It was reported a few days ago that the representatives of the Steel Trust and the representatires of the strikers had mademntual.conces: sionB as a basis of- agreement, the ' representatives ofthftfteef TruSt ; agreeing to leave ve 1 lApfional? witlti the workmen whether they join the association or not,- and the represen tatives of t the' association : receding from their demand that the steel . plants employ none but union labor, but it seems there was some mistake in this, or there were other points on which they Jailed to agree and . now. each fseemsOnorei jcompre'mMng and unyielding than before, .each apparently determined ,ta wage the fight to the bitter end. '"STIIiTmmmw sfanSsHffieSteel Trust having -control ofjdliAelead ing mills in the country Vhasjihe ad vantage of the strikers, because they not only have control of -the frinci pal mills, which Tf e ft Jcojit6V gf the output, and makes it impossible for the country-to get its, supply pf such things hs tnet. mikenless through the plants it controls. It, therefore, has no fear of competitors taking advantage - of its enforced idleness and reaping the harvest while its , plants J are closed. If there' were btheplants ib -compete with it ,the , strikers might supply them with all the labor they could use. , and thus make them instru mental in bringing, the Trust to terms,, but there . are . not mills enough to do that and . the Steel Trust knows it. It can, therefore, afford to be, assertive and refuse to concede anything that would lessen its power over its workmen. While the Trust , has forestalled material competition at home by absorbing, - all - of the principal plants, it is protected from foreign. competition by the Dingley tariff which imposes practically , prohibi tive duties-, on .manufactures of steel and iron. If it were not for this American consumers could get their; supplies of such articles as they need from England and Ger many and the Trust would be com pelled to surrender the market to them or come to terms with the workmen so that they might start up in business again and recover the trade that the English and German manufacturers were getting during, its enforced idleness. It will be seen from this that - no matter how long the strike may last the Trust will told practical control of 'the home market, as it has no competition to fear at home - and is protected from foreign competition by the Dingley tariff, so that the American striker has : not only the Trust against him but the Dingley tariff ; too. ; If our ports were open to the iron and steel manufacturers of othercountries the strike jwould not hftVft'laateVlidays before the Trust would have surrendered as a matter of self 'preservation. , When the. workman in. these , pro-; tected industries Votes for a tariff to keep out foreign 'manufactures he simply votes to put a club; in the hand of protected corporation with which thejcan beat him into J sub mission j as the.

HOT SETTLXJFTET. We fliave beei. assured by cable dispatches a'(tfe?or more times in thepast year that the Chinese question had been settled, but every i one of these dispatches was bbnYfbllowBd by others stating that there was a hitch somewhere and that some of the Powers had re- f nsed to fiizn.. Recently itwas an ncced Ihat the whole matterwis settled thaii.4ho, Joreiga 2 troops. with the exception of the legation guards, would get out of Pekin anChina as the ? American troops have donV but assual), the cable di8patehes published yesterday broughtathe news that England, -for Bomffiealii4 asonh re England is in a somewhat embar rassing situation. She does not likee jnanauyri and Germany, but she is in no position, with; the Boers on her hands, to take , a positive stand : in China and therefore all she can do is to try to kUl timei until herfhandsare freer than they re now, and probably by that time both Bussia and Germany will have seoured such, a tight clamp on what i they want that England's protests and kicking will not amount to much.'-' : - ' ' . As one of the -immediate bad re suits of all this dilly-dallying, check mating, : and: pulling , against each other by the Allied Powers, or those of them which have ulterior schemes in view, we are told by Pekindis patches that the Chinese are becom ing i very sauey and that in ' Pekin they curse and jostle foreigners whom they meet on the streets. Of course this can't , go on long without some spirited "foreign devil" resenting it, when collisions and riot and more Boxer performances may be the re sult In 'fact there have, been indi cations of this .for some time, if not in Pekin in other parts of China; where the Boxers . have made their headquarters, preparing for another aggressive movement as soon as the Allied, troops have . been withdrawn. Unless these reports be much exag gerated the Chinese problem is far from being solved, and the the Al lied - Powers, - with their endless dilly-dallying, have themselves to blame. - for. fit. But 'perhaps they don't want to settle it. PEEVESTIOir OF TIRES. At the recent meeting of the fire men's companies in Charlotte papers were read on the prevention of fires, in which it was stated that three of the leading fire insurance companies of Greensboro had agreed to pay to the towns and cities in the State which "would adopt 'suggested j pre cautions five per cent.' of their net receipts on premiums ; from .those towns after fire losses had been paid. This as an inducement to adopt bet ter regulations looking directly to the prevention of liiesVV' ; ; It is a fact that at least two-thirds of the fires in' this country are the result either of carelessness or of preventable causes, or of failure to properly enforce existing laws. There is one town in the State which fur nishes an -object lesson in this re spectthat is $alem, where there has Deen but one house burned in a century, ind that was on thejdivid ing i line between I Salem jaridWin- ston Although it keeps, an ongine, it,-has; not what might ' be oalled a fires is simply the result of cautiohs regulations strictly enforced, . and fines when ; these rules and regula tions are not complied with'.

The . only party in Ohio which styles itself . the Progressive Democratic , party, ' and which had just six members in convention,' certainly shows itself progressive in its ambitious undertaking, if not in its numerical strength. A ugusta uhromcle, uem. il The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker thinks Secretary Long should kick Maclay out ol the JMavy D ADarfcrnent.

Washington dispatches, con cerninz the trouble between Tenezu ela and Colombia are evidently col ored against tgie former by the influ ence of 'the politico-busines8"gang that came near setting our liovern ment in a row with President Castro of that country in favor of the Asphalt Trust. 'That ' job : was squelched by the pressure of public opinion, though as a matter of fact the public does not care a rap which man or which country wins in a war between these so-called republics. Brooklyn Citizen, Dem. , Mr. Groot's "Progressive Democratic Party" of Ohio, which assembled in one hotel bed-chamber and had sufficient room to view the whole country with alarm, is now 1'ust about where it was at the start, t has no candidates, and no follow ing save Groot.

Why He Marveled at t Laek ol ' Audience. i think the' late Bill Nye. was at his best when an opportunity presented it self to make humorous remarks about himself or his own misfortunes," said M. A. Marks during a conversation in which the writings of the humorist were dis cussed. "I remember an incident which happen ed in Madison, Ind. the town in which. I was born and raised. I was manager of the playhouse we had in the town, and when upon a certain occasion the Wom en's Belief corps, an auxiliary organiza tion to the G. A. R., wanted to get up an entertainment for the purpose f raising money it asked me to pick out something I thought would be a drawing card. "I looked over the list of attractions and ran across the names of Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley, who were then touring together, ' I told the ladies that in my opinion they could make no better selection, and the humorist and Hoosier poet were immediately . communicated with. It so happened that a few days later I had to go to New York and, of coarse, left the entire matter with the ladies, telling them, to proceed at once with selling tickets. N J ... . "You may imagine my astonishment when . I returned home on the day on which the entertainment was to be given, when one of the ladies came to me and said that they bad sold but seven tickets and that they had" abandoned the idea of holding the entertainment at . all. - The worst of it was they had simply come to the conclusion that they could make no money out .of the entertainment -and . dropped it without communicating with Nye or Biley or with, their manager, ' "Of course in the afternoon they both arrived on the train, and It devolved upon me to-break the news to them. -. I shall never forget the feeling that came, over me when I entered their room in the tav ern at which they had put up. Riley was sitting in a choir in an apparently medi tative mood, while Nye, with his back turned toward the door, was unpacking his grip.' Nye did - not look np when 1 came in, 'but kept right on unpacking, and so I addressed my. remarks at Riley. I said that but" seven tickets had been sold and that the ladies bad decided to abandon the entertainment. : Then Bill Nye . turned . round and remarked: 'Only seven tickets sold!
