KNIGHTS AT WAR.
Detective Furlong Writes a Long Letter to
 MT. POwderiy.


 Mr. Powderiy.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-The Knights of Labor war is very bitter, and those en- gagged in it have allowed themselves to indulge in personalities to a degree that must surely be a cause of future regret for all. The fight was looked upon as local one so long as the names of Nor timer D. Shaw, William II. Blake and their associates only were used, but the real generals in the war on Pow derly are greater and smarter men. Thomas W. Furlong, Jay Gould's chief of detectives during tho great South western strike. and who has aspired to be Chief of the United States Secret Service, is, 1t is said, the real com mander of Powderlys enemies, and he has for his adviser Marshall P. McDon- ald, an attorney who has won a national reputation for his shrewdness and vigor in certain lines of legal practice.
 They have come to the front sooner warfare is an open one. Tho opposition of Powderly and the Knights to Fur long's appointment is based on Mir. Fur1ong's action during the big strike, 1 it being charged that he persecuted members of the order beyond the lines of his official duty. Furlong has written long letter to Powderly in which he reviews the history of the strike, and asserts that he kept strictly within the confines of his official duty; that in stead of 600 arrests less than 200 were made; that of these more than two thirds resulted in convictions, showing that he did not arrest innocent men. He pays special attention to the arrest of six men for wrecking train at Wyan- dotte, Kan. Concerning these he shows that two of them who have sued the railroad company for damages have withdrawn their suits.
