 One of the first offices at which the demand was refused was that of Clar- ence C.. Whap1es & Co. of Crown street. The four men there soon quit after the demands were refused. ss
 The committee then. visited George Futile, of Futile, Morehouse Taylor, and demanded eight hours work for nine hours pay, and a closed shop. that is one employing union men only.
 MT. Futile refused their demands and fifteen men went on strike. The firm is not crippled by this action, as the composing room still has four men left, and all the other departments are in tact. The intention of the firm is to stand by the action of the typothetae, which, at an executive session yester- day, framed a course of procedure winch will ensure victory for the em- ployers If carried out.

 At the Harty Press it was stated that the men were working. s2'
 Asked if there was possibility of a compromise on the matter, MT. Lee, of the Price, Lee Ss Adkins Go. en1phat- icaIly stated that there was not. The typothetae has taken a stand against the eight hour day with nine hours pay and the closed shop, and the union de- mands it, and it must be fought out on those lines.
 In Hartford yesterday several of the firms which belong to the typothetate voted against the agreement. The Ward Printing company, c. M. Gaines and R. s. Peck being among those who have so voted.
 The big concerns like the Case, Lock- wood & Brainard company and the Plinpton Manufacturing company afe still holding off and have made no def. mite statement, although they are op- posed to granting the demands. What they will do remains to be seen.

YANKEE AND ELMINA
 WIN THE ASTOR CUPS
RACE SAILED IN SLoW TIME OWING TO POOR WEATHER

F. r Brewster's Famous s7-Footer De-
 feats Three sehooners DecisiveIy.
 Lending From the start-Yankee's
 Victory Was Well Earned, on Less
 Than Two Minute NIargin-Charlie
 Barr Sailed the Mineola--Race To-
 day for the Walters Cups.
 Newport. Sept 1S.-J Rogers Max- wells 7O-foot sloop Yankee and E. r. BrewstePs new s7-foot schooner Elmina II. won the Astor cups to-day in a race that was postponed from August IS. on account of unfavorable weather. The Elnina II. defeated three schoon- CTS decisively. leading from the start.
 The victory of the Yankee, however. was well earned, her margin being only minute and 54 seconds over her old rival the Mineola. owned by ". Ross Proctor, and sailed by the famous Charlie Barr.
 " Gould Brokaw's big yawI Sybari- ia led the fleet at the finish, but was placed third in the sloop class in the corrected time, while R. w. Ernmons' 45-footer Humma was fourth in this class.
 The little sloops Minosa TIT. and Nautilus and the schooner Venona also started but did not finish. A year ago the Yankee after being far in the lead, at the finish lost the Astor cup on time allowance to the little sloop Aspirant. The race to-day was sailed in a fckle northwest wind.
 The starting gun was fired at 11:1O. The Yankee led the sIoops and the El- nina II. the schooners over the line The yachts all went off with booms well off to starboard on the long + mile reach to the Vineyard sound lightship. The Elmina II. was never headed by the other two-masters, but after four miles the Mineola caught the Yankee and succeeded in getting by her.
 The farther the yachts sailed the lighter blew the wind and by the time the first turn was reached the leaders were moving very slowly. The relative positions did not change on the three and a half miles run to the second turn. \ From the Hen and Chickens to the finish was a long, slow and tedious beat against a fuctuating breeze. The Elmina II continued to leaa the lschooners, while the Yankee and Syba- I.rita both slipped by the NTineola. Half way to the lighthouse the two 7O-footers and the .yawl worked by the EInhirla II and just before the finish line was reached the Sybarita went to the front and was the first boat to cross the line a little more than a minute ahead of the Yankee, which led the Mineola one minute and 54 seconds. The Elmina m, was the fourth boat to reach the light ship while the Corona was becalned two miles astern and did not finish until more than 25 minutes after her rival. The Humma was sixth and the Katri- ma brought up in the rear half an hour after sunset The Mimosa ILL, Nauti- lus and Yeoona did not finish.
 Tomorrow the yachts with the ex- ception of the sybarita will race for the cups offered by Vice Commodore Henry Walters.
