Oct. 6 for New York, at noon Oct. 8
was In latitude 4S.38 north and longi-
tude 1910 west, having run Cos miles
during the day, beating all records for
q single days steaming The average
speed was 2432 knots for the first
twelve hours, with a beam swell and
light airs prevailing. For the second
twelve hours a fresh northwest wind
was encountered, with beam sea.
AT 9 O'Clock Tuesday night the Lusi-
tania was in latitude AZ north and
longitude 1920 west and was going at
the rate Of twenty-five knots an hour.
The weather is clear and the sea
smooth.
The Lusitania up to 9 o'clock Tues
day night had apparently covered
distance Of about 1870 miles from
Queenstown. She still had about
1872 miles more to cover the distance
to Sandy Hook lightship. If the Lusi-
tania maintains an average speed OF
twenty-five knots from that time on
she will reach the lightship at about
100 a. m. Friday. This would make
the time of her passage about 4 days

ISSUE NO MORE MILEAGE
AFTER JANUARY l.

The Michigan Central and Pere Mar
quette have given formal notice that af-
ter January l, 1907, no more contracts
can be made with newspapers for space
in exchange for transportation on the
basis that has been the vogue ever since
the expansion of railroad traffic required
wide publicity. The effect of the law is
likely to be felt even more severely by
the railroads than by the newspapers.
Publicity is of the first Importance to
the railroads, for without the aid OF the
newspapers the public cannot be readily
informed of special rates and the thou
sand and one things the railroads want
the public to know throughout the year
There is nothing to prevent the railroad
from paying cash fol- such advertising
as other lines OF business do, but ii their
advertising is placed with the old time
prodigality on a cash basis, the expendi-
lures for advertising will be vast sum.
Fhe rate bill requires a radical read
justment of the business Of the railroads
and the eff sct cannot be determined for
perhaps a series Of years.
