A Curious Phenomenon.

A London journal describes a curious
phenomenon observed not long ago at
Folkstone. \ ship laden with oil was sunk
in collision, and the water was covered
with oil. This produced strange effect
on the wild fowl, which are plentiful
there. Wild ducks, teal and other birds
were easily caught, as they seemed unable

A BIG STRIKE.
Miners Preparing to Strike for the Eight
Hour Rule-Fourteen Hundred Men
Will be in the Strike.

PITTsBURG. Pa, April 1.-THE pro-
posed miners strike for the adoption OF the
eight-hour a day proposition, to be ordered
three weeks hence, is the chief topic OF
conversation in industrial circles. The
threatened strike will more directly affect
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and Pittsburg will
feel its depression to a considerable extent
Over sixty thousand men are employed in
these two districts.
The miners determination TO carry their
demands into the competitive districts has
put operators to thinking. The strike will
be 4 general one, including the coke region,
where trouble is even now being brought
on by the eight-hour basis. Fourteen
thousand more men will be affected. There
are not that many men actively engaged in
the mining Of coal, but that number will
take part in the demand. Non-union end
day laborers are rs anxious as any others
for the movement to be made and will
necessarily increase the number requiring
assistance during the struggle.

ccntsins the following Wash ngton spe-
cial:
Ex CONGRESSMAN Gest of Rock Island.
Is here TO consult with the var depart
ment officials concerning the Hennepin
canal route Capt. Wheeler's report rec
ommending what is known az the South
Shore route was Endorsed by Capt. Mar
shall and in the regular course of routine
department business approved By the
acting secretary of war. W leeler Tec>
ommends following the south shore line
of Rock river from point about a mile
and half above Milan TO the mouth of
tie river, q distance of some hing more
than four miles. Under this plan the
dam would be bull. at the head of Cars
Island According to Capt. Wheeler, to
build along this liue would be cheaper by
about $40, 600 than to follow the nerth
side of the river2
Judge Gest thinks that the Wheeler re-
port does not take into account the local
geography of the region which fsvors the
north route and he is not sure that it
would be any dearer. He states that the
people at Milan contend that IL the dam
be built st the head of Cars island it
will destroy their water power and prob.
ably cause litigation for the government
in determining what their vested rights
are. His idea is to build the cam at Mi
Ian and give the manufacturers there
the benefit of it without the eovernmen n,
cediDg any of It's control These snd
other considerations were presented 10
Gen. Casey. chief of the elgin eer corps,
this mo- ming, and Judge Ges; viii have
another interview with the var d.par;-

While the Wheeler report hiss been SIP
/ proved, there is 10 disposition 10 refuse
hearing on it to those who are entitled %
1 be heard and who did not koow that thu
report had yet gone to the secretary. II
| coed reasons were given il might yet b,
modified. Judge Gest saw Gen. Hender-
son, chairman of the river and hsrbol
committee, tonight with view to having
the chairmsn go to the war department
with him. Gen. Henderson, however.
had arranged 10 leave for Illinois in the
morning and could not postpone his jour
