New York, Aug. 11. "The strike
on the New York Central ia bound to
be a3 important in tbo political as in
the business "world," said "Win. Price,
ono of the most prominent labor
leaders in the city, to-night.
"Chauncey M. Depew -will mako him
self president or ruin all the chances of
his ever getting the nomination by
his action in this matter. It is be
lieved among all labor men that
Depew knew the strike was coming,
and for that reason fled to Europe,
knowing that while there political in
fluence could not bo brought to bear
upon him, which would force him into
conciliating with the Knights."
"What then should ho do under the
circumstances ? "
"He should either come home at
once and show Vanderbilt that his in
terest is to yield to these men, which
would simply prove these men were
discharged without cause, other than
they are members of the Knights. Mr.
Depew, failing in being able to make
Vanderbilt yield, should resign his po
sition as president If he settles the
strike the laboring men all over the
country would feel most kindly to
him. If he should make a martyr of
himself by resigning, they would wor
ship him, and no power on earth could
keep him from being nominated for
the presidency and probably being
elected."
Are Knights so powerful as to do
much politically?"
"Their membership is over 350,000,
and they are politically allied on the
closest terms with the Farmers' Alli
ance, which is strong in very many
states, where Depew, because of his
railroad connections, is weak. If
Depew does nothing but talk in this
matter he will be killed deader than
Hector as to all political ambitions."

Special to The AstoeiaxI
NewYoek, Aug. 1L All through
the night and early this morning it
looked as though the strike on the N.
Y. Central was slowly but surely pe
tering out, nevertheless, both parties,
so far as words went, at all events are
as stubborn as ever.
The Buffalo express and newspaper
train moved out on time at 5 a. m., and
before 7 o'clock two trains had been
sent out over the Harlem division.
Soon after the announcement was
made that all trains would be run to
day. Police arrangements remain the
same as yesterday, except the men are
told not to leave their posts an instant.
Vice-president Webb contradicted
the statement made hist evening that
the firemen had struck. He addod
that arrangements were being per
fected for moving freight to-day. The
first freight which has moved since
the strike, left yesterday for Albany at
1) a. 11. No opposition was made by
the strikers, sis a heavy guard of police
was on hand.
The G3ih street yard from which
the first shipment of freight was
made, is the most important in the
city. A freight train passed Spnyten
Duyvil at 10:30, and everything to that
point was all right At 11 o'clock
everything was in good shape at the
Grand Central depot. There is no
exci'emenl around the depot except
large numbers of men looking for
work, at the temporary employment
bureau.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 1L The peo
ple of Oklahoma are preparing an
appeal to congress for relief from
famine. The country has not pro
duced sufficient food to keep people
from starvation, and in connection
with this fact citizens have been there
nearly two years without being able
to raise anything to live on. They
went in late the first season and barely
existed through the winter. Then
when they expected to make a crop
this year they were met with one of
the worst draughts ever known in this
country- Vegetation throughout the
whole territory was burned and there
was no possible show of even raising
fodder for stock. The people ex
hausted all their meanB and arc now
compelled to live on charity. The na
tion at largo are absolutely without
means and cannot get away. Tho
horrors of the situation cannot bo ap
preciated except by observation.
Whole families are on tho verge of
starvation. Some lived on what they
could glean from fields in the shape of
dried immature corn. Others were
compelled to kill domestic animals to
keep their families alive.

Numerous protests have been for

Oregon seemed to stand still. No

there aro many reasons for tho rapid

more pupils than we had at this time
last year, and many of them aro turn
ing out splendidly. I don't want any
bettor scholar than a plucky girl who
i3 not .afraid of tho wnter, and goes in
to it with the determination to learn
how to swim. This class of learn
ers are away up iu the majority,
and it is a rare thing
to find a timid young woman, or ono
who wants to retreat after tho first few
lessons. As a rule they aro a3 en
thusiastic as thoy are vigorous, and
they quickly take to all the various
styles of swimming and floating. Yrou
must remember that'a girl has, in pro
portion to her size, a larger expanse of
chest than a man, which means in her
cess an increased buoyant capacity.
They have come to know this, which
perhaps accounts for their growing
fearlessness in the water. Just teach
a courageous girl tho proper motion of
tho arms and legs and you have in her
tho making of a good swimmer.

they boldly predict that Morrow will
bo the nominee, as boldly as tho

ham, but whether enough to give him
a winning lead is what "Nofellow
can find out. This is all that can bo
definitely stated. Predictions can
only bo based upon conjectures. It
looks to-night as though E. G. Waite
would be nominated for secretary of
the state, Theodore Eckert, for surveyor-general,
and J. H. Neff for state j
treasurer. Between the Golden Eagle ,
and the Capitol hotels are stretched
.two banners, one reads "W. W. Mor
row, on guard in Washington for
California interests.' The other
reads 'Oro Fino Eepublican
Club of Los Angeles, Cal. No flies on
us." The convention will assemble at
2 p. xr. to-morrow in the senate cham
ber. The room is very elaborately
decorated with bunting and ever
greens. It is probable that "Edward
Bruner, of Sacramento will be chair
man of tho convention. This matter,
with the preliminary organization,
will be settled to-night or to-morrow
by a committee composed of repre
sentatives of tho several candidates.
The weather is very hot. Tho hotels
are jammed and everybody is wishing
the matter was settled.

Olympic Hancre.
Special to The Astoriax.
Sax Francisco, Aug. 11. A sample
of gold quartz was brought here jes
terday by some prospectors from tho
Olympic range. It was assayed at
Everett's assaying works and ran up
to S200.000 per ton. This of course
was almost pure, but prospectors say
the ledge it was taken from, will assay
10,000 clear through. Much excite

'The ITIoldcrs' Strike iu 'Frisco.
Special to Tnn Astoriax.
Sax Fraxcisco, Aug. 11. The
molders report everything quiet. They
succeeded in inducing two more men
to leave the Pacific foundry to-day
and shipped them east at once. It is
supposed, however, that their places
will be filled soon, as a lot aro now on
tho way from tho east and will soon
arrive. This new importation has
been expected several days, and has
probably been delayed by washouts in
the south.
A Physician's Opinion.
Dr. A.M. Spauldixg of Grand Itapids
Mich., says: 'I prescribe Hibbard's
Kheumatic Syrup in my practice, and
unhesitatingly recommed it. It operates
upon the liver, kidneys and bowels, de
stroying the poison in the blood and
tissues. It is a nrand tonic and ap
petizer, and foi a diseased stomach or
dyspepsia, has no equal." Jj or sale by

Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 11. Advices
have been received from South Al
berta, Northwest territory, to the ef
fect that the Mormons who came into
that country from Utah are corrupt
ing the Indians with their doctrines.
The government tried to impress on
the Indians the necessity of monog
amy and refused them supplies for
more than one wife, but the Mormons
aro teaching them many so-called ad
vantages in the multiplicity of wivesT
Thero is every indication that the
Mormon evil in the west is liable to
grow into a serious difficulty.

Wood as a Source of Unman Food.
In an address at Heidelberg by
Victor Meyer, it is announced ''that
Ave may reasonably hope that chem
istry will teach us to make the fibre of
wood a source ot human food." What
an enormous stock of food, then, will
bo found, if this becomes possible, in
tho woods of our forests or even in
grass and straw! Tho fibre of wood
consists essentially of cellnlin. Can
this be made to change into starch?
Staich has exactly the same percentage
composition, but, as every one knows,
it diners very much in it3 properties,
and tho natures of its molecule is
probably much more complex. Cel
lnlin is of little or no dietetic value,
and it is not altered, like starch, in
boiling water. It readily gives
glucose when treated with strong
snlphuric acid, as is easily shown
when cotton wool, which is practically
pure cellnlin, is merely immersed in it
Starch give3 the samo product when
boiled with weak acid. The author
further quotes tho researches of
Hellreigel, which go to show beyond
dispute that certain plants transform
atmospheric nitrogen into albumen,
and that this process can bo improved
by suitable treatment The produc
tion, therefore, of starch from cellnlin,
together with the enforced increase o
albumen in plants would, he adds, in
reality signify the abolition of the
bread question. It must be borne in
mind, however, that theory, fascinat
ing and promising though it may be,
is not alwaj s capable of being followed,
np by practical result. The Lancet.
All the villages in tho province of
Yalencia Avhich were first attacked by
the cholera, were so thoroughly
cleansed and disinfected, their sewers
examined and flushed, and such care
taken to stop the spread of the in
fection directly fresh cases wero de
tected, that the medical men attribute
the decrease of tho epidemic to these
sauitarv measures.
There is a movement among the en
listed men at London, Aldershott and
elsewhere to present complaints as to
long standing abuses.
