 These were the statements made by. Sir Thomas Lipton at his apartments at the Auditorium Annex, Sunday night in the first interview he has given since coming to Chicago, two weeks ago.
 T want to reiterate," he said, that have no fault to find with anyone for my defeat. I have seen sugges- ton that the only way to revive Brit ish interest in cup racing would be to dangle the cup in front of our eyes by waiving the rules and let the chal- lenged American yacht race ill British waters. I want to say that while personally appreciate the kindliness of the suggestion, we want to win the cup and win it fairly. according to the present rules, and I believe that if we did win 1t it would not stay on our side more than year."

WILL FIGHT TO THE FINISH
Statement Issued by President Chas. k. EidIitx of Building Trades
 EmpIOyers' Association.

New York, sept. 29.-Charles L. Eid- litz, president of the Building Trades Employers association, has issued a statement declaring that the employers have not given up their fight against the unions which are opposing the plans for labor settlements on the en- ployers' arbitration plan. He said:
 While it is true that building con- tracts are being concelled and the VOL ume of building will be greatly cur tailed, 1t is also true that we are going to carry our fight to a finsh, with a view to establishing a condition of af- fairs that will enable us some time to resume work under better relations with our employees, instead of relaxing, we shall fight harder than ever be- fore.
 "It is now squarely up to the unions themselves as to how the fight ends. If the men choose to follow false and dangerous leaders they alone will be responsible for the result"

Veterans Who Fought In the War With Spain Parade at
 New Haven, Conn.
PRELIMINARY OF TIE OPENING
 OF FOURTH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The Men Were Clad in Uniforms or Blue and Gray, EnablemRtic Of the Perfect Reunion of the Country Were Reviewed by G. A II. Vet erans,

New Haven, Conn, Sept: 29.-Clad in uniforms of blue and gray, emblem at1c Of the reunion as comrades of men formerly separated by sectional strife, 1000 soldiers of the Spanish American war paraded, Monday, as a preliminary to the opening of the fourth annual as- sembly of the national army and navy Spanish War Veterans. They were re- viewed by veterans of the c. A. R., state and city officials, and by Presi- dent Hadley of Yale university. The first assemblage of the day, aside from the many informal gatherings, was that of the council of administration which met at the New Haven house.
 Reports Submitted.
 ing the year were submitted to the council, and were referred to the con- yention for acceptance.
 The report of Adjt.-Gen. L. C. Dyer showed that the organization has made rapid progress during the past year. The increase of nearly 100 new com mands, together with the increase in membership of commands already es- tablished has brought the membership up to about 40, 900.
 New State Organizations.
 Eight new state organizations have been formed, together with seven provisional state organiza- tions AS regards finances, the associa- tion was declared to be in good ccn- dition, with no debts and with con siderable balance on hand. The amount expended for relief work by the various commands and corps dur ing the year was nearly S100,000
 Probable Cancellations.
 In the organization of new com mands some trouble has been experi- enced by reason of the fact that there has been an effort to amalgamate the Spanish War Veterans with the Span ish-American War Veterans and other like organizations. A good many de- sired to hold out from joining the Spanish War Veterans until this con- solidation was perfected. All hin- drance to consolidation has now been removed, and it is expected by the end of October all details, including the election of officers and the adoption of rules and rituals will have been ar ranged.

IAN ENORMOUS BUILDING
Figures Relating to the Transporta-
 tion Building at Worlds Fair.
1t Covers Twenty-Three Acres, nnd In It's Construction 12,000.0O0 Feet of Lumber is Being Used.

St. Louis, Sept. 29.-Herry w. Schlue- ter, the Chicago contractor who has charge of the construction of the Transportation building at the Worlds fair, says:
 T will have the roof over the Trans portation building by October 1, as my contract calls for, and the building, ex- terior and interior, will be completed November l."
 MT. Schleuter has prepared some in- teresting statistics relative to the Transportation building. It will cover more acreage than any building in the world: its area being g acres. It will be 1,500 feet in length and 325 feet in width, and the contract price 1862, ,000.
 It will contain 27 railroad tracks ex- tending the entire length of the build ing.
 In its construction 12,000,000 feet of lumber will be used. This is 4,000,000 feet in excess of the lumber that will be used in any other of the Worlds fair buildings.
 In the construction the nails used will weigh over thirty tons. The pill ing, if stretched in a straight line, would measure 30 miles.
 The bolts and rods used in the con- struction will weigh H. ,000 tons.
 The holes bored for bolts, rods and griff pins, if placed side by side, would reach from St. Louis to New York.
 Mir. Schleuter has the contract for building the Temple of Fraternity at the Worlds fair. He has many other interests in St. Louis.
 'The St. Louis fair," said MT. Schlue- ter, will far surpass the Chicago expo sition. The St, Louis fair, in my opin- ion, will be greater than all the inter- national expositions combined. The buildings will be larger and more sub stantial, and the exhibitions will be more complete.
 "The fair officials are doing business on an extraordinary large scale. Why, when the specifications for the large buildings were first submitted to the contractors of the country the men who were endeavoring to get the work of construction were absolutely amazed
 "The specifications exceeded their expectations to such an extent that every contractor who entered into com petition for the Worlds fair work had to throw away his estimates and be- gin all over.
 "The size and substantial nature of the buildings contemplated by the fair officials were beyond the comprehen- sion of the contractors"

First Real Work of the Troops As sembled at West Point, Ky.,
 Begun Monday Morning.
WORKING VARIOUS PROBLEMS OF
 FRONT AND REAR GUARD WORK
as Nearly ms Practicable, Those of Actual Warfare-The Main Bodies of the Contending Eorces Not Brought Into Action.

zS.-The first real work of the troops 28.-The first real work of the troops assembled here for the army maneuv- CTS began Monday.
 It centered on the solution of the various problems of an army in the neighborhood of an enemy in time of war. The conditions were made to simulate those of actual warfare as nearly as possible. The different phases of the problem such as the pro- lection by the advance guard of it's own flank in country offering good cover to an attacking force; the pro- lection from 8 rush in the open by mounted infantry or cavalry, and the fundamental requirement. of discovery of the enemy within a time sufficient to allow the main body to be deployed in line of battle (usually at least one hour) were allowed to be developed in natural fashion without premedita- ton after the opposing forces had been set in motion. The same relative prob lems were set before the rearguards of the blue and the brown armies. The main bodies did not clash. Their part in the problem was limited to forming a line of battle and fixing the positions that the time consumed and disposition of the troops could be passed upon by the umpire in judging the work of the advance and rear guards in pro- tecting them from surprise. While this was being done, the advance guard was doing some lively skirmishing. The points chiefly noted by the umpires in this being skill and taking cover, sur prise, superior weight of fire, accom- panied by the least exposure of the body, taking the initiative; proper re- serve of magazine fire, etc. The troops were astir early. At roll call the line officers made a rigid inspection of each mans cartridge belt to make sure that no ball cartridges had crept in among the blank ones. After breakfast the 2,000 regular soldiers divided into bod fes of equal strength to begin their maneuvers.

PANIC CAUSED BY FIRE.
A Dozen Lives Were, For a Time, ina Jeopardy, Hut All Escaped
 Injury.

New York, Sept 29.-Fire early Monday morning in five-story build ing at 237 Fifth avenue caused a panic among a dozen persons who were asleep there. The blaze started on the second floor and spread upwards so quickly that the inmates fled to the roof, from where they were able to reach the roof of the Reform club, next door. All escaped injury in this way, although much valuable property was left behind.
 Several artists had quarters in the building and quite number of Yalua- ble paintings undoubtedly were lost. Several canvasses were carried out by their owners who left their clothing be- hind
