Leather  Pittsburg, July 16.—According to President Shaffer, the strike of the •teel workers is progressing in a manner that Is encouraging to himself and the men under him. The tin mills in Indiana are tied up completely. There is on hatad at these places large stocks of unsheared plate, and the managers and foremen of the mills are being pressed into service as shearsmen. The shearsmen are members of the Amalgamated association, and obeyed the strike order, as also did the hot mill men. Early this morning, President Shaffer held a telephone conference with President Powell, of the tin workers' organization, at Elwood, Ind. Powell assured Shaffer that he and his men are in hearty accord and are supporting the Amalgamated association in its struggles Powell said his men wouldn't touch the plates now being sheared by mill man agers, foremen and clerks, and it was possible they would soon go on strike.

The Korean government seiit 200 soldiers to the island, who arrived-there on June 1. The difficulty was found to be so se rlous that re-enforcements were de Sired, and a~*further detaehtacnt wa§ sent a week later. Such progress hag boon made at these conferences to warrant the assertion that the boards of directors of the sev tral Important railroads controlled by the two factions to the Northern Pacific controversy have been agreed upon tentatively. \ PEOPLE'S STORED Fatal Collision In West Virginia. rarkersburg, W.

BASEBALL "How are the Indian pupils hired out, and what is done with their wages?" Government Schools. The local newspnper, the Han Sun Sin Fo. places the blame of the Insnrfrectioii upon Ye Yon* Ik, because of bis having sent one or his men to the Island as an official for the collection of Increased taxes. The French minister, M. de Flancy, Is quoted as saying that a number of Catholic Christians were employed by officials In collecting these taxes, which seemed to have lDeen entirely out of proportion to the ability of the natives to pay, and It Is this employment of the native Christians which brought about the general persecution of their brethren. It Is reported that 150 of the native Christians were kllleTtr-T\vo French and one Japanese war vessel at once repaired to the island. The island, though quite large and occupying a most commanding position, possesses no harbors or places of safe anchorage. This fact probably accounts for Its long immunity from foreign aggression.
