the crime. He
has disappeared and if the farmers
find him he will have to explain rapidly
to save himself from lynching.
There is one fact which is in his fa
vor. The girl was left alone in the
house Friday night and the deed may
have been committed by a tramp. Jones
was seen at the house about dusk and
no one remembers to have seen him
since. Officers have made futile efforts
to disperse the vengeful farmers, who
vow they will lynch Jones on sight:

HAVANA, June 26. The Society of
Veterans of Independence, organized
by the leaders of the former military
assembly, continues growing and en
listing all who are willing to work
unitedly. It Is composed of three classes
Members of the army, civilians who
acted as agents in the Cuban cities
during the war and those who were de
ported by the Spaniards. Headquarters
will be here and in Santiago nd cen
tral committees will be established in
the capitals of th various provinces.
A prominent Havana club was the
scene of a disturbance between two
very well known Cubans and several
American officers all of whom had been
drinking. The Cubans began cursing
the American administration. Presi
dent .McKinley, the United States
troops and their officers. Finally, one
of the Americans, throughly out of
patience, struck a Cuban In the face
bThe latter demanded a duel, but the
(officer laughed at him. The Cuban In
a perfect fury, called for a gun and
said he would shoot his assailant any
way. At this Juncture, a party of
Americans and Cubans interfered and
sent the disturbers about their business.
An hour later some Cubans returned
and began demanding satisfaction, but
the Americans had left the club. The
Cubans Involved are prominent In lo
cal society, but have no political Influ
ence whatever. They are chronic dis
turbers of order.
Brigadier General Randall has paid,
up to date. In the province of Havana
and Plnar del Rio and In the western
half of Matanzas province, 3,260 Cu
ban troops. This raises the full num
ber, exclusive of the provinces of Puer
to Principe and Santiago, to about
4,500. If the same ratio is maintained
In the two latter provinces, as the or
iginal lists stand, the figures will reach
a total of 12,000. The additional pay
rolls will probably add 10,000 names.
50- per cent of which are i.kely to re
ceive payment. The present rolls con
tain 39,000 men, not counting the sup
plemental lists or the officers paid. II
Is believed that not one per cent will
refuse to come forward for payment.
American army officers consider that
the figures shown in the payments rep
resent the most reliable estimate of th
size of the Insurgent army which in
eluded a large numb of unarmed
camp followers.
The Havana customs receipts from
Jan. 1 to June 25 Inclusive, amounted
to $1,938,015.43.
COLUMBIA IS FAST.
The New Cup Detender Gives Fronilsei
of Holding the Trophy.
NEWPORT, R. I.. June 26. The first
trial trip of the new American cup de
fender Columbia, which took place In
Narrangansett bay, turned out to be
more successful than either her build
ers or her owners had reason to hope.
Not only did the new boat show herself
to be able In every particular, but she
met the old racer Defender In a friend
ly brush of a mile to windward and
vanquished her with the greatest ease.
The race between the flyers, which
was over in five minutes, was sailed In
an eight-knot breeze under the same
conditions each boat carrying three
lower sails with sheet well flattened.
It took the Columbia about three min
utes, sailing from the Defender's weath
er quarter, to blanket her and In five
minutes she was 100 yards ahead, go
ing swiftly past the old cup defender.
Under these conditions, it would seem
as if the Columbia was 15 to 20 sec
onds a mile faster than the Defender,
and if she can make the same gain in a
hard blow, anxiety as to the safety
of the America's cup will be consider
ably allayed.
Columbia Accepted.
BRISTOL, R. I., June 27. After a
conference among the owners of th
new cup defender Columbia, Mr. C. .Ol
iver Iselin, the managing owner, no
tified the Herreshoft company that ths
yacht would be accepted without a fur
ther builder's trial. The owners ex
pressed themselves more than satisfied
with the performance of the yacht
The formal transfer was then made tc
Mr. Iselin as managing owner of the
Morgan-Iselin syndicate.

seamstresses whose means of earning
a livelihood has been the making of sol
diers' clothing at the United States ar
senal here decided to make a direct
appeal to President McKinley against

but no awards have yet been made
The seamstresses are mostly the
wives, widows and daughters of sol

given steady employment, and that no
contracts on the present bids be award
ed. They will also request a return to
the old system of giving work to indi
viduals Instead of contractors who have
worn aone in sweatshops and that
congress pass a bill giving the work to
nuiueii exclusively.
