! NEITHER COMEDIES ANYTHING
The strikers and Contractors Hold a
EruiIless Conference.

There was no change yesterday in the
situation with regard to the electrical
workers strike. 1t was expected that a
settlement of the differences would be
reached last night, but in this the strikers
and the contractors were alike disappoint-
ed.
During the day the members of the un-
ion held two meetings at their headquar-
tiers, 1904 Pennsylvania Avenue. Reports
were received from the different commit
tees delegated by the union to watch the
progress of the work by the contractors,
ana also to note the arrival of electrical
workers from other cities. The reports,
especially in reference to the coming of
both union and non-union men from other
cities, were to the effect that very few had
been seen. OF the union men who came,
all. when they learned the condition of
affairs, refused 10 work for the local con-
tractors, while the non-union men were
either persuaded to join the local union
or TO return whence they came.
A conference. composed of representa-
tiyes from the Central Labor Union. Elec-
tTical Workers Union, and many of the
large contractors for electrical work was
held last night at the office of the Ma
tional Electrical Supply Company, in New
York Avenue. The labor representatives
were Milford Spohn, w. ]. Feeny, E. A.
Malone. John G. Wolf. N. C. Sprague, and
Z. Wolf. The contractors who participat-
cd in the conference were J. r. Galloway,
John Rau, Hill & Miller, C. Schneider's
Sons. Mr.. Leonard, for J. H Keely, Tai
mage & Wilson. and others. The con-
sultation began at o'clock and continued
fer three hours. Nothing was accomplish
ed. Proposition after proposition, 1t is
said. was submitted by each side, but all
were rejected as promptly as announced.
Neither side. it is said. would grant any
concessions nor deviate. except in the mat
ter OF details, from the demands originally
made by both the workmen and the con-
tractors.

ELECTRICITY IN GERMANY.

In Germany the theft of electricity is evidently not considered a crime, fol in recent appeal which reached the supreme court. the court held that those properties are wanting in elec- trlcity which would be necessary tC constitute it a movable object in the sense of the law, and electricity must be reckoned as one of the energies of nature, like light, sound, and heat. The laws relating to larceny provide only against the theft of movable bod ies, and therefore would be considered inapplicable in this case. Three me chanics secretly attached wires to the circuit in the house where they lodged, and thus had their room lighted with out expense. They were sentenced, and the case was brought to the su- preme court, with the result which we have noted.-Scientific American.

IN SOUTHERN YUN-NAN.

A Kew bulletin just issued contains extracts from letters to the authorities
 at Kew from Eze-mao, in Southern Yun-nan, by Dr. Henry, the well
 known botanist, who is now stationed
 in that place in the Chinese customs
 service. He thinks the northeast of | Yun-nan and Kwei-chau provinces
 will turn out astonishingly rich in new
 plants, and it is there rather than in l the south that new generic types will
 be found. Tn fact until the great re- | zion northeast, as it were, of the Him.
 alayas is explored, people will have no
 idea of the richness of the world in
 beautiful plants. l look upon this re-
 zion as the central point from which
 the temperate flora has originated or has been broken up into numberless
 species"
 | The letters contain some interesting
 information on that curious race the Loos. Dr. Henry says he is spending
 much time in studying the Lolo Ian guage, and has completed a dictionary | of it as well as translated number of l booklets. He has found some odd
 things in their writings Tabu is in teresting in the way it occurs. Each surname, as rule, signifies a tree or animal name and the bearer of the surname cannot touch in any way the tree or animal of the same name. These are not, however, considered sa- cred of an object of worship. Diseases are explained as visitations of evil spirits, or the result of meeting with unlucky omens or some exceptional or uncanny occurrence. Thus, a COW get ting on the roof of house is sure to bring trouble in the shape of illness, and this must be averted by reading the appropriate ritual The Lolos have a rigid code of morals, but pr. Henry thinks they are devoid of the idea of sin. In other words, they have the conception of wrongs done by one per son to another, of infractions of tribal rules, and the like, but no trace of the notion of sin in the individual hurting himself. Nor does he find among them any idea of sin as an offense against the gods or spirits They are good and bad spirits, but all seem really obnox- ious, causing disease and calamity: they are worshipped by sacrifice and ritual or exorcism.
 The Buddhist doctrine of transmit grafton has affected the Loles. but if can be seen that it is late introduce ton, and has no bearing on their lives. | They have no idols and their only priests are exorcists, who are such be- cause they can read the appropriate | rituals. They have legends of a de- | luge, of Cyclopean men with one eye, etc. pr. Henry hopes that he may be | sent to Teng Yuch (Momein) when the | custom house is opened there, as high l mountains are in the vicinity "and | there would be a chance of rivalling Delavay's collections from the noun | tains near Ta-li" His own Yun-nan l collection now reaches 3,700 specimens, of which 2,5OO were made while he was at Meng-tsze and the remainder at Sze- -mao,-London Times.

4 Priest Married.

san Francisco, July 2S.-Rev. Father
Gaithorne Gloria, the brilliant young
pastor OF St. Joseph's Portuguese Cath
Ollie Church, Oakland, has resigned his
pulpit and renounced his priestly VOWS
and last night be was publicly married
10 Annie Collins, who for niue years as
his contract wife has been his faithful
companion. The young priest became
attached to Miss Collins, who was q
member of his church, when she was a
child. and as she grew 10 beautiful wo-
manhood his feeling became an ardent
passion which caused him to forget his
VOWS to the church. The intimacy be-
Gun then has continued TO the present
and the delay OF the public marriage
was due TO the fact that the young
priest hesitated to undertake to make
living in the world after years OF
shelter in the church. The couple have
one child handsome boy OF four.
