LONDON, ELABORATING PLANS FOR THE CORO NATION OF KING EDWARD VII. fXr. POOR SHOWING MADE BY PARLIAMENT -SIR HENRY TAMPBELL-BANNERMAN IN HOT WATER OVER CECIL. RHODESS SUBSCRIPTION TO THE LIBERALS. The New York Tribune IBT CABLE TO THE TIBBUNE.) London, Aug. 17— Court officials are enjoying the first holiday which they have had since the opening of the new reign. The King has kept them employed in a most businesslike way and fits changed all the methods and habits of the court, laying out work for everyone and insisting upon having it done with precision and dispatch. Inquiries have been ordered and new details of organization introduced, until the officials accustomed to the more leisurely ways of the Queen's reign, are fairly out of breath. The arrangements have been made for the coronation with painstaking care, and the plans are now in process of elaboration during the King's absence on the Continent. Four great officials have charge of the coronation ceremonies: the Lord Chamberlain will be master of all details at Buckingham and St. James's palaces; the Master of the Horse and the Earl Marshal will direct the proceedings of the royal procession to Westminster Abbey and its return to the palace; the Lord Great Chamberlain (and the highest court must decide who he is) will have charge of the ceremony at the Abbey and the arrangements for seating the elect among the titled and privileged few. The triumphal progress of the King and Queen on the day after the coronation and the arrangements for entertaining special fmbassies and royal guests are matters of detail already under consideration. Conditions have been transformed since the last coronation, and the ceremony has become vastly more difficult. More difficult to arrange, owing to the increased pressure of titled and privileged people seeking admission to the Abbey. Spaces have been allotted already in the Abbey and plans made for the accommodation of the titled classes and royal guests, and the officials assert that when the ministers, the court officials, the diplomatic corps and the colonial representatives are crowded in there will not be room for anybody else. The problem of accommodating those who can present a valid claim to be present is pronounced in advance utterly impossible. The great majority of those who contrive to gain admission will be where they cannot see what goes on during the protracted ceremony the nave will be crowded, but effectually cut off from a view of the coronation service. The plans of the King for the remainder of the year are stated in many contradictory forms. Apprehensions respecting his health are not well founded. Everybody at court who has been in touch with him asserts that his voice is strong and that he is a marvel of energy. Princess Henry of Battenberg will occupy the apartments in St. James's Palace where the Duke of Cornwall and York formerly lived. The Duke will have Marlborough House, and possibly Osborne House also as a marine residence, although the matter has not been announced positively. There has been a revival of the rumors that the King has decided upon an autumn visit to Balmoral, but this plan has already been made and unmade several times. Parliament was prorogued today in a perfunctory manner, with the usual ceremonies. There is a general agreement among the moralists, who are summing up the record, that it has been a session without energy or enthusiasm, and that the legislative results are unworthy of a party which had won a remarkable victory at the general elections. The Factories Amendment is the only pledge of the King's speech redeemed, outside of military and naval projects, and there is a beggarly array of legislation with renewals of the Agricultural Rates Act and the single educational clause and measures relating to the demise of the Crown, the imperial title of the sovereign, a Pacific cable and a few small Irish projects. There have been an great debates, and such interest as there has been in the proceedings has centered in episodes of petty byplay and factional quarrels behind the scenes. Mr. Redmond has had the only real success as a party leader, although Lord Spencer has done well enough in the House of Lords. The Irish party has again become powerful by virtue of unity of direction and the enforcement of strict discipline. The Liberals have taken the place of the Nationalists as a mob of wrangling factions, and there has not been strength enough in the bow of Unionist leadership. The man has served to differentiate ministerial ineptitude from the turpitude and demoralization of the Opposition. The final echoes from the smoking room of the Commons are snatches of gossip about Mr. Cecil Rhodes' subscription to the Liberal party during the period of Mr. Schnadhorst's management. "The Spectator," with a short letter from Mr. Rhodes and a lone one from Mr. Charles V, returns to the attack upon Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, who must now regret the absence of his denial given to a well-founded statement of fact. The text of the correspondence is promised by Mr. Rhodes, but there is no reason to doubt the fact that he subscribed $1000 to the Liberal political fund with the understanding that Egypt should not be abandoned, and that he was reassured by Mr. Handhorst when he suspected that the money had been secured under false pretenses. Henry Bannerman, by giving the unceremoniously to "The Spectator" and its correspondent, has no doubt been embarrassing. Nobody, supposes that Mr. Rhodes wished the Gladstone government to remain in Egypt by such a meager subscription, or that the Cabinet ever discussed the subject and authorized Mr. Schnadhorst to place its Nile policy in operation. Consciences are not bought and sold. The financial statesman interested in imperialist views made an investment in the Nile and required and received satisfaction. In an annoying manner, the disclosure is annoying to the Radicals, who have denounced Mr. Rhodes as a conspirator, a disturber of the peace in South Africa. Now are confronted with the evidence of his dealings with Mr. Schnadhorst, who has been private Secretary to Mr. Wyndham. Dr. Jameson and Mr. Rhodes, and in confidential relations with South Africa and great officials and capitalists in Africa. His caution and reticence in so the actions of his friends are convinced that Mr. Rhodes made by him were authorized by the people. The motives of this colonial mission, on the fourth page, are for the kidneys. The Brooklyn Daily News, Saturday, August 18, 1901.-2 PAGES, WITH ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT. 16 PAGES. PRICE FIVE CENTS. ALENE SINKS A PILOT BOAT THE TAMES GORDON BENNETT GOES DOWN AND FOUR ARE DROWNED. THE STEAMER WAS BOUND OUT. AND PROCEEDED AFTER GIVING WHAT ASSISTANCE SHE COULD. The pilot boat James Gordon Bennett was run into and sunk off the Scotland Lightship at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the German steamer Alene, of the Hamburg-American's Atlas Line service. Three of the five pilots on board and the cook of the boat were drowned when the vessel sank. The drowned are: GODBEY, John, of Brooklyn, pilot. GRUBE, John, of Brooklyn, pilot. MIX, Harvey, of Glasgow, pilot. The pilots who were saved. are Frank Hopkins and Alexander Dexter. The working crew of the sunken vessel, all of whom were saved, were Eugene McCarthy, Walter Wells, Frank Clarke, Frank Eagan, and a Norwegian named Jensen. All have homes in Brooklyn. The bodies of Mix and Grube were picked up by the steam pilot boat New York, and they were taken to Stapleton. The body of Godbey was picked up by a boat from the Morro Castle. The body of Leonard was not recovered. The James Gordon Bennett left Stapleton yesterday morning bound for the southern station. She was not in a special hurry and the men were reefing sail just before they were run down. The weather was clear and how the collision was possible was last night unsettled. COULD NOT AVOID HER. The survivors say the creamer came bearing down upon the pilot boat and they were totally unable to avoid her. The whole thing happened so quickly and unexpectedly that they were floating in the water before they realized what had occurred. The big steamer struck the pilot boat abaft the rigging, on the starboard side, going through her like a knife and cutting her completely in two. Hopkins and Dexter were asleep in their bunkers when the crash came. They awoke to find themselves in darkness and the water pouring in upon them. The men were in their night clothes, and both struck out for their lives. They managed to keep afloat until rescued. When the steamer crashed into the Bennett there were shouts of terror from the wrecked crew. The crew of the steamer rushed to the side of their vessel and shouted words of encouragement, at the same time throwing life preservers to the men as they sprang from the sinking boat into the water. The steamer, being under full headway, passed on, but soon returned to the scene, and quickly manned and lowered a boat in an effort to save the men of the pilot boat. The pilot boat New-York had come up in the meantime and it was her crew that really performed the work of rescue. One after another the men in the water were filled aboard the pilot boat by willing hands. PROBABLY SUCKED DOWN. The four men who were lost were probably sucked down with the sinking vessel. The boats from the Alene and the New-York cruised about for some time, and at last the bodies of Mix and Godbey were picked up. Both the pilot boat, and the men from the Alene continued to look for the bodies of the other two, but at last gave up the search. The boat from the Alene was then recalled and taken aboard, and the steamer proceeded on her voyage. The Alene is bound for the West Indies. Mix was about thirty-five years old. He was made a pilot by five years ago. He formerly served on the old James Gordon Bennett. He leaves a widow and one child. Grube was about fifty years old. He leaves a widow, but no children. The James Gordon Bennett was formerly known as the David T. Lacey. She was a two-masted schooner and was built about twelve years ago, costing about $20,000. Information from persons on board the Alene obtained by Pilot Miller, who was on her, shows, the police say, that there was some misunderstanding between the captains of the vessels. PARLIAMENT PROROGUED. THE KING'S SPEECH READ TO THE TWO HOUSES AT WESTMINSTER. London. Aug. 17— Parliament wound up its business today and was prorogued. Black Rod (General Sir Michael Biddulph) summoned the Commons at about 4 o'clock to the House of Lords to hear the King's speech. The royal commissioners on this occasion were the Lord Chancellor, Karl Halsbury, the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Ashburne, the Earl of Kinore and Earl Watdegrave. They were all attired in their peers' robes. On the arrival of Commons the speech was read. It says: My Lords and Gentlemen: It is satisfactory to be able to close the first Parliament of my reign with the assurance that the cordiality of the relations of Great Britain with the other powers remains undiminished. A reference to China is merely congratulatory on the attainment of an agreement in regard to the indemnity, security for its payment and the punishment of the most guilty offenders. In regard to South Africa the speech says: The progress of my forces in the conquest of the two republics by which my South African Colonies have been invaded has been steady and continuous. But, owing to the difficulty and extent of the country to be traversed, the length of the military operations has been protracted. The speech refers to the signal success of the Duke of Cornwall and York's visit to the Colonies as "additional proof of the patriotism, loyalty, and devotion of the people of my dominions over the sea." The rest of the speech merely records the King's satisfaction with the liberal provisions made for the naval and military services, the arrangements made for the maintenance of the honor and dignity of the crown, "especially those which affect the state and comfort of my royal consort," and the authorization to change the royal title. It concludes as follows: I earnestly commend you to the merciful protection and guidance of Almighty God. Returning to the House of Commons, the members filed past the Speaker, shaking hands with him, and the first Parliament of King Edward VII was ended. FOR A PREMIUM ARMY CAMP. OFFICERS IN THE SITUATION NEAR DEER PARK, MD. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE Deer Park, Md., Aug 17.—Captain Charles Parkhurst, 4th Field Artillery, U. S. A., is locating a site of three thousand acres near Deer Park for a drill ground for cavalry, infantry, and artillery. Captain Parkhurst, accompanied by Major J. M. Burns, retired, Frederick A. Thayer, and Edward H. Sill, has also inspected sites about Oakland, and was favorably impressed. The government will locate four permanent camps of instruction, or drill grounds, in the United States for training State troops as well as regulars. Captain Parkhurst will make his report to the War Department, and if favorable a corps of Engineers will be sent to the heads of Garrett County to make the necessary surveys. FIVE KILLED IN TRASH. TROLLEY CAR RUNS INTO A TRAIN IN BROOKLYN. THIRTY PERSONS INJURED IN THE COLL LION-MOTORMAN BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE. A collision, resulting in the death of at least five persons and the injury of thirty others, occurred last night between a car of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and a train of the Long Island Railroad. The accident was due prebably to criminal negligence on the part of the motorman. The accident occurred at about 11:30 o'clock at Kensington Junction, Brooklyn, at Graves end-ave. and Avenue D. The railroad train was running from Manhattan Beach to the Flatbush-ave. station, and the car, which belonged to the Fifteenth-st. line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, was running to Coney Island over what is known as the Culver Route. The tracks cross at right angles, and a tower is near by. The proper signals, it is believed, were shown at the tower, but the motorman evidently disregarded them. The car struck the train with great force, and was thrown completely from the track. The motorman was instantly killed, and of the sixty passengers four were killed outright. The motorman's body was taken to the Park ville police station. Nothing was found on it to identify it except a volunteer badge of Company A of the 71st Regiment, and a handkerchief with the initial J." Both of the man's legs were broken, and his hips and ribs were smashed. The injured were taken in ambulances to seven different hospitals—the Kings County, Norwegian, Long Island College, Seney, St. Peter's, St. Mary's and St. Catherine's. One of the injured persons is Edward Wick. A policeman attached to the Coney Island station. He was in the fourth seat from the rear. He was badly cut on the face and on both knees. Wicks tried to get on the front seat when he boarded the car, but, finding it crowded, he went to the rear, and, without doubt, saved his life by this knave. He was taken to the Pavkville station. William Ruck, the towerman at Kensington Junction, was arrested, but he will undoubtedly be exonerated. He says he signaled the car to stop, as the train clearly had the right of way, and that the motorman was plainly responsible for the collision. TROLLEY CRASHES INTO TRAIN. FOR PENNSYLVANIA KILLED IN FIGHTING IN CHICAGO Chicago, Aug. 17 Four persons were killed outright and several others seriously injured tonight in a collision between a trolley car on the Forty-seventh-st. line and Fort Wayne passenger train. The motorman lost control of his car, which ran through the safety cars and crashed into the second coach of a rapidly moving train on the Fort Wayne road. The motorman is said to be among the dead. "THAT EXCEPTED" IN PEKING. ITALIAN CHARGE D'AFFAIRS CABLES HIS WIFE TO STAY A WAT San Francisco, Aug. 17 (Special). — That the withdrawal of European troops from Beijing is regarded as putting the lives of foreigners in jeopardy is clearly shown by a private cable message received here today from Peking by the wife of the Italian charge d'aff. Arrives in that city. She had her passage engaged on the China steamer which sailed today, but two hours before sailing time, she received this cable message from her husband: Things become very unsettled. Pelay coming indefinitely. She at once revoked passage and will await further instructions. MINISTER CONGER REACHES PEKING. Peking, Aug. 17. — Edwin H. Conger, the United States Minister to China, has arrived here. MORE INSPECTIONS CAPTURED. ACTIVITY IN THE PHILIPPINES— PROGRESS OF GOVERNOR TAFT. Manila, Aug 17.— A company of the 26th Infantry had an engagement with insurgents yesterday in Camarines Province. The troops killed Zehautean Angeles, a brother of General Angeles, and six privates, and captured a major, two captains and nine privates. Another detachment captured Magasin Caballes at Tampico, and also seized a large quantity of supplies. Civil Governor Taft and the Philippine Commission were enthusiastically received at Vigan, Province of South I locos, today. A governor for the province and other officials were appointed. The commission will reach the Province of Benguet tomorrow. The commissioners are agreeably surprised at the advancement shown in the places visited. ARRESTED FOR HAYING CANCER. MEXICAN WAR VETERAN IN ELIZABETH SAID TO BE A MEXICAN TO PREACH HEALTH, AND LOCKETT'S Elizabeth, N. J. Aug 17 (Special)—Samuel S. Waldron, a hermit and a veteran of the Mexican War, was committed to the county Jail today by order of John W. Whelan, president of the Board of Health, who charged Waldron with being a menace to the city's health. Waldron is more than eighty years old, and has a cancer on his face that is eating away the side of his head. He refused to stay in the Alexian Hospital when taken there, and when he found he was being taken to jail he made a desperate struggle with the officers, and After he was locked up, his screams could be heard half a block away. Warden Dodd does not think the prison any place for Waldron, who, he says, should be taken to a pest house. Waldron has no relatives living. He was left for dead at the battle of Buena Vista, but his life was saved by a Mexican woman. He is a ship carpenter, and for a number of years before the Civil War and during the war was a river pilot. A charming day and a charming way if your tickets are via the Hudson River Day Line. Adv. WEAPON FOR BABY SIDE USE DISCLOSURES OF POLICE ROTTENNESS TELLING ON VOTERS THERE. INDICATIONS POINT TO A REVOLT AGAINST CROKER OPPRESSION AND ROBBERY—TENEMENT HOUSE DWELLERS AROUSED. The latest police scandal has made campaign work infinitely easier for the anti-Tammany people on the lower East Side, in Lexow Committee stories had lost their vote winning power. Something new and startling was needed. The trapping of the police by the Moss people, showing criminal collusion between the police and the poolroom men, exposed to view the profit sharing machine, with all its well greased wheels revolving. "The uncovering of the latest rascality in the Police Department has given us a brand new fighting issue on the East Side," said Otto Rosalsky, ex-Assistant District Attorney, referring last night to the crusade work against vice by the agents of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. "It proves our contention that there is an active, working and enormously profitable partnership between corrupt policemen and gamblers all over the city. The Committee of Fifteen contends that the disorderly women should and can be..." Driven out of the tenement districts. The Republicans of the Fifth District say the same thing. Now, I want to say a word about vice in the tenement districts. You often hear the suggestion that vice flourishes in tenement districts, and that the conditions for its perpetuation are made easy among the poorer people. On that particular point, I want to say that the tenement dwellers of the lower East Side already have, and keep fostering, the keenest resentment toward disorderly houses and women in the area. The rabbis of the numerous synagogues and the Catholic and Protestant clergymen are a unit in their opposition to the toleration of vice. No matter how humble or cramped the home, when we appeal to the inmates against the sufferance of disorderly women in the neighborhood, there is an instant response. The fathers and mothers don't want their boys and girls to grow up gamblers and dissolute. Thousands of our people were born in descent on the other side. "They are here because moved by a mighty impulse to become better men and women—more cleanly, better read, and happier. If they hadn't had that impulse, they would have remained in Europe. When we ask them if they want their girls to grow up to be wicked women, they answer with a "No" that is at once desperate and meaningful. It is not at all hard to demonstrate to them that vice and destitution and corrupt civic conditions go hand in hand. The trapping of the gambler and the confession of Whitney have produced a profound moral effect. We don't even need a conviction to nail it fast in the memories of The result that Tammany officials have been inciting rich by selling indulgences. That is what it amounts to, in the last analysis — the sale of indulgences — just as Balzac and other writers picture them in the Dark Ages. According to this part of corruption, it invariably results in making conditions harder for the poor. The Tammany boss, with his hand out for his miserable tribe, is a figure of cash up and shut up from the kraal. Croker claps down to the meanest little hamlet: yellow dog wearing the Tammany badge. Our people are beginning to realize the situation. The Tammany system is an alluring one, appealing largely to the cupidity and sensuality of the men who vote. But when they think it all out for themselves, they vote against it. More and more the people of right prevail. The indications point to a revolt. Tammany all over the Baal Side this fall. Thousands of our people flock from oppression and petty persecution on the other side. Or this side they are determined to have the liberty and decency that they are here to find. FIFTEEN NOT HEAD. THEIR COUNSEL BATS THAT ARE PURGING TENEMENT ROUSES OF DISSOLUTE WOMEN. "The police of this city are levying blackmail on prostitutes living in tenements. We are trying to drive such women from those places where children live, and have found that to be a fact. I will not say that Devery is back of the sandhagging scheme against the prostitutes, and will mention the name of no one. All I can say now is that the women are paying protection money," said Robert Grier Monroe, counsel for the Committee of Fifteen, yesterday. "We are trying to clean dissolute women out of the tenement houses which are filled with children," said Colonel Monroe, "and have succeeded in doing so in a number of cases. The Committee of Fifteen has no desire to eject such females from places where all the inmates are adults, and has not done so in a single instance. These poor unfortunate have got to be tolerated somewhere, and when they go to live in places where all the rest of the tenants are grown up, persons they will not be molested by us. "In such cases, if the adults who are living correct lives, they will have to seek a remedy through the regular channels. Where children are concerned, however, the committee will be most active. We have already caused more than fifteen women to vacate reputable tenement houses where many children lived, and from what I learned from some of the women who were ousted, they had been allowed to stay in the places from which we ejected them through police protection, which was paid for." "I am not Prepared, though, to make charges against any police official at the present time. Whether I will ever be able to do so, I cannot tell at this moment. "The idea that the Committee of Fifteen is dead, which is entertained by some, is erroneous. It is clear to stay in existence, and will purify the tenement houses infested by dissolute women, no matter what it costs. We now have ten agents out getting evidence, and will keep them at work until their work is thoroughly done." FIFTEEN'S AGENTS MAKE COMPLAINT. Horatio Conklin and Sylvester Carhollite, described as agents of the Committee of Fifteen, appeared in the Centre-st. court yesterday morning, before Magistrate Olmsted, as complainants against Madeline CapelarrO who they all have been keeping a disorderly house at No. 131 Mulberry-st. After listening to the evidence, Matriste Olmsted held the woman in $100 bail for further examination on August 19. If a conviction is obtained in this case, it is understood that proceedings will be begun against the owner of the house under the new Tenement House law. If this is done, it will be the first prosecution under the new law. MURPHY ECHOES DEVERY. Commissioner Murphy yesterday backed up Perry's outbreak in regard to Frank Moss and the incident in which Wardman Turley figured. He also says that the exposures of flagrant rascality by Moss and Jerome are all for political effect. "It is all politics, that's clear enough," said Mr. Murphy. "If there hadn't been any Tammany Hall and there were not my mayoralty election next fall there wouldn't have been any raids. This department has been handling disorderly houses." They can't be governed absolutely. I can't govern them. I don't see who could govern them. If anyone will tell me how to do it, I'll do it. This department has kept them out of the public eye. I think that when that is done, we have done all we can do, and all the people of New York want us to do. "That is just about what Deputy Commissioner Devery said yesterday," was remarked. The Commissioner raised his hand deprecatingly. "Well, I haven't anything to say about what the Deputy Commissioner has said." The Commissioner was asked what he had to say in regard to the actions of Wardman Terry before justice Jerome on Friday. The Commissioner, as Devery did, took the part of Terry. "Terry refused to be sworn until he knew what his rights were," said Mr. Murphy. "He was asked to take the oath as a witness against Glennon and he wanted to know whether he was going to testify against himself. As for me, he learned that he was going to testify against himself, and he took the oath. STRIKERS MAKE LARGE GAINS STEEL WORKERS OF THE CARNEGIE PLANT AT DU QUESNE: VOTE TO JOIN THEM. RECRUITS ALSO WON IN MILWAUKEE AND WHEELING. The Steel workers of the Carnegie plant at Duquesne voted last night to join the strikers. It is said that the mill may be closed at any time, almost all the skilled men being organized. Bay View Lodge of the Amalgamated Association at Milwaukee reconsidered its former decision and voted to go on strike. The men of the Riverside plant at Wheeling, W. Va., also voted to quit work. The news greatly encouraged the strike leaders at Pittsburgh, and they expressed confidence that the men in South Chicago would join their ranks. It is said, however, that the leaders would welcome any terms short of unconditional surrender. No formal peace proposals have been made. A CARNEGIE PLANT WON. DUQUESNE STEEL WORKERS TO STRIKE -MILL MAY BE CLOSED AT ANY TIME. STRIKE'S TO THE TRUSTEE Pittsburgh, Aug. 11.— The steel workers of the Carnegie plant at Duquesne were to-night to join the strike. A secret meeting was held to count noses, and at the close the statement was made that the mill might be idle at any time, although no date was fixed. Almost all the skilled men are organized. WOULD WELCOME TERMS. STRIKE LEADERS SAID TO BE READY TO ACCEPT ANYTHING, SHORT OF IN CONDITIONAL SURRENDER. Pittsburgh, Aug. 17. — may be said positively without betraying confidence that the strikers and their leaders would welcome some terms short of absolute unconditional surrender to end the trouble. While there is a universal denial of weakness, there is no attempt at concealing the situation of the strike, which has spread so much within the week, or the relief with which the leaders would consider reasonable terms for terminating the idleness of so many thousand men. The way seems to be open, but just now there is apparently no one in the undertaking to say the word that will again bring the heads of the two cities together. There is not the faintest intimation of what terms would be acceptable, but the statement has been made directly that if reasonable terms could be secured the strikers would accept the situation in private conversation, and is not intended to reach the other side but with it is the other statement that if the steel corporation fails to offer what the strikers think reasonable terms the right will go on to a finish along the lines laid down and followed up to date. The dead calm that in strike history usually immediately precedes events of essential importance to the industry, which has settled down on this region. Even McKeesport is experiencing the feeling of languor that indicates slight interest, although the entire town is practically idle. Efforts to run the plants would shortly determine the duration of the strike, as the new men would easily be successful or so successful that the end would be soon reached. If the strikers would see it, and the end would come that way. With the prevailing quiet, the men are full of fear and suspicious that something is taking place of which they are not informed. They are beginning to reel the effects of the quiet, especially as they see none of the signs of the weakening of the steel corporation, which they were led to expect. The Painter, Illiss & McCutcheon and Clark hoop plants are still running experimentally with a few men and old men, but there has been no real effort to produce quantities of material. Even the outside departments of the National Tube Works are idle, leaving the situation as it has been for several days. An extension of the Strike to the Homestead and Duquesne plants would mean much both sides, and in the minds of some of the local steel manufacturers outside of the steel corporation might lead directly to the end of the strike, either by a more energetic movement on the part of the corporation or by terms of compromise that would satisfy both sides. FEAR OF VI OLENCE. MONKSSEN AND CARNEGIE MITTS POINTS OF DANGER. Pittsburgh, Aug. 11. On order has been preserved through all the strike districts in the city, but the irritation at points of contact between strikers and strike breakers is increasing, and it is believed here that there will be violence before another week elapses. Monessen is picked as one of the places where trouble is expected. It is stirred to the fighting point by the plan to start the steel mill with non-union men. A force of the latter, gathered in the South, is expected at the mill daily, and the strikers have patrolled the town in expectation of its arrival. They declare that the non-union men will not be permitted to enter the mill, and the steel managers are just as determined that they shall. The plant has been put in a defensive condition, and arrangements have been made to house the workers on the property until there is no longer any danger that they will be molested. There is also danger of trouble at the Carnegie plants. They are all heavily guarded, and a demonstration against them by the strikers would, it is feared, provoke a serious clash. The strike leaders continue to warn the strikers to keep within the law, but say that if there is any aggression against them or any attempt to curtail their legal rights, they cannot be held responsible for their conduct. DOESN'T WANT "BLOOD MONEY." SECRETARY TIGHE ON THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CHICAGO. Chicago, Aug 17— A dispatch from Milwaukee today quotes Assistant Secretary Tighe as follows in reference to the South Chicago situation: I shall not return to the Chicago mills unless invited, and I have not been invited. In reference to the assertion that the South Chicago men insist on their right to pay part of their wages to the association to aid in prosecuting the strike. I would say that the Amalgamated does not want good money. They have been read out of it, and that ends the matter until they shall repent. Until they are with us on principle, we want none of their assistance. Mr. Tighe has been invited to visit the union at Kansas City, Ind., where there are independent mills. It is a social call only that is asked, and he probably will accept the invitation on Monday. TO STRIKE AT MILWAUKEE BAT VIEW LODGE REVERSES ITS FORMER DECISION-EFFECT ON CHICAGO MEN EXPECTED. Milwaukee, Aug. 17— Bay View men will strike. The vote on President Shaffer's order is said to have been unanimous after a session of the lodge lasting five hours. The plant of the Illinois Steel Company at Bay View will be shut down indefinitely, and about fourteen hundred men will be thrown out of work. When the meeting was called to order this afternoon, it is said that 152 members of the lodge out of a total of 219 were present. Assistant Secretary Tighe made an Appeal to the men to obey the mandate of President Shaffer. Mr. Tighe was followed by W. C. Davis, of South, Chicago, vice-president of the Fourth District, who spoke along the same lines. Joseph Redfern, president of the Bay View lodge, took the negative side, and was followed by others. The speech making lasted five hours, and it was nearly 8 o'clock when a secret ballot was taken, the result showing a majority in favor of a strike. When the result was announced a motion to make the one unanimous in favor of obeying the order was carried without a dissenting voice. Leaders of the Amalgamated Association now in this city declare that the action of the Bay View men will have an important bearing on the situation. They say that South Chicago will be influenced in the same direction. W. C. Davis, after the meeting, spoke in urging that the action of the lodge be taken. Mr. Davis looks for an immediate change in the situation at South Chicago when the news of the result of the Bay View meeting becomes known, to the men in his city. If the strike is of long duration, Milwaukee's suburb at Bay View will be affected, as that section of the city is practically made up of mill men, and the employees depend upon their patrons for their business. Of the 1,403 men who were employed at the Bay View mills, 21st class to the Amalgamated Association. They are the tonnage men. Besides the union men, there were 200 other skilled seamen employed. The engineers and roll turners formerly belonged to the Amalgamated Association, and are in sympathy with it. Employment was given to 100 unskilled men, 200 of whom worked in the blast furnace. STOPPING IN WHEEL: MEN AT THE RIVERSIDE PLANT WORK TO JOIN THE STRIKERS. Wheeling, W Va., Aug. 17.— The 30th Riverside steel workers voted to join the strike tonight. It was decided to inform the management that the men would not return to work Monday morning, and that in the meantime they would be taken into membership in Wheeling Lodge No. 30, of the Amalgamated Association. This leaves only 130 men at the Wheeling district mills of the United States Steel Corporation still at work. These 150 are the Riverside furnaces, and it is said that they will be organized soon and strike. THIS EFFECT AT JOLIET. NEW FROM MIWAUKEE STARTS A MORE ACTIVE STRIKE CAMPAIGN. Joliet, Ill., Aug. 17.— News that the Bay View men had voted to strike, received at Joliet tonight, caused great satisfaction among members of the Amalgamated Association here. They are encouraged in the right and confidently expect the South Chicago men to wheel into line before many days, making the Western tieup complete. Joliet strike leaders have asserted all along that the Bay View men will be in line for a complete victory. Lodge would come out so soon as the situation should be made plain by Secretary Tighe, and his success here is not only a surprise here. Mill officials here heard the Bay View new strike. Strike leaders will now begin an active campaign, the first move being to increase the membership of the lodges. It is said that hundreds of applications will be acted upon next week. When Vice-President Adams heard the news, he said: "I am surprised. I did not think Bay View would go out. Further than this, I will say nothing." H. Morrison, auditor of the Illinois Steel Company, posted a notice today informing all former employees in the converter, billet, rod, and merchant mills, that they will be paid next Monday. These departments are controlled directly by the four striking lodges. Pay day for the rest of the plant will be August 23. It is reported that an attempt will be made to operate the mills here, despite the strikers, but this is not generally believed. General Manager Theodore Robinson, of Chicago, was here today, in consultation with Superintendent Sheldon, but neither would give any information. REACTION AT MKEESPORT. EARLY BREAK IN STRIKERS' RANKS A STRONG POSSIBILITY. Pittsburgh, Aug. 17— There is a strong possibility that there will be an early break in the ranks of the strikers at McKeesport. Many of the unorganized men become dissatisfied and make no secret of their threat to go boldly back to the National Tube Company and ask for their places just as soon as they can sufficiently follow to withstand pressure from the union or a guarantee of protection is given to them. Several of the unions say that they have everything to lose and that it is not necessary to stay out of the union by staying out.
