PACKERS SAY STRIKE IS WON.
Tell Mayor Harrison Joint Conference
 M.n DO No Good.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Despite the may or's intervention. prospects for peace in the packing house strike were far from reassuring to-day. The packers last night appointed committee to repre- sent them at a conference with the mayor, but to-day, without waiting for the time set, they sent committee to
 Mayor Harrison and informed him that it would do no good to arrange a joint conference with the strike leaders The committee contended that the packers had already won the strike. They told
 the mayor that he should consider that they controlled Chicago's greatest in dustry and had such vast interests at stake that they could not be dominated by their employees.
 In response to request from the city
 building department and Health Com missioner the heads of the various packing companies to-day made affida- wits that they are not conducting lodg- ling houses, boarding houses or hotels for their workmen. This was necessary to show that the law which says such places must be conducted for consid- leration, was not being vioIated The packers declare the strike-b breakers are merely guests.

WARp AND WRIGHT YIN.
Capture Doubles Tennis Championship
 ...s Of America.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 1s.-Ward and Wright won the doubles tennis cham pionship of America to-day by a bril- liant victory over Collins and Little and the default of the Doherty Broth .ers. The new champions won through superior steadiness. splendid lobbing and good judgment in working Little. Little had to bear the brunt of the battle and though he did well, he could not stand on the clever attack of the winners. Collins was the most bril- liant of the four players, but was not las steady as either Ward or Wright.
 4 good number of matches in singles were run off in the first and second rounds. There were no upsets and the games were without special feature. Several defaults were recorded, includ- ing those o. Malcolm e Chace and R. .C. seaver. The matches scheduled for the afternoon had to be postponed on account of rain.

NEW HIGH RECORD FOR WHEAT
Rise Comes With Greut Waves of Buy
 ing,

Chicago, Aug. 16.-A new high record for the season was scored to-day for wheat. The market closed strong at practically the top with gains of ? Is, a 5-S cents net.
 The rise in wheat prices came with great waves of buying through out the day, the accompaniments of dispatches received, each increasingly calamitous in suggestions of ruin to the spring wheat According to the dispatches current, the prospect of enough for bread and seed appeared to be a mere sickly glimmer. The markets of the northwest cut wide swath in price making. Minneapolis was not only up sensationally, but the number Of buy ing orders sent from there were larger than for several weeks past. Crop news from some of the experts who are now going over that country were worse than ever besore, and the manner in which the buying orders came in show ed apparently that many sectionst will likely prove heavy losers. There was more or less talk of damage in Mani |toba by rust. but from that section the reports were conflicting. A special from Winnipeg called attention to the fact that wheat is being cut there in many localities under best conditions, and that the damage reports are un- warranted. The popular movement in wheat was to buy the May and sell September.

 Union Broke Agreement.

Bridgeport, Aug. 16.-By a vote of ' to the board of arbitration to-day de- 'cided that the Carpenters union had broken it's agreement with the Inter- state Builders association by striking against the Bridgeport Building com pany.

 New York, Aug. 16.--In spite of cloudy weather the attendance was large on the second day of the grand circuit meeting at Brighton Beach. The 2:2O trot for $5,OOO and the 2:OS pace for the same amount at mile heats, two in three, were the big features of the day, The 2:2O trot proved disastrous to the favorite, Snyder McGregor.

 The 2:08 trot was a far more open question, for though Mckinley sold in some pools at $225 to $35 for the field in the early selling, Caspian sold up even with him at $25 each, while the balance of the field sold at the same figure. The summaries;
