The London Strike Shows
No Signs of Settlement.
THE DOCKMEN's ULTIMATUM
Parliament Pr0rOgued Americans
to be Expelled From
China.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
LONDON, August Indications this
morning are not very favorable to an i'm
mediate settlement of the strike. A meet
ing of the committee of strikers was held
last night, at which important action was
taken looking to making the strike gen
eral. A manifesto was issued early this
morning solemnly appealing to the work
ers in every calling in London to strike
Monday next, unless the demands OF the
dockmen are conceded. The final de-
mands are six pence an hour for regular
days work, eight pence an hour for over
time, counting from 6 p. m. to a. IN. !;
under the contract system the pay to be
eight pence during the regular working
hours, a shilling for over time, nobody
to be employed loss than four hours. A
mass meeting OF workingmen has been
called for Sunday at Hyde Park.
THE SITUATION BECOMING GRAvER.
The manifesto was signed by all Lon
dou laborers, including the Stevedores' ,
Sailors and Firemen's Unions, number
| ing 10000. The accession of these
is most important. If the dock COM
panies refuse to accede to the terms de-
manded, grave complications must ensue
forthwith.
The condition OF affairs becomes gravel
hourly. Burke addressed 5000 men al
Tower Hill, giving as the watchword
'No surrender" He was cheered to the
echo.
Three thousand iron workers a
Keighley have struck.
Cardinal Manning, Sir Andrew Lusl
and the Lord Mayors deputy, Smith
conferred with the officials of the docl
companies today. 1t is understood tina
the Cardinal pleaded the cause OF th'
strikers.
LONDON WILL BE IN DARKNESS.
1t is reported that the gas stokers arr
dissatisfied. Fears are entertained tina
London will be in darkness in case the.
strike, with additional danger by reason
of neglected retorts.
The strikers are boasting that Monda.
next will witness gigantic amalgamate'
strike of workers in every industry unles
.he ultimatum of the dockmen is accepted
by noon tomorrow. In an interview thi
evening, j. Burns, leader of the strikers
said he felt depressed, although he hope,
for the best.

children. No American city, and least
of all Los Angeles, would long continue
to deny all its children full school
facilities. Hence the proposition SUBJ
mitted to the citizens today to vote for
the sale of 100000 of bonds to
build school houses, SO that every child
of school age shall have the privilege OF
full time instead of half time at school.
Plans for the structures for the various
districts have been submitted, and with
the money that will be voted today we
have no doubt that Los Angeles will
again take her place at the very head OF
cities on this coast for the beauty and
amplitude of her school buildings, and
for the efficiency Of her system OF public
education.

Today,s Election for school Bonds.

TOday,s Election for school Bonds.
The people of this city are called upon
today to vote upon the issuance Of
100000 of bonds for public school pur'
poses. The estimated cost of sites is
placed at SAL 900, and the rest, $159. 900,
is to be spent in new school buildings.
There mover was any objection to the
issuance of these bonds. The HERALD
and a large number of citizens strenu-
ously objected to the adoption of the site
on Cemetery hill for the High School
and 30 pronounced became the opposition
to this selection that the Board of Edu'
cation deemed it better to withdraw the
site than to imperil the vote on the
bonds, and official action to that effect
was taken. There is now no opposition
to the school bonds, and it is very prob
able they will be authorized by unani
nous vote today.
The lack of school accom- mediation in
this city has been signally demonstrated
in the past two years. The city has
grown 30 rapidly and the population
has so greatly increased in 80 short a
time, that it was impossible
for the school authorities to keep
pace with the demand for increased
school room. A very large percentage
of the children Of this city has therefore
been compelled to be content with hall
time, for in no other way could even a
partial participation in the school ad-
vantages Of the city be availed Of by the
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-31

IT Is to be regr cited that in argument
80 many people allow their minds to be
carried away from sober reflection, and
to make exaggerated statements that are
not borne out by the facts in the case
In discussing the sewer bond proposition
tho advocates of the sohonao t-iod 70
catch votes by representing this city as
being in most deplorable state for lack o.
sewers and as being very unhealthy from
this lack. This same unfairness of mind
led the same advocates to apply uncom-
plimentary names to the honest and in
telligent people who saw fit to
differ from them on this propo-
sition. "Mossbacks," "Silurians,"
"Obstructionists' and similar names
were freely applied to very
large and most respectable portion
of the community. OF course those who
stated that the city was in such sad
condition knew that what they said was
not true. When they stated that the
city was in a most unhealthy condition
they knew the statements were without
foundation in fact. When they charged
the people who were opposed to the
plan laid before them with being against
all eorts of Improvements, and as lack
ing in progress and public spirit, they
knew these charges were very unjust.
1t is we'll tie outside world should be
informed that all those false statements
were the outgrowth of somewhat
heated discussion. This city has quite
an efficient system of sewers. The health
Of this community is most excellent. So
good that it's parallel is not to be found
elsewhere. The citizens are progressive
and much in favor of public improve.
ments. We are now building Court
House at a cost of half million, and we
have just built City Hall at half that
cost. The city has fine schools, stately
churches, and all the evidences OF pro.
gress, and all the exponents of public
spirit. The taxpayers are in favor Of
extending the sewer system, and of max.
ing all other necessary public improve
ments, if these things are done under a
system of proper economy, SO that they
shall get what they are paying for.

THE Committee of United States
Senators, who have visited this Coast to
secure information on the subject of irri-
CATION, will arrive in this city Sunday
morning. They will be received by
Committee of the Chamber of Com
merce. and during their stay here will
be aided in every way possible to post
themselves upon the subject they have
in hand. The Senators will have ocular
demonstration in this section of the value
of irrigation. They will be shown wide
stretches of country that are now teem-
ing with the richest productions
OF the soil that were barren
wastes before water had been conveyed
to them. Indeed, if it were not for irri-
CATION but few spots in Southern Califor.
mia could be depended upon for crops of
any kind. The visiting Senators will
thus have an object lesson of great valre
to them in considering the question of
reclaiming arid lands. Data will be
placed before them to show that the en-
tire Moiave desert can be made arabic,
and turned from wilderness into q
garden spot if the Government
will carry out its design to
lay out storage reservoirs in the mountains
near it. The rainfall in the winter, if
properly stored. is sufficient to irrigate all
the lands that can be reached. 1t is only
a question of cost. There are few places
in the United States where the Govern
ment can practically carry out its designs
with 80 much success as in irrigating the
Mojave desert. The land to be- watered
is all Government land, and the difference
between $1.25 and $3.50 an acre would
pay for all the cost Of complete
storage system. We know that it is
not the aim OF the Government to
build servoirs-only to survey the best
sites for them, and to map out the dis
tricts they can be made to supply with
water. But in the case of the Mojave
desert, the land is all alike, and an ex
of a practical system Of irri-
CATION could there be carried out with
the utmost propriety at the cost of the
1t would be amply repaid
This and other suggestions will be thor
oughly elaborated before the Senatorial
Committee.

THE NATIONS BREAD.
Twenty-Five Million Dollars hid
Annually for baking POxNds.

WASHINGTON, August 30.-The bsing
powder investigation which has ,een
conducted under the direction ol the
chemists of the Department of Agicul-
ture, has been completed and the rsults
have been compiled in bulletin orm.
The analysis of a large number OF sam.
pies of various baking powders ant the
conclusions derived therefrom, th re-
port says, are not such as to create any
general alarm lest the American pople
should suffer injury to health from the
use of baking powders. At the same
time they show conclusively the error
of the popular impression prev,iling
hitherto that all chemicals used
in the production OF hiking
powders are expelled during the ppcess
of baking. AS to the character of the res
idue left in the bread and its effect 1pon
the health, the bulletin properly assigns
the decision OF that important point to
the physicians, holding that the ,trict
line of the duty of the chemist ends with
revealing the constituents. The alaly-
sis of twelve powders are given, Their Sc
lection being based upon the proportion
of available carbonic acid which, in con-
junction with the minimum of alkaline
residue, is the great test of excellence in
baking powders. Although the investi-
cations show that even with the best OF
tartrate powders the residue remaining
in one loaf of bread prepared with
it was Of the same character as a
seidlitz powder, and in quantity exceed.
ing that OF an ordinary seidlitz powder by
over fifty per cent, etill in this, as in
most cases, the character Of the residue

regarded as generally hurtful, The re-
port says an exception ought to be made
in regard to the class of powders contain
ing alum, to which there is more serious
objection. The report gives some utter
esting facts as to the baking powder
industry, and says the American people
pay at least $25, 900, 900 year for baking
powder, and that the cost Of it to the
manufacturers is less than third OF thai
amount.
