I 1 N0 PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT. president Shaffer Says the Battle of the Steel Strikers Will Qo On Until the Workers Wlo. by Telegraph to the Horning star. - Pittsburg, Sept. 11. While atories 0f a peaceful settlement of the strike of the Amalgamated Association were heard to-day with much force and per sistency, President Shaffer continued to deny them emphatically, and said that the battle of the steel workers would go on until they won. He de jjied that the executive board had in truded him to settle the strike on any terms and said that .he would not' go to New York or make any further pace move for the present "While the president of the Amalga mated Association was standing in this position, the officials of the steel cor poration were putting forth actual efforts to start their plants. This was particularly the case on the south side. During the day the company held the strikers' pickets back by a show of police and got a lot of provis ions, cooking utensils and cots for the men to sleep on into the Monongahela plant of the American Tin Plate Com pany. It was officially announced at the same time that there was an am Die number of men ready to enter the plants and start the mills as soon as the? were in readiness. While the strikers were busy watch ing these movements - on the south side, the officials of the same company showed- greater activity about the Star mills. About 11 o'clock in the morning, a car loaded with skilled men for the Star plant arrived at the Union station. These men were taken to the plant without any interference from the strikers, as none were about at the time. The efforts of to-day, it is believed, have practically ended all possibilities of the Amalgamated As sociation ever getting back the Star mills into their eontrol, as the men who have gone to work there have de clared their intention of remaining as individuals for all time. - SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.

No Action Taken to Secure Possession of Emma Qoldman The Paterson Anarchists. r Bg Telegraph to the Morning Btar Wahixgton, Sept. 11. The De partment of Justice has not decided upon any steps to secure possession of Emma Goldman for the purpose of taking action against her in the Fed eral courts. She was arrested "by the Chicago police on the request of the Buffalo authorities and it is supposed by the Department of Justice that she will be taken to New York State. The Secret Service authorities state that she was not arrested at their request and that . they have no idea of pro ceediag against her unless directed by the Department of Justice to do so or unless they secure testimony showing that bh was involved in the shooting of the President. Chief Wilkie said to-day that so far he has uot secured any evidence tend ing to show that the anarchist bodies at Paterson, N. J., bad anything to do with the shooting of the President. Chief Wilkie denied in most positive terms the report that his office bad re ceived warnings that the President's life would be attempted at Buffalo. RalAigh Hews and Observer: Mr. RrTi Liverman has discovered a new variety of cotton on his farm, near Roxobel, which promises to be the most' prolific in fruitage of all the varieties now cultivated. Mr. Liver man does not know how to account for its existence, but expects to pay special attention to saving the seed. The National Marble Company, of Murphy, Cherokee county, was Monday incorporated by the Secre tary of State, with $500,000 capital stock. It may, however, commence business with $260,000. It is said that the Cumnock coal mines, in Chatham county, will be reopened in the near future and operated by a large force ' of hands. It is claimed by leading members of the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance that the movement to unite the cotton growers of this Stale in a fight against the cotton. oil trust is growing rapidly. It is aided by the news from New Or leans that the oil mills have united in a movement to 'reduce the price of cotton seed 50' Per cent. The mortuary report for Raleigh for Au gust shows that there were twenty deaths ten white, ten colored. Of these, twelve were of children under five years.

The President Continues ia Excellent Spir itsNo Attempt Will be Made to Re move Him to Washington Until He is Completely Recovered. By Telegraph to tne Morning Btar. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 11. The con dition of the President continued favor able throughout the day and nothing occurred to shake the faith tEe attend ing surgeons and 'physicians have ex pressed that he will recover. The danger from two sources was pro nounced practically over to day. The holes in the stomach proper, caused by the perforation of the bullet, are now considered healed by Dr.McBurney and his associates, and the eminent sur geon pointed to the fact that the beef juice fed to the patient last night was readily digested as proof of this. Suf ficient time has also elapsed to war rant the doctors in asserting that the danger of inflammation where the bullet, lodged has disappeared. It is believed that the ball has now become encysted in the muscles of the back and unless its location should prove troublesome later on, there will never be any necessity for removing it. Dr. Mann, in speaking in regard to this to-day said he knew a man who lived for years with a bullet in the muscles of his heart. Satisfactory Progress. The attention of the physicians is now, therefore, mainly directed to the care and treatment of the wound caused by the incision made in the abdomen above the naval when the operation was performed. This wound is progressing satisfactorily. "Decided benefit followed the dress ing of the wound last night." is the way the doctors put it officially. The slight scare which followed the. an nouncement at midnight last night of the opening of the wound did not have a leg to stand on to-day.when fuller details of its insignificant char acter were obtained. The "incident," as it is termed, would not have been mentioned in the history of an ordi nary hospital case, and the physicians last night debated for some time upon the propriety of making it public. As they had promised to take the public into their confidence, they finally con cluded that the redemption of that pledge compelled them to announce it. Their-forankness has already had one excellent effect. It has convinced ail who may still have harbored doubts as to whether the public were getting the whole truth from the sick room that their skepticism was un founded. , Evidences of Improvement. Another mile-stone passed . on the road to recovery, was the discontinu ance to-day by the doctors of the fig ures showing respiration variations in their official bulletins. The President dow breathes deeply and normally, and the addition of tife respiration was considered valueless in the bulletins. The President's pulse was slightly ac celerated in the afternoon, but the change was not deemed material and his temperature remained practically stationary at 100.2 from daylight un til dark. The evidences of improve ment were the President's keen relish of the beef juice given him during the night and the increase in his allow ance from one to three teaspoonfulls and also the fact that the wound is becoming "more healthy." . Dr. McBurney explained this after noon that the slight irritation of the wound stilL remaining should pass away within the next twenty-four hours. In Excellent Spirits. The President continues in ' excel lent spirits but he confessed to one of the attendants to day that he was get ting lonesome. He requested that he be placed in another bed. A depres sion had formed in the mattress on which he had lain since he was taken to the Milburn house and had caused some discomfort. Another bed was provided and this evening he was carefully moved from one to the other without diffiulty. He has asked sev eral times if there was any news which be should know, but inquiries, espe cially about public matters, are dis couraged and the rigid inhibition against the admission of any one ex cepthis wife and faithful secretary has not been relaxed. It is now vir tually decided that no attempt will be made to remove the President to Washington until he has completely recovered and in a general way it can be said that there is no likelihood that this will be until October. The Dhvsicians have all agreed that no attempt should be made to take the President to Washington while the probability of an oppressive hot spell in the capital city remained. Mrs. McKinley's Fortitude. Mrs. McKinley still displays the same fortitude she has shown since the tragedy occurred. She went for a drive again to-day and appeared bright and cheerful. The five members of the Cabinet who are here talked over pendiug questions for over an hour to-day at the Uleony House, adjoining the Milburn residence,- but it is understood that no action resulted. The South American situation was gone over and there was an exchange of opinion regarding the legal phases of the case against ' The Would-be Assassin. It can be stated again in the most positive manner that there is no con flict of authority between the State and Federal authorities for the posses sion of the prisoner. The members of the Cabinet, Attorney ;General Knox and Secretary Gage, as well as those who are here, are unanimously of the nnininn that- CzOlgOSz'S Offence 1J b train st the State of New York and Erie countv and that there is no Fed eral statute to cover the case. District Attorney Pennev consulted Secretary Root to dav as to the procedure. He did not seek Mr. Root's opinion as sec rotary of war, but as one of the ablest law vers in New York State. Itisun derstood that the local authorities are only awaiting the result of the shot to formulate their charge against the as sailant of the President. After this afternoon's bulletin Sec tnrv Hav announced that he felt war ranted in leaving for Washington, and he left to nignt ior ine capital. The Last Bulletin. mtt.bttrn House. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 11. The following bulletin was issued by the President's physicians at 10 P.M.: "The President's condition continues favorable. Blood count corroborates clinical evidence of absence of any hlond nninnninir. He is able to take more nourishment and relish it. Pulse 120; temperature 100.4." The Night Conference. ' 'At the conclusion of the night con ference .the doctors gave another ex tremely gratifying report of their natient's progress. The Dhvsicians did not begin to leave tne Milburn residence until shortly before 11 o'clock. The reports vuicn iney nad to communicate could r ardly have been more gratifying than they were. Dr. Wasdin and Dr. Myn ter came out together. The latter was .mmmed on all sides by the eager newspaper men.. . 4'Good news I Good news 11" he cried, "nothing but good news.

He referred the mnnrtAra tn r Wasdin, of the Marine Hospital Ser vice, whb was standing at his side, for a scientific interpretation. The latter explained that a count of the blood was a microscopic examination of the relative number of white and red corpuscles in the blood to determine whether inflammation of any sort ex isted. An increase of white corpuscles, relatively speaking, would show in flammation and deterioration of the Dioou that might indicate peritonitis.. A BIG COAL DEAL. New York Capitalists Interested in West Virginia Coal Operations. 1 By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. RoanokbVa., September 11. West Virginia is on the eve of a big coal deal. Some time ago the initial move was made by the purchase of all the coal operations on Kanawaha river. It is said J. P. Morgan was behind it, and that the drafts for the purchase money bore his signature. Hardly had that deal been consummated before it was announced that the Flat Top field had been purchased by the same or allied interests. To day all the New River territory is agog. Messrs. Chil ton, McCorkle & Chilton, represent ing New York capital, have for the past week been quietly at work and it now turns out that there is not a coal operation on New River on which there is not a twenty-day option of purchase. Whether or not the purchase will be made will probably be definitely settled to-morrow, as at that time pres ent options will expire and it will re quire a deposit of 120,000 to renew. RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. Resolutions Adopted by the Southern As- sociatlon in Session at Asheville. I By Telegraph to the Morning star. Asheville, Nf. C," Sept. 11. The Southern Association of Railroad Commissioners in session here to-day adopted resolutions tendering to President McKinley the sympathy of the association and of the people of the South, congratulating the country that the South has no safe abiding place for anarchists, and urg ging that "Congress should without delay pass such laws as it may be au thorized to do, making it a felony and punishable with deportation or imprisonment at hard labor for per sons to assemble in any State of the Union for the purpose of discussing and proclaiming sentiments of an archy and conspiring against our form of . government" MEETING OP EMPERORS.

It is generally to the Interest of an employer that an apprentice should not learn his trade as a whole,- but only a. little section of it says Joseph Horner In Cassiers Magazine. It pays better to keep a lad repeating the perform ance of one section of his craft than to teach him alL More' money is made. ova. me apprentice Decomes a young H specialist, a prig In his teens, cocksure over some little piece of handicraft at which he may earn something over his normal wages, and many, a lad does not become disillusioned until be has to face the world and try his luck in other shops. . "And therefore the best shops ia which to place a lad are not the big es tablishments, but the small ones, where very class of work Is done and where tools and appliances are often scant A lad will learn more in these than in those replete with every appliance and minutely subdivided into sections and! groups. v . The best training for a lad today is that which he can evolve for himself. The greatest evil that can befall him is to become a specialist and nothing more while in his teens. Yet that Is what must happen If he spends several years tending machines or doing re petitive, unvarying tasks In one big es tablishment The best training, therefore, today is that gathered by the peripatetic youth. If a lad cannot gain experience in one place, he should move about gathering as much as he can accumulate with one firm, then on to another, and at tending training schools as opportunity offers. His views become broadened, he becomes self reliant and in time, having found his true work, he may settle down as a specialist DRESS UP FOR SUICIDE. Said to Be an Invariable Rnle With) Women Seekina; Death. "If I should ever be called upon to furnish Indisputable proof of the in herent pride of woman," said a police sergeant "I would point at once to her Invariable rule -of dressing up in her best clothes when she goes out to com mit suicide. In my experience on 'the force I have had occasion to handle a good many suicides and afterward in vestigate their personal affairs, and in every instance I have found that the poor unfortunates prepared themselves for death by donning their best bib and tucker. "The majority of the printed reports of suicides say that the clothes of the lead woman were 'good' or 'well made or 'elegant' If the woman contemplat ing suicide owns a silk waist she wears it Her broadcloth skirt and silk petticoat naturally go with this gar ment and she selects her best shoes. "I have looked up the history of many of these respectably clad suicides and have found that they owned but one gown with which they could make a decent appearance on the street and that that one good dress was chosen without exception as the appropriate garb In which to make the exit from this world's stage. ,It makes no differ ence what manner of death is chosen. the costume is carefully selected. "Let a woman sleep her life away un der the influence of drugs or burn her soul out with acids or sink into the slime of the river, she clothes herself in her most becoming garments and seeks the end with apparent tranquillity. Her instinct of gentility and elegance in clothes is with her to the last and even in the face of death she shrinks from a public appearance in unbecom ing raiment."

If a man fancies a girl, be seizes her by the hair of tb,e head, wherever she may be,, despite her pro testations, and drags her away to his home. Her resistance is not often seri ous, the pretense of refusal being due to the coouettishness inherent in the sex. When the couple reach the house of the groom, a wedding feast is fur nished forthwith, to which all the im mediate friends of the bride and bride groom are invited. But an acceptance of the invitation Implies the contribu tion of some viands to the entertain ment. Matrimony is attended by no further ceremony than this. When a husband crows weary of his wife, he simply orders her to leave him, and if she does not he turns her out ot doors. - Two Celebrated Blen'a Mottoe.
