Plerpont Morgan of the I'lilted States Steel corporation to the Amalgamated association that is hold Ing back an early settlement of the strike.

Pittsburg, July 31.—President Shaffer gave out the following statement at noon: "There is nothing new in the situation that I may talk about. T.he executive board held a brief session this morning and will hold another this afternoon, but I cannot give further details." When asked if there was a serious split in the conference over the terms offered by the Morgan syndicate, he smiled and remarked: "I would like to effervesce, but I cannot. There is nothing I can say other than that there will be no conference today at Lincoln hotel, as has been intimated."St. Petersburg, July 31.—The gov eminent has announced that all balloonlsts landing on Russian soil must prove their identity. Otherwfse they will be arrested and their balloons confiscated. The conservative force, headed by President T. J. Shatter, Secretary John Williams, Trustee John Morgan and some of the older and more experienced leaders, is understood to look with favor upon the propositions submitted. On their face, it Is said, they may uot appear to be as complete a vindication for the workers as way hoped for, but the possibilities for extending the iutlu enee of the Amalgamated association through the mills of the corporation are manifold. "One of tlife uiost interesting statements made was that the fumls to make possible a renewal of the revolutionary campaign had been subscribed largely by prominent Masons of this country and Europe, including many rich members of the order in this city. It was declared that the subscribers were act tinted by a desire to punish the clerical party in Colombia for alleged outrages on the Masons of the country. General t'ribe-Urlbe and many of his leading supporters are Masons.

Tiie more radical clement, which i& largely made up of the aggressive and younger men, is understood to be au.v lous to hold out for more fuvorabh terms. The controversy between the members of the board, while culiuly coudueied, it is understood, was not near an agreement when an adjourn luent was taken last night. A hope was expressed by President Shaffer that the members would have time to sleep ovei the serious subject that they have been culled upon to decide and that this morning they will bp In a better mood to consider the matter and act wisely upon it.

ShafTer declined to talk to any one, and the reporters were excluded from the building. The two Carnegie mills reported on strike last night are running full handed this morning. Superintendent Hunter denied that there was any strike among his men. There is nothing in that vicinity to indicate any trouble. However, it is rumored that a foreman, who, it is alleged, was discharged yesterday on account of his vigorous work in the interest of the Amalgamated association, has been reinstated, and the strike has been declared off for the present'.
