PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-Regarding
the possibility of a warfare between the
American Federation of Labor and the
Knights of Labor, General Secretary P.
G. McGnire, of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners Of America, said
to-day there was no bitterness on the
side of the federation, and If there was
any at all it must have come from the
other organization-the knights. Con-
tinuing, he said. ''1he statement made
in the recent appeal of the Knights of
Labor for assistance, which saws the
carpenters went into the strike in Chi
cagO witho 1T having made any provision
for fight, and that they had
10 money, is absolutely false.
i say the same of another statement to
the effect that the strike has only be-
gun. You can see for yourself from
this that the carpenters of Chicago are
in good shape" Mr. Mcclure showed
the reporter a printed list giving the
inameS and addresses of go employing
carpenters in the city, with the number
sOf men employed by each. who had con-
eeded the strikers demands prior to
May 10. He also said that seventy
more had since then given in.
I'VE had made all the necessary ar
.lanceluents," continued the general
secretary, land have supported all our
smen, besides a large number of noa-
slilion men, but we do not propose to
look out for men that belongto another
organization. Ii they require assistance
we think they should 20 to their own
people for it. 1t is true that in Chicago
and Philadelphia the Knights have
stuck to Us, but in New York they have
stabbed US. We were fighting for eight
hours, but all over the Knights are

city week after next. Tbe duke has
been in India some time in command of
her majesty's troops. and now returns
home for the benefit of his health which
has been undermined by the eneryating
Eastern climate. In addition to the
duchess there are accompanying him
Sir John Mcneil, Col. and Mrs. Cavage.
DR.. Kilkely and the usual retinue Of
servants. The royal party will arrive
in Vancouver on the 23d, and reach
Winnipeg on the 2Sth. After spend
ing the day here they will leave
for Ottawa. Three OF the most elegant
private cars on the Canadian Pacific
railway have been placed at the dis
posal of the party. The duke is to be
the guest of the city, though the practi-
cal-minded citizens are wondering what
the city has got TO do with him, as he
represents nothing. and is not accounted
anything more than the son OF his
mother, the queen, and any honor paid
him will be through respect TO her.
Owing to his illness. the duke has asked
that there oe no feteS which might call
for attention which he could not devote
in his present state of health. The pro-
gramme for his entertainment mere has
not yet been decided upon, but there is
to be an address of welcome and recep

Dixon carries on his person a tOmahawk
ready to rob Kenyon of his scalp. But
despite this little characteristic, Dixon
is prince amcng men. There Is not a
better teller of story. an anec dOte or q
bon mot in the Northwest. Wherever
he goes he is the center or whOle-souled
fun and general good humOr.
In these rate wars the mOduS operandf
is: Cut by the BurlingtOn; retaliation
by the Milwaukee; rest follow. Among
the first to "follow' is the Wisconsin
Central. The Wisconsin Central has a
knife to grind, and the local represen-
tatiye entrusted with that instrument is
City Ticket Agent G. S. Dixon. The
Wisconsin Central is largely to blame for
the continuance of the decentralization
in passenger rates, owing to the refusal
of the road to enter the reOrganized
Western Passenger association until
certain concessions were granted them.
The knife carried by genial Charlie is
nOticeably large, aud, to repeat the
stories of the street. it is said to have
done some secret cutting, which led to
Mr. Keny On's original onslaught several
months ago on passenger rates. There
is one thing about the Wisconsin peO-
ple-they are never heard to complain.
Mr.. Kenyon may cut and slash rates to
his hearts content, the Milwaukee peo-
pie may retaliate by delnOraliZng the
rates throughout the Western states,
the Wisconsin officials never utter a
word. If the rates 90 down the Wis
cOnsin falls quiet in line; whenever
they use the knife it is done without
flourish of trumpttS. That is why
Charlie Dixon moves about so stealthily.
You never know where you nave him.
&
Wisconsin Central always gets there.
The Kansas City line never allows
itself to be far in the rear in meeting
the rates of its competitors. 1t may not
take prominent place in the front of
the fight, as General Passenger Agent
HOldridge, tanning himself with leaf,
prefers to sit i'll the rear and watch the
fortunes of war. 1t is in this way he
raises the claim that the Kansas City
road never gets LETT. While the other
roads are fighting over rates, he is
whOoping in the passengers, reducing
and increasing rates according to the
dictum of his competitors. Mr..
HOldridge claims that the Kan
sas City road never does any
dark work. The officials of competing
roads do not make any direct charge
against the Kansas City, but-well, they

road man. He is we'll known, has

every one. The worst that any one can
say against him is: inlay his shadow
never grow less"
An unbroken quantity in these rate
wars is the 500 road. The 500 is very de
termined in guarding its own interests,
and the least indication of drop in the
rates has startling effect upon Assist
ant General Passenger Agent Thorn,
who Immediately assumes his war
paint and proceeds to apply its hatchet.
The 500 hatchet Is very formidable.

ROCHESTER, Minn., May 17.-Cole's

fire this afternoon. The first intima-
tion of fire was about 2 o'clock, when a
loud explosion was heard. and large
part of the roof of the mill blew off.
Out of the vent poured great
volume of smoke. and it could be seen
that the mill was already on fire all
around under the roof. The alarm was
Immediately given, but the fire depart
meGt was pOWerlesS to stay the progress
of the flames, and the mill was burned
to the ground inside of an hour. The
heat was so intense that the hose was
burned from hydrant at distance of
100 feet from the mill. The mill was
five stories high and built entirely of
wood. 1t was built in 1880 by John M.
Cole, and cost between S4s.000 and
$4,000. 1t stood in the track
of the cyclone of 1888. and was badly
damaged and its owner killed i'm it, The
mill was then sold for $15,0U0 to John j.
FulkerSon, but it did not prove a pay
ing investment, and was sold last win
ter to John A. Cole, son of the builder,
for $4,000. Its daily capacity was $50
barrels. The insurance is as follows:
MillerS' National of Chicago, $500;
hlillers and Manufacturers of Mime
apolis, $1,000; Minneapolis Mutual Fire,
$1,000, and in MillerS' National, $4,000.

lar addressed to those union carpenters
for whom work has not yet been found
under the arbitration agreement with

lar calls the attention of the men to the
fact that the new association is made
up largely of owners of buildings who
are anxious to have them completed at
once, aud that as soon as this is done
they will have no further use for car
penters, so that the condition of the
union carpenters will soon be worse
than before; that they can get from the
old bosses the same terms that they Sc
cured by arbitration from the new, and
calls on them to return to their places
at once. or the old bosses will proceed
to fill their places. The opposition

CHICAGO, May 17.-Some more vigor-

rates was indulged in to-day. The Chi
cago & Northwestern read led off with
giving notice of IS rate. first class. be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul, to go into
effect Monday. This rate is 50 below
that of the Milwaukee & st. Paul. The
burlington system continued the war
with vigor. It announced a S. rate
from st. Louis to Denver. which is
lower rate than any other road has yet
made. That road also gave notice OF
81 rate from st. Louis to Minneapolis
and st. Paul. The Missouri rates were
further cut into by the Atchison, To-
peka 4 Santa Fe. That road announced
81 rate from Kansas City, Leaven-
worth, Atchison ana ST. Joe to Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Denver, making
this the basis of rate to all local points

of $3.50. The Illinois Central has an
