SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 25.-The Associated
Press is in possession of long letter from
Mr.. Powderly on the subject of the Burl-
ington strike. Mr. Powderly recalls, not
without some bitterness, the attitude of
the Brotherhood Locomotive Engineers,
especially during the Knights OF Labor
strike on the Gould system two years ago,
but declares that that has no bearing on
the questions involved in the BurlinGton's
strike and says that any man, whether a
Knight OF Labor or a member OF the
Brotherhood of Engineers who
struggling for justice is ''scab." In this
connection he says: Labor will be for
ever bound hand and foot at the feet of
capital as long as workingmen are pitted
against each other" The letter concludes
as follows: knights of Labor from
Maine to California. stand back-keep
YOUR hands off; let the law of retaliation
be disregarded, and let the men of the
Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy railroad
win this strike if they can.
General Master Workman"
DENVER, Feb. 2S-A telegram received
here last night from Omaha, denies that
the engineers had anything to do with the

claimed the trouble was caused by lot of

nected with the brotherhood.

time before assistance reached them, and
then they could only be rescued by swim

reached it was thought he was still alive.

Flat Headed Indians

The custom Of fiattening the heads by
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. 1t was done in in
fancy with a hat made of cedar bark,
beaten, pressed steadily on the forehead.
1t has been SO often described by nuner-
Gus writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here
have been unable to see any difference
between the intellect of those whose heads
have thus been flattened and those which
are natural. Some of the Indians, how
ever. believe that it has caused numerous
headaches among them in after life. Very
few infants are thus treated now.-Cor.

between two small educational journals in
Upper Alton resulted today in the severe
castigation of one of the participants.
One of these publications is the College
Review, owned by stock company of the
students of Shurtlef College. The other
is the High School Journal, edited by pu-
pills of the Upper Alton High school.
For some time past these papers
have been casting reflections at each
other and the educational institutions they
represent. The last number of the Review
made an attack upon Prof Powell, of the
High school, and the teachers associated
with him in educational work Today
Prof. Power called upon Mr.. Mcintyre and
demanded the name of the author of the
article. Upon Mr.. Mcintyre's refusal to
give it, the professor attacked him say
agely with cane, beating him severely
about the head, face and shoulders. The
matter Is not expected to end here.

MORE FISHERY QUESTIONS

MONTREAL, Can, Feb. 2s-There is a
likelihood, at an early date, that forty or
fifty of the finest salmon rivers on the
coast of Labrador will be thrown open to
Americans, who now control the best
fishing in Canada. The rivers in the
Labrador district are leased by the owners
of the Mingan Seigeure, whose title to the
property is now being contested by the
government. The original deed dates back
to the early part of the seventeenth CEN
tury, but it is said was never signed by
the French king, and if this is proved to
be the case the property extends from
below the Saguaney river along the coast
for $50 miles, and reaches into the interior
ten or twenty miles
