a reduction are the employees of the bleach

part of the LOnsdale Company, employs
about $50 hands. The Manvifle Company, at
Manville, employs between 1880, and 1900
operatives This is the only industry in a

CYCLER TAYLoRE HURT
UNABLE TO FINISH HIS RACE WITH
FRANK j. STARBUCK.
His Machine Smashed, She alder Dis
Shooter Gilbert Defeats Elliot.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-The twenty
mile paced race between Eduard .Taylore,
the Frenchman, and j. Frank Starbuck,
of this city, at Saenger Hall tonight, was
spoiled by an unfortunate accident to Tay-
lore The accident occurred on the sixth
mile. Taylore at that time had gained a
lead of one lap, which at Saenger Hall is
one-tenth of mile. On the next lap the
tandem team took him at a terrific clip
around the tureen-shaped course. AS the
foreigner turned into the home stretch the
spill took place. Taylore's wheel dashed
up the incline toward the outside of the
track and machine and rider brought up
against post, the wheel being smashed
and Taylore rebounding and falling on the
track. He managed to get out of the road
just as Starbuck and his PAGERS came tear
ing around the turn, or otherwise more
might have been hurt Taylores right
shoulder was thrown out of place and his
left knee Wrenched.
While the race lasted Taylore impressed
the 5000 spectators with his ability, many
comparing him with Jimmy Michael Star
buck, too rode in splendid shape, and his
time of 1928 for five miles shows. TaylOre
got the lead at the start, and for the first
mile it was a regular procession Then the
foreigner began to draw away. At the end
of the second mile Taylore was almost
lap to the good, and when the nishap oc-
Cured he was over a lap ahead. After that
Starbuck reeed off mile after mile at d
steady clip merely covering the twenty
miles required to secure first money. The

Governor Taylor Causes Surprise by
Entering the Contest.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 15.-This after
noon Governor Taylor formally announced
that he would be d candidate for election
to the United States Senate by the Legis-
lature which meets in extra session next
Monday Taylor headquarters have been
opened and the friends of the Governor
who approve of this step are hard at work
tonight among incoming members of the
Legislature This announcement by the
Governor caused a decided sensation, for
he has repeatedly and publicly stated he
was for and would work for the election
of Senator Turley, his appointee. There
will be three candidates before the Demo

man McMillin and Governor Taylor-ard

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 15-The question of
defense fund caused a lively debate in the
convention Of the United Mine Workers just
before adjournment this evening. A reso-
luton was introduced providing that a de-
Tense fund be created, the fund to remain
unmolested Until 100000 had accumulated
This condition provoked storm of dis
cussion, the opposition to it coming chiefly
from Illinois, where there are several small
strikes now in progress. 1t was claimed
that such provision would prevent miners
now on a strike receiving aid from the ma
tional organization when they most needed
it, While the opposition was in the minority,
the fight which it put up was so vigorous
that it prevented the adoption of the reso-
luton, and it was referred back to the COM
mittee to formulate bylaws to govern the
use of the defense fund. This plan will
be submitted to the delegates in Chicago.
There was sharp slxrmish over the
moval of the national headquarters of the
organization from Columbus, as recon-
mended by President Ratchford. President
Ratchford favored Cleveland, but a combi-
nation was made which led to Indianapolis
being chosen as the location for the head
quarters. The final vote on the proposition
stood 234 in favor of indianapolis to 1873 for
Columbus. The headquarters have been To-
Gated in Columbus ever since the United
Mine Workers organization was formed in
this city in 1890.
The convention voted to appropriate $500
to assist a strike of engineers and railway
employees in England. 1t was decided to
hold the next convention in Pittsburg the
second Tuesday in January, 1899.
The delegates to the convention, about
two hundred in number, will leave to-mor-
row for Chicago to attend the joint confer
ence with the operators. There was an
effort during the convention to ADOPT policy
to be followed in the joint convention, but
it failed 1t was proposed to select certain
delegates to act as spokesman in the con-
ference, but objection was raised on the
ground that there was no gag rule, and the
proposition was promptly voted down. All
the delegates will now have the privilege
of speaking in the joint conference. The
delegates will go into the conference de-
manding first an advance of 10 cents per
ton in the price of mining, and, second,
an eight-hour working day The whole
question of differentials is left open and
will probably be settled by the operators,
as there is "a greater contest among them
over the question than among the miners.
The Pittsburg operators favor wiping out
the differential in the price of mining which
has so long been accorded the Ohio district.

LIFE IMPOSSIBLE ON JUPITER.
Bones of n Man Would Snap Beneath

Science MONTH.


Judged by our terrestrial experience. which IS

may be too large ever to become the abode CT
living beings of high organization. The s5rte
of gravitation the surface of Jupiter exceeds
that on the earth's surface 204 to 1. Consider
ing the effects of this the weight and motion
of bodies the density of the atmosphere, the laws
of pneumatics etc. it Is evident that Jupiter
would. to say the very least be exceedingly
bling ourselves. But Jupiter, if it is ever to be-
enormously in volume, since its density is only
0.24 as compared with the earth. Now, the STR
face gravity of planet depends on its mass and
its radius, being directly the former and in.
versely the square of the latter But in shrink
age Jupiter will lose none of its mass, although
it's radius will become much smaller. The rorce

face as the planet gets smaller and more dense
The present mean diameter of Jupiter is S6.h0
miles, while it's exceeds that of the earth
in the ratio of 316 to l. Suppose Jupiter shTuDk
to three-quarters Of it's present diameter or eioC
miles. then its surface gravity would exceed the
earth's nearly FIVE times. With one-1dlf of its
present diameter the surface gravity would te-
come more than ten times that of the earth. ON
such a planet a man bones would snap beneath
his weight even granting that he could reIna in
upright at all! 1t would seem, then, that unless
we are apt to abandon terrestrial analogies Alto
gether and ''go it blind we must set an upper
limit to the magnitude of a habtable planet, ana
that Jupiter represents such upper limit II, IN
deed, he does not transcend ii.

lott by a Score of DC to 81.
NEW YORK RJan. 15.--Fred Gilbert, of
Spirit Lake, Ia, defeated j. A. r. Elliott,
the wing shot from Kansas City, in 100
bird match for the Dupont championship
trophy and 800 a side to-day at Dexter
Park, l.. l., by a score of 96-91 The match
was shot in a drizzling rain that did not
deter two hundred enthusiastic sportsmen
from wading more than half a mile in a
slough of yellow mud to view the match
Elliott was a slight faNorite in the betting
before the start, but after the first twenty
five pigeons had left the traps every indi-
cation pointed to victory for Gilbert. The
birds were unusually fast, and with any
wind would have made high scores impossi-
BILE. On the other hand, the dull gray sky
and the misty atmosphere made the work
of the shooters especially difficult at times
In the first quarter of the journey Elliott,
who was first at the traps, missed his third
and eighth. In his second string he missed
his twentieth. His third quarter of the
match recorded three misses, his seven
teenth, twentieth and twenty-fourth, while
in the last twenty-five he failed to stop his
fourth, ninth and twelfth. The last two
fell dead out of bounds. Gilbert missed his
tenth and twenty-fourth birds in his first
twenty-five. They dropped dead out of
bounds. He shot his second string straight,
missed his fifteenth in the third quarter
second in the last string, a grand total of
ninety-six kills. The Eien were tied
at the first twenty-five, but then Gilbert
half of the journey he led by one bird,
which he increased as the match pro-
crossed Elliott handled by Fred Van
Dyke, and Ed Bingham, the Chicago crack,

scores:

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Thomas Estrada
Palma, the Cuban delegate to America, was
not in the city tonight. DR.. J. Castillo, who
is familiar with Cuban affairs, also could
not be located. The Cubans at the various
Cuban centers who were spoken to about
the killing of Brigadier General Delgado.
do not speak well of him. They assert that
before the present war he was highway
man. Their opinion is that his followers
wanted him to surrender to the Spaniards
and that when he refused they killed him.
His chief of staff, Louis Lopez Marin, they
think surrendered to save his neck Their
belief is that the rest of Delgado's follow
ers. who are not many, are likely to go over
to the SpaniardS also.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 15.-Noth-
ing, apparently, can prevent a strike of all
the operatives in the cotton mills in this city
Monday morning. All attempts at adjusting
the differences between manufacturers and
operatives have failed. The operatives of
twenty-five mills, numbering $3.50 hands,
will be forced into idleness, and S75 800
spindles and q SIG looms will be hushed.
The operatives were paid to-day in all the
mills for last weeks work. Pay day for
this weeks work will be next Saturday, and
a significant fact, and one showing that the
manufacturers intend TO insist on the 10 per
cent reduction, is that all the cloth was
removed from the rolls in several of the
mills, that the operatives may be paid on
the old schedule.
