ADVICE.

He Counsels knights of Labor to Alb
stain From Interference With the
Brotherhood Fight.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-A letter from
General Master Workman Powderly was
given to the Associated Press at Scranton
this evening, in which be says: II have been
asked what my opinion is concerning the
strike OF the engineers OF the Burlington
system. An expression OF opinion is re-
quested as to whether I favor the Knights
of Labor taking the places of the Brother
hood men. | do not know the particulars
of the strike in question, but il it is true
that the men are making an effort to do
away with the European custom OF grading
men up and down, regardless If merit, then
they are right for making a fight for equal
itv. My opinion Of a maj who takes the
place OF another struggling for his rights
is, that he deserves the contempt and scorn
OF every man who loves justice. 1t is true
the members OF the Brotherhood have on
repeated occasions taken the places OF
members of the Knights of Labor, Blu
merits OF various cases have nothing to do
with the principle of honor involved in all
OF them. 1t is to the eternal shame OF the

1T would be bad policy for the commit
tees appointed by the Council! and Board
OF Trade to include in the new limits the
ground on which any of the smelters are
situated. What this city needs is to give
these institutions all the encouragement
possible. They are at n disadvantage now
in the price OF coal, freight, etc, and EN-.
pIoyirg, as they do. many hands, ought to
be spared the extra inhiction Of city taxes.
II the southern city boundary is made the
center of Silver Bow creek from Missoula
smclter, it will best suhserve the interests
OF all parties.

KANSAS CITY, February 2S.-The tie-up
on the Burlington system is as complete
here to-day as it was yesterday. The com,
pany has succeeded in sending out passen.
ger trains manned with green hands, but
they have been more or less late in depart
ing, and as a result only n handful Of PASS
engers have boarded any outgoing trains.
The freight business is completely block
AIDED, and is much worse than the pass
enger traffic. Large squads Of policemen
are stationed at the union depot, and d
detail is sent over the river to Harlem for
the protection of new engineers. Governor
Morehouse sent a telegram this evening to
Captain jeff Dunlap, Of the Kansas City
Light Infantry, ~instructipg him to hold his
company in readiness.

Effects of the Disaster.

VALLEJO, Cal, February 28.-A number
OF parties to-day resumed the search Tor
the bodies of the victims in yesterday r
explosion on the ferry steamer Julia, but
no more bodies were recovered during the

brought tC. the surface tonight. Divers
went down to-day and made a careful IN
spection of the wreck. They found the
port boiler blown overheard and the star
board boiler torn apart. The boilers are
Of the locomotive type, containing t"u
fire boxes each. The rupture occurred At
the end Of the taper course. The fire box
end WAS turned upside down and thrown
forward the bottom straining AgAinSt the
oil tanks. These arc
FORCED OUT OF PLACE,
but not ruptured. the oil still remains in
the tanks, showing they did not explode.

eral the testimony showed that while It was
