Fighting Chinese Competition.

The tailors had another meeting last night
and reviewed the situation in relation to the
formation of another union among the sec
ond-class journeymen. They proposed to
give their unorganized brethren all the as
sistance they can until good solid union is
formed and they will be able to sustain
themselves. The new union will probably
be designated as No. 9. There will be no
conflict whatever between them, because
the quality of their work is entirely differ
ent. The main idea in view is TO keep out
the Chinese competition. A report was
heard from the committee having in charge
the recent picnic, and it was found that the
net proceeds were about $500.

DIED ON THE OCEAN.
General John Knapp Of New YORK Be-
comes q Victim OF Paralysis


NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-The French
steamship La Champagne, which arrived
Saturday from Havre, brought the bodies
Of General Joseph II. Knapp, late presi-
dent Of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company, and Of Major J. M. Bundy, late
editor of The Mail and Express.
Until the arrival OF La Champagne at
quarantine. no one knew that General
Knapp was dead, as he succumbed Of par
alysis on the lith inst. while at sea. He
left New York four months ago, by the
advice Of his phystcians, TO travel in Eu-
rope In search OF health. The last stop
ping place of the party was tho Continen-
tai hotel In Paris. Here General Knapp's
condition became so bad that an immedi-
ate departure for home was decided upon.
A cablegram announcing the condition Of
General Knapp had been sent so bis
friends in this country, and although the
dispatch stated that the generals condi-
ton was not considered serious, as a pre-
cautionary measure, instructions were
given to an undertaken that IL General
Knapp should die during the voyage. his
body was TO he called for Immediately
upon the arrival Of the ship. -
Saturday, when the ship was reported,
a party of friends of General Knapp went
down the bay TO meet him. They were
greatly shocked on reaching the steamship
TO learn that General Knapp had died sud
denly on Monday. Joseph p. Knapp. Mrs.
General Knapp, Edward c. Wallace and
Mrs. Wallace were with General Knapp
when he died. While death was not uneX-
pected no one looked for such q sudden
ending Of the life of one Of the most ac'
tive business men In New York.

The LAST HONORS.
Tenderly Laid to Rest BY His
Comrades.
YOUNG SOLDIERS FUNERAL.
FlOwer.Bedecked Casket Draped
In the American Flag.

One Of the most imposing, beautiful ant
touching ceremonies that has occurred IL
this city for some time was witnessed yes
terdsy afternoon. 1t was the burial OF
George II. Ryan, member of the Emme
Cadets of Providence.
The young man had lived In Providence
nearly all his life and came to Valley Falli
only a short time sgo where he was EN-
ployed in the rolling mill.
Last week the dread disease, pneumonia
fastened its clutches upon him so strangely
that he succumbed Friday.
The funeral took place at 2 O'Clock from
his parents home on Elm street. Before
it was time for the cortege to start, si1
companies of Cadets had arrived and were
drawn up in line. They were as follows
Emmett Cadets, Providence, "a men, two
lieutenants, Captain O'Brien in command
Central Falls Cadets, "a men, two leuten'
ants, Captain Devine in command; St
Josephs Cadets, Providence, "a men, two
lieutenants, Captain O'Brien in command
st. Nicholas Cadets, South Providence, "a
men, two lieutenants, Captain Kelley il
command; Olneyville Cadets, "a men, two
lieutenants, in command Of First Lieuten
ant Kenney.
There were about seventy-fve associate
members of the Emmet Cadets in line
wearing white gloves and badges. -Four
black draped horses were attached to the
plumed bearse. The companies were
drawn up on either side, with arms pre-.
sented, forming a passageway through
which the remsins, o. ci'ed in q handsome
black casket and drsp,d with an American
Gag, was carried or the shoulders Of his
comrades.
Hedley's National band of Providence
lead the cortege, which first went to St
Patrick's church where services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Father Coffey.
The procession was then reformed ant
with muskets reverted, proceeded to St
Mary's cemetery on George street where
the bcdy was placed in the tomb.
A detachment from the Emmets fired
three sslutes over the cssket, and then
almost hiddeo in fowers, it was carried
into the vault.
The bearers were Larry o 'Brien, Charles
Durigan, William Mcmahon, Thomas Nc
Davey, Thomas Henry and Frank Gren.

The woodbines Greatly Pleased with TheiI
Reception In Newport
The members OF the Woodbine base bal
club Of Pleasant View are loud in theii
praises of the hospitality of the Newport
men, on Saturday last, and especially OF
William 2. Sullivan Of that city, who ex
tended TO them the freedom Of his house
and spared ueither expense or trouble tc
make their trip pleasant one.
The Pleasant View men did not carry OF
the honor of winning the game, but they
did get an impression Of the hospitality and
fairness of the Newport team and it
friends, that is az creditable, as the hare
fought aud well earned victory of ten in
nings which the Newporters won.
Should the Newporters come to Paw
tucket, either for a social vis!t or con
test, they will surely meet with reception
as pleasant as the Woodbines good-sHet
bank account, and Pawtucket welcome
can make it.

THEY'RE AT 1T YET
Republican Triangular Fight
Goes On.
HASKELL FOR ALDERMAN.
What Mr.. Carroll Says About His
Own Candidacy.

The triangular fight among the Republi'
cans for the empty honor OF the mayoralty
nomination goes on between Tiepke, White
and Saunders, although the hrst-named
young man is not feeling as confident as
he did some time ago and is hedging back
into the aldermsnic race.
But it is doubtful il he ever gets that,
now that he has made an enemy OF all hi;
former friends in the arst ward. Fred
Taylor has an eye on Tips chair.
The Telephone man, in the SUNDAY TRI
nuSE, caused lots of mirth in political cir
cles.
Alderman White is so sure of the nomi'
nation that he is away above the aldermaniC
circle entirely. and is going to give his seat
to Henry Haskell. But perhaps Ben Davis
and His Honor may have word to say
about that.
Alderman Saunders isn't saying much
but many believe that he is saving wood.
On the Democratic side but little il
heard. However, Mr.. Carroll, after being
overwhelmed with reporters, has given ou,
the following
II shall consent to be q candidate IL the
voters of the party in their caucuses elect
delegates who want me to accept. am
not seeking the nomination. I want the
party to win, and II the people think | car
be elected | am willing to try and win. II
they think otherwise will support whoever
is nominated. The election Of Col. Honey
at Newport showed the party there to be
united. When others refused to be candi-
dates for fear of defeat he risked the
humiliation and won. The Democrats
there saw the need Of unity because of the
issues involved and because Of the necessity
of uniting their whole strength for next
years contest. I believe that the same
spirit should animate sll Democrats here
and in Providence and in Woonsocket
There is no uso of Disgusting the fact
which i, as we'll appreciated by Republican
high tariff leaders as by Democratic tsrih
refomers in this state, that our fall elec.
tons will have great influence on our
spring elections. One might as well speak
plainly. This state is for Cleveland, and
we want TO give him our electoral vote.
If We win this fall and next year we elect a
United States senator and give Cleveland
four votes. I'm willing to run if tn. voters
think | can win. And IL they don't think
90, / will take OF my coat and help whom
sotver they nominate.

ties In congress than the other tWo parties
combined
When President Santa Maria took up
Balmaceda ia 1883 and made him the ma
tional minister of foreign affairs, he
greatly strengthened his administration
and gratifed the nation. The next year
the popular minister became his party's
candidate for president and was elected
by an overwhelming majority. In the
first three years Of his administration bar
mony prevailed throughout the country,
aud the progress of Chilli was greater than
any like time In her history. She devel-
oped In material and social welfare. Rail-
roads were built and projected In oil di.
rectlops HSrbors, dry docks and piers
were improved. Schoolhouses were erected
where they had not been known before.
An admirable system of normal schools
was established. The laws were amended
In the direction Of greater liberality and
freedom. Church and state underwent a
more complete separation than oyer he
fore.
In Chilli presidents are Ineligible for re-
election. AS the last year Of Balmaceda's
term began a gradual change came over
his demeanor His old friends and coun.
selors he treated with growing GOODNESS.
New men who had no name in public mat
ters received his favor. He retired from
participation in public affairs, except
through Sanfuerte's agency. II is hardly
possible TO doubt that Balmaceda had de-
termined, instead Of retiring TO private life
like his predecessors had done when their
terms had expired. TO make himself mas.

Annual Excursion OF the sarsAeid Assoois
tion Big Success.
The annual excursion ,f the Sarsfeld
Association has come and gone and nsughi
remains but pleasant memories Of one OF
the most delightful trips made on the
Steamer Planet this year.
A few minutes after 10 o'clock the
steamer. under the command Of Captain
Daggett, swung out from her dock and the
$50 passengers on board at once proceeded
to make thingssgreeable and merry. The
singing of Irish National airs was heard on
all sides and everybody gave themselves ur
to mirth and enjoyment,
A landing was made at Providence and
about rs more were added to those vn
board, making considerable over 400 who
participated.
The sail down the bay was delightful,
the extreme warmth of the sun being nicely
tempered by the breezes of the bay. The
green flag of the association announced to
all passing craft that it was the excursion
of that body and they were saluted by
many of the boats on the river.
Newport was reached at 30 o'clock and
the entire number Of excursionists were in.
vited to the hall of the Robert Emmett
association by q delegation Of that associa-
ton, with Councilman p. j. Boyle at their
head.
Refreshments we're served in abundance
and then an informal meeting was called
to order by Councilman Boyle as chairman
of the reception committee, who in short
but eloquent speech welcomed the Sarsfield
association and their friends to Newport
and to the hospitality of the Robert Emmett
association. lie concluded by inviting ex'
Mayor Carroll to address the meeting.
Mr.. Carroll as he proceeded to the plat
form was rspturously greeted with applause
and humorously alluded to the fact tina,
every time he came to Newport he was
bothered by the necessity Of making
speeches, even when he only came down to
an ordinary May session. He then made
an eloquent address on the present phases
of the national movement.
Short addresses were also made by ex-
License Commissioner Keenan,, Councilman
O'Brien, Joseph Mullen and Alderman
O'Reilly and q recitation was delivered by
Charles T.. Sexton. There was also sing.
ing by Messr.. Robert ]. Casey Of this city
and Hugh Devlin Of Lonsdale.
At 8 80 all went aboard the Planet and
steamed over to Fort Adams to view that
stronghold Of Uncle Sam. They were
taken in charge by number of the officials
and conducted in group, through the vari.
GUS labyrinths of the fort to the great
delight Of tho excursionists. An hour was
very profitsbly spent there and then the
steamer headed for Newport to allow the
reception committee to disembArk and take
on board those who remained in the city.
Shortly after O'Clock the steamer pointed
her PROV toward this city and after a de-
hghtful sail arrived at her dock at
o'clock.
The committee in charge were Martin T..
Moriarty, chairman; Thomas O'Brien, sec
retary and treasurer; Michael McAloon,
