SHELTERS TO REMAIN IDLE.
Managers and Strikers rs Far Apart
as Six Weeks Ago.

Denver Col. Aug. 1.-The announcement
made by the managers of the Trust smelt-

strikers return to work under the schedule
as proposed before the shutting down

the State Board of Arbitration. but they
will not accept the managers scale
Consequently the situation is exactly the
same as that OF six weeks ago. when the
lockout occurred. The Board OF Arbitra-
tons recommendations are cast aside, and
the fight is between men and managers

know nothing OF it. An idea OF what the
smelter shutdown means to the mining
districts can be formed when 1t is stated
that the output for the Cripple Creek dis
trict for July was 1,150, 900 tons, as against
100000 for June. The miners OF Cripple
Creek are somewhat Independent of the
smelter trust, as they smelt about Go per
cent OF their own ores. In other big
camps the showing is not so good.

THE CHALLENGER BEATEN.
The Third Race Goes to the Defender

Montreal, Aug. 1.-The Canadian defend
er Glencairn III won the third of the series
of races for the Seawanhaka Cup sailed on
St. Louis this afternoon, passing the fin
ishing line three minutes and six seconds
ahead of the American challenger Con-
stance. Today's course was at 10 wnd-
ward and return two miles each way and
sailed three times over, making a total
distance Of twelve miles. The race was
the most exciting one that has ever been
sailed for the Cup and was full Of sur
prises. At one time it was thought it
would be the Constance's race, but the fine
sailing of Duggan, the Canadian skipper,
enabled him to secure a victory and to
bring his beat across the line first. The
weather conditions, too. favored the de-
fender today.
The challenger has already shown her
superiority TO stand up in a stiff breeze to
windward, and it was unfortunate that be-
fore the race was half sailed the breeze
moderated considerably. The Constance
was rot able to make any appreciable gains
on the last two beats, while in the free
rUns, in a moderate breeze, the Glencairn
III outfooted her rival. Toward the close
the breeze had gone down SO much that it
became almost drifting match. Duggan

tics We're very clever The series now
stands two to one in favor of the Ameri-
cans.
Tomorrew's race will be over a trian-
gular course. and in a stiff breeze Crane
should be able to repeat his win, which
will finish the series and give the Cup to

Chicago, Aug 1.-The prospects Of vic

Building Trades Council has refused TO en-
Gorse the strike OF the union brickmakers

members declared the strike was ''uncalled

proposal that a sympathetic strike be or
dered by the council brought the matter

nothing to justify their action in quitting

that from 10000 to $4,000 men would go on
strike in sympathy with the brickmakers
