DESIRE ON THE PiAKP OF THE
BIG CORPORATION TO PREVENT
A GENERAL STRIKE IN THE
MILLS.
Pittsburg, April 17. Quiet prevails
about the W. 'DeWees Wood -plant of
the American Steel "company at Mc
Keesport and this morning there was
am absence of idle men loitering on
the streets.
The strikers had' an exciting nigfht.
It Tvas reported that the comipany
would make an attempt to bring out
side men to (McKeesport and that a
score or more men rsvere across the
river awaiting an opportunity to be
smuersled Into the works. Patrols wera
thrown, out and every avenoue of ap-
iproach! guarded bult the expected move
did not develop. The Ihammer house
was the only department in onerition
iniess the siveet mitl fesUme work
soon the men in that department will
have no material to work on-after Fri
day of this week. During'" the night

m., or consider them?elves-discharjed.
A high board fence has been built
around" the wood mill and it is reported
that 'an attempt will soon be made to
start it. The plant has sixteen mills.
The TOjemibers of the National advis
ory board: and vice-presidents of the
Amalgamated association who had
been called together by President
Shaffer to consider "measures in con
nection with the strike were slow in
assembling. Previous to the meeting
Mr. Shaffer .said he would ask for
power to call oult, at 5t!s discretion,
the employes of the American Sheet
'Steel company and then as a-last re
fsrbrt to extend the strike order Uo all
the plants of the United States Steel
corporation. He did; not hesitate to
dectare his tfntention of carrying oult
bis prerogative of icaHing out the em
ployes of the great comitrinte if the res
olution were adopted by the board.
He said:
"I oouM not yield the point demanded!
of me at McKeesport. The issue has
been drawn; there can be no backing
down now.
"We have received telegrams from
our members in different sections of
the country .endorsing the- stand we
have taken and saying they will stand
by. us if it comes to a general strike."
"President Shaffer also wired Presi

Previous to theTmeeting a canvass of

out taking any action looking to calling

has made some overtures which none

GERMANY INDIGNANT
AT ROCKWELL'S FIGURES
London, April 17. The Times core
spondent today represents the German
government as being in a state of con
siderable indignation at the statement
in the American press of Rockhill's
figures of the indemnitiES which may
be demanded from 'China. The Times
says:
"The statement is exceedingly Incor
rect and calculated to give an entirely
false impression. The excess of the
German over the English claim is eas
ily understood. The Germans sent a
much larger force from Europe, while
this British sent one from India, com
paratively near at hand.
"In these drcuanstancesvit4s regard-
ed (here as a maiiter for deep regret
that the misleatfing "account published
in America should Ibe commented on
in itflie Engilisfh papers in a spirit calcu
lated to give offence to Germany.
"Great indignation is expressed at
the sugges'ttkxni that the indemnity
claimed by Germany includes a heavy
pecuniary mulct for the murder of
Baron Von Ketteler. The baselessness
of the supposition sfaown Iby the fact
that the German cvain io only $12,000,
000 as against $14,000,000 stated by
JRockhill, and therefore considerably
below the amount already voted by the
reicbstag tfor the campaign.
'There " is tk attempt in authorita
tive quarters to disguise the fart that
irrruch can 'be said In favor of the. Unit
ed States' suggestion In regard to a
settlement of indemnities, but the Ger
man government 'has refrained from
taking a definite attitude there, until
it sees bow it Is received by the other
powers."

n America the reign of ill-feeling aa:d
animosity has passed away? In Amer
ica Oatlholics and non-Oatholics differ
h creeds end spiritual allegiance; but
as true Americans they (respect one
another and accord to each other their
civil and social freedom,, all working
(together in peace and, harmony for the
greater weal of society and of country.
The problem before the church of
America, was, whether the Catholic re
ligion could prosper in an atmosphere
of absolute freedom, without air or
prop from" state organization or even
from compact social or nationa (tradi
tions, watered by the dews of heaven
alone, it could live and prosper. The
problem was most interesting for this
other reason, that whether for iwoe or
weal, the entire world- is seen rapidly
drifting towards the social and .polit
ical conditions of America, and the
church on trial in America, is on trial
before the world. . .
MIn my earnest desire 'that the Cath

Intends her to be, all that her oppor
tunitiies propel her to be, may I foe al

of the word, Americans, loving Amer

its interests, chary in "Manning it, ar
dent in defending It. (Surely the time
has come to leave off the spirit which
days of real persecution in olden times
did beget, to live for thie present and
the future, and to reach courageously
ibut honorably forward towards the
elevation of our .people to the character
as well! as to the condition of the free
men.
"Let us be just t$ America and know
and proclaim tkat nowhere, all things
duly considered, is the church freer
than iij America, that, nowhere as in
America, is she allowed to live in un
trammeled f needom: and to proper as
her forces and the zeal of ner eons
permit. '

DISORDERLY SCENE AT A
BISHOP'S CONSECRATION
Bow Church, London, Ban? with Cries
of Contfndintj Factions
London, April 17. The scene in Bow
church today during the consecration
of Rt. Rev. A. C. W. Ingram as a
bishop of London resembled political
meeting rather than as a religious ser
vice. John Kensit, anti-ritual, entered
a loud protest against the appointment.
His remarks caused an extraordinary
uproar and he was greeted with cheers,
hisses and shouts of "order," "shame,"
no popery," etc.
In the course of dr's remarks he ac
cused Ingram of being unfaithful to all
his promises. He concluded with say
ing that (he was prepared to appear in
tbe courts and -prove that Ingram was
an unfit person to hold thle position of
bishop of the Protestant church, owing
to his encouragement of these Sllegal
Romish practices.
Friends and opponents of Mr. Kensit
'became so uproariously that the vicar
general tried to clear the church.
Eventually (the vicar general overruled
the dbjectior.e and the election of In
gram was confirmed.
Disorderly scenes occurred outside
the church and finally Kensit was as
corted home by a score of policemen
and was followed by a howling mob.
