SITUATION IN THE STATE.
Fewer Men Out in Hartford Than Ex.
 pectcd-Additions Expected.

The situation throughout Connecti- cut is quiet at the end of the first day of the machinists strike. The total number of men out in the cities of the state with the exception of Hartford approximates closely the claims of the unions at the opening of the conflict, and scattered additions during yester- day indicate that the machinists have at least lost no ground. At Hartford the strikers numbered about 2,500 last night, including the lockedout opera tives, 1000 less than was expected. The men there are, however, confident and look for additions during the next few days.
 The shops of the Consolidated road, heretofore unaffected, threaten to be- come involved through the discharge to-day of four men, against whom, the labor leaders claim, discrimination was made on account of their allegiance to the organization. No action has beey taken with reference to this, but it is intimated in several quarters that re- talatory measures may follow
 At Bridgeport, both sides are await ing developments. About 400 men are out, and the shops are running with half forces. The manufacturers assert that they will shut down rather than yield to the demands Of the men.
 At Waterbury some $50 men are out, and additions are expected tomorrow. No conferences as to settlement have taken place.

THE MACHINlSTS' STRIKE.
THE ALLIED TRADES NOT YET
 MUCH AFFECTED.

Only One or Two Instances Where Men
 Have Gone Out In sympathy-Reports
 from Various Cities of the Number o1
 Men Out-President O'Conncll Says
 GOA Firms Have Thus Far Signed the
 Agreement, Aggregating 35,O00 Men.
 Washington, May Approximately 60O0O machnists throughout the coun- try struck to-day for nine-hour day, a scale of wages equal to the present ten-hour per day scale! and other de- mands. This is the rough estimate of President O'Connell of the National Association of Machinists, based on the telegraphic advices of the ma chinists from headcuarters
 The strike thus far has not extended to the allied trades save in one or two instances as at Scranton, Pa. No ma chinists engaged in governmental work are affected This is due to the fact that on such work an eght-hour a day scale already prevails. Railway ma chinists as a rule are not involved in the strike, although the men on several roads are out.
 Following is a statement of the num- Der of men out at some of the import ant points: Hartford 1,500, Ansonia and Derby 800, Cincinnati, completely tied up and 5000 men out; Connorsville, Ind, 200; Palestine, Tex, 2O0 York, Pa., 800: East Orange, N. J., 300; Os- wego, N. Y., 300; Norfolk, Va, all shops out, 800.
 Word from other large cities is tardy in reaching here. Photographic reports to Mr. O'Connell show the following as the number of firms which signed the agreement to-day:
 Kenloshawa, all: Milwaukee. five; Wilmington, Del, two Toledo, one; Auburn, N r.. all: Ananconda. Mont, all; Denver, Col. all; St. Louis, all; New Orleans, all; Danbury, Conn.,, all; Pittsburg, Pa, 90 per cent; Franklin, Pa, all; Youngstown, O., all; Cleve- land, 15 per cent; Rochester, 90 per cent.

SHAMROCK IT. SHOWS HER HEELS.
In Seven Miles She is Forty-dve Seconds
 Faster Than the old Challenger.

Ryde, Isle of Wight, May 20.-The two Shamrocks started this morning for a race over an open-sea course, the first leg of which is a beat to Calshot castle to mark outside the Nab light ship. The wind was steady from the east and was blowing p club topsail breeze.
 Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin lowed the yachts clear of the Isle of Wight and then both set their big jackyard- topsails over all their lower canvas The challengers new cross- cut mainsail, though hoisted for the first time, seemed to sit to perfection, better even than the mainsail of the Shamrock l.
 When the Erin gave the signal to start, the challenger, as usual, was kept a trif1e in hand. She followed the Shamrock l. about three lengths astern, but a length to windward. In a fine fresh breeze the boats heeled over to the press of their enormous sails, making great progress The first tack was to starboard and they fetched along ten or fifteen minutes, both lying equally close to the wind and appar- ently footing at about the same speed. The Shamrock I tackled, and the chal- lenger also came round under her weather quarter. The challenger then pulled up, and the yachts fetched along, beam for beam, in a long, fast leg toward the island shore.
 When they next went about they were still close together, but as they hove about at different times there was considerable gap. As they stood off again in a northeasterly direction at this time, half an hour from the start, the boats appeared to be practically on the same footing as when they started Neither had secured an ap- preciable advantage.
 Turning at the weather-mark the boats started sheets and reached along the wind for an island shore breeze. Soon after they jibed around Athe Erin, still in close company, but with the Shamrock II. leading. The booms went went over with sheets well out for a broad and easy reach for the line, whence they started. The challenger

MAT RES ULT FATALLY.
A Stabbins AfYray Which Occurred on
 East Street Last Night.

A cutting affray which may have a fatal ending occurred about 10:3O last evening, and two Italians are now lock- l ed up at the Grand avenue police sta ton on charges of breach of the peace and carrying concealed weapons, which may be changed to more serious
 charges.
 It seems that John McKeon, of Ham ilton street, and Benjamin Sickel, of No. 127 Lloyd street, were walking down East street, near Grand avenue, when they were assaulted by three Ital-
 ians, one of whom began throwing beer
 bottles at SickePs head. The latter ob-
 jected strongly, and then one of the
 Italians rushed upon him and pulling knife, stabbed him three times. once in the left side of the abdomen, onte in the under part of the left arm near the shoulder, gouging out large piece of flesh, and once between the ribs on the left side. The Italians then ran away and McKeon secured assistance.
 Sickel was taken home in the police ambulance and Dr. Moore and Dr. Gay nor, police surgeons, were called to at tend him. It was feared at o'clock this morning that his wounds would prove fatel. After the affair occurred Patrolmen Hanrahan, Flynn, Schroeder and Trainor were sent out to find the assailants. They went to No. 576 Grand avenue, where they heard that the three Italians had gone. As the policemen entered the place Nicolio Florio an Italian about forty years of age, rushed out of an inner room with revolver in his hand and threatened to shoot the policemen if they touched him. The policemen seized him and took the re- volver away before he could shoot, and placed him under arrest. They also ar- rested at the same house an Italian named Antonio Cofangele. about twen- ty-four years of age, whom McKeon positively identified as the man who had stabbed Sickel. McKeon identified Florio as the man who threw the beer bottles.
 Sickel was taken to the New Haven hospital about 230 o'clock this morn ing.
