Starrs, who contracted lo supply and lay the new Columbia river cable from Astoria to Fort Canby, is on pins and needles over the slow progress it is making across the continent. Ho has good reason to bo uneasy, for if tho cable is not in place by the 25th inst. ho forfeits S100 for every day that transpires nfter that dato until the cable is in placo. As the cable was on the Northern Pacific lines, Mr. S; G. Fulton was the gen tleman to give the following explena tion to the News of tho cablt's delay: "The cable is in two tanks of water which are loaded on Pennsylvania railroad cars. The two tanks, includ ing their contents, weigh C9,C00 pounds. When it is considered that n freight car's load is 20,033 pounds it will bo seen that the car containing the cable is over-weighted. As a re suit the journals have been over heated, burning out the brasses, ne cessitating the car being sidetracked until new brasses could be nut in. In order to avoid further delay the car will be thoroughly overhauled when it reaches Heron, and a me chanic will accompany it to Portland. supplying brasses whenever needed on the trip. A car has never passed over the road with as heavv a load. The cable was imported from En gland and is covered with a gutta pcrcha coating, which protects it from the water. If the head cable is exposed to the air it becomes cracked and practically useless, which ac counts for its being transported across the continent in water. On the ar rival of the car here the car will be run down to the water's edge and the cable will be taken out of the car tanks and recoiled into similar ones on n barge, which will convey it to its destination at Astoria.' Mr. Fulton thinks the cable will arrive here before the 25th. It is to be hoped it will, for Mr. Starr's sake. Sunday News. Reported Strike at Tillamook.

Hews Specials From Two Continents- Warlike Speech From Germany's Emperor. New York, Aug. 20. General mas ter workman T. V, Powderly testified before the immigration committee to-day, on the subject of imported contract labor. He said the system was most reprehensible. The condi tion of the workers in the Pennsyl vania mines ne said, was scarcely describable. In the coal regions, na tive miners had been driven out by Hungarians, and other cheap foreign workingmen, who live in a filthy state on tho cheapest kind of food, so that American miners cannot compete with them. Their sleeping quarters are disgusting. "Their immorality is startling. The universal opinion of tho American workingmen," said Powderly, "is that the men along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad, Hungarians and Italians, who are designated only by brass checks hung on their pantaloons are not desirable American citizens." The Germans took pride in learning the English language, and be thought that no person should be admitted to citizen ship, until he was able to read and understand the Declaration ot Inde pendence, and the Constitution of the United States. Of course foreign consuls abroad should inquire into, and report, upon the character of every man who leaves foreign countries for the United States, TDKBULENT TIMES.

Marine major Howes and family of Boston, with Indian guides, forming a party of ten, iu three canoes, while passing up the Tobiquo river thirty-six miles from Audover yesterday, were fired on by an unknown person, Mis. Howe was instantly killed. There is no clue to the murderer. REMARKS FROM TIIE EMPEROR. Berlin, Aug. 20. The Emperor made a speech last Saturday at the headquarters of the first infantry, the occasion being tho anniversary ot the battle of St. Privat which led to tho eventual triumph of Germany. The semi-offi-cjal report of the speech represents him as lauding this event as of im portance for the whole army. He was convinced that should the regi ment's time come again it would not be behind in its achievements ot that day eighteen years ago. The speech was received with en thusiastic cheers. FOREIGN POLITICS. St. Petersburg, Aug. 20. Italy's note in relation to the seizure ot Massowah does not effect Russia's attitude on the question. Russia will conform to the views of Turkey, whose interests were prejudiced by the seizure. LYKOn LAW. Guide Rook, Nebraska, Aug. 20. Billy Cole, who shot Wm.

The Victoria, British Columbia, Standard of the -10th, contains the following information on tho run: The salmon run in the Fraser river is much more encouraging of late. Last Sunday night the boats averaged 60 and 70 each. If the run holds up to that average the season's catch on the Fraser will bo fairly good. The same paper on tho liko date contains the following information on the pack further up the British Columbia coast. Amongst the arrivols on the Cari boo Fly is Mr. Thomas Mowatt, in spector of fisheries, who has been paying an official visit to tho northern fisheries. Mr. Mowatt states that there is little chance of tho Skeena river being over fished, as owing to the present arrangement it is only possible to fish eight hours out of the twenty-four, and that this, with the weekly close time, gives a better chance to'tho fish to ascend to the spawning grounds in tho higher reaches of the river. Tho various packs, as near as could be estimated until the fish ore cased, are as fol fel fol eows: Cases. Inverness Canning Co 15 1C0 Windsor Canning Co H 000 Balmoral Canning Co D fl00 Cunningham's Canning Co 14 500 B. A.P.Co 1G COO A. J. McXellnn (Naas) estimated 12 000 Itivor Inlet Packing Co 8 000 Whennack Packing Co 7 000 Alert Bay 3 000 Total 1)9,000 Rivers' Inlet and Alert Bay can neries are still canning Sockeyo sal mon and expect to can Cohoe salmon which will largely increase their pack. Of salt salmon' barreled tho follow ing figures were ebtained: Windsor Canning Co., half barrels.. 100 Victoria Paoking Co.,barreIs 1,000 Scandinavian Packing Co., barrels.. 500 Hall (Albert Bay), barrels 30 H. B. Co. (Naas riTer) barrels 1,300 Smith's Inlet 200 The Inverness and Windsor can neries had ceased packing when tho Fly left, and the Balmoral, Cun ningham's and B. A. P. Co. expected to close down on Monday or Tuesday. Last year British Columbia packed outside of the Frazer river, 72,190 coses, and this year if the above be correct it will go over 100,000 cases. Including Fraser, which is fair to presume will not be less than 100,000 cases this year's pack will equal that otl887. Tho pack on Fraser river last year aggregated 128,800 cases. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to bo af ilicted? If you will remember a fen years ago the word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in tho English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria aro intended to cover what our graudfathers callod Billionsness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its func tions hnding it cannot dispose of tlio bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through tho system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Uillious i'ever, etc. ion who aro suffering can well appreciate n cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures aro mar velous. Sudden Death of Chief Justice Jones. Seattle, W. T., Aug. 1!).
