STRIKE NOT ENDED, Nothin# Given Out As Bein^ Settled , By the Conference, ? ~ CAUSE OF FAILURE TO AGREE Mold an All-Day .Session, but I all to Ratify the Peace Terms Proposed la New York. Pittsburg, Pa., Special. ? Disapp > nt mont and apprehension pervade tho flir of Pittsburg tonight because of the failuftof the executive board of the Amalgamated Asosciation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers to ratify the p a -e proposals arranged at the conferenco n I'.ZCi: vmwV wMvmMtfy ^jVctrrrrTi Tn ? * national officers of the Amalgamate! Association and Messis. Morgan, Schwab and Gary, represent ng the I'nlted States Ste?l Corporation. When *he conference opened Tuesday moin ing It was confidently expectod that the agreement would be reached in a short time, but after a session lasting from 9:30 a. m., until 6:30 p. m., the meeting adjourned without arriving at any conclusion, and another m cling will be held. . The protracted session followed with the provisions of the compromise measures and unless s;imn modifica tions are 'made its 'ratifications is doubtful. The opening of union mills to union workmen is tne point or? which It is believed the board hesitntes to accept, and the long-distance tele phone between New York nn I Pitts burg was worked frequently to get a modification of this clause. The work** men hold that this would give the mill owners full opportunity of crus'i'ng the union without a Strike by finding j excuses to discharge union men nnl ' then fill their places with non-union ists. Another rock of desseution is said to be the retention in thel^pres- nt jobs of the men who worked as ' strike \ .*eakers" at the various mills during the strike. It is said tjtat thes3 m n have ?>een proraitfetT'fhe protection of the manufacturers in case of a settle ment and t^at they will not ccnc:de their dismissal at the request of the organization. The workers. It is sad, are willing to declare the mills now working non-union men open mills, but strenuously object to having all the mills of the combine classified as open mills. All is, however, conjee ure, as it, is impossible to get any dsfn te statement from any of the parties in terested concerning the day's conTcr cnee. When the board dispersed at 0:30 every member was waylaid by perils'. - ? ent newspaper -men, seeking informa tion, but every question was aasjvcred by the phrase: "We can say nothing There Is absolutely nothing to give to the public at this time." .It is doubtful if the members of the general executive board of th^ Amalga ma&&~ Association were ever (more un* communicative and reserved than du ring the meeting and after it was over. The importance of th,e matter In h?n:l, the fate of the strike and the welfa:e of members of *lhe organization, n w Idle, rest upon their decision. The full board was present, with one excep tion, . , ? - TELBOHAPIIIC TBtSlTIES. A steamer arrive* at New York with ITM* djfff* hi Potto Rico. l%e Oh%OU Cloth Company will mm WtVfitory at Yoangstowa.

New Battleship Christened Amid Muc'i Enthusiasm, ? ? ? ? THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT PRE: EM The Ill-Fated Maine Superceded By a Faster and Better Vessel ? The In teresting Ceremonies. Philadelphia, Special. --?The battle ship Maine, designed to be bigger, stronger and tauter than her name sake whose shapeless mass lies in the harbor of Havana, was launched from the yards ways at Cramp's yards, was on Building Company, Saturday morn -hi*, "me great "hulls initial dip into* the waters of the Delaware river was a success in every way. One of th? largest crowds (hat has ever seen a warship leave the wai's at Camp's yards was on hand ityl patriutisfci /ran' wild as the ship lef^ h'*r cradle, l.amwhings of wiUship.v at Ciamps have been so frequent Jthat in late years, such events1 have lost much or their attractive power. The present e of the Immense crowd at this christ ening was largely due to the fact that the new ship bears the uame^of tlu? Ill-fated Maine. Kcnslgnton. the great Industrial station wherein the ship yard is located, took a holiday an 1 at tended the launching. TliovrsaijiJ^ of persons from other parts of the ? Itv wero on hand and as the yard was thrown open to the public every vant age point In the confines of the place swarmed with humanity. The wcuthec was beautiful.

Secretary of the Navy l/ong, Adiuiral Dewey, Cap tain Sigsbec and other naval dlgnl tarles who received invitations were tumble to attend. It was the inten tion to have some of the survivors of the Maine witness the launching but none was present. The honor of chridbrii'ttg ' the ship was given to Miss Mary Preble An-' derson, of Portland. Me., a descendant of the Preble family that has added fame to thp naval honors of the coun try. Next to the ship itself. Miss An derson was the centre of Interest and her every movement was elosely fed lowed. At 10:2f? Miss Anderson step ped upon the 'Mitand that had been erected at the bow of the hull. Sho was escorted by Henry S. Cramp, and was accompanied by Governor Hill, his staff, her parents and several oth er members of her family. Before a)/* arrived the knocking away of tho ''mocks from under the great mafs of steel had begun and all was ready when the tide slacked. Then the shoe piece, the last timber that held the ship, was sawed in twain and the ves sel began to move. Before she had receded a foot Miss Anderson, true to custom, struck the bow of tho Maine a blow with the bottle of ehiyn pasne and, formally christened her. As tire veBsel slid off the ways a great Bhout went up and every stoam craft In the vicinity began the tooting of whistles. The Maine, after she reach ed midstream, was taken in tow by several tugs and brought to the shore. After the launch an Informal luncheon was served in the dould loft of the shipyard.
