All known opposition to putting the plan

Western, acting under Instructions from
President Stlckney, ngiecd to become a
party to the arrangement. So far as

Although tho plan has been tried before
and failed, this' time It will be put Into

tinned In Madison Square park today. A
mob of several hundred took the police by
aiu-prlHp nnd began a wbolesalo destruction
of tho chairs nt tho north end of tho park.
Tho attendant In charce was swept from
his feet nnd carried down with his prop
erty. The chairs were scattered over the
pathways aud the police reserves were un
able to quell tho riot for a time. They
charged with drawn clubs and several men
were arrested.
One of the occupants of n pay chair to
day was Terry McQovcrn, tho pugilist, who
called upon one of the attendants to "come
and collect." The attendant, however, did
not accept the Invitation.
1 In the early evening In Madison Square
tho crowd kept growing larger and larger
nnd blocked the path where the pay chairs
were. Tho police were practically unable
to clear a passagewny. Two men snt
down. Ono of the chairmen nttempted to
collect from these men. They only laughed
nt him and another attendant without
further parler, walked to the rear of the
chairs and 4upcd the occupants out. This
precipitated la a squabble and as the cheer
ing crowd encouraged the men to "stand
by their guns," the police Interfered and
tho men and the second' attendant were
marched to tho police station. The at
tendant was not held, but one of the men
was on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Late tonight Park Commissioner Clawson
nnnounced that owing to the storm of op
position that had arisen he would revoke
tho privilege granted to Oscar F. Spate to

NEWPORT, r' t? July 9. None of the
big racing bunts moved out of the harbor
today; it was Intended to take Constitu
tion oul for a inert spin today after a
.caupla of new jlbrf had been fitted, but a
threatening squall tame up from tho west
ami It was decided that (ha boat iiad better
remain at moorings, On Columbia there
was practically nothing to do.
It was rather expected that a little bal
last would bo taken out of Independence
today, but Mr. Adaroi. who Is In charge,
decided to make no chango until after to
morrow's race at least. The managers and
crew of Independence are still undismayed
by the showing tholr boat hae made thus
far and are as full of hope and courage ns
ever. They feel that their craft has had
an unusual run of hard luck In finding all
tho bad spots possible In the two races
In which It has sailed. They know that tho
boat has sailed fast In a good breeze and
they bclldvo that It will yet surprleo those
who havo condemned It as a hopeless can
didate for cup honors. It Is admitted that
It has shown surprising weakness as a
light-weather boat, but Its ndmtrcrs hope
that tomorrow may bring n good clubtop
soll breeze and give It an opportunity to
redeem Itself,
In discussing yesterday's remarkable per
formance of Constitution, Mr. Duncan today
said he thought his boat had all the ad
vantage there wad of better winds nnd did
not believe Constitution could beat Colum
bia by any such margin under ordinary con
ditions. He Is perfectly satisfied with the
qualities of tho new sloop In light weather,
but bo Is still a bit anxious, to oee what It
will do In a good, hard breeze. When asked
It he considered' that yesterday's race set
tled the future of Independence he said:
"Not by any manner of' means. It Is
Impossible to tell what It may do under
better conditions. Give the' boat a chance.
It has not had -a -really good trial' yet and
will surely dobMjtgjv than It has."

An Official
Description.
tho Island owes Its grcut variety and range
of rainfalK The trade winds, blowing from
the north and past, generally, If not con
stantly, make their influence, felt In tem
pering tho heat nnd bringing tho raln
bearlng clouds from tho waters of tho
broad Atlnntle, but they rarely touch this
lovely Island too roughly. It Is true that
hurrlennej sometimes visit them nnd bring
death and devastation ' In their tracks, but
these -occurrences happen on nn average of
onco In r lifetime. Since tho discovery
by Columbus, over 400 years ago, seven
violent hurricanes ars recorded. They
probably visit portions of the continent
almost ns'often, though, tho small area of
this and' other Island make their coni
pnrntlve effect the more disastrous. Dur
ing the last four centuries" at least' earth
quakes havo been practically unknown.
"Tho soil of this Island Is remarkably
productive, and. although portions of It
were under tillage long before tho Pilgrims
waded nshoro at Plymouth, yet It In not
exhausted.
"Parts of It have been changed from
nrablo to pasture land, but this lo largely
from extreme causes, Ilroad plains of fcr
tllo land, like thoho In Iowa and Illinois,
can not reasonably be looked for In an
Island which has nn area only equnl to
four ordinary counties In ono of those
states,. Ilut In this llttlo Island aro almost
countless valleys sniull In area, but tin
rich as the delta of tho Mississippi or the
valley of tho Nile. Tho hills are capable
of cultivation' to their very HummltB, apd
folfeo, tho principal crop of the country,
thrives better on the slopes under the pro
tecting shades of the open forests than in
tho alluvial lands of tho vnlloys. The
mountains to their very crests aro covered
with a rich detritus, forming n soil well
Rdipted to tho growth of tobacco, corn,
potatoes nnd all kinds of tropical fruits,
The alluvial plains along tho margin of
the larger' rivers and on tho sea roast fur
nish tho best of nil soils for tho growth
of sugercane, and It Is raised there In
abundance. With surh a geographical situ
ation and such a soil nnd climate, surely
this Island .has little' to be vainly looked
for by the continental seeking a w'lnter
residence, or an Ideal spot for tho success
ful pursuit of horticulture or agriculture
In Its' m03t pleasing aspect."
SHAFFER'S HOPEFUL VIEW

Steel Cuiupuii).
PITTSI1URO, July 0. A more hopeful
atmosphere pervaded tho headquarters of
both the steel' combine nnd the Amal
gamated association today.
As the result ot a preliminary conference
between Prc6ldevt Shaffer ot the Amal
gamated association and Warner Arms,
representing the eoml'ilne's Interests, last
evening, tho Wellsvllle trouble, which yes
terday threatened to undo all that had
been dona toward offering a peaceable set
tlement of the strike, , was not brought up
todjiy nnd everything pointed to au
amicable adjustment ot all differences at
the general conference arranged for next
Thursday In this city.
.President Shaffer i.ild he coneldored the
questions to be considered at the confer
ence to bo most grave and for that reason
ho thought It wise to call In the general
executive board, composed ot tha higher
officers of the asoclntlon, Instead ot con
sulting with the conferees, who usually
"meet to consider such question. This
board has only bocn called together onco
beforo and that was during the trouble
at the Vood's plant nt McKeesport last
April. It Is composed of President Theodore
J. Shaffer, Vice President F J. Williams ot
Ulrmlngham, Ala.; Vice President Clem
Ja'rvls 'of Anderson, Iud,; Vlco President
Charles S. Davis of Newport, Ky.; Vice
President Walter Larkln of Wheeling, W.
)Va,; Vfce President Johh F. ,Wnrd ot
Youngstown, O.; Vice President John O.
Qulnn ot Grantto City, HI,; Vice President
D. .MRe.es of Pittsburg a,nd,Vlce Presi
dent John Chappcl of Youngstown, O.; Sec
retaries John F. "Williams, M. F. Tlguo
and. M. F. Davis and National Trustees
John Pierce and John H. Morgnn.
. ".Our board," said President Shaffer, "will
meet the. coramltjoo representing tho com
bine at a conference at the Hotel Lincoln
In this. city at. 10 o'clock on Thursday
morning. I am pretty well satisfied that
the troublo will be settled at this meet
ing. Thoro seems to be a spirit of fairness
prevailing among those to whom 1 have
talked officially on the subject and I think
wo will f)x matters up. The meeting will
'bo for the signing of tho scale oMho mills
ns a whole."
In response to tho query as to who would
mnko up tho combine committee, Mr.
Shaffer said that he did not know.
"Do you think President Schwab will be
one?" wan asked.
"1 rfin't know," was his reply.
Among thoso on "the outside who profess
to know, howover, It was said that tho
conference 'would In this case bo govcrnod
for the United States Steel corporation by
general officer and not by nny of the
oporatlng officials-of tho underlying com
panies. Should tbls bo tho caso It will
mark a decided departure In the method of
dealing with labor questions with tho
Amalgamated association. The former
determination of the officers of the United
States Steel corporation to remain out
of such negotiations nnd allow them to be
settled by tho officials of the various
subsidiary companies will havo been en
tirely changed and In placo the general
officers will undertake to settle tho labor
matters for the entire Interests of the
greater corporations.
Joseph nishop, tho first 'president of the
Amalgamated Association, who is secretary
of thoOhlo Stato Board of Arbitration, ar
rived In' Pittsbui'g 'today and wont nt once
to Arnalgamftte'd, headquarters.' When seen
by rt ' representotlvd of the Associated
Press and askfd t tho board Vould Join
in tho efforts to set(lo"thc strike he said:
"I am here to Inquire Into the situation
hnd'lf o'uV b'oatd' can-bo of any assistance
ln 'adjfsttnfr'th dffflcu'l'ty.werwl!! give our
Bei-vlces"'-! don't ex'piWs 'an oplrilbn on the

,".Vhen seen later President' Shaffer said
tho conference on. Thursday must be final,
ns the' masoclatton wlll.'not, wastoany- more
time. He declared that there wmtld bo no
compromlse and nothing short of a complete
surrondct-'-wllfbS accepted.
