ELECTRICAL WORKERS STRIKE.
Situation Unchanged and Both sides
Seem Satisfied.

There is no change today in the situation
as TO the differences between Electrical
Union No. % and the contractors Mem
bers of the union express qualification at
the loyalty displayed by members of the
organization in other portions of the coun-
try, who have come here on kilograms Of
fering them work, but ignorant that a
strike was ON. 1t is stated that these men
as a rule, report at once to the union
where they are informed of the conditions
here, and as a result the new arrivals do
not go TO work.
The contractors express themselves as
equally well satisfied with the outlook, and
they are attending to business, with some
delays, OF course Their customers how
ever, are not pushing them and are very
open In their expression of sympathy 1t
was understood this afternoon that there
would be another proposition submitted to
the contractors by the strikers, in which
the latter would agree to a graded scale OF
wages and make other concessions while
asking for one two similar agreements
IRON the contractors 1t is therefore be-
leyed that the strike will be shortly set
tied

dered all necessary and practicable aid to
the said regents in the acquisition of collec-
tons for the Geological Park
This park of which some idea may be
formed by the accompanying map and il
lustratons, has been established in an un-
usually beautiful site near the city of
Washington. 1t is intended to form here
q representative national collection which,
while especially rich in our native Amer
lean animals shall also contain specimens
from all parts of the world, and shall be
to America what the geological gardens at
London Paris and Berlin are to their re-
spective countries.
For several years Congress made no ap-
preparation for the purchase of animals,
and the park is still largely dependent upon
gifts to Increase the collection, which is far
from adequate as an exhibit in a national
institution.
IF officers stationed abroad, who may be
Interested in animal life would bear in
mind the necessities of the park, many adj
ditions could be made to the collection. AL
most any foreign animals would be gladly
received.
Expenses of boxing and Of land trans
portations. where necessary, will always be
paid by the Geological Park.
Purchase of animals can be made only
in exceptional cases, but If the opportunity
for any especially desirable acquisition
arises the secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution would be pleased to be advised by
letter, or in urgent cases by telegraph. The
secretary would also be glad to correspond
Win oIllcerS VINO expect to visit regions
where interesting animals occur.
Public re eognition of gifts is made the
names of donors being placed upon the
labels attached to the cages or pens, and a
notice of the gifts, with the names of the
donors, is also made a part of the annual
report of the secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution.
"a list of the most important animals
that can be collected in different countries
is appended hereto, and concise directions
for boxing. shipping and feeding are given.

ONLY GOODNESS IN SIGHT.

Gratifying Intelligence Impaired by
Weather bureau Experts.
No repetition of yesterdays hot wave Is
expected by the weather bureau for a few
days at least. Nothing but cool weather Is
in sight now, and the moderated tempera-
lures may be looked for tomorrow
An area of high barometer lies over the
west and is moving this way. Within the
high the temperatures range in the
lower sixties. and on the northern edge as
low as IS. AS the high area comes east the
weather will grow cooler.
Yesterday was a warm day in Washing
ton, and the temperature rose to 92 by
o'clock in the afternoon. The thunder
storm later afforded considerable relief
bringing a marked fail in temperature
There was a drop of 20 degrees within an
hour and the temperature remained about
&C during the night.
This morning at II 80 it was So, and it
was thought at the weather bureau that
probably it would not go above 80 today.

Deaths Investigated East Year.

interesting Statistics Submitted to
n
the Commissioners.
RECOMMENDATIONS
MADE

DR.. w. P. Carr, the District coroner, to-
day submitted to the Commissioners his
report for the fiscal year ended June so,
1890. 1t is as follows:
THE total number Of deaths investigated
by the coroner during the year was ISL,
an increase of 143 over last year. This
increase has been largely due to greater
care on the part of the health officer in
referring all certificates of death to the
coroner for investigation where there has
been the slightest chance that death was
due to criminal cause
1t is gratifying to note that the num-
Der of suicides is only %, as against 53
for the previous year; also that there were
B less homicides, 10 in ALL
The following table Will show the causes
of the deaths. properly classified.
