GEORGE DECIDES UPON AN IMPORTANT INNOVATION 5 AKLAND, July Lodge of the Order of St. George, which has just concluded its ses- sions in this city, was not only the most notable gathering in the history of this most popular Anglo- American society on this coast, but it initlated a forward movement calculated largely to Increase the strength and in- fluence of the order. During the past vear the organization has increased in size within the Pacific jurisdiction so that it is now entitled to | two representatives in the Supreme Lodge | | instead_of one, as formerly. Heretofore | only adults of English birth have been | admitted, and the order has existed ex- | clusively for soclal purposes. This Grand | | Lodge “adopted resolutions in favor of | widening the basis of eligibility for mem- | bership so as to admit all born British | subjects—Irish, Scotch and Welsh as well | as English; in favor of establishing a ju- | nior branch of the order, and favoring | | the addition of an insurance feature to{ the scope of the order’s activities. | | _Reports received from the various subor- | | dinate lodges showed a prosperous condi- | i tion pervading it throughout the Pacific | branch of the order, outdid itself in mak- ing arrangements for the entertainment of the Grand Lodge. Two banquets were tendered the visiting delegates, and they were shown over the city In carriages be- tween the business sessions. Eighteen lodges, ranging in _location from San Diego to Vancouver, were represented by delegates, and they uniformly reported growth in membership and interest. The Pacific jurisdiction of the Sons of St. George is overwhelmingly and loyally American, though it numbers many Brit- ish subjects among its membership, one of whom, Thomas Bradbury of Nanaimo, B. STRIKE 15 GIVEN UNEXPEGTED AID Duncansville Men Vol- untarily Decide to Walk Out. July 18.—Most important of all news regarding the steelworkers’ strike that reached Pittsburg to-day was the action of the men employed in the Duncansville plant of the American Steel PITTEBURG. Hoop Company. A telegram was re- celved by President Shaffer from the men in the morning, asking if they should strike. The message was a surprise for the Amalgamated people, as they were not looking for this news so soon. Presi- dent Shaffer answered, telling the men not to go out unless they were organized. If | they should strike, for they Were needed. In the afternoon a telegram received from Duncansville, asking organizer be sent to them at organized, | was | that an | once. | _In compliance with this President John Plerce startea for Dun- | cansville this evening to complete the or- ganization. The Duncansville plant is the last of the hoop plants to remain at work, and the Amalgamated Association officials say that if they are successful in closing it they will be masters of the situation, as far as the steel hoop company is con- cerned, at least. | Police Fear Trouble. In the immediate vicinity of Pittsburg the evident intention of the company to attempt the reopening of the Dewees- | Wood plant at McKeesport is the only incident 8o far calculated to cause uneasi- uess. The notices posted to-day are placed with the probable expectation of obtaining the early return to town of many-of the workers who have gone on fishing and other vacation trips. The men claim to be confident that enough men cannot be secured to operate the mill and say no opposition will be made to any who wish to go in. The police authorities, though, going on the principle that in time of peace it isbest to prepare for war, have taken every precaution and feel pre- pared to cope With any trouble that may A dispatch to-night from Monessen says: “In spite of all efforts to the con- trary, the tin mill here is still running, request Vice and, as far as present appearances point, it promises to not be affected in the slightest by the strike.” Shaffer Goes to Wellsville. The following was received to-day from Wellsville: “The storm center of the great strike was to-day moved from Pittsburg_tothis little Columbiana County village. News that the Wellsville plant of the American Sheet Steel Company was now in shave to run in full and that men would be imported from Vandergrift, Pa., and other points to work all mills! caused President Shaffer of the Amalga- mated Association to ‘rush here from | Pittsburg to give courage to the striking millmen. “The Amalgamated officials, Trustee John A. Morgan, Vice President John A. Chapelle and President Shaffer were al- most smothered by the crowd which ed them here on thelr arrival. cession o lowed them to the city hall, where the | public meeting was held, and at which President Shaffer was the principal speaker. About 2000 people were crowded into the hall before the party from Pitts- | burg reached the platform. The address | of President Shaffer was listened to with | deep interest. President Shaffer cautioned the men to keep within the bounds of the | law, and, above all, to abstain from | drinking.” | Firemen Must Resume Work. | | WILKESBARRE, P: July 18.—The | | coal operators and_the striking station. | ary firemen of the Wyoming Valley take opposite views of the action of the execu- | tive committee of the United Mine Work: ers, which met in Scranton to-day. Th | committee decided that all firemen who | are members of the United Mine Workers® | | organization must return to work. | The operators think this 1s a severe | blow to the men on strike, and one from | | which they cannot recover. On the other | | hand the strikers claim that it will not | affect them much, as oply a compara- tively few firemen belong to the United Mine Workers. It would seem that a | settlement of the strike now rested with | the mine employes ~ themselves and not | with the operators. The United Mine Workers have apparently declared for one policy and the stationary firemen for another. There are 70,000 miners in the | Wyoming and Lackawanna region and only about 1800 firemen. If the coal com- | panies can secure enough firemen who are members of the United Mine Workers to do thelr work in the boller-rooms there is nothing to prevent them from start- ing their collieries. Chinese Population Decreasing. WASHINGTON, July 18.—A bulletin is- tued by the Census Oftice to-day shcws that there has been a decrease of the Chi- nese population in the United States since 1890.0f 17,665, the number now here being £9,600.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., July 18.—The Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress to-day completed the most important of its work by adopting resclutions covering a multitude of subjects of Interest to the great West, and selecting the Twin Citles —St. Paul and Minneapolis—as the next place of meeting. The only debate of the sesslon which at any time threatened to disturb the harmony of the oceasion came up over the resolutions proposing the es- tablishment of Government departments of mining and of commerce and industry The friends of the former feared that the adoption of the latter would be inimical to their hopes, the danger being that the mining- industry might be relegated to a bureau of some other department. The de- bate was led by H. R. Whitmore of St. Louis and F. I. Thurber of New York on the side of the department of commerce and industry. Hon. B. F. Montgomery, Speaker of the Colorado Legislature, and former Governor Adams of Pueblo, Colo., spoke fon the mining department. Finally, on motion of ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico, the industrial feature was strick- en from the resolution advocated by the Eastern delegates, and both departments were then unanimously indorsed. Many Recommendations Made. Governor Fishback of Arkansas, chair- man of the committee on resolutions, read the report of the committee, which was adopted after considerable debate. Among other measures it favors the construction by the general Government of reservoirs and_canals for the reclamation of arid lands, and the enactment of laws, State and National, to encourage the construc- the rain- fall; suggests the issuance of bonds by the Government with which reclamation of arid lands may be accomplished, the money to be refunded by the settlements in the purchase price of the lands: favors statehood for Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma and a suitable government for X J.

The investigation into the recent theft of $30,000 in gold from the Mint and the inspection of the treasure in the building have finished. The counting of the $47,000,- 000 concluded vesterday. with the result that no shortage was discovered in the sacks of treasure. The full report of Director Roberts and Secret Service Agent Hazen of thelr in-| vestigation of the robbery is now in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Wilkie of the secret service de- partment. It now remains with the officials in Washington to decide if any arrest shall be made. At the Mint yesterday no state- ment was given out. It is known that the report forwarded to Washington exonerates Cashier Cole from any negligence or blame in the mat- ter of the robbery. Superintendent Leach will be called upon to make good the amount stolen. EARL RUSSELL bOE3 10 PRISON House of Lords Gives Him a Term of Three Months. J Accused Nobleman Pleads Ig- norance of the Law as His Defense, ok e LONDON, July 18.—Farl Russell, ar- | raigned at the bar of the House of Lords | to-day on the charge of bigamy, pleaded | guilty after lengthy arguments against | the jurisdiction of the court. The trial was carried on with all the quaint middle- age ceremonles. The arguments lasted | one hour. Both the Earl and the Coun- | tess (Mrs. Somerville), through their coun- , pleaded that they did not know they | were doing wrong, but had acted on the | best legal advice obtainable in Nevada. | The Peers reached their decision after | consideration of the case, lasting twenty | Earl Russell was sentenced to minutes. as a first- | three months’ imprisonment { class misdemeanant. | In anticipation of the arrival of Lord | Russell the officials of Holliday Prison | have prepared for his reception one of the | rooms formerly occupied by Willam T. | Stead, the editor, and members of the | Jameson raider It is a commodious apartment, in which his Lordship can ba supplied with his own food and wines. Ancient Ceremonial in Force. The scene in the Royal gallery, teme porarily converted into a court of justice, when the Lord High Chancellor, Lord Halsbury, who had been appointed Lord High Steward for the occasion, took his seat upon the dais and the quaint cere« monial began, was most picturesque. The hall was a magnificent blaze of color, pro- | duced the robes of the Peers, the aca- | demic robes of the Judges and’ the bril- | lant uniforms of his state officers. Al- | though the House of Lords was not rep- | resented In its full sjrength, about 200 of | Earl Russell's peers attended his trial and | made an imposing array as they filed into the hall, two by two, from behind th throne. Lord Salisbury, the Premier, | brought up the rear of the procession and was almost unnoticed as he took his seat near Lord Halsbury. Immediately beneath the dais sat tha | ten Judges in their gorgeous robes, sur- | rounded by a phalanx of lesser legal | lumiraries. On either side of the Judges were ranged five benches filled with Peers, | whose ranks were distinguishable by the varying number of rc of ermine and gold lace on their scar mantels. The benches reserved for Peeresses were amply filled, while the space allotted to distinguished strangers was crowded with | the diplomatists and their families, in- cluding the United States Embassador, Joseph H. Choate the Secretary of the United States y, Henry White. | Mollie Cook, ot Mrs. Somervil! | Barl Russell's pr wife, entered t | hall by ticket and sat facing the benches | occupied by members of the House of ace | Commons. " She s mpanied by a young woman d in gray and wear- | ing a hat trim: ith cream lace. Mol- lie Cook appea o more concerned tham the other witnesses of the interesting scene. Nevada Judge Present. mong the witnesses who entered the hall was Judge C of Nevada, who took a_seat de the clergyman who | married Earl Russell to Mabel Scott, his first wife. The court was formally opened with a series of quaint ceremonies and the ex- | change of stately phrases prescribed in the ancient legal procedure. Beside Lord Halsb in robes and a wi chael Biddulph, | black rod, and William Henry Weldon, | Esq., the Norroy-king-of-arms, in a re- L ndent tunic. ““Qur soverelgn lord and King,” shouted the Norroy-king-at-arms, “charges and commands all manner of persons keep silence on pain of imprisonment.” Another official, on bended knee, handed the commission to the Lord High Chan- cellor, who, while handing it to another kneeling clerk, sald: “Let all be uncovered while the com- mission is read.” After the necessary ceremonies, Earl Russell was conducted to the bar. He calmly surveyed his Judges and Peers. Then a clerk of Parliament cried loudly “John Francis Stanley, Earl Russell, come forth and surrender to ball or for« feit recognizance.” “How Say You, My Lord?” Then Black Rod, bedecked with medals and in uniform, approached the bar, which was raised as the Earl drew near, and surrendered Earl Russell. _Upon | reaching his appointed seat, Eari Russell | stood leaning against the table and then | made obeisance three times to the Lord | High Steward. He remained with bowed head until the latter addressed the ac- cused. Then the indictment was read by the clerk, who concluded with these word: “How say you, Lord, guilty of my felony, or_not gullty?” | Before Earl sell could answer his | counsel objected to the indictment on tha | ground that the alleged offense was com- mitted outside the dominions of His Ma- Jesty, King Edward. During the course of the technical and tiresome argument by the Earl's counsel the prosecution summoned Judge Curler within the bar to confer on certain points raised in coun- sel's argument. After the reply of the prosecution to the argument of counsel for the defense Earl scarcely audible, Russell, in_a voice pleaded guilty. His counsel then ad- dressed the House in mitigation, urging that the accused had acted on the best legal advice obtalnable in Nevada, that the offense was me: technical and that no harm had been do Lord Russell ad- dressed the House in the same strain, say- ing the decree received in the United States gave special sanction to a new marriage. Earl Russell_said he proposed to re- marry Mollie Cook as early as possible. Conciuding, he said he placed himself in their Lordships’ hands, that he had acted in ignorance and with no intention of willingly defying the law The peers retired to consider their ver- dict. When they had reassembled the Lord High Steward called for the prison- er. The whole House rose to its feet when | the Lora High Steward proceeded to de- Hver the judgment. While the crime could not be passed over, said the Lord High | | | | | | | Steward, there were several mitigating circumstances. In consideration of and as a result of th their Lordships had unanimously declared that justice would be satisfled by his being imprisoned in Holloway prison for thréee months as & criminal in the first degree. | MAY FIGHT IN MONTANA.
