In diplomatic circles especially the condition existing between these two republics Is viewed with alarm, though their representatives here are without any recent Information that will throw light on the sltua(fin. The withdrawal of the exequaturs is a decided demonstration of unfriendliness to the country they represent and leaves them powerless to transact any business.

McKeesport, Pa., Sept. 2.—Three hundred machinists and employes of the foundry of the National Tube Works, who have been engaged in doing general repair work throughout the plant, were stopped while going to work this morning by the strikers. There was no disorder, but the strikers had gathered about the entrance in such numbers that they had no difficulty in preventing the men from going to work. The National Tube Company had taken advantage of the present suspension to have a lot of repairing done and an unusually large number of men were engaged in this work. The strikers wero aware of this, but made no effort to stop them nntil this morning. Their success makes the tie up all the more complete, as there is now not a- hammer tap heard anywhere about the works. The situation at Dusquene is quiet this morning. An extra force of Coal and Iron police was on duty at the Bessemere Steel Mill this morning The officials of the legations of the countries interested continue hopeful that war may be averted. The Colombians say that the people of 'both republics are opposed to any war and that the present troubles are due to the machinations of individuals with personal ends in view.

The trip from the station to the mill was a most exciting one. The strikers who had gathered at the depot were maddened by the policemen ordering them not to speak to or molest the newcomers in any way, and as soon as the omnibus got fairly started stones, eiudcrs and dirt were hurled at it. A large bowlder crushed in the rear window of the vehicle, and Its occupants became thoroughly, frightened and crouched on the lloor. When the mill was readied, the overwhelming nuinlicr of strikers crowded the two policemen back ami had possession of their prey before assistance could be summoned. The whole affair from station to mill and until quiet had been restored occupied not more than fifteen minuses. " "" ftr %: ' |g • IT PAYS TO BUY AT TIE Native* Added to Commission.

At Moose Factory, a Hudson bay trading post at the mouth of Moose river, the men stationed there reported that a party of Indians who came down from the north last spring told of the finding of the bodies of two white men at a point lD00 miles north of Moose Factory. Tile story of the Indians was Unit the bodies were found in a broken basket, their description of which seemed to indicate a balloon basket, and that the bodies had been buried by Indians. The Indians brought nothing in support of their story, but the men at Moose Factory, Cobb and Shields say, were inclined to believe the tale. Over a large share of the exclusive residence territory the water rushed with terrific force, varying iu depth from one to six feet.

Hundieds of people were Intently watching the two when Belcher and his daughter began to flounder in the water. The crowd thought this was part of the exhibition, and no one made a move to help until Belcher's wife, who was among the spectators, began to scream tliut something must be wrong. Both swimmers sank. Finally a man iu tho crowd rushed Into the water and after diving brought the girl's body to the surface. She was revived, but when her father's body was recovered life was extinct.
