M i . .... ?r nnrTTftTP nni nCDATfVG PEAfE PPAPfKAfC GREAT STRUGGLE ON Second Effort at Trace Between Workers and Trust Fails. ?> _______ WILL NOW FIGHT TO A FINISH Every Union Man !n the Employ of Big Corporation Will Be Ordered to Join In the Prospective Gigantic Contest. Another effort to perfect a perma"v nent truce between the great army of steel workers and the giant corporation which employs it has failed, and leaves the conflicting sides as sharply and widely divided as ever. The leaders on either side met in New York again Saturday morning and. after a day of fruitless conferences and discussion, parted in a spirit that showed no tinge of conciliation. Neither side \ would surrender a position or concede a point in the dispute in which they are involved. The first conference of the day was between President Shaffer and twelve of his associates on the executive board of the Amalgamated association and a group of officials of the United States Steel Corporation, headed by J. Pierpont Morgan and President lr\ - Charles M. Schwab. At the end of an hour the conferees parted, having -L - V TV,n I&liea u> rtauu au agittjiucui.. iuc second conference was participated In only by tne officials of the Amalgamated association. Will Fight to a Finish. 'It will be a fight to the finish. No quarter will be given. We are prepared-*? spend all the money and time necessary to wipe out the Amalgamated association in all of our mills." This was the message that came over the wires from New York to officials of the United States Steel Corporation at Pittsburg Saturday afternoon. Officials were waiting long after the usual Saturday afternoon closing time to get word from the conference In New York between the executive board of the Amalgamated association and the general officers of the big trust. Two messages came. The first stated that the conference had adjourned between the workers and Mr. Morgan after receiving his ultimate decision in the matters in dispute. An hour before this time a second message came to Pittsbu y, announcing to the steel officials there that the executive board had decided that they would ''" ; not accept Mr. Morgan's terms. All Will Be Called Out. "Within a week every union man and every union man at heart in the employ of the United States Steel Corporation will be asked to join in the strike now being waged by the Amalgamated association. We must settle whether unionism is to stand or fall. "Thprp will hp no more conferences with the United States Steel Corpora ? tion unless the meeting is asked for by the officials of the corporation. The Amanlagametd association will not request a peace meeting." /' These and several other sjg?ifficant statements w*fe made by President Shaffer upon his return from the fruitless conference. It Is now a* fight to a finish between the billion-doMar steel trust and organized labor. Ma\ Shaffer says that he is ready to en^ploy every peaceable means within tfye power of man to win a victory. No Quarter is to be given and none will be asked. The entire management of the battle has been placed in the hands of President Shaffer. He has absolute power to call out every man who is connected with the progress of the fight to date. He finds that none of his battle lines have been broken. Promise is made by Mr. Shaffer that the trust will find the Amalgamated association is strong in ~ many of its mills./ It is considered probable by all interested that the strike ordered will become general, calling out the union men in the National Steel Company, the Federal Steel Company and the National Tube Company. Ther? is scarcely one of the 400,000 employees of the United States Steel Corporation but what may feel the strike. It may be that the American Federation of Labor will call out its thousands who handle products of the United States Steel Corporation; the structural steel workers may refuse to handle steel from the mills of the trust; the miners may refuse to dig coal for trust mills; the railway organizations may be drawn into the con test, although! that is not probable.

He will begin a canvass of the state at once. * Special Legislation Needed. A recent Columbia special states that the death of Mrs. Miles, resulting fmm hofnp- Ktrnrk hv a locomobile. may cause some legislation against that particular kind of vehicle. This special machine is a six-seated concern and frightens horses and mules as a locomotive engine if it is met on the highway. Numbers of horses have been stampeded on the country roads around Columbia and serious accidents have been narrowly escaped, ^rivers of nervous or high-strung horses are kept in a state of anxiety when taking an afternoon drive for fear this steam monster may be on the same road. The question has been asked whether it is legal for a machine of this | character to be operated on the pubI lie roads when its presence there imperils the lives of women and children. Relies From Indian Mounds. Mr. James M. Rhett, of Beaufort, wha has just returned from Lemon Island, gives an interesting account of some relics of the Mound Builders which were shown him by Mr. Lepine S. Rice, who lives on the island. There is an Indian mound on Mr. Rice's plantation measuring 15x15x5 ! feet high, and it is only partially ex| cavated. Quite recently Mr. Rice found the articles displayed to Inspector Rhett. Perhaps the most interesting relic of the group was an earthenware pot or i vessel measuring 12 1-2 inches deep by 11 3-4 inches across the top. It is egg or pear shaped and was so constructed _that It balanced itself perfectly, althougfr-ftrg'T^ly^flat surface about it was at it6 top. ?The most wonderful feature atfout this relic of a lost race was the fact that Its sides and bottom were only three-sixteenths of an inch thick, and this measurement was perfectly uniform throughout. The only attempt at decoration was around the top, where the clay was indented at regular ini tervals, giving a simple, artistic effect. The chief attraction about the pot was its perfect symmetry, which oompared very favorably with that of any modern pottery. A tobacco pipe, similar in shape to the pot, five or six flint arrow heads and portions of a human skull completed the articles in Mr. Rice's possession. The human remains were found beneath the pot, which, in an inverted position, completely covered the decayed skull. Mr. Rice appeared oblivious to the fact that his mound may prove a veritable gold mine to him if scientists can be interested and the work of excavating be continued under their direction. * * Doctor's Body Cremated. Dr. Henry Buckingham Horlbeck, a former president of the American Public Health Association and for twenty years the health officer of Charleston, died the past week. In his will, which was immediately opened, directions were left to have his body cremated and the ashes interred at Magnolia cemetery. Mayor Pro Tern Kol.lock left Charleston a day or two ago for Staten Isltand to deliver th^ body to the crematory. Dr. Horlbeck was an authority on yellow fever, and had charge of quarantine regulations in this section in recent yellow fever epidemics along the gulf coast. The cremation is the third instance of the kind in the history of South Carolina, the first having been Henry Laurens, the president of the continental congress, who died In 1792, the first cremation in this country. Dr. Horlbeck was a confederate surgeon of ability. Commenting on the above The Atlanta Journal says editorially: "Dr. Henry B. Horlbeck, for twenty years chief healt.i officer 01 Charleston, died last Friday. He left in his will directions that his body should be incinerated and bis wishes were compled with. "Dr. Horlbeck was a strong advo-x ?: II - < f fnr cate 01 trtruminjii. nc uigtu n sanitary reasons, and his will attests the sincerity of his faith. "The conviction that incineration should be substituted for burial has undoubtedly grown greatly in the last few years. "There are in many cities of the north and west crematories for human bodies constructed on scientific principles and at large expense. As this raettod of disposing of the body / -' ' after death has been more generally adopted the cost has been reduced ! very much. Incineration has a great j and growing number of advocates, in; cluaing some of the most famous physicians and men of science in the country. "The request of Dr. Horlbeck leads the Charleston News and Courier to recommend that provision be made in iuat city for giving effect to such directions or wishes in any case. That newspaper adds: " 'The manner of the disposition of the body after death is purely a matter of personal choice and concern, and a suitable establishment for the purpose of cremation should be provided for the claas of our people, however small, who may prefer that method of disposition.' "There is not now, we believe a southern city that has provision, but undoubtedly there will be some before long. It is the practical Impossibility of having their wishes complied with that prevents many persons from making a request like that of Dr. Horlbeck. It is predicted with strong show of probability that before the end of this century there will be more cremations than burials in the cities." DEATH CLAIMS GERMAN EMPRESS The Mother of Emperor William anc Sister of King Edward Dies Suddenly at Cronberg. The Dowager Empress Frederick, oJ Germany, died at 6:15 p. m. Monday at Cronberg. Her demise was somewhat sudden. At 4 o'clock her physicians reported no change in her condition. Emperor William and her maj esty's other children and the Empress Augusta Victoria were in the sick room moot of the day. They were all around the bedside when the dowager empress passed away, quietly. The flag on the castle was immediately half masted. Two hours later Emperor William conducted the members of the dogawer empress' household into the death chamber and led them, one by one, past the bedside to take a last farewell of their mistress. It is said the cause of death was dropsy accompanying the cancer. The remarkable vitality of the dowager empress astonished her physicians. She retained consciousness to the end. A premature statement that the dowager empress was dead was given out officially at Hamburg castle shortly after noon. Count Marshal Haupt, who gave out the inaccurate announcement, has been summoned to Cronberg. The false news was telegraphed widely, and many German cities displayed signs of mourning. The dowager empress knew her days were few. She said" farewell to most of her servants. It is understood that she had arranged 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 in summoning King Edward, as It was not desired that he should have a long W*-? ft I f r? an. Suffered Without Complaint. The Berlin papers assert that the ' dowager empress long ago adopted her husband's motto, "Learn to suffer without complaining." She recently ordered that the public should be cx"TciuJ^-4?G grounds of Friedrichof, savingS^ ? i "The world shall not l5j&S!iL_wbat 1 am suffering; I will not be pitied*in*fiiy misfortune." The announcement of the death of Dowager Empress Frederick was pub lished too late for comment in the evening papers, with the exception of The Freissinnige Zeitung, which recalls her heroic bearing during her husband's last days, "when she silently endured the heartless allusions of the chauvinistic German press." This journal also praises her "dignified self effacement" since the death of Frederick the Noble. The News In London. The news of the death of the Dowager Empress ^nread slowly in London. The Associa^u Press gave Buckingham palace, Marlborough house and the Mansion house the first information that her majesty was passing away, as all members of the royal family and many of the officials were out of town for the holidays. President McKinley Informed. A dispatch was received at the state department at a late hour Monday night from Ambassador White announcing the death of the dowager emnrocc r?f nprmanv Thp riisnatrh was sent to the president at Canton. A FILIPINO PROCLAMATION. Aguinaldo's Successor Urges His Followers to Continue Active Campaign. A Manila special says: Miguel Malvar, who has been recognized as the successor of Aguinaldo by the Filipino junta at Hong Kong, has issued a proclamation dated July 16th, copies of which were received Monday morning, giving assurances to the natives of the continuation of an active campaign and expressing hope for its successful issue. The proclamation, of which 50,000 copies have been printed, purports to emanate from Batanga. It is a characteristic Insurgent document, charging the Americans with all sorts of atrocities. Four New Counties Probable. Four special new county projects are now pending in the Alabama constitutional convention. CLAIMS AGAINST 8PANIARDS. Florida Man Demands Heavy Indemnity From the Dons.

Groot was both temporary and permanent chairman and was made chairman ol the state committee of the new party. The convention was held in his room at the Great Southern i hotel and in that small room he delivered his keynote speech of a half hour I in length. The reporters who wero perched on and about the bed outnumbered the delegates two to one. A few spectaf tors stood at the open door. The total attendance did not exceed thirty, while the forms of a state convention were carried out between the hours of 2 and 4 p. m. On returning thanks for his election as permanent chairman, Mr. Groot said great reforms had sprung from humble beginnings, and he was glad to know that there were 'some who refused to be led around by the money trust with rings in their noses." It was decided to call the new organ, ization the "progressive democratic party." Other names proposed were: "tho Rrvnn democratic party," "the X iiW * J v.? _ independent party," and "the reform party." The following state ticket was nominated: Governor?Dr. Rudolph Reemelin, Lieutenant Governor Henry C. Cordery. Supreme Judge?Rial M. Smith. State Treasurer?J. C. Shepard. Attorney General?S. L. Clark. Clerk of Supreme Court?Charles Bonsall. Member of the Board of Public Works?R. B. Connell. Great Chunks of Fun. A delegation from the Hocking valley reported after the convention thai they had come to the city to attend the gathering, and on being unable tc find it they went to the races. It is doubtful if there ever was more amusement at a convention. Even the promoters of the movement, who did not disguise their disappointment ovei fiie small attendance, enjoyed the par ticlpation of the reporters, who used the chairman's bed in the absence ol chairs and who were allowed to take part in the proceedings with sugges tions. At the conclusion of the pro eeedings the reporters, who were Ir the majority, were given a vote ol thanks, and they returned the compli ment to the minority. Features of the Platform.
