independence Puts Up "a Stiff Fight
Against Columbia.
Newport, r. T., Aug. 3. - The Inde-
pendence had an opportunity yesterday
to show her mettle. Although defeated
by the Columbia, she was by no means
disgraced. Over triangular ocean
course of thirty miles in a breeze light
at the start and fresh at the finish the
conqueror of Shamrock I. beat her by
five minutes and fourteen seconds cor
rected time. The first ten miles of the
course was beat to windward The
Columbia at one time was nearly half
a mile in the lead, but as the wind
freshened the Independence picked W.
considerably. Then came a run down
the wind with the breeze on the star
board quarter. The Independence was
left far astern by the Columbia in this
leg. From the second mark to the
finish, off Brenton's lightship, it was a
reach with the wind little before the
port beam. In this leg the Independ-
ence did her best work Of the day.
She gained considerably at times and
going very fast. She sailed the last leg
of the course ten nautical miles. in
forty-five minutes and forty-five sec
onds, better than 10 knots an hour.

Fought Out to the Bitter End
Lenders Had Asked for a Further
Conference, Which Has Been Re-
fused-MOrEam's Proposals Werc
Considered Incomplete.

Pittsburg, Aug. 3. = The Commercial
Gazette says: The Amalgamated ex-
ecutive board received by telegraph a
flat refusal from j. Pierpont Morgan to
reopen the wage scale discussion where
1T was broken off at Hotel Lincoln
nearly three weeks ago. The powers
that be in the steel combine insist in
this communication that the only
terms of settlement of the strike will
be on the terms which President
"Schwah and Chairman Gary laid down
at the meeting with the Amalgamated
executive last Saturday. There is
scarcely a fragment of hope that the
Amalgamated association will back
down from its we'll known position.
and it is expected that the struggle will
be fought out to the bitter end.
Ultimatum to Morgan
Pittsburg, Aug. 5. - Another day of
suspense and the end not yet. The
third all-day session of the Amalgam-
.ated association executive board has
passed without action being taken on
the New York conference peace pro-
posals and another session will be held
to-day The executive board of the or
ganization is in fact waiting for
word from J. Pierpont Morgan.
After the board had heard from
President Shaffer concerning his trip
to New York last week. it was decided
to request q change in the proposition
of Mr.. Morgan and a message was
sent to Mr.. Morgan in New York on
Tuesday night announcing their de-
cision. In explanation of this matter
the Amalgamated Journal says:
1.-THE executive board desires another
conference with the representatives OF
the constituent companies and will re-
main in the city until an answer is re-
~ceived. Upon that answer will depend
whether the strike will be prolonged
Indefinitely"
The message sent to Mr.. Morgan,
while not so stated, is believed to be
An Ultimatum
to the head of the United States Steel
corporation. 1t is viewed as such by
the labor leaders about Pittsburg. II
the steel workers do not get their de-
mand for this conference the strike
will so on indefinitely. None of the
officials of the organization would dis
cuss this Point. They still maintained
their silence and said they had nothing
to give out. The executive board had
been in session all day and in a formal
manner while waiting for reply from
Mr.. Morgan, the members decided to
deny the report that there was lack of
harmony in their ranks. Whatever
differences have arisen are said to-
have been adjusted and the board
stands as a unit in it's demand for the
renewal of conference with the man.

ponds upon this. The propositions OF
Mr. Morgan are said by one high In

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT AT TRAIN
ROBBING BY FIVE MASKED
MEN.
THEY BLOW Up the WRONG CAR

Robbers Then Disappear I'm the

Shot at by Robbers.


Ohio passenger train from the east
Central depot, Chicago, at 9 o'clock
last night, was held up by five masked
men at 8 o'clock last night between
Edgemore and Grand Calumet
Heights Ind, thirty-one miles out
from Chicago. One of the mail cars
which contained no money was dyna-
mited and wrecked. The attempt at
robbery was made after the two mail
cars had been detached from the train
and run a quarter of a mile ahead.
The failure of the robbers to make a
rich haul was due to the fact that the
express car, which contained the
trains treasure, was in an unusual
place. 1t was the third car in the
train. After wrecking the mail car and
obtaining no booty the robbers disap-
peared in the darkness without at
tempting to rectify their mistake. The
only loot that they carried away With
them as a result of their adventure
was the gold watch of the engineer.
The train was the New York and
Washington vestibule limited. Most
of the trainmen We're Shot a and had
narrow escapes from the bullets. NO
person was injured either by the dyna-
mite or firearms. The place where the
robbery occurred is a lonely district in
which few people live and houses are
far between. No better place for Il
train robbery could be desired by the
robbers.
After the escape of the robbers the
train was hastily made up and came
on to Chicago, arriving here somewhat
late. a stop having been made at
Whiting to report the robbery. OF
ficers were at once sent after the rob-
bers and within an hour after the ROB-
berry a large posse was on their trail.
