1t appears that In the matter Of
spreading typhoid, the oyster has been
u~njustly m~aiigned. Some experiments
carried out under the direction of the
British Royal society show that sea
water is inimical to the growth OF the
typhoid bacilli. Bacilli were placed In
oysters, and. although their presence
was demonstrated in M case on the
twenty-irst day following. there stIll
appeared to be no initial or subsequent
MULTIPLICATION OF the germs. AS to
green oysters. the investigators say
that some are wholesome and some are
not. The g~reenness in the former Ease
Is due TO the presence of a harmless
vegetable pigment. with which, also.
there may be associated a small guam
tity of an iron salt, but this has no
connection with the coloring matter.
In the other kind OF green oysters the
color is due to a deleterious salt OF
copper. The epicure Is therefore rec
commended not to eat green oysters un-
less he knows where they came from.

BECOMING SERIOUS.
rrafc nj Erie Canal is Threatened
With Stoppage.

Buffalo. n. Y, May THE members
of the state board Of arbitration and
mediation worked hard yesterday In
| an effort to settle the existing troubles
| on the docks. Conferences have been
| hold with the strike leaders, meetings
have been addressed and speeches
listened to. and at midnight a confer
ence was going ON ak the lroquois hotel
nj which representatives Of all inter
| eSts involved were present and a most
| determined effort made 10 bring about
a settlement Of the difficulty. While
there Is every Indication that the con-
tractors union is willing to grant con-
cpssions to the strikers In the way or
| advanced wages and the removal or
the saloon bosses, the strikers show a
most unyielding spirit.
A meeting was held yesterday after
! noon at which were present at least
1900 scoopers. When a member of
the state board advanced 10 the front
of the stage and addressed the men,
asking them If they would return TO
work if all of their demands save one
that of the withdrawal Of the contract
from Mr.. COnnors-were conceded,
there was a great shout of mo. never!
We will not go TO work again under
any contractor"
In the face of this spirit the members
of the state board feel
Far From Encouraged
and should no agreement he reached
at this meeting the board will cease it's
endeavors in that line and order a pub
lie investigation of the whole matter.
The strike of all union men employed
on the docks, which was prophesied
for moo yesterday, did not occur.
President Mcmahon, of the new scoop
ers' union, said that at the request OF
the state board il was deferred TWEEN
ty-four hours. The situation in the
harbor is. IL anything, worse than
Thursday night. So far this season
eighty grain-laden boats have arrived
in port. OF this number but twenty
five have been unloaded. leaving fifty
five still to be handled. with the pros
pect Of further arrivals during the
night. The freight boats are also be-
ginning TO come in and there are sew
eral now at the docks waiting for men
To handle their cargoes.
The contractors claim 10 be working
twelve elevators, but, while this is
probably true, the number of men
placed on each boat is so small that
but little progress is being made.
Traffic on the Erie canal Is threat
ened with almost complete stoppage
as a result Of the strike. Boats are ar
irving with freight TO be unloaded and
Others are waiting here for loads both
OF grain and heavy freight, but men
cannot be had to do the work.
