Yor'; between the progressives and district as
ser .hly 40 knights of Labor. The latter
as sembly has compelled Levy Bros, cigar man
facturcrs, to discharge all their help except
those who are knights. When this order
was read to Levy's employees they wore filIed
with surprise and indignation, and denied the
right of the knights Of Labor SO to dictate to
them. The cigar company. however, gave
the knights "a hours in (which to fill up the
shop with those belonging to their order. Inc
Cigar Manufacturers Association naturally
favor the knights Of Labor rather than the
Progressive or the International Union, as the
two latter demand more pay. Inc Progressive
Union has adopted resolution opposing q
union with the Knights Of Labor.
The Anarchist Trials.
A COMPLETE WEB OF EVIDENCE BEING WOVEN
AROUND THE WILLIAMS.
The prosecution appears to be making out a
strong case against the Chicago anarchists.
There seems to be no doubt that the villains
planned to massacre the police, and went extern
sively into the manufacture of bombs for that
purpose 1t also seems that the murders that
did take pl zee by the explosion of bomb were
due to their plans. If this is legally proven,
every person engaged in the conspiracy is liable
to be hanged.
H L Gilmer, a painter, testified that the even
ing of the massacre he saw the wagon occupied
by the speakers and Fielding was speaking,
saw some one leave the wagon and start to-
ward the alley where four or five persons were
conversing. At that moment some one cried,
"Here comes the police" Then the man who
had left the wagon and joined the parties in
the alley lit a match and placing 1t against
something held in the hand of one of the per-
sons, fuse began to sizz'e and Immediately
thereafter the bomb was thrown. The witness
was shown the picture of Schnanbslt and recog-
nized it as that of the man who had thrown
the bomb. The witness also recognized Spies
and Fischer as two of the group referred to In
the alley. This appeared to be crushing evil
dence against the accused. When he pointed
out Spies as the man who had lighted the fuse,
Judge, jury counsel, prisoners and spectators
leaned forward eager to catch every word and
the most intense suppressed excitement pre-
vailed. The faces of the prisoners turned livd
with fear The cross examination in the
afternoon failed to shake Gilmer inthe least.
His testimony is considered by far the most
damaging yet recorded. Officer Quinn testified
to finding in the basement of EngePs house,
the crucible in which was melted the material
used to manufacture bombs. Tinsmith Lewis
Mullendorf testified to have made the cruclble
for Enge who took it away.
WHOLE VILLAGES IN DEsTITUTIoN AND MANY
DYING.
The Dominion de 3artment Of the interior at
Ottawa, Ont, confirm the reports of starva-
ton and death along the coasts OF Labrador
and Newfoundland. A terrible state of desti-
fut oSyisf Tn T,ahr IN
shown no sign of breaking up for 300 or 400
miles out, and fishing is OF course impossible.
AS there is no other employment for the men,
they are dying from restitution as though
plague stricken. Twenty-tour of the AZ inhab-
itants OF one village died in June, while in an
other of p inhabitants 30 have persisted from
want. Winter again sets in early in October,
and unless ample relief is speedily forthcoming
the most dire consequences must follow. Along
the coast of Newfoundland 100 have already
died OF starvation and $500 more are helpless
and near death. The people there are without
requisite clothing or even the necessaries OF
life. Relief is being asked from the govern
ment and will DO afforded
A White Bay, NF, dispatch says that
large number Of Arctic bears, driven south by
stalvation have crossed over from Pennyland
over 1000 and have appeared near Cape
Mugford. The Indians in that locality are eat
ing their dead companions. Those who die
among the white settlers are buried secretly
to keep the EsqumauX from getting their
bodies. The graves are all disguised. 1F.
