UNION MUCH STUONC.Klt.
President Casey Reviews City
Federation Strike.
Front
HAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-Presl-deni
Casey of the City Front Federa
tion, reviewing the strike situation,
says:
"The unions nre In a much stronger
position now thin they were a week ago.
The m -n are more than ever determined
to win their tight. Not one desertion
from the union has be n reported to the
federation.
"No one can say what turn the strike
may take during the coming week. Fre
quent conferences are being held, but
II is impossible to predict when one of
them will lead to results that will he sat
isfactory to the contending parties. I
cannot say that we are nearer a settle
ment today than we were a week nno.
It Is my opinion thn; we are not so
near a settlement.
"Etimigh money has been lost by the
employers to convince them that a strike
Is a losing gum,, for them. It may
be necessary for the Industries of the
city to remain Inactive for. several weeks
more before they w ill be convinced. The
strike is undoubtedly harming the In
terests of San Frnnclsoo, but It must
go on until unionism Is triumphant."
SITUATION STILL UNCHANGED.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12,-There
has been no material change In the
strike situation today. Efforts at con
ciliation are still being made and to

LINES OF CUP CHALLENGER.
I'ronouncM by Experts as Handsomest
Craft Ever Challenged for Cup.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-Shamrock II.
as she lay at anchor at Stapteton, S. I.,
today had many visitors. She wis ex
amined by nautical experts and the
general verdict was that she looked
hamlsome.
Hut easy and graceful lines of racing
In a craft abov the water line are not
factors that pro-Juce the speed that wins
prizes, -ay experts. It' is the form of
the craft below the water line the shape
nf the under body.. In fact thai does
successful work in the way of "liftiijg"
the cups.
That Shamrock II. U by far the hand
somest an most gric ful yacht that
has ever challenged for America's cup
must be conc?i- d by all. She easily out
classes ".he first Shamrock.
Shamrock I. had an ugly coarse bow
that used to pound and batter the water
w henever the slightest semblance of a I
hard ei was raised. The bow of Sham- i
rock II. reminds one of that of the
Columbia. I: has a va-st penetrating j
power and will divide the water with
eas?. The whole 'orbojy of the chal
lenger shows clever adaption and skil
ful modifications of the forward sectUis
of all go-J parts of the Watson and
Fife and Hern-shoo, creations.
SHAMP.OCK II. IN ERIE BASIN.
Capt. Sycamore and Capt, Matthews
Give Opinion on Cup Defenders.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. The new
America's cup challenger Shamrock II.
wa towed to Erle basin today, where
she will be stripped ami her racing mast
stepped.
Captain Sycamore, who Is to have ab
solute charge of Shamrock II. In the
races, gave It as his opinion that the
Columbia Is a better boat thin the Con
stitution. Captain Wm. Matthews, com
mander of the Erin, said:
' Vi'g fear the Columbia more than we
do the Constitution. The limit has been
reached beyond any doubt and few on
board believe that the Herreshoffs have
succeeded In making any great Improve
ment upon the Columbia."
CANADIAN BOAT WON.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. la a 12-Unot
breeze and a smooth sea, Invader, the
royal Canadian yacht club's challenger,
won the second race of the Interna
tional series for the Canada cup almost
as easily as the defender. The Detroit
boat club's Cadillac won the first race
last Saturday.
ASKED TO INTERFERE.
Representative to Re Sent to Caracas In

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 The state
department "as authorized Dr. Russell
the American charge d'affaires at Car
acas, Venezuela, to use his good offices
for Colombia in case the Colombian
minister at the Wnezuelan capital leaves
that country. Dr. RussMl telegraphed
last week, seeking information as to
his course of action In case of the with
drawal of the Colombian minister, which
apparently was In contemplation at that
time. The state department has no In
formation as to whether Mr. Russell is
fulfilling this temporary duty.
There have b--cn no additional devel

KOCH'S THEORY DISCUSSED.
Former Professor of Bovine Pathology
Does Not Wholly Agree With
the Doctor.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Dr. Edward
F. Brush, of Mount Vernon. N. Y, for
merly pressor of bovine pathology in
the American Veterinary College, Is es
pecially 'nterested in the theory advanc
ed by Prof. Koch that the bovine tu
berculos germ is not of the same va
rletv as the human tubercular germ and
that there is no dinger from milk and
meat to men. Dr. Frush said:
"I cannot ag:e? with Dr. Koch in
everything he says: I am of the opin
ion that tubercular conditions in men
and animals ar, lden:ical after they are
started. My occupation brings me in
clos contaot with dairy cattle and I
have been compelled to devote my at
tention to the subject of tuberculosis
afflic:ing dairy stu-k.
"One fact that strengthens my belief
that humir. baecllliry tuberculosis is all
derives from the bovlne species Is that
where this animal does no; exist, pul
monary consumption is unknown. The
Kirgis, on the steppes of Russia, who
have no cows, have domesticated the
horse, using Its milk, meat and skin.
and a case of pulmonary tuberculosis
has never been known in ttv tribe. The
Esquimau has no cows, neither has he
pulmonary' psthisis and I think It can
be laid down as a fact that where the
dairy cow is unknown pulmonary con
sumption does not prevail.
"Let us treat this disease and espec
ially among the cows as leprosy was
treated of old. and then we shall be
saved from the painful necessity of
treating the human race In like man
ner, for I am convinced that if we
stamp out tuberculosis in the bovine
race a few generations will eliminate i
from tha humki family."

TOO MANY POLICEMEN.
Governor Taft Will Reduc Number la
Manila by One-Half.

Taft, in the Immediate future, will re
duce the police force of Manila by one
