TO BUY OSBORNE HOUSE.
William Waldorf Astor Wants to Pre- sent It To His Daughter

William Waldorf Astor Wants to Pre- sent It To His Daughter.
 New York, July 3O.-The possibility that Osborne House. on the Isle of Wight, where Queen Victoria died, may pass into the possession of an Ameri- can, is suggested in dispatch to the World, which says:
 ''King Edward wants to get rid of Osborne House because of it's inacces- sibility and because it costs $60,OO0 a year to keep it up.
 .sWilliam Waldorf Astor is said to have offered to pay any price the king might fix, desiring to present the fla nous royal residence to his daughter when she marries the Duke of Rox- burghe, but it was found that under Queen Victoria's will the king is only given life title to the palace.
 Rumor says Mir Astor now wishes to lease the property.
 Senator William A. Clark of Mon tana, is reported to have written to the king asking him how much he will take.

TUBERCULOSIS SUBJECT
Dr Charles Gresswell Has Just Issued
 Bulletin in Connection With It.


 Chicago, July BOA special to the Tribune from Denver says:
 Dr Charles Gresswell, chairman or the sanitary committee of the Nation al Live Stock association, has issued bulletin on the subject of human and bovine tuberculosis, which is of eS- peciaL interest in connection with the theory of Dr Koch as expressed at tue international tuberculosis congress ill London last week.
 Dr GreSSwell says in part:
 "The telegraphic report of Dr Koch's statement that he has discov- cred such important differences be tween bovine and human tuberculosis that, in his opinion, the diseases are not intercommunicable, as was com monly supposed, is one of the most inn portant to the catuIe industry and to the public, and the evidence for and against should be carefully weighed and final judgment suspended until, as Dr Koch himself so justly recom- mends, corroboration of his results have been obtained by other obsery- CTS.
 Without being an alarmist, I think it necessary to sound a note of warn- ing that conclusions so much hoped for should not too readily be accepted, and that as cattlemen, or dairymen, We certainly must not yet congratu- late ourselves that the necessity for restrictions and repressive measures against bovine tuberculosis is over nor that this disease in cattle has now no terrorS for the human being"

BOSS BARBERS' UNION.
Some of the Barbers are Opposed to
 Closing So Early


 Closing So Early.
 Preparations are being made to form boss barberS' union in this city, and inpursuance of this plan a meeting will be held on Thursday evening at F. J. Duvals, 230 South Main street It is said that number of the boss barbers are opposed to the new closing hours which the journeymen have adopted and which are expected to go into effect on August l. The old schedule was satisfactory to the boss barberS, but the new closing hours are far from being satisfactory. The old closing hours were as follows: Mon- day night, o'clock; all other nights 9 o'clock except Saturday night, when F o'clock is the hour The new clos ing hours are as follows: Monday, 6 o'clock; Tuesday, Thursday, Fri Saturday, 12 o'clock A boss barber, in speaking of the matter to- day, said he would not stand for the new hours. He would rather close up his shop before he would agree to them. He says he would be satisfied if his customers were, but that al- ready he had lost several of them. Those who work in the shop have no time to get shaved except at night, and all cannot be shaved in one or two hours each evening except two. He thought that 6o'clock on Monday night, 8 o'clock on Friday night, 9 o'clock on every other night except Saturday, when the shop would close at 12 o'clock, would be o. K. hours.

.DOCKMEN NOM ON STRIKE.
Ordered to Go Out by the City
 Front Federation.

The Delegates Were Unanimous In
 Asking The Men To Go Outline
 Strike Is The Result of The Lockout
 of The Teamsters.
 San Francisco, July 30.-The labor troubles in this city reached their cui- imitation late last night when the City Front Federation ordered general strike on the docks of San Francisco, Oakland, Mission Rock and Port Costa to 90 into effect this morning. The reso- lution to strike received the unanl- nous endorsement of every delegation to the federation. The meeting of the federation was a long one and there was much heated argument but when the resolution came to a vote every delegate present voted in favor or striking. The following unions were represented, comprising all the work CTS on the waterfront: Sailors union of the Pacific. four local unions of Long shoremen, Marine firemen, Brotherhood of Teamsters, Ship and Steamboat Joiners, Porters, Packers, Warehouse men, Ship Clerks, Pile Drivers and Bridge Builders, Hoisting Engineers, Steam and Hot Water Filters and Coal TeamSters.
 This action, which is a direct out come of the lockout of the teamsters, will have for it's immediate effect the cessation of labor in and around the great docks of the city about San Fran cisco bay. The Sand Teamsters union and the Oakland Teamsters union also ordered strike This will make a total of over 25,O00union workmen who have stopped work since the middle of May.
 Unless the proprietors and managers are able to secure sufficient non-union help to load and man their vessels, the strike will practically mean the closing of the port and the suspension of busi- ness in the wholesale and manufacture ing sections of San Francisco and Oak land.
 Members of the Employers associa- ton state that they have fully consid- cred the cost of the strike and are pre- pared to meet it. The steamship man agers will hold a meeting to-day to con- sider their course.
 The industrial conciliation committee of the municipal league made a strenu- ous effort yesterday to avert the threat ened strike but without avail.
 The City Front Federation has is sued a statement in which it reviews the situation and states that the strike was not ordered until all honorable means of effecting settlement had been tried in vain.

DIVIDEND IS UNPREcEDENTED.
leirst National of New York Pays One
 Thousand Per Cent.

Thousand Per Cent.
 New York, July 30.-One thousand Ter cent dividend has been declared by -Ie directors of the First National lnk
 This breaks oil records. Dividends I 100 per cent, or $100 annual profit on share worth at par $100, have not cen so uncommon-the First National LSeif has made such distributions for hany years-but 1000 dividend on Jock worth at par $100 has no prece- -ent.
 The Chemical National bank pays 5O per cent a year to stockholders, shile there are several banks, trust ompanies and even some industrial oncerns, including the Standard Oil ompany, paying from 30 to 100 per ant a year.
 The dividend on the old First Ma aonal bank stock of $500,000 amounts } $5,000,000. But some of the novel, : is taken out of the fact when it is Id that the declaration is made not ,om earnings on capital stock of fly $500,000, but also from the earn ,gs on $5,000.000 surplus fund and ndiVided profits of a sum almost Iual; and further that the dividend sas made to facilitate the banks in- Tease iii capital from $500, ,OOO to $1O,- 00.000, with a surplus of $1O,O0O,0 GOO making it the largest bank in the ountry as to capital and surplus.
 And an interesting feature of this transaction is that a harmony agree ment among three of the biggest banks of the countrywide First, the Chase and the National Bank of Com merce-has been made by the large stockholders, including J. Pierpont Morgan.
 Officers of the First National bank lesftated to talk about the big divi- lend yesterday, but finally admitted n extraordinary dividend had been lec1ared. 1t was learned, however, hat such action was necessary to omplete easily the plan to absorb the National Bank of the Republic. The cheme to merge the latter bank has cen approved by a majority of it's tockholders, and only details remain before the First National bank as- -umes the position that befits its name.

TO INSPECT THE BRIDGE.
District Attorney Philbin Appoints
 Edwin Duryea.

Edwin Duryea.
 New York. July 30.-District Attor- -ney Philbin appointed as his engineer to inspect the Brooklyn bridge Edwin Duryea of Brooklyn. MT Duryea's ap- pointment was made as a result of several conferences MT Philbin has had with engineers of this city, including William Barclay Parsons. Mir Duryea was recommended as an eminently competent and proper person to make thorough investigation of the bridge.
 Mir Duryea is under instructions to inspect the bridge and ascertain wheth- CT or not the bridge is now safe under present conditions. MT Duryea said that it would take six weeks to make the inspection and have his report fin iShed. Mir Duryea has been an engi- neer for sixteen years; he is a gradu- ate of Cornell and for four years was in the employ of the East River Brdige commission.
 The Brooklyn Eagle last night said: Luther w. Stevens, mining engineer and chemist, makes one of the most sensational disclosures respecting the bridge that has yet been made public, and if he has seen and heard alright it shows more clearly than ever the nee essity for caution and activity in re- pair. Mir Stevens was installing some work on the bridge at the time. and in order to keep his job and get hisSmoney he made no report of what he learned. He discovered that when the girder buckled three years ago, the cradle on the Brooklyn tower was drawn out of place and pulled within few inches of the river edge. The cradle is the iron frame that supports the big cables. When this was reported the regular bridge engineers instructed the discov- erer ito keep his mouth shut'' The slipping of the cradle might have meant disaster. It would certainly have precipitated a panic. He realizes that the time has passed for silence and he make this matter public at last. It is peter late than never. and it becomes evident that inspections must not be confined to the roadways or the cables, but must be extended to the towers, anchorages and every part of the bridge"
