The situation nt s.. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 11.-As stated
in previous dispatch, the engineers
held a meeting this afternoon, and
after a long session they decided to go
to work and run their engines unless
they were actually prevented from
doing so. 1t was then decided by
Superintendent Kerrigan to send a
freight train west, and preparations
were Immediately made to make up a
train. After considerable of a
wait, a locomotive came down the
track manned by Engineer Marvin and
fireman Harrison, and the work ofmall-
ing up a train was at once begun. Super
intendent Kerrigan and Train-Master
Clark were active participants. As the
time for departure approached, and
when the train was almost ready to
start, two men appeared on the scene,
one of whom proved to be John d.
Williams, president of the Local
Executive Committee of the Knights
of Labor. The latter Immediately
entered into a low-toned con.
versation with Engineer Marvin
and after considerable talk and
evident pleading the engineer stepped
from his cab and announced that he
would not take out the train. The
locomotive was returned to the round.
house. Superintendent Kerrigan
stated that no further effort would be
made to move trains to-day, and thus
ended the first effort to resume traffic
on the Missouri Pacific road. The
little knot of men who had collected
near the engine when they compre'
hended the situation, and who were
chiefly strikers or their sympa
thizers, congratulated Mr.. Will
Jams upon his success in inducing
Engineer Marvin to abandon his en-
CINE, and all quietly dispersed. II
cannot be definitely stated what the
company will now do, but the proba
bilities are that further and more per
sistent efforts will be made tomorrow
TO send out trains. The management
of the road have continued to employ
new men during the day. Numerous
applications were made by men fol
work, and all competent or otherwise
acceptable persons were employed.

AVAILABLE DISCOVERY.

A most valuable scientific discovery
is reported from Vienna. 1t was made
by Herr Ernest Freund, and 10y 1t he
proposes to arrest the decomposition
of blood so that it may be examined
at their leisure by chemists or
physicians. He simply pours the
blood into a clean glass, or other re-
ceptacle, Of which the sides have been
coated with a thin film OF oil. When
the vessel has been nearly filed, an
other layer of oil is poured on the top
of it, to prevent contact with any sub
stance TO which the blood might adj
here. The coagulation of blood with
in quarter OF an hour after its et-
fusion has proved a great obstacle to
scientific experiments with micro-or-
ganisms, and all the means hitherto
tried to prevent coagulation, including
that TO which DIR. Haycraft OF Edin-
burch has attached his name, have
been more or less unsatisfactory, be-
cause they altered the chemical com
position of the blood According tc
Freund's method the oil should be
perfectly clear, so that there shall benz
center OF coagulation by any hard par
ticle Of foreign matter Placed in
glass tube under the conditions stated
the blood will, it is said, remain liquid
for several days. Nor is il necessary
for this purpose that it should be KEEP
at normal blood temperature. If /
be merely wished to preserve The
blood in a liquid state, ordinary TEN
perature will be sufficient.

Yesterday, a resolution was adopted

. o,plrAL AND LABOR CRISIS.

That the numerous disputes be-
tween labor and capital must some
day bring on a crisis has long been
evident to intelligent observers OF
passing events. That the anticipated
crisis may be involved in the railway
strike now extending from st. Louis
TO the interior Of Texas, and that that
may prove to be the looked.i1r oata-
Clysm, is by many regarded as pos
sible. The origin of the strike is OF
comparative insignificance, but each
side in the dispute appears determined
TO make the occasion test case. >
The things to be tested are shsll
capital, as general thing, dominaie
labor, as has been the case iot cen
turies-or shall labor dominatecapital,
an obi Ct nobody claiTns to, have in
yiew-or shall settlements in cases OF
dispute be effected by stbitratlon, in
which both parties shall appear on
equal terms1 Should the present rail-
way dispute end in the estab-
ment Of such system, the
strike will be worth all, short of
violence, ihst 1t may cost. Labor en-
tiers to-day into contests with capita!
under new aspects that have grown
up within the last few years. The
mass Of the laboring class we're for
merly chaotic contiguity of uncom-
bined materials. These could be
easily managed by operating upon the
individual parts, the personal interests
OF one portion being separated from
or put in opposition TO those Of an
other. sCapital on the other baud has
more and more consolidated it's indi-
vidual parts. Monopolies have come
into being, immense corporations
have been formed, in both oil
which individual interests have
been blended. MonopOlies have
bought or forced off opposition, and
corporations have "pooled their is
sues" The result is such monopolies
as the Standard Oil Company, and
corporations controlling from 5000
to 10000 miles OF railroad. These
vast aggregates OF individuals as EN-.
ployers, and smaller aggregates in pro
portion, have had great advantages
over the disunited workingmen
These dictated what wages labor
should be paid, and often arranged
that workmen discharged by one
should be refused employment by the

THE FINAL STRUGGLE.

THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
LONDON, September 1st-In the decid-
ing heat of the international sculling
sweepstakes between William Beach of
Australia and John Teemer of the United
States, Beach won.
The boat-race was rowed over the reg
ular championship course, from Putney
to Mortlake. At Hammersmith bridge
Beach led Teemer by six lengths. The
umpires boat struck one of the buttresses
of the bridge and was disabled, prevent
ing her from following the race to the
finish
When given the signal Teemer, rowing
thirty-six strokes to the minute, was the
quickest at starting, but Beach, pulling
thirty-eight strokes, caught up with him
almost instantly, and in short time led
him by half length. AT Walden's
Beach had increased the lead to two
lengths. Teemer here spurted with the
utmost gameness, but without avail.
Beach, without increasing the rate of his
stroke, kept the advantage, and at the
AIdLhuISISullIII DIIuSG was IOuI IGHSJllS
in advance. Teemer was then rowing a
hopeless stern race, though still working
pluckily to lessen the distance between
him and the Australian. From this
point Beach almost padded home, win
ming with consummate ease by ten
lengths. Experts declare Beach to be
the greatest sculler who has ever been
seen in England. He looked to-day as
though he could row ten miles at racing
speed. The betting on Beach at the start
was to 1, but this increased when the
rowers reached Hammersmith bridge to
20 to l. The time of the race was
twenty two minutes and fifty seconds.

THE ROYAL JUBILEE.

We direct attention to an important
call to the patriotism and loyalty of all
Hawaiians, whether aliens by birth or
native born, which appears in another
part of to-day's paper. 1t is signed by
several leading Hawaiians, and is GER
tain to meet warm response through
out the Kingdom among all ranks and
conditions. As is we'll known, on No
vember 18th of this year His Majesty the
King will celebrate his fiftieth birthday,
and it is proposed to organize in advance
for the proper and becoming observance
of that event. The idea is an excellent
one, and should be acted upon. Let an
organization be formed and effort sys-
tented. BY so doing vastly more may
be accomplished than would be possible
without thorough organization. The oc-
casion is one that suggests loyal action
and liberal expenditure, and We believe
that sufficient funds will be forthcoming
to make the Kings fiftieth birthday one
of the most successful festivals ever cele-
brated in this Kingdom.
