in commission, while other press SER
lvices, which have hitherto refused to
recognize the union, are tied up.
The strike is general and there is
hardly an Office of any consequence
In the United States where a walk
out has not occurred. Business inter-
ests are paralyzed; the railroad tele-
graphers refuse to handle CONNER
cial messages, and telephone lines
are so overcrowded that the service
is almost useless.
President s. J. Small of the tele-
Igraphers' union Is now en- route to
this city. where he will confer with
Labor Commissioner Neill, President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and the national
officers of the various labor bodies.
President Small is expected to assume
direct control OF the situation and
issue orders to the striking telegraph
ers from this city.
The strike of the Associated Press
operators followed a demand for in
creased wages on the part of the
operators. The demand was submit
ted to General Manager Stone, but he
refused to pass upon It before submit
II ting IL to the board of directors. The
strike followed. II was first agreed
that operators on market wires
should be allowed to work. 1t was
learned, however. that In many
places these wires were being used
for commercial messages, and in
these instances the operators were
called from their keys. In some
other cities the market operators left
their desks of their own accord.
United States Labor Commissioner
Neill arrived here yesterday and will
do what he can toward untangling
the difficulties between the operators
and the companies. A preliminary
conference is being held today be-
tween Neill and Gompers. at which
the general situation is being fully
discussed Both are familiarizing
themselves with every phase with n
view OF taking II up with President
Small when he arrives tomorrow.

Shake Up Standard.

New York, Aug. 13.-The humble
telegraph operator is doing TO the
Standard Oil company more than the
United States courts can. On the
curb today in this city the price OF
Standard Oil stock went sharply low
er until 1t struck s425 a share. This
is the lowest point ever reached by
the security of the Rockefeller con
cern and indicates that at last hold
ers Of that stock are weakening. A
year and a half ago the Standard
stocks sold as high as 500 a share

TROLLEY
PERMIT
is
REFUSED


San Francisco, Aug. ia heavy
blow was struck at the United Rail-
roads by the new board of supervis-
ors last night when they denied the
overhead trolley permit, and took the
first step looking to abolition, IS
months hence, of all overhead electric
wires in the district eastward from
Devisadero street. This Is in direct
reputation of the permit granted by
the Doodle board at cost to the COM
pany, it is claimed. of $3.50, 900.
Only bitter opponents of the United
Railroads have favored this extreme
action. The resolution provides that
all telephone, telegraph, trolley and
power wires in that portion of the
city between Devisadero street and
the ferry be placed under ground.

Race for Kings Cup.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 14.-After a
run to Vineyard Haven, the squad
ron of the New York Yacht club re-
turned today to Newport to com
plete final preparations for tomor-
rows race for the famous Ascot cup.
oficial announcement has been re-
ceived from oyster Bay that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not be here to
witness the races, as was expected.
The great yachting event of the
year in Newport waters will take
place Friday, when the contest for
the cup donated by King Edward Is
scheduled TO be raced. The trophy
offered by the British sovereign is a
magnificent specimen of the gold
smiths art, stands thirty-one inches
from the base OF the apex to the
ornamental cover, has a capacity OF
several gallons and is engraved with
the royal arms OF Great Britain, and
with the following inscriptions:
This cup is presented TO the New
York Yacht club by His Majesty,
King Edward VII, honorary mem
ber of the club"
On the face OF the block on which
the cup rests is gold plate, on
which Is inscribed the name OF each
yacht and the name of her owner
that succeeds in winning the races.
Each winning yacht also receives
from the New York Yacht club n
suitable trophy to commemorate the
victory. While the cup is in the
custody of the New York Yacht club,
as the premier yachting organization
OF America. the race for the cup Is
open to duly accredited boats of all
other American yacht clubs. schoon-
ers, slopes and yawls sailing as one
class.
1t is no secret that King Edwards
gift of the cup has been destined to
mark his disapproval OF the un-
friendly attitude of the Royal Yacht
squadron of England toward the
New York yacht club, and to sig
nalize the value which he sets upon
his connection with the latter as one
,of its honorary members.

Tax Graft to he Broken Up.

Chehalis, Wash, Aug. 13.-The
Weyerhaeuser Timber company, the
Continental and other large holders,
as well as all the smaller timber own
ers who have timber holdings in
Lewis county on which the county's
cruisers have made report, will re-
eeive notice within the next two or
three days TO appear before the Lew
is county equalization board and
show why their valuations on timber
land holdings should not be raised.
Some of the raisers are so. some 100
and some 200 per cent. 1t has been
found that certain sections which
have heretofore been turned In at
ridiculously low valuations are worth
vastly more than they have been rep
resented TO be worth, and II Is
charged against the Weyerhaeuser
company that one section which their
agents have represented as burned
over and practically worthless has on
it more than 6O.OO0.O 900 feet of fine
timber. The board and Cruiser Clin-
ton are at Seattle and Tacoma con-
sulting with the authorities there In

Rowing "Champs" at Jimtown.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 14.-Some OF
the best amateur oarsmen OF Ameri-
ca and Europe are here to compete
in the international rowing regatta,

tend through the balance Of the

tomorrow includes only man-of-war
races and local contests. The trial
heats In the international champion
ships will be rowed Friday and the
finals on Saturday. All races will be
straightaway, and the distance Will
be one and a quarter miles. The
jamestown exposition management
has provided a breakwater to Insure
still water. The course, which Is
$50 feet wide, has been laid out in
Willoughby bay. opposite the expo
sition buildings.
In number of contestants and en-
thusiasm of spectators the event
promises to surpass the recent ma
tlOnal regatta at fhlladclphla, anu
to equal any similar contest ever
held in the United States. The most
important feature Of the regatta
will be the inter-city contests, which
will replace the inter-elub races, so
customary at the national regatta.
All crews will be entered from cities
instead OF clubs, and each competing
oarsmen will be required TO wear
the coat OF arms of the city he repre-
sents on the bosom OF his rowing
jersey. The program provides for
seven events. including single and
double sculls. octuple sculls and four
and eight-ored shells.
