riTTSPUnO. Pft., Aug. 7. tn the big
Bteol strike honors nro oven In this sec
tion tonight. The Amalgamated nssoela
tlon succeeded In closing down the big
ptcel plnnt nt Newcnstlo nnd the manu
facturers partially broke tho strike at tho
Clark mill In this city. Neither side Is
exulting, nor Is there nny expression of
dlscouragcmont.
Up to this hour not the slightest trouble
lias occurred nt any point In this Imme
diate territory and Amalgamated men aro
correspondingly happy, becnuse this condl
tlon would seem to be the carrying out
of tho association's departure In the
handling of Btrlkcs. Tho quiet waiting "f
the strikers may bo one of tho surprises
hinted at by tho national otllcers. From
ono or two points the strikers are reported
ns restleks and eager for action, but so
far they havo kept faith with their leaders
nnd refrained from committing any breach
of tho peace.
The United States Strol corporation, It
was learned today from an official source,
will at once proceed In n systematic man
ner to start Its closed sheet mills, making
the nonunion plants of tho Klsklmlnctns
"valley the cradlo where strike-breakers
iv 1 1 1 liu trained and then sent out to the
mills that aro closed.
Kui'li I.rmlrr Commit lllniNrlf,
Bo fax as President Schwab Is con
cerned no overtures will bo made to tho
workers. In a talk with a Pittsburg man
In New York yesterday ho said: "Wo
havo mado our last propooltlon to tho
Amalgamated association and will now pro
tieod to start our works."
President Shaffer makes this counter
ntntement: "Tho next proposition must
come from tho United States Steel cor
poration officials. "
Thus the two officials stand. It seems
s If only outsldo efforts can bring thorn
together, Tho trust officials havo decided to
go ahead slowly In the matter of starting
mills And to .do .so with a little, publicity
art possible.
The strongholds of the shcot company nro
the mills at Vandergrlft, the lnrgost In tho
country, Lecchburg, Appolo and Scottdalo.
H hns been decided to toko as many
skilled men away from these places as pos
sible without retarding operations there nnd
fetart the mills where thoro Is tho least
danger of nn outbreak. Tho places loft
vacant at tho mills mentioned will bo filled
with men deservlug of promotion nnd they
VIII bo given hotter positions. TIiIh inovo
Vlll bo undcrtakeu slowly and with caution.
Tho plan further contemplates that after a
tlmo many of the strikers will return when
they ace one nftcr another of tho closed
mills resuming. This plan was tested and
wan found to be feasible so far ns the mills
at Hyilo Park and Wcllsvllle go and It has
been decided to adopt It so far as tho shoot
and hoop mills nro concerned.
Different In Thiplatc .Mill..
Tlana for starting the closed tlnplate
mills havo not been completed. In this
branch the situation Is dlflcrent. The tin
plate company have only six of their 275
roll trains going, whllo tho sheet compauy
havo a few less than half. Tho officials of
tho Amalgamated association say that this
move will In a mcasuro play Into their
hands. At McKeesport President Shaffer
until that ho himself would lead men from
Vandergrlft Into the Wood mill. Tho off
clals feel that If they can gut tho Vnnder
grift men nway from tholr environments
thero llttlo troublo will be found In bring
lng thorn Into tho nscoclatlon. In discussing
the plan of tho trust, Assistant Secretary
J!. F Tlgho said:
, "That effort will not extend vory fnr be
causo mere aro only a few skilled men
nvnllnble and before enough can bo trained
to operate mills snow will fly pretty thick.
A movo of that kind might bo attempted In
bessemer or openbearth steel mills, but in
n sheet mill, whero tho skill required Is on
tho highest order, the plan ennnot but ulti
mately fall. A sort of showing may bo made
lor a time, but It will not last long."
Tho action of the structural workers
in tho present atrlko was outlined by J.
IW. Pryale, secretary of the brldso and
Structural iron workers, who Bald today:
"There are no union mills making struc
tural steel or Iron and our men have been
working tho material furnished them and
will continue doing so. It thero was ono
union mill mnklng the mntcrlal used by us
wo would possibly act differently. I took
this matter up with President Shaffer two
-ears ago, but ho did not seo then of what
benefit an nlllnuco with our ordor would
be to tho mill worers."
Working I'p Another Conference.
Secretary Joseph lllshop of tho Ohio Iloard
fcf Arbitration is In town and is visiting
ecveral of the combine ofllcers In tho In
tcrest of another conference. Ho refused
to discuss his movomcnt, saying he was here
on other affairs.
Tho continuation of tho strike nnd the
1.1 ct that It Is to bo extended to grcnter pro
portions augmented tho scramble that has
pern on in rutsuurg ror two weeks to
eecure shoots and tlnplate. A canvass of
(ho Jobbers developed that tho supply of both
Iheets and tlnplate Is rapidly running be
hind tho demand, especially In tlnplate.
tho American Tluplato company has not
thanged its quotations of $4.25 per box, but
consumers have paid this week as high as
5.C0 for boxes for Immediate delivery. Tho
combine price for sheets Is (60 per ton, but
$70 and $75 have been paid for sheet avail
able at once, The Independent mills ore
reaping a harvest. They are taking con
tracts at prices as high In some cases as
70 a ton for future delivery.
Tho nails department of the American
Bhcet Steel company has gven notice to
Jobbers that it cannot take any orders for
ionio tlmo, as tho capacity of the operating
thect mills has bocn contracted for.

PARIS, Aug. 7. A high oflHcal . 't
French foreign oltlcc today explained to .
correspondent of the Associated Press hero
the nature, of the difficulty at Constanti
nople between tho French ambassador
there, M. Comtans. and tho Turkish gov
ernment. There nro two matters pending
between France nnd Turkey. Tho nffalr
of tho quay company and a number of
claims of Frenchmen against the porte, a
number of which were fixed and payment
promised long ago. M. Conetnns has been
unable to obtain satisfaction In cither
matter nnd In May he Intimated that he
would bo forced to ask for his recall If tho
Ttirklth government persisted in Its pro
crastinating tactics. The French foreign
minister, M. Dclcassc, who returned to
Paris yesterday, went tho same afternoon
to Ramboulltet, dined with Proaldent
I.oubct. spent tho night at RambotillUt,
and, returning to Paris today, he will
seo tho Turkish ambassador today or to
morrow. It Is possible thnt ho may havo
tn renew M. Constnns' Intimation regard
ing his recall, but It Is more likely thnt
tho Incident will not reach that point. In
fact, It is probablo that the matter will be
speedily settled In a manner satisfactory
to France. The members of tho Turkish
embassy here remain silent.
hater in tho day It became known that
tho French government was seriously con
sidering tho question of suspending Turkish
bond quotations on tho Paris bourso as the
beet available means of coercing Turkey.

LINCOLN, Aug. 7. (Special Telegran)
Tho domocratlc and populist state central
committees mot at 2 o'clock today and
after deliberating the major portion of tho
afternoon voted to hold tho stnto nominat
ing conventions In this city simultaneously
on September 17. The dnto was proposed
by the conferenco nnd unanimously ac
cepted by tho committees.
In tho domocratlc meeting W. S. Shoe
maker of Omaha strenuously opposed every
proposition which tended toward n fusion
of tho parties, but was overwhelmingly
downed when a vote was taken on tho
motion to appoint a conference committee.
The trouble started Immediately after tho
meeting began. ' Several members objected
to tho prcsenco of nowspaper reporters
nnd n resolution was passed excluding all
but committeemen nnd others loyal to tho
domocratlc faith. Edgar Howard pleaded
for open doors, but tho others anticipated
tho impending storm and Invited tho re
porters to withdraw.
After tho opening preliminaries a mo
tion was made authorizing Chairman Hall
to appoint a committee to confer with a
like committee from tho populists rolntlvo
to tho time of holding tho conventions.
Mr. Shoemaker Immediately aroso and
began to oppose tho movement. Several
members Interrupted and shouted for rec
ognltlpn from tho chairman.
Shoe niiiUrr SIIcIih to the I.nxt.
"I have the floor nnd propose to keep It
until I have concluded my remarks," ro
Jolned Mr. Shoemaker In tones that were
heard clearly In tho hotel corridors.
Tho speuker's right to tho floor .was
questioned on the ground that ho was not a
member of tho committee. This hrought
forth tho explanation that Mr. Shoemaker
hold tho proxy of Committeeman Charles
Smith of Douglas county nnd ho was al
lowed to proceed without further Interrup
tion. Mr. Shoemaker mado a gcnernl argument
HgnlnBt tho fusion Idea. He said the popu
lists had been actuated purely by Bolflsh
motives and that if tho democrats allowed
a continuation of tho alliance It would
eventually kill tho party. Ho recalled tho
times when tho democratic party worked
Independently nnd said that If tho com
mittee wished to sec this condition re
Btored It should Immediately break nway
from the populist organization.
"In other states," declared Mr. Shoo
maker, "fusion has killed every party that
ever had nnythlng to do with It nnd tho
result will be tho same here In Nebrnska
unless tho domoirau tnko nn Independent
Btand and go Into the fight without tho
nld of nny other party."
At tho conclusion of tho speech foveral
members pleaded for "harmony" nnd sug
gested that, under tho circumstances, tho
only way by which success would bo possl
hlo would be a eomploto fusion. Tho roll
wns called on tho motion and only ono
negative vote was cast thnt ono by Mr.
Shoemaker.
Lincoln IVInn the Convention.
Committeemen from Douglas county and
tho North Platte territory urged tho selec
tion of Omnha as tho place for tho con
ventions, but Lincoln was successful by n
two-thirds vote.
Tho representation at tho democratic
convention will bo ono dnlegato-nt-largo
from each county nnd one delegato for
each 100 votes cast for W. D. Oldham for
attorney genernl. The representation at
the populist convention will be nccordlng
to tho same ratio, but It will bo based on
the voto cast for William A. Poynter for
governor.

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia Aug. 7. (Special
Telegram.) For governor, A. U. Cummins,
Polk.
For lieutenant governor, John Herrlott,
Guthrlo.
For supremo court Judge, S. M. Weaver,
Hardin.
For railroad commissioner, Ed C. Drown,
O'lliien.
For superintendent, R. O. Uarrctt, Mitch
ell. This Is tho ticket given birth by the re
publican Btuto convention here today. The
nomination of Cummins was u foregone con
clusion since the breakup of tho Herrlott
forces, .vhlch culminated this morning In n
relcaso by Herrlott of his own Guthrlo
county delegation. Tho fight wns none tho
less n pretty ono nnd close enough to bo
Interesting to the end. It was along tin
llnoa Indicated In my dispatch last night.
Tho nntl-Cummlns combination managed
to uipturo a majority of tho district cau
cuses to the extent of controlling tho cre
dentials committee ami securing from it a
report seating nntl-Cummlns contestants In
Carroll and Jnckson counties, the committee
standing 6 to 5. When, however, the re
port came up for ratification on tho open
floor the test vote wns precipitated. An
almost breathless Bllenco pervaded whllo
tho roll was called nnd tho strength of op
posing aides wns so placed with referonce to
tho alphabetical order that the outcomo
wns not completely disclosed until tho Inut
counties on tho list were called. Then,
nfter a moment's hesitation, tho convention
realized for the first tlmo tho significance
of the vote; that It meant tho nomlnntlou
of Cummins on tho first ballot and pande
monium was turned loose.
Tho rest went comparatively smooth.
Tho roll ;nll on the vote for govornor
Bhowed only minor variations from tho test
on the report, of tho, credentials committed
and gives a good Iden of how tho forcc3
lined up. Voto for governor:
