present General Frost. Chief Prowltt
Chief Baker. Chief Wheeler, Captain
Russell,“ Captain Bette. Lieutenant

cussloin as to the distance the parade
should go. how for some of the organ-
Izaticns ought to march. specially con-
sidering the old men in the Grand Army
of the Republic. and as to avoiding
streets too steep to move the heavy fire
trucks and engines It was finally vot-
ed unanimously that the parade should

general sentiment was to have at least
three divisions, the military division.
the drsmen’s division, and the civil so-
cieties division, with a separate divi.
sion for allegorical commercial and in-
dustrial floats.
it was the opinion of the committee
that Chief Prowitt should have full
charge of arranging the the flremen’s
division, If he would consent to do so.
General Frost reported that at the re-
quest of the executive committee he
had engaged the Old Guard Band, of
New Haven. to lead the division of civil
organizations.
The matter of the time of the parade
was considered. and It was voted that

PITTSBURG. August 9——The steel
strike situation underwent but little
change over night. The steel corpora-
tion made no attempt during the night
to reopen the Painter mill, and the
strikers claim that they blocked the
plan to start the plant by winning over
the non- -union men, who had agreed to
go to work. The mill officials deny that
there has been any interference with
their plans and say that in due time the
mill will be started up. '
President Shaffer and his byother oili-
cials. of the Amalgamated AesocIatlon.
are still engaged in the effort to secure
the tic—operation of the American Fed-
eration of Labor. They say they are
sure of obtaining it: and that their
complete success is thereby assured.
Neither President Shaffer our President
Compare, nor any of the men engaged
in conference with them, has given any
intimation of their plans, but it to pre-
dicted that they will make the bold
stroke of transferring bodily to the
Amalgamated Association. all members
of the Federation of Labor, who may be
affected by the strike. In the Iron and
steel trades are many men whose labor
has not been sufficiently skilled to ad-
mit them to membership In the Amal-.
gamated Association. The federation
has for some time past been organizing
these men, and It is said that there ex-
ists an agreement between the Amal-
gamated and Federation officials. that,
in the event of trouble. they are to be
transferred to the former.
is the tug Protector -
Secretary Wilkins, of the Amalgam-
ated Association. this morning said
that the meeting at Lawrenceville. last
night. had crippled the Clark mill
again. He “said: ”Our meeting last
night was a great success. for. as a re-
sult of it. there is but one will In opera-
tion at the Clark plant. That Is the
20 Inch mill, and it has been going ev—
er since the strike occurred. if the
Steel lorporatiou had four hundred
men in the Clark mill. we have taken
three hundred of them away from
them. "
The local steel officials give an absc-
luic d5enlnl to the suitement that the
Clark mill is again crippled. 'l‘hey ud-
mlt that one roller was won from them
by the efforts of the strikers last night.
but assert that they had another roll-
er ready to take his place. and that four
of the five mills of the plant are run.
ning again today. They have made no
effort, they say, to start the fifth mill,
but will probably do so next week.
The Farm mill, at the Lindsay & Mc-
Cutcheou works. was In operation to—
day. Yesterday. according to the man-
agers of the mill. It went within seven-
ty per cent. of a full run, and will do
better today. because an earlier start
was made. Manager Jinks says the old
men will be given another chance to
come back. but if they fail to. non-un-
ion workers will be out In their places.
and another mill opened up next week.
Advices from-Hyde Park are to the
effect that every mm In the plant is in
operation. and that the work being
turned out is quite satisfactory.
There will probably be nothing done
at the Painter mill for a few days.
It. Is evident that preparations are
being made to open the Dewees Wood
works, at McKeesport The repairs are
being rushed. and large quantities of
raw material are being brought to the
mills. Negroes are employed on the
repairs. and the strikers are watching
them closely, fearing that there may be
Iron and steel workers among them.
Their presence ls resented by the
strikers, and the company has reinforc-
ed the guards and closed the gates to
all men not engaged by the company.
President Campers and Secretary
Morrison. of the American Federation
of Labor reached the strike headquar-
ters at 10 o'clock. mr. Gcmpers declin-
ed to s y anything about the attitude of
the Fe oration of the possible outcome
of the conference.
President Shaffer reached the head-
quarters at 10: 30 «clock and stated a
few moments. later that his conference
with President Compare was off until
1:30 in the afternoon.

it is a well known fact that the sailor
the water, the longer light substances
will float on It. Last season while
the oyster set was abundant the price

The Cost of Maintenance of Families

Colonies.
LONDON. August 9—~A parliament-
ary paper has been issued containing a
proclamation Issued by Lord Kitchen-
er, August 7, In accordance with In
structions from the imperial govern-
ment. the governments of Cape Colony
and Nuts] concurring. The proclama
ticu says.
“All commandants, field corsets and
leaders of armed bands, being bu'rgh
ers of the late republics and still on
311de In resisting his madesty' s forces
whether In the Orange Colony, the
Transvaal or other portion of his ma)-
csty‘ a south African dominions, and all
members of the governments of the
late Orange Free State and Transvaal
shall. unless they surrender
September 15. be permanently banish-
ed from South Africa. The cost of the
niaintonance of the families of all bur.
ghers in the field who have not sur.
rendered by September 15 shall be re-
coverable from such burgliers and
shall be a charge upon their property
removable or Immovabie. in the two
colonies."
The preliminary correspondence
shows that the proclamation Is based
upon suggestions which the govern
ment of Natal forwarded to Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain July 24. and
that the September 15 was recom-
mended by Lord Milner.
The reasons of the government for
this proclamation are set forth in a
preamble to the proclamation as fol
lows:
"Whereas the late Orange Free
State and South African Republics
have been annexed to his majesty' do-
minione; and.
"Whereas. his malesty’s forces are
and have been for considerable time in
complete possession ‘of the seat of gov
ernment of both of the aforesaid ter
wrltorles with their public offices and
the whole machinery of administrs.
tion. as well as of the principal towns
and the whole of the railways; and.
"Whereas, a great majority of the
burghers of the two lots republics to
the number of 35 000, exclusive of
those who have fallen in the war. are
now either prisoners or have submit
ted to his majesty’s government and
are living peaceably in towns and
camp‘s under control of his majesty
forces:' and,1
“Whereas. the burghers of the late
republics still in arms are not only
few In number but have also lost al-
most all their guns and munitlon of
war and sredevoid of regular military
organization and are therefore uifsble
to carry on regular-warfare or to offer
any organised resistance to his maj-
osty’s ‘forces in any part of the coun-
try: and. '
"Whereas, those burghers who are
still in arms. though unable lo carry
on regular warfare, continue to make
Isolate attacks on small posts and dc-
tachm uts‘ f his majority‘s foresaw
