KNIGHTS AND TIE SEE.
THEIR STANDING DEPENDING
ON THE OATH TAKEN.

Promises to Blindiy Obey the Rules OF
Secret Societies Onalterably Opposed
by the Church-Organization of Labor
Favored by the Church-CardinalG Glib
bOns the Authority.
BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 14.-The Ameri-
can will print tomorrow an interview
with Cardinal Gibbons. He says Cardi-
nal Taschereau's condemnation Of the
knights of Labor should not be taken as
the sentiment of the church. II am not
familiar with the labor organization in
Quebec, but it is certain that the CardI-
NAILS hostility grew out of some local
laws or conduct Of the knights which are
contrary to the doctrines of the church.
AS to the knights OF Labor in the United
States, have not thoroughly examined
their constitution or studied their pur-
poses. Yet from the newspapers and Mr..
Powderly's statements l infer that their
objects are praiseworthy and not opposed
to church views.
THB CHURCH FAVORs ORGANIZATION.
"CathOlio prelates will, to man, de
clare in favor OF organization of labor.
There can be no wrong in it. Organiza-
| ton is the basis of all progress, political,

abused does the church raise her voice.
| have no knowledge OF the local societies
| in Canada. Whether or not secret pledges
are taken by the knights OF Labor there is
a question on which more light should be
! thrown by their leaders. Vicar General
| Conway, of Chicago, assured me that il
| bears no resemblance to the order of NJ
sons, odd Fellows, and other organizations
which the church has always antagc-
nized.
DISTINCTIONS IN OATHS.
GA distinction must be made as to the
nature of secret pledges. We hold that
II man joins a society, swearing never
TO reveal any OF its workings and to obey
the dictates of lts officers bindly, he sur
renders his personal liberty. On the other
hand, If man joins swearing to keep Sc
cret its workings, with the proviso that
nothing snail be contrary to the laws Of
the land. we hold he Is perfectly justi-
fable.
ALL HINGING ON THIS QUESTION.
''The whole question depends on which
Of these oaths the members take. If the
latter, and in accordance with Mr.. Pow
derly's statements, then the church says
to the Knights OF Labor: God speed
yOu.' If, however, the absolute blind
pledge is taken no matter how laudable
the object of the society, the church can
never countenance it, aud will call on her
children TO withdraw under pain of eX-
communication. So everything depends

DRIVING OUT CHINESE.
The Spirit of moderation Breaks
Out in Alaska.

OuG I'D AIdSkA.
SEATTLE, W. T., Aug. 14.-Advices
from Alaska are to the effect that the
anti-Chipese movements have spread to
that territory. Aug. 4, at a meeting at
Juneau, 1t was decided that the Chinese
employed by the Alaska Mill and Mining
Company on Douglass Island must go.
A committee OF titJy proceeded to the
island and demanded that Mr.. TreadWell,
the manager, discharge them. He
refused. The committee returned to
Juneau and reported to the citizens. At
a secret meeting on Aug. = 100 miners
proceeded by boat TO Douglass Island and
in spite of Mr. TreadwelPs protest assem-
bled the Cinnamon, eighty in number, at
the wharf Tor shipment TO Seattle by the
steamship Idaho.
SET ADRIFT IN A SCHOONER.
The Captain OF the Idaho refused TO re.
ceive them and as Mr.. Treadwell had
gone to Stka appealing for aid from the
United States steamer Pinta the miners
were worried 10 devise a quick means of
disp0sing of the prisoners. There were
two schooners lying al Douglass Island.
The committee chartered one and seized
the other, the Captain declining to char
ter it. The Cinnamon were put aboard
the small vessels and given 100 sacks OF
rice and some tea. The vessels then
sailed for Wrangel Island, but a storm
arose and they were unable to land.
When the idaho left Alaska they were
beating about near Juneau, both crowded
with Chinese.

TRUE TO HER SON.

Thursday night a mob, believing that
Green's mother knew the whereabouta
OF her son, went TO her house. A rope
was placed around the old woman's neck
and she was threatened with death If she
did not reveal his hiding place, but the
threats Of lynching were OF no avail. The
mother refused to open her mouth to be-
tray him. The mystery Is deepened by
the disappearance OF another of Miss
Mabbetts visitors, John Yerkis. On the
night of the abduction William Walker
made call on Miss Mabbett's sister, and
he has since been arrested as Green's ac-
complice. Mrs. Green has also been
arrested.

Dakota yesterday morning, and had
reached Central Wyoming at p. M, and

Reports from the range country, as far
as possible to obtain them, do not show
