EUROPE STILL GETTING NEARER.

Queenstown Now Several Minutes Closer
to New York Than Ever as Both Cam
pania and Lucanla Have Smashed
Records.
NEW YORK, Oct 2i.-~'he new twin
rev sister ships of the Cunard line, the
Campania and the Lucania, distinguished
themselves yesterday by creating new
records. It WAS a novel contest between
giants speeders of the same line.
The Lucania's captain and chief en-
gineer, rushing eastward for Daunt
Rock, intent on eclipsing the eastern
record of the Campania, FIVE days, four
teen hours and ffty-fve minutes; and
the enthusiasts at the helm and in the
engine room Of the Campania, boundin 2
toward Sandy Hook, were ambitious to
lower, by few minutes at least, the
westward record of the Lucania, FIVE
days, thirteen hours, and forty five min
utes.
The Campania was sighted off Fire
island at 8 90 o'clock last night. The
nautical calculators then decided that
the problem whether she would or would
not beat the best time, east or west,
between Sandy Hook and Queenstown,
won by the Lucania in the morning,
would be matter merely Of minutes.
She burned her signals as she approached
the Hook at 10 81.
AS she had passed Daunt Rock, bound
hither, at 35 p. m Queenstown time,
1t was plain enough that she had at least
broken the westward Iecord of her swift
sister, the Lucania
The calculators ceased conjecturiue
when the news came up from Quaran-
tine at 10 45 this morning thso the Cam
pania had bettered the ocean CROSSING
record Of the Lucania by just seven min
utes.
Her time was days, 13 hours and q
minutes, and her daily runs were 456
517, 524, 533 and 234 knots. Sh
traversed 2, 7S6 knots, which is nineteen
knots shorter than the eastward cours
of the Lucania.
The Lucania, beat the eastward tim
of the Campania. She also made tn
trip in fifteen minutes less time thar
it took her TO come to this side. He
time was days 13 hours and 30 -minu
tes, which is one hour and twenty
five minutes better than the eastwar
record of the Campania.

Pangborn left the hall in high state Of

Then Commissioner Burton, of Kansas,

EITHER the gentleman was not listen

retort.
"The chair was stating fact, said
Mr.. Palmer.
'The chair was stating a falsehood, q"
exclaimed the gentleman from Kansas.
Bang went the gsvel of President
Palmer on his desk in rapid succession,
while the offending commissioner tried
to make himself heard above the din.
A motion was put and carried that Mr..
Burton must apologize Thereupon Mr..
Burton made a defense instead of an
apology, which only aggravated the
situation. He denounced the treatment
Of Mr. Pangborn as discourteous and
disgracefui. The presidents gavel came
down again with renewed force. He de.
clared that Mr. Button could not pro.

Cries Of "retract" and apologize" fol

Mr.. Burton repeated the words like q
