being the guests.
One of the delegates from Portland on
the journey out has caused laugh
among his companions. On previous
occasion the gentleman in question had
been over the same roads that brought
the Pine Tree delegation and he was al
most certain that he was acquainted
with all the points of interest A long
time before Hoosao Tunnel was reached
the gentleman infomed his..associates
that they were soon to enter that fam
Gus passageway and took out his watch
to time the run underground.
He was. somewhat chagrinsd when he
discovered that the train was some 80
miles from the tunnel, but withstood
the laughter of the crowd.
The Portland delegates are in good
health and having fine time.

woods. A stranger was seen in the vicini-
ty of the buildings yesterday, and again

SITUATION VERY SERIOUS.
Moulders at Lynn Cause Strike to be
Ordered.

AS a Result the City Will Probably Loose
trio Plant May Go.
Lynn, Mass, October 16.-The threat
ened strike of the iron and brass mould
ers employed at the big foundries OF the
General Electric Company in this city,
took place this evening. Nearly all OF the
$50 moulders in the iron and brass found
ries of the company came out on strike,
taking their tools with them. The re-
mainder of the men will remove their kits
from the shop tomorrow. The committee
of the Iron and Brass Moulders' Union,
No l03, waited on General Manager W.
G. Fisher this afternoon and presented
an ultimatuln for the Introduction OF
day work at g minimum rate of So. 80 per
day and the abolishment of piece work,
the same as in all other New England
foundries. The demands were refused
and strike ordered.
At a meeting of the union this eve
ming nearly so travelling cards were is
suned to the General Electric moulders
who will leave the city as soon as they
receive the wages due them from the COM
pany. There is much uneasiness among
the 1900 or 1000 men in the other Lynn
factories of the General Electric Compa-
ny. and it is feared there may be more
trouble. The strikers will all march to
the office tomorrow forenoon to draw
their wages; after sthatsthere will be an
exodus of moulders from Lynn to seek
employment elsewhere. 1t is reported
that the General Electric Company IS Sc

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Rumor that the yanderbilts Win Soon
Control 1t.

Boston, October 16.-The most interest
ing bit of gossip afloat in financial circles
today was the rumor that the. Vanderbilts
are taking an active hand in Union
Pacific affairs.
Oonfrmatory evidence of this comes
from no less exalted an authority than
Coils P. Huntington, who says:
81 would not be surprised to hear Of
the Vanderbilts taking active manage
ment of the Union Pacific. They have
plenty of money to enable them to do SO,
and are able men.
'The Vanderbilts have not sought to
lease or get control of Central Pacific
They have nothing to do with it, and as
far as 1 know do not wish the property.
We have always been on good terms with
tho Vanderbilts. The Union Pacific
people have not asked us to come to their
assistance. If they had we might have
endeavored to join them in some
scheme.
United States Senator Thurston.
counsel for the Union Pacific, says that
he believes that the Vanderbilts will
eventually take the Union Pacific.

Fast Riding at Mousam Park-Wheelman

A QUEEN OF THE WAVES.
The New Battleship Indiana Proves
Herself.
HER UNOFFICIAL RUN is HIGHLY
SATISFACTORY.
She Carries the Heaviest Weight Yet and
Skins the Waves Like Pilot Boat
The Cramps Are Satisfied With Her

The Cramps Are Satisfied With Her
Performance.
Boston, October 16.-The battleship
Indiana was given preliminary run over
the official trial course today. So sue
cessful was the trial that when the boat
reached the upper end OF the course,
Edwin S. Cramp, decided it unnecessary
to speed her back again. The course from
Cape Ann to Boone Island, thirty one
knots, was marked by six can buoys at
equal distance apart Of 6.2 knots. The
forced draft was turned on seven miles
from the start. The starting point was
crossed at 10. 80; second buoy left astern
at 10. 55; third buoy passed at II. 20 fourth
at IL. .43 and the fifth at 1907 sixth at
IL SO.
The average speed for the run was
1881. Although the Cramps expected to
do fifteen knots easily with the boat,
they were more than pleased with the
showing she made on the run. The tide
was running against her rather fast, and
cut off probably three-fourths OF Knot.
Two particularly noticeable things were
developed in the run. One was the abso-
lutte absence of the usual vibration the
powerful engines of big ship make, and
the other was the wave cast by the DOW
of the ship. The torpedo tube in the
bow threw the water in lateral waves.
and instead of extending many feet on
each side Of the ship did not extend
much further than fifteen feet. Then
thcy converged sharply inwards and
clung to the vessels side, leaving no side
wave at all.
The vessel logged back at an easy
average speed of 1903 knots, passing the
last buoy on the return trip at lib The
engines of the Indiana arc with one ex-
ception, the finest ever turned out by the
Cramp company. While the engines of
the cruiser New York are the most per-
feet previously built by the Cramps,
those of the Indiana worked as we'll as
those of the New York on her trial trip
The engines ran as smoothly as II they
had been working for month. The aver
age revolutions of screws on the run up
was 1873, maximum 131. The steam
pressure was 159 pounds; air pressure IN
the fire rooms one inch of water; ninety
two hundred horse power was developed
which is 200 more than the anount for
which the engines were designed.
The run of the Indiana from Ph1ladei-
phia to Boston in the nasty head seas She
met, and this run under high pressure,
yindicated the title of American naval
constructors and American shipwrights
as the best in the world.
The Indiana, with the heaviest weight
of arlnor and guns above water. OF any
ship in the world, rides the seas like a
Yacht. The sea was smooth but the long
swell always felt on the ocean was run
ming. To those standing upon the deck of
the ship there was no more motion per-
ceptible than is felt IL crossing river in
ferry boat.
Friday the official run will be made.

ECONOMY

Is lot always virtue, sometimes it is
bordering on the criminal; that is, a
certain sind of economy, or economy
that is not economy at all. Making
MUSLIN UNDERWEAR at home
is false economy geat deal like 60
ing into the bowels of the1earth for
pennies when the crust is literally
covered with dollars. There is choice
in the readyto- wear Underwear.
Ours is manufactured for us by one
of the largest makers in the country
and our agreement with him is such
that only the cream of his goods hnds
it's way here. We NEVER have a
garment come back to us. and that's
why we have such unbounded falth
in our MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.
