Trade and Tariff the Domi
nant Issues
newIerman policy
Other Nations Will Be Pro
voked to Reprisals-America
(Included in the Circle of the
World's Jealousies
London, Aug. 3 The fact that ques
tions of trade and tariff will dominate
the future politics of the world is dem
onstrated afresh alniost daily. Noth-i3
ing could furnish a clearer object lesson
than the far-reaching effects of Ger
many's announcement of a high tariff
on food stuffs. The domestic economic
situation in Germany is aiready upset,
for nearly all classes of industry fore
see serious disasters to the country's
foreign trade byj reason of reprisals and
the increased cost of living due to the
enhanced prices for the benefit of the
agrarians. There seems to be no aues
tion, however, that the agrarian party
controls the situation.Their real desire
is the absolute prohibition of the impor
tation of dood stuffs and they are strong
enough to destroy any government
which will resist their demands.
The Austrian newspapers already de
clare freely their conviction that the
acceptance of the new duties by the
German parliament will precipitate a
tariff war between Austria and the Ger
man empire. The effect already has been
to alienate the sympathies of the strong
man party in Austria and to bring Hun
gary into line witth the clericals in ques
tioning the value of the tripK alliance.
These and other facts in th. genrr.il
situation Rive some point to a gloomy
but important article in today's Specta
tor. Discussing "the new and e ious
danger which bewilders all who can
think," the writer, after pointing out
that old causes of war, namely per
sonal rivalries and jealousies of rulers
aud leaders, have almost disappeared,
expresses the fear that "the whole
world may fling its future avay for the
gratification of its spite and greed. Na
tions have become suspicious of each
other and they snarl with fierce jeal
ousies and fiercer greediness and dis
trusts, the fiercest of all in which his
tory is seen to have divided dynasties
and now divides peoples. Each is as
angry when it sees another gain any
thing as a dog is when he sees a bone
in another dog's mouth. Each thinks
itself injured when another is enriched;
and what is worst of all , each be
lieves in its heart that every other is
plotting astutely and chiefly to deprive
all rivals of that which they possess.
"The new hunger for comforts, the
new knowledge of the external wsyri
ami the- riches it contains unite with
new freedom and rapidity of inter-com-jnnnication
to produce hatred of rivals
at least as strong as tho ancient hatred
of races or religions. Great nations
are ready to light to the death for
trans-marine acquisitions, for privileges
of trading, and, above all for profitable
monopolies. Governments are forced to
interfere, usually with menace, to se
cuie concessions for their subjects. In
short, while governments are tranquil
peoples hate each other, to a point at
which the maintenance of peace be
comes daily a more difficult perform
ance. The spirit infects all countries
alike, even Great Britain which usually
is so free in her inner pride from any
impulse of envy or apprehension, and
if it cr.nnot be allayed there will in
the end bo war, and war in Europe or
with America, which is now fully in
eluded in the circle of jealousies, would
mean a disappointment for half a can
tury for all the hopes with which it
begins and a waste of new resources
upon competitive and skillful killing
and diversion of all powers of thought
from conouests of nature to conr;eusts
LYNCHING
LET
The Sheriff Appears in Time
Men Flog Two Negroes
New Orleans. Aug. 3. At Joe Jeffer -
son s - ismnu, ucria piirisn, a mou ul
white men flotrsed two neeroes. shot
two others, one in the neck, the other
in the right -shoulder, nnd were about j
lynch the negro woundd in the shouldar
when Sheriff Henderson arrived on the
scene and unassisted prevented the
lynching. .
The trouble originated last Wednes
day in a row between whites and blacks
led by Tom Brown at Delcambrie's
bridge. A party of whites started last
nitdit to whip Brown. As they approach
ed Brown opened fire on tllem and fl'M
to the east of his house. The house
was riddled with bullets ; and Brown
was finally driven out with his three
nephews, two of the party-being badly
wounded. Two of the nephews were
whipped and the mob had tied a rope
around Brown's neck aud was hauling
over each other. .., Everything, in fact,
is propitious except the nature of man.
So far as safety and progress are con
cerned the world gained little by the
exchange of royal ambition, a driving
force in politics, for popular jealousy
and greed." ,

VIEWED WITH ALARM
Intended Withdrawal of 40,
000 Troops from Africa
London, Aug. 3. The government now
avows its intention to withdraw forty
thousand men from South Africa. This
announcement despite the fact of the
improvement of the military situation as
against the Boers, is offset hy the dis
couraging condition of affairs in Cane
Colony, which ..-frre worse than at any
pedod of the.. war. It is naturally in
ferred in this country that the men wl
be brought home, but the present in
tention is to send the greater part, if
not all, the toops to India. Nothing
has transpired, during the .present week
concerning th crisis in India- and 'Af-
ghanistan, and there is reason to believe
that tie government entertains stronger
hopes than a fortnight ago that a strug-;
gle will be averted.

Strikers and Steel Trust Can
not Agree
UNION MEN DEFIANT
The War to Be Carried Into
Other Branches of the In
dustry and Will Make 100,
000 Men Idle
New York, Aug. 3. The executive
board of the Amalgamated Steel, Iron
and Tin Workers, after failing today to
! get any concessions at a meeting here
would be continued and that oi-d-s
would be given to the union men em
ployed by the. National Steel Company
to go on a strike at 6 p. m. tomorrow.'
On the other hand, the mill owners will
seek to open their mills, as opsotunitv
offers and keep them open without the
assistance of the union.
It is understood that President Shaf
fer sant out the strike order here to.
night and- that every vice pesident on
tne executiv board sent -an order to th
saanie effect to the mills in his dist
rict. The attitude was far from concilia
tory, even at the outset of the confer
ence, and when subseauently the steel
company men refused to accede to the
nnirmizinc nf the mills which have fifOlie
into- lll urKUUlZillluii niuvtr mc oiiiat:,
all prospects of agreement disappeared.
While it is true the board were dis
posed to give wdy to some extent, on
their demand that they should be per-
.mitted !U organize lodges in non-union
'mills, they stood out for the recognition
' of the union in those plants which.
hitherto independent, have since the
strike. become more or less affiuated
with the association. The demand, they
sav. was refused noint blank by Mor
gan and his colleagues. "Secretary Wil
liams of the executive board, stated that
about 100,000 men are employed in the
mills of the three companies to which

an attempt will now be made to extend
Mr. Morgan tind those who attended

proposition given below. We ask that
the scale be signed for, none but those
mills which -flre organized aud where
the men ceasing to work have signified
their desire to be connected with the

was not because we do .lb ted our prcsd
demr, T. J. Shaffer, and Secretary John
Williams, who have cur confidence and
endorsment, hut in the hope of attain
ing settlement of the strike.''
Today's conference grew ru of a re
quest made by the nnn themselves. A
week ago President Shaffer and Secrcta
rv Williams were brouchv to New York
I by G. M. Harvey to discuss with Mr.
Morgan and Mr. Schwab the conditions
npen which the men and the employers
had made issue. Agreement was en
tered into which was signed by both
sides . The terms of that agreement did
not become known today. The under
standing arrived at was that the scale
of wages determined upon Jniy 1 last
should be ratified and that four non
union men mills should be given to the
association.
Messrs. Shaffer and Williams took this
proposition back to Tittsburg and pre
sented it to the executive btiard, but it
was not accepted. It is understood that
at ft meeting cf the board last Tnesday
Shaffe: depied that he had put his sig
nature to the agreement, but that a
drrument exists with his signature upon
it cannot bo questioned. . Net satisfied
with what was accomplished by their
president and secretary, the onrd de
cided, after nearly two weeks ineffec
tive argument among themselves, to
come to New York and see what they
could do as a body. Through Veryl
Preston of the American Sheet Steel
Co. it was a ranged, that they should

reached McKeesport uus afternoon that
the Amalgamated advisory board had
failed to reach an agreement with tha
officiaals of the steel trust Enterprise
Lodge of the association was in ession
in HaberHalL -When theannonnce--oa
morTo that the board had d&-
111 1- 11 l. j. 1 i. v w - -
cided to continue the strike .the news
was greeted with loud cheers. The' sus
p nse of the oast week has been great,
and knowledge that the time for wait
ing bad gone by and that for fighting
arrived gave relief to the men. Na
tional Organizer Thomas Flynn of the
Federation of Labor.' was in attendance
at the meeting.
A great meeting of the employes of
the lap welder department of the tube
works was held tonight in Coliseum hall.
In a conversation with your correspond
ent Mr Fl-nn said:
"Just at present the Federation of La
bor does not propose to do anything. It
is not yet time for us to act. V e can
not join in a sympathetic strike even to
aid the Amalgamated Association. So
long as we are ible to work and not
violate our rules there -will be no strike
of the Federation men; they will remain
at work and tv.n out what material
thera is on hand."
"Will the railroaders carry the prod
utcs of the steel corporation?'' he was
asked.
"All I will say about this is that
st Ike has been forced by the United
f.iatC3'Stccl Corporation. Oiganized
bor is fighting for its life, and a man
fighting -or his life has the right to
fi-rlit with all the' strength he possesses.
If it is necessary to tear up everything
in the country to win this strike it will
lie done The time for parleying? has
gone by. The steel corporation has
cle-ttd to- fight and light it must be.
Whether this will develop into a general
strike
ir not is a Question tn.at remains
witn the steel corporation. If it must

the Federation- of Li.boc er&nr,
pledged to -aid the Amalgamated A?so
cVdon in this struggle. We will not
order strikes in sympathy, but our
member will not be permitted 'to do
anything to aid the United States Steel
corporation to defeat its employes."
Tomorrow" several meetings will be
held at which the different denartcn-nta
of the National Tube Works will be ta-
Mljkcn into the federation. At the meet

HALF HOUR OF STRIF!
Pistols and Clubs Used, but
Nobody Hurt Moral Sua
sion Fails to Convince
Strike Breakers
Wellsville. Ohio, Aug; '3 -The long
T
feared trouble here came 2r'y this intra-'
ing. Many of the strike breakers'-weva
kept away from the mills bytho army.
of pickets that surrounded their board-(
ing houses. During the clash stones
were thrown and several shots were fired
but no one was hurt as far as is known.
The case of the outbreak was the -an-
ger of the strikers at being caught nap
ping yesterday when one crew of Bina . V
strike breakers from. Scoftdale was ship-
ped into The plant. This gave Brook
man, tha manager, a sufficient force to
operate the mills, just double the number
that ho had going a week ago. The.
strikers were much excited when they
discovered that they had been . duped.
It was predicted that there would bn
trouble before morning, but the cry has
been raised so often since tne stride ie
gan that little attention was paid to it
outside the ranks of the strikers who.
when they, started out early this morning "
to prevent the non-union men from jroins
o work, had the town xo xnemsnves.
Their first move was to surround tho
boarding house of the strike breakers.
When the non-union men came out and
were hailed they rehabilitated by throw- -
ing stones at the strikers, who closed in on
them. Then, almost point blank, the men
with the dinner buckets fired three shots
into the pickets. This caused the latter
to scatter, but the souna or ngnunj? at
the gate brought many other strikers t-.
the scene.
At 3.15 a. m. by surounding the board
ing house from which the shots were fired
the pickets, who were all concentrated-'
at that point for a time, captured three
strike breakers, including "Bummer"
King, who is notorious here. They were '
held, up against the fence of the mill aml
moral suasion tided, but it failed. They
swore they would go to the-plant.
Meantime two other strike beakers in.
Phillip's bof.rding house were held m
by another picket. Tho strike breaker!
were thoroughly scared. Men comingo .
work at the main gate, were held upon
the railroad track and argued with, but
no violence was offered.
When the second whistle blew then?
were many strike breakers who could not
reach the mill. The pickets, except for
a few clubs, seemed to be unarmed, and
none of the strikers were hit by the shot
tired by the non-union men. At.-tha
boarding house the mistress drew a re-'
volver on the pickets and made them fail
back. Mrs. Phillips, the woman with tl.o
revolver, upbraided the. strikers and m.iu
her husband return to the house.
told tho pickets he should go to wcrk -lithe
mill in spite of them. . " " '
The mayor and his police arrived ct liie
scene after the encounter had ben n fer. -more
than half an hour, and when thy
appeared tho strikers retreated. . '-,
