An Operator Takes the News Directly
From the Wire.
LOUISVILLE, May 26.-An interesting
and successful experiment was made
here this morning when the Associated
Press news was taken direct from the
wire by typesetting operator The in-
PRODUCTION of typewriters into the tele-
graph business has been a means Of
greatly facilitating the transmission Of
the press service OF the Associated Press,
and several newspaper men OF this city
connected with the EOe11lng Post and the
Associated Press have been experiment
ing of late with view TO doing away
with the typewriter and substituting
therefor the linotype machine, thus set
ting the news for the paper directly from
the wire. This morning loop from one
OF the Associated Press wires was run
into the EUcHtRg Posts mposlng-room,
and b. G.. Boyle. Managing Editor of the
Post, and Richard Cogan, Chief Operator
of the Associated Press, who are both
telegraph and linotype operators, sue
ceeded in receiving dispatches OF the AS
sociated Press, and put them in type dl-
rectly from the wire. The experiment
proves that the telegraph can be worked
successfully with the typesetting ma
chimes, and speed of. fifty words min
ute was attained. In an hours work
this morning an average speed of thirty
words per minute was maintained.

ELECTIONS IN ITALY.
The Government Hopes to Elect q

The Government Hopes to Elect a
Majority of Deputies.
ROME, May 26.-The elections through
out the country to-day were regarded
with certain amount of apathy by the
Republicans. From such reports as have
come to hand, however. the polling has
been fairly active and heavy. The domi-
nant question, finance, was not enough
to arouse any kind of enthusiasm in the
public mind. The attempts to discredit
Premier Crispi by connecting him with
the Banco Romano scandals are not eX-
pected to have had much real influence
on the elections.
The Government hopes to secure $50
seats out Of sos Of which the Cham ber is
composed. The polling ceased at 4
o'clock and the counting began forthwith.
Ministerialists displayed great activity,
and in the majority of cases secured the
election of members of their party as
electorals of the polling places, which is
regarded as an indication of success at
the polls.
In the Fourth District Premier Crispi
was elected with 920 votes against 720 for
the Socialist candidate, Felicia, who was
sentenced to eight years in prison in con-
nection with socialistic distur Dances in
Sicily. Signor Bacnelli, Minister of Edu-
cation, was elected in the Third District
by 1864 votes, against 137 for the Socialist
candidate. Signor Crispi has already been
elected from three other places, namely,
Modica, Tricarica and Naples. Votes
were cast for him in many districts where
he was not candidate. The Ministers of
Marine, Rear-Admiral Morino; of Fin
ance, Signor Bozelli; of War, General
Mocenni. and of Posts and Telegraphs,
qt Rrif
biancheri, ex-President of the Cham ber
of Deputies. and several under Secre-
taries are all returned.
ROME, May 26.-The returns from
sixty-six districts show the following re-
suit: Sixty-one Ministerialists elected
fourteen OF Constitutional Organization,
sixteen Radicals and tive Socialists.

Tom Dixon Whips the 'Omaha Kid''-
Thirty-Six Rounds Fought.
KANSAS CITY, May 26.-Five hundred
sports from this city went across the
river into Kansas this afternoon and paid
S5 each to witness a finish fight between
Oscar Gardner, the "Omaha Kid" and
Tommy Dixon of Rochester, n. Y. The
fight was for 5000 side and the gate re-
ceipts. The tent was pitched in an open
field. Both contestants weighed in at 120
pounds. The mill lasted through thirty
six rounds and ended in victory tor
Dixon.
The Omaha man started in very brash,
evidently determined to put his adver-
sary out in short order. He led right
along for Dixon's jaw, but almost invari-
ably missed, and was clearly outscienced
and outgeneraled. In the second round
Gardner seriously injured his left hand
and in the eighteenth was all but disa-
bled in his right. In the last three rounds
Gardner went to the ground six times,
each time remaining fully nine seconds.
Gardner was badly punished and his sec
onds threw up the sponge 81 the end OF
the thirty-sixth round.

AS l have already pointed out, the Sas-
SCUM relief funds are merely revolution
ary funds in disguise l am convinced
that any relief money intrusted to any
Armenian will sooner Or later be used 10
help the revolutionary cause. The
entire Armenian people are Interested in
this revolutionary movement. AT pres
ent the only possible way in which this
starving, people of Armenia can be
helped is by means of Christian mission
aries in Turkey and Persia. l say this,
not knowing the complications that might
arise between the missionaries and the
Turkish Government, but to give money
to Armenian committees is simply to aid
the revolutionists. Help is needed, how
ever, and that in money.
