SHIFTS WESTWARD Interest in Steel Strike Cen ters Around Chicago. EXPECT NEW RECItOTS. Mill Mon at South Chicago an 1 Milwaukee 31 ay Go Out. TO PAY STRIKE BENEFITS. After September Ist Amalgamated I .* Idle n«n Mill li«t at 1 Per Week— I'rovlslon to t>» .Made lor Striker.* Outside the Organization. Pittsburg, Aug. 17.—The center of interest in the steel strike yesterday -shifted to the west, where Joliet finally swung into line with the strik ers and Milwaukee appointed to-day as the time for a final vote on the question. The news that came out <>t the west cheered the strikers throughout the districts in this vicin ity as no other development since the labor war was declared. They count upon favorable action at Mil waukee and say that they will yet win Chicago over. These successes, they declare, will make them masters of the situation and win the strike. The steel operators on the other hand say tli.it the strikers are nearly at the Hood tide of their success and 'that when the ebb comes it can never be stopped. They do not seem to be disturbed by recent events. Two hundred men employed in the National galvanizing works of the -National Tube Co. at MeKeesport struck yesterday. They were the •last remaining workmen in the af fected trades in that city and the tie-up is now as complete as possible there. Many of the tube workers, although <>n strike have refused to join any union, and the opinion is •expressed that there will soon be a break among the strikers. The recent gains at Joliet and Me- Keesport bring the total number of men brought out by the third and final call of President ShalVer to about 30,000 and the grand total to something over 70,000. Thousand of the men out have found other work and the exact num ber now idle is unknown. The Amal gamated is organizing a series of em ployment bureaus to place many more of the idle men. President Shaffer announced Friday that after ■September 1 idle Amalgamated men would receive strike benefits of $4 a week apiece and that some provision would be made for men outside the organization. The lodges of the International Plate Workers' Protective associa tion throughout the country are passing upon thequestioii of handling the Welsh plates which the American Tin Plate Co. plans to import to re plenish the supply cut off by the strike, and their decision will have an important bearing on the strike. The tin plate workers claim that in the past when they asked for the aid of the Amalgamated they were given no satisfaction and that the Amalgamat ed has furnished precedents against sympathetic strikes. Joliet, 111., Aug. 17. —When the 2,- 500 employes of the Illinois Steel Co., a constituent company of the United States Steel Corporation, joined the ranks of the strikers yesterday the streets of this city took on a holiday appearance. Ail the Illinois steel mills are closed, except the blast fur naces. Those on strike in this city now are: Illinois Steel Co. (various depart ments). 2,500 men. American Tin Plate Co., 500 men. Pressed Steel Co., 500 men. By the closing down of the Illinois •works idleness, for lack of material, is almost certain to come upon the following within a week: American Steel and Wire Co., 2,000 men. Joliet stove works, 500 men. Phoenix Horseshoe Co., 500 men. .Miscellaneous, 200 men. Superintendent Sheldon, of the Illi nois iSteel Co., said plans are being made which probably will put a new phase on the situation. What these plans are, he refused to say. Will Send tlie lowa and Hanger. Washington, Aug. 17. —A telegram has been prepared at the navy de partment togo forward to the lowa immediately upon her arrival at San Francisco ordering her to prepare at once togo to sea. When she ad vises the department that she is ready, an order will follow for her to proceed to Panama. The little crui ser Hanger, which is at San Diego, was ordered to sail yesterday. Sin is very slow, however, and it would require 15 days for her to reach her destination. The department, there fore, decided to send the lowa. A Sympathetic Strike. Buffalo, Aug. 17.—About 100 bridge builders and structural iron workers and between 15 and 20 painters went on strike at the Stony Point steel plant yesterday.

MOSQUITOS TRANSMIT GERMS. J Experiments Oouducled by New York's Health Olllcer Prove the Above Statement. New York, Aug 1 . 13. —Dr. Doty, health officer of this port,, who has of late been carrying on a warfare against mosquitos, beginning his op erations on Staten Island, yesterday issued a statement -eoncerning these operations, which have been prose cuted with a view to determining defi nitely, if possible, whether the ma larial fever parasite is transmitted from one person to another by the female of the anapheles species of mosquito. Dr. Doty, at the New York quaran tine laboratory, has been carrying on his investigations for a year past. He first selected a low lying district in which were many stagnant pools and on which were 100 small houses. In spection showed that at least 30 per cent, of the inhabitants were suffer ing with acute or chronic forms of malaria. Samples of water from the pools and cisterns, cesspools and bar rels disclosed larvae of the mosquito. Large glass tubes were distributed among the houses for the purpose of securing some of the mosquitos which Infested the neighborhood, and among those collected were found the an apheles or malarial mosquitos. In one of the houses a little girl 7 years old was found suffering from acute malaria. Dr. Doty was allowed by the mother to secure a drop of blood from the lobe of the ear. A bacteriological examination of this was made in the laboratory and the parasite was found. Many tests have been made to as certain the value of the different agents believed to be destructive to the mosquito larvae. It was a sur prise, says Dr. Doty, to find that a so lution of bichloride of mercury 1-2,- 000), sufficiently strong to kill all micro-organisms, or germs, affected the larvae slowly, some being alive at the expiration of 24 hours. The doc tor says it would be unsafe under any condition to use this dangerous agent in ponds which are fully exposed, and this may also be said of carbolic acid and other agents experimented with. In conclusion, he says: "The result of this examination j from a scientific point has been of ; great interest: First, because it has shown the intimate relation between the mosquito and malarial fever; sec ond, because it has revealed to those who have been identified with this investigation the true breeding places of the mosquito, which I am sure are not generally known; third, it has j shown that petroleum oil will surely , and promptly destroy mosquito lar vae, and so far as careful experiments indicate it is the only agent which can be depended upon for this pur pose." THE ANTI-TRUST LEAGUE. It Contributes PSDO lor the I*ro»ern» tlon of the Morgan Steel Combine, I ( Washington, Aug. 13.—The joint ! committee of the American Anti- J Trust league and District Assembly ! Xo. CG of the Knights of Labor held j another meeting last night to eon- \ sider the question of bringing legal | action against the United States Steel I Co. The members say they are satis- ' fied after conferences with Hon. j Frank S. Alonnctt, of Ohio, and with ! | local attorneys that there is ample ' evidence available for a successful ( issue against the corporation. A spe cial committee will be appointed to present the matter to Attorney Gen eral Knox, with a plea that he insti tute proceedings against the trust, under the Sherman act. If these ef- j forts fail, recourse will be had to mandamus or other proceedings to at tain the object sought. The committee will co-operate with individuals and associations in other j states where help is desired in pro ceedings against the steel corpora tion. A contribution of SSOO toward defraying expenses incident to the j proceedings to be begun was made by the Anti-Trust league. AN OIL BOOM.

A DISTINCT SUCCESS. Another Tfit ol" V/lrele** T"le^ra |iIt>" t!iat SIIOWH itlurvelouN ISemilt*. New York, Aug. 17.—'The Cunard liner Lucania, which sailed from Liverpool for New York August 10, was spoken through the medium of wireless telegraphy, by the new Nan tucket lightship last evening. The Herald shore station to which came the wireless message from the lightship is located at Siaseonset, .Nantucket. On the highest part of the village, Known as Hunker hill, is erected a mast built in three sections with its truck rising 105 feet in the air. Its upper end is a spar which carries a vertical wire of the Marconi system 180 feet above the ground. The instruments which complete the installation are located in a cot tage 100 feet distant from the base of the mast and between 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. On board this ship a spar has been fitted to the original mast and from the tip <<f this, 100 feet above the sea, a wire is suspended similar to that on shore. At the Siaseonset wireless tele graph station the instruments re corded the signals that were being sent out from the lightship, search ing for the Lucania. Finally, about (i o'clock, it was demonstrated that the two vessels were in communica tion. To make absolutely certain their circuit was temporarily broken, to ask the the lightship if the Luea nia had been heard from. The an swer came back that the Cunarder had been reached. From that time until 0:40 o'clock messages were sent in a stream from the Lucania. There were occasional interruptions for ad justment. but in a general way it may be said that communication for nearly four hours was unbroken. C? Will L,uml in a NPW Combine.

IS KING OF TROTTERS. CrpiM'Fu* Heat* The Abbot In Tito Straight lira it and .Tlitkcn a New iiccord lor Ifurcrn. Xfiw York, Aiiff. 10.—The trotting interests of tlie Kmpire City have not received such a boom in ii quarter of a century as was developed Thursday a! the Brighton Beach track when the champion stallion anil champion geld ing, Cresceus and The Abbot, came together for a purse of $12,000. The Abbot with his record of 2:03% last season, and Cresceus with his mark of 2:0~y 4 made at, Columbus, were to decide the question of which was the fastest trotting horse. lit was 3:30 o'clock when the driv ers, Ketcham and (ieers, appeared before the grand stand. Kach was driven up and down the stretch for a warming up and when they reached the starter Cresceus was slightly in the lead and they were called back. The next time, however, they were nose and nose. Then Cresceus rushed to the front and had a lead of a length, which he held to the quarter, making that mark in :30%. This lead The Abbot •had slightly reduced at the half, which was reached in 1:01%, and he was a very close second at the three quarter pole in 1:32%. The vast crowd realized that a world's record was about to be made, and the grand stand arose to its feet while the multitude in the space be tween the stand and the track cheered wildly. Coining down the stretch it was a battle royal, with The Abbot very close up, but Cresce us kept on with nostrils extended and just managed to beat his opponent by a half length in 2:03V4, the world's trotting record in a race. In the second heat The Abbot had not traveled a hundred yards before he made a disastrous break, and be fore he could recover his gait Cresce us was in front. The Abbot, once settled, made a grand effort, to over take his opponent, but Cresceus went the mile in 2:06>4, with The Abbot back of the flag. As the race was best three in five, Ketcham consented that Cresceus g-o another heat. This he did shortly before 5 o'clock, accompanied by a runner for the first half, where he was joined by another runner, and he did the mile in 2:05. It is said the owner of Cresceus re ceived $7,000 of the purse and the owner or The Abbot $5,000, A LIVELY CONCLAVE. Pennsylvania Democratic State Coil* vcnilon Nominate* Two < andidatcs. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 16. —The dem ocratic state convention yesterday nominated Judge Harmau Yerkes, of Doy lest own, for supreme court judge and Representative Andrew J. Palm, of Meadville, for state treasurer. The platform makes no reference to Wil liam J. Bryan or national affairs, be ing confined entirely to state issues. In the closing moments of the con vention resolutions were adopted which will have the effect of blocking any effort that may be contemplated looking to the withdrawal of the candidate for state treasurer ami the substitution of an anti-Quay repub lican on a fusion ticket. The contest bet ween the rival Phila delphia factions for recognition by the convention resulted in a harmony agreement between the leaders of the two elements. A committee was designated to co-operate with ex- Gov. Pattison, chairman of tne regu lar city committee, in adjusting the differences that may arise in reor ganizing the party in Philadelphia. Following the ratification of the harmony program an effort was made by J. (). Ulrieh, of Schuylkill, to expel the Philadelphia delegates. He made a speech criticizing the har mony resolutions and condemning the leaders of the Philadelphia democ racy. An assistant sergeant-at-arms tried to force Mr. Ulrich to take his seat and there was almost a riot. The police interfered and after much ex citement the Ulrich resolution to ex pel the delegates was rejected. HEADQUARTERS CHOSEN. A I. lit Hint Shotvs Where the A. 11.

Considerable damage was done in .Mobile in the way of up rooting trees, unroofing houses and toppling chimneys. A falling wall demolished the rear end of Mohr <fc 'Sons' drug store, badly damaging his stock. The flood water WJVS backed by the southeast gale over the cotton wharf, and several streets were covered. The water was is inches deep in the cotton exchange, and both the Western Union and Pos tal offices were flooded. The power houses of the electric railway were flooded and electric car service was shut down. All business in the wholesale district was suspended. While the storm was not as severe as the record breaker of 189U, there was much excitement among the peo ple because of recollection of the great damage by the earlier storm. The people were apprehensive of a repetition of that disaster, and spent a miserable night. Out of doors every one was drenched thoroughly by the heavy rain. The rainfall was 5.81 inches. During the storm the steamboat Lady Jane went to the rescue of the truck gardeners who live in the marshes between Mobile and Spanish rivers. In the 159.5 flood the people there suffered greatly and a half dozen were drowned. The Lady Jane rescued all that, could be reached who were in special danger and brought them to the city.

Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 17.—The French steamship Cyrano, which ar rived Friday, reports that the Amer ican steamship Evelyn, ten days from Xew York for this port, went aground Thursday morning about eight miles from Pensacola bar. She is fast going to pieces. During the storm Thursday night the Portuguese bark Prophets, laden with a cargo of timber valued at $5,- 000, was badly damaged. The storm was one of the wildest ever known here. The storm reached n wind velocity of 70 miles an hour, with spurts of 90 miles. There was great damage to ship ping in the bay and to water front property. Twelve or 15 schooners of the fishing fleet were badly damaged. Four of them sank, causing a loss aggregating $70,000.
