M'LAURIN AND TILLMAN

SOI Til CAIIOLIVV'.H TWO SIINVKIIIS do a i.itti.i: ioiti: tai.kim;. Furnier Sayn He Una Started HU Peofile to Thiuklnic nnd the Latter Derides His Opponent. NORFOLK. Va.. Aug. 13. Senator McLaurin. of South Carolina, parsed through Norfolk to-day with his wife and child on his way to the Pan-American exposition. lie talked with several Democratic leaders here for the ytate convention, which will discuss the general primary plan for election of senators. To the Associated Press he made the following statement: "For many years the campaigns in South Carolina have been in th nature of personal abuse of candidates. The present campaign is the tlr t in which an Issue 1. at stttke. My series of speeches, which were begun last April, have started the people to thinking, and they have become aroused. Senator Tillman has answered my arguments by heaping personal abuse upon me. He threatened to go out among the mill operators and arouse them against the mill owners If I continued urging the expansion policy and the carrying of American products in American bottoms. Kxpausion Is not Imperialism; thes first is a business question, the other a matter of politics. It is foolish for anybody to claim that a man cannot believe in ship subsidy, the carrying of American exports in American bottoms, and expansion without being a Republican. I am going Into the primaries In South Carolina next fall, and 1 expect to defeat Senator Tillman." Tillman Heimle HcLniirln. WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, who was in this city to-day en route Fast to meet an engagement to lecture, said that Senator McLaurln Is not so strong In his State to-day as he was six weeks ago. He was sure that if the primary election for senator were to come off in South Carolina now Mr. McLaurin could not get more than s,j0 or lu.OOtJ out of (tä.UM votes. He did not believe it would be possible for him to get more than l.youo or 20.0"ni in the. lirst primary a year hence, and he was satisfied he could not be elected. THEY WANT PEACE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) where plants are being partially operated and the men are wavering on the question of going out. Crowds surrounded the Carnegie plants here to-day and the officials finally called on the police to clear them away. The officials say that the loss of ten men at the lower Union mill can be directly traced to the threats of the strikers, who Intercept the men on the way to and from work. They make the same complaint as to IJellalre. Wheeling ami McKeesport. They say that the strikers at Riverside went to Hellaire and literally bluffed the remaining men Into going out. They also claim that the same tactics gained the strikers the steel workers In the National tube plant at Henwood and also forced out hundreds of loyal employes at McKeesport. They say they have given up hope of getting protection from tho local authorities at McKeesport and Wheeling, but have given no Indication that they intend to ask for state aid in either Pennsylvania or West Virginia. The strike leaders, on the other hand. Insist that they are proceeding entirely within their rights and the law, and that any recruits won by them have been obtained by means entirely fair. Mayor R. J. Hlack. of McKeesport. tonight gave out the following statement in reply to the numerous criticisms of his course In not dispersing the crowds of strikers at different times during the strike: "At a time like this In McKeesport. when so many men are Idle, they are bound to come out on the streets and crowd them more than usual, and like every other crowd will" gather where there Is an excitement, but so far there has I een little or no disorder, and in all cases the police have handled the situation admirably. There is no more orderlv set of men in this country than the men who are idle in this city to-day. In the instances in which the Tube Company requested me to send men to disperse the crowds the chief of police was on the ground at the time and reported there was no disorder. We cannot order a, man to go home and stay there when he In doing no harm and only standing on the street. A far as the Tule Company is concerned, it has taken and appropriated to its own use a street of this city to which It has no legal right whatever, and it is the very street on which It was complained that the strikers had congregated. If I allow a private corporation to take up and appropriate to Its own use a street, howcan I consistently refuse a. private citizen the riaht to stand upon It. 1 do not consider talking to nonunion workmen disorderly in any sense and the men have a perfect right to attempt all kinds of arguments as long as they do pot resort to positive physical coercion." The strikers were called together yesterday at the Chartiers plant by Superintendent John Henry 'and preliminary notice for the company's plan to move the plant to Leechburg was served on them. Eighty, strikers responded and Mr. Henry told them that the tires would be lighted and all prepartlor.s made for a start to-day. He said that at 2 o'clock the whistle would be blown, and if the men failed to respond the Hres would never be relighted. The programme as outlined was carried out. but when the whistle sounded the men did not respond. The fires were at once drawn and the order to dismantle and remove the mills was given. The officials of the company Kahl tne plant would be torn down and moved within two weeks. The steel corporation held its ground nt Chicago. Joilet. Ray View. Youngstown. Columbus, the Klsktmontas valley and the Carnegio group, with the exception of the instance named. The strikers are considering plans for breaking the decision of Chicago, Joilet and Ray View to stand with the steel companies, but what they plan to do has not been made clenr. They are charging some of the Western men with both dishonesty and disloyalty, and there is a general desire among members of the. Amalgamated here for some form of Inquiry. Mayor Rlack's mail to-day brought him two peculiar communications. Due was a postal card which read: "You will never live to serve your term. Somebody ought to kill you. There Is a place for such fools ah you." It was signed "A Striker," and it was mailed at Washington. Pa. The other communication Inclosed an editorial from a New York paper arraigning Mayor Hlack. On the margin of it was written: "Go take a dose of carbolic acid." Other writers encouraged and still others discouraged the policy of the mayor. Reports from the affected districts tonight Indicate that the good order which has characterized the strike since It began still prevail. Youngstown reports that the announcement of the removal of tho Warren plant has been made there. Seottdale reports that the Amalgamated organizers are at work among the men there, but the prospects of inducing them to strike are but slight. The strikers at Connellsville have called an Indignation meeting as a result of the threat of the American Tin Plate Company to operate its mill nonunion or dismantle It. Advices from Lorain say that an effort Is being made to organize an Amalgamated lodge, but that Its success In doubtful. A dispatch from Wheeling says that District Superintendent Carter has informed the strikers that Rellaire will remain closed down until they are hungry and that if it ever starts again it will be run nonunion. The same dispatch says that the steel men In the National tube works at Riverside are the onlv ones of the lOOtHl emplovcd hv the teel corporation In Wheeling district who hae gone out. NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKF Furnace Worker Will Iteiiiniu at Work ew I n Ion Proponed. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Aug. 13.-A telegram from Youngstown. says that the furnace workers have decided not to strike. The executive commlltfe of the Furnace Workers' Union of the Mahoning and Shenango valleys met Pi that city to-day to receive and take action upon the report of the subcommittee appointed to investigate the rumored hale of the output of thefurnaes of the two valleys to the United State Steel Corjoration. The subcommittees rtndlng was to the effec that the rumor was correct, but the exeiiitive committee, after a long discussion of the situation. In view of the fact that the steel corporation has furnace capacity of Its own sufficient to supply its present needs and the further fact that the furnace owners involved have glvn the men as.-urances that If they will continue to worp no pig iron will be shipped under th cr r.tract with the Steel Corporation, the committee resolved that a btrike at this time l.s unadvisable. ' Meantime, It was decided to organize the stock men and all her employes of all the furti.icts of the two ulleyv and then nrpgnlr

all the furnacs of the country, affecting a national organization, which shall be artillated with the American Federation of Labor.

NOT MICH AFFKCTKI1. Output of Over Hie Steel Corporation I Zd.OOO Tonn n Day. NEW YORK. Aug. 13. The average dally output of the United States Steel Corporation, as shown by a tabulated statement made to-day, is 2s.f0 tons. The returns of yesterday showed an output in excess of 2:,(i tons. Aside from thin showing the corporation has nothing to add to tho strike except to say that the situation is encouraging. J. Picrpont Morgan is still absent from the city. Inquiry to-day as to his movements was rnt with the reply that he is still at Newport and that he has not intimated the date of his return. The report thai he may go west to meet h daughter, now in Colorado. Is news to those who profess to be close to Mr. Morgan. One of his friends said: "If he does it will not be for several weeks. In my opinion." Will Try to Influence .ltenrI.i.M CHICACJO, Auk. 13. Without notification to the offleers or members of the Amalgamated Association in South Chicago, Michael F. Titrhe, assistant secretary of t he national body, arrived in Chicago today and immediately set out for the scene of the meeting of last Sunday, which so stirred the national otllcers of the union. Secretary Tighe came clothed with all the powers and prerogatives of President Shaffer, whoso deputy he is, and his first official act was to call together the leading members of the dissenting unions and order a special joint meeting of the two lodges of the association, which will be held in tho Calomet Theater building tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. Steel Strike otes. A strike is on ugain among the punchers, rrarkers ami fitters at the the Pressed Steel Car Company's plant, at Joliet, 111. The men found tho piece work system unsatislactory. A resolution was Introduced in the Texas Legislature vesterday pledging moral and financial support to the steel strikers and requiring members to contribute $1 per day of their salaries to aid the strikers. The resolution went over until to-day. The American Tin-plate Company, at Cleveland, auoce ded in getting one mill out of the six at the Crescent works started yesterday morning with nonunion men. About twenty-five of the latter arrived at the plant during tho night and early yestfctday. Most of them came from Monessen, Pa., and Irondalo (). The eighteen strikers who were arrested for participating in a riot which occurred at Wellsville, O., on Aug. 2. appeared before Mayor Dennis yesterday and renewed their bond for appearance at Common Pleas Court when wanted. John Chappell. vice president of the Amalgamated Association, was present and furnished bond for such of the men as could not procure the required ball of $500. The Central Iibor Union of Kaston. Pa., at a secret meeting Mondav night voted financial aid to the steel strikers. This is probably the Jlrst union labor organization to answer the call for aid sent out by the Amalgamated Association. The Central Union also adopted resolutions thanking the mayor of McKeesport for declaring that city needed no foreign police protection to preserve order during the strike. At a meeting yesterday of the executive committee of the blast furnace workers o the Mahoning valley it was decided to postpone declaring a sympathetic strike until some future time. It was also decided at the meeting to give the Amalgamated Association both the moral and tinancial support of the body, and that the members would assess themselves several days' pay every month during the continuance of the strike. A resolution was introduced at the morning session yesterday of the United Garment Workers of America, In session at Ualtimoic, expressing sympathy with the striking employes of the steel corporation. Requests for financial aid came in the form of letters addressed to the garment workers and signed by President Shaffer and other members of the Amalgamated Association. The garment workers will probably vote a lump sum for the general treasury and may recommend to local unions the desirability of individual contributions. The Milwaukee Journal says that Jeremiah I). Hlok'-y, of Milwaukee, a former vice president of the Fourth district of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, and a man who has twice been offered the presidency of the national association, is being sought as the one to reprtKent a large element in the association when the time arrives for conferring with the United States Steel Corporation for a settlement of the strike. Mr. Hickey Is nn old rolling mill man and lias taken part in many adjustments of warm disputes. 'Secretary Joseph Hishop. of the Ohio State Roan1 of Arbitration, who was in Pittsburg for a week trying to secure a settlement of the steel workers' strike, returned to Columbus yesterday and Imme diately reported the situation to Governor Nash. Mr. Bishop said: "The strike is In a condition now that makes arbitration for the present impossible. I may go back to Pittsburg, but I do not expect lo stay: that Is to say, 1 have no set time for returning So fxr as I know, there are. no negotiations In progress now looking to a settlement of the strike." A crisis will pr bahly occur in the strike at Canal Dover, on Thursday or Saturday The Amalgamated lodges, of Tuscarawas county, met yesterday and decided to Ifihorc the notice of the Steel Corporation requesting them to return to work not later than I hursdny, Aug. la. One of the union men to-day declared his intention to return to work Thursday, and ho has tince been Miirrouuded bv strikers pleading with him not to dese rt them. I here Is muc h un easiness among tho strikers because of the tin eat of the corj r ration to remove the tin nulls from the place. The large works of tho United States nieei uorporaiion at jteuaire. o.. were closed down yesterday, tho managers being unable to secure men to operate it. It Is said no further effort will be made to operate the mill for two weeks. The new lodge of the Amalgamated Association, or ganized at Hellnlre. now has fioo members. Arrangements are being made in event tho American Steel Hoop Company abandons Its plant at Warren. O., to move it to oungstown In accordance with the policy or me company in ceniraiine its plants. A site for the mill has alreadv been selected. The steel hoop mill at Girard will not be moved, as new machinery is being in stalled there. I'Mov officios 1 1 1 : it l Clem Jnrvli and Samuel Lewis Visit Factory Inspector. Clem Jarvis, of Anderson, vice president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Workers of Indiana for the Fifth district, and Samuel Lewis, of Klwood, secretary of the local lodge of the Amalgamated Association, came to Indianapolis yesterday on a mission the nature of which they declined to divulge. Roth men declared, however, when seen in the office of State Factory Inspector Mo Abee. that their visit to this city had nothing whatever to do with the strike of steel workers now pending. "I am satisfied with the outlook of the strike up to date." said Mr. Jarvis, "and think the men will win their fight." When pressed for a statement of his reasons for thU belief Mr. Jarvis said that he could not consistently furnish his reasons, since to do so would make necessary the disclosure of a portion of the plans of the Amalgamated Association. Mr. Lewis assented to Mr. Jarvls's statements, but added nothing on his own account. MAY BE SIGNED THURSDAY. (Til neue Protocol Finally Prepared by the Fiiom at Peking. PF.KING, Aug.g13.

! POLITICIANS IN A FIGHT

si aiiiiim; affray ix iitovr of TUR (HLSHY IIOISU. .NHW YORK. Boston Democratic CoiigreinnnFleet, a Paper' Manufacturer, Wounded Other Implicated. NKW YORK. Aug. 12 A fight which resulted in the stabbing of two men occurred In front of the Gilf-ey House, to-day. The Iolice can give, very little Information about the row, or what led up to It, and no arrests were made. From what could be learned at the hotel, three men, said to be Boston politicians, and whose names the police give as Joseph A. Conry, Patrick Rowen and Joseph J. Norton, started the fight. The Wall-j;aner Manufacturers' convention is being held at the Gilsey House, and a number of the delegates were standing in front of the doorway when the three men ciossed Hrcadway to enter the hotel. Conry. it is a-rserted, had some words with some of the paper men, and in a moment a lively flsht was in progress. William F. Francis, also said to be a wall paper manufacturer, was attracted to the scene from a neighboring rei-taurant, and went to the assistance of his friends. Conry fingers were cut slightly and Francis was wounded in the back and chest. Mr. Francis was seen later at the Sturtevant House. He was Iving on his face in bed with a very painful wound in the back which prevented him lying on it. and a long slash across the chest. The wound in the chest was deep enough at one end to necessitate three stitches being taken. He dictated the following account of the stabbing: "I am a representative of a large wall-paper house In Pittsburg and have been in tho city some days. There are a number of representatives of wall-paper concerns stopping at the Gilsey House. This morning a little before '2 o'clock there were five or six of these men standing in front of the (Silscv when four men came along whom they did not know. These four men were in a very Jolly condition. They had their coats over their arms. When they reached the men standing in front of the Gilsey they jostled against them and then became angry and used abusive epithets. Finally there was a mlxup. I was in a nearby restaurant and ran out and got into the row. Some one drew a knife and slashed me across the chest and when I fell to the ground sat on me and again cut me with the knife, this time In the back." Mr. Francis alleges that the man who did the stabbing was called "Jim" by his companions, and says that the way Congressman Conry was wounded was that he attempted to take away the knife from this man. Conry's version of the affray Is as follows: "I was returning from the Huffalo exposition, accompanied by Alderman Norton, ami on the train we met Alderman Rowen. AVe all three went to the Gilsey House and registered at about '. o'clock. After that we went out and sjent the evening, taking a late meal at a Sixth-avenue restaurant. It was shortly before 2 o'clock when we reached the Gilsey House, and standing outside of it there was a crowd of about a dozen men and before we knew it we were set upon. Suddenly 1 saw someoody make a pass at Norton and I Jumped between them. It was all over In a moment. I got my fingers cut slightly, tho way a man will when a men gets Into a struggle. No knife was used as far as I know." HOSTON. Mass.. Aug. R Joseph A. Conry is th Democratic congressman, elected from the Ninth Massachusetts district, and one of the leading members of his party In this city. Joseph A. Norton, is a member of the Roston Hoard of Aldermen. It is thought here that the third member of tho party is Patrick Rowen, a Hoston Alderman, who is in New York. WELCOME FOR TEACHERS.

O.. Aug. 13. News has just reached her of a Woody race riot at the Rig Rock colored camp grounds. The presence of whites lias always been resented, and when Clyde Rurt, of this city, got into a light with a colored man It was not live minutes until nearly a hundred persons were engaged in a fierce row. Constables were unable to restore order, and one of them, Charlmer Johnson, was struck over the head with a singletree and seriously injured. A dozen people came here to seek the services of physicians. The fight lasted for half an hour, when the whites were forced to flee from the grounds. Reer bottles and clubs were the weapons used.

The action of the Russian government In expelling from Russian foil George Kennan, the noted traveler and writer. Is undoubtedly due to the fact that his writings 1 and lectures have made him decidedly obnoxious to the Russian authorities. Kennan was born at Norwalk, O., Feb. K 184a. Ills opportunities for education were restricted. Tne circumstances of his family made it necessary for him to contribute, to the support of others, and at the age of twelve he began work in a telegraph office. Iteing determined, however, to lit himself for college, he continued to carry on his studies, in which he was daily engaged. He became a very expert operator, and wan successively employed at Wheeling. Columbus and Cincinnati. His work during the years 12 and Ivtf, In the important position he then held, was so absorbing that he finally gave up his hope of a collegiate course. In 1SR4. hearing of the proposed Russo-Amerlcan telegraph, he was eager to Join in the enterprise, and through the friendship of General Anson Stager, of the Western ITnlon, he was appointed for the work. When this expedition was hrought to an untimely end by. the successful laying of the Atlantic table, Mr. Kennan went by land to St. Petersburg, remaining there a year. In the spring ot 1 he returned home. He delivered lectures for two seasons nnd wrote a book on his travels, "Tent Life In Siberia." which was published in 1S70. With the money obtained from these ventures he made a trip to the Caucasus mountains. Most of the winter of 1S70-71 was spent in solitary horseback journey through Daghestan. After his return he was engaged in various occupations. He was connected for a time with an insurance company In New York city, and for seven years reported the work of the Supreme Court at Washington for the Associated Press. He also did editorial work and much lecturing. May 2, 1SS5, he was sent by the Century, of New York, to Siberia to make an especial study of the exile system In that country. He returned In August, 1S86, and his account of his Journey created a sensation and roused public opinion In this country as it has seldom been before. Lecture tours followed. On one of these campaigns he made his last visit to Roston in February, ls&s. speaking before the I'nlversity Club the evening of Feb. 12. While In this city Mr. Kennan. asked as to his statements concerning the prison horrors In Russian and Siberia, said: "Many people in America seem to still think that what I then said must have been exaggerated, even unfounded. Why, everbody in Russia the officials especially know that what 1 said concerning the Russian system was true. They admit It. In their own official records they dwell on the weaknesses and the cruelties of the Russian prison system. In a memorial to the International I'riaon Congress, which convened recently In St. Petersburg, the officials called attention to those evils and trusted that they would le considered with due gravity by the congress. It Is no secret. It is universally acknowledged to be a fact. Of course, when I say this I do not Include the Siberian end of the matter. Owing to the Isolation of that country the strict censorship over everything which is sent out from there, and the general ignorance of the Russians as to what Is going on there, it Is Impossible that the Czar's officials should tie cognizant of what seem to them the petty evils existing In Siberian exile po?ts. One here in the Last might as well be expected to know everything that Is going on In the farthest end of Alaska. What do we really know about Alaska, aside from Information distributed by the newspapers? No, I repeat. I did not exaggerate. I told simply what 1 saw. what Russian offlciaU knew, concerning the prison system In general of Russia. The rett may go for genuine revelation. Moreover, I do not think that there is such bitter feeling against me in Russia as many people here might imagine. Of course, at the time my articles appeared thev were resented officially In Russia, blmp.y on the
