In response to the explanation Cas-
siano makes to your reporter in regard
to the marshalship, | will say he
only confirms what we before believed,
namely, that he was playing trick up
on us. He mentioned gentleman pres
enr, John Cavanaugh, but as the CONVEX
sation was III Spanish, how did he I'M
derstand what we said, and be forgets
to say that Elias Cadenas, Ascension
Cruz, Adriand Torres and Jesus villa
were also present. They can say
whether this was in the form of joke on

They Might Do Worse.

From the Baltimore Americana
Taking as fair business basis that
there are 100000 Knights of Labor in

to them to figure on expenditures with
a dividend attachment? They might
contribute, say, 81 apiece per annum
toward a land fund, the amount to be
invested in the Western lands for the
retire from the wage-working class.
A million acres Of good tillable land
would constitute foundation for the
association better than all strikes for
higher wages ever organized.

There is a house on Matamoras street,

property has had considerable trouble in
keeping tenants on account of the nu-
merous stories told about the place.
