This the Estimate of Presi-
dent of Machinists.
AGREEMENTS IN SIGHT
BE Believes the Demands of 90 Per
Cent of the Men Will Be Granted.
ALLIED METAL TRADES READY
Prepared to Go Out Whenever the
AIachinists Think the
Time Is Ripe.

Washington, May 22.-President o'Con-
nell of the International Association OF
Machinists estimates that the number of
machinists engaged in the strike to-day
is 10000. He claims to be satisfied with
the situation and has confidence in the
result. He said:
BY next Monday morning probably 80 per
cent Of the men who went out will be back
at work with their demands granted. The
other 10 per cent are mostly on the Pacific
coast and IN several Ohio cities. San Fran
cisco is the only place where We look for a
protracted strike. The situation there is
good and the strike may cover several weeks.
No important developments are reported at
Cincinnati, though about fifteen small firms
have signed the agreements. The situation
also is unchanged at Hamilton, Dayton and
Alliance, Ohio and Tacoma and Seattle
Wash. Reports from all other sections indi-
cate that negotiations are progressing and
that agreements are in sight.
President Mulholland of the Allied Metal
Trades association, comprising the semi
skilled men in machine shops, has notified
the maehinists' headquarters here that he

involve any more men in the movement
than is necessary and the indications are
that there will be no general augmenta-
tion of the force of the strikers by the
allied men.
Kansas City adviees indicate that nine
firms there signed to-day, leaving approx
mately 500 men still out. All of the four
teen firms in Hoboken, n. J., have signed.
In Buffalo twenty-five firms are reported
as having made agreements with the
strikers. At Sharon, Pa, the Continental
Iron company has signed. and the Halle
ton Iron Works and the Janesyille Iron
Works at Hazleton, Pa, have made the
concessions.

Squall Strikes and Dismasts the Cha-

Great Steel Mainmast Plunges Over the Side
Into the Water, While King Edward and
Party Are Seated on Deck.

southampton, May 22-The cup chal-
lenger with King Edward and party on
board, was totally dismasted to-day by
squall off Cowes, Isle of Wight. The king,
who was on deck, had a miraculous escape
1855 p. m.-During the race be-
tween the two Shamrocks and the
Sybarita, in the Solent to-day. a sudden
squalI struck the yachts. The topmast of
the Shamrock II. was carried away. and
then her mainmast went by the board,
carrying all her sails with it and leaving
her practically a wreck. The topsail of
the Shamrock I. was also carried away in
the squall.
No one was injured on board the yachts.
The disaster occurred while prepara-
tions were being made for the start off the
Brambles buoy
There was fine, fresh easterly breeze,
driving short, white e-tipped sea up the
channel when the three yachts set their
club topsails shortly after noon and pro-
ceeded to the starting point. There was
some delay in establishing a starting line
The wind freshened considerably and blew

pect Of magnificent racing
King Edward, desiring to take more
active part in the proceedings that was
possible from the deck of the Erin, was
taken on board the challenger, accom-
panied by Sir Thomas Upton and two
ladies.
The preliminary starting signal was
given from the Erin. While the yachts
were manoeuYering for the start a squalI
came without the slightest warning, and
the bowsprit of the challenger was car
ried away short. The extra strain thus
thrown on the topmast proved too much
for the spar. 1t whipped. broke and
doubled off to Ieeward, carrying the whole
weight of the jack yard and gear over the
side in a terrible tangle.
Almost as the topmast FELL the great
steel mainmast, weighing more than two
tons, and earring spars and gear weighing
an additional three or four tons, swayed

for moment and then, almost by mir
acle, plunged over the side into the water,
with the ripping, tearing sound of break
ing wire and tearing gear in the air.
The members of the royal party were
seated on deck close to the companionway.
The king was showing keen. pleasure,
watching the fight which Captain syca-
more was making for the advantage at
the start. The yacht was racing along
at formidable angle, and the sloping
deck, with mere fringe of rail- seemed
a rather perilous place for the accommoda
tion of the visitors. AS the wreckage
swept the deck it was most, astonishing
that no one was injured For moment
or two the situation appeared to be very
grave. The king maintained his COM
posure.
Most of the headmen went overheard.
Within five seconds of the disaster the
Shamrock l. bore around to render as
slstance, when she, in turn, was caught
by the squall and her gaff and topsail
spars collapsed, leaying her helplessly
crippled.
The press tug, following the racers.
ranged alongside the helpless yachts and
a torpedo boat which was in the vicinity.
and the Sybarita sent boats to the scene.
But, in answer to a hail, Captain Syca-
more sent the reassuring message that all
on board had escaped without injury. AS
quickly as possible the king and the royal
, party were transferred to the Erin. and
later the king, accompanied by Sir Thomas
Upton, landed at Southampton, from
which place his majesty will nroceed to
London.
Meanwhile the crews of the racers set
about clearing away the wreckage. Owing
to the unwieldy nature of the spars and
gear, it was found impossible to get them
on board and they were cut away and al
lowed to sink, after buoys had been placed
to mark the places where the wreckage
sank. The yachts were then towed back
to Hythe, there to await a decision as
to what shall be done towards repairing
them.
