NEWS OF THE STATES Gathered From Hills, Valleys and Plains of the Union. Boiled Down As It Comes From the Wires for Information of Busy Readers. Wednesday, July 31. There are no changes in the big San Francisco strike of dock men and team- sters. Both employers and strikers are standing firm, and each express confi- dence in winning. Hot weather again returned to Kan- sas, but nothing like that before the breaking of the drouth. The temper- ature reached as high as 100, and some prostrations are reported on account of the humidity. In Leavenworth there was one death from the heat. Rains fell last night in numerous districts. Five masked men held up a train ol miles from < hicago. They got no booty, having dynamited three mail cars in- stead of the express, which they hauled away from the remainder of the train one at a time. The express was the fourth car in the train and out of its usual place. No passengers were mo- lested, but most of the trainmen were shot at. "The progressive democratic party" was organized in the hotel room of the promoter. Geo. A. Groot, at Columbus, Ohio, with reporters as the principal audience. A full ticket, headed by Dr. Rudolph Reamlin for governor, was nominated. The organization is a pro- tect against the recent action of the Ohio state convention in ignoring Bryan and the Chicago and Kansas City plat- forms. Though the call whs widely pub- lished, less than a dozen were present. Thursday, August 1. For the brutal murder of Mr and Mrs R. T. Talifero, Betsy McCray, her son Belfield and daughter Ida, all col- ored, were hanged by a mob at Carroll- ton, Miss. Ciarksville, Mo., lost ten business blocks by fire. The actual consolidation of the coke properties of the constituent concerns of the United States Steel corporation oc- curred, when the H. C. Frick company of the Carnegie company became a para- mount factor in the coke operations of the Connellsville district. The acting secretary of war has named the big freight transport Samoa the Dix, in honor of General John A Dix, who issued the famous order: "If any man attempts to haul down the Ameri- can flag, shoot him on the spot." The only new phase to the San Fran- cisco labor troubles is a strong under- current that is making for peace. The municipal league, which held secret meet- ings with labor leaders and employer**, reports that the outlook for a settle ment is encouraging and that a basis of adjustment may be reached within 24 hours. The California Cured Fruit Association reports large sales of prunes at 3 cents a pound. The coinage of the mints of the United States for July was $5,621,830—g01d, $4,225,000; silver, $1,312,000; minor coins, $84,830. Friday, August 2, The entire business community of Tampa, Florida, is more aroused than eyer before on account of the manifesto signed by the manufacturers declaring they would move their factories to an- other city if the citizens of Tampa did not suppress the anarchist leaders of the Rpsistencia strikers and protect them in their own business. The manufacturers represent over $40,000,000. Three highwaymen held up 11 harvest hands in the railway yards at Arkansas City, Kan., and secured $105, seven watches and some other jewelry. The harvesters have been in Oklahoma and were on their way to work in the Kansas fields. Tne robbers escaped to the ter- ritory. Steamship Victorian came down from Alaska with $300,000 in treasure aboard. Fire did $55,000 worth of damage to the Grand Trunk railroad's grain ele- vators at Chicago. Waves from a passing steamer upset a row boat full of excursionists in the river near Central City, W. Va., and drowned four of the occupants. At Denver the hodcarriers' strike has been declared off. Eight hundred men were out and the strike has seriously in- terfered with building. The other labor unions refused to sanction and support the strike. Hugh Keller, minister of Agriculture, estimates the wheat yield in Manitoba and the Northwest Territory this year at from 55,000,000 to 60.000,000 bush- els. Saturday. August 3. Poundmaster Joe Lennon of Crystal Falls, Mich., placed a cow belonging to Captain Bennett, superintendent of the Oliver Mining company in the pound. Bennett became angry and on meeting Lennon this evening hot words followed, and the result was that the captain pulled his revolver and shot Lennon through the heart. Bennett is one of the best known mining men in the upper peninsula and is said to be worth $300,- --000. He was arrested. At San Francisco the scene on the water front strike was a peaceful one. Not a vessel left port. The steamer George W. Elder arrived from Portland and as soon as she was made fast to her dock the crew joined the strikers. Her passengers, baggage, the mails, some livestock and a large shipment of oysters were allowed to be landed by order of the federation, but all the remainder of her cargo must either be unshipped by non union labor or kept in her hold. The steamer Polona arrived from Eu- reka, notwithstanding the report that she was tied up there because of the in- ability of her agents to get her cargo moved. The officers stated that the citizens of Eureka turned in and did the work which the union longshoremen re- fused to do. n (ir»l>«m. Texas, Orland Watkin and Knger Dareuport, well known young men were shot and killed by William Kothwell, who had be^n suffering from mental derangement for several weeks. At Colorado Springs during the ath- ietic contests attendant upon the quarto- centennial celebration, Candiras I>e Foya, a I te Indian, broke the world's running record for 100 yards, makii g the dis- tance in 9 seconds Hat. The professional record was 9 a 5, and the amateur record 94 5. Another Tte Indian made it in .) ]. i, but there is some dispute as to measurement. of South Carolina addressed a large audience at Milwaukee, Wis., on the race question from a southern standpoint. One of the features of his remarks was a plea m justification of lynching. "In Wisconsin you have 5000 black men," said he. '-Why don't you try the bleaching process and exterminate them by intermarriage? The idea is repug- nant to to you. In South Carolina we have 7f)0,000 blacks and 550,000 whites. r The biggest ship in the world, the Celtic, reached dock at New York on her leisurely maiden voyage from Liverpool. The ship is so high that her steerage deck is above the entrance to the pier. According to telegrams the I'nited States will not interfere in the trouble between Venezuela and Colombia, out- side of protecting American interests. A dispatch from Caracas says that 6000 revolutionists were defeated after 30 hour's fighting July 29 and 80, with a loss of 800 men, the government loss being 300. A terrific explosion in a block of six buildings on Locust street near Tenth, Philadelphia, wrecked five of the struc- tures and caused the death of from 10 to 20 or more persons. Over two score of others were more or less seriously in- jured. Monday, August 5. Teddy Roosevelt is in Colorado after coyotes. John M. Wilson, a patient at the Utah asylum for insane, threw himself head first into the open door of a furnace. He was badly burned before being pulled out. While bandages were being pre- pared Wilson broke away and again threw himself into the furnace, this time being so badly burned that he died within a short time. At Tampa, Florida, 100 business men, in order to end the strike of La Resis- tencia union, searched the streets of Tampa and seized a number of strike leaders, and, it is rumored, that they were sent out to a vessel outside the bar and taken to the gulf. Excitement pre- vailed but no rioting occurred. Maryland republicans nominated a state ticket and adopted a platform denouncing Gorman as a fluctuater, but always in control of the democratic machine, and. laughing at the "nigger bogey." Tuesday, August 6. The only development of importance in the labor situation at San Francisco, so far as the extension of strikes is con cerned, was the walkout of more than •100 union boxinakers who had been em- ployed at the various box factories of the city. The men claim that they were so often urged to sign an agreement which meant their resignation from the union that they decided to no longer brook the attitude of their employers and to join the forces of the idle.

They Will Not Compromise With Pittsburg, August I.—The Amalga- mated executive board last evening re- ceived by telegraph a flat refusal from J. Pierpont Morgan to re-open the wage conference where it was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln nearly three weeks ago. The powers of the steel combine insist in this communication that the only basis of settlement will be on terms which the financial r acker of the combine, Presi- dent Schwab, and Chairman Elbert H. Gary laid down at the meeting of the Amalgamated executive board in New York last Saturday. "A member of the executive board last night said: "These terms are denomin- ated by those who have the best interests of the organization of the steel workers at heart as the most unfair, the most arbitrary ever submitted to workingmen by a set of employers or a corporation. The terms are such that the members of the board of the Amalgamated associa- tion can not accept and has already gone on record to that effect. Tomorrow morning the answer of Mr. Morgan is expected by mail. There is scarcely a fragment of hope that the Amalgamated association will back down from its well known position. The leaders of the workers will in reply outline their plans to the steel corporation for a continu- ance of the great struggle. They will include the stopping of every wheel pos- sible in the works of the combine and extension of the strike in all possible directions by the Amalgamated associa- tion. the Strikers. All Sadieville, Ky., was curious to learn the cause of the vast improvement in the health of Mrs. S. P. Whittaker, who had for a long time, endured untold suffering from a chronic bronchial trou- ble. "It's all due to Dr. King's New Discovery," writes her husband.

Sunday, August 4. United States Senator B. R. Tillman GREAT STEEL STRIKE General Order Issued by the Amalgamated Association. With 400.000 Men Kmployed the Walking Delegates Order Union Men Oat. Pittsburg, Au«. 6.—After weeks of pre- liminary skirmishing, at last the great battle between the gigantic Bted trust and the thousands of men marshalled under the banners of the Amalgamated association of iron, steel and tin work- ers is fairly on. The long talked of general strike order was issued by Presi- dent Shaffer this evening to take effect after the last turn of the mills on August 10. What the result will be no man can foretell, but judging by the ex- pressed determination of both parties to the controversy the battle will be waged to the very last ditch. Much money will be lost, thousands upon thousands of men will be idle, great suffering jh looked for, and even bloodshed and death < re possible and feared. The strike call includes practically all Amalgamated men in the United States Steel corporation's employ not now on strike. It was issued from the Amalga- mated association headquarters and mailed to all Amalgamated lodge offl cials who are expected to call their men to strike. Text of the Call. "Brethren—The officials of the United States steel trust have refused to recog- nize as union men those who are now striving for the right to organize. The executive board has authorized me to isaue a call on all Amalgamated men in name and heart to join in the move- ment to tight for labor's rights. "We must fight or give up forever our personal liberties. "You will be told that you have signed contracts, but you never agreed to surrender those contracts to the United States Steel corporation. Its officers think you were sold to them just as the mills were, contracts and all. "Remember, before you agreed to any contract you took an obligation to the Amalgamated association. It now calls you to help in the hour of need. "Unless the trouble is settled on or before Saturday, August 10, 1901, the mills will clone when the last turn is made on that day. "Brethren, this is the call to preserve our organization. We trust you and need you. "Come and help us and may right come to a just cause." Hundred Thousand Out. The order of President Shaffer is ex pected to swell the number of idle men to over 100,000 at the end of the week President Shaffer was asked if the order was intended to go to the union men in Carnegie Steel company. He said he answered no questions on that score. President Shaffer added this state ment: "The call goes to the vice presidents of the districts in which there are millH o^ned and operated by the National Steel, National Tube and Federal Steel companies, as well as to the officials of the lodges in the mills. "No notice has been or is being sent to the managers of mills. We think their notice has come from the other side and they have been warned of this ever since tlie inauguration of the strike. That ought to be sufficient." Shaffer does not anticiuate any settle- ment before the strike goes into effect. The men are ordered out after the last turn on August 10. The turn will throw idle about 12,000 association men and about 60,000 men in the mills who are connected with the Federation of Labor and who are not organized but will have no work by reason of the strike of the skilled men. Altogether 100,000 men will likely be idle. The order, it is said, will also call out the men at the fur- naces owned by the United States Steel corporation, who are not members of the Amalgamated association, but who are connected with the American Federa- tion of Labor. The call to the three men of the three companies in the mills of which the Amalgamated association is strongest is expected to be generally and prompt- ly responded to. The movement will, it is expected, practically suspend opera- tions of the Federal Steel company and cut off half of the production of the National Steel and Tube companies and throw more than 40,000 men idle. The attitude of the men of the United States Steel corporation, so far not affected by the strike, has been carefully canvassed. In a general way the tone of general reports indicate the men will support the stand of their officers. An aggressive movement upon the Carnegie mills is in- tended. President Shaffer said tonight: "We want no one to come out unwillingly. If our people are not in full sympathy with our tight we would rather they re- main at work. They will not be asked to decide hastily. They will have until Saturday night of this week to think it over. When they finally do decide they will come out prepared for the battle. There will be no faltering, no indecision, no ignorance in action, but a unity of purpose and a determination to stand for their rights." After issuing the official call for next Saturday night President Shaffer said: "At noon today I called out all the men employed in the New Castle mills of the National Steel company. They will stop work at 12 o'clock tonight. My pur- pose in doing this was that I learned that the trust has been piling up union made bars in the old housings of the dismantled Jennings sheet mill for the purpose of supplying the nonunion mills when the plants shall be shut down. It was a clever trick, but it did not work. We have to be on the watch for just such moves as this by the trust. We know what is going on just as well as they do, and are fully prepared to meet every move they make." Shaffer Talks Disaster. PRICE I IV!: CENTS.

Neither side would surrender its position or concede a point in the dis- pute in which it is involved, and present indications point to a renewal with vigor, of the struggle. Will Affect Thousands. I'ittsburg, Aug. .1— There is scarcely one of the 400,000 employes of the I mted States Steel corporation bnl msj feel the strike. It may be that the American Federation of Labor will call out its thousands who handle products of the Inked Stares Steel corporation. The structural steel workers may refuse to handle steel from mills of the trust, the miners may refuse to dig coal for trust mills, the railway organizations may be drawn into the contest, although that is not probable Tnless it be speed- ily broken by the United StateH Steel corporation the strike and its results will be felt over the whole of the Tinted States. Fight to a Kmi-h I'ittsburg, Aug. ,'J—"lt will be a fight to a finish. No quarter will be given. We an; prepared to spend all the money and time necessary to wipe out, the Amalgamated MSodatioa in all of our mills." Thin whh the message that came over the wires from New York to local offi- cials of the United State* Steel corpora- tion thiH afternoon. Official were wait- ing long after the usual Saturday- after- noon closing time to get word from the conference in \«w York bet ween the ex- ecutive board of the Amalgamated n—p ciation and the general officers of the big trust. Two messages came. The first stated that the conference between the workerH and Mr. Morgan had ad- journed after receiving Mr. Morgan's ultimate decision in the matter in dis- pute. An hour before this time a second message came to I'ittsburg announcing to the steel officials here that the execu- tive board had decided that they would not accept Mr. Morgan's terms. The second message contained the statement alHo, that appears above. Some of the officials heard the message with mis- givings; others with unconcealed satis- faction. One of the officials left the office declaring that he was glad of it. The fight will surely be carried to a fininb, and the corporation would once and for all be freed from the influence of the union men. Uussiantt in Distress. London, Aug. 2 —As evidence of the ruinous stagnation of trade in southern Uuhmh, says a dispatch to the Standard from Odessa, a government factory in- spector (inserts that 70 per cent of all the industrial works of the manufactur- ing government of Ekaterinoskay have Hunpended, and in order to relieve din- tress and to prevent diHturbance 40,000 artisans have been deported to the homes in the interior at the expense ol the government. Conditions in the in- dustrial centers of Russia are similar. Must Furnish Pure Milk. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Adulterated milk and cream are to be confiscated in future at the receiving depots ot all railroad**. The discovery of formaline at the receiv- ing depots will result in the seizure of the cauH and the dumping of its contents into the nearest gutter. In />rder to stop the entrance of drugged milk and cream into Chicago Commissioner of Health Iteilly has adopted the plan of testing the milk as it is unloaded from trains and before it is distributed to dealers. Hundred Year Clubs Are becoming numerous. The idea is to promote longevity. It in interesting to note that the meauH through whi -h long life id to be obtained, is food and the stomach. Long life aod good health are not possible unless the stomach does its work properly. There is a way to to make it, if it does not. HontettVr's Stomach Bitters is an ideal strength re- storer. If you would be cured of dys- pepsia, indigestion, belching, constipa- tion, insomnia, nervousness, biliousness, try the Bitters. Everybody should try it to help nature rid the blood of all impurities. It possesses valusble cura- tive properties, and as a specific for malaria, fever and ague, it is unequalled. Don't fail to give it a trial, but be sure you get the genuine. H. W. Goff, drain Insurance. Discussing the feature of the strike that would bear directly upon the pros- perity of the country, President Shaffer said: "The closing of all these mills will be felt by all classes. It will stop pro- duction and this will stop commerce. SICK HEADACHE ABSOLUTELY and permanently cured by using Moki Tea. A pleasant herb drink.

STEEL MAGNATES REFUSE.

They Will Not Compromise With

Pittsburg, August I.—The Amalga-mated executive board last evening re-ceived by telegraph a flat refusal fromJ. Pierpont Morgan to re-open the wageconference where it was broken off at theHotel Lincoln nearly three weeks ago.The powers of the steel combine insist inthis communication that the only basisof settlement will be on terms which thefinancial r acker of the combine, Presi-dent Schwab, and Chairman Elbert H.Gary laid down at the meeting of theAmalgamated executive board in NewYork last Saturday.

"A member of the executive board lastnight said: "These terms are denomin-ated by those who have the best interestsof the organization of the steel workersat heart as the most unfair, the mostarbitrary ever submitted to workingmenby a set of employers or a corporation.The terms are such that the members ofthe board of the Amalgamated associa-tion can not accept and has already goneon record to that effect. Tomorrowmorning the answer of Mr. Morgan isexpected by mail. There is scarcely afragment of hope that the Amalgamatedassociation will back down from its wellknown position. The leaders of theworkers will in reply outline their plansto the steel corporation for a continu-ance of the great struggle. They willinclude the stopping of every wheel pos-sible in the works of the combine andextension of the strike in all possibledirections by the Amalgamated associa-tion.

GREAT STEEL STRIKEGeneral Order Issued by the

Amalgamated Association.

With 400.000 Men Kmployed theWalking Delegates Order

Union Men Oat.

Pittsburg, Au«. 6.—After weeks of pre-liminary skirmishing, at last the greatbattle between the gigantic Bted trustand the thousands of men marshalledunder the banners of the Amalgamatedassociation of iron, steel and tin work-ers is fairly on. The long talked ofgeneral strike order was issued by Presi-dent Shaffer this evening to take effectafter the last turn of the mills on August10. What the result will be no mancan foretell, but judging by the ex-pressed determination of both parties tothe controversy the battle will be wagedto the very last ditch. Much money willbe lost, thousands upon thousands ofmen will be idle, great suffering jh lookedfor, and even bloodshed and death < repossible and feared.

The strike call includes practically allAmalgamated men in the United StatesSteel corporation's employ not now onstrike. It was issued from the Amalga-mated association headquarters andmailed to all Amalgamated lodge offlcials who are expected to call their mento strike.

Text of the Call."Brethren—The officials of the United

States steel trust have refused to recog-nize as union men those who are nowstriving for the right to organize. Theexecutive board has authorized me toisaue a call on all Amalgamated men inname and heart to join in the move-ment to tight for labor's rights.

"We must fight or give up forever ourpersonal liberties.

"You will be told that you havesigned contracts, but you never agreedto surrender those contracts to theUnited States Steel corporation. Itsofficers think you were sold to them justas the mills were, contracts and all.

"Remember, before you agreed to anycontract you took an obligation to theAmalgamated association. It now callsyou to help in the hour of need.

"Unless the trouble is settled on orbefore Saturday, August 10, 1901, themills will clone when the last turn ismade on that day.

"Brethren, this is the call to preserveour organization. We trust you andneed you.

"Come and help us and may rightcome to a just cause."

Hundred Thousand Out.The order of President Shaffer is ex

pected to swell the number of idle mento over 100,000 at the end of the weekPresident Shaffer was asked if the orderwas intended to go to the union men inCarnegie Steel company. He said heanswered no questions on that score.

President Shaffer added this statement:

"The call goes to the vice presidentsof the districts in which there are millHo^ned and operated by the NationalSteel, National Tube and Federal Steelcompanies, as well as to the officials ofthe lodges in the mills.

"No notice has been or is being sentto the managers of mills. We thinktheir notice has come from the otherside and they have been warned of thisever since tlie inauguration of the strike.That ought to be sufficient."

Shaffer does not anticiuate any settle-ment before the strike goes into effect.The men are ordered out after the lastturn on August 10. The turn will throwidle about 12,000 association men andabout 60,000 men in the mills who areconnected with the Federation of Laborand who are not organized but will haveno work by reason of the strike of theskilled men. Altogether 100,000 menwill likely be idle. The order, it is said,will also call out the men at the fur-naces owned by the United States Steelcorporation, who are not members ofthe Amalgamated association, but whoare connected with the American Federa-tion of Labor.

The call to the three men of the threecompanies in the mills of which theAmalgamated association is strongestis expected to be generally and prompt-ly responded to. The movement will, itis expected, practically suspend opera-tions of the Federal Steel company andcut off half of the production of theNational Steel and Tube companies andthrow more than 40,000 men idle. Theattitude of the men of the United StatesSteel corporation, so far not affected bythe strike, has been carefully canvassed.

In a general way the tone of generalreports indicate the men will support thestand of their officers. An aggressivemovement upon the Carnegie mills is in-tended.

President Shaffer said tonight: "Wewant no one to come out unwillingly.If our people are not in full sympathywith our tight we would rather they re-main at work. They will not be askedto decide hastily. They will have untilSaturday night of this week to think itover. When they finally do decide theywill come out prepared for the battle.There will be no faltering, no indecision,no ignorance in action, but a unity ofpurpose and a determination to standfor their rights."

After issuing the official call for nextSaturday night President Shaffer said:"At noon today I called out all the menemployed in the New Castle mills of theNational Steel company. They willstopwork at 12 o'clock tonight. My pur-pose in doing this was that I learnedthat the trust has been piling up unionmade bars in the old housings of thedismantled Jennings sheet mill for thepurpose of supplying the nonunion millswhen the plants shall be shut down. Itwas a clever trick, but it did not work.We have to be on the watch for justsuch moves as this by the trust. Weknow what is going on just as well asthey do, and are fullyprepared to meetevery move they make."

Bitter Fight

New York, vng. 3.—Another effort toperfect a permanent true.- between tbegreat army of steel workers and thegiant corporation which employ* themhas failed, and tonight the conflictingHides are as widely divided as ever Theleaders on either side met here ,igHinthis morning, and after a day of fruit-lees conference and discussion parted in« spirit that shows no tinge of concilia-tion. Neither side would surrender itsposition or concede a point in the dis-pute in which it is involved, and presentindications point to a renewal withvigor, of the struggle.

Will Affect Thousands.I'ittsburg, Aug. .1—There is scarcely

one of the 400,000 employes of theI mted States Steel corporation bnl msjfeel the strike. It may be that theAmerican Federation of Labor will callout its thousands who handle productsof the Inked Stares Steel corporation.The structural steel workers may refuseto handle steel from mills of the trust,the miners may refuse to dig coal fortrust mills, the railway organizationsmay be drawn into the contest, althoughthat is not probable Tnless it be speed-ily broken by the United StateH Steelcorporation the strike and its resultswill be felt over the whole of the TintedStates.

Fight to a Kmi-hI'ittsburg, Aug. ,'J—"lt will be a fight

to a finish. No quarter will be given.We an; prepared to spend all the moneyand time necessary to wipe out, theAmalgamated MSodatioa in all of ourmills."

Thin whh the message that came overthe wires from New York to local offi-cials of the United State* Steel corpora-tion thiH afternoon. Official were wait-ing long after the usual Saturday- after-noon closing time to get word from theconference in \«w York bet ween the ex-ecutive board of the Amalgamated n—pciation and the general officers of thebig trust. Two messages came. Thefirst stated that the conference betweenthe workerH and Mr. Morgan had ad-journed after receiving Mr. Morgan'sultimate decision in the matter in dis-pute. An hour before this time a secondmessage came to I'ittsburg announcingto the steel officials here that the execu-tive board had decided that they wouldnot accept Mr. Morgan's terms. Thesecond message contained the statementalHo, that appears above. Some of theofficials heard the message with mis-givings; others with unconcealed satis-faction. One of the officials left theoffice declaring that he was glad of it.The fight will surely be carried to afininb, and the corporation would onceand for all be freed from the influence ofthe union men.

Uussiantt in Distress.London, Aug. 2 —As evidence of the

ruinous stagnation of trade in southernUuhmh, says a dispatch to the Standardfrom Odessa, a government factory in-spector (inserts that 70 per cent of allthe industrial works of the manufactur-ing government of Ekaterinoskay haveHunpended, and in order to relieve din-tress and to prevent diHturbance 40,000artisans have been deported to thehomes in the interior at the expense olthe government. Conditions in the in-dustrial centers of Russia are similar.

Must Furnish Pure Milk.Chicago, Aug. 2.—Adulterated milk

and cream are to be confiscated in futureat the receiving depots ot all railroad**.The discovery of formaline at the receiv-ing depots will result in the seizure ofthe cauH and the dumping of its contentsinto the nearest gutter. In />rder tostop the entrance of drugged milk andcream into Chicago Commissioner ofHealth Iteilly has adopted the plan oftesting the milk as it is unloaded fromtrains and before it is distributed todealers.
