CLEVELAND STRIKE.
officers aud Employees Awaiting The
Morning..

Morning.
Cleveland, Ohio June l1.--Both officers
OF the big consolidated street railway COM
paries and the strikers are waiting ex-
pectantly for o'clock tomorrow morning,
for then there is likely to be serious
trouble. True to its promise Of last night,
the company made no attempt to move
cars today There was no activity about
the barns or terminals, and the big crowds
OF strikers and oilers that assembled saw
nothing 10 excite them.
a number of motormen, imported by the
company from other cities were taken to
the Lake View terminus OF the road today
and all that were not captured by the
strikers were housed there for the night
1t is the strikers determination net to go
TO work In the morning and their places,
the company say, will be filled as far as
possible by new men
There has been some talk Of a sympa-
thetic strike on the part of the employees
OF the Little Consolidated company. but
the leaders OF the strike say they don't
desire anything OF the kind On the other
hand, they declare that It would oaly in
lcre them 10 tie up other lines. for Il would
lose them the sympathy Of the people,
VINO have thus far put up with the iuuon-
Venience and annoyance good naturedly.
The police are preparing fer trouble in the
morning and a large force of deputy
sberi1s has been sworn In TO assist In pre-
serving order should the emergency arise.
President Little, Member Owen and Sec
rotary Bishop OF the State board OF arbI-
tration had long conference this evening
with President Bryan and the executive
be ard of the street railway mems union
looking to a settlement Of the trouble by
arbitration. The conference lasted until a
late hour.

At the bottom where the foot of a cliff is
exposed to the air through a crevasse or
deep crack in the glacial ice, there is Wig
orous fracturing of the rock by sharp
changes of temperature. The glacier car
ries Off the fragments and continually ex-
poses a fresh surface. Thus at its head
by this indirect action, the glacier works
backward, horizontally, into the noun
tain, making its amphitheater, or cirque
form pocket, In which its first SHOWS gather
continually, deeper and deeper, and its side
walls as nearly vertical as the undermined
rock will stand. Though IL will scour and
smooth its bed at the same time. by under
cutting, the glacier head literally burrows
backward against the rising grade and
may thus even cut its way through the
crest at a low level. Many glaciers head
ing against a mountain mass, radiating
outward in their flow, will channel il
through In all directions backward, ana
must eventually cut away its summit re-
gion. The mid stage of the process, how
ever, will be marked by topography of
towering forms.
BY illustrations in groups the transitional
features in this reduction process were
made clear, and the imposing character OF
their forms deliberately displayed.

COL. GARCIA HERE.
He Comes to Remove the Remains of
His Father and Sister.

Col. Carlos Garcia of the Cuban army. a
son Of the distinguished Gen. CaliXto
Garcia, who died in this city a short time
ago arrived in Washington last night and
is stopping at the Raleigh. Colonel Garcia
comes to Washington from Thomasville,
Ga, where he went upon arrival in this
country to attend his mother and sisters,
who were ill, one Of the sisters having died
subsequently. Colonel Garcia has been in
consultation with Senior Quesada, who is
still suffering from an attack of the grip
and is confined to his apartments. While
Colonel Garcia is interested in the work OF
the Cuban commission, he will take no ac-
tive part in their deliberations or move
ments, his principal object of visiting the
capital city being to make arrangements for
the transfer of the remains of his father
and sister from this country to their home
place near Hoiguin, Cuba. 1t is understood
that the dispatch boat Dolphin of the navy
will be rendered for the removal of the re-
though nothing definite has been done in
the matter yet.
The members of the Cuban commission
with the exception of Col. Jose Gomez
have returned TO the city after a holiday
adjournment, and will take up their uncom-
pleted work. Colonel Gomez has been to
Cuba and will not reach the city until
some time this evening. The remaining
members of the commission spent the holi-
days in New York. where they had many
conferences with high officials of the junta
and the leading Cuban residents of the
metropolis. s

GLACIERS AND THEIR WORK.
Theme of an Address by Mr.. willard
ID. johnson.


An address on Glaciers and their work
in high mountains was delivered las'
evening at the First Congregational Church
before the members of the National Geo
graphic Society and invited friends by Mr..
Willard D. Johnson, photographer, United
States geological survey.
The address opened with the statement
that nearly all of the imposing features
of most high mountains are of unknown
origin The amphitheaters with arc-form
walls; the canons of Yosemite type with
fat meadow bottoms between nearly YER
teal cliffs; the peaks of Matterhorn type;
the aretes, aiguilles and coils of which Al
pine climbers have so much to say, are all
anomalous forms-unintelligible according
to the known laws of mountain sculpturing
and are puzzles to photographers.
II was pointed out, however, that this
does not hold true for all high mountains.
All of the features of some great ranges
are thoroughly Ineligible. The difference
lies in glaciation. The puzziing features
are only to be found in mountains which
have been glaciated, or in which there are
glaciers now, and they are strictly con-
fined to the glaciated areas within such
mountains. Incontestably, these features,
which make up much of the grandest
scenery of the earth, are either directly or
indirectly the glaciers work.
The difficulty is that it is inconceivable
that the glacier should make them, accord
ing to the recognized process by which 1T
works upon its bed. This process was de-
scribed as ''scour." Forms produced by
scour were pictured. But scour does not
produce cliffs. Its tendency is strongly in
the other direction.
BY many illustrations. drawn from the
great ranges of the Scandinavian PENN
sula, the Alps, the Caucasus. the Rocky
mountains, and the Sierra Nevada, to-
gether with maps and diagrams, 1t was
shown that the glacier at the same time
works much more vigorously by yet an
other process-that of sapping. SappinG
is an indirect effect of glacial occupat ton.
