CONS fIlUTloN WINS.
Beats the Columbia the Eighth Time
 By Few Seconds.

Larchmont N. r., August H.-Today's race between the Constitution and the Columbia was only matter of seconds. For the fourteenth time the two yachts finished contest and for the eighth time the Constitution came out a winner. To- day's margin was small. for she beat the Columbia only 5S seconds corrected time. In elapsed time she won by two minutes and IS seconds. The race was sailed un- der conditions that best suited the Con- stitution, steady eight knot breeze and a smooth sea. It was finished in hours and minutes, very nearly a ten knot gait, which was fast time, considering the wind and the fact that twelve miles of the course called for windward work. although it was not dead heat.

It has been washed out tof d ml'e "- Hio . with it's foundation being carried OIL ana in it's place is a vast quantity of tree trunks. driftwood and sawlogs. It will take several months work to re-establish the road and longer time to get 1t into its former perfection.

The train from Columbia, due here yesterday at D. m., reached Asheville this morning fifteen hours late.

Break at Mckeesport Expected.


 Pittsburg, August 17.-There is strong possibility that there will be an early break in the ranks of the strikers at Me- Keesport. Many of the unorganized men have become dissatisfied and make no secret of their threat to go bodily back to the National Tube Company. and ask for theirsplaces as soon as they gain suf- ficient following to withstand the pres- sure from the strikers or are given a guarantee of personal protection Sever al of them say they have every thing to lose and nothing to gain by staying out. They have made no demands in their own behalf of their employers. but are mere ly out in an effort to strengthen the hand of the Amalgamated Association. It Is also claimed that the sentiment Is shift ing round and that conservative opinion among business and professional classes favors the resumption of work by all men not directly connected in the strike. The Steel Corporation has made no move to- wards breaking the strike at McKees- port. but unquesuonably will do some thing if there is a further growth of the reactionary sentiment.
 Good Order Preserved.
 Good order has been preserved through out all the strike districts but it is be- lieved there will be violence in less than a week
 Monessen Is picked as one of the places where trouble Is expected. It is stirred to the fighting point by the plan to start the steel mill with non-union men. A force of the latter Is expected at the mill daily, and the strikers have patrolled the town in expectation of it's arrival They declare that the non-union men shall not be permitted to enter the mill, and the steel managers are just as de- termined that they shall.
 The plant has been put in a defensive condition, and arrangements have been made to house the workmen on the prop erty, and there Is no longer danger that they will be molested.
 President Shaffer today said: .
 "Ever since the United States Steel Cor poration was formed the plan for concen- trating plants fin towns where economical operations was the strongest feature has been discussed ard has been decided up- on. The only matter left to be settled YVES a favorable opportunity of carrying out this plan While business was so rushed 1t was decided to keep all mills in opera ton They would not have been moved for some time had It not been that the men refused to work in them under the conditions imposed by the officials of the company. Now that the mills are idle and the trust believes that they will be for some time. owing to the determined

Pittsburg. August 17-News that the fortunes with the strikers, supplemented by the telegraph announcement that the steel men in the Riverside plant at Wheeling had decided to cast their for tunes with the strikers, supplemented by the telegraph announcement that the steel men in the Riverside plant at Wheeling had voted to strike, awakened new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amal- gamated Association and it's followers. A dispatch from Milwaukee says:
 The Bay View men will strike. The vote on President Shaffer's order is said to have been unanimous after session of the lodge lasting five hours. The plant of the Illinois Steel Company at Bay View will be shut down indefinitely and about 14O0 men will be rendered idle"
 There has been some doubt as to the de- cision of the Milwaukee lodges and 1t was feared that if their action was adverse, Joliet might reconsider Its last vote and the Chances of winning Chicago would be greatly reduced. The Milwaukee vote ir- spires the hope that Chicago may be pre- vailed upon to reconsider it's vote.
 The strikers were highly enthusiastic over the news and renewed their assur- naces of complete confidence in the final successes in their contest against the United States Steel Corporation. The leading steel officials had retired when the news was received and no expression on the subject was obtainable from them.
 An officer in one of the subsidiary corn- panies said that it would merely make the steel corporation more determined.
 The information from Milwaukee and Wheeling came after a day of exceeding uuietude throughout the strike districts. The forces at the non-union mills in op- eration were not increased during the day and neither side made an important move.
 Men Demand More Pay.
 The employees of the Pennsylvania Tube Works in this city, controlled by the Na- tionai Tube Company, today made de- mand for general increase in wages. There are about 1000 employees in the works, and it is claimed that S75 of them have been organized. They threatened to join the strikers unless their demand was granted. Tn management agreed to meet a committee on Monday, and 1t Is be- lieved an advance in wages will be given. They are the first men outside the Anal gamated Association to couple demand in their own behalf with threat to strike
 The strikers are making a determined effort to extend their organization among the men employed by the great group of Carnegie mills. It is understood that they have secured foothold in the DuQuesnc property, and that the men who have joined them will be called out probably to- morrow or Monday. The officials of the company admit that they may lose some men, but say that the boast of the Amal- gamated Association to close the plant will never be fulfilled.

LATEST THING IN SALUTES.
Three simple Movements Noted In "a

Just now the cut OF mems clothes so
much In vogue because II is intended to
give n man with any sort of n shape or
even no shape at all military. athletic
looking appearance has introduced
with 1t a new way Of greeting your
male friends. 1t is sort OF modlfca-
ton OF the military officers salute aud
is very easy to learn and makes IA dis.
tingushed and graceful salute.
1t is also the very latest, and so II you
wear your clothes cut In the latest
fashion you OF course must not neglect
learning It. In making this salute you
must bear In mind that you are to sa-
lutte with the hand that is opposite TO
the person you wish 10 greet. Thus, IL
he Is to pass you on tour left you use
the right hand. and II he passes you on
your right you must employ the left
hand.
The salute. according to the Chicago
Record Herald, consists OF these three
simple movements: First, when the per-
son Is about seven PAGES away you
throw either the right or the left arm,
as the case may be. easily and graceful
ly up IN front or you, so the upper arm
is perpendicular to the body and the
forearm Is oblquely across the body, so
that the fingers touch the rim of your
hat near the front and center OF the
face; the hand is open. the palm being
nearest the face. and the fingers are
close together and slightly bent, with
the thumb hidden by being In front OF
the first finger and nearest the face.
Second. you incline slightly, and re-
move your hand about four inches In
front OF your face. Third, when the
person has passed you. you straighten
up and throw your arm smartly at the
side. You may then continue your walk
possessed OF the gratided feeling OF
having been strictly "in the mode" and
OF having greeted your friend with n
natural, graceful salute.

The shnmrocI.,. rIng.

The device OF the Ulster Yacht club
which Shamrock IL. flies on It's dag is a
bloody hand, says the London Chronl-
Gle. The tradition by which it takes its
place there is weird one. Two Irish
chieftains "sailed with sails" on the
sea in contest for the crown. Who
ever first touched the shore he should
be king. O'Neill, seeing his competitor
just ahead, took the rule literally and,
cutting OK his hand. flung it on land.
Sr Thomas Llplon takes the legend to
heart in the true spirit Of II, which he
reads as a lesson that the competition
should be keen one, demanding every
sacrifice and straining every nerve.
