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

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.
The foraec crops, including peavin~s
and g'ass, lcok p omis'ng.

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

John D. Keenari for State Treasurer.
Congressman-elect J. A. Conry and
W. F. Francis, of Boston. were stabbed

Because of the discovery of alleged

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.
