AMERICAN YACHT CROSSES FIN
1911 LINE FIRST IN TRANS
ATLANTIC CONTEST.

The Lizard, Eng, May 3o.-The
American yacht Atlantic, Captain
Robert Barr commanding, finished
first in the great transatlantic race for
the cup offered by the German en-
peror. Not another competitor was in
sight when the queenly American
racer crossed the finish line south of
the Lizard light at 9:15 p. M, to the
boom Of 2 gun from the German cruis-
er Pfeil, the stakeboat. The Atlantic
proceeded for Cowes by way Of South
ampton intent on beating the record.
The Atlantic made an average Of
1917 knots since leaving Sandy Hook.

No PEACE At CHICAGO
The Expensive Labor War There
to Be Fought to the Bitter
End
A Great Strike Demonstration
Being Planned for July 5th
by Labor Federation

Chicago, May 29.-That the labor
unions are of the belief that the strife
between capital and labor will be q
long II was demonstrated at the
meeting Of the Chicago Federation of
Labor during the day when arrange
ments were made for holding a strike
demonstration on July 5. On this date
a monster parade Of the strikers and
the affiliated unions will take place.
At the days meeting each union af-
iliated with the central body was rep
resented by three delegates. The
strike situation was discussed in all
its details and the sentiment Of the
meeting was that the teamsters should
continue the fight until the seven ex-
press companies offered some sort of
q compromise. The officials of the ex-
press companies are still obdurate in
their declaration that no concessions
need be looked for from their side, so
the matter of settlement through this
channel seems as remote as ever.
With over 1000 police and deputy
sheriffs detailed on strike duty, the
employers declare that during the pres-
ent week they will be able to convince
the strikers that any further continue
tion of the fight will be suicidal to the
Transfers union.
Conditions Nearly Normal.
"In the next few days we will have
all the help needed to get business
back to a normal basis" said Superin-
tendent Reed of the Employers Team
ing association. During the past
week we secured owe 1900 drivers
from cities and towns outside of Chi
cago and there are several hundred
en- route. Three hundred of
these men are expected to arrive here
in the morning from the northern part
of Wisconsin and Minnesota. They
are principally lumbermen and river
drivers and will be assigned to the
$50 drivers already engaged by the
lumbermen this additional force will
put the lumbermen in fairly good
shape again.
"The State street stores and the
other business houses that became in
volved in the trouble at the beginning
have practically enough men to handle
all their wagons, SO it is only a ques-
ton of police protection that concerns
us now
In the lumber district, which is
feared more than any other part of
the city, many of the saloons. which
have been made the headquarters Of
the striking teamsters, were closed
Sunday by the order of Mayor Dunno.
Police kept crowds from co%ngregating
on the streets.

Wolf Harvest PAYS Well.

Now that the crops are planted the
spring harvest of young wolves is be-

for a man with a pick and shovel to
make $40 a day digging them out. A

discovered a nest by the road. He
dispatched the nine young ones and
one old one and with the bounty took
home q load of dry goods.

RUSSIANS STUPEFIED
EXTENT OF DISASTER SUFFERED
~ BALTIC FLEET sTuNs
THE ADMIRALTY.

st. Petersburg, May 31.-The Rus
sian admiralty is literally stupeled at
the extent OF the disaster suffered by
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's feet,
and Its own advices paint the situation
in even worse colors than the Toxic
dispatches.
The Associated Press Vladivostok
dispatch accounts for only two ships
Of the great Russian fleet-the cruis-
sef' Almax and the tropedo boat destroy
or Grozny-and the absence of news
about the b%attleship Navarin and the
cruisers Oleg and Aurora, which are
the only fighting ships Of any value
not enumerated In the Japanese lists
Of destroyed or captured, and which
up to 1880 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
had not reached vladivostok, renders
almost idle any hope that they were
able to shake of the pursuing Japa-
nese cruisers and reach the shelter of
the fortress at Golden Horn.
The officers of the Almaz dispute
Admiral Togo's claim Of victory with
practically no loss and declare they
saw two battleships go down before
their eyes and that two cruisers were
on the point Of laundering when they
last distinguished the battling fleets.
But they admit the distance of their
ship from the center of battle and the
fog made the view difficult.
HumiIiatine to Russians.
Tokio's account Of the arrival of
captured warships at Japanese ports
was more humiliating to the Russian
naval authorities than tho news of the
defeat.
The opinion expressed here Is that
nothing can excuse the failure OF the
Russian commanders to sink their
ships under their feet rather than to
allow them to fall into the enemy's
hands.
The question of inaugurating peace
negotiations is not likely to be opened
until full reports of the Russian dis
aster have been received. The war
party continues Its defiant attitude
and declares that peace is impossible,
while many Russians who heretofore
have been in favor of peace, but who
are now Inundated by the sting of the
defeat Of their navy, are giving their
voice IN favor of q continuation of the
war. Nevertheless. the peace party
insists on the absolute futility Of pro-
longing the struggle.

A Hotel GA Wheels.

1t is, perhaps, best to say that in
every respect-china, cuisine and at
tendants, the dining car service Of the
"Oriental Limited is in keeping with
the luxuriousness Of the remainder Of
this regal train, and has won, as the
dining car service has always helped
to win, the title, "The Comfortable
Way" for the Great Northern Rail-
way. The. new. dining car service of
the "Oriental Limited equals in beau
ty, design and interior furnishings
anything which is operated on any
transcontinental line. Every luxury
which a drst-class hotel or club. sr-
fords in the way Of service is really
on the dining car of the "Oriental Linn
ited." The new dining cars were built
with a special purpose in view Of af-
fording the most comfortable sur
roundings, as we'll as giving the trav-
eler a unique and luxurious place in
which to enjoy his meals. A gentle
man who recently made the journey to
the Coast from st. Paul on the "Ori-
entail Limited" in speaking Of the din
ing car service, said:
Il have travelled on almost every
important railroad in the United
States, but have yet to find one
which surpasses. the Oriental Linn
tied in the comfort and convenience
afforded the traveller. Your dining car
service is excellent the equal Of any
many. l was particularly struck with
