become somewhat anxious as TO the out
look for the coming Winter. A number OF
cattlemsn have commenced to gather their
cattle into pasture, and owing to the short
hay crops harvested they will not be able
to carry a very large number through the
Winter. Prices are still good. and there 10

A SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
The Electrical Workers and Con-
tractors Hold Conferences

1t was stated last evening by those in
a position TO know that in ali probability
the differences between the members of
the Electrical Workers Union and their
employers will be adjusted tomorrow. The
two main questions in the controversy.
the matter of higher wages and shorter
hours, it is said, have been conceded by
the contractors. On the other hand, the
question as to the employment of appren-
tices. which is considered a matter of
great import from the standpoint of the
electrical workers, is a stumbling block
in the way of the final settlement of the
trouble.
The union men claim that the contract
ors shall not be allowed TO employ more
than one apprentice for every four or
smaller number of workmen. and that he
shall serve an apprenticeship of three
years
1t was stated last evening that an ar
rangement had been made for another con-
ference between the representatives of the
Central Labor Union and the electrical
workers and the contractors, which will
| be held tomorrow afternoon or evening.
The members of the electrical union, while
they express themselves as greatly pleased
with the prospects of an early settle
ment still maintain that they will not re-
cede from the stand they have taken in
reference TO any one of the demands based
upon principle.
During the day several non-union men
from other cities arrived in Washington
but were dissuaded from going to work by
the members of the union. Last night it
was reported that several electrical work
ers arrived in town and when the situation
was explained to them they decided not
| to ash. for employment until the differences
| between the local electrical workers and
| the contractors were settled.

The Damage to the Postoiiice Will
Probably Exceed $4,000.

rift inspected the damage yesterday and
stated that the work of repairing the dam

said the work would be begun at once and
that no delay would be occasioned in the

able that another meeting will be held. 1t
is expected that the committee will make
a report on the matter to Secretary Gage
some time next week.

those of the wings. The defect, it is
thought, arises from the want of proper
and sufficient food.
Mosenthal, in his work on The Food
of Ostriches," says that during the greater
portion of the year they can usually find
enough TO live upon in their enclosures,
and at other times only require little In
dian corn or beans and some additional
green food in the shape of lucerne, all of
which can be grown on the farm. In AL
geria. Captain Crepu, found that the birds
kept well on barley, fresh grass, cabbage,
and the leaves of the cactus or Barbary
leaves, chopped fine. He recommends
about three pounds of barley day for
each bird and green food according to cir
cumstances. In winter and during the
breeding season they should have more
liberal allowance. They are very fond Of
corn.
In California and Florida the food is
chiefly grass, grain, hay. vegetables weeds,
broken bones, gravel and oyster shells.

THE LAW NOT EFFECTIVE.
Congress to BE Asked for Stringent
Contagious Disease Legislation.

Contagious Disease Legislation.
DR.. Woodward, the District Health Off
Ger, stated TO reporter for The Times
yesterday that he would prepare the draft
of new diphtheria and scarlet fever law
to be presented to Congress for action this
winter. The old law was approved Decem-
Der 20, 1890, and is not regarded b. compe-
tent authorities as stringent enough. In
many instances it makes it unlawful to do
certain things, but fails to impose any
penalty. The consequence is that when
some cases are taken into the Police Court
for trial the offending parties are released
and this leads others to become bold
enough to openly defy the diphtheria and
scarlet fever law.
The case OF diphtheria which occurred
at 900 Ninth Street northwest early this
week resulting in the death of the child of
G. W. Lucas, Thursday night, as told in
The Times yesterday, was brought to DIR.
Woodward's attention yesterday. The
house is dwelling and store combined
with two doors. a placard was tackled on
the residence door TO show the public that
there was diphtheria within. No placard
was tackled on the store door. The public
went in and out of this door, ignorant OF
the fact. for the most part, that diphthe
| ria existed. Ii appears that while the law
requires every house to be placarded, the
former Attorney for the District recently
maintained that the courts would not en-
force the payment of any penalty in cases
where parties living in combination houses
or houses with two front doors refused to
! placard both doors. DIR. Woodward will
make this ore of the points of the new
bill. 1t is a very important one, fraught
with much interest to the public. He will
| also endeayor to have a paragraph passed
in connection with the proposed draft.
making It obligatory to maintain a strict
quarantine at houses where diphtheria or
scarlet fever exists. The quarantine would
not necessarily be as strict as that required
in smallpox cases, but would have to be
