The Columbia Cable.
Mr. IL A. 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.

POWDEBLY'S TESTIMONY.
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,

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.

the seizure.

BRITISH COLUMBIA SALMON CANNERIES.
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

Rivers' Inlet and Alert Bay can

which will largely increase their
pack.
Of salt salmon' barreled tho follow
ing figures were ebtained:

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
