A Message Sent 15,OOO Miles in Exactly

Message Sent 16,OOO Mles ID Exactiy
 Four Minutes.
 NEW YORK. May lS.-It took the Post al Telegraph Co. exactly four minutes to send 8 message from this city to London and back, via Chicago, San Francisco, Vancouver. Montreal and Canso. The distance travelled was more than 15, GOO miles, and the feat is expected to prove the star feature Of the national electrical exposition being held here It is certainly without any equal in the history of telegraphy, and was regarded by Chauncey M. Depew as a magnificent illustra- ton of the progress in electrical science. This message was penned by the celebrated orator, and after its flight across the continent and it's re- turn to the eastern coast and its two swishes under the Atlantic, it was re- ceived and rewritten by Thomas A. Edison. It was agreed that the same message should also fly to the ends of civilization, and after T lapse of ex- actly 30 minutes it dashed back from the office to Tollio. It therefore took less than an hour for it to whiz to Lisbon, under the Mediterranean, past Egypt and the Indias, into the orient, and to fly back from the land of the mikado,

IS HURTING BUSINESS.
The Strike at the Armour Packing House
 Disastrous Affair.

The Strike at the Armour Packing HOuse a
 Disas astrous Affair.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, May. ls.-The 1000 striking employees of the Armour Packing Co:, ,--who have been thrown out of work represent both skilled and unskilled la bor, and while it is difficult to find out just how much they have been earning in the aggre- gate, it is believed that S2,000 day would be a fair estimate. Added to this is large loss to the live stock in- terest on account of the reduction of the killing operations at Armour's In April the Armour company paid out $500. coo for live stock. May prom. ised an even larger outlay of money for live stock. Instead of slaughter ing 1000 cattle daily, the Armour com pany is now slaughtering only 600, while the company has cut down the slaughter of hogs from 4,ooO day to 2,5OO day.

Nominated for That High Ofhce by the
 Chicago Labor ( ongress.
 CHICAGO, May ls.-Eugene V. Debs. was named for the presidency of the United States by the Chicago Labor congress yesterday. The resolution provoked discussion, which consumed three hours, but it was finally adopted by a slight majority. It was recited in the resolution that, as the corpora. tions, syndicates and trusts are seek. ing to have presidential candidates nominated who are in sympathy with the existing order of industrial things, labor, organized and unorganized, should be equally solicitous that a man be nominated who is known to be friendly to workers and wealth pro- ducers.
