Among Hfgh-Salaried officials OF the bu.

OF the Reduction In the Appropriation
for that Branch of the Public Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-There will be
a very considerable shaking up among
highly salaried officials of the bureau OF
geological survey tomorrow, when the
reductions imposed by the sundry civil
bill will be carried into effect Nearly
forty mem bers of the present force VIII
be asked to resign, two-thirds of them
being scientists employed on special
work The list includes three $4,000
geologists, one $4,000 geologist, two
$4,000 geologists, one $4,000 geologlst,
one 50, 600 chemist. two 81, geogra-
pliers, one 81, 900 topographer and one
s3, 900 officer, classed as general assist
ant" These are dropped all together.
The salary of the paleontologist is
cut down from $4,000 to $4,000. and
twenty-six other employees will also
have to submit to a reduction of pay.
Mai. Powell, chief director of the bu-
reau, says that six of the geologists
thus summarily disposed of have volun-
teered to stay and complete the work
they are engaged upon without further
compensation, and seventeen others
have already secured professorships in
various colleges and other educational
institutions. He adds that the reduc-
tion of force will compel him to drop
some branches of the work upon which
he is engaged, but he believes he will be

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 9.-Secre tary
Lovejoy of the Carnegie company was
asked by United Press reporter what
was the plan of the company toward
started in on this conquest of riot by
law, and it will be carried to finish.
There will be anywhere between so
to $50 more informations on murder
and aggravated riot charges made
against Homestead strikers before
we are through with them. We are pro-
ceeding carefully and get only evidence
to certainty before the charge is
made. We mean to make no mistake,
and the best detective skill in the coun-
try has been engaged. We have officers
of long experience at work at Home
stead, and the informations | make
are on evidence gotten by these
men, who will be produced
in court and give sworn testimony.
There would have been more infor-
nations before this but for the fact
that many strikers engaged in the riot
have run away. Meantime, evidence
against them is being gathered, and
when they return informations will be
made against them and they will be ar
rested. If they do not come back they
will be followed up until they are ar
rested and brought back for trial.

CHOLERA AND RIOTS

In Astrabad, Persia. the Capital of the
Province of that Name-Liquor shops
Gutted and Armenian Traders stoned,
TEHERAN, Aug. 9.-Cholera is raging
at Astrabad, the capital of the Persian
province of that name, and known, on
account of its pestilential atmosphere,
as the city of the plague. Only the
lower classes of the population remain
in Astrabad during the hot weather,
and these broke out in riot on account
of the terror and anger caused by the
spread of the disease. The mob at
tackled the shops in which liquor was
kept for sale, for they believed the IL
quor had something to do with the
cholera. They broke into the shops.
and while some of them drank the IL
quor and became more riotous, others
poured the Intoxicating fluid into the
streets. The mob also stoned Arme-
nian traders, some of whom were Rus
sian subjects.
Astrabad is near the Caspian sea, and
also not far from the frontier of Rus
sian Turkestan. The Russians hurried
guard of Cossacks into Astrabad to

Reported to be on the Poiut OF Rcsisning
Owing to Differences of Opinion with
the Kaiser as to the Bismarck Crisis.
BERLIN, Aug. 9.-Klein's Journal
gives currency to a report, as yet un-
thority, to the effect that Chancellor
Caprivi is about to resign, owing to
differences of opinion with the kaiser
as to the Bismarck crisis, and that
Prince Halzefeldt- -Wildenburg, now the
German ambassador to Great Britain,
will be his successor. Although the
statement is unconfrmed, it is known
that there has been radical difference
between the kaiser and Caprivi as to
dealing with Bismarck's recent utter
ances, Caprivi urging that Bismarck
should be prosecuted, and the kaiser
resolving to take no notice of the mat
ter.
Caprivi has not been entirely salts
fled since the kaiser's change of front
on the educational bill which led to
Caprivis resignation of the Office of
Prussian premier while he retained the
post of imperial chancellor. 1t is said
that the influence of Count Won Fulen-
berg, who succeeded Caprivi as premier,
has been growing, and that Won Fulen-
berg had deal to DO with urging the
kaiser to adopt policy of patience and
tolerance towark Bismarck
All these things have tended to make
Caprivi uncomfortab and whether he
has or has not resigned as chancellor
it is generally believed that he will not
hold the post much longer "a

her passport to establish her identity,
