He ar- rived in the city last evening and Imme- Qlately entered Into consultation with the state game commission. The opinion of the attorney gemeral will be asked as to the duty of the state. In an extended interview Radeliffe takes the position that neither he nor his men are responsible for the kill- ing of W. A. Womack by Game Warden Malyanney. Radcliffe places his loss in young trout alone at $10,000. He says he endeavored to return to the scene of the trouble as soon as he.heard of the shoot- ing, but desisted because he was told he would be lynched.

The initial address of the day was de- livered by Rev. Willlam H. Anderson of Springfield, TIl, his subject being “The Church and the Liquor Traffic.” Church and Workingman. “The Church and the Workingma discussed by Rev. E. J. Helms of Bostou, who sald: The German soclalist was right—Chris- tlanity and churchianity are not the same. ‘hrist has been compelled to work outside the organized church. The chur represents wealth and culture, but not a ways brotherhood. It costs '‘more to be philanthrople than dogmatic. It s easfer 10 propagate falth than demonstrate love. Bchools and churches are cheaper to found and maintain than hospitals, asylims, orphanages. A Christfan state founds the latter, the church takes more pride in th: material evidences of her falth than her love. Her love of truth is greater than her love of man. The church has not been a fair exponent of righteousness. Better seek the prescrvi- tlon of the Subbath for the sake of man than as @ religlous fastitution. Seek to shorten hours of labor, so we may have not only a day of rest but a rested man for the day. orkingmen readily respond when the church sincerely seeks them and thelr weltare, as is fllustrated by the worth league housework in Boston. Soclety cannot be redeemed by wholesale. Let the church seek the soul of each man as assiduously as It secks the benefuct!i ns of @ Rockefelier or Carnegle.

AUTHOR SAYS HE WILL REVISE PARTS that His Langunge s Too Abusive and Says Proof Sheets Were Not All Shown to United States Oficials, WASHINGTON, July 19.—The secretary of the navy has decided that the third volume of Maclay's history of the Spanish-Amerl- can war shall not be used as a textbook at the naval academy unless the obnoxlois language it contains In characterizing the action of Rear Admiral Schley is eliminated. The secretary says that it would be mani- festly improper to have a history containe ing such intemperate language as A text- book for the cadets. He will inform hoth Commander Wainwright, who fs in command of the naval academy, and Mr. Maclay, tt author of the history, of his de cisfon. In this connection the sec- retary says that the proofs of the entire volume were not submitted to him by the | historian. He received only the proofs of the third chapter, that relating to the mo- bilization of the fleets, which contained a summary of the orders which he, as secre tary of the navy, had issued in making the naval preparations for the war. That chap ter was eatistactory and he returned it to Mr. Maclay with his approval. He says never saw the account of the battle of San- tlago and the criticlsm of Rear Admiral Schley until after the book was published Mr. Maclay was appointed to 1600, having been transferred from the lighthouse service.

Maclay Will Revise. NEW YORK, July 19.—Edgar S. Maclay replied to the criticism which has been made on his historical works deeling with Admiral Schley and the navy during the Spanish war. He sald in part: “I did not appreciate at the time I wrote the book that the terms were immoderate and in- temperate. It is only recently that it has met with adverse criticlsm, It Is now my intention to revise that portion of the work that deals with the battle of San- tlago. But I shall not alter the facts, for they are correct, and I must first be as- sured that they are in error. The proofs were submitted to the officers who took part in the battle of Santiago as well as to Secretary Long and received their ap- proval. I should explain that only those portions of the book were submitted to each officer that related to him personally or to the part he took in the battle. The proofs submitted to Mr. Long dealt with that part of the war that they comcerned. I have no animus against Admiral Schley.” RURAL MAIL SERVICE ORDERS Maclay, the hi:- department clerk. and attached to th urrilous proofs Dewey, stmaster General Issues Two, tended to Prevent Confusion of Different Systems.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 19.—This has been | en exceedingly hot day in Kansas. All the good effect of the local showers of the last week has been lost, 8o far as temperature 106 to 109. The alr has resumed its former dryness and as & result the heat has not been 8o oppressive. While the feeling of utter helplessness altendant upon the drouth has passed, the people of the state do not attempt to deny that the fall crops are in a desperate con- ditton. Farmers are beginning to plow the early rulned cornflelds and sow them in wheat and alfalta to make pasture field for the stock fn the fall and winter. But here an- other difficulty comes in—the ground Is so hard and dry as to make plowing practically impossible. Unless rain comes in time farmers will not be able to plow for reg- ular fall wheat sowing. The Kansae river, running through To- ‘kn, 18 80 dry that green grass is grow- ing in the center of the river bed and the stream can be walked across in some places without the water covering the foot.

INTERESTING THEM SELVES She MERCHANTS Besk te Porsmade Workmen aad Latter Grew Bitter, | MAYOR TAKES SIDE OF THE LABORERS Declares Dusiness Men Are Mising in Where They Rumors Unverified. ve No Business— Settlement PITTEBURG, July 19.—The strike situa- tion tonight cannot be termed materially changed, although many rumors are In the alr that & settlement of the trouble is imminent. Up to 10 p. m. none of theso reports has been verified and the con- clulon reached is that no settlement Is in sight. Al the offices of the Carnegie company and at the headquarters of the manuface turers the usual silence is preserved cone cerniug the condition of business or the status of the strike. President Shaffer of the Amalgamated aclation, however, expresses his entire satistaction with the progress of the bat- tle and says the workers have gained steadily, while the manufacturers have lost continually since last Monday. He ways that the Amalgamated forces contemplate no change In thelr program, beiug per- fectly satisfied with the showing thelr peo- ple have made. President Shaffer says the advance in wages offered the tube mill workers at McKeesport today, while seem« ingly large, will not bricg the pay up to the union scale. Wellaville Factions Bitter. From the storm center at Wellsville, 0., tonight comes word that the strikfng millmen in that vicimity spent an uneasy, restless day. There is no longer any doubt that the owners of the Wellsville plant of the American Sheet Steel company have many of the town's largest merchants back of them in their fight against the workmen and much bitterness has resulted. Con- fronted with what seems a certalnty that It the present trouble goes along much longer the Wellsville plant will be lifted and brought across the line into Penn- sylvania, grocers, clothing men and others who for years have received the wages ot the mill workers in exchange for goods are now trying to show the strikers that they are wrong and foolish in keeping up & fight. Pressure brought to bear along this line, the strikers say, is energy wasted, us they are more determined tonight than before. They are more than angry with the mer- chants. Thbese Wellsville men have heen considered excellent workmen and many of them have money invested in property there, so that should the property be taken to Vandergritt, as is threatened, they would suffer. They do not belleve the promise which accompanies the threat that the mill from Dennison, Ohlo, will be brought to this place in case the present trouble s settled. The [roposition has been put to the strikers In a semi-oficial way that if the strike 1s settied within a reasonable tims the Dennison mill will be brought here to increase the resources of the place and if the contest is long drawn out the local plant will be moved bodily to Vandergritt, Pa. It remains to be scen what effect this line of argument will have on the strikers. Mayor Condemns Merchants, Mayor Dennls openly condemns the mer- chants for their course in the matter and says they are going beyond the'r province in trylng to iofuence the workmen. The plunt here today was running about one-fourtn full. Eighteen skilled work- men, together with about the same num- her of laborers, are working. Tho report tonight from Apollo and Vendergrift, where the Amalgamated association is making strenuous efforts to gain recruits, is that the situation Is practically unchanged, but much uneasiness 1s felt. No ofelal re- port has been received here concerning the situation at Duncansville. The Pittsburg Leader prints the following reference to the reported shortage of tinplate: “Word was recelved here tody that a considerable shipment of Welsh plate 1s now on the water enroute to New York. It s probable that a portion of his will ccme here if the shortage continues. It will be much more costly than the American make, but the exigencles of some of the local coneumers are so imperative that they will pay no attention to cost. 1f long-con- tinued the strike is sure to be a good thing whose trade for some time has been in an apathetic condi- tion ““The American Tinplate company has made no increase in prices for the stock it has on hand and cannot well do so on ac- count of the contracts that it cannot fulfill even with the materfal that is now being worksd up in the tin houses by the finfsh- ers. This supply will be exhausted and shipped within ten days at all plants, when the stoppage in all but the Monessen plant will be complete. The members of the Tinplate Workers' International Protective assoctation will stop work. They have assured President T. J. Shaffer of their support and will refuso to work plate that may be attempted to be turned out by new men. In this way this assoctation, which has 12,000 members and whose scale, averaging a 10 per cent ad- vance, was signed recently, may be drawn into the confilet.” Secret Meeting of Tinpiate Men, A dispatch from Monessen, Pa., says: It has just leaked out that a secret meeting was held by the men of the Natlonal Tin- plate plant, and a large representation of workers decided not to participate in the strike, as they have obtained an advance voluntarily and the management agreed to protect them The nine wen who quit yesterday after- noon in the hot mill of the National plaat were roally dlscharged, It 18 claimed by the strikers, for agitating the strike question.
