Feeding Experiments.

An important experiment In progress
at the agricultural experiment station
of the University of Illinois is the feed
ing Of various grades Of cattle with a
view Of determining the extent, rapid
ity, nature and cost Of grains for each
grade Of feeding cattle recognized in
the market, and the quality Of beef pro-
duced by each grade. The experiment
involves the feeding Of six carloads OF
cattle-one each Of fancy selected,
choice, good, medium, common and i. .
ferior
At the beginning of the experimen.
the cattle were examined by commit
tee of experts from the Chicago Union
stockyards, whose judgment was asked
with reference to the grading and the
market value of each grade. The
same committee visits the station at
Intervals of one month, when the I'M
provement in value per hundred
pounds of each grade Is noted. AS the
cattle are weighed every two weeks
and careful record kept of the rations
fed, it will be possible at the end of
the experiment to determine at what
time It would pay the feeder best to
have disposed of the various grades.
The experiment will be terminated
with a slaughter test that the grades
of beef produced by the various grades
Of feeding cattle may be determined

REFUSE ARBITRATION.
Claim the COIored Members of the

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The cooks and wait
ers in the restaurants of Chicago will go

order has been issued by the officers of the

mated that 1000 men will refuse TO work

union TO accept arbitration as u means of
settling the former strike. The board of

demands of the walters for two months.

officers of the union say that they will not
accept the decision of the board and will
order another strike.
The trouble this time will not affect any
of the hotels in the city but will be effect

The chief objection of the union to the
verdict of the arbitration board is. the off,

for the same work for which white men re-

WILL BE REMEAsURED-
Shamrock May Have Difficulty I'm Get
ting Within the Limit.

NEW YORK, Aug 22.-Shamrock III will
be remeasured in Erie basin Monday morn
ing In the presence of a representative OF
Reliance.
Lewis Cass Ledyard, chairman of the rae
ing committee of the New York Yacht Club.
to-day notified Sherman Crawford, vice
commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht
squadron, TO that effect in the following tel
egram:
Mr. Iselin reports that you informed him
just before starting on yesterdays race that
Shamrock III, when measured. did not have
the anchor and cable on board before start
ing You reported 1t also to the regatta
committee. This, IL true, would require a
new measurement under the agreement De
fore starting another race. l appreciate
that it would be impossible for you TO pro-
cure a measurement before starting To-
morrow and understand that the regatta
committee has requested that Shamrock III
be measured on Monday. Under the cir
cumstances, knowing that the error arose
from an oversight of the committee, l. am
willing that your boat shall start tomorrow,
but subject TO the new measurement TO De
taken on Monday next. The vessel, on sucn
trim as when sailing Saturday, which fact
will be established by your own state
ment."
Mr.. Crawford's answer was:
I'VE were measured without anchor ana
chain aboard. We had not an anchor or
chain on board during the first race and we
find they are required by the rules. We pro-
pose, with your permission. to sail to,mor,
row with the same trim as measured ana
then carry out your wishes by remeasuring
on Monday with the anchor and cnaln
aboard. If your committee mas any nlore
suggestions we will meet them with pleas
ure."
Nobody aboard either yacht would discuss
the measurement of the Shamrock with ner
anchor and chain aboard. Sir Thomas salo'
however:
1T was all an oversight and the Yacht
Club representatives were only made cog
infant of our being measured without them
when we told them. Neither their represent
aative nor ours. present at the measuring,
noticed the error at the time. 1t won't make
any difference"
When Shamrock III was first measured
the matches had to be removed and two
light weight men substituted for two heav-
Ter ones in the crew to keep the water line
inside of ninety feet. This brought her up
to s9O1 feet. The anchor and chain weigh
as much as two men and 1t is thought that
when the yacht shall be remeasured tnere
will be some difficulty getting inside the
water line maximum.

When the Knickerbocker train, Nc Is,

last night at 1855 it was three hours and
forty-five minutes late and carried with IL
several injured passengers. The reason was
rear-end collision between the Knicker-
booker and freight train No. 81. about
quarter of a mile west of the Union Sta
