"j*r LX Leaders in council Will Probably Offer Another Proposi. tion to Employers. ONE MORE PRUPObl l IU> urrtKcu. Mr Scliw-ub to Be Acquainted With a Plan For Final Adjustment of 1 lie Present D.fficulties. Pittsburg, Special.?The conference of the labor leaders at the offices ot the Amalgamated Assoiiation was the leading feature of the day. The officials of the association all seemed pleased with the way things were m iv.ny ; u<l cu e c-i tnem said somewhat mysteriously: "In another six days ycu will see a decided change in the strike that will tell with greater effect cn the trust and aid in hurrying the final outcome ot this struggle." Just what this change is to be was not said, but it was inferred strcn'.v that the coming event hinged upon the conference that was taking place. Two sessions were held by the com'eros behind closed doors. After the adjournment ot the first session, none ot the participants would give Out any information 01 tne proceedings further than to say that the leaders had been called together for the purpose cf having the situation thoroughly explained to them and to have sonic action taken loking to the aid of the strikers morally and financially. All of the organizations were represented. There were present at the conference. beside the Amalgamated officials. John Mitchell, national president of the United Mine Workers cf America; J. W. Jenks. of the industrial commission; Grand Master Sargent. of the Locomotive Firemen; Ralph M. Easley. secretary of the National Civic Federation, and Henry M. White, general secretary of the United Garment Workers. The leaders say that at the labor conferem e Mr. Jenks proposed that some disinterested persons should convey to C. M. Schwab, president of the steel corporation, the information that a settlement might be effected provided the Amalgamated Association officials should sign the wage agreement of the mills they controlled < last year. The mills that have been | organized since the Milwaukee con-1 ilnn m ho AnpratPrl nn fl Tiro- I VCUltOU M. V IV wv wj/v. mv^>. >... ? g visional scale. Those that are fully | organized will be asked for the Amai-: gamated wage scale and conditions, j Those that desire to stay out of the . organization shall have the privilege | of doing so. Prof. Jenks will go East | and will use his own time to see Pres ( ident Schwab. When President Shaffer was seen *at his home he said in reference tc! the day's meeting that it was not a preconcerted one. but "just hap ' pened." President Mitchell, he said ' had telegraphed him that he would Kke to see liim on his way home from the Eastern coal fields, and soon af ter his arrival the other gentlemen made their appearance. During the meeting, however, the whole strike' situation was discussed. There was j nothing of importance accomplished. Mr. Shaffer said no arrangement had been made to submit a new peace proposition to the corporation, or a forth ft (i.Wf'VSai iv/* ui uibtttuvu, mx4?..mo, however, that ho did not know what individual action the conferes might take in the future. No mention was, made of the miners or other trades1 taking sympathetic action. It is be- j licve.i that as a result of the meeting, an effort will be made to induce the | corporation to r;; r: another con : ference. The specific means to bring; this about would net be discussed by! any of those present. Mavor R. J. Black. ef McKcesport. | who left rather mysteriously last Saturday night for the East, returned Friday morning. Cue of the first things he did after arriving at his of flee was to give the strikers a permit to parade Saturday afternoon. The permit gives the strikers permission to parade over all the principal sireets of the city. Several thousand men will be in line and there will be many brass bands. The strikers, it is said will march to Duqucsne and Homestead and try to get the men who are at work <o see that they are out for betterment of heir condition, "hey think that the parade will have a great effect in briging out the men to be is their ranks.

WEATHER AND CROP CONDITIONS Cotton Opening Slowly, Though a Good Deal Later Than Usual. The week ending S a. m., Monday, August 19th. had e/en. nearly normal tea peratures, with a maximum of i?'i degrees at Greenwood, and a minimuni of 66 degrees at Greenvil.e. These temperatuies were favo:a>le for crop growth and development. There was a slight deficiency in sunshine over the southeastern portion, while owr the remainder of the S_ate geue.al cloudiness prevailed, generally detrimental to crop development. H gh winds damaged corn and cotton In the extreme northwest rn counties. Excessive rains occurred over the lVf<54P:n nnrl nGrfhorn enintiow- cani ing freshets in all the rivers and creeks, that dt.s roved what tot om land crops remainel. Green\ile had 7.04 inches, Spartanburg 7.50, An "orson 8:20 end Liberty 6.G8. whi'e nra:y other i laces had smaller, tut ex.ejsive amounts for the week. Over the central, southern and (astern counties. the rainfall was normal, cr below, and generally beneficial. Van / pa nts had some rain cn every day. In small sec ians of Edgefie'd and Greenwood counties the ground is still dry. but with those exceptions, the need of dry weather is indicated. On sandy lands, cotton has taken on rust extensively, is shelding freely, and is losing (oor, but on clay lands a further improvement is indicated during the week, especially for early cotton which is h( avily fruited. Young cotton is g owing too much to weed and is not truiting satisfactorily. Early cotton is beginning to open over practically the who o State, al hcu?h picking will not be general fcr some time. The fir^t balo of the season was marketed at Charleston on the 17th. First tales were marketed, usually in August, in previous veais, as follows: 19C0 cn Oth: 1:99 on 4th; 1898 cn S.h; 1897 on 2nd; 1S96 on July 2sth; 18f5 on August 20:h; 1S94 on 15th. Seaisland cotton continues to improve and is fruiting. but remains undersized. Young corn looks promising where not destroyed by freshets, tut the general condition of co n ind:cate3 an extremely short yield. Fodder pulling is general. Tolaceo cutting and caring is nearing completion, although seme tobacco has Taken cn a new growth. R'ce is heading and filling well, and seine is leady to harwst.

Turnip sowing con inues under favorable soil conditions. In many sections the late peach crop is rottin: extensively. Army worms have apnrared in laree numbers, in a few eastern counties, and are destroying much .grass. Pastures are excellent. The Deported Spaniards. Tampa. Fla., Special.?The Spanish minister at Washington has askeJ Vicente Guerra, the Spanish vice con sul here, for the names of the subjects who were recently deported by the citizens' vigilance committees as leaders of the Resistcneia cigarmakers' strike, and for an investigation of the whole affair, so far- as Spain is concerned. The vice consul has tegun an investigation and has called upon those who reported the matter to the Spanish minister to appear before him an 1 give testimony. He says so far as he "-""-tiin all' nf thp fiPDOrtO.l ? UH aatci (.am .... ?, Spaniards were naturalized citizens of the United States. Glass Works Trust Brussels. By Cable.?La Reforme announces that the glass works in Roux. Coureelles. Floreffe and Mignies are to he amalgamated in a single company with a capital of 10.000,000 francs. If the four firms, however, fail to come to terms, the Roux concern will be the on'y one to accept the assistance of American capital. Two Negroes Killed By a Dynamite Explosion. Columbia, S. C.. Special.?Ed Walker and another negro were blown to atoms while working in a rock quarry at Bla'ksburg. They had loaded the hole when a drill was accidentlly droppod. oautir.g an instantaneous and tor rifle explosion, killing both men. Tersely Told. The Pennsylvania Democrats are expected to nominate Judge Harmon Yerkes for too Supreme Bench and John D. Keenari for State Treasurer. Congressman-elect J. A. Conry and W. F. Francis, of Boston. were stabbed during a melee in New York. District Attorney Philbin, of New York, has asked the grand jury to indiet Police Captain Thomas J. Diamond for alleged neglect of duty. The cotton operatives of Fall River, Mass.. say they will resist the proposed 14 per cent, wage cut September 3 Because of the discovery of alleged irregular diplomas Governor Yates has asked the Illinois State board of Dental Examiners to resign. : German surgeons have discovered that the delicate membrane which covj ers the contents of an egg will an| swer as well as bits of skin from a bu! man being to start the healing of j open wounds which would not other* j wise heal. The discovery has already been successfully tested. The density or population iu loreign I countries has recently been computed, j Great Britain takes the lead with 132 ; inhabitants per square kilometer, j which is equal to 0.3SG1 square mile: I Japan, 114.4; Italy, 100.0; the German j Empire. 104.2; then come Austria,S7; ! Hungary, 3U.G; France, 72.2; Spain, 33.9; the United States, S.4; Iiussiu, 3.9. The number of separate and ind* | pendent particles contained in a cubic j inch of air is expressed, according to ' Professor Tait, by twenty-one places | of figures, a multitude altogether be: yond human conception?a busy, jostling crowd, each member of which darts about in all directions, impinging on its neighbors some 8090 million times per second. A small worm, or slug, has been discuvpred that when handled gives 1 off a distinct odor of camphor, and I ejects a milky fluid that has not only [ the smell, but the flavor, and taste of camphor. It is what is called a inyriapod. and has its habitat in moist, undisturbed forests. Most myriapods secreto prunsic or hydrocyanic acid as ! a means of defense, but this one seems to have the camphor fluid for that purpose. An experiment has lately been made at one of the zoological gardens to see what effect catnip would have on the wild animals. The tigers and the puma would not touch it. but the lions, the lionesses and the ieopard went, fairly wild over it. The stately old lion played with it. smclled it and licked it, just as if he were a domestic cat, and the leopard picked it up in her paw, took long snuffs at it and rolled over it in perfect delight. The average duration of life is estimated to have been Increased in the last half century at least three years in men and three and a half years in women. I)r. Parker of London finds that smallpox has been reduced ninety-five per cent.: deaths from fevers in general, eighty-two per cent.; ' deaths front diphtheria, fifty-nine per cent., and deaths front phthisis, fortysix per cent. Antiseptic surgery has lessened the mortality from operations twenty per cent. Dr. H. S. Gaylord. of the University of Buffalo, states that cancer is caused by an animal parasite which has been identified and isolated. lie lias been investigating t lie cause of cancer for two years as head of the New York State Pathological Laboratory. He has inoculated animals with cancer perms, and cancer afterward developed in the animals. Cultures of thos? organisms have been injected in the abdominal cavities of other animals and they recovered, having apparently growa in the serum of the aui? mal. Colors of the Colleges. An examination of the colors of 100 representative institutions shows, as might be anticipated, that blue is by far the most popular color. In its various shades. says the Philadelphia | Saturday Kvcnlng Post, it Is the color of Yale. Washington and Lee. Trinity, of North Carolina: Middlebury, Kenyon. Central College and Kureka. When white is added to the blue the colors of Columbia and six oilier institutions are formed. The sous of Pennsylvania and four other colleges tell of th.? victories of the red and bine. Forty-one Institutions have blue in combination with other colors. Howard, the Central University, of Iowa, and Marietta are patriotic colleges, having adopted the colors of the American flag. Harvard, the University of Wisconsin. Ilipon and the University of Kansas yell for the crimson. Williams is one of a quartet which beasts of the purple. Cornell weaves earnelian and white together: P.rown. hrown and white. Five colleges share in their h.vo for the orange. It is a significant fact that no one has adopted black, though i: cnt'.rs into fourteen combinations. Wesleyan sings of "the glorious red and black." a;-] six other colleges join in the chorus. Dartmouth stands up for the on. Though white by itself is the color of only Ilowdoin. it is in thirtytwo combinations to form college colors. In this respect it comes next to blue. Four (of which oue is. of course. Princeton) defend the orange and black. Union. Swartbmore and Bates I have chosen garnet. Five colleges 'claim the purple and gold. Of the lflO colleges, forty-three have one color, 110 have two and seven have three. Loss of memory often comes from Lorrowing money.
