Breaking the Records
(By the Associated Press.)

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 6.-The Lowe
special carrying Henry p Lowe, of New
York City, chief engineer of the United
States Steel Corporation, to the death
bed of his daughter in Los Angeles, which
left Chicago at lis yesterday morning
for this city, is breaking all trans-conti-
mental records. The schedule as arranged
called for a run between Chicago and Los
Angeles, distance of 2,265 miles in six
ty-one hours. Up to 5:45 O'Clock tonight,
at which hour the special reached Albu-
querque, two and one half hours had been
gained. If the same ratio of gain is main
tanned for the remainder of the journey,
the special should reach Los Angeles in
about fiftysix hours. The record for the
run between Los Angeles and Chicago
eastbound, is held by the Peacock special,
which in March 1900 made the distance
in fifty-seven hours, fifty-six minutes.

The infantry then marched off and the
strikers scattered in dozen directions
with Cossacks at their heels. 1t is report
ed that four hundred strikers were more
or less seriously injured, and that from SIX
to dozen succumbed. The whole affair
is a typical piece of administrative saw
agery. The extraordinary feature of the
movement at Odessa is that the police and
gendarmes belonging to one depot, threat
ened to throw off their uniforms and risk
the terrors of characterization unless the
miserable pittance of eleven to fourteen
pence, which they are allowed daily was
increased and the hours of labor reduced.

MONEY AND M'LAURIN.
The Result Of the First Primary Held in Mis-
sissippi
(By the Associated Press


Memphis, Tenn, August 6.-Returns
from the State of Mississippi received
up to midnight indicate that in the Dem
ocratic primary election held in that
State today Senator H. d. Money received
the nomination for the United States
Senate and James K. VardaTan, the
nomination for Governor of the State. The
primary election has attracted widespread
interest on account of the spirited fight
for the Senatorial nomination between
United States Senator Money and Cover
nor A. H. Longino. The race for COVER
nor has been a three-cornered affair, Var
daman, Critz and Noel, the aspirants hav-
ing met frequently in joint debate and
the campaign has been a protracted one.
In addition to the offices mentioned full
State ticket was nominated and candi-
dates for county officers were named gem
erally over the State. United States Syn
ator j. K McLaurin, whose term expires
March 4, 1905, had no opposition.
Returns are coming in slowly as the
ticket was a long one and many of the
coting places are miles from the rail-
read This is the first primary ever held
in the State which included all State and
county officers and that of United States
Senator.
Vardaman, candidate for governor,
pitched his camp on opposition to negro
education and Senator Money made the
race question prominent in his speeches.

fore figures can be given on any office.
