Communication With Luciania Kept Up
for Nearly Four Hours.
MANY MESSAGES FROM TEE SHORE
Puf«r.;ers of Steamer Are Given a 8nm
inary of World'* Happening* Since
They E.cft Queenstown Several Day*
Ago.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The Cunard
line steamship Lucania, Captain Mc
Kay, which sailed from Liverpool for
New York August 10, was spoken
through the medium of wireless teleg
raphy by the Nantucket lightship
shortly after 6 o'clock this evening.
The Herald shore station, to which
came the wireless message from the
lightship is at Siascouset, a favorite
summer resort on the island of Nan
tucket. On the highest part of the
village, known as Bunker Hill, is
erected a mast, built in three sections,
with its truck rising 165 feet in the
air. At its upper end Is a spar known
as a spirit or yard, which carries a
vertical wire of the Marconi system
180 feet above the ground. The in
struments which complete the install
ation are in a cottage 100 feet distant
from the base of the mast, and be
tween it and the sea an uninterrupted
moorland stretches for a mile or more.
Forty sea miles away, bearing about
south, the Nantucket lightship is
moored as u safeguard to vessels
crossing the dangerous shoais of this
vexed area and as a point of departure
and arrival for vessels crossing the
northern Atlantic or coasting along
the western seaboard. On board this
vessel a spar has been fitted to the
original mast and from the ‘tip of
this, 106 feet above the sea plane, a
wire is suspended similar to that on
shore.
At the Siasconset wireleas^telegraph
station the instruments near li o’clock
this evening recorded -»e signals that
were being sent out from the light
ship searching ior Lueania. Finally,
about 6 o'clock it was demonstrated
that the two vessels were in commu
ntcatton. To make absolutely certain,
their circuit was temporarily broken,
to ask the lightsu.p if Lueania had
been heard from. 1 he answer came
back that the steamship had been
reached. From that time until 9.40
messages were sent in a stream from
Lueania. There were occasional in
terruptions for adjustment, but in u
general way It may be Bald that the
conditions were favorable and that
communication for nearly four hours
was unbroken.
From ihe Nantucket lightship to Lu
* cania was also sent a summary of the
news events of the world that had
happened sipce the steamship left the
other side.
The following message was among
those received at the lightship from
Lueania and then transmitted to the
land station. It is signed by Captain
McKay, in command of Lueania:
“AH well on boaru. vVe are 287
miles from Sandy Hook and with clear
weather expect to reach New York
harbor Saturday. Please Inform Cu
nard agents. M'KAY.”

THE STRIKE COMES WEST.
Throe Thouflamt Joliet Workmen Vote
to Obey 8baffer’s Order.
JOLIET. 111., Aug. 1(1.—The foilr
lodges of the Amalgamated association
employes of the Illinois Steel company
at the Joliet mills by a unanimous vote
decided to obey the strike order of
President Shaffer. The conference was
in session from 3 o’clock in the after
noon to 9 o’clock at night before the
decision was reached.
The steel mills were closed at no'on
to enable the members of the associa
tion to attend the meeting which was
called by National Assistant Secretary
Tighe after nis arrival here. He was
accompanied by Vice President Davis
of the Fourth district. Both men
presented the side of the association
to the local members. It was argued
that In order to secure the organiza
tion of non-union workers in the east
it was essential that the western men
would have to Join the strike move
ment.
Mr. Tighe also appealed to the fealty
o' the men to the association. He
urged them to be men and stand by
their union. His remarks were re
ceived with enthusiasm and caused the
vote that followed.
This action will close the entire
steel plant here, throwing out of em
ployment nearly 3,000.
BRISK NGHT1NG AT PANAMA.
Rebels Are Gradually Closing In on that
City and Colon.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 16.—The
British steamer Darien has arrived
here from Colon and brings reports
of heavy fighting Monday on the out
skirts of Panama and Colon. The reb
els were steadily advancing on the
towns proper. A large number of men
had been wounded.
A large number of wounded men
belonging to the government troops
were taken to Colon Monday. This is
regarded as an indication of th* per
sistency of the rebel attacks. The
converted cruiser Namouna has been
found practically useless, owing to the
bulging attempts to mount heavy guns
on her.
The Darien brought forty passengers
who were obliged to leave Colon in or
der to escape the danger and to avoid
conscription. The British consul at
Colon has entered a protest against
Jamaicans being compelled by the
Colombian government to fight against
the rebels.

I TWO CHARTERS TAKEN
—
Western Amalgamated Lodges Refusing
to Quit Work Are Disciplined.
SHAEEER HAS NO HOPE Of THEM
Says Since They Disobey Him Expulsion
Mast Follow — They Won’t Agree,
Though Their Aid Was Expected In
Crippling Mills.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—There will be
no strike of the employes of the steel
mills in South Chicago. This point
was settled last night when the men
refused to reconsider the action taken
Saturday night, at which time they
decided to stand by their contracts
with the mills and refused to join
the strikers. Aft. r they had declined
to reconsider. Assistant Secretary M.
F. Tighe, of the Amalgamated asso
ciation, who came to Chicago with the
intention of securing a revocation of
the action of Saturday night, if pos
sible, declared that he revoked the
charters of both lodges of the Amal
gamated association in the South Chi
cago mills and declared the men out
side tlie organization. The men greet
ed his announcement with laughter
and cheers. Mr. Tighe armed in the
city Wednesday and spent the day ar
ranging for a secret meeting of the
two lodges of the Amalgamated asso
ciation to be held last night. The
men gathered at the' appointed time,
but there were so few of them in the
hall that the end of the matter was
a foregone conclusion. By far the
greater number of the members of
the two lodges had gone to work In
stead of coming to the meeting and
only a handful was present. Mr. Tiglie
made a long address to the men, giv
ing them the story of the strike from
the standpoint of the Amalgamated
association and asking them to help
the men in the east by quitting the
mills in South Chicago. Several
speeches were made by the local mem
bers of the association in $eply to
Mr. Tighe, the general trend being
that the men considered themselves
bound by contracts with their employ
ers and that they did not think that
It was their duty to turn their backs
on these contracts at the bidding of
the association. At 11 o'clock a vote
was taken on the question of recon
sidering and by an overwhelming ma
jority the men refused to reopen the
question. Mr. Tiglie then announced
that the charters of both lodges were
revoked and the meeting dissolved.
After leaving the meeting Mr. Tigho!
expressed himself as greatly disap
pointed at the action taken this even
ing and said that he will go to the
Bayview mills at Milwaukee and also
to those at Joliet. He will repeat the
program at these places, explain to
the men the causes of the strike and
if they then decline to reconsider their
action in refusing to join the ranks
of the strikers lie will declare the
charters of all their lodges forfeited
and rule the men out of the associa
tion.

CONDITION Of IOWA CROPS.
Halos Have Helped I,i»te Corn In All bat
the Southeastern Portion.
United States Department of Agri
culture, Iowa Section, Climate and
Crop Service, Weather Bureau, Crop
Bulletin for Week Ending August 12,
Dea Moines, la.—The temperature of
last week was about normal, with in
creased humidity of the air and fairly
well distributed showers that came in
a maner to be very beneficial to all
growing crops. Drouthy conditions
of some severity still prevail in a
number of counties in the southeast
ern and east central districts, but in
the larger part of the state the sup
ply of moisture has been ample to
cause considerable improvement in
pastures, late corn, potatoes and gar
dens. Reports indicate that late corn
has eared sufficiently to give’prom
ise of a better yield than has been
anticipated if September is normally
fair and frostless. The early planted
portion of the crop is greatly damaged
and the ears generally show defective
fertilization. The crop as a whole
will be very valuable in quality of the
fodder and grain that matures and
much more than the usual acreage will
be harvested with binders.
Following are the estimates of crop
reporters as to the average condition
of crops: Corn, 55 per cent; spring
wheat, 84; oats, 75; barley, 83; flax,
74; millet, 62; potatoes, 34; pastures,
45; apples, 35; grapes, 70.
The threshing returns thus far re
ceived indicate that the oats crop is
generally better than the estimates
made August 1.
ILLINOIS CROP CONDITIONS.
Wheat and Oats All Right Hut Corn
Prospects Worst Ever Known.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 14.—The
Illinois department of agriculture to
day issued a summary of the reports
of its crop correspondents bearing
date of August 1.
The area of wheat harvested is
shown to be 1,870,000 acres; estimated
yield, 31,100,000 bushels, the largest
crop produced since 1894. The value
of the crop at 62 cents would be $19,
230,000, the best returns since 1892.
Area of oats, 3,775,000 acres; yield esti
mated, 110,500,000 bushels, valued at
$34,(^10,000. This price has been ex
ceeded but twice in thirty years—1S74
end 1882.
The corn area planted, 8,088,000
acres, was the largest since 1878, but
on August 1 the condition is the most
disheartening ever reported owing to
unprecedented hot weather and
•drouth. From the reliable estimate
the department finds that on August
1 the condition was 46 per cent of the
seasonable average.
GOES INSANE FROM BLINDER.
Operator Gives the Wrong Orders and
Reason Gives Way Under Strain.
FORT DODGE, la., Aug. 14.—James
Greene, station agent at Otho, a town
on the Minenapolis & St. Louis rail
way, a few miles south of Fort Dodge,
this morning through confusion of or
ders sent out a gravel train to meet
a fast freight coming from the north.
When he discovered that a collision
was inevitable Greene lost his rea
son and became violently insane, be
ing prevented from self-destruction by
those around him. He is now under
the influence of chloroform. It is
feared his reason is permanently im
paired. Greene received orders to let
the gravel train go to pass the freight
at Fort Dodge, but later orders noti
fied him that they would pass at Otho.
By mistake he gave the first orders
to the gravel train, which had gone
too far to be recalled before he no
ticed the blunder. He wired Fort
Dodge, but the freight had already
left. Then his mind snapped under
the strain.
The trains came together on a
heavy grade, but the crews Jumped
and escaped injury. The engines
were badly smashed, but aside from
this the damage was slight.

DE WITT, Neb., Aug. 14.—At a pub

Kdict Issued Against Drinking.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 14.—An edict
from General Manager Dickinson of
the Union Pacific road notified sev
eral thousand employes of that system
that either habitual drinking or the
mere-frequenting of saloons on their
part would in the future be considered
sufficient cause for their dismissal.
The first copy of the bulletin was
posted on the board at Union Pacific
headquarters and evoked a storm of
comment.
Growers Generally Do Not Consider the
Times Favorable for Marketing,
CAT ILE LOANS BEING EXTENDED
Nebraska Fruit an Important Feature at
the Buffalo Exposition—The Ease of
T. P. Kenuard Agai",t the State—Mis
cellaneous Nebraska Matters.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 14.—From re
ports received by Omaha bankers,
stock growers throughout the state
who are operating with Omaha money
have decided generally to carry their
stock over for another year and many
of the loans now held by the banks
in this city will be extended for
twelve months.
The bankers do not look on this ac
tion of their clients as any evidence
of inability to pay and in some cases
have recommended the extension of
the loans. There are a number of
people in the state who make a busi
ness of preparing stock for the packer
and butcher. They buy steers in the
fall as 2-year-olds, buy the corn to
feed them, and in the spring turn
them as fat stock into the markets.
This season the scarcity of corn has
driven many of these feeders out of
business and many farmers who have
fed their own cattle find that they
will have to sell, as they cannot raise
grajn sufficient to fatten the stock this
winter.
These causes have combined to
make the price cf feeding stock lower
than the men who are in the business
of raising cattle feel will repay them
for their work, so they have decided
to carry the steers through the win
ter on hay and foddfer and place them
on the market as grass-fed steers next
fall. ,
Reports received by bankers from
their Nebraska correspondents on the
condition of the corn crop are begin
ning to come in, and while they do
not confirm the fears of the most
pessimistic, they are far from as good
as the optimistic hoped for. One
banker is not satisfied with one re
port he received for the reason that
it is too bright, but an investigation
by others shows that it is not incor
rect. This report shows that Boyd
county, in the northwestern part of
the state, has probably passed through
the drouth better than any other part
of the country and that it will pro
duce more corn this year than it did
in 1900. There are two causes which
unite to produce this result. The first
is that while other portions of the
state were forgetting what a thunder
storm looked like, Boyd county was
visited by local showers at the most
opportune time. The other cause was
the increased acreage of corn.
Nebraska Fruit at Buffalo.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 14.—Nebras
ka home-grown fruit now constitutes
an important feature of the state’s ex
hibit at the Buffalo exposition. The
products displayed are collected from
various farms in eastern Nebraska un
der direction of th^ officers of the
State Horticultural society and fresh
shipments are sent daily to Buffalo.
“We get the best specimens from
Douglas, Nemaha, Dodge and Pawnee
counties,” said Secretary C. H. Bar
nard. ‘There are over 250 places in
our exhibit and it is no small task to
keep these constantly full of fresh,
ripe fruit. We have no difficulty,
however, in finding first class apples,
plums and peaches that would surprise
most of the people who live here in
Nebraska. Most of the plums come
from Douglas county, but we get good
apples from all of the counties I have
ment. The guards are delighted with
the new armament.

-s.1 '
THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
j Cattle—A dry lot of cattle predominated. *
with a fair supply received. Outside of
a string of southern cattle going through
to the range the major part of the run
consisted of beef steers. No special
change in the general market for steers
was noted, the demand equaling the num
ber on sale and prices throughout on beef
stock holding steady. Buyers were out
in good season, and while the market was
not especially lively, trade was in fair
shape and a good clearance was effected
early in the day, top beeves selling at
$5.90. The. heavy decline in prices on cows
and heifers tended to cut off the run in
that direction, and with a limited number
here values firmed up considerably and a
strong, active trade resulted. There was
also a better demand for stock cattle and
handy grades were free sellers at stronger
prices. Coarse, heavy and all undesirable
stuff was hard to move at uneven fig
ures. The market was also steadier on
bulls, stags and calves.
Hogs—Receipts were again moderate,
less than 100 fresh loads received. The
quality and weights show little difference,
the supply consisting largely of light and
light mixed hogs. The market was rather
slow in opening, as buyers were little dis
posed to strengthen prices, notwithstand
ing supplies were below the normal and
for light stuff, especially that showing
grass, prices were no better. Good hogs,
those showing weight and quality, sold
better from the opening, some of the best
fetching 5c higher than yesterday.
Sheep—Fifteen double-deck loads of
sheep from the ranges constituted today’s
supply. The number, while small, was suf
ficiently large to meet the moderate in
quiry and no improvement in price fol
lowed. The trade was rather dragging
and weak at recent decline. The trade in
lambs was Mso dull and market weak.
The quality of the offerings was only fair.

UNITE AGAINST COLOMBIA.
Venezuela, Nicaragua and Ecuador In
volved In Gen Uribi-Urlbe'ft Schemei.
NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—News has
been received in this country involv
ing Venezuela, Nicaragua and Ecua
dor in the attempt of General Rafael
Uribe-Uribe, the Colombian rebel lead
er, to overthrow the government of
Colombia, says the Tribune. A year
ago it was known to the Colombian
authorities that the rebels under Uribe
were receiving material assistance
from these republics and recent devel
opments and information received by
Colombian secret service agents con
firm the belief that these countries are
preparing open and simultaneous at
tacks on Colombia. It has further
been learned that the plan of attack
has practically been agreed upon.
Large numbers of Nicaraguans have
already joined the rebels in the de
partment of Panama and it will be
these marauding' bands the United
States wil have to deal with if it be
comes necessary to land marines at
Colon or Panama to protect Ameri
can interests on the Isthmus.
Venezuela’s point of attack will
naturally be from the Colombian
Venezuelan border, where the recent
battles are reported to have taken
place between Venezuelan regulars and
an invading army, commanded, ac
cording to Venezuelan authorities, by
General Gonzales Valencia. It • is
somewhat doubtful, however, if Gen
eral Valencia had anytning to do with
this movement unless war has already
broken out between Venezuela and
Colombia. If the present plans are
carried out, the rendezvous of the
Ecuadorean rebels will be in the
southern part of the department of
Cauca, where two Colombian rebel
generals are now said to be encamped
with 4,000 troops.
