Illness Has Made 1t Impossible to
Confer With Advisers ON
Transatlantic Contest.
OFFER RENEWED FOR 1905.
Sir Thomas Upton Agrees That
Time is Too Short to Make AT,
fair a Success Next Year
He Hopes to Be a Con-
testant.

Berlin, Nov. 2s.-Enperor William has
withdrawn his offer of a cup for a trans
atlantic yacht race in 1904. on account of
his health, and has substituted for 1t the
offer of a. cup to be raced for in 1905.
The Emperor, through his representa-
tive. cabled his decision to the American
yachtsmen to-day with his reasons for
the postponement.
These are that the prolonged period Of
the Emperor's recovery and the conse-
quent accumulation of all business has
prevented him from receiving his yachting
advisers to arrange the details for a trans
atlantic race until It was too late for
the designers and builders to have new
yachts ready for contest In the spring of
1904.
The Associated Press is informed that
the Emperor greatly regrets that a delay
Of several weeks has been caused by his
indisposition. and resulting inability to
discuss the particulars of the race.
He designs to renew his proposal in de-
tailed form early in the fall of 1904. In
time to build and try new boats. The EN-
peror hopes this suspension of his offer

He was not unwilling that Jhis informa-
tion should be made public;

day received telegram from Lord Ions
dale notifying him that as illness had pre-
vented Emperor William from meeting

But all actors and actresses are not like

Therefore, the prospect that confronts the
supporting company of Fools of Nature
is a most serious one.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 12.-Today
conferences between the officials of the
United States Steel Corporation and
the heads of the constituent compa-
MES are for the purpose Of settling the
details Of the wage reduction which
has been decided is necessary in view
of the condition of the steel market.
From a reliable source it is learned
that the reduction will affect all de-
partments and include managers and
all office help as we'll as the thousands
of men employed in the mills. In
those mills employing union men there
is an agreement between the company
and the Amalgamated Association pro-
hibiting a change in wages until the
agreement expires. 1t is expected,
however, that the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION will make wage concessions
satisfactory to the company. Should
the association decline to make such
concessions it is expected that the cor
poration will meet the difficulty by
closing down the union plants and
running the nOn-uniOn mills which, at
reduced wages, would be less ex-
pensiVe to operate.
