He Declares the Strike on the Central Is
NEW YORK, Aug 29.-Third Vice President
Webb of the Central returned this morning
from Buffalo. He was early at his Office and
spent an hour reading clippings from the morn
ing papers relative to the strike. II a smiling
face and general agreeable manner
we're any indication, Mr.. Webb was pleased.
well, I'm here" he said heartily, land
you rest assured if 1 were appre-
hensive of further trouble l would not
be here. As far the Central is con-
cerned the strike is thing Of the past. We
have all the men We want By that, too,
mean experienced workmen. We have all we
need along the line and in those localities where
there is even the slightest possibility Of dis
order we have hundreds of men in reserve.
There is no room for a strike. The only
thing we have feared at all is that the firemen
would go out There is no just cause for such
an action on their part; they have no grievances;
they are well paid and do not work too long
hours, but at such time as this the men do not
wait for n cause"
Speaking Of the Buffalo situation. Mr. Webb
said: The strike. in my opinion, is
broken 1t cannot extend eastward
There is q slight chance of Grand Master
even that is slim chance. The men
acted rashly and hastily, prejudicing the rail-
road companies at the start. The men have
lost, and the sooner they recognize that fact the
better it will be for them. Buffalo is well
guarded at every point. freight is moving
everywhere, and az far as 1 can see there is no
room for strikes or strikera'
Superintendent Voorhees, spoke in the same
strain. In the Central yards every
thing was quiet. Trainmen have grown
reticent and refuse to speak Of the
troubles. but their silence speaks loudly
In confederation in favor Of the opinion
that the strike is practically at an end far as
New York city is concerned. The situation in
the freight yards along the North river front
remains quiet and unchanged. J. D. LAYING Of
the Lake Shore road raid this morning that no
trouble was feared with the men here now.

NO SYMPATHY STRIKE,
An Oncial Of the Firemen's Brotherl
Explains the Situation.

An Oncial of the Firemen's Brotherhood
Explains the Situation.
BUFFALO, Aug pa representative inter-
viewed Mr.. Debs, secretary Of the grand lodge
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen,
this morning in reference to the situa-
ton at Buffalo. Mr.. Debs said: "In
the first place it should be understood
that neither Grand Master Sargent nor any
other grand officer nor all Of them combined
can order q strike under any conceiv-
able circumstances. and this IL practically
true Of grand officers Of all other organ
izations of railway employees. How can .
strike be ordered? In just one way can . strike
be legally authorized, and that is BY two
thirds members Of the whole system upon which
the strike is to be inaugursted, and then only
by consent Of the full protective board. COM
posed of one representative Of each lodge
on the system and the grand master. This ID
the only way a strike can be declared of. The
grand master has no more authority TO declare o
strike than you have 10 declare war against
Canada"
"How about the sympathy strike that il talked
Of so much?'
THAT is simply out Of the question under
our present laws. and think I should know
what the laws are. for with the excep-
importance / drafted them all. Our
laws state that only grievance of a member
of own order can be considered, and il
a strike is participated in under any other
circumstances the members SO offending
shall be expelled. l am in full and
hearty sympathy with the switchmen, their
cause is just and they ought to win,
but In my opinion il will be the same old story
IL Is not difficult to see what the outcome will
be. Stripped of all extraneous matter, there
Is but simple proposition involved, and
that Is corporation against organized labor
and with the organizations going 1t sim
gle-handed and alone, each having to
consult Its own laws and rumble along ~ best
its cumbersome old machinery will permit it, it
does not require the prophetic vision Of seer
to foretell the result The justice to labor will
never come in my judgment until labor feder-
ates and Yields its united power for the good of
all"

A QUEER CAVE.

One Of the Natural Wonders of the Table
Mountain, California.
From the San Francisco Bulletin
On the north side of table mountain and near
its top is an opening in the lava that has since
its early days been known as 1.-THE den." 1t was
80 named from the fact that for years it was
the lair Of a band Of ferocious California lions
that when the country was largely devoted to
sheep raising, made nightly depredations upon
the hocks and caused the owners much annoy
ance and loss. When pursued the animals
would seek refuge in this den, and no hunter
would dare to enter it. The ground about the
entrance was covered with the bones and rem
nants Of sheep and other animals With the
increase Of population the lions have gradually
disappeared, although as late as last spring
two of the animals we're seen to enter the
cave.
The Oroville Mercury says: mo known man
has ever penetrated this cave to its fullest
depth. The mouth is about four or five feet
high and three feet wide, and the opening de-
sends with sharp decline for 400 feet. Fur
Their than this has never been explored. Now,
however, party of young men have made ar
rangements to explore it, and, il possible, pene-
trate to its bottom. That it is Of great depth is
certain, for one can stand at the opening and
heave great stones down the declivity and the
sound will gradually die away in the distance.
The Young men have secured several hundred
feet Of ropes, torches and ladders and will thor
oughly explore the cavern"
What adds q peculiar interest to the expe-
dition and gives zest TO the explorers is the
well known fact that in the heyday Of his career
., q bandit. Joaquin Murietta and his band Of
faithful followers made the recesses of Table
Mountain the base Of their operations in this
section. From there they would swoop down
on the miners and then, laden with gold dust,
tn tx
the officers could not locate them. It has been
supposed by many that this cave was where the
famous outlaw secreted himself. II may Be,
too, that deep down in the bowels Of the earth
Joaquin hid the greater portion Of his ill-gotten
bat nevertheless just ~ potent wealth.

THE EASTERN QUESTION AGAIN.

The Indian Government Asked to Prevent
Russian Aggressions Upon Afgh han Territory.
SIMLA, Aug. 23.-Fearing that they will seize
upon the part Of the Pamir region that belongs
to Afghanistan the ameer has asked the govern
ment Of India to intervene to prevent Russian
aggression in the Pamir country. 1t is thought
that Russia's object is to first assert her right
to Shingnn by occupying it and driving out
Afghans who have taken possession of the place
and to turn the Chinese position in Kashgar.
The NocOsti Of st. Petersburg declared that
Russia could not permit the occupation of
Afghanistan by Great Britain. The paper added
that If Afghanistan was merely buffer for
Great Britain it behooves Russia to see that in
ternal affairs in Afghanistan do not threaten to
interfere with the economic development of the
trans Caspian provinces.
