MACHINISTS ARE WINNING
 2 Yesterday 12O Firms Granted the Nine Hour Day.

President O'Connell Looks for Early
 Settlement of the Trouble-Strike is
 Likely to Stop Work on the Naval
 Transports Egbert and Rosecrans
 Condition of Strike in Other Places.
 Washington, May p. President O'ConneH said last night that the ad- vices received up to 6 o'clock at head quarters here indicated that an early settlement of tae trouble between the machinists and employees will be eff fected, Information at hand showed that during the day over 12O firms had settled by granting the nine-hour day.
 MT O'Connell said that so far as he knew about 5000 men are out in San Francisco and about 5000 i'll Cincin nati. Tn Chicago nearly all the inn portant shops have settled with the men. The reports from the South, he said, show that all through that sec ton settlements are being effected. Half the firms in Philadelphia, he said have come to terms and the oth- CTS are expected to follow suit. There has been no news of a clash anywhere.
 Both the navy and the war depart ment are appfehenSive as to the, ef- fleets of the macl.iniStS' strike on gov elnment work now in progress. The navy departments received word that the strike had spread to large private wards on the Pacific coast where number of war vessels are under con- struction, and it is expected that east ern yards having naval ships to build will also be affected.
 The war department was informed that the strike was likely to stop wolI on the two naval transports Egbert and Rosecrans, now repairing on the Pacific coast. Secretary Root asked the navy department to assist in for warding the work pending the tie up, and Acting Secretary Hackett of the navy ordered that the two army trans ports be taken to the navy yard at Brenmerton, on Puget sound, for the completion of their repairs.
 None of the government yards can be affected by the strike. as an eight hour day prevails in all government work Word has reached the depart ment that government employees are contributing funds in support of the strike movement. but no attention will be paid to the matter.
 New Britain, Conn, May 22.-There is no change in the strike situation here this morning.

PAYMENT IN GOLD.

Berlin, May 22.-It is authoritativeiy announced that the powers will agree to require the present Chinese import. duties to be paid in gold, which is equivalent to doubling the duties The same payment will also probably be required in the case of the salt and opium tax.
 Germany is apparently averse to in- terfering with the liking dues, since they are too complicated, requiring to much administrative machinery and too much mixing in the internal affairs of China.
 Officials here admit the powers are likely to divide into two groups upon the method of settlement, some follow-. ing Great Britain in favor of loan and others supporting payment through increased revenues 1t is not expected, however, that q disagreement will dis. turb the present harmonious action

DESMONDS PUNISHMENT
Many Comments on the Severe
 Sentence Imposed.
Judge Burpee Says It Was Bad Case and as the Man Pleaded Guilty the < Punishment Was None Too Great The Judge Says He Is Not Counsel For Benedict & Burnham.

Y VI l1ClCulCLa ID E.
 A matter that created much com, ment yesterday was the sentence i'm posed by Judge Burpee upon Cornelius Desmond, a Derby machinist on strike, who assaulted his former foreman, William H. Eyer, Monday afternoon. Eyer is foreman at Benedict $ Burn hams machine room and he parted with Desmond some months ago on unfriendly terms. Desmond said then that he would get square with Eyer the first opportunity that presented itself. It came Monday with the re suit already known. Desmond was fined $25 and costs and was sentenced to three months in jail Judge Burpee was engaged in the superior court all day yesterday, consequently he could not be seen about this matter.
 This morning after city court he was told of the talk his sentence on the case against the striking machinist had aroused
 Why, the man pleaded guilty said the judge.
 Ut was said that because you are counsel for some of the factories you imposed such q heavy sentence"
 ''I'm not counsel for Benedict & Burnham's. But anyway, whether or no, that would not cut any figure in the matter. This man pleaded guilty. It was bad3case. A premeditated as- sault for no reason whatsoever
 "But the man said he had trouble with the foreman, you will remember and you probably do not know that matters of that kind occur every day"
 Even so," said the judge, .'the ac- cused pleaded guilty to the charge. It was a bad case; one man jumping out on the other"
 Ut seems to be the idea of a great many that your reason for imposing such a heavy sentence was"
 "The man pleaded guilty, and it was a sad case. That's all there's to it."

SHAMROCK IL WRECKED.
King Edward, Who. Was on Board,
 Had Narrow Escape.


 Had Narrow Escape.
 London. May 22-During the race between the two Shamrocks and the Syberita in the Solent today, sudden squall struck the yachts. The topmast of the Shamrock II was carried away and then her nlainmast went by the board, carrying all her sails with it and leaving her practically wreck. The topsail of the Shamrock was al so carried away in the squall. No one was injured on board the yachts.
 King Edward, who was on board the Challenger, had miraculous escape from being killed. The disaster ac- cured when preparations were being made for the start off Brambles buoy.
 There was some delay in establish ing starting line. The wind freshened considerably and blew twelve to if teen knots an hour with the prospect of magnificent racing. King Edward desiring to take an active part in the proceedings, was taken on board the challenger, accompanied by Sir Thom- as Lipton and two ladies. While the yachts were maneuvering for start a sudden squall came up without the slightest warning and the bowsprit was broken away short. The extra strain thus thrown on the topmast proved too much for the spar. It whipped, broke and doubled off to the leeward, carrying the whole weight of the backyard and gear over the side in a terrible tangle. Almost as the topmast fell the great steel mainmast, weighing over couple of tons and carrying spars and gear, weighing an additional three or four tons, swayed for q moment and then almost by a miracle plunged over the side and into the water. The members of the royal party were seated on the deck close to the companionway. The king was showing keen pleasure watching the fiGE.t Captain Sycamore was making fc> advantage in the start. The yacht was racing along at a formidable angle and the sloping deck with a mere fringe of rail served rather perilous place for the accommodation of yis- Nors. As the Wreckage swept the deck it was most astonishing that no no one was injured. For a minute or two the situation appeared grave King Edward maintained his compos- ure. Most of the head men had been dashed into the sea. As quickly as possible the king and his royal party were taken on board the Erin and ac- companied by Sir Thomas Lipton. landed at Southampton. from which placed they left for London.

 Lyme. May 22.-The steamer Hart ford of the Hartford and New York Transportation Go, plying between Hartford and New York, ran aground on Calves Island early this morning while slow ly picking her way through the dense fog which hung over the harbor last E!ght.

Just how the steamer happened to be out of her course is not known at present The captain states that no light was yisi- ble on the island.
