MANY MESSAGES FROM THE SNORE Fasseagers of Steamer Are Given a 8am aary of World's Happenings 8I.ce They Left Queeastowa Several Day. Ago. NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The Cunard line steamship Lucania, Captain Mc 'Kay, which sailed from Liverpool for Xew York August 10. was spoken through the medium of wireless teleg raphy by the Nantucket lightship shortly after 6 o'clock this evening. The Herald shore station, to which came the wireless message from the lightship is at Siasconset, a favorite summer resort on the island of Nan tucket. On the highest part of the .village, known as Bunker Hill, is erected a mast, built in three sections, with its truck rising 165 feet in the air. At its upper end is a spar known , as a spirit or yard, which carries a vertical wire of the Marconi system 380 feet above the ground. The in struments which complete the install ation are in a cottage 100 feet distant from the base of the mast, and be tween it and the sea an uninterrupted moorland stretches for a mile or more. Forty sea miles away, bearing about south, the Nantucket lightship is moored as a safeguard to vessels crossing the dangerous shoals of this vexed area and as a point of departure and arrival for vessels crossing the northern Atlantic or coasting along the western seaboard. On board this vessel a spar has been fitted to the original mast and from the tip of this, 10C feet above the sea plane, a wire is suspended similar to that on shore. At the Siasconset wireless telegraph station the instruments near 6 o'clock this evening recorded ie signals that were being sent out from the light ship searching lor Lucania. Finally, about C o'clock it was demonstrated that the two vessels were in commu nication. To make absolutely certain, their circuit was temporarily broken, to ask the lightsu.p If Lucania had been heard from. The answer came hack that the steamship had been leached. From that time until 9:40 messages were sent in a stream from Lucania. There were occasional in- terruptions for adjustment, but in a general way it may be said that the conditions were favorable and that communication for nearly four hours was unbroken. From the Nantucket lightship to Lu cania was also sent a summary of the news events of the world that had happened since the steamship left the other side. The following message was among those received at the lightship from Lucania and then transmitted to the land station. It is signed by Captain McKay, in command of Lucania: "All well on boaru. We are 287 miles from Sandy Hoon. and with clear weather expect to reach New York harbor Saturday. Please inform Cu nard agents. M'KAY." SCHLEY AT WASHINGTON.

Sep tember 2 to 6 is tye date of the fair and on that occasion one of the largest crowds ever on the grounds is con fidently expected. The management has improved the grounds lately pur chased by the state by the expenditure of $18,000 for permanent improve ments. The wing of Horticultural hall, destroyed by a wind storm, will be rebuilt. A new woven wire fence has been placed around the whole grounds, all the old buildings have been repaired, painted and put in the best condition. September 5 is Woodmen day and on that occasion the handsomely uniform ed drill teams will contest for prizes ranging from $25 to $75. Three priies will be given for the best drilled teams. There are 40,000 Woodmen in Nebraska and a host is expected on that day. Secretary Furnas announces that the outlook for exhibits was never' better.

The trotting interests of the Empire City have not received such a boom in a quarter of a century sa were developed today at the Brighton Beach track, when un der the auspices of the New Yorl: Trotting association the champion stallion and champion gelding. Cres ceus and The Abbott, came together for a purse of $12,000. The Abbott, with his record of 2:03 of last sea son, and Cresceus, with his mark of 2:024, made at Columbus, were to decide the question of which was the one to go down in history as the fast est trotting horse now living. There was a larger crowd present than ever seen on a New York trot ting track. The grand stand was sim ply packed and this despite the fact that reserved seats with admission cost $4, while boxes holding four per sons were all disposed of at $30 each In addition to the regular admission. While the seating capacity is but 3,500, It was undoubtedly a fact that close to 5,000 persons were jammed into the structure. Every available space between the stand and the track was packed to its utmost capacity, and the paddock, infield and cheaper 'admission field contained a legion of people. It was estimated that fully 15,000 people were present The weather was simply per fect for the great trial and the track was like velvet, though probably a second slow. Several times during the afternoon both horses put In some preliminary work, and each time they, passed the crowd there was great en thusiasm. Coming down the stretch it was a battle royal, with The Abbott very close up, but Cresceus with his bull dog grip kept on with nostrils ex tended and just managed to beat his opponent .by a half length in 2:03, the world's trotting record in a race. To say that the announcement cre ated tumultuous applause only faintly conveys the meaning of the expres sion. A little over half an hour had ex pired when the two grand horses came out for their second trial and were started under the same conditions that existed in the first heat -They were sent away beautifully, but The Abbott had not traveled a hundred yards be fore he made a disastrous break and before he could recover his gait Cres ceus was in front The Abbott, once settled, made a grand effort to over take his opponent but the son of Robert McGregor was out for victory, and kept on, passing the quarter in 31 seconds; the half in 1:02; the three-quarters in 1:35, and came rush ing home the last quarter in 31 sec onds, doing the mile in 2:06. with The Abbott back of the flag. As the race was best three in five, Ketcham consented that Cresceus go another heat. This he did shortly be fore 5 o'clock, accompanied by a run ner for the first half, where he was joined by another runner, and he did the mile in 2:05, the quarter in: 30, the half in 1:01, and the three-quarters in 1:34. ,, CoatailMloa Has aa Basjr Task.

Aug. 15 There will be no strike of the employes of the steel mills in South Chicago. This point was settled last night when the men refused to reconsider the action taken Saturday night, at which time they decided to stand by their contracts with the mills and refused 'to join the strikers. After they had declined to reconsider. Assistant Secretary M. F. Tighe, of the Amalgamated asso ciation, who came to Chicago with the intention of securing a revocation of the action of Saturday nignt, if pos sible, declared that he revoked the charters of both lodges of the Amal gamated association in the South Chi cago mills and declared the men out side the organization.

Mr. Tighe arrived in the city Wednesday and spent the day ar ranging for a secret meeting of the two lodges of the Amalgamated asso ciation to be held last night The men gathered at the appointed time, but there were so few of them in the hall that the end of the matter was a foregone conclusion. By far the greater number of the members of the two lodges had gone to work in stead of coming to the meeting and only a handful was present. Mr. Tighe made a long address to the men, giv ing them the story of the strike from the standpoint of the Amalgamated association and asking them to help the men in the east by quitting the mills in South Chicago. Several speeches were made by the local mem bers of the association in reply to Mr. Tighe, the general trend being that the men considered themselves bound by contracts with their employ ers and that they did not think that it was their duty to turn their backs on these contracts at the bidding of the association. At 11 o'clock a vote was taken on the question of recon sidering and by an overwhelming ma jority the men refused to reopen the question. Mr. Tighe then announced that the charters of both lodges were revoked and the meeting dissolved.

A False Impression Corrected Fan American Exposition Railroad Fare and Hotel Rates Low as Could be Expected. Buffalo, N. Y., July 30. A joint meeting of railway passenger agents, hotel and newspaper men was held this afternoon with the view of adopt ing some means for correcting so far as possible the impression that ap pears to prevail at distant points that railway rates to the Pan-American Ex position are high and that hotel rates in Buffalo are excessive. The confer ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can accommodate two hundred thousand visitors in its private houses and hos tels at rates ranging from fifty cents to two dollars per night, and that, no one need pay more than one dollar for a first-class lodging in a private house. It was also shown that the railroad rate is lower than for any former exposition for a five, ten or fifteen day ticket, according to dis tance, being at the rate of one fare plus one dollar for the round trip, from all parts of the country. The Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special excursions of former years, when trains were overcrowded and everyone subjected to great discomfort, are re membered only so far as the low rate is concerned, and this is quoted as showing what might be done. The passenger agents assert that the pres ent half rates are as low as can rea sonably be expected. An extension of the present limit has been looked for, as it gives too short a time for anyone to see the big exposition, but it has not yet been modified. Other points which the representatives of the pub lishers' association will lay stress upon are that the Exposition is com pleted in all details and that both Buffalo and the Exposition are well policed and as free from dangerous characters as any city in the country. A joint committee was. appointed to deal with, questions affecting the Ex position and the proper welcome and care of guests. The Exposition has had in operation for some timo a free bureau of information for the conve nience of intending visitors. Affliction and physic should be Judged by the effect rather than by the iaste.
