WORCESTER'S
TOWN Me E1T|NG.
One Thousand Voters Gather
in Mechanics Hall.
ALDERMEN DENOUNCED.
Enthusiasts For the Eight Hour Law
Adopt Resolutions Demanding the
Vote of the Board be Rescinded
and the Question be Placed
on the City Ballot.

For two hours last night, Worcester
relegated itself to the days of its
early struggles for eminence in the
manufacturing world, and town meet
ing was in session in Mechanics hall
No rural New England town ever OBJ
served it's opportunity for free speech
in more democratic fashion. There was
a novelty in town meeting which at
tracted nearly a thousand voters who
grasped the chance to voice their de-
mands in public, but only the more
rabid enthusiasts were heard.
While distinctively the chance of To-
cal labor organizations to protest
against the vote of the aldermen on the
eight-hour question, there was a flavor
of socialistic doctrine which was not
gracefully countenanced, even by the
labor leaders, who had discovered that
the city charter gave voters the right
to call town meeting for discussion OF
any public question.
Thomas P. Abbott, local socialist

fairs. Moderator Frey heard, but could
not check the speaker. No one knew
what his next sentence would be.
Alderman Kendall and Street Com
missioner Prior were sharply arraign-
ed by Jefferson d. Pierce, and every
word of condemnation brought cheers
from the hundreds who closely follow
ed every utterance. City Clerk Towne'S
task was not pleasant one, but both
he and Moderator Frey confined their
remarks only to those necessary in
performance of the duties Of the offices
they held.
Resolutions asking that the vote of
the aldermen on the eight hour law in
relation to having it made a part of
the city ballot, be rescinded, we're
unanimously adopted. This was the
sole accomplishment of town meeting,
but 1t gave the members of labor UNI
ions the chance they sought to show
that hundreds of voters have interest
ed themselves in the eight hour ques-
ton, and seek the right of balloting on
the adoption of the law.

ing a generous share of the time, but

London, Nov. 2.-The breakdown of

monopolization of the available tele-

officers, is responsible for the fact that
nothing further has arrived from South
Africa. The government has received
dispatches giving the casualty list.

A THOROUGH SUCCESS.

A THOROUGH SUCCESS.

New York, Nov 1.-The United States
steamship New York, flagship of the
Atlantic squadron, and the battleshir
| Massachusetts left their anchorage in
the North river today, after being en-
ployed for three days in evolutions for
the purpose of demonstrating the work
ing of the Marconi system of wireless
telegraphy under various conditions.
The operations were under the direc-
ton of three naval officers, namely:
Lieut.. Commander j. T. Newton
aboard the New YorkJ w Bliss, with
the instruments, at Navesink, N. j..
and Lieut.. F. *. Hill, on board the Mas
sachusetts. Mr. Marconi was handi-
capped by incomplete instruments,
which had been brought to the United
States simply for the purpose of re-
porting the international yacht races,
and was unable to give the government
as thorough demonstration of the
capabilities of the apparatus as he
would have wished But the result of
the working of the three sets of instru-
ments employed in the tests of the past
three days was to show the government
board that there is practical utility in
the system.
The members of the government
board will be obliged to call attention
to the fact that during these tests 1t
was possible for any instrument located
within the circumscribed radius of
transmission to destroy the effective
ness of either instruments at any time.
While the Massachusetts, for instance,
was telegraphing TO the New York, the
operator at Navesink sent message at
the same time, and the result on the
receiving side of the New York's set
was a tumble of undeeipherable char
acters, caused by the two sets of cleo
trical impulses reaching the instrument
at the same time.

Royal Send-off in
New York.
CARRIER PIGEONS RELEASED.
Bear Sir Thomas
Last Greetings to
America.

New York, Nov. 1.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton sailed away today for his home
in England. AS a tribute of the esteem
in which he is held by a great many
people, he received a great reception at
the American line pier, where he went
on board the ST. Louis, and series of
informal receptions from thousands of
people.
He also received word of the presen-
tation of the loving cup, which will be
ready FOR him by Christmas. Sir
Thomas and a few friends left the ho-
tel at $50 to go to the Astor house to
meet tho loving cup committee"
All the way to the American line
pier Sir Thomas Upton got a recep-
ton tina. surprised him.
People lined up on the sidewalks and
cheered him, and many rushed out to
shake hands with Sir Thomas as his
carriage slowly passed. At Washing
ton market a lot of market men in
their working clothes ran out and
stopped the carriage, making Sir
Thomas shake hands with them. He
was soon surrounded by longshoremen,
street sweepers and vendors, and Sir
Thomas smiled as he shook hands right
and left.
Sir Thomas and his party ascended
to the second floor of the American line
pier, where a platform had been erect
ed. On the platform was floral rep
resentation of the Shamrock, with hull
of immortelles and sails of white silk
The sea was made of white and yellow
chrysanthemumS.
After accompanying the st. Louis
below the narrows on her way to
Southampton, the Shamrock and Erin
turned about and came up the bay.
The St. Louis carried to sea eight
homing pigeons, furnished by Howard
Carter, who has charge of the naval
homing pigeon service at the Brooklyn
navy yard. These birds were dispatched
with messages to Commodore j. Pier
pont Morgan of the New York Yacht
club; D. Barrie, Sir Thomas represent
alive in this country; the secretary Of
the New York Press club, and others
The pigeons were released at Has a.
m, when the st. Louis was three miles
off the Sandy Hook lightship.
The message to the secretary of the
Press club is as follows:
Am now passing Sandy Hook light
ship. Give all the boys my kind love.
Am looking forward to the pleasure of
spending another jolly night with you
all. Many thanks for all your kind
ness. Good bye to all.

SHAMROCK DETAINED.
Nasty Weather Holds the Yacht at
Her Moorinqs.

New York, Nov. lat her berth off
Tompknsville, the yacht Shamrock is
lying at anchor, rolling gently in the
swell that gives warning of the ire
mendous sea outside, and into which it
would be folly to send the Shamrock
and her consort, the steam yacht Erin.
After bidding farewell to Sir Thomas
Upton off Fort Hamilton this morning,
the captains anchored both yachts off
Staten Island.
Navigator Hamilton, who was seen
on board the Shamrock, this afternoon,
said 1--WE shall lie here until the wea-
Their clears. and shows some sign of
being moderate"
That means that he will not sail to-
night. and perhaps not tomorrow, as
the barometer is still quite low Every
thing about the Shamrock's deck shows
careful preparation for all kinds Of
weather. Secured by double wire
strap around the mast is an immense
galvanized iron hook, to which the
hawser Is to be hooked whenever 1t be-
comes necessary for the Erin to tow
the Shamrock. Below is stored plenty
of food of the best quality.
Navigator Hamilton has three chro-
nometers, two sextants and all the
modern charts and appliances for locat-
ing his position at sea. He intends to
sail a southern course, keeping on the
edge of the Gulf stream as much as
possible.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The follow
ing letter has been received from Gen.
Joseph Wheeler in the Philippines:
Santa Reta, Isle of Luzon,
Sept IS, 1892
Van Leer Kirkmcn:
My Dear Young Cousin-I have now
seen much of the country and the people
in that part of Luzon for about so miles
north of Manila.
In every town there is a magnificent
stone church and a convent or monas-
terry. The insurgents have a great an
tipathy to the priesthood or friars, and
they have dismantled many of the
churches. The value Of the church and
monastery of a town seems to be equal
in many cases to the value of all the
other buildings in the town.
The more talk to the people, the
