Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. TO AN INSTANT DOOM Nearly a Score of Unfortunates Are Consigned at Quaker City. Five Buildings Totally Demolished By Ignition of a Barrel of Gasoline—Forty is the List of Maimed. A terrific explosion in a block of six buildings at Philadelphia Monday night completely destroyed five of the structures and caused the death of from ten to twenty or more persons. Over two score of others were more or less seriously injured. Some of those taken to the hospital will die. It is not known how many persons were in the five buildings when the explosion occurred, and the exact number of dead probably will not be known for some time. The buildings were occupied as follows: 3 No. 1008, Housman's pool and billiard rooms. No. 1010, Moses Rosenthal's secondhand clothing store, occupied by Rosenthal, his wife and five children. No. 1012, William Jones, colored, restaurant, occupied by by Jones and about fifteen boarders. No. 1014, George McLemmy's grocery store, occupied by McLemmy, clerk and sefvant girl. No. 1016, Quigley's grocery store, occupied by Quigley, his wife, three children and his uncle. No. 1018, Albert Mounten's grocery and meat store, occupied by Mounten, brother, sister and clerk. The explosion occurred about 9:30 o'clock. What exploded and how it happened is not known so far, but it is believed to have been a barrel of gasoline in one of the three groceries. Almost every building in a radius of two blocks of the explosion had window panes shattered and were otherwise damaged. Every building of the opposite of Locust street was more or less wrecked, but none of them fell. A terrible cry went up from the ruins the moment the explosion occurred. Women, children and men, occupants of the wrecked houses, could be seen crawling from the debris, while the agonizing cries of others were heard in the wreckage. From all the surrounding buildings injured people came running and fell into the street, unconscious. To add to the horror, fire broke out in the debris the moment it settled to the ground, and in less than five minutes the great pile was burning fiercely from end to end. A general alarm was turned in for fire apparatus and ambulances, and in the meantime the work of rescue was voluntarily begun by those in the neighborhood who were not injured. Here and there a person was dragged from the ruins before the fire could reach the victims, several lives being saved by this prompt work. When the firemen reached the scene the flames had made great headway and were igniting the buildings across the street. The fire, however, was soon under control. Digging For Victims. The work of digging away the ruins was then begun in earnest. Near the edge of the debris several colored men were taken out and sent to the hospitals. While the firemen and policemen were digging in the debris and hauling away heavier timbers in several sections of the wreckage, cries were heard coming from the cellar of Mounten's grocery store. Fifty men, with rope and tackle, were immediately put to work at that point, and pulled away the roofing and flooring, which had fallen into a massed heap. From the bottom of the pile, doubled up, were taken a man and woman. The man was able to speak, but the woman was apparently dead. While the work of rescue was going on in the exploded block, hospital attendants and others made a search of all the damaged houses on the opposite side of the street and almost a score of persons were taken to various hospitals from these places. RAVISHER ROSS CONVICTED. Negro Escorted By Military Has Quick Trial—To Hang August 27. With an escort of 150 armed soldiers from Atlanta to protect him from the wrath of a people infuriated to desperation because of his crime, Raymond Ross, colored, was placed on trial at Canton, Ga., Tuesday for a criminal assault upon Mrs. Harriet Miller on the night of July 29th. Ross was found guilty after the jurymen had been out for seven minutes, and Judge Gober at once set August 27th as the date for the hanging. The negro was at once taken back to the Fulton county jail at Atlanta. The Savannah Tribune. GIGANTIC HAUL OF BURGLARS Strong Room of Big Smelter Works at Valejo, California, Relleved of $280,000 In Gold. The Selby Smelting and Lead Company, located at Valejo, Cal., some thirty miles from San Francisco on the bay shore, has been robbed of $280,000 worth of gold bullion. The theft occurred some time Monday night and was not discovered until Tuesday morning. The thieves tunneled from outside the building under the vault at the Selby works. They got away with nearly twelve hundred pounds of fine gold, worth $20 an ounce, without leaving a trace of their identity. The robbery is the most successful and remarkabe ever accomplished, and was evidently the work of skilled mechanics. It is supposed that when the robbers secured their loot they loaded it into a boat that was waiting and disappeared in the fog that had come over San Francisco bay. In their haste to 'get away they left two gold bars worth nearly $50,000 lying on the bank at the water's edge. The police at all the bay cities were immediately notified of the crime, but all they could discover was a few of the tools that the robbers had used. She Selby Smelting and Lead Company is the largest concern of its kind on the Pacific coast. Ores are sent from all over the western country to be smeltered and refined, and the gold is then turned over to the mint. A steamer makes special trips between the smelter and San Francisco, carrying ores and bringing back refined gold. Tuesday morning when the workers entered the vault to prepare the gold for loading on a steamer to go to San Francisco, the robbery was discovered. The thieves had taken the precaution of fastening the door of the vault from the inside so that it would be difficult to open from the outside in case they were Interrupted in their work. Probably preparatory engineering extending over several weeks was done before the robbery could be accomplished. Close to the wall of the building in which the vault is located a shaft was sunk below the foundation. Then a tunnel was run to the vault and holes were bored in the iron floor until an aperture sufficiently large to admit a man was made. Description of the Loot. There were four gold bricks in the vault which the robbers looted. Each was ten inches long, five inches wide and four inches in height. They were all stamped with the weight, number and fineness and run thus: "No. 1236, containing 1190.37 ounces; No. 1237, containing 1127.43 ounces; No. 1238, containing 1123.22 ounces, and No. 1239, containing 1073.79 ounces." All the bricks were .998 fine and worth $20.60 an ounce. In addition to this there was stolen from the bullion vault crude gold in all shapes and sizes. How the Scheme Was Worked. An official of the Selby smelting works mad the following statement regarding the robbery: "The robbers entered the vault through a hole about the size of a manhole in a boiler, and indications point to the fact that they had been working on the scheme for some time. Over 150 holes were bored into the bottom of the vault, and the workmanship indicates that mechanics of more than usual ability superintended the job. The holes were bored to within a hair's breadth of the surface and when the proper time came the plate was forced up. The plotters first excavated a hole alongside the building directl yin line with the vault. The work of excavating must have taken some time, and at the end of each night's work—for the work must have been done at night—a covering of laths, rubber sheeting and sacks was made, the hole being covered over with a laer of dirt, thus hiding any signs of what was going on. What became of the excavated dirt we have been unable to find out. It must have been removed in sacks. The covering, we have ascertained, was not strong enough to hold the weight of a man, but the excavation was made so close to the building that the employees never walked over it." SUPREME COURT DECIDES. Trouble Over Boundary Line of Two South Carolina Counties Settled. The supreme court of South Carolina has set aside the decision of the circuit court as to the boundary line between Spartanburg and Greenville counties. This decision gives to Greenville the right to levy taxes on the Pelham mills and other property near by. The dispute-arose over the claims of each county to tax the mill, both claiming the mill was in its territory. Engineers surveyed the line and by their testimony the circuit court decided in favor of Spartanburg. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 10. 1901. DEPORTING STRIKERS Enraged People of Tampa Adopt Effective Role of Kidnapers. AGITATORS ARE SPIRITED AWAY Their Final Disposition Is Kept a Secret By Members of Vigilante. Uncompromising Proclamation Invoked The strike situation at Tampa, Fl., is one of awe and bewilderment on the part of the citizens. No word has been received from or about the Resistencia leaders who were deported Monday night, and the vigilantes are sworn to secrecy, further than that they admit the men will never return to Tampa. The exact number of the men deported is not yet known, further than that every prominent leader of the union is missing. It is said that other less prominent leaders are marked and that their deportation may take place at any moment. The kidnaping of Monday night had been well planned for days. A great open air meeting had been arranged, to which all the Resistencia leaders had been invited, the purpose being to catch them all in a bunch. They were all present. Music had been provided and the streets were lined with thousands of people. Shortly before the posse of citizens reached the place the news reached the strike leaders and they quickly dispersed. The crowd was not daunted, however, and commenced a man-to-man search through the street and snatched the men from the crowds. They were placed into carriages that had been provided, between heavily armed guards and driven away. The captured leaders were at once driven to the county jail, where they remained on the outside under guard for a few minutes. Then they disappeared from there and have not been seen or heard of since. Various rumors as to their disposition have been circulated about the city, it being most generally reported that they were taken into the gulf in an unknown vessel. All of the deported strike leaders were Spaniards and Cubans. The boldness of the whole affair and the accomplishment of the deportation without bloodshed is one of the remarkable features. It develops that twelve more strikers, who were among the subleaders, were deported Tuesday afternoon and night. Some of the strikers held a number of meetings during the day secretly and conferred with a number of lawyers with a view of taking some action. No one would take the case, all being engaged in the interest of the international union. A proclamation was issued Tuesday afternoon signed "The People of Tampa," which says in part: "To the Anarchists and Professional Labor Agitators: We say that your days in Tampa are at an end. We cannot and will not permit you to destroy this prosperous city. If you have regard for your safety, you will shake its dust from your feet. In conclusion, we notify the manufacturers that this movement of citizens is not in their interest, but in the interest of the entire community." Sends Message to Emperor William On Death of His Mother. President McKinley has sent the following message to Emperor William of Germany on the death of his mother: "State Department, Washington, August 6—His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Wilhelm II, German Emperor, Berlin: I learn with deep sorrow of the death of your majesty's beloved mother, the Dowager Empress and Queen Frederick. Her noble qualities have endeared her memories to the American people, in whose name and in my own I tender to your majesty heartfelt condolences. "WILLIAM McKINLEY."

STRIKE ORDER GIVEN CALL INCLUDES ALL UNION MEN Action Finally Sounds to the Heats of 1 ^abor the Tocain of Bitter War—Full Text of A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: The die is cast. The battle of the giants is on in earnest, whether to ignomious defeat of one side or the other, or compromise remains to be seen. Up to Tuesday evening it has been merely a skirmish, each side trying to find the vulnerable spot in each other's armor. Now the status is different, brought about by the actual issuance of President Shaffer's lonk-talked-of general strike order. This order was promulgated Tuesday evening to take effect after the last turn of the mills on August 10. What the result will be no man can foretell, but judging by the expressed determination of both parties to the controversy, the battle will be waged fast and furiously. Much money will be lost, thousands upon thousands of men will be idle, great suffering is looked for, even bloodshed and death are possible and feared. The strike call includes practically all Amalgamated men in the United States Steel Corporation's employ not now on strike. It was issued from the Amalgamated association headquarters and malled to all Amalgamated lodge officials who are expected to call their men into the strike. The Strike Order. The text of the call is as follows: Brethren: The officials of the United States Steel trust have refused to recognize as union men those who are now striving for the right to organize. The executive board has authorized me to issue a call upon all Amalgamated and other union men in name and heart to join in the movement to fight for labor's rights. We must fight or give up forever our personal liberties. You will be told that you have signed contracts, but you never agreed to surrender those contracts to the United States Steel Corporation. its officers think you were sold to them just as mills were, contracts and all. Remember, before you agreed to any contract you took an obligation to the Amalgamated association. It now calls you to help in this hour of need. Unless the trouble is settled on or before Saturday, August 10, 1901, the mills will close when the last turn is made on that day. Brethren, this is the call to preserve our organization. We trust you and need you. Come and help us and may right come to a just cause. Fraternally yours, The order given above is expected to swell the number of idle men to over 100,000 men at the end of the week. President Shaffer was asked if the call was intended to go to the union men in the Carnegie Steel Company. He said he could answer no questions on that score. The Amalgamated association has lodges in the upper and lower union mills of the Carnegie Steel Company and a foothold in the Homestead. Duquesne and Braddock mills, the great bulwark of non-unionism. In conformity to statements that have been made by President Shaffer before, these men will be expected to join the strike, as will all Amalgamated men and sympathizers in all plants of the United States Steel Corporation. GERMANY HAVING TROUBLE. Threatening Financial and Industrial Crisis Faces Kaiser's Subjects. Tuesday's dispatches from various parts of Germany show that the financial and industrial crisis is spreading. The Rheinische Immobilien Aktienbank of Cologne has been declared insolvent, and the callco mill of Ehrenberg and Richter, in Ellenburg, has suspended. PACKING HOUSE DESTROYED. Fire In Dallas, Texas, Causes Financial Loss of $60,000. The plant of the Max Hahn Packing Company, at Dallas, Texas, burned Sunday night. It was a total loss, amounting to about $60,000, and covered with insurance of about $20,000. All the cooling rooms were filled to their capacity with dressed meats, all stock on hand having been slaughtered Saturday afternoon. Nolan Brothers, wholesale butchers, had the use of one of the cooling rooms, which was packed full of meat at the time of the fire, all of which was lost. DEATH CLAIMS GERMAN EMPRESS The Mother of Emperor William and Sister of King Edward Died Suddenly at Cronberg. The Dowager Empress Frederick, of Germany, died at 6:15 p.m. Monday at Cronberg. Her demise was somewhat sudden. At 4 o'clock her physicians reported no change in her condition. Emperor William and her majesty's other children and the Empress Augusta Victoria were in the sick room most of the day. They were all around the bedside when the dowager empress passed away, quietly. The flag on the castle was immediately half masted. Two hours later Emperor William conducted the members of the dogawer empress' household into the death chamber and led them, one by one, past the bedside to take a last farewell of their mistress. It is said the cause of death was dropsy accompanying the cancer. The remarkable vitality of the dowager empress astonished her physicians. She retained consciousness to the end. A premature statement that the dowager empress was dead was given out officially at Hamburg castle shortly after noon. Count Marshal Haupt, who gave out the inaccurate announcement, has been summoned to Cronberg. The false news was telegraphed widely, and many German cities displayed signs of mourning. The dowager empress knew her days were few. She said farewell to most of her servants. It is understood that she had arranged for the future of nearly every ones of them. She had expressed a desire that not much should be known by the public concerning her disease, lest some should be saddened by the knowledge of her sufferings. There was much reluctance in summoning King Edward, as it was not desired that he should have a long wait. Suffered Without Complaint. The Berlin papers assert that the dowager empress long ago adopted her husband's motto, "Learn to suffer without complaining." She recently ordered that the public should be excluded from the grounds of Friedrich, saying: "The world shall not learn what I am suffering; I will not be pitied in my misfortune." The announcement of the death of Dowager Empress Frederick was published too late for comment in the evening papers, with the exception of The Freissinnige Zeitung, which recalls her heroic bearing during her husband's last days, "when she silently endured the heartless allusions of the chauvinistic German press." This journal also praises her "dignified self effacement" since the death of Frederick the Noble. The news of the death of the Dowager Empress spread slowly in London. The Associated Press gave Buckingham palace, Marlborough house and the Mansion house the first information that her majesty was passing away, as all members of the royal family and many of the officials were out of town for the holidays. President McKinley Informed. A dispatch was received at the state department at a late hour Monday night from Ambassador White announcing the death of the dowager empress of Germany. The dispatch was sent to the president at Canton. A FILIPINO PROCLAMATION. Aguinaldo's Successor Urges His Followers to Continue Active Campaign. A Manila special says: Miguel Malvar, who has been recognized as the successor of Aguinaldo by the Filipino junta at Hong Kong, has issued a proclamation dated July 16th, copies of which were received Monday morning, giving assurances to the natives of the continuation of an active campaign and expressing hope for its successful issue. The proclamation, of which 50,000 copies have been printed, purports to emanate from Batanga. It is a characteristic insurgent document, charging the Americans with all sorts of atrocities. Four special new county projects are now pending in the Alabama constitutional convention. Commons to Vote Millions: to Assist People in South Africa. A London special says: The house of commons Tuesday night discussed a vote of 6,500,000 pounds as a grant in aid of the Transvaal and Orange river colonies. Several members severely criticised the government's measures. Mr. Chamberlain, replying, said he quite agreed that the government's first duty was to the loyalist, refugees, and he declared that money would not be spared for that purpose. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. Girl Phone 574. ALL of these grand-father clauses give incentive to the Negro. ONE of the biggest strikes ever ordered will go in effect to-day. The strike of the steel men has shown that there are many capable colored men. Every business that is being conducted by a Negro, matters not how small it may be, should be encouraged and helped to grow. In Alabama sun go agents attempted to induce colored workmen to seek work elsewhere. The shot gun method was used on the agents. This shows whether the Negro is needed in the south or not. THE following speaks for itself, and goes a far way to prove whether the Negroes are a burden: Encouraging Responses. Our subscribers know that we never dun them like other papers, for that reason whenever we send them an appeal, they always respond promptly. This was proven this week. We sent to many of our subscribers a circular asking for a certain amount. The response was greater than our expectation, many of them paying much more than we requested. Some who did not have the means on hand called or wrote us that they would settle in full by the first of the month. This is indeed encouraging and cause us to feel that our subscribers appreciate what we are doing and are desirous of seeing THE TRUTHNES prosper We take this method of saying to our patrons that we are planning for great improvements on THE TRIBUNE within the next few months, and this hearty response to the circulars sent out will aid us materially in this direction. Negro Not a Burden The last report of the United States Bureau of Education(1888-90) estimates that the sixteen former slave States have spent $540,860,246, for public schools since the war. It assumes that Negroes have received and are consequently the South has spent. Negro Schools $101,800,661. Much praise has rightly given the South for this expenditure, but in the distribution of praise the Negro has received almost no share, it being tacitly assumed that his contribution to this hundred millions was insignificant. The sixth annual Negro Conference held at Atlanta University, took up the question of the Negro common school this year, and among other things studied the matter of Negro contributions to their own schooling. The conclusions of the public is entitled to a statement of its main of reasoning and the results arrived at. The starting point of the main discussion was a very interesting paper presented by Rev. L. B. Maxwell a field secretary of the International Sunday School School, Mr. Maxwell showed that the Negro schools in the Negro schools paid the following direct school taxes : Direct State property tax for schools.....$26,347.43 Negro poll tax actually paid in.....$88,903.00 Direct Negro taxes for schools.....$115,580.43 The poll tax in Georgia goes to the school fund. Negro Georgia State school fund consists of various indirect taxes; in addition to the above; the income from convicts from certain liquor licenses, from a rental of a railway owned by the State and built largely by slave labor, from taxes on circuses and certain fees for inspection. Mr. Kernow showed that the method of apportioning indirect taxes to population. He therefore claim 45 per cent of indirect tax, of $176,898.21 as the Negro's share making the Negro direct and indirect contribution to the school fund $292,248.67. The expenditures Negro schools, including a pro rata share of superintendence, was about $288,128. The conference turned from Georgia to other States. Here it was for the most part difficult to extract from the school reports the contributions from Negroes and the expenditures for the Negroes schools. In Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, and the Negro poll taxes were estimated. Mississippi and Louisiana it was especially difficult to estimate expenditures. Nevertheless making what I consider liberal allowances, the balance sheet for the four States mentioned, and the States of Georgia is as follows Negro direct taxes $31,585.59 Negro indirect taxes $25,204.69 Negro indirect taxes Total $1,241,790.24 Cost of Negro schools $1,243,925.63 The indirect taxes includes the Negro's pro rats share according to population of school funds based on National land grants taxes on railroad income from criminality fees, licenses, etc. There are, of course, many elements of uncertainty here, which can be corrected only by more careful and clearer State reports. I am satisfied, however, that the one debatable question of procedure is the importment of the income from direct taxes. From this point the conference proceeded to estimate roughly the total contribution of Negroes to the schools since the war. It was frankly admitted that such an estimate must be based largely upon an estimate of the number and conditions rather than on exact statistics. Still, even the figures referred to, of the Bureau of Education, are similarly derived. In the five States mentioned the Negroes pay over 25 per cent of the cost of these schools in direct taxes. This is also true in North Carolina where the Negro schools have hitherto received fairer treatment than in other states where the Negro schools are probably best off, the bulk of the income is from the land fund; to which the Negro has without a doubt a pro rata right. Moreover, as the expenditure for Negro children has in creased from 49 cents per capita to $2.77 per child, the proportion is somewhat similar to the proportion $5,500,000 to $15,000,000 in Georgia the conference assumed that from 1870 to 1898 the Negroes paid $29,539,591 in direct school tax. Not is this a large estimate when one remembers that in one private school alone, Atlanta University, black students have in their schools $100 million of million dollars in tuition. When we remember that, in the early days right after the war before the close of the Freedmen's Bureau the Negroes had given $750,000 toward their education, (Cf. Reports of Freedmen's Bureau, especially that of the Negroes, in the city of taxes for public schools seems below rather than above the truth. Of the total five hundred and fifty millions spent in public education] in the South since the war, at least two hundred millions came from land funds and indirect taxation It is difficult to see how less than fifty millions of this could by any process of reasoning be apportioned to the Negro. On the other hand, a share, according to population, would give the Negro five hundred and fifty millions; if this be granted, we have Negro's contribution to Negro schools, 30 years.....$101,539,591 Cost Negro schools, 30 years.....$101,502,661 I remind my reader, again, the preliminary statement of the results of the conference, that less than fifty millions, less than it, is an estimate worth attention, and we believe it to be approximately true. If it be true, then the conclusion is not that the South has not worked heroically in many directions since the war to undo the work of slavery, but rather that the true burden of the Southern people is not Negro or African American and inefficacy; that a dollar spent for schoolhouse is worth two spent for jails. People in this land continually forget that not one Negro child in three is today attending school and not one in ten is getting an eight months' training during the year. The white South is strumming it up with the Negro. Negro is doing all he can to educate himself. The efforts of both are not adequate to the task. There is but one remedy: Government aid to Southern education. Negro Progress. I have had the privilege, in the last few days, of visiting the farms of a number of the farmers in Houston and Pulaski Counties, and enroute to that locality, I carefully watched those of adjoining counties. The outlook seems to me, very bright and the farmers are in high spirit. In the section I visited, the colored farmers are vastly in the majority and the condition of their crops speaks strongly in favor of the correctness of their methods, of their energy and zeal. The lands worked are largely owned by them and they work their own stock. This being the case, all other things favorable, I cannot see but that their satisfaction, after harvest will be replete with prosperity and plenty. Our Geo. F. Thomas may well and correctly be classed among the successful farmers of this section having successfully worked himself to the top of the ladder. His stock and the general appearance of everything around him was near the highest point, Mr. Geo. J., and the ever madam, exhausted every effort to make my stay a pleasant one. Among others who have succeeded as farmers whose barns still bulge out with plenty and whose notes are worth any amount of money they might see fit to indicate thereon, are the following: Messrs, B. Maloy, P. Thompson, R. Clarke, R. W. Ecker, Tom Ecker, R. W. Ecker, Plumm et all of the o-gentlemen own their own farms ranging from one hundred to three thousand acres. It is good to visit such sections of the Old Empire State. A hearty welcome awaits one, a welcome which comes from a knowledge of the fact that no debt will have to be made to give one or more strangers a great big time. But the very same thing happens the door seems anxious to add their little mite to the welcome of strangers and friends. And recklessly are they sacrificed! It was good to be there—E. W. Sherman.

It is now an assured fact that Charleston will have one fountain at least consisting of about sixty members. The Rev. Anderson came to our city under instructions from head-quarters at Richmond, upon request of the law firm of Hayne & Twine of this city. The work on the buildings of the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition is progressing commendably. Many persons, two months ago claimed that the Exposition would not be ready to open by December 1st, the date set by the directors; now these same persons are admitting the rashness of their former judgments. As building after building goes up and the work of the landscape gardener becomes more apparent the most skeptical are inclined to keep silent. As a matter of fact the Charleston Exposition company has never wavered or faltered in its determination to make the Exposition a success, and to have it open in December according to the original plan. There are to be eleven principal Exposition buildings and state buildings representing all the Southern States and some of the northern and western states. The Negro Building, a cut of which appears with this article, is to contain 15,000 square feet of floor spaces. It is of the Spanish Renaissance style of architecture and has one of the most beautiful locations on the Exposition Grounds. There has been no attempt to "chock" us off to one corner, and every visitor to the Exposition, will, we are sure, make it convenient to drop in and see what the colored people have on exhibition to show the rapid progress they are making. The Secretary of the Negro Department feels elated at the success which has apparently attended his efforts to secure exhibits. He feels sure that the Negro exhibit will be one of the most attractive at the Exposition. The American Negro Exhibit which went to Paris is to be on exhibition in the Negro Building here. The Apollo Social Club, one of the oldest social organizations in the city, gave a picnic last Wednesday and those who attended report an enjoyable time. There are swell social and literary clubs in Charleston and they are constantly giving something to make life worth living these hot sultry days. The Charleston Bakers are still on a strike and there does not seem much likelihood of settling the matter. The Bakers Union ordered the strike because its members were working too many hours for the wages received—at least that was the claim made to the public. Especially were they dissatisfied with night work. There are more than a hundred men belonging to the Union. We Charlestonians are looking on with interest and hoping that the matter may be adjusted soon, for even though we eat lots of rice we like bread occasionally and we like it fresh. Local Brevities. Mrs. M. Hall has been on the sick list this week. Mr. W. H. Heard is out again after several weeks illness. Mr. Adam Herb was confined at home sick during last week. He is reported better. Mrs. M. M. Sharpe of St. Augustine, Fla., is in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Carr on Jefferson street. Mrs. Sharpe is on her way to the Pan-American exposition. Mrs. Janie Grant of Rincon Ga., is spending the week in our city, the guest of Mrs. L. A. Robinson. On Thursday Mrs. Robinson brought her in to visit THE TRIBUNE. Mrs. Carrie L. White leaves tomorrow for Charleston, where she will spend a week, then to Wilmington, N. C., where she will spend some time with friends. She will also stop at Florence, S.

She returned home on Sunday accompanied by Miss Ella Fisher, sister of Mrs. Heard, and Miss Ella Channel who are spending the week They will return home to-morrow. The anniversary of the Broads Aid and Social Club will be celebrated by an afternoon excursion to Daufuskie on Wednesday next. In the morning they will have a street parade. A very pleasant time is promised all who go with them. The Broads always make it pleasant for their guests and this occasion will be no exception to the general rule. MASONIC COLUMN. Bro. G. M. Moon has sent his three dollars for the home. He is a loyal mason. St. John Lodge at Americus has forwarded $35.00 for the home. Good for St. John and its loyal members.

The meeting will be a large one indeed. Bro. J. W. Woolbright informs us that he has forwarded six dollars for the home. Bro Woolbright has not forgotten THE TRIBUNE either. The Grand Secretary has issued the call for the meeting of the Grand Lodge and has sent out blanks to every lodge for returns. If any lodge fails to receive a blank inform the Grand Secretary. Bros. F. D. James and S. Dixon informed us that on Sunday, July 28, Brother S. Freeman, a member of Mystic Tie Lodge 39, was shot near Mobley, Ga, at the A.M.E. church at the old camp ground. Bro. Freeman was made a master mason August 17, 1901, and has been true to his lodge ever since. He was with them on Friday before he was killed. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss. His funeral took place on Monday afternoon. It was directly in charge of the masons. Rev. G. B Davis conducted the services. His funeral was largely attended by the members of Mystic Tie and Temple Stair lodges. The two men who killed him have not been arrested. GRAND LODGC-CALL August 15th, 1901.

C. Jonson, Ist. Lient. and Adjutant A Remarkable Funeral. Mrs. Louisa Garretgdied on Mon. nay night last and was buried on Wednesday morning. Mrs. Garret was among our old and well thought of citizens. She was a member of the Presbyterian church. The ser- vices were conducted over her re- mains by the Itev. Mr. Nisbet of the Second ‘Presbyterian church, and the music was rendered by the choir of said church. Mrs. Garret was about sixty-two years of age. Ter husband died about a year ago. The entire services over the re- mains were conducted by her white friends and the scene was a pathetic one, an] proves jhat Savannah can hoast of the best white citizens that can be found anywhere, ‘he morn- ing of the funeral was a rainy one, but deepite this fact these white Christians gathered at the humble home of the deceased and paid their last tribute of respect. One of the most striking scenes was when the gentlemen who were the pall bearers gave up their carriages to the color- ed friends of the deceased and walk- ed in the rain and mud to the ceme- tery. This actof kindness and re- spect tendered by our white friends will pever be forgotten by us.

As Expounded by the Man In the Linen Suit "In the summer I make it a rule never—yes, never—to talk about hot weather, and to think about it as little as possible," said the man in the linen suit, "and I find I am able to keep comparatively cool, and I certainly get more enjoyment out of the long months of summer than do my neighbors. I never greet, my friend with the query, 'Is it warm enough for you?' and when they put the question to me I treat it as a joke, change the subject and think of something else. I never look at a thermometer on the street or anywhere else, and I never permit one in my office. I hold that thinking about the weather makes a man hotter, or he thinks he is hotter, and, after all, imagination cuts a big figure in standing any weather that might be sent along. If a man meets a thermometer staring him in the face at every street corner and in every store or office into which he goes, and finds one thermometer records 98 degrees, another 97, and a third 97 1-2, he naturally wonders which is right, and keeps his eyes out for another thermometer, to compare its readings with the others. First thing you know the man gets the thermometer and the hot weather habit. He looks at the thermometer to learn how warm it is, and no matter how comfortable he may feel he gets hot and uncomfortable when he sees a high temperature record, and he gets hotter, or thinks he does, which is the same in the end, every time he sees the mercury rise in the glass. "On the other hand; the man who keeps quiet and does not think about the weather is never worried about the weather."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Chinese Mourning If a son, on receiving information of the death of his father or mother, or a wife, suppress such intelligence, and omits to go into lawful mourning for the deceased, such neglect shall be punished with sixty blows and one year's banishment. If a son or wife enters into mourning in a lawful manner, but, previous to the expiration of the term, discards the mourning habit, and, forgetful of the loss sustained, plays upon musical instruments and participates in festivities, the punishment shall amount for such offence to eighty blows. Whoever, on receiving information of the death of any other relative in the first degree than the above mentioned, suppresses the notice of it, and omits to mourn, shall be punished with eighty blows; if, previous to the expiration of the legal period of mourning for such relative, any person casts away the mourning habit and resumes his wonted amusements, he shall be punished with sixty blows. When any officer or other person in the employ of the government has received intelligence if the death of his father or mother, in consequence of which intelligence he is bound to retire from the office during the period of mourning, if, in order to avoid such retirement, he falsely represents the deceased to have been his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt or cousin, he shall suffer punishment of one hundred blows, be deposed from office and be rendered incapable of again entering into the public service--American Law Review.

Second Effort at Truce Between Workers and Trust Fails. WILL NOW FIGHT TO A FINISH Every Union Man In the Employ of Big Corporation Will Be Or- dered to Join In the Pros- Another effort to perfect a permanent truce between the great army of steel workers and the giant corporation which employs it has failed, and leaves the conflicting sides as sharply and widely divided as ever. The leaders on either side met in New York again Saturday morning and, after a day of fruitless conferences and discussion, parted in a spirit that showed no tinge of conciliation. Neither side would surrender a position or concede a point in the dispute in which they are involved. The first conference of the day was between President Shaffer and twelve of his associates on the executive board of the Amalgamated association and a group of officials of the United States Steel Corporation, headed by J. Plerpont Morgan and President Charles M. Schwab. At the end of an hour the conference parted, having failed to reach an agreement. The second conference was participated in only by two officials of the Amalgamated association. Will Fight to a Finish. "It will be a fight to the finish. No quarter will be given. We are prepared to spend all the money and time necessary to wipe out the Amalgamated association in all of our mills." This was the message that came over the wires from New York to officials of the United States Steel Corporation at Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon. Officials were waiting long after the usual Saturday afternoon closing time to get word from the conference in New York between the executive board of the Amalgamated association and the general officers of the big trust. Two messages came. The first stated that the conference had adjourned between the workers and Mr. Morgan after receiving his ultimate decision in the matters in dispute. An hour before this time a second message came to Pittsburg, announcing to the steel officials there that the executive board had decided that they would not accept Mr. Morgan's terms. All Will Be Called Out. "Within a week every union man and every union man at heart in the employ of the United States Steel Corporation will be asked to join in the strike now being waged by the Amalgamated association. We must settle whether unionism is to stand or fall. "There will be no more conferences with the United States Steel Corporation unless the meeting is asked for by the officials of the corporation. The Amalgamated association will not request a peace meeting! These and several other significant statements were made by President Shaffer upon his return from the fruitless conference. It is now a fight to a finish between the billion-dollar steel trust and organized labor. Mr. Shaffer says that he is ready to employ every peacable means within the power of man to win a victory. 'No quarter is to be given and none will be asked. The entire management of the battle has been placed in the hands of President Shaffer. He has absolute power to call quit every man who is connected with the progress of the fight to date. He finds that none of his battle lines have been broken. Promise is made by Mr. Shaffer that the trust will find the Amalgamated association is strong in many of its mills. It is considered probable by all interested that the strike ordered will become general, calling out the union men in the National Steel Company, the Federal Steel Company and the National Tube Company. There is scarcely one of the 400,000 employees of the United States Steel Corporation but what may feel the strike. It may be that the American Federation of Labor will call out its thousands who handle products of the United States Steel Corporation; the structural steel workers may refuse to handle steel from the mills of the trust; the miners may refuse to dig coal for trust mills; the railway organizations may be drawn into the contest, although that is not probable.

TWO DIE IN WRECK. Trains on New York Central Crash Together With Dizastrous Result. A Pan-American special heavily loaded and a regular train collided a few miles east of Lockport, N. Y., about o'clock Sunday morning on the New York Central. Thomas Hyland, an engineer, and George Webb, trainman, were killed, and a fireman was seriously injured. A confusion of orders caused the accident. Colonial Secretary, Chamberlain; Says Policy of Total Extermination Will Now Prevail. London advises state that a discussion arose in the house of commons Friday night over the colonial office appropriation and it gave the opponents of the government ample opportunity to roast Mr. Chamberlain while making a motion pro forma to reduce by 100 pounds the appropriation out of which the colonial secretary's salary will be paid. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the liberal leader, said that in view of the patience with which the nation had for twenty-one months endured Mr. Chamberlain's policy in South Africa, he thought it opportune to secure a statement from the colonial secretary as to the war situation. He went on to point out that Cape Colony was now invaded and overrun with Boers, and he asked what prospect there was of repelling the invaders, what the condition of Cape Colony would be, after the war, what was the prospect of famine as a result of the government's "policy of devastation" and where was Cape Colony's constitution, which appeared to him under lock and key since the declaration of martial law. Mr. Chamberlain replied that farm burning had been entirely abandoned and replaced by the policy of concentration camps. He contended that these were humane and satisfactory institutions, as had been shown by the fact that thousands of Boers came into them voluntarily. "The government has the best reasons to believe," continued the colonial secretary, "that a vast majority of the Boers acknowledge themselves beaten and would gladly surrender and resume peaceful pursuits but for the comparative handful of irreconcilables, who are carrying on a guerrilla war that is rapidly degenerating into brigandage and absolute murder. Lord Kitchener is adequately dealing with the problem by establishing block house cordons, within which the peacefully inclined can safely settle and be protected. "There seems to be an opinion that we have come to some sort of agreement with the Bocrs," said Mr. Chamberlain in another portion of his speech, "that natives are not to be employed in this war, but there is no such agreement. "Incursions into protected districts must be more severely dealt with if there is to be 'sniping' of soldiers from behind hedges, and even of women." "Rubbish," cried an Irish member. Robbist, cried an Irish member. Mr. Chamberlain retorted that he had met some ladies who had been assaulted in this way. "If things have changed from bad to worse in Cape Colony," he continued, "it is because the Cape rebels have found rebellion a cheap, interesting and even amusing performance. Then there has been mistaken leniency, and this was the policy in the past. "Botha, DeWet and Schald-Berger do not say that the war was caused by the raid. 'They say they are fighting for their independence. "It is nonsense, to speak of offering terms to men who say it must be a fight to the finish. This is now the policy of the government." John Redmond said Mr. Chamberlain's speech was "a candid if somewhat brutal, exposition of the government's policy," and he prayed to God that the resistance of the Boers might be strengthened. The debate was continued for another hour, after Mr. Chamberlain's speech, and the amendment to reduce the salary of the colonial secretary was rejected. THE WORLD WILL SHUDDER. Intervention Expected When Horror of British Pens Are Better Known. The Figaro (Paris) publishes a long interview with Mr. Kruger. After denying the cruelties charged against the Boers in Lord Kitchener's report, Mr. Kruger declared that the atrocities of the concentration camp were twenty times worse than had been stated by correspondents, and that when fully known they would cause the world to shudder with horror and move the nations to intervene. VENEZUELANS VICTORIOUS. After Two Days of Hard Fighting Invaders-Are Routed With Heavy Lps. The Venezuelan government announces that a force of invaders, under General Rangel Barbiras, including 22 battalions of the Colombian army, was repulsed by the government troops and compelled to fall back across the frontier after twenty-eight hours' fighting July 29th and 29th. It is officially asserted that the invaders lost 900 men and the government troops lost 300. BOAT UPSET; FOUR DROWN. Waves From a Passing Steamer Cause Tragedy on Ohio River. Mrs. John T. Hemming, her 14-year-old daughter, Kathleen, and two little grandchildren, aged 4 and 5, were drowned near the Speak landing on the Ohio river Friday night. They were out pleasure riding in a small boat when the steamer Sunshine passed and the waves upset the boat. William Clutter, aged 15, and Thelma Apperson, aged 7, also occupants of the boat, were rescued. The Feather Duster, which "appears to advantage" in Act I, spoke first. "This tendency toward novelizing the drama by dramatizing the novel, I dey," said she. The Soda Siphon, who "brings down the house" in Act II, agreed with her, "It futilizes our most strenuous efforts to uplift the Stage," said he. Both turned to the Slap-Stick who "receives an ovation" in Act III. "The trouble is," he said, "that nowadays the authors do not consult our idiosyncrasies and temperaments in writing their plays, but expect us to merge our splendid identities in their feeble characterizations."
