Hills.

Pittsburg, July It is apparent in Pittsburg that fresh ami decidedly important developments in the strike ol the steel workers are a bent to take place. A mysterious conference which was attended by President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association and Secretary John Williams also, on Tuesday night, promises to bring about a change in the situation in a, few days. While the manufacturers are making rapid changes in tneir plans for operating the idle mills of the American Sheet Steel company, it is understood that a movement has been started by the Amalgamated otlicials for a settlement of the controversy by further conference with the otlicials of the steel corporation. This later movement is said to have been inaugurated on Tuesday night. President Shaffer was in the Hotel Lincoln during that evening, looking for someone! whom he was anxious to see. Later the Amalgamated olncial and Secretary Williams were closeted with the individual that Mr. Shaffer was in search of. That conference lasted for several hours. Wednesday, while President Shaffer denied that he had seen anyone connected with the manufacturers' side of the dispute, he would not deny that ho had been conferring with outsiders interested in bringing about a settlement of the trouble. One of the stories alloat in explanation of the mysterious movements of the strike leaders says that among the more conservative element in the Amalgamated association are men who have viewed the present strike with dissatisfaction. They have sought to bring the influence of other labor leaders to their aid in inducing President Shaffer to alter his position regarding the non-union mills of the United States Steel corporation. The same faction, it is said, has been desirous ol learning upon what basis the strike can he settled by the manufacturers. A compromise is hoped lor. In the meantime .M. M. Carland, the former president of the Amalgamated association and now surveyor ol the port of Pittsburg, is said to be in NewYork in the interest of a settlement of some kind. Whether Mr. (Jarland is acting in behalf of the president of the Amalgamated association or not. is purely a matter of conjecture.

The manufacturers, it is understood from dispatches from .New York, are averse to any compromise that will mean The increase of union mills. On this ground the.v have determined to fight, the strikers with every possible means of deicnse.

A dispatch froi.u .Mclveesport says: "Mayor Kobert J. Itiack lias declared himself on certain phases ol the strike. He gave warning that, employers need not look to him lor assistance should they decide to force :in issue with the strikers. To ihe strikers lie gave notice that no attempt to create trouble will lie tolerated, lie announced that MeKecsport policemen should not be used to protect the mills, and said deputies would not be tolerated in the town unless it were proved beyond doubt that they were there to protect •life. lie says McKeespovt people are law abiding and their interests must be protected il threatened either by striker- or people from the outside. Both strikers and otlicials of the company are on t.ie alert and ready for any emergency. The impression is strong that the general othcers of the United States Steel corporation have determined on an early breaking of the strike and ultimately forcing tlie operation of ail the idle plants.

Steel Hoop People Are Inciirtereiit As to Results. Pittsburg. July ^.j.—The seeming indifference of tne combine people -uncerning its hoop plants that, are idle, may have its explanation in the information received from authority not to lie doubted that the steel hoop company intends to eventually abandon most of its plants and concentrate their business in the now mills now building for the Carnegie company at

Duquesne. This new plant will be the largest hoop air.l tie mill in the world if present plans are carried out, and •will be large? enough to take care of all the business of the hoop combine Kindle nr.nucd. it goes without saying that the Duquesne plant will be operated on a strictly non-union basis.

Lunatic Huns Amuck.

Leavenworth, Kan., July 'J5.—Michael Kelly, an insane man, yesterday, at the office of the Robert Garrett Lumber company in the business district, shot six people, killing one, probably fatally wounding another, and more or Jess seriously wounding four others.

Weather Sharps Are Still At Scaa Concerning Pro (nihilities. Washington, .,uly Scattered thunder showers in the northern tier oi -states in the central West have given some relief in that locality from the Intense hear. Those showers, which generally wore light in character. occurred in the Dnkotas, southern Minnesota, ltonhwestern Iowa, the exirciA'fe northern portion of Illinois, in Minnesota and in .\nchigan. More of these showers and over a wider area are expected by the weather bureau tou.s.y. Their effect, however, will be temporary and warm weather is again predicted for Friday. In the great corn belt: the intense heat still continues and there seems to bo no immediate prospect of a general rain, though the fact mat showers are becoming inoii' general then for some days is encouraging to the otlicials here, who hope the.v may bo the forerunner of a general break-up in the heat and drouth conditions, although the forecasters will not say that they expect this probability.

While Secretary Long was not asked whether the court of inquiry would be asked to form and submit tin opinion upon the tacts disclosed by the in vest igat ion. it is considered quite probable that this course will be pursued. Unless the order convening the court expressly requires this opinion to be expressed, its report must be confined to stating the facts found.
