COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. CITY. HOSPITAL MANAGERS. WILLIAM H.BEENABD Editor and Proprietor. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday, - - Afgust 9, 1901. AJATTLE OP THE GIANTS. Without discussing the merits of the present contest between the U. S. Steel corporation and the Amal gamated Association of steel and iron workers it presents some fea tures that have not heretofore en tered into strikes, and is different in some respects from any Btrike that we have heretofore seen. It is not a question of wages, or. of hours, how much wages the men shall re ceive or how many hours shall con stitute a day's work, for there was no dispute about these, but it is sim ply a contest between organized la bor and organized capital, each feel ing that its status in future will de pend upon the result of this contest, and both realize it. It was reported a few days ago that the representatives of the Steel and China, as the American troops Trust and the representatives of the have done, but, (as usual), the cablo strikers had made mutual concea- dispatches published yesterday sions as a basis of agreement, the broueht the news that England, for Copies of General Order for En campment Received in the 1 City Yesterday. QEN. RANSOM WILL SPrAK. Brigade and Other Officers to be Elected. Camp Does Urged to be Paid Re doced Rates On All Railroads. Random Notes of Gathering. NOT SETTLED YET. We have been assured, by cable dispatches a score or more times in the past year that the Chinese question had - been., settled, but every one of these dispatches was soon followed by others stating that there was a hitch somewhere and that some of the Powers had re fused to sign. Recently it was an nounced that the - whole matter was settled, tnat the foreign troops, with the exception of the legation guards, would get out of Pekin representatives of the Steel Trust agreeing to leave it optional with the workmen whether they join the association or not, and the represen tatives of 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 failed to agree and now each seems more uncompromising and unyielding than before, - each apparently determined to wage the fight to the bitter end. As the case now stands the Steel Trust having control of all the lead ing mills in the'country has the ad vantage of the strikers, because they not only have control of the princi pal mills, which gives it control of the output, and makes it impossible for the country to get its supply of such things as they make unless 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 are closed. If there were other plants to 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, I 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 wouid be com pelled to surrender the market to them or come to terms with the workmen so that they might start some unexplained reason, had re fused to sign the last agreement. England is in a somewhat embar rassing situation. She does not like the manoeuvring of Russia and Germany, but she is in no position, with the Boers on her hands, to take a positive stand in China and therefore all shecando is to try to kill time until her, hands are freer than they are now, and probably by that time both Russia and Germany will hate secured such a tight clamp on what they want. that England's protests and kicking will not amount to much. As one of the immediate bad re sults of all this dilly-dallying, check- i mating, and pulling against each other by the AlliedJPowers, or those of them which have ulterior schemes in view, we are told by Pekin dis patches that the" Chinese are becom ing very saucy 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, wherethe 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 it. But perhaps they don't want to settle it. ' As the date for the event approaches the prospects are growing brighter and brighter for tbe . annual reunion of the North Carolina Division, United Confederate Veterans, at Wrightsville Sound, beginning on the afternoon of Wednesday; Aug. 14th, and continu ing for three das. The gist of the general order issued about two weeks ago by Major -General Julian S. Carr, officially calling the encampment and reunion, has al ready been published in these col umns and it is now unnecessary to repeat , V During the encampment the an nual election of division and brigade commanders will take place, to wit: A major general and four brigadier generals. Only those will be entitled to voie at this election who are duly accredited delegates from camps which are reported b Adjutant - General Moorman as having paid their dues. The attention of camp commanders is especially called to this, and they will at once see that their camp dues are paid, as required by the constitution of the United Confederate Veterans. At Camp Aycock where tbe encamp ment will be held there are accommo dations for about . 1,000 persons and those who do not desire the novelty of camp life may find boarding places with reduced rates. All the railrpads have given a rate of one cent a mile in each direction for the occasion. Tickets will be on sale Aug. 12th, 13th and 14th and are good for one continuous passage until the 34th. The agent at any station will give the exact - price of a ticket from his station on . application. This rate is given to all visitors as well as to the veterans. Brigadier. General F. M. Parker, ol the Third Brigade, North Carolina Division, U. C. V., has issued orders for the annual election of officers for his division,from Eofield, N. C., under date of July 30th. In concluding the order General Parker says: "My comrades, with these induce ments, let us turn out in full force. This may be the last reunion for many of us before we cross the river. Tbe brigadier general commanding will be disappointed if the third is not the largest brigade of the division." One of the greatest features of the encampment will be the speech of General Matt W. Ransom. As pre viously noted in these columns, his speech will be made on the 15th inst, and a very large crowd of his old comrades and friends will very likely hear him. CONFERENCE AT ROSE HILL.

Held Their Last Meeting Yesterday Alter noon and Now Comes the New Su perintendent's Report. V The chief feature of yesterday after noon's regular monthly meeting of the Board of Managers of the City Hospital was . the reading of the monthly report of Dr. A. H Harriss, acting superintendent of the institu tion. The report covers the conduct Of the hospital up to the night of July 33rd, at which time the management passed over into the hands of the Board of Managers of the James Walker Me morial Hospital. The report , shows that during the month 43 patients were treated, of which number 23 were colored and. 20 were white. There were remaining at the hospital June 30th, 18 patients and 25 were admitted during the month, making a total of 43. Thirty- nine were discharged during July, in eluding the number passed over to tbe new hospital, and 4 died. Pay patients were treated 74 days and charity pa tients 398 days. Rations were fur nisljed to employes 345 days, making the total rations 817. The average cost per capita was 22 cents per day. The amount expended for subsistence dur ing tbe month was $167.18; general expenses, $143.01; pay roll, $163.43, Total, $493 62. The receipts were Pay patients, $142.80; prescriptions f36; city, $166.66; county. $250. Total. $594 96. The receipts over expendi tures were $101.34. Upon motion it was ordered that upon payment of -current expenses for. this month, the balance on hand to the credit of the City Hospital be turned over to the treasury of the new institution. The amount turned over is approximately $400. Upon the conclusion of this business Chairman McEachern stated that the board had been supplanted by the new board and there was no further use for its existence, whereupon an adjourn- ment sine die was taken. There were present at the last meeting, which waa held at the Court House at 3 o'clock, Messrs. McEachern, Holmes and Montgomery. Just before adjournment Chairman McEachern had occasion to say if Mr. James M. Hall, the popular interne at the institution, who was present at the meeting, that his services at the hos pital had been most satisfactory and he had great pleasure in expressing the sentiment of the hoard tn thin effect His reports were always neat and correctly kept; he hoped that there would be no change in the in terne for the new hospital. In this connection it is well to state that the new board -has notified all employes at the hospital that where services had been conscientiously and faithfully performed all would be re tained in the employment. - ACTIVITY AT PORT CASWELL.

In announc in V1?, action of the department it was officially stated that "it is deemed needful that a United States war ves sel be in that vicinity at this time " The order to the Machias followed th conference held at the Navy Depar. ment between Acting Secretary of State Adee and Acting Secretary of Navy Hackett, Mr. Adee had tl. dispatch received from Consul Gudeer last night, stating that the revolutiot ists had held up a train for an hour at Marachin on the line of the railroad across the isthmus and oniv about fifteen miles from Panama city. While this was not regarded threatening an interruption of traffic or giving ground for intervention by teJUDu,tet SteVyet itwas deerm-a advisable by the officials that our ships should be in the neighborhood in or der that suitable observations could made and steps taken to meet any s. rious emergency that might arise For the present, officials do not bt heve there will be any need of landing marines. The commander of the Ma chais, Lieutenant Commander Mason Sargant, is regarded as an officer of tat! and ability and besides this he has ha.i recent experience in West Indian ters, having been in command of the Scorpion when she made her recent trip to Laguira to keep watch oU American interests in Venezuela.

An out break somewhat similar to the present one occurred early in that year ami tue insurgents captured Panama and burned Aspinwali. The North Atlan tic squadron, under Rear Admiral Jouett, was sent to the isthmus. At the same time the Navy Department sent an expeditionary force from New York, consisting of 750 seamen ami marines, commanded by Command er B. H. McCall and includ ing three Gatlings and thrc 3 inch rifled guns. Admiral Joueti arrived at the isthmus April 10th, and at once landed marines and issued or ders to open transit across the ieth mus. Two armored cars, fitted with Howitzers, Gatling and Hotchkiss guns were sent over the line, clear ing tie way and making the entire transit. Garrisons of marines wer placed at Aspinwali and Matachin the latter place being where the revo lutionists have now held up a train according to Consul Gudger's dispatch of yesterday. Commander McCallaV expedition established headquarters, at Panama. Here the revolutionary leader Aizpuru was in full control and was expecting battle with th Colombian army. Commander Me Calla acted energetically, and gather mg his full force occupied Panama or. April 24th, arrested Aizpuru and other leaders and held them prisoners until -an agreement was signed that fighting suouia not laite place within the city. Three days later the Colombian army arrived and at a conference between the government cenemls Akmim and Admiral Jouett, the insurgents capitulated. All of th TTnitpH siaw forces were then withdrawn and were back in New York on May 16 The pr6S6Dt trouble nn thn lslhmiK' is far less formidable than that of 1885, but the procedure Is made clear in case the insurgents obstruct traffic There is no present numnan nt smi mg a ship down from the Pacific side.
