Pittsburg paused the first day of tho strike
In a spirit of calmness. There aro strong tin-dcr-currcnts
of sentiment and sympathy
running through popular feeling, but there
were few surface Indications of thorn. It
was a bright, clear day and the plcasuro
places were filled with holiday crowds.
Thsro itecmcd to bo a general agreement
to throw off tho worry and evils of tho
serious labor conflict for the time being.
The strikers and their leaders kept a
clnso watch on tho strike situation, how
ever. Tho early reports were unfavorable
to them, for they showed the responses to
the general order to go out had not been
ns largo as they had been led to expect.
They seem confident, however, that. more
men would decide to strike today and that
the showing Monday would bo satisfactory
to t li o m. The strikers did not congrcgato
In forco at any point and thero was not a
suggestion of disorder anywhere. The po
lice authorities reported at 6 o'clock that
they had no word of prospective trouble
anywhere.
President ShafTer spent the day quietly
at his homo In this city. He received re
ports from a number of his lieutenants, but
during tho day denied hlmsolf to caller.-).
Ho holds rather strict Ideas as to Sabbath
observance and throughout the strllio has
insisted that ns Ilttlo as possible bo dono
on that day. When an Associated Press
representative called at tho house today ho
was received by Mrs. Shaffer, wlfo of tho
strike leader.
"My husband can see no one today," sho
said. "Ho Is resting and preparing him
self for tho work ahead of him tomorrow
and through tho week. He will bo at tha
Amalgamated association headquarters to
morrow and can bo seen there by anyono
wishing to seo him."
Tho day at McKcesport passed without
nny startling developments. Tho Indica
tions nro thnt tho Demmler plant of tho
American Tlnplato company will start up
soon. Superintendent Pltcock, who had
Just started on a two weeks' vacation, has
been recalled from Virginia and work Is
being pushed rapidly on high board fences
around tho plant. Steam Is being kept up
in tho boilers and nil indications point
to nn early resumption.
Many meetings wero held today by tho
workers, but no results aro made known
except tho nnnouncoment by tho strikers
that many new members wero taken Into
tho organization,
Tho rolling men of tho National Tubo
company have been ordered to report for
work nt S o'clock Monday morning. Tho
Htrlkors mako tho boast that but few will
respond. Tho company offlclnls, howover,
tieera to havo no doubt of thotr success.
Fortify Ximv Cnxtlr IMiiiitn.
At Now Castlo thero aro now r,,700 men
out of work through the strike. Four
thousand of theao quit work when tho
Shonango and dreer tin mills were closed
and 800 moro went out when the steel and
bar mills of tho National Steel company
closed In rrsponso to, President Shaffer's
second call Inst weok. , Tho stopping of the
two lattor plants caused tho local furnaces
to close, as thcro was no placo for their
product when tho 'stool mill Is off. nut
ono furnace, tho Nesbannock, Is now In
operation, tho others having beori blown
out. This Indicates a long strike, as thoy
would simply havo boon cooled down If tho
Intention was to resunio soon.
Tho striking Amalgamated men will hold
nn open air mass meeting Wednesday
afternoon. Tho local situation Is now qulot
nnd It Is not known whether or not nny
attempt will bo mado to opernto tho Now
Castlo plants by nonunion men.
Tho American Tlnplato company this
aftornoon began building high plckot foncos
about tho Shcnango and Greer plants.
Thojo mills were closed down at tho first
strike ordor Issued by President Shaffer.
Tho fenros aro RUftlclcntly high and strong
to resist any attempt mado nt onslaught
nnd their erection now seems nlgnincant.
Howover, Oeneral Manager Uenrgo Oreer
stated today that this has no connection
with tho strike, but that tho company has
Intended for months past to build fences,
Kven with this statement, crowds of
strikers watched from n dlstanco tho work
with scowling faces,
Fiirnncp Mon to OrKnnlio.
A meeting will bo held tomorrow for tho
purposo of organizing tho furnaco men Into

CHICAOO. Aug. 11. There will bo no
strike of the Amalgamated association In
South Chicago. At a meeting of the local
lodges this afternoon, predded over by a
representative of Vice President Davis of
tho Fourth district, It was dfclded by al
most unanimous vote to remain at work
and, If necofsary, to give financial support
to tho striking brothers In other mlllJ. In
ft statement to the public defining tho posi
tion In tho struggle between the associa
tion and the United States Steel corpora
tion, the men claim that In Justice to them
selves ond tho Illinois Steel company they
nro compelled to disregard the order of
President Shaffer, ns they have no griev
ances nnd havo contracts signed that vlll
not expire for another year. Vlco Presi
dent Davis was present nt the meeting, but
took no active part In the proceedings and
left the hall a few minutes before the de
ciding vote was taken.
Miltvniikre Will Not Oticy.
MILWAUKEE. Wis,, Aug. 11. Tho Day
view lodge of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, at
Us meeting today decided by a unanimous
vote not to obey the strike order of Presi
dent T. J. Shafler and In conjequence the
plant of tho Illinois Steel company In this
city will be running ns usual tomorrow.
According to the onicern of the lodge, the
decision was final and a dispatch was Im
mediately sent to Vice President W. C.
Davis of the Fourth district In South Chi
cago, notifying him of the nctlon nnd re
questing that President Shaffer nnd the
executive board In Pittsburg be Imme
diately notified.
The sentiment was overwhelmingly
against tho strike, and the only doubt
In the minds of the men was as to whether
they owed thlr allegiance to tho asso
ciation or to tho company.
Several of the speakers pointed out that
a strike at this time would be of no ad
vantage to tho Amalgamated association
and would do no harm to the United States
Steel corporation, Inasmuch ns tho trust la
propared at short notice to transfer all
tho work of South Chicago, Hnyvlew and
Jollot mills to Its plant nt Duqucsne, which
can bu converted Into n plant for the mak
ing of bnr steel.
Allusion was made to tho friendly rela
tions existing between tho Illinois Steel
company and Its employes nnd strong
emphnsls was laid upon tho wage scale Just
ngreed to by tho company, which provides
for an Incrcaso of 5 per cent In wages, dat
ing back to July 1. It was shown that If
they decided not to go to work tomorrow
tho company would be Justified In with
holding this extra money on the ground
that the provisions of the contract under
which It became duo had been broken. Tho
members of tho Hnyvlew lodge will contrib
ute liberally to the strikers in tho cast.
Whether the lodgo Is in danger of losing Its
charter Is tho only question that Is dis
turbing many of the workers.

were two Swiss regiments nt Palermo, quite
rendy to dlo for the king who paid them
regularly, and their ofllcers told Crlspl
that they meant to stand to their colors.
Crlspl's reply was characteristic. "Loyalty
llko yours morlts Its reward," he said,
"qnd If you will send In a petition for an
tncrenso of pay as soon ns your term of
enlistment expires, my friends at court
will see that It Is granted." Tho Swhs
fell Into the trap; tho petition wns sent
nnd was pigeonholed; no answer came and
the two regiments marched out of Palermo
In anger. Had they remained the red
shirts would hardly have conquered the
city.
Tne redsblrts conquered, however, and
Crlspl was soon so busily engaged In re
organizing a government nt Palermo that
he foil. id it Impossible to ncconip.iny Gari
baldi to the mainland. This work done, ho
wns elected a deputy for Palermo In tho
first Parliament of I'nltrd Italy In 1S61, and
at once began to dtsplny nn eloquence for
which his friends had never given him the
credit. An Independent thinker, he oon
showed thnt he would not slavishly follow
any lr.ider, a'nd the disappointment of some
cherished political hope eventually brought
him to tne front as the leader of tho con-
ctlttittonul opposition. Subsequently, by
Joining his fo-ces with those of Urbsno
Hnttaztl, he cteated a third party, which
Mipported tho Rattazzl ministry of 1SB7.
Tho electors of Cnstelvetrano had made
him their candidate, nnd, though a tra
ditional republican and separatist, he an
nounced his program In the celebrated
formula, The monarchy unites us, the ro
public separates us."
Fortune In the l.nn,
Wealth hnd como to him by this time.
As a lawyer he was In great request, and
he hnd practically made his fortune as
the counsel of the Calubro-Slclllau Rallw.iy
company in the numerous lawsuits grow
ing out of thu concession by Garibaldi,
which the Italian government disavowed,
tils riches Increased Ills political nnd so
cial Importance nnd enabled him, with good
grnce. to refuse the offer of the portfolio
of tho Interior, mnde by Rattazzl In U67.
Other offers be also refused, and nut until
tho advent of tho Depretls-N'lcotoni cabi
net, In 1S76, did he come to the front ns
president of the Chamber of Deputies ami
minister of the Interior. Ho had now
reached tho highest flight be had yet at
tained, and when Victor Emanuel died In
January, 1878, 110 man enjoyed a moro com
manding Inllucncc in Itnly thou ho did.
His enemies and ho hud many were
awnrc of this- and looked nn all sides for
n weapon with which to attack him. The
opposition press had grown tired of hound
ing him on the political side of his life
and his enemies saw that some other
weapon would be necessary to attack him
with. Where wns this weapon to be found''
Crlspl himself furnished It. In January,
1878, hu was married and a few days later
presented his wlfo at court, where she wnu
moat cordially received by Queen Mar
guerite. A royal gala was given In honor
of tho event aud It was scarcely ovor when
n popular paper In Naples published with
out ono lino uf comment a document, which,
before a week had passed, h.id been copied
In overy uewspapcr In Europe. It was
simply nn alleged copy of the mnrrlugu
certlflciitov of tho statesman dated March
4, 1S51, by which It appeared that he hnd
been regularly nnd legitimately married to
n woman of low origin, who wns still liv
ing, nLd on u pension from him, her legal
husband, at Maita. Did Crlsul Hue from his
enemies ns Georges Houlunger fled, or did
he light for his llfo ns Charles Stewart
Par-null fought? He did neither. :i his
first burst of passion ho denounced '.ho
htory ns n base slander nnd defied his
enemies to prove their nssertlons. Then
he returned It ls ofilclal duties ns though
nothing bad happened, and not until Queen
Mnrgunrito let It he known that she would
not appear ct nny reception or ceremony
nt which he wns present, did he resign his
portfolio of minister of tho Interior. He
announced at the snmc time thnt ho would
retire entirely from public life, and for
sovornl weeks all Italy waited to see If
tho governmmt would permit blm to enrry
out his threat. The government' did not
permit him, nnil with his return to power
ended hit ostracism.
Only Clnntl In III" Cureer.
In this nffnlr he was not so nlnmclosE
ns some of I1I3 admirers have mado him
out to bo. When ho received word of t,hn
death of his first wife In Malta, ho felt
free to marry again. This may seem strange
but tho' facLVas that Crlspl, being' a law
yer, know very well thnt his second mnr
ilage wns null nnd void nnd that for all
the Inw was concerned It might never
havo been, He promptly uvalled himself
of his freedom, nnd this tlmo married u
young and beautiful girl of noblo birth.
Tho second Mine. Crlspl was of course
very much put out, nnd talked of having
hlin prosecuted for bigamy, hut Crlspl had
never really been married to more than
two women at n time. At nil events, this
storm blew over, ami tho second Mine.
Crlspl quietly retired on n handsome, al
lowance und was never heard of afterward.
This Incident Is the only cloud on the
great man's personal reputation, and his
friends contend that the lives of few great
men are absolutely hpotlcsB. Much sym
pathy was felt for Mine. Crlspl No. 2. She
accompanied her husband during his Garl
baldlnn campaign; shn shared with him
all Its hardships, and, together with Anita
Garibaldi, she was tho heroine of the hour.
His unfortunate marriage affair is an ugly
blot on his carcor and for soma tlmo It
hold him back from those great honorn
which Iny In his way nt the time. Hut he
finally overrode this one difficulty and
emerged completely trlumphnnt In later
years.
Never Out of IlnrneH".
Hut Cilspl, In splto of tho unpleasant
Bcnndals which were clattered all over tho
world nbout him, nover got out of his har
ness. In 1882 he was nlonc nmong Italian
politicians In urging co-operation with
England. In tho samo year ho promoted
the commemoration of tho Stclllun vespers
as n demonstration ngnlnnt Franco In re
turn for her entry Into Tunis and drew
on hlmsolf tho nttucks of French Journal
ists. Shortly after ho Joined tho lenders
of tho left who wore combating Deprotls'
Trnsformlsmo policy, but In tho election
of 1SS6 ho held aloof- from his collcngues
nnd when the cntastrnphe at Dognll shat
tered Dcpretls' health and his ministry
the former opponent of Trasformlsmo came
to tho veteran premier's nld as homo min
ister and showed himself an adept In tho
political arts, which ho hud denounced nn
Immoral. Tho reversion of the leadership
was assured to him nnd he had not long
to wait for It. Deprotls dlod In 1897 nnd
Crlspl became president of the council and
minister of foreign affairs.
Greater distinction ho could not attain
and ho strove by vigorous and energetic
work to prove to his countrymen that he
wns tho right man In the right plnce. To
mnke Itnly great has been his dronni and
his worst enemies do not deny that, In
splto of abnormal emigration, an unusual
deficit and a largo Incomo tnx, the present
greatness of Itnly Is mainly duo to him.
All Itnllans recognize this truth and when
Emlllano Cnponnll. a half-cracked Nea
politan youth, trlod to HVKnsslnate the pre
mier In September. 18S1), nil classes vied
with each other In congratulating him on
hln escape.
In hlH earlier life the Sicilian despotism
excluding all political activity, Crlspl was
greatly devoted to classical study and ho
kept up his classics with unabated affec
tion, but during n half-century divided be
tween his legal practice tho first In Italy
nnd the cares of tho state ond political
work, ho has left little literary record. A
largo volume of papers, mostly on affairs
of the state, was published In 1890. It
Includes a mnstorly Btudy on tho com
