Declare Strikers Com
pIeteIy Beaten.

Chicago, Aug. Stock yards pack
ers announced today that they would
attempt to import no more unskilled
labor and in the future would take
on only few skilled men.
Ice handlers and ice wagon driv
ers have refused to supply refrigerator
cars of the strike affected plants.
Blow at the Trust.
Homer d. Call. international secre-
tary of the butchers organization said
today that instead of the packers dis
rupting the unions, the disintegration
of the meat trust has set in and the
combination is broken. He says since
the strike began the independent
plants have secured the trade of the
trust which the latter never will be
able to recover.
Importing Many Men.
Chicago. Aug. 3.--More non-uniou
workers were imported by the Chicago
packers yesterday than on any day
since the strike began, and it was said
that at the present rate of progress all
places would be filled within 10 days
Thirteen hundred men and a few wo-
men constituted yesterdays arrivals,
who were distributed among the vari-
GUS plants.
The workers have been imported in
such numbers that the packers are
said to have difficulty in placing them.
Swift & Co. announced that they had
an oversupply of men in some of their
departments, and Nelson Morris & Co.
issued a statement that they had near
ly full complement.
Much stock on HIND.
Despite declarations of the packers

yards are filled with cattle and hogs

market. According to the commission

out of the live stock received the last
two days, over 10000 hogs were re-
shipped, and unsold stock is rapidly
accumulating in the pens. Twelve
thousand hogs remained unsold last
night, and the prospect of large re-
ceipts today caused the live stock
handlers to fear a swamping of their
facilities. According to the commits
sion men, there are thousands of hold
overs in all the departments of the
yards, and the cattle in the pens will
not all be out of the way by Saturday
night. In the face of all this the ship
pers are constantly forwarding stock
to Chicago. and the indications are
that there will be decided slump in
the prices of live stock.

Danish Inventor Discover Principle
That Will Be of Great
Value.

Copenhagen. Aug 3.-Vlandemar
Paulsen, in addition to his telegra-
phone, disk telegraphone and tele-
phone newspaper. has made yet a
fourth invention which will overshad-
ow these. He has discovered an cleo
trio wave, the existence of which long
has been suspected, but which up 10
the present has eluded the efforts of
men of science.
This force, it is believed. will rival
all that hitherto has been done by Mar
conf. Herren Schlaby, Arco and others
in the domain of wireless telegraphy.
Herr Paulsen has invented an cleo
trical apparatus by which he can set in
motion, without wires, or connection
of any kind the keyboard of a type
writer.
Up to the present Herr Paulsen
only has had success in laboratory
that is to say, he has only been able
to set the typewriter in motion at a
short distance He places his appara-
tus in one room and the typewriter in
another and by working the keys of his
instrument he sets the typewriter in
motion. He has, in other words. dis
covered the principle: its application
to long distances is only a matter of
time and experiment.
Herr Paulsen at present is at work
on paper which the committee of the
worlds fair in st. Louis asked him to
send. in which he describes the rise
and development of his various inyen-
tions AS soon as he has completed
this he will again return to the prob
lem of wireless communication and

BALDWIN CAN FLY
New Machine of Californian Sails
With Ease Over City Of
Oakland.
is PERFECTLY TRACTABLE
Buoyed by Cigar Shaped Balloon and
Propelled From the
Front.

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 3.-The hopes OF
Capt. T. S. Baldwin, aerial navigator,
have been realized. At $50 o'clock
yesterday morning the airship, upon
which he has spent years of study,
sailed gracefully from its moorings at
IdOra park. With Baldwin in the car,
the giant flying machine rose TO a
height of nearly 400 feet and circled
over the park both with and against
the wind, demonstrating in every turn
of the propeller and every move of the
steering gear and of the weights which
raise or lower the machine at will,
that the plans of the inventor have
been accurate.
The airship is to be taken to St.
Louis, where Baldwin has entered it
in the 100000 prize competition to
be held there.
Propelled From Bow.
The chief feature of the airship is
that the prOpelling fan, instead of be-
ing placed at the stern, it placed at
the bow of the frame. In this manner
the airship, instead of being driven
through space, is pulled through the
atmosphere. This, according to the
inventor, permits of much greater
speed and also facilitates the steer
ing, as well as the raising or lowering
of the machine.
The balloon, by means of which the
airship is suspended in the atmosphere
is cigar-shaped. 1t measures 81 feet
in length and Il feet in diameter. 1t
is made of fine quality of silk, and,
with the netting which attaches it to
the frame or car, weighs 80 pounds.
The balloon is inflated with hydrogen
gas, its capacity being 5000 cubic feet.
Frame of Aluminium.
To this balloon is attached the frame
which supports the propelling and
steering mechanism. This frame, made
of aluminium, is As feet in length.
The engine which drives the pro-
peller is one of the ordinary gasoline
type, seven-hOrse power and 1000 rev.
olutions a minute. The transmitting
mechanism is so adjusted as to cause
the propeller blade to make $50 rev.
olutions per minute. The entire weight
of the machine in all is 22O pounds.
