his brains out. 1t is a strange affair, and no

A New Labor Organization.

BosToN. March 23.-A rumor has for some
time been current in labor circles here that a
new secret order, resembling that of the Knights
of Labor, and to be called the Knights of Indus
try. was in course of formation. Inquiry yes
terday showed that the report is well founded.
A number q meetings have been held, corre-
spondence opened with labor leaders, and a
preamble and declaration of principles provision
ally adopted. In few days. perhaps, public
meetings will be called and action taken for the
incorporation of the order and the securing of
members. j. w. Mahoney, W. F. Falls n. E.
Chase and other prominent labor agitators
are local leaders in the movement. The or
der will embrace hand and brain workers
throughout the country. and will work on
the same general lines as the Knights of
Labor, but with more detniteness upon GER
tain issues Strikes will be discouraged
and arbitration advocated. A congress of the
leaders will probably be held in September. The
new order is not intended to antagonize the
Knights of Labor, but to supplement it, and its
promoters believe that they will have the SYM
pathy and assistance of the older organization.

Loss of Confidence in His Method Because
of the Death of Patient.
PARIS, March 23.-One of the wolf bitten RUS
SLAMS, who recently came here and were treated
by NJ. Pasteur to prevent rabies, died last night
in agony, with all the symptoms of hydrophobia.
NJ. Pasteur is not at all dismayed at the failure
of his treatment in this case.
The Russians arrived here and were placed
under Pasteur's care on March 15 They were
Mujiks, and we're nineteen in number All had
been bitten by mad wolves. Pasteur willingly
undertook to treat them, and at once placed them
in his hospital. The man who died last night
had been carefully operated upon and regularly
innoculated with virus, twice day, since he ar
rived. His terrible death, with all the symp-
toms of hydrophobia in its worst form, has seri-
ously checked public confidence in the effective
ness of Pasteur's discovery. The first positive
indications that the patients system was resist
ing the treatment manifested themselves on
Sunday after he had been in the hospital over
five days He~soon afterwards became a victim
of the most terrible suffering, and this seemed to
increase hourly up to the time of death, which
occurred while the man was mad and wild with
physical torture The corpse has been removed
to Pasteur's laboratory, where it will be made
the subject Of experiment by the scientist. M
Pasteur is much annoyed by the unfavorable
comments caused by this failure Of his method,
but he insists that it establishes nothing.

Congressman Anderson's Bill for Commits
sion to Adjust Trade Difficulties.
Washington Special
Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, has introduced in
the House bill looking to government arbitra-
tion of labor troubles. It provides for the ap-
pointment of nine commissioners, one of whom
is to be suggested by the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, one by the Knights of Labor
and one by the association of farmers which has
the most numerous membership. each commits
sioner TO receive So, 900 per year and travelling
expenses, and not to accept railroad or tele-
graph passes. The commission is to be divided
into sections of three members, each section to
have astenographer and to be empowered to
send for persons and papers, and to exam
inc witnesses under oath. The duty of the COM
missionis either it's own motion or on the
affidavit of three reputable citizens of such diff
ference between employers and employees as will
result 10 suspension OF travel and traffic on
railways, to investigate the nature and ground
of arbitration. In the event that the
several parties reject the arbitration,
the section shall submit the evidence and decis-
ion to the entire commission for its decision and
the findings of fact and decision shall be compe
tent evidence in any United States court The
commission may submit the same to such court
for review, modification, approval or disapproval,
and the decision of the court shall have the ma
ture of judicial decree upon the parties and ID
the event of their disobediance they shall be
treated as any other parties in contempt of
court subject to fine or imprisonment or both.
In the event of strike or locE out in a private
trade industry, either party may apply to this
commission as an arbitrator, and it may recon-
mend settlement.
This is the first bill Of the kind ever introduced
in Congress. 1t was referred to the labor COM
mittee, as that committee was thought, by Mr..
Anderson, to be favorably disposed towards a
measure of this kind. 1t is reasonably certain
that the substance Of the bill will be reported by
the committee to the House. In fact, the labor
COMMITTEES had been discussing the subject, and
its members are said to be glad that bill crys-
talizing the points has been introduced. Mr..
Anderson has been at work on the subject for a
long time, and before introducing the bin sub
dent that it is constitutional in it's present
form.
