Claim la Made That All the Men Required Can Readily Be Secured President Shaffer, ot Union Forces, Saya It Will Prove a Costly Experiment for the Trust.

PITTSBURG, Aug. Steel Trust to-day took up the gauntlet thrown down by the Amalgamated Association in the general atrike proclamation of last evening. Two mills of the Clark plaut were started twith negro labor. At McKeesport aiz non-union men crept into town from a B. 0.

train, and then disappeared. The pickets at the depot hissed them as they ran down a side street, Warned by a train crew, the pickets searched the city thoroughly for the non-unionists, but the strangers could not be located. President Shaffer does not regard the re-; opening of the Clark mill as serious; understand ail the new men are negroes except one," he sand. It may look easy to start a striking mill with unskilled labor, but it is a costly experiment in most cases. Our men will not bother them.

Secretary John Williams, in conversation this morning, said the Amalgamated Association felt strong enough to fight its own fight for the present. No other labor organization will be asked for material aid until the situation becomes such that it is absolutely necessary. For that reason the talk that the Federation of Labor will shortly become involved In the strike to gny material extent is regarded as untrue. VlfT Williams did not say that President Satuuer Gojnpers, of the Federation of Labor, was not coming to this city, but be intimated that if he should come bis duties would be largely of an advisory nature. Contrary to the published fe ports, the managers of the Hyde Park mill say the mill is running with a full complement of wen end.

in full operation. meat has extended an invitation to any cne to visit the mill and be convinced. The officials of the Amalgamated dp not deny that the mill is in full operation, hnt they say the men were gathered from the other mills of the combine. Saturday the strikers of the National Steel Company's mills at Newcastle will hold a mass meeting -in celebration of the trike. President Shaffer, of the Amnlgs- mated, will be present and epeak.

Secretary Williams issued a statement at noon that there would be no developments as far aa concerned the Amalgamated. The strikers at the Clark mill will hf addressed by President bhaffer to-morrow night and an immense turn-out is anticipated. ALLTHE MEN HE NEEDS. i Captain Brown Saya Entire Plant Will Be Operated In Pew Day. PITTSBURG, Aug.L-Cousterns-' tjnn peigned among the strikera this morning when they learned that Captain Louis Brown, general superintendent of the Clark mill at Thirty-fifth street, had stolen a march on them and started up the 10 and 12-inch mills.

A few ot the strikers were around the plant early, and when they saw the two mills in operation they were speechless with surprise, and hurried away-to inform their comrades. Soon many thronged to the works and witnessed the sight for themselves. The mills started at tbn regular hour this morning with abont 100 men and hoys. Captain Brown says the entire plant will be in operation before the end of the week. In an interview he said: Yes, it is true that we started the 10 and 2-lnefa mills this morning, and we would have started the and 0-inch mills, but we are being delayed on these mills because of incompieted and betterments.

They WR1 he In shape before the end of the week, and will then start them. AVe have no trouble whatever in securing men. Of those who went to work this morning some are elected employees and some of them are new. AVe have many applications on file, and will send out word to-day to those whom we can give employment, telling them when to report for duty. The 20-inch mill has been running steadily since the strike began, the men working the 20-inch mill, having refused to go out with the others who did not strike.

Everything is running smoothly, and we expect Xto trouble. The report published this morning that we had employed extra lolice from the city is untrue. The only men doing police duty at the mill are the regular coal and iron police which have been employed by us for years, Two of them re oi i duty during the day and two at night." Captain Brown denied the report that negro workmen were being wrought to the city. He said he was able to secure all the men he could find place for from Pittsburg, and the throng that surrounded the mill gate seeking work wss evidence suf-ticient that Mr. Brown did not misrepresent the situation.

In regard to the, upper and lower union mills of the Carnegie mills located at Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third streets, Captain Brown, who also has these mills under his direction, said that they were running along quietly, and he due not -expect the men to go out Satinets y. when President Shafer order goes in to rITeit.

LOOKING FOR CAPITAL, Will Apply for Hi Discharge front Bankruptcy in a Few Days Lawyer Epstein Gives Vent to Another Statement Respecting the Alleged Blind Fool. According to a statement1 made this moraipg by Laxv.xer Alfred Epstein, 'of" Epstein at No.

320 Broadway, Muuhattau, G. Edward Graff ia negotiating with some influential uieu with the object of suming business as a stock broker. Mr. Epstein stated that the object of making the proposed application for di- barge from bankruptcy xxas to clear Mr. Graffs name.

Final arrangements xx ill then be made about his resumption of business. This application will be made within the next few days. Mr. Epstein stated that Graff bad turned over to the bankruptcy court ail his property, and is therefore entitled to it. Jir.

Epstein says that ten days after the application is filed is allowed by the court, for the examination of the bankrupt. The examination, therefore, will take place few days after the first meeting of the creditors on Aug. 13. Efforts to find Graff about town have been futile. According to Lawyer Epstein, Graff baa left toxvn for the present, for a abort vacation.

Where be hag gone to Mr. Esteiu says he does not know. Mr. Epstein said that there was no truth in the reports printed yesterday to effect that experts had examined the signatures attached to the alleged blind pool agreement in his office. He said the story was a dream.

Both Graff and ex-Fire Cliiqf Nevins say the signatures are genuiue, he said. It now remains for- the other gentlemen to prove otherwise. 51 r. Epstein continued as follows: The statement of Lawyer Charles IL Hyde abont the forging of the signatures is a bluff. Those signatures ore genuine and Messrs.

Khevlin and Mi-Carty will not go on the stand and deny it. There his been considerable discubsion about tile siguing of the agreement. Some people have said that both gentlemen wera swart to sign such an agreement. Well, they anted 10 make money, and they thought the pool was the best scheme of getting it. It is comparatively easy to show that both signed the contract.

The four men were good friends, they had full confidence in Jir. Graff. They solicited 51 r. Graff's services. He did not seek the business.

They had invested some money in stock through the firm. They wanted to make more money and saw that Graff was prospering. He told them that if he h9 more money, he could make more. they wanted to share the profits, but did not wish to become members of the firm. In that way they eame to form the pool It was necessary for Graff to have the agreement which was made, in order tu transact his business.

Otherwise he would have violated the rules of the Stock Exchange. We do not claim that either gentleman was partner in the firm. The pool account shows that both received profits from tho firm. The creditors may claim that they are partners. What we want to do is to compel thetp to pay the claim of Then we will have more than enough to pay, all the creditor in full.

Lawyer A. J. Koehler, who has bran quoted as ssying he was going to get after somebody, had this to say to-day: If Graff Co. do not come to time soon I will make move that will bring them to time. What that move was he refused to tell and looked mysterious.

Many attempts have been made to see the original pool agreement. Referee Naylor has assured all reporters that it is quite Impossible for him to show to. As soon as the document wss placed in the hands of the receiver, lawyers ssy, it bo-rame in measure the property of the court, and should be open to inspection. Receiver Naylor, however, acta as if the document would disappear if it were exposed to the public view. A request was made yesterday to Judge Thomas for permission to see the document, but it was denied, on the ground that the matter was In the hands of the receiver aud had not been presented to him.

Ex-Senator John McCarty was seen late this afternoon by a Citizen reporter. Mr. McCarty said that he had nothing to add to his statement of yesterday, when he stated that he saw the alleged agreement snd signatures, aud dedartd it a bold pice of work.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 7. An opportunity to inject politics into the strike whicb-wiil he quickly taken advantage of by the Amalgamated Association appears ia the shipment of Welsh block tin plate to this country to supply the market, impoverished since the strike tegan. Steps will be taken to bring the shipments to the notice of the National Republican Committee. The Amalgamated Association will recall to the committee the hue and cry raised for home-made tin some years ago when it was a popular issue.

They will question the sincerity of the party that in so short a time would permit the importation of Welsh' tin, at a time when the home producers arc deep in a wage struggle. Possibly nothing of importance will come of the matter, but it will he one of the cards the Amalgamated will play. Vice-President Walter Larkin, speaking of the matter to-day, "said the Republican National Committee would be advised of the workmens protest in a short time. While their protest may amonnt to nothing it may have effect in States where there' are elections of importance this autumn. President Shaffer came to his office early this morning and quickly went to work on his great stack of mail.

He said there was nothing of importance in prospect for the day, most of -which would be spent in trying to catch np with the work at headquarters. On receiving a favorable reply on the strike of the Newcastle men he sent the following telegram to the strikers: The true bine men of Newcastle are always iu the van. THE 1GHIAS Gunboat, to Be Sent to Colombia to Protect Railroad. WASHINGTON, Aug. State Department morning requested the Navy Department to send a war vessel to Colon on account of the revolution in Colombia, The Navy Department will send the gang boat Machias, which at present is at Boston.

She will leave for the South American port as soon as sha can be coaled and stocked for the journey. This action is taken because of the report cabled last night by Conspl Gudger, nt Panama, to the effect that a trans-isthmian railway train had been interfered with by the insurgents. The United States is bound by international agreement to see I traffic on this road is not interrupted. The Machias is a gunboat of 1.177 tons. She carries a main battery of eight guns and la' fast sailer.

Her crew consists of about 140 men and she also has a sergeant's guard of marine -of about eighteen or twenty. The complement -of marines may be increased, in order to fit her for possible eventualities on the Isthmus. Commander Sargent has only recently returned from trip in Venezuela and Colombian waters in the Scorpion, and is therefore well acquainted with the general situation there. DELAY IN THE NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE. Steel Columai Hava Hot Arrived from the Peaaaylvanla Steel Compaay.

None of the New East River Bridge Commissioners could be found at the of-flee of that body, Rogers l'eet Building, No. 25S Broadway, Manhattan, tookr? In reference to the delay in the construction of the new bridge. None of the office clerks eould give any Information. It ia likely that the matter will be considered at a meeting of the Commission to-morrow afternoon. The delay is caused by the non-arrival of the 15-000 pound steel columns from the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and even the concern's agent here cannot explain the reason why the metal baa not appeared.

Further delay will seriously hamper the work of spinning the big cables, for the John A. Roehiings Sons Company is prepared to begin this work. The Consolidated Engineering and Con trading Company hag progressed finely with its work ot laying the granite foun dations, but here again the non-appearance of the steel hampers work. The Roeblmg men say that once they start spinning the cables there will be no further delay, and that the work will go on rapidly. Everything depends on the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and the Bridge Commissioners may he asked at their meeting tomorrow afternoon to prod the steei eon rern into action.

When the Report on the Tan and Assessment Rolls Was Presented to the Mnnieipal Assembly To-Day It Was Stated That a Minority Report Would Be Presented Later-Action on the Report Was Deferred Pending the Submission of the Minority Report. The rtqsirt of the joint committees of the Finance Commitlees of the Council aud Board of Aldermen on the assessment rolls for 13iq xxas reieived at a joint meeting ok the Miiuinpal Assembly to-dav, hilt action was deferred one week wheu a mi-noriljr'report will be presented. The report shows the rate of taxation in tho severar-boroughs as follows: Manhattan and the Bronx 51T3 Brooldjn tsv, Qu n. Richmond g.3-10 The increase iu the rate in the following boroughs will lie foundq lomparison with the rate for whuh xxas as folloxx-. Manhattan and the Bronx 2.2477 Brooklyn 2 2211 Queen.

I 416 Richmond 220" This shows an inerea-e of about 7 or seven cents on the hundred dollars, iu Manhattan and the Broux. about 7 points in Brooklyn. 1 point in Queens, and 13 points in Richmond. The increase, as has been heretofore indicated, is ascribed by the city officials to mandatory legislation at Albany, 80 per cent, of it, according to Controller Coler and President Feitner, of the Tax Department, being due to this cause. The report, however, does not undertake to explain the increase again.

When the report was presented to-day Alderman Goodman moved that action he deferred one week in order that the minority may have time to digest it and prepare a minority report and this was done. The Rate iu Brooklyn. Concerning the tax rate in Brooklyn the reimrt says: Under the provisions of chapter 522 of the law of 1839, there must be raised hy taxation the sum of one hundred ant) niiie-ty-alue thousand Tonr hundred and forty-two dollars and seventy-two cents to provide for the deficiency resulting from the discharge of assessments for the improvement of Surf avenne. One-half of this amount ia required to be aa-sesssed on the taxable proierty in jjje Borough of Brooklyn, and the other half on the taxable property in the Thirty-first Ward of said borough. A special tax rate of .0133487513 per cent, on the taxable property of tho Borouglj, of Brook! will produce one-half of this deficiency, and a special tax rato of 8852258862 per cent, on the taxable property of the Thirty-first Ward of said borough will produce the other half.

Under the provisions of chapter 525 of the Laws of 1837, there is also required to be raised by tax levied upon the taxable property of the Thirty-second Ward of the Borough of Brooklyn the sum of four thousand dollars ($4,000) to provide for the claim of James F. Carey. A special tax rate of .0432920187 per cent would produce this amonnt Your committees have conferred with the Department of Finance in regard to the amonnt that will be required for and meet such deficiencies as may in the actual product of the taxes to be imposed and levied in and' for the year 190 and have concluded to recommend that two per centum (2) of the anxonnts to he collected by taxation for State, city and county budgetary purposes he added to and included in the tax levy for this purpose, this being the same percentage adopted last year and almost exactly the figure which, having prevailed in The City of New York prior to consolidation for over twenty years, has been fonnd by experience to offset with substantial accuracy the deficiencies in tha product of the tax resulting from vacated and modified assessments, uncollectible personal taxes, etc, etc. This estimate assumes that the so-called special franchise assessments will be finally sustained by the courts.

The county charges and expenses In the bndget are as follows: Nw Tort r.W TN Ktnr 2, Mi Qun County 7 Richmond 3 Total The Corporation Tax. It is te be noted that included la these amounts is the quota of State taxes due from each of the respective counties. Certain corporations which pay taxes directly to the State are exempt by law from local taxation for State purposes, so far as their assessment affects personal property. It is provided by Section 202 of Chapter 906 ot the Laws of 1806. aa follows; Section 202 The personal property ef every corporation, company, association or partnership, taxable under this article, other than for an organization tax, shall be exempt from assessment and, taxation upon ita personal proiierty for State purposes, and the personal property of every corporation taxable under section one hundred and eighty-seven a of this article, other than for an organization tax, and as proxided in chapter thirty-seven of the general lass sh.ill bo exempt from assessment snd taxation for ail other purposes, if all taxes due and payable under this ar-tule have been paid thereby.

(SPECIAL THE CITIZEN GARDEN CITY, Aug.

funeral services over the remains of the late Rt. Rev. Abram Newkirk Littlejohn, first bishop of the Protestaut-Epiw opal diocese of Long Islamj, which were held in the Cathedral of the Incarnation this morning, were attended by what was probably the most representative congregation of clergymen and laymen that has ever gathered in that magnificent edifice. It was a congregation which in itself bore evidence of the warm personal affection as well as respect and esteem which was held by the many thonsauds in his flock for the deceased. From 0 oclock, the hour at which the cathedral doors were thrown open for the public uutil the time set for assembly for servi hundreds of men.

women and children passeli in through the wide nave of the cathedral, past the casket in which lay alpthat was mortal of the late bishop, and out of the side doors, and the many tearful eyes were a more eloquent tribute i the departed than -words could have ween. The capacity of the cathedral was taxed to the utmost, and there can be no doubt that had the weather been favorable the grounds about the building would also have been crowded. It was not, furthermore, a congregation of the elite, it 1 icing remarked by one of the clergy that the number of persons known for wealth and 6ocinl position was much smaller than might have been expected, whereas each triin from the city brought churchmen far better known for their seal in the Work of the church than for worldly possessions. During the night, the casket containing the body of the deceased bishop remained in the temporary chapel in the conservatory of the See House, while members of the household watched beside it. At 8 o'clock it was taken from this building and borne to the cathedral, where it was placed directly in front of the choir, with the head toward the altar.

At 8.30 a memorial service of the holy communion was celebrated by the A'ery Rev. Dean Cox, assisted- by the Venerable Archdeacon Bryarn Only members of the bishops household, representatives of the clergy and a few personal friends were admitted to this service, which was very impressive. The altar, reradox. candelabra, choir, cross, pedestal and supporting pillars were all heavily draped in pnrpK Lighted can-Mles were at the headland foot of the casket, and the gaslights burned but dim' ly, giving a somber effei-t in light and shade, which was both solemn and appropriate. Numerous floral tributes were arranged between the choir moat conspicuous atunng these being a large cross of roses and white flowers from Holy Trinity parish, of which Bishop Littlejohn was once rector.

Among others were floral offerings from SC Marys, St Anns, St Luke's, Christ Church and many other parishes as well as from personal friends among tha clergy and laity, The Communion Service. During the communion service the doors of the cathedral were closed, and no ons was permitted to enter the building, so that when at 0 oclock they were again opened the front steps were crowded. It was remarked by many of those who took advantage of the last opportunity of viewing the' bishops remains, that the countenance was remarkably lifelike. As a (natter of fact, the features resembled the bishop as he was a number of years ago.

Deputy Police Commissioner York waa summoned to the Mulberry street headquarters to-day by Police Commissioner Murphy.

It is understood that the Commissioner was anxious to discuss ith him the three-platoon system, which it is thought will go into effect the latter part of this week.

It means the shortening of the days work of a policeman to eight hours, or about four hours lc-s than the present plan require. Corumiswone rMurphy has been anxious for some time to give the iln a trial. It would have been put into effect long ago 1 fthe committee had submitted its report nuioh sooner.

Its adoption as explained by Colonel Murphy does not neecw-arilv mean that the force of pa-trolmsu, now numbering 0.121, is to be materially inorcit-ed. FIFtTRttlTV 1KH ROtPlMJ.
