A Knights Explanation of the Strike.

ALBANY, Aug. 9.-In conversation to-
night with striker, he said: "The COM
pany for the past three weeks has been
laying off some of its oldest employees, and
most loyal members of the Knights of
Labor. When asked the reason for dis
missing them they were told they could not
do their work properly. One of
the men has been a machinist in
the car shops for twenty years,
another has been foreman for fourteen
years and an engineer for six. The men
said it was an effort ON the part of the com
pany to break up their organization. This
view was strengthened when it was
learned that the contract emissary was in
Utica. Saturday last a convention of
District Assembly No. 246 was held,
and he copied from the register
of the hotel where they were stopping the
names of every delegate who was a Central
employee. All these men, one by one, dur
ing the past week have been dropped by
the company. 1t was then decided that
it was time for them to assert their rights"
Large shipments of cattle from the west,
which were billed over the Central road
and which have been lying in Buffalo since
last night, have been ordered reshipped
over other roads.

tonight is increasing in interest. The en-

come to terms, they say the en-
ployees will -snot only go out on
the West Shore, but on the whole Wander
bilt system. The train dispatchers, all but

The New Peace Alliance.

Especial to THE HERAI4D-Examiner Dispatch.1
LONDON, Aug. 9.-[Duniap cablel-Po-
liticaI clubs are greatly exercised by re-
ports of the Emperor of Germany's nego-

majesty brought with him the ratification
of an offensive and defensive alliance with
Sweden and Belgium and succeeded in per-
suading Lord Salisbury to consent condi-

the triple alliance. Lord Salisbury, how
ever, stipulated for the right to commune
cate the fact to the French government.
Lord Salisbury's consent was obtained
ONLY through the influence of the Queen,

BaIfour Criticises tilodstone.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Balfour, in an address
at Manchester tonight, declared that Glad
stones insinuation that the govern
ment had sacrificed the rights of the Prote-
slant residents of Malta in order to secure
the favor of the Catholic minority, was
wholly untrue and a most barefaced
attack from man who sent
Errington to Rome in 1881 TO enter
into direct relations with the Pope.
1t was, said Balfour, one of the many
instances of Gladstone's perversity in at
lacking the government through his own
reputation. 'sWhy," asked the speaker,
was Gladstone determined to repudiate
every act of the first fifty years of his life
and score the government when they fol-
lowed his precedent Of betraying the
interests of the cOuntry!"

Serious situation Among the ChIckasaws.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Tbe secretary of
the interior received telegram from Mr..
Bennett, Indian agent at Muscago, Indian
territory, saying the Chickasaw situation
is serious and there is great danger of an
outbreak on the 18th inst, the day of the
election, on. account of the disfranchise-
ment of the squaw men. In his communi-
cation to the President the secretary ex-
presses the opinion that there is no great
probability of an outbreak such as to re-
quire the interference of troops, yet as a
preeaution he recommends that the secre
tary of war be directed to have troops at
Fort Gibson in readiness to respond to any
order necessary to suppress riot. In his
reply to Benefits telegram he says no
transfer of troops viii be made unless riots
of q dangerous character actually break
out. 1.-The government" he says, ''does
not intend to display force of troops until
the last emergency"

THE BONELLI PROCESS
OF Obtaining Freedom for the Third Finger
in Pianoforte Playing.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, Aug. &c. S. Boneli, the
San Francisco music teacher, has been ex-
hibiting his process of obtaining freedom
for the third, or ring finger, by severing
the accessory tendon. With Mr.. Bonelli was
Carrie Bowes, twelve years of age, the
first child on whom he has performed the
operation. Carrie played Mills ''Taran-
tella,'' a few airs with variations, and runs
up and down the scale. While her execu
ton was clear, she played with so much
rapidity in time that the teachers were I'M
able to determine clearly whether there
was much increase of force in the third
finger over the natural results of training
the third finger by the old methods. Mr..
Bonelli said that he did not main
tain that there was an increase
of force after the operation;
there was an increased freedom, he said,
and no loss of force. Miss Bowes was sub
jected to several experiments to test the
strength of her third finger. She first put
| one hand on a machine containing springs
of brass underneath, the springs being so
arranged that one after another. in turn,
could be attached to the fingers With her
| third finger hampered by a spring, Carrie
| held itup an inch for half minute. Then
| 10 snow ner gripping power, sue SqueeAeu
a s'banomometer,n as Mr.. Bonelli termed it,
and outdid the efforts of woman who
tried it. Other tests showed that Carrie
had lost no power in her hand. Finally,
Mr.. Bonelli, in the presence of commit
tee of teachers, performed the operation
on the stage o. cutting the accessory Hga-
ments of both hands. 1t was first
sprayed with cocaine, so that
the operation was without pain.
Then with slender, needlelike instrument
with sharp cutting edge, Mr.. Bonelli
holding the back of hand upward, pune
tured the skin on the left of the third finger
back of the knuckle and gave sharp cut
downward. The tendon could be heard to
snap as the knife severed it. Then the ten
don on the other side was severed. The boy
was smiling during operation. Scarcely
any blood flowed and the two woun Is
looked like pen pricks. Before operation
was performed Mr.. Boneli got the boy to
spread out his hand as far as possible on q
page in big album, while he marked
around the fingers with lead pencil TO get
the outline of the hand. After the opera
ton this performance was repeated and il
was found that the boy could stretch with
his thumb and little finger considerably
more than an inch further than before.

Aquatic Cows.

1t is familiar fact that COWS go into
the water in hot days for GOODNESS and
to escape the annoyance of flies. They
will also wade into deep water to feed
upon the grasses growing in boys; but
it is not so common to find them in tho
habit of swimming as they are reported
to have done at Fort William, on the
Kaministiquia River, north of Lake
Superior. Perhaps the present geners'
ton of COWS do not, for the book from
which we quote was published forty
years ago.
As the pasturage on the other side Of
the river is much better than about tle
fort, the COWS swim across regular!
every morning and back in the evening,
distance of more than three hundred
yards. I was much surprised, the
morning after our arrival, when 'le
cattle were let out of the yard, to see
COW walk down and deliberately take 70
the water of her own accord, the whole :.t
drove following her, swimming WIN
only their noses, horns and tails SHOW
ing above water.
The development of habit so unu'
sual I could account for only by sup
posing it to be an ancient custom, Is,
tablished with difficulty at first, on 1na 10
