Bluffer of the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Iron and Tin Worker will thia morning laan aa order calling oat all union employes- of th various Bills of the American Steel Hoop company, known as the hoop trust It is estimated that 15,000 men will be object to the call, which, in connec tion with the big atrike of the Ameri can 8heeet Steel company ordered by President 8hafer on Saturday, will af evt M,MO men. President Shaffer said tonight: "The Impression that only the mills of the American Sheet Steel company are af fected by the decision of Saturday te a mistake. The workmen of all mill In the American Steel Hoop company are Interested and will be officially no tified this morning that the scale has not been signed and that they will quit work. The to the well organised mills this notice will be no aurpriaa for the men who hare watched the situation carefully, but what ia known M open mills where union men bare been allowed to work side by side with the non-union is where we hare to move. Union men must walk out of these open mills in the hoop trust The open mills to be notified are one at Hollidaysburg,- Pa., three at Pittsburg and one at Monesaen. The organised mills which will close on our call are the Upper and Lower mills at Youngstown, O.; Pomeroy, O.; 8haron, Pa.; Girard, Pa.; Warren, Pa.; Green ville, Pa. This, I believe, will bring the number of men affected up to 50, 000. It is a matter of regret that the . issue has been forced, but it now looks as thought it will be a fight to the death." Continuing, Mr. Shaffer said: "The Amalgamated association is not un prepared for it We have not had a general strike for many years, and in that time we have not been idle. We nave funds and will use them. Right here I want to correct an impression which has been given out that no ben efits will be paid strikers until two months nave elapsed. The Amalga mated association will begin at once to- take care of its people." Mr. Shaffer concluded his talk by saying:, "I' will say now what I aaM to Mr. Smith, general manager of the steel company in the conference. I said If It is to be a strike we will make It one to be remembered. The officials now dealing with us have but Httl Idea of the extent to which this strike will go, once It Is on." OSmUCTCSAtlAW. Ceastttatteaal Ceaveatlea te Mirm It This Weak. HAVANA. July 1. During the corn lag week the constitutional convention win discuss the electoral law. The project submitted by the commission provides only for the election of con gressmen, governors, state representa tives, mayors and councllmen. Na agreement has been reached as ta whether the president and senator shall be chosen by popular vote. The discussion of the electoral law will probably open up an argument by the conservatives against a federal republic with many provincial officers as entailing heavy expenditures. The conservatives will oppose granting ab solute autonomy to the provinces and municipalities. An effort will be made to change the constitution and to in vest the central government with ap pointive and veto power. Universal suffrage seems to be a popular movement, but the general opinio is that it will be Impossible to got the congress to change th form of voting.

Consul Gtfford, stationed si Basel, nays Bwltserland's trad figures are especially noteworthy aa showing that this diminutve repub lic, about half aa large aa the state of Maine and whiea would be swallowed up in big Texas, la commercially the most highly developed part of the world. Not even Industrious Holland or Belgium, says the consul, can dis play taasionifhiag figure of 1M of foreign commerce for every unit of its population of barely 1,000,000 reached by Switzerland. These remarkable re sults have been attained by a country without seaports, without coal or Iron in fact without any considerable quantity of raw material for the man ufactures it baa to sell. According to Consul Morgan at Aarau, Switserland is slmost wholly dependent on the outside world for its well-being, 30 per cent of its entire im portations consisting of foodstuffs and over 40 per cent being raw material, which is re-exported in the shape of manufactured goods. tSS lAIVCSTSOr CXAIN. Wheat Greater Thaa Xttr, Cera deed 4 Waatbev Satlfaiary. LINCOLN, Neb., July X "I f say positvely that the prospects for big harvests of grain in this state were never better than they are at present The wheat crop will prob ably be the largest in the history of the state. Corn in practically all parts of the state Is in good condi tion, but a trifle late in growth. Ter ritory in the immediate vicinity of Lincoln has been dry recently, but all other sections of the state have had good rain and I was unable to find any corn that had been killed by drouth." This reassuring Information was given by Charles T. Neal, a grain dealer of Lincoln, who bad Just re turned from an extensive trip over the state. He visited nearly all of the grain growing counties and gath ered opinions relative to grain from the best posted men in esch commu nity, besides making personal inves tigations. "In some sections corn has been delayed by lack of moisture, but the damage haa not been extensive," con tinued Mr. Neal. "Just at this time corn doea not need much rain and unless the dry season is protracted and accompanied by hot winds the cereal will get along well without a great deal of moisture." CEEENBS RUSSIA'S rOUCY. Jiuul af Ciim Attacks Daty aa British FareAtee. 8T. PETERSBURG, July 1. Con firming statements already telegraphed to th Associated Press, the Journal of Commerce and Industry, represent ing the Russian ministry of finance, explains Russia's attitude toward the American duty against British paraf fine manufactured from Russian naph tha. The article declares that Secre tary Gage's measure was "manifestly designed as a reprisal," adding that this position is strengthened by the fsct that article 626 had never pre viously been so construed. It ssserts also that Mr. Gage did not mention Roumanian naphtha, which is likewise imported into Great Britain. The contention, therefore. Is that Russia's answer in raising the duties on bicycles and rosin is Justified. Bawerla fraaa Mat Wlaa.

DAYTON, la., June 29. As a result of a bitter neighborhood feud. C. D. Guild and his 19-year-old son Clar ence lie desd. riddled with charges fired from a shotgun. The man who did the fatal shooting is believed to be Oliver Bricker, one of a fau.ily of neighbors to the Guilds. T'ae shooting was committed at 1 o'clock this after noon. Stories or bow the shooting occur red very- Bricker's story is thst be met Guild snd son. Guild pul'ed a re volver and began firing. Bricker was hit three times, on the lip, on the forehead and In the arm. All his wounds arc- slight. The last shot, Bricker claims, waa fired ly the boy, Bricker having knocked a revolver from Guild s band. When Bricker got through the fence be say? that his brother George met him and handed him a shotgun. He fired one barrel at the boy, who held the revolver. The boy fell dead and as the father sprang to pick up ;he revolver Bricker shot and killed him. A different story is told by Charlie Guild, If years old, son of the dead man, who claims he wa an eyewit ness of the shooting. The bey says Oliver Bricker opened fire first with a revolver and that George Bricker did tbe fatal shooting with a shotgun. Both Brlckers were arrested. Oliver Bricker wss placed under $10,000 bonds and George Bricker under $5,000. A Jury impaneled by Coroner Youker went to tbe ground and took evcldence, but has not returned a verdict Brick er openly admits tbe shooting and talks about it freely. "It was bad," be says, "but when a man's got to be has to." Both bodies lay in a ltne only a few bundred yards from Guild's home. Mrs. Guild beard the sbootiig and rushed to tbe spot, only to come upon the bodies of her son and husband. She carefully took off tbe tpron which tbe wore and wrapped it about her esd husband's bead. She was later taken borne In a daxen ontiltion and now Ilea in a serious state from nerv ous shock. Guild wss a well-to-do farmer, 60 years of uge, and leaves a wife and eight children, the oldest 17 yesrs and the youngest a baby in its mother's arms. Both bodies showed wounds in the cbest. Tbe fatal charges were heavy loads of No. shot an l were fired from a twelve-gauge, double-barreled shotgun. The revolver used by Guild was a thirty-eight calibei Smith & Wesson. Four or live chambers are empty. It is believed that the shooting wss caused by a quarrel ibis morning, when George Bricker and Guild had words over a broken fence which let Bricker's cattle in Guild's corn and Bricker claims Guild struck blm with a hammer.

NEW LONDON, Conn., June 23. In a race never excelled on the Thames, Yale's 'varsity crew won tbe great col legiate rowing event of tbe year over the four-mile course today by a scant two lengths. Tbe magnificent contest was wit nessed by thousanda from observation trains, yachts and points of vantage ang the bank. To Yale also fell tbe !.o-.or of tbe victory in tbe fresbmsn race, while Harvard tonight takes con solation in tbe fact that Its vanity four walked away from tbe Yale quar tet handsomely. Tbe two minor races with honor divided served only to whet the appe tites of the spectators. These contests had resulted exactly as tbe experts hsd predicted, and some 20,000 people were impatient for the supreme event of tbe regatta. Tbe big race, was row ed down stream In the cool of tbe even ing, shortly after 7 o'clock. The con ditions were fairly favorable. A wind out of tbe southwest blew diagonally against tbe crews at tbe rate of about six miles an hour. A beautiful ttart, with the two eights rowing stroke for stroke, began a contest thst will never be forgotten by those who witnessed It. Harvard Immediately took tbe lead. Its stal wart oarsmen retained it for a ratio and a half. At tbe two-mile flag Yale bad cut down tbe Harvard advantage and drew ahead, only to lose again be fore tbe half mile had been traveled. For still another half tbe Cambridge boys held on. Tbe excitement waa in tense. Both crews by this time bad dropped to an unusually slow stroke, at times the rate being scarcely thirty. Yale's endurance, however, was up to the standard, and aa tbe two shells approached tbe three-mile-and-a-balf flag the Ells spurted magnificently. Harvard heroically responded, but it was Yale's day. Tbe blues took the lead and not only kept it, but drew away rapidly In tbe last quarter mile until the finish was reached, when Yale tore across tbe line barely two lengths ahead, with Harvard rowing manfully. The victory for Yale li due to the splendid power of Its oarsmen and tha superb generalship of Coxswain Chit tenden. With great foresight be re fused to push his men until tbe su preme moment. This care found his men ready. Harvard had shot Its boit earlier and Yale added another to Its long list of victories. The rsce was a hard one for Harvard to lose; a magnificent one for the win ners. Tbe end found Good ell, tbe bow ear In tbe Harvard shell, in a state of collapse. It was necessary to lift blm out from bis seat into tbe launch. In tbe Yale abell Stroke Cameron, too. was In distress, but he was able to help himself to tbe Ysle launch. The other oarsmen were all strong and in good condition. MORE MONEY fOR CHINA.
