NEW YORK, Angus, 1; Fear that
this city will have severe siege of
typhoid fever which might no, be
checked until cold weather sets in,
caused the health department to issue
a statement yesterday as to the nature
of the disease and rules for checking
Its spread.
According TO the medical officer of
the department there were during the
year up to the beginning of the pres.
ent month l,496 cases of typhoid and
3o5 deathsiu Greater New York.
In proportion to the population
there have been more cases and more
deaths in Brooklyn than In any other
borough, which Commissioner Oar.

tamination of the water supply of tha
borough, although it has been stated
that upon examination of the city
water in Bay Ridge and Bath Beach,
no typhoid germs had been found.

THE STRIKE.
Both Sides Continue to Make Statcme nts
Favorable to Themselves.

HELENA, Aug. Ill. j. Dermody,
fourth vice president of the Order OF
Railway Tele9raphers, in an inter.
view today, predicted the end OF the
strike within few days and that,
when the end came, victory would be
found on the eide OF the striking tel.
graphers.
"Advices from St. Paul and other
points along both systems," said Mr..
Dermody, 'indicate that freight traffic
is virtually at standstill, and we are
proving uniformly successful in induc-
ing strike breakers to leave their po.
sitions for which they were import.

1t Is also rumored that the teleRra-
piers intend to take steps to prevent
the bringing Of men into Montana to
take the place of strikers by means of
injunctions, on the ground that they
are being brought here under false
pretenses.
Railroad officials seem equally con-
fident as to the outcome and Say they
are feeling little effect of the so.calletl
strike. The Northern Pacific passen.
ger trains were virtually on time to.
day, while through freight trains were
moved on that line. Similar reports
were given out at the Great Northern
offices.

Efforts at Arbitration.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 20.-There will be
no arbitration of the strike of the tel.
egraphers against the Great Northern
railroad. General Superintendent
slade says:
"Ninety per cent of our men have
returned to work and we certainly
will not arbitrate with the other 10 per
cent.
Following the receipt of the letter
urging arbitration, which was dictated
by Governor johnson last night, c. G..
Bum, general counsel for the North.
ern Pacific railway, held a lengthy
conference with the Minnesota execu-
tive assembly. Beyond the fact that
the conference had to do with the
strike situation, nothing was given
out by the executive department.
The governor received letter from
President Perham expressing his will.
ingness to arbitrate. Mr.. Perham
writes:
~ am aware of the troubles being
caused by the telegraphers' strike, and
| desire to bring them to an end as
speedily as possible. In behalf of the
railroad telegraphers, l endorse your
suggestion in regard to submitting the
natter to arbitration and accept the
tender Of the executive department to
bring about settlement of the diff.
culties."
Up to a late hour this afternoon
Governor Johnson had not received
any answer to his letter to President
Hill or President Elliott.

IMMENSE FIELD OF KAOLIN
DISCOVERED IN COLORADO.

An immense field of kaolin. min
eral which it was thought could not
be found within the confines of the
Centennial state, has just been dis
covered near Parkdale, on the Rio
Grande railroad, and Charles Boett-
cher, a Denver man well known on
the western slope, has secured an op-
ton on the property.
Experts pronounce the field 10 be
the largest bed of kaolin in the world.
and in view of the fact that nearly
all of this mineral used in the United
States comes from Europe, 1t Is eX
pected that millions of dollars will
be made from the find.
Kaolin is a variety of hard rock
which is ground into fine powder and
used in this form for whitening pa
per. refining beet sugar and kindred
purposes. II is very rare, and there
is only one bed of any consequence in
the United States from which kaolin
is taken. This is in New York state,
and has proved a paying Investment
to those interested.
The Colorado bed or vein IS about
one mile from Parkdale. toward Can
on City, and is located directly on the
railroad, so that the cost of shipment
will be reduced to a minimum. II
tends for two miles on either side, as
far as the investigation has yet been
carried. The vein was discovered by
a mining man acquainted with the
appearance of the ore, who was fish
ing in the gorge. For coo yards on
either bank it is laid bare by action
of the water. and the width of the
vein varies from this to 800 yards, as
far as il has been traced.
The land on which the discovery is
located belongs to w. II. Murray.
postmaster at Parkdale and a prom
inent politician in the southern part
of Colorado He is a large cattle
owner. and has ranch in the vicin-
ity of Parkdale where he keeps his
stock.
The news of the discovery was
brought to Denver several days ago,
and Mr.. Boettcher went to investigate
IL. with the result that he now has
an option on the property.
KaoIin ore has heretofore been
shipped from Europe and taken
around to Chicago by way of the
great lakes. II is then shipped by
rail to Kansas City. and from that
market distributed through the coun-
try. It sells in the latter city for

THE sun IN ECLIPSE
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING.

Those who are energetic enough to
arise tomorrow morning along about
the hour of five o'clock Will find that
the moon is interfering with the rays
of the sun.
The eclipse will only be partial,
however, as far as western America is
concerned and can be seen better
with smoked glasses. Part of the sun
will be obscured when it rises. and
the dark shadow will grow until only
right crescent is seen, then the
shadow will recede and within an
hour the big world of light will be
clear again.
Universities and astronomical soci-
cites all over the world have organiz-
ed expeditions to go to those places

that the sun will ne totally eclipsed
