PITTSBURG Pa July 22 The Ameri-can Steel Hoop Company did not attemptto resume work in tbe Painter mills on theSouthside this morning but its failureto make tile move expected by the strikers-is not significant The start has wenpostponed but the determination to runthe plant with nonunion men has notbeen abandoned

There was more activity around themill this morning than at any time sincethe strike began and there was evidence-at 7 oclock that the management hadpanned a busy day even if it had givenup for the time the plan of putting theplant into operation In one part of themill a force of bricklayers was at workat that early hour rebuilding a furnacewhich had been torn down during thenight and along the curb of tlie northside of Carson Street sat about twentyfive laborers with their dinner paRs

them These men had evidentlybeen summoned by the management andwere waiting for their orders Steamwas up in the boiler room but the millproper was dark and quiet The strikerswere not In evidence

Pittsburg is waiting anxiously for off-

icial reports from Wellsville and McKeesport as definite statements by the constituent companies of the United StalesSteel Corporation that these plants wouldbe put in operation at once with aidof nonunion men make these towns the

ttlegrounds of the big struggleThe only feature that today divides in-

terest with the doings In McKeesportand Wollsville Is the organization of anAmalgamated Association Lodge in theNational Tube Works McKeesport andthe report that a lodge has also beenformed at the big tinplate mill at Monessen It is said that the employes ofboth of these companies will remain atwork as long as possible piling up a

fund for the Amalgamated Asso-

ciation but will hold themselves in read-iness to strike the moment Mr Shatterconsiders It necessary to give them theorder to do so If as claimed the Ama-ljnn ated Association had succeeded in or-ganizing lodges at these mills and Isstrong enough to close when it de-

sires to do so It has gained unexpectedstrength So far it has been impossibleto obtain a statement from the manufacturers and all the talking has been doneby the strike leaders

WELLSVILLE Ohio July 22 The looked for attempt of the American SheetSteel Company to start its plant here to-

day with nonunion men did not materi-alize and the strikers and th 4r friends areBtHI waiting for developments AU night-long and until this morning a partyof Amalgamated men patrolled the townwitching for the approach of the nonunionists who were expected from Vand rsrift Pickets were thrown out nearthe works but no new men entered the

SECRETARY GAGE EXPLAINS

RennonH for the Order to Refuseftnlinn SiiKnr

Secretary Gage sent to the State Dethis morning his reply to the

recent communica-tion on the subject of the alleged bountyon sugai c to exporters by that Gov-

ernmentSome weeks ago the Treasury Depart-

ment ordered collectors of customs at thevarious ports to refuse liquidation of entry in the possible event of importations-of sugar from Italy until it could be de-

termined what rate of countervailing dutyshould be imposed under the tariff to coyer the bounty said to be offered by theItalian Government to exporters

The Italian Foreign Office promptly sent-a communication to the State Depart

which was transmitted to theTreasury Department denying the exist

a sugar bounty provision in Italyslaw and stating moreover that

Italy had not exported any sugar Theproduction of sugar in that country itwas said is not sufficient to meet the de-mands of home consumption and there-fore none could be spared for export

Secretary in his reply today ex-plains that to customs officersrelative to Italian sugar was merely provisional or tentative in character Theorder was made necessary he explained-by a certain intimation that some Italiansugar would be imported at New Yorkand by the contemporaneous informationthat Italy offered a bounty to sugar ex-porters in that

The hint sugar from Italywould be imported at New York was ob-tained from letters addressed to theTreasury Department by merchants inNew York enquiring whether a bounty-on exports of sugar existed in Italy Thedepartment officials read Insome of them published inences w the allegd Italian bounty Whileadmitting that this character of informa-tion could not be accepted as conclusiveby the department Secretary Gage saysthat there was no recourse under the lawin view the possible importation ofItalian sugar but to refuse liquidationentries until the matter could be officiallyinvestigated He is now awaiting the arrival of a fun copy of the Italian law andthe order to collectors of customs relat-ing to Italian sugar will have to stand un-til this copy is received and examined bythe experts of the Treasury DepartmentIt is understood at the department thatalthough Italys sugar production In re-cent years has been too to allowany exportation there is thatthis year a considerable amount will bemarketed outside the

Where the Crime C mThe FamilyN Vinit to the Vault

PITTSFIELD Mass July 22 More ofthe evidence of John Nicholson chief ofpolice against Robert S Fosburgh on

trial under an indictment which chargeshim with killing his sister nearly a yearago was presented today The trial wasresumed at 919 oclock this morning before Judge William B Stevens of theSuperior Court anti it was the opinion ofthose who had followed the case withmore or less attentin that the adjourn-ment from Friday should have nabledthe prosecution to prepare for more rapidprogress so that the hearing should beended this week

Whether or not alt that Pittsfields po-

lice chief knows is to be set forth on thedirect examination of the Commo-nwealths witnesses Is a matter for conjec-ture It has been guessed that the Com-

monwealth had expected to develop manymaterial facts by crossexamination tooso that no one here was willing to say to-

day that the trial was certain to end bySaturday especially since the de-

fendants not been outlined andno Indications had been afforded of thelength of time it would take to present itThe defence is also long on crossexamination Tt nobody ifthe trial should be prolonged into thethird

Of overnight for gossip arid conversation regttrdfog the case therewas little thatA5vaE news todayThe visit o tha family yester-day to the vaulnMwhere the casketIn which May Foebwghs body was placedUrs until the trialVte finished and thefamily can move wnjr as it expects todo was one of the things talked aboutThere was nothing unusual in the pil-

grimage it was made in accordance withwhat has become a weekly custom Freshfrom the performance of this sad dutythe family came into court today

Not a little was added by way ofand curiosity today when it became

generally known that a third of the defences witnesses had been summoned bythe prosecution He is James W Lundbookkeeper for the Fosburghs He livedacross the street from them at the timeof the shooting and was the first

the house afterward He has beenliving Boston where the Fosburghsare executing a big building contract andwas routed out of bed at 4 oclock yester-day morning by a State detective who

a subpoena on him The defencesay that he was coming anyway to tes-

tify for the accused Otherwilnfesttes are Hittily te fe sworn by

V-

ExJustie Roger A Pryor who has asummer home near here went on thebench with Judge Stevens when courtconvened this morning

Mr Forbes the civil engineer who hasa witness at the trial daily was re-

called to stand for continuation ofthe crossexamination OB his mapscharts and diagrams ot the Fosburghpremises

Nelson James Hall of Pittsfflekl thenext witness is little more than a boyHe said he was at the Fostourgh houseabout 4 oclock on the morning of August3 three or four hours after the shootingThere were other men there too HesaidI went up Dalton Avenue andfifty yards from the house I found a iwirof socks They were black with a whiteline In them and were lying on the road-side in the grass James Hayes who waswith me found a blue sock a few feetfurther up the avenue There were bare-footed tracks In road We traced the

to Benedict Road The socks weto Policeman ChapsEan

The socks were identified by Hail whowas turned over Joyner for crossexamination

How runny bjftefjj ot tracks did youwas

Only the tf jps of one person wasthe reply

Hall said that be had not measured thefoot prints but guessed that they wereabout ten inches long and broad ratherthan narrow He admitted that he had

only that the timeabout 4 oclock and he

guessed that It was dear weather al-

though it had been fogy all night andthat the sun had not yet risen He saidthat he had been up all night and until hewent to the Fosburgh place had beenaround the police station from the timethe firealarm ben rang at about 130oclock

Hall gave way to James Hayes Wscompanion in the visit to the scene of theshooting Hayes Is a bricklayer He saidthat he had turned out when the fire

was sounded and gone to the po-

A Letter From the Naval Academys Superintendent

Commander IValmvriclit State F

Secretary Lung lieKnow of a Copy of the Third Vol-

ume at the Annapolis InstitutionThe Navy Department this morning

made public portions of a letter receivedfrom Commander Walnwright Superin-tendent of the Naval Academy in whichhe says that there has been no propositionwhatever to adopt the third volume efMaclays history as a textbook at theAcademy Commander ainwrfghts

is dated July 3 The part made pub-lic

so much in the papers Inregard to the third volume of MaclaysNaval History and having

also an official letter from you tfn thesubject I think it right to put you in pos-

session of a full knowledge of the easeas existing at the Naval Academy

There has been no proposition to adoptthis third volume as a textbook or ref-erence book either front the head of theDepartment of English the AcademicBoard or any person within my knowl-edge

There is no intention here of requiringthe cadets to study the history of suchrecent events as in the SpanishAmericanwar and their time is too limited to

them to study a full volume on anyone war

Maclays Naval History was adoptedwith the consent of the department in1S95 when the English course here wasextended beyond its former limits

This Intention not to adopt the thirdvolume of SIacay3 history Is entirelyapart any consideration of Its value

of theof the theta an I criticisms contained

therein r do know of a copy of thethird volume at the Naval Academy

Secretary Long stated this morning thathe had not as yet received a reply fromMr JJaclay the historian concerning hisstatement that he had sent the proofs ofthe third volume of his book t the Sec-retary of the Navy for his perusal beforeits publication He has however beenadvised by the Applctons who broughtout the book that they are willing tomake the changes and corrections neces-sary to eliminate the attack made uponAdmiral Schley

Naval officers are talking today aboutthe statement made by Rear AdmiralEvans in which he explains the cause eftear Admiral Sehleys remaining forthree days at CJenfuegos Rear AdmiralEvans asserts that the signals arrangedby Capt B H McCalla with thenatives to communicate information to5the American tieet were not made knjwnto Rear Admiral Schley until he had

Cienfuegos for three daysIt will be remembered that Rear

Schley was sent to Cienfuegos toblockade the Spanish fleet which wassupposed to be there xTajrtain ilcCalla-infarmed Rear Admiral Sampson of

which was by himto all the several commandersthe exception Admiral Schley andCaptain Cook aboard the Brooklyn TheCubans followed instructions placingthree horses in a row along the shore intile daytime and three white lights bynight Schley gave them no bees thereason that he had not been advised byRear Admiral Sampson of their meaning

As soon as Rear Admiral Schley 1on May 24 that the Spanish fleef

was not at Cienfuegos he left within afew hours for Santiago

This statement made by Rear AdmiralEvans is all the more astounding coming-as it does following the statement madeseveral days ago by Secretary Long tothe effect that Schley hart in hisopinion given the order for the famousBrooklyn loop

Gradually the exoneration of Roar Ad-miral Sehley appears to be brought about

THE BURIAL OF MALONE

ing that everything connected with theburial of George Malone the colored manwho died yesterday x In the rear of JillFourteenth Street northwest of consumption and who was interred In pot-ters field yesterday afternoon was ab-solutely regular The certificate of burlal is signed by Dr A B Cole who at-tended the man The physician statedthat the man was without relatives and
