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.

that the death of Mrs. Miles, resulting

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

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

sent to the president at Canton.

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.

dozen persons being present.
George A. 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.? _

party."
The following state ticket was nominated:

Lieutenant Governor Henry C.

Attorney General?S. L. Clark.

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

steps of the jail and appealed to th?
mob in the name of law and order
