SHIPFItfT DEMORALIZED.
Coal Steamers Seek 1 Wtum Cargw?
at Low Rates.
NEW YORK, Oct lO.-One direct
direct result of the Importation of coal
on H large scvle Is demoralization of
trans-Atlantic shipping on this side to
an extent that has seldom, tf In fact
ever been equalled, says the Journal
of Commerce.. Agents of more than
25 large steamers that have been char
tered to bring coal and Iron and steel
to this country are now seeking return
cargoes for their vessels. They are
offering them for various dates up to
December loading at lsiVid for the
largest steamers and less for the
smaller vessels, and quite a number of
steamers have been chartered so far
this month for return cargoes, largely
oh tae orepolng terms.
The others will .depart from either
Boston or Portland, and under current
conditions. Is 's expected that virtu
ally all the other steamers when char
tered will leave by these northern
ports. A large part of the grain to be
shipped by these ports is Canadian
wheat, .although American spring nil!
also go quite freely. Lake and rail
grain via Buffalo, it Is understood is
not concerned In the new arrangement.

The .Irst row was over the question of
eligibility to membership. A rcsolu
tion was adopted that let down the
bars too much to ruit some cf the staU
delegations with a 'arge membership
in the oider. This caused Ill-feeling.
Later friction fn the union dew loped
rapidly in consequence of the adoption

ganisation withdrew, those remaining
re-electing General Dyrenforth and the
seceders taking steps to form a new

Pefore adjourning today the encamp

Harvard Professor Discovers Lightning
WU1 Not Strike Water.
NEW-YORK, Oct. lO.-Eiperlments
conducted by Prof. John Trowbridge
of Harvard University, have led to the
definite statement, says a Times spec
ial from Boston, that lightning will not
strika water. By means of a battery
of 20,000 cells he obtained a voltage of
S. 000.000 which force, he says, at least
comparable to lightning and enabled
him to deduce his conclusions. He
said: " 1 !" ;'' '
"With my battery I war able to ob
tain an electric spark about, seven feet
long and found that Instead of striking
the water a spark of six or seven feet
In length Invariably Jumped to some
adjacent object in preference to strik
ing; the liquid surface, v x spark of
only a few inches in length, however,
will strike the water, but such a spark
la not comparable to lightning.
'Beyond a million volts, the Initial
resistance of atmospheric air to elec
trical discharges becomes less and less
and the discharge therefore Is shunted
through the "air Instead of upon the
water and strikes some object adjacent
to the water."

of the' stockholders of the Oregon Short

the Interests of the Oregon Railroads

It is asserted that this consolidation
will go into effect the first of the year

NEW YOl.'K. Oct. 10,-If the miners'
strike continues a few days longer.
says the Tribune, paralysis of the gar
ment and cloak Industry, one of the
greatest sources of employment on the
East Side, may be expected.
One of the most conservative mem
bers of the Garment makers' Union,
who has been for years associated with
that Industry, Is quoted to the effect
that 10 days more of the strike wil!
mean the throwing out of work of at
least 26,000, This "would be caused by
the Inability of the pressers to get any
coal or other fuel with which to heat
their Irons. A good deal of presninR
is done In the tenements, women and
children do a considerable share of It
and the margin of profit Is so small
that the cost to changing to some
other mode of heating iB declared to
be out of the question.
