ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871, SOME HOPE OF PEACE y Fainy Glimmer Penotrates Darkness of the Prasent Btrike Situation, STEEL COMPANIES ARE FREE TO FIX IT Prosident Bhaffer Places Them in Pesition to Rezew Arbitration, NO CONTRACTS ARE BEING VIOLATED Auseciation's Oonstitution Understeod Al- ways to Govern, NONUNIONISTS GET T0 HYDE PARK SAFELY Hvade Unton Guards Without Trouble by Hurrying from Train Directly Into Milla—Arrested Strita ers Relensed, PITTSBURG, Aug. 6.—Just a faint glim- gmer of hope that the great steel workers' strike will be settled was embodied in a statement glven out by President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association tonight. When asked If ho would pursue the same policy in ordering a strike in the mills of the Federal Steel, the Natfonal Steel and the National Tube companles as he did in call- 1ng out the men in the mills of the Ameri- can Tinplate company, he replied: “If it had not been for this determimation on my part, the general atrike would have been ordered on Saturday night.’ Before calling out the tin workers and after failing to get any satisfaction from the officials of the American Sheet and the American Hoop companies, President Shaffor sent a telegram to Vice President Warner Arms of the American Tinplate company notifying him that he would be ob- liged to call out the tin workers in all of the mills owned by the United States Steel corporation unless the dificulty was settled within a period of ten days. As a result of this notice Mr. Arms succeeded in getting together another conference and a vain at- tempt was made to settle the dispute and prevent a strike which would involve the conference was Hotel tin mills, That that broke up in the weeka ago last Sunday Others In order to be equally falr to the other constituent companies of the United States Steel corporation and accord them the same treatment, President Shaffer has sent a similar notice to the officers of the Federal Steel company, the National Steel company and the Natlonal Tube company, giving them the sanie time in which to make any effort they may desire to bring about a settlement or he will put In force this same clause in the Amalgamated association con- stitution, It Is presumed that delay in is- suing the general order will be at least un- 1l the end of the present week.' Possibly 4t will not bo Issucd until early next week. In the meantime the men in the mills of theso three companies will be prepared to come out when the strike order is issued. The possibllity of a settlement of the strike is based in the bare hope that the officlale of the three additional companies will bring to bear sufiicient Influence to urge an adjustment of the difficulty before the strike order is issued. {dent Shafter d1d not express any hope that this would be done, nor did he even discuss the matter, but the inference was quickly seen that there was such a probability in sight. It is a faint one though and but little interest was taken in it in the general offices of the as- sociation today. When President Shaffer and the officers got down to business this morning they found hundreds of letters and telegrams awalting them. The burden of work before them was so great that they wera forced to close the doors of the offices and keep out all callers. Assistant Secretary Tighe explained the situation to all who came, paying that the work was of too serious a character to be neglected or passed over Ughtly the one Lincoln three o Have Sa siderntion, Conatitution Saves Them. It was nearly 6 o'clock tonight before ac- sess was gained to the headquarters of the strikers. In an interview given out at that tme Mr. Shafter sald he would delay calling out the other union men in the mills of the United States Steel corporation for the rea- sons stated above. He said that he be- leved that the strike was on for some time. He was convinced that it would be a victory for the workers in the organization and that it would be an impossibility for the trust to crush them by their present methods, Regarding the publication of charges that the Amalgamated assoclatton would be vio- lating contracts with the constituent com panies of the trust, with which they had signed scales for the present year, Pre dent Shaffer sald that all contracts and weales aro signed at all times subject to th provisions of the constitution of the Amal- gamated association. This constitution was in the hands of all the oMcials of the com- panios affected or likely to be affected and they are fully aware of the provisions that 1t coniains for this very difficulty. It was false, and he sald whoever had deliberately made this statement was elther a knave or agltator. Something Dolng In Town. The strike history of the day in Pittsburg Atself i not prolific of results; considerable however, was dolug in towns surround In this ity all of the idle mills are in the same conditlon as before the fallure of the conforence to settle the strike and no ap parent move s belng made by the manufac turers to start the mills, consequently there has been no break in the strikers’ ranks The most important strike points tonight teem to be Leechburg and Wellsburg, with MeKeesport a possible trouble center. From Leechburg this telegram was received At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Hyde Park mill, which has been idle since first of this year, was started.

The best way to carry out a plan is to speak much of it. For this reason it appears that many Cubans desire annexation and look to most of the prominent chiefs of the revolution to support the movement, but they have tried to convert to the doctrine gome very old heretics. “The Platt law solved the question. The constitutional convention was not to blame, as it bhad fired the last cartridge in de- fense of absolute independence.” There was no meeting of the constitu- tlonal convention today, only twenty dele- gates presenting themselves, Senor Giberga recently refused to sub- acribe to a fund being raised in the con- vention in ald of the mother of Marti, de- claring that Marti was the evil genlus of Cuba and that his memory would be ex- ecrated by history. Senor Cisneros urged the convention to exact an apology from Senor Giberga or to compel him to resign. Senor Giberga de- clares that he will not return to his seat in tho convention until the matter fs sete tled and that he will publish a manifesto to the country, giving his reasons for thinking as he does of Mart. SEEKS TO ALARM FILIPINOS Pretend il & Succeasor to Aguinaldo ues Threatening Pro- MANTLA, Aug. b.—Miguel Malavar, who has been recognized as the successor of Aguinaldo by the Filipino junta at Hong Kong, has issued a proclamation dated July 5, coples of which arrived here this morn- ing, glving assurances to the natives of the continuation of an active campalgn and expressing hope for its successful issue. The proclamation, of which 60,000 coples have been printed, purports to emanate {from Batangas. It 1s a characteristic in- surgent document, charging the Americans with all sorts of atrocities. It recounts the losses of guns and am- munition and the death of four distin- guished American officers July 10, all of which, it says, the authorities concealed. Tho proclamation threatens General Callles with death for treachery and warns all Filipinos who surrender that they will never be able to live outside the American lives. Malavar claims he bas suffcient | arms and supplies to continue the fighting indefinitely, The American officfals belleve the pro- clamation was really written by Agoncillo, tho former representative of Aguinaldo in Europe, at Hong Kong and that he, proba. bly, has never seen Malavar. Strong ef- forts are beiug made by the police to pre- vent the distribution of the proclamation. — CRITICISE SENATOR GORMAN aryland Republicans Prepare Show Up Various Democratic Weaknesses. BALTIMORE, Aug. 5.—Republican leaders from all parts of the state are in Baltimore tonight, getting ready for their state con- vention, which will be held here tomorrow. The work before them is the nomination of candidates for state comptroller and clerk of the court of appeals and the formulation of a platform. But little time will be taken | up In carrying out the program, which has | already been mapped out. Either Dr. Is N. Barber of Talbot county or Herman S. Platt of Baltimore will be selected to head the ticket, with the chances in favor of the latter, although it is understood that Dr. Barber, who has served his party In con- gress, could have It if he wanted to make a fight for it. The court of appeals clerk- ship will in all probability go to Colonel Thomas S. Parran of Calvert. | The platforn: has been the subject of con- | siderable thought upon the part of the head men in the party. United States Senator | McComas and State Chairman Philips Lee | Goldsborough put the finishing touches on the planks to be submitted. These are understood to include strong pledges on behalf of the republicans to repeal the present election law, to enact laws to pre- vent corrupt practices in connection with | elections and to pass laws to govern the ! holding of primary elections. One of the planks, it is understood, will contain severe arralgnment of the democrats for their uncertain stand on the curency ques- tion, which fs designed as a criticlsm of | former Senator Gorman.

Vis- itors to the castle began names in a book placed for the purpose in the hall It 1s said the cause of death was dropsy accompanying the cancer. The remarkable vitality of the dowager empress astonished her physiciane. She retained consclousness to the end. The castle grounds are now surrounded by soldiers and patrolled by hussars and mounted police. At § o'clock this evening Emperor Wil- lam conducted the members of the dow- ager empress' household into the dcath chamber and led them, one by ome, past the bedside, to take a last farewell of their mistrees. BERLIN, Aug. 5.—The announcement the death of Dowager Empress Frederic was published here too late for comment In the evening papers, with the exception of the Frelsinnige Zeitung, which recalls her herole bearing during her husband's last days, “when she silently endured the heart- less allusions of the Chauvinietic German press.”” This Journal also praises her “dig- nified self-effacement” since the death of Frederick the Noble, Soon after the announcement was made the flags on all the public bulldings in Berlin were half-masted. It is taken for granted that the interment will be at Friedenskirche, Potedam, by the side of Emperor Frederick, but the date of the function fs not yet known publicly. The papers assert that the dowager em- press long ago adopted her husband's motto, “Learn to suffer without complaining.” She recently ordered that the public should be excluded from the grounds of Friedrichs- hoff, saying: “The world shall not learn what I am sufferi I will not be pitied in my misfortune, of Premature Announcement. HOMBERG, Aug. 5.—A premature state- ment that the dowager empress was dead was given out officially at Homberg castle shortly after noon. Coples were posted {n half tho shop windows of the town. The blinds were down In the windows In many residences and all flags were half-masted. A little later the principal street of Hom- berg was filled with shoppers buying black. Then came word that the news was false, Thero seems little doubt that the me: ge came from Friedrichshoff, although who sent it no one seems to know. Count Mar- shal Haupt, who gave out the inaccurate an- nouncement, has been summoned to Crou- berg. The false news was telegraphed widely and many German citles displayed signs of mourning. When the official contra- diction was sent there was scarcely any one who belleved it. One by one the little shops brought out flagpoles bearing German colors At half-mast, with crape above and below. en the cottages were decked with a scrap of black. Soon after nightfall Emperor Willlam, ac- companied by the empress and the crown prince, drove back to Homberg. Whether the body will le in state has not yet been determired. The details for its removal to be interred by the side of the remains of Emperor Frederick will be discussed in Homberg tomorrow. The dowager empress knew her days were few. She had said farewell to most of her servants. It i understood that she had ar- ranged for the future of nearly every one of them. She had expressed a desire that not much should be known by the public concerning her disease, lest some should be saddened by the knowledge of her sufferings. There was much reluctance {n summoning King Edward, as it was not desired that he should have a long wait. He and Queen Alexandria will leave here for Marlborough House tomorrow. It is not likely they will start for Berlin until Wednesday. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—A dispatch was recelved at the State department today from Ambassador White, announcing the death of the dowager empress of Germany. The dispatch was sent to the president at Canton.

The man- agers of the several candidates each asserts confidence in the victory of his man, but be tween estimates that radically differ and statements that flatly contradict but one fact {s evident, and that Is that the convention will be a battle royal from its beglnning. The wup- porters of A. B. Cummins declare he will recelve the nomination, while the anti-Cum mins men say they will make a fight fn tho | cancuses that will prove a surprise to Cum- mins and they confidently predict that they will control the makeup of all the impor- tant committees, Nothing definite can be foretold regard- ing the republican state convention. Dele- gates have been coming in all day, but all have been good natured and quiet and thus far there is no indication of the bitter- ness which hac been promised. There fs the best of feeling among the varlous man- agers for candidates and numerous confer- ences held . Flela Againat Cummins. At a conference between the leading three candidates for governor, except Cumming, arrangements were made for a managing committee to look after their mutual inter- ests, to represent the fleld against Cummins. as L is Important that the defeat of Cummins be made sure before anything else. Har- riman named on the committee Edward Knott of Waverly, United States marshal; Herrlott named Ernest E. Hart of Coun- { el Blufts, national committeeman; Trewin named one whose identity was not made known. These three were named as an ad- visory body: James E. Blythe of Mason City, H. G. MeMillin of Cedar Raplds und H. 0. Weaver of Wapello. State Chairman Blythe stated this evening he had refused to serve on the committee. Herrlott's men disavow any connection with the movement. Tho anti-Cummins men claim that it Cummins s not nominated on two ballots they will defeat him and are showing great confidence, but Cummins eays he will be nominated on the first ballot and has no doubt of his success. As a part of the movement to concentrate against Cummins 1t {s stated that Trewin will be the first candidate withdrawn and this may occur before a ballot is taken. There has been much talk today In favor of the renomination of Governor Shaw In case there is a deadlock. The governor 1s here and his friends are urging that ho is the loglcal candidate.

There are three contcsts to come before the com- mittee, involving in Jackson county sixteen votes, In Carroll county twelve votes and in Polk county elght votes.
