Perhaps it is a little too soon to say that the President Is on the high road to recovery, but he is on the path that leads directly into the high road. As insanity experts have pronounced Czolgocz sane it is to be hoped the court before which ho is tried will rule out all testimony offered to prove his insanity. K any man in the South declared that ho was glad that the President was phot his case has not been reported. But the South has not a large class of persons who read yellow papers. It would give dignity and strength to the national government to make an at tempt on the life of the President, Vice President or member or the cabinet a, capital offense. The President's surgeons agree that his own determination to fight for his life is an important factor in hi3 chance of re covery. He has shown his fighting quail ties before now. When the United States government be Sins to move against a lawless combination of any kind somebody is apt to get hurt. It has never been really aroused on the subject of anarchism till now. The reconsideration of the decision to postpone Indiana day at the Pan-American exposition is fully Justified by the pres ent prospect of the President's recovery. The programme should be carried out ac cording to the original plan. Some men arc born great some achieve greatness, and some wake up in the morning and find themselves famous. Of the latter class is our friend "Jim" Parker, the colored man who grappled so promptly with the President's assailant. Whoever, by speech or writing, on the platform or through the press, inculcates the doctrine of discontent, hatred of capital and contempt for the constituted powers of government is sowing the seeds of anarchy, whether he means to or not. .It was sure to come. A Washington dispatch says that some constitutional lawyers are of opinion that an attempt by Congress tv repress anarchy would bo an invasion of the rights of the States. Some people aeem to think the Constitution deprives the national government of the power. of selfpreservation. If every Stale in the Union would pass a uniform law defining anarchy in a succinct and clear manner and affixing a penalty of fine and imprisonment not so severe but that juries would Impose a discretionary punishment, the evil could bo effectually suppressed. But there should he concert of action. Those excellent people who are planning to give a heavy vote for the Prohibition ticket in the city election will meet with the hearty approval of the Taggart coterie; If Mr. Maguire's friends have money to put Into the canvass they could not make It more effective than to turn it over to the Prohibition committee. The Prohibition candidate for mayor a worthy man is unconsciously funny when he speaks of what he would" do if elected mayor. Ioes he not know that the considerable vote cast for the Prohibition candidate two years ago was not 2 per cent, of the whole vote for mayor? Ho can help th ctndidacy of Mr. Maajuire, and that is all he can do. Several papers, including the Atlanta Journal, demand the expulsion of Senator Wellington from the Senate if there is no evidence that he did not make the renutik attributed to him com-erninj; the attempt on th FresMcnt"?! llf. When it is generally understood thac the Senator declared himself "Indifferent" whether the President lived or died, the demand for his exposition will b almost unanimous. Secretary Gage's measures in aid of the New York banks are bued on a statement of the clearing house that the money Is needed In the regular channel of buslr.es and epclfilly to rne the enormout crops of grain and cotton now ready for the market. The condition has no reference to the attack on the President, and would have ar!en just th same if he had left Buffalo unharmed. It 1 ditinctly a bii.lne.r condition. Dr. Hamilton, professor of mental dires at Cornell University, i of opinion that the act of CzoIko.'z was 'largely due to the deplorabl influence of certain senaattonal papers that have worked upon uch minds as hi." There can be no doubt of that. There i t class of papers In the country the tendencies -.,( whose teachings for years past lus birea tw troduce auch

mental conditions ay lead to the anamina

tion of capitali.-ts and government of11 da I?. tiii; ihi-:miii:ts condition. livery hour that passes now without the appearan.-e of unfavorable symptoms increases the probability of the Preddents recovery. 1'rom a lay point of view the probability has almost reached certainty, ;is l j-hovn by the fact that some of thi President's closest friends have already left Pnffalo in the full assurance that he Is out of danger. Put the attending surgeons are not quite so confident, and with the natural conservatism ef science they heilgc tluir hopeful expression with a reminder that there Is still a possibility that the case m;ty take a dangerous turn. This possibility, already remote, grows more so every lieiur, yet as long as It exists at all careful surgeons will recognize the fact. This is the f-ixth day since the President was shot, and as no unfavorable sisns have appeared up to the present time and as the attending surgeons have reported steadily improving conditions therv Is strong reason to hope that the? crisis is past. There is reason to believe that the official bulletins In the pres ent case have been more guarded and more reliable than those issued in President (Jarliold's case, as the treatment evidently is more skillful. "While the bulletins are carefully worded, they fully justify a hope of the President's certain and rapid recovery. WOMUX AVlltCIIISTS. On general principles one would say that anarchism was a crime for men, not for women. One can think of women in con nection with almost any crime, even of murder, but that of conspiring to overthrow gejvernment and bring about a condition In which no person would have the protection of law seems peculiarly foreign to that sex. Yet some of the most vicious Anarchist leaders of recent times have been women. Louise Allehel caused no end of trouble In Paris, having been once tried by courtmartial and condemned to death, and after her amnesty arrested and imprisoned two or three times. Mrs. Tarsons, wife of one of the Chicago Anarchists who was hanged for participation in the Haymarket riots, became a dangerous preacher of anarchism, and now it appears quite certain that Kmma Goldman was the inciting cause of the attack on President McKinley. Czolgocz says that she "fired his brain," and there is s-trong reason to believe that he heard her recent inflammatory speech in Cleveland. Women sometimes possess exceptional powers as leaders and orators, and in advocating t. bad cause they are all the more dangerous because of the immunity generally accorded to their sex. But no false sentiment should stand in the way of punishing the preachers of anarchism, whether male or female. The present aroused condition of public sentiment and the activity of the police all over the country in searching for Kmma Goldman, who is now under arrest, shows that there is a disposition to locate responsibility and punishment wrhere they belong, irrespective of sex. It is to be hoped this disposition may continue, and that women Anarchists will be held to the same account and receive the samo punishment as their male followers. No woman has ever been as earnestly hunted by the police of the country as Emma Goldman has been during the last few daj-s. She probably Intended to hide until she thought the excitement had blown over. It should not blow over at all as far as she is concerned. If she cannot be punished as a co-conspirator with Czolgocz she should never be allowed to speak in public again. By the way, one statement says she has been traveling for an insurance company and another that she represents a concern that sells office furniture and supplies. If she is in the pay of any company or firm its name ought to be made known. Every person that knows anything about the woman or her recent movements should inform the police. If we are to get rid of the anarchistic breed we must suppress women Anarchists. A ( Unit: AGAINST THE ATIOS. The murderous attack cn President Mc Kinley has brought home to the American people closer than ever before the necessity for more stringent action, not only against Anarchists, but against the pro mulgation of anarchistic views. In this respect It Is found that a republic is not free from the dangers that beset other form3 of government, and that it must unite with them in suppressing a common danger. If the American people are thank ful for the universal and evidently sin cere messages of sympathy from other governments regarding the attack on the President they ought to be willing to unite with other governments in the adoption of common measures against the enemies of mankind. Heretofore we have shown an indisposition to unite in such measures. The dangerous nature of anarchism was either not fully realized or was subordinated to other considerations. When an international anti-Anarchist con Terence was held in Rome in November, 1S0S, all the European nations were repre sented, but the United States was not. This conference was brought about by the assassination of that admirable and" exemplary woman, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, a few months previously. It was the first concerted movement of the kind in which Great Britain had consented to take a part. The two assassinations of American Presidents . that had occurred prior to that time, those of Lincoln and Garfield, had not yet opened the eyes of the people to the danger from this source, because they were not done by avowed Anarchist;. At that time anarchism was regarded in this country as a sort of political creed, akin to socialism, and therefore entitled to the tolerance that protects freedom of thouht and speech. It was a traditional theory of our Constitution that no one should be punished or prosecuted for his political opinion or for his religious creed. The object of the international conference in is:S was to convince the powers that anarchism is not a political -creed, but a cult of crime, an association formed with the avowed object of outrage and murder and of raising up foes to every social system. The programme of discussion, drafted by the Italian government, composed five points, as follows: First To define a "criminal Anarchist." Second To decide that Anarchist outrages must be considered as crimes against common law, and felonies, and not as political offenses. Third To concert special measures against the press which Incites to Anarchist outrages or which carries on the Anarchist propaganda In its columns. Fourth To establish a system of special and summary extradition or expulsion of Anarchists or of persons suspected on reasonable grounds of being engaged in anarchical plots. Fifth To organize a police service commissioned to keep up closer international relutlons. It is probable that if such an international conference were called now this

pfiinmmp?.! would ho renresentfu in it.

Th fact that it was not in caused Mime comment. Recent events have shown that under the teachings of anarchism the popularly chosen head of 'the mildest government in the world is no safer than the hereditary ruler of the most despotic government. The proceedings of the conference were kept secret, and it is not known Just what conclusions were reached. It was Mated, however, that the representatives of Great Britain. Belgium and Switzerland declined to accede to the proposal that foreign Anarchists who may have taken refuge in any state should be surrendered on the demand of their n -spectlve governments. No doubt the United States would have taken the same position If it had been represented in the conference, as it has always gone to an extreme length in the doctrine of harboring political refugees, but the attack on President McKinley is likely to work a decided change in public opinion and in the policy of the government on this ques tion. Just now public opinion would sanc tion almost any measures, domestic or in ternational, for the suppression of a movement that is recognized as a universal menace. But we must be practical and must not be carried away by the excitement o the moment. If the attack on President McKinley should suggest another international conference on the subject this government ought to be represented. Otherwise it should express its sympathy with the efforts of other governments to sup press anarchism, and should take measures of its own to that end. As the would-be assassin Of President McKinley is not only an avowed Anarchist, but a native-born American, the best response the United States can make to the world-wide expressions of sympathy that are pouring in is to enact new and stringent laws for the suppression of a cult that aims at the murder of all rulers and the overthrow of all government. A crime that Is universal in its alms calls for the united action of all governments for its suppression and punishment. As anarchy is a crime against all nations they should all unite in suppressing It. A Washington special to the Journal of yesterday, confirmed by the press dispatches this morning, states that the law officers of the government are trying to bring Czolgocz's crime under the federal laws. The sections under which It is hoped federal jurisdiction of the crime may be had are the following: Section 5508. If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having exercised the same; or if two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured, they shall be fined not more than J3.U00 and imprisoned not more than ten years, and shall, moreover, be hereafter ineligible to any office or place of honor, profit or trust created by the Constitution or laws of the United States. Section 5fJ. If in the act of violating any provision in either of the preceding sections any other felony or misdemeanor be committed the offender shall be punished for the same with such punishment as is attached to such felony or misdemeanor by the laws of the State in which the offense is committed. It would conduce to the ends of justice if the case could be tried in the federal court, because that would mean a speedy trial and judgment, but it is doubtful if it can be. The sections quoted are from a law passed in 1S70 to punish crimes against the elective franchise and the civil rights of citizens, and it would require a forced construction to make it cover the case of a personal attack on the President. If so it would apply equally to a similar attack on .a private citizen and would give the federal courts concurrent jurisdiction with state courts in all cases of murder or attempted murder. This certainly was not the intention of the law. Moreover, the law only applies in case of a conspiraej-, and it is not certain a conspiracy can be proved in this case. In the case of the Haymarket Anarchists, several of whom were hanged, Judge Gary, of Chicago, before whom the trial was had, charged the jury that if any one of the defendants attempted to overthrow the law by force and threw the bomb which caused death, then all the defendants who were in the conspiracy were guilty of murder. If there was a conspiracy and the defendants were party to it, they were guilty of murder although the date of the culmination of the conspiraej- had not been fixed. This charge was based on common law. On appeal to the Supreme Court of Illinois that tribunal sustained this view. In it3 decision the court said: If the defendants, as a means of bringing about the social revolution, and as a part of the larger conspiracy to effect such revolution also conspired to excite classes of workingmen in Chicago into sedition, tumult, and riot and to the use of deadly weapons and the taking of human life anil for the purpose of producing such tumuli, riot, use of weapons, and taking of life, advised and encouraged such classes by newspaper articles and speeches to murder the authorities of the city, and a murder of a policeman resulted from such advice and encouragement, then defendants are responsible therefor. This principle Is susceptible of a wide application in cases of crime as the result of conspiracy, and eeuiUl be made to reach every person who aided or abetted Czolgocz in his plot against the President. Herr John Most, of New York city, one of the best known of the professed Anarchists, told a reporter of the New York Tribune Saturday that he would bo prosecuted if he should publish in his paper some of the sentiments which appear in tho yellow papers of New York. Speaking of Czolgocz and what led him to shoot the President. Most said: This man had probably been reading In the yellow journals about the Hosts and how they were treading on th.- workingmen. He hrul probnhly bey n looking at their cartoons day after day. Thev ate enough to make an assassin" out of anv man who has the interest of the workingmen at heart. Those who fall in with the gentlemen who here represent the hay interests of the country are assured that they are not men of straw. THE JESTERS. A Delicate Problem. Puefc.

Aftftiafcri in the Reception of Rhode Islander Yeterda Nights Chilly . for the Soldiers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BUFFALO, N. Y.t Sept. in. Toward evening yesterday the cool lake breeze made the air very chilly and overcoats and capes were worn by most of the sight-seers on the Midway at the exposition. The dress parade was commanded by Major C. 8. Tarlton. with Capt. II. B. Mahan acting adjutant and the Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Indiana troops participating. The . Indianapolis Eight Infantry made a visit to all the Midway shows last night, after which they witnessed the illumination, which is one of the grandest sights of the exposition, but when "taps" were sounded all were in their beds. No one had any desire to linger on the outside of the guardline, the day's sight-seeing being so exhausting. Although Captain McClaln had brought blankets along, this morning the men complained of the chilliness of the night. Good arrangements have been made for feeding the company and this important factor has been attended to without the general "kick" coming from the men. This morning the Governor of Rhode Island, accompanied by all the members of his military staff and state officers, arrived on the grounds and the military escort was in waiting to receive him at the south entrance to the grounds. The Seventh Heavy Artillery, armed with rifles and acting as infantrj bad the right of the line. Then came the Indianapolis Light Infantry (Capt. McClaln), followed by two companies of the Massachusetts National Guards; one company of Sons of Veterans, one company of United States marines with B Troop, First Rhode Island, acting as the Governor's personal escort which, after marching around the grounds, stopped at the Music Hall, where Mr. Milburn, president of the exposition, delivered an address of welcome to Rhode Island's chief executive and visitors. The Indiana and Rhode Island troops were constantly applauded along the line of march. To-morrow the Light lnufantry will visit Niagara Falls in a body. To-day was Spanish war veterans' day and hundreds of delegates were in attendance. Col. Russell B. Harrison, Capt. W. E. English and Capt. Frank S. Clark, all of Indianapolis, are here to represent the interests of Indiana at the convention. Saturday next is Indiana's day, at which time an immense crowd is expected, as it is also railroad and Vassar College day. INDIANA DAY PROGRAMME. It Will Re Carried Ont on Saturday of This Week. Governor Durbln decided yesterday to rescind his action of Monday postponing Indiana day at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, and the programme previously announced will be carried out on Saturday of the present week, the day originally designated by Director General Buchanan after consultation with the Governor. The programme follows: Address of welcome by Director General Buchanan. Response by Governor Durbin. Reading of poem "Old Glory" by author, James Whitcomb Riley. Principal address of the day by United States Senator Charles V. Fairbanks. It is expected that the special train, which will leave the Union Station Friday night, will carry between 200 and 00 lndianians to Buffalo. Most of the members of the Governor's military staff have signified their intention to accompany the Governor and take part in the ceremonies incident to the celebration of Indiana day. In view of the gratifying news of the President's condition that comes from the Milburn house, it is expected Indiana day will be observed as a day of rejoicing and thanksgiving. "BIG JIM" THANKED. Nrjsro Who Knocked Down Czolgocr. Greeted hy Senator Hnnnn. BUFFALO. Sept. 10. James Benjamin Parker, or. "Big Jim" Parker, as he Is generally called, the negro who jumped on the President's assailant on last Friday and would have killed him had he not been pulled off, received a special Invitation from Mr. Ha una to come to see him. The negro has been a lion ever since last Friday. He has sold the buttons off his coat and Waistcoat for sums ranging from Z to $20 apiece, and finally parted with all the clothing he v.ore during the struggle, to visitors who wanted them as souvenirs. It was not until Saturday afternoon, when he had nothing else left, that he had time to get his photograph taken. These went off like hot eakes on Saturday mht. and the photographer expects to work his assistants front now until thf close of the show printing pictures. So when "Hig Jim" came around to the Buffalo Club this afternoon to see the senator from Ohio he was resplend nt in new raiment, and his pockets were lined with greenbacks and jingling with coin. Ho was ab ashed when he was ushered in and found himself a guest of Buffalo's most exclusive club. Senator Hanna came forward with outstretched hand and shook hands warmly with the negro. He made him a little speech, in which he told Parker how brave he was and thanked him for his loyalty to the President and for his promptness in springing to his assistance. The senator nked the neuro te tell him just what happened, and Parker In his recital left out much of the trimming with which b has embl!lish"d his story to hero-worshiping Pan-American visitors. "And if they had not ha' pulled me off I'd ha' saved the police and the soldiers and everybody else a mighty big sight of trouble." was Parker's last remark as the Interview closed. Senator Hanna's. eyes twinkled, but he made no comment. New and Severe Cattle Dlsenae. VANCOUVER. B.

Revenne Receipt to Re Placed in Notional Rank Depositories. WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.-The following announcement was made to-day at the Treasury Department: "The secretary of the treasury hereby gives notice that he will receive and consider proposals for the sale to the government, on account of the sinking fund, 3 per cent, bonds of the loan of WS-1315; 4 per cent, bonds, funded loan of lCt)7; 4 per cent, bonds, loan of 1925, and 5 per cent, bonds, loan of TXH, to an amount not exceeding twenty million dollars. Proposals should be submitted to the secretary byletter or telegraph not later than Thursday, the 12th Inst.; and bonds accepted to be promptly delivered at the United States subtreasury in New York, or to the Treasury Department at Washington. "The right to reject any or all proposals is expressly reserved. E. J. GAGE, "Secretary." The secretary has also directed that Internal revenue receipts be deposited with national bank depositaries up to the par value of all bonds deposited, including the 2 per cent, bonds. This will release about five million dollars. Mr. Gage sent the following telegram to P. D. Tappan, chairman of the Clearing House Association, New York city: "Recognizing the unavoidable influence on general business affairs of a continued absorption Into the public treasury of revenue bej'ond expenditure, I have directed that incoming internal revenue receipts be placed with national bank depositaries until a balance with each is reached equaling the par value of the bonds held as securities from such depositaries. This will divert about five millions from the treasury vaults. The secretary will to-day invite proposals for the sale to the government of twenty millicns of United States bonds, other than the new twos. It is believed that these steps will obviate the otherwise possible embarrassments which are pointed out in your telegram of yesterday." Commenting upon the offer made in his circular. Secretary Gage said that the active movement of crops had btgun throughout the country and he did not desire that the treasury should absorb millions of dollars' that might be in trade channels. The subtreasuries in the West and South have been calling heavily for currency to move the crops, and the amount sent so far is in excess of any year in the history of the treasury. The placing of additional money with the national bank depositaries will divert about $3,000.000 from treasury vaults and put it Into circulation. At the same time the purchase of $20,000,000 in bonds would be a decided relief. The only question now is whether the offers to the secretary will be such as to induce him to purchase the amount he desires or any sum at all. The tendency in offers of this kind is to cause the prices of bonds to rise. Secretary Gage does not Intend to pay above what the bonds are worth and will make no purchase if the offers indicate that the market prices are to be raised. Last April Secretary Gage made an offer to purchase bonds to relieve the constantly increasing addition to the cash balance of the treasury, but he fixed prices at which the government would buy. These prices have governed the purchases of all bonds to this time. The price-limit is now removed for the first time, and offers are asked for, with the supposition that the prices will be such as v.ill permit the secretary to Invest a number of millions of the treasury surplus in a short time. Since the offer of the secretary last April the treasury has purchased a total of about $20,000,000 in bonds, and these have gone into the sinking fund, tnereby decreasing the interest payment of the government. The purchases have been made slowly, sometimes a few thousands on one day and on other days reaching into the hundreds of thousands. TO ASSIST LEMLY. Edwin P. Hamm Will Aid In Conduction the Schley Inquiry. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Mr. Edwin P. Hanna. solicitor of the Navy Department, has been detailed to assist Judge Advocate Lemly in the Schley case. Mr. Hanna combines the qualities of a good civil lawyer with a knowledge of maritime and naval law. Lieutenant Commander Alex. Sharp, who was .r command of the Vixen during the West Indian campaign, and whose notes on the battle of Santiago bay have been said to conflict with those of Lieutenant Hr.rlow, was at the Navy Department this morning, and spent some time in conference with Judge Advocate General Lemly. Ensign tleorge M. Bice, who was in c harge of the Brooklyn's after turnt during the battle, was with Admiral Schley's counsel during the day, and went over the line of testimony he will present before the court. Commander George XV. Baird has presented to Admiral Dewey, as president of the court of inquiry, a handsome gavel, made from a i)ieoc of teak wood, taken from the captured Spanish cruiser Rcina Mercedes, and the admiral has nocopted the same with thanks.

ACTION OF EXECUTIVE BOARD IT LL AUTHORITY TO SEEK A COMmow si: giyi: siiaffer. His First Effort Not Successful Cot Burned nnd Nonunion Workmen Assaulted Last Nijtht. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Sept. 10. President T. J. Shaffer and his adxiers in the general office of the Amalgamated Association hold the power, by authority of th? general executive board of the organization, to settle the stcd strike. Mr. Shaffer and Iii- advisers apparently allowed to-day to lape, after this authority was vested in them, without closing any settlement. On Monthly, it is said, the exe utive board directed President Shaffer, together with Secretarytreasurer John Williams, Assistant Secretary M. 1 Tighe and Ben I. Davis, of the advisory board, to settle without delay on the best terms obtainable. Since then there has been no action developing anything to further a settlement, but it Is paid that President Shaffer is seeking to reopen direct negotiations with the United States Steel Corporation in the hope of getting better terms than thoso submitted to the Amalgamated executive board, as the result of the endeavor last week in New York of the representatives of the National Civic Federation, headed by President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor. The terms securer! by the National Civic Federation were neither accepted nor rejected by the Amalgamated board. Instead, a resolution was passed directing President Shaffer, with the aid of his immeeliate advisers, to s-cure the best possible: settlement in the least possible time. The terms submitted provided simply for a signing of scales for all union plants of the tin-plate, sheet steel and steel hoop companies, e xcept such as had been started since the strike began. The executive committee passed its resolution by a bare majority. Pre sident Shatfer protested against proceeding with so narrow a margin, and suggested that, the members ot the board remain in the city for a possible further conference on Montlay. At the meeting on Monday, It is said, the executive board gave the Amalgamated president unanimous support for the best settlement that he may be aide to secuto and that no conditions were imposed. One member of the board put it this way: "President Shaffer has the means to end the strike. How he Is going to elo it X can t say, but that is what lie has to do.' WILL NOT GO TO NEW YORK. It was reported this evening that President Shaffer would leave town luting the night, presumably for New York, to offer terms of peace to the Steel Corporation olficcrs. At first the Amalgamated president was averse to making any statement on thi?, but finally said: "No. I am not ST ing to New York, and I will go further and say that I do not intend to go to ge to New York at any other time soon." A report from New York to-day that the strike had be en se ttb'd was de meet by Pre sident Shaffer. He also denied that himself er his advisory board bad been directed or ordered by the executive-board to settle the strike. To several of the distant headquarters of members of the executive boanl the r iort was n ut last Saturday and again on Momlay that President ShalJcr was being pushed to end the strike promptly. These members sent these ieports lo their cemstituents to keep them in line while the general executive board remained in session. Since the executive board first urgeel on President Shaffer that he go after a settlement, it is said the Amalgamated president has endeavored, through Cid f Engineer C. W. Bray, of the American Tin l'iate Company, to reopen direct negotiations with the corporation officials with the hope of getting better terms than tlmse secure et through the efforts ef the committee of the National Civic Federation. This failed, it is said, and the "combine" standi to offer no better terms than those given the Civic Federation people. Besides, it is said by representatives of the corporation that just as fast as additional mills are started by the operating officials of th constituent companies of the corporation, they will be added to the grwing list of mills eliminated from the union list. The "combine" officials are busy ith th arrangenient to start Idle mills. The plant at Chester, Va., ordinarily built as a sheet plant, but never operated as such, is scheduled for an early start by the American Tin-plate Company. The strike to-day in this section wai full of exciting incidents, and unless a speedy settlement of the troubles is effected indications point to exceedingly lively times from now on. That both sides are determining on a desperate fight seem evident. The first evidence of this was shown in the early hours of the day, when a gang of bricklayers attempted to enter the National tube plant at McKcesport. The strikers, encouraged by their success in preventing the 1 .."" j workmen secured by the company from entering the mill yesterday, were on hand this morning in great numbers, and when the bricklayers made their appearance to go iu to make repairs the strikers turned them back. No actual violence resulted, but had the workmen Insisted on the ir right to enter some persons would surely have been hurt. The tube workers who were turned back yesterday did not venture a second attempt to-day. and the plant is to-night dark and idle. It was reported that the management had come to Pittsburg to secure the protection of Sheriff McKinley, but to-night the sheriff said no call had been maele upon him. "However," he said, "if the managers of the tube works think their property Is in danger I shall do all in my power to pro-te-ct th m." The Demmlcr tin plant was in partial operation to-day and the managers say accessions to the number of their workmen will be maele daily until it Is in full operation. This notice was po-te-d on the fence nroiinel the Dcmmhr mill at noon: "Referring ti notieo of Aug. 27, Issued by the Arne iiian Tin Plate Company, we state that tlx- same conditions rxi.-t to-Iay. Negotiations are on foot for a settlement of the strike-, and th iv-mmler mill will now an? fnr-ver after be run tho same as other mills jf the company nonunion." BONFIRE OF COTS. It was announced to-day that the Moriongahela tin plate works on the South Side, Pittsburg, would be started Mon. In preparation for this meic. the company this enin ende-nvoreel to place Jn. the pl.mt cots and provisions for the? benent of the worker--.
