EASTERN KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
They Are Not Opposed to the chinese-No
Action Taken by Them.
Soecial 10 Salt Lake Tribune.


NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-John A. Dooner
said TO YOUR correspondent 81 am chair
man of the committee appointed by the
Knights of Labor to investigate the work
ings of the Chinese restriction act in the
East, and will make affidsvits as to the cor
rectness of the information given you re-
speeding the increase of Chinese immigration
here, and their employment in various
trades" The executive committee of the
Knights of Labor has been in session at the
Astor House since Monday.
Your correspondent saw George Powderly,
Grand Master Of the Eastern Branch, this
morning, concerning statements made by
Dooner. Powderly said: "Whoever Dooner
Is, be has no authority to act for any branch
of the Knights of Labor In the East. We
have formed no anti Chinese league, and
called no mass meeting for the purposr Of
recommending the expulsion of the Chinese.
We propose to act strictly In accordance
with law, whatever our San Francisco
brothers may do. The Knights of Labor
In the East
ARE NOT OPPOSED TO CHINESE
who have the right to engage In business
here under the constitution. To those who
evade the restriction act and unlswfully set
tie here, we will have something to say when
the time comes. l know Of no organized
movement In the East to drive them out, and
probably nothing Of the kind exists"
Master Workman George Blair, leading
member Of the Knights Of Labor in this city.
said: "The subject OF Chinese labor has not
come prominently before our organization
yet, nor has It been sgitated In the district
meetings. The Chinese only affect two in.
dustries In this city at present, laundriss and
cigar manufacturers. The former has no
recognized head, and Is virtually controlled
by the Chinese anyhow. or the latter, but
few Chinese are employed to my knowledge
as yet. When they begin multiplying 1t will
be easy to get rid Of them, for the great ma
jority of the cigar makers belong TO the
knights Of Labor. 1t Is possible Dooner Is
acting on the authority Of the distric. leader,
backed BY private parties who desire to Gust
John Chinamau."

ROME, Dec. 1O.-The trial commenced
here to. day of butcher named Tezzio, and
his wife, son and daughter, who are charged
with the murder of one Poggi, also butcher.

ousy and family disputes. Poggi was en-.
trapped into Tezzio's cellar, where the MUIR
der was committed. The bocy Of the victim
was cut into pieces and the remains were

tear me to piecesw The terrible story has
created an intense excitement throughout

A.pssGERous TORPEDO.
The Mechanical Paradox Utilized in Storage.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Dec. l2.-Captain
j. A. Howell and Lieut.. A. r. Conden, of
the United States Navy, have been in the
city for several weeks experimenting with .
submarine torpedo invented and patented
by Captain Howell. The Government has
become Interested in the new and destruc-
tive implement, and the tests made were by
authority Of the Navy Department. The
owner made the experiments simply in his
capacity as aprivate citizen and the pat
entee, while Conden was commissioned to
look after the interests of the Government.
The aim In view was launching the torpedo
from vessel TO have it project itself ct good
speed In direct line as pointed, at con-
slant depth. speed Of 1916 knots (eigh.
teen miles) for twenty yards, was obtained
with an extreme range Of over 500 yards,
while perfect direction has been combined
with great regularity of submergence. The
torpedo Is cigar shaped, and weighs 2s4 lbs,
carrying 40 lbs. of charge; its extreme length
is nine feet, diameter 49, inches, shell Of
galvanized iron one-thirty. second of an inch
In thickness. The machinery consists of q
fy-wheel, with axles transverse geared TO
twin screws. The automatic steering and
diving apparatus weighs five pounds, and Is
placed in q chamber in the rear to which the
water has access. The submergence Is
effected by the relative action on the hori.
zontal rudder Of q spring and the water
pressure, which varies with the depth. The
device by which the torpedo is steered is on
the principle of gyroscope, which, being
constructed to turn about two axes at the
same time, revolves about the resultant
axes; so the torpedo, when acted on by q
DETECTING force, rolls to right or left. If the
tendency to defect be to the right or left, q
detecting force therefore rolls without
changing the direction of axes, as the rolling
of the torpedo, through the Intervention OF
a pendulum, actuates a rudder In the tor
pedo and Is rolled back, which is equivalent
to steering it, since the original defective
force has been followed by an equal opposite
ruider force. This is supposed to be the
only torpedo which steers itsels.

Cleveland Making Enemies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE silver men
apparently grow more and more displeased
with the attitude on the silver question.
Senator Beck Is preparing q speech In reply
to the Presidents remarks Oh silver. Bland
says 1t could hardly be expected that an
Eastern man, such as the Secretary Of the
Treasury, who was President of National
Bank, would take any other attitude than
to oppose the continued coinage Of silver
dollars. He rather expected the President
would be under the same influences.
Publicity will soon be thrown on the
Manton Marble researches in Europe on this
question. In accordance with the resolu-
tions introduced by Senator Morrill, calling
upon the President to communicate docu-
ments or information obtained by him on
the subject, he is now preparing to send to
the Senate, Marbles reports.

SAN FRANCISCO SOCIALISTS.
They Want 10 Dynamite Men They Cannot
Scare.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-One of the
most sensational and startling plots for
wholesale assassination of the most promi-
nent men of this city came TO light here to-
night. Sometime ago the police obtained
information of the existence Of an organiza-
ton called the "Socialistic Revolutionary
Association" which, 1t was asserted, was
composed of ultra socialistic members. A
close watch was kept on their movements,
and the police finally succeeded in obtain
ing minutes Of their meeting held November
Esd, From these facts they discovered that
1t was the intention Of the association to
"put out Of the way" about twenty men,
Including w. T. Coleman, Congressman W.
W. Morrow, Gen. w. Fl. Barnes, Mayor
Bartlett, u. S. Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, lie
land Stanford, Charles Croker, Governor
Stonemau, the principal police officials, and
several others. These names were placed
on the "proscriptive list" aud placed in the
hands of the executive committee TO carry
out the order of the association. The com
mittee were TO devise the best mode Of &C.
complishing the base plot, aud were thus
engaged when their work was brought to q
sudden ter mination to night by the discov-
cry of the associations headquarters at 900
Montgomery avenue by the police, and the
arrest of four men found therein, Julius G..
Koosher, Henry Wiseman, Charles Miltel-
stadt, and Oscar Eggrr. In the room were
also found a complete laboratory for manu-.
featuring internal machines. These men
were taken to the city prison, where they
boldly asserted that they were dynamiters,
and proposed to get rid Of the citizens

Carlessness Results in Heavy Loss of Life.
ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 15.-One of the most
terrible railroad accidents ever known in
Georgia occurred at midnight, fifteen miles
from this city. on the Georgia Pacific road.
The East Tennessee and Georgia Pacific
roads use the same tract to Aus:ell, and last
night the Georgia Pacific mixed train, with
. coach and one sleeper, stopped at tank
for water. The coach and sleeper were on
. trestle thirty feet in height. The East
Tennessee passenger, going at . speed of 80
miles per hour, struck the sleeper and went
nearly half way through 1t. The wreck was
terrible. The fireman sprang overheard and
received slight injuries. The engineer held
to the trestle and was unhurt. Ten persons
were killed aud as many wounded. All
those killed died from being scalded by
STERN from the colliding locomotive. The
trail run into was behind time, and on the
time of the train that run into it.
