! pany had refused to honor the draft of the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Com
/ pany, as arranged by the arbitrators of the
transcontinental pool, has thrown a yerita-
| bic bombshell into California railroad cir
Giles here. Some of the agents say it means
| that Huntington has thrown down the
gantlet to the pool, and intends to run his
roads independently. Others saw it is moth
ing more than bluff from Stubbs.
Your correspondent saw C. P. Hunting
| ton, and showed him the dispatch. He
said " don't know anything about it. but
| If the Southern Pacific Company has re-
fused TO pay anybody's drafts, it is because
there are good and sufficient reasons why
they ought not to be paid'
| The statement of President Strong of tbe
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road. which
was telegraphed from ST. Paul this morn

together, we are perfectly Indifferent wheth-

Another Report from General Crook.
WASHINGTON, October 7th.-Under date
of October ID, General Crook reports the
movements of the hostile Apaches as fol-
lows The Indians have been for two
days in the Chiricahua mountains, but
have been prevented from crossing San
Simeon valley, in the STEMS Peak range,
as was evidently their intention Yester-
day morning they were forced out of these
mountains by the scouts and troops, and
driven into Sulphur Spring valley, and
their trail was lost after dark. They have
stolen sufficient stock to mount themselves
well, and am informed this afternoon that
they went into the Dragons this morning.
They probably killed two men III the Chi
rlcahua mountains, and this in spite of
every effort made to warn all citizens. Two
companies OF the Tenth Cavalry and Cap
tain Woods troop of the Fourth Cavalry
are on their trail, and it is presumed that
Captain Crawford, with his scouts, is also.
Everything possible for the troops to do is
being done TO try and destroy the hostiles."
Another dispatch from Colonel Bradley
states that railroad men say the Apaches
crossed the railroad west of Wilcox, Ari-

are OF the lowest class of Italians. The
case has been under investigation several
weeks, and the trap was sprung TO-DAY. at
the risk of losing some of the gang nv

suited in finding some letters, which deyel-

Growing Strength of the knights of
Labor.
NEW YORK, October 7th.-The rapid
growth OF the Knights of Labor in the
United states and Canada is brought prom
inently into notice this morning by pub
llshed reports of the General Assembly
now converting at Hamilton, Ont, and bv
the recent success of the knights in elect
ing the Mayor of Newark, Conn, against
formidable opposition. The Canada Con-
yention was opened with an address from
General Master Workman PowderIy. in
which he claimed 1000 assemblies OF
Knights, embracing 100000 members, near
" all the growth of the past seven wears.
He said that in 1873 the order was I'M
known to the world and belonged to a few :;
to-day 1t IS known and respected every
where and belongs to every man and
woman who tolls for livelihood, and
every slave of the earth who seeks freedom
from the tyranny of aggregated capital.
The use of dynamite and violence was de-
nounced, the holding of public lands by
aliens deprecated as wrong, the introduc-
ton OF cheap foreign labor stigmatized as
un-American and unpatriotic, and to be
resisted. Minister Phelps is declared to
have spoken falsely when he announced
abroad that there was employment and
prosperity In America for all who desire to
come.
The success of the Knights at the Con-
nectlcut ballot-box is received in trades
union circles here with much satisfaction,
and there Will be q celebration of the event
1t is limited that the knights in this city
may quietly take a hand in the coming
election for Aldermen and members of the
Legislature on their own account.
