24O MILE RACE Six Torpedo Boats Start From Scotland Light 10 Cape
 Henry.

New York, June 6.-Six torpedo boat destroyers. the fastest boats in the United States navy, started to-day on 240 mile race from the Scotland Lightship to Cape Henry. Va. They were the flagship Whipple. and the Truxton, Worden, Stewart. Hull and Hopkins comprising the second tor pedo fiotilla.
 The weather was fairly favorable for fast race when the swift craft ranged behind the starting line for a flying start. The wind was fresh and the sea was lumpy. With the signal the six destroyers made for the line at full speed. The time of the start was taken at 8:33. Within a mile from the line the destroyers Worden, Stewart and Hopkins had pushed out ahead of the others. The destroyers carried every pound of steam possible and spectators on the shore had only comparatively short glimpses of the black hulled vessels as they sped south along the Jersey coast. Naval officers expect the destroyers to make about twenty-four knots an hour, which would bring them to Cape Henry at 6 p. m.
 At the finish of the race the de- stroyers will proceed to Hampton roads to be present at the Jamestown exposition on Georgia day on June 10.

OUT DOOR WORK.
Getting Rest This Spring on Ac.
 count of Weather.


 Out of door laborers are having a hard time this year managing to keep the wolf from the door. There is lots to do. but the weather is un- certain and they lose great deal of time, so much that in many instances men who prefer to dig and shovel in the open have given up that class of work and gone into the shops where the wage schedule Is lower, but In the end 1t amounts to more because they have 1t wet and dry. It is hard to suggest remedy for this that would help the workman with out doing an injustice to the employe, but in many instances employers who want to make sure of desirable help find something to do for their men during stormy days and fin time it is thought that 1t will be out of the ques- ton for anybody to keep a good man very long unless he gives him full time. This Is the order of things in some cities. but they have not got to that yet in Waterbury, and 1t Is a question If common iaborers receive pay for broken days in many towns in this state. Where is Is done 1t is simply an inducement to hold good men and municipalities and private corporations will adopt the plan as soon as they lind that they cannot pick up such help as suits their purpose at short notice.

THE R. R. MERGER
More About the Big Railroad Deal That Was Put Through
 the Other Day.

New Haven, June 6,-In regard to the question of the coming merger Of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad company with the Boston x Maine, the subject has arisen of the position of minority holders of Bos- ton & Maine stock who do not imme- diately enter the consolidation. While on this point railroad officials here have been reticent, there is author ity for stating that the merger will probably not take immediately the form of lease. The New York, New Haven and Hartford interests probably taking the form of stock hold- ings and stock control, paying earned dividends to the minority holders of the Boston and Maine, and relying upon the s per cent dividends of the larger company as an inducemcnt foc the exchange of stock, as compared with the per cent dividends of the Boston and Maine. This idea is fur ther strengthened by the present equal ity in market quotations of Boston and Maine and New York, New and Hartford shares.
 As regards the question of the talk ing of the Ontario & Western by the New York Central as consideration in the Boston & Maine deal, high railroad official here can be quoted as saying that the New York Central on financial grounds, and in view of It's already extensive outlays for im- provements, is not likely to avail It. self of opportunities in the Ontario & Western direction, which would in- volve an expenditure of probably not les than $13,000,000 or s14,000,000,
 The device of consolidating the trolley holding company of Connecti- cut and the New England Navigation company by which $30,000,000 Of "free' stock is put in the New Ha. ven roads treasury, will avoid any negotiations of new securities for the purpose of carrying out the Boston & Maine deal, and also technically avoid any increase of stock.
 About ten millions of this new stock is about all that will be needed for early use, and the whole of it will not be needd in the final consum nation of the merger.

WILL BE DISCUSSED.
Republicans High in Party Say Tariff
 Question Must Be Met.


 Washington, June 6.-Efforts of the American Protective Tariff league to create stand-pat tariff sen- timent in the country are simply Il waste of valuable energy. It is well understood that an agreement was reached between President Roosevelt and the republican leaders in the two branches of congress that the tariff question should be referred to the re- publican national convention next year That is the program arranged and, thus far, there are no serious indlca- tions that change is in contempia- ton.
 The agreement reached was, in eff feet, that the convention next year should make a definite declaration for a readjustment of schedules of the present tariff law concerning which there is a difference of opinion. The agreement even went so far as to pledge the parties to 1t to an over hauling of the schedules soon after the inauguration of the next president, always provided that republican be elected. That arrangement seems to meet with the approval of republican leaders generally, who do not care to have the tariff issue injected too prom inently Into the approaching national campaign.
 The American Protective Tariff league, however, is demanding tile nomination and election of a repub- llcan who does not favor revision or readjustment of the existing tariff rates. It fired u tremendous broad- side at Secretary Taft, because, on the strength of his recent utterances, he is supposed to be in favor of rc- vison of the tariff. The league might just as we'll have begun with the president himself. for It Is known that he stands on the tariff question just where Secretary Taft stands. Indeed, while no hard and fast decision yet has been reached by the president. he may discuss the tariff question in his message to congress next Decem- Der. It is pretty certain that some sort of official announcement of the tariff program will be made prior to tue DOlullS VI JUG toufthtitht ho bpeh stand-patters and revisionists believe that 1t would be unwise to preclpitate contest on the eve of q presidential election--a contest that certainly would disturb business interests gen. orally.
 It is known that the president WAS urged to call congress Into extraord- mary session this spring for the pur- pose of taking up the tnriff question. It was suggested that the matter might be disposed of year before the na- tional campaign and thus remove any possible doubt as to the attitute of congress. In view of the agreement reached among the republican lead CTS, in and out of congress, however, 1t was decided to defer any action until after the next presidential elee- ton.
 Despite the agreement for post ponement of the question. It Is cer- tainty that the contest. when 1t does come, will be a spirited one. No con cealment of the fact is made that the republicans are split seriously on the matter of revision and the highly protected interests are preparing to make a vigorous fcht
