Flatly Contradicted by Powderly-The
Plate Printers.

Flatly Contradicted by Powderly-The
Plate Printers.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-General Master
Workman Powderly, of the knights of
Labor, tonight made public lengthy
statement regarding the controversy over
the employment of plate printers. He be-
gins with the assertion that the statements
credited to Secretary Foster are entirely and
unqualifiedly false. The seer etary has
stated that the matter was not subject of
discussion at Mansfield between Senator
Sherman, Major Mckinley and himself
Powderly asserts that the matter was dis
cussed at Mansfield, settlement advised.
and Powderly holds the proof over MoKin-
ley's signature. On June 30 Secretary Fos-
ter concluded an agreement with
restore the discharged men and even
went SO far as to write letter to one of
them, embodying the agreement. That
letter Powderly says he holds. According
to Develin's memoranda the terms were
"that the seven men dropped from the rolls
in the plate printing department shall be
restored to their former places or places of
equal Importance and pay, and shall be
treated with the same fairness and consid-
GRAFTON as other plate printers by the chief
and assistants in the bureau; that four of
them shall be restored within ten days and

just as the Knights were congratulating
themselves upon the happy termination of
the trouble, committee of plate printers
was called in by Meredith. The card which
proceeded them said, "a delegation from
the Gompers Federation of Labor desires
to be heard before an agreement is arrived
at with the knights of Labor"
"These men," says Powderly, "had been
drilled by Meredith MS to speech and con-
duct while celebrating with the secretary;
but Meredith forgot to tell them
the name of the organization they
were supposed to represent and they
gave the name of an association that does
not exist" After short interview with
this committee the secretary turned to
Devlin and said, ''If there is to be fight
with this organization or yours, | don't
know but ] had better fight yours" Dev-
lin retorted that the knights could do some
fighting themselves and called Secretary
Fosters attention to tho fuot that he had
concluded an agreement, but Foster said he
would have to send for Gompers before he
could arrive at further understanding of
the case. Powderly says i'll conclusions:
The advisers of Foster have influenced
him to so act rs to give the controversy
| such coloring ns to create the impression
that it is struggle between labor organi-
zations. Such is not the case. Foster has
undoubtedly right to consult with Com
pers if he pleases, but the fact still remains
that none of the men involved belong to
any organization but the knights of La

intention to close the session about the end
of the month. Ferguson, secretary of the
foreign Office, replying to Labouchere. said
the government had no information as to
the stipulations of the triple alliance, but
had no doubt Premier Rudini had correctly
described it in the Italian parliament on

be taken to maintain. in case of need. the
status quo in the Medite ranean, that would
be matter for consideration according to
the circumstances of the time.

Sr. PAUL, July 2.-Aftor several weeks of
thorough investigation of the sensational
charges that many thousand bushels of

WASHINGTON, July 2.-[Speoial. Col. w.

on his way to New York. Mr. Sanders was
one of the earliest callers at the White
house to- day. He had long chat with
President Harrison but the topic under
discussion is not known. The colonel par
ried all attempts to interview him upon this
point. There is every reason to believe
that the Montana man reported to the pres

the Presidents chances for securing the
delegation to the next convention. Col.
Sanders pretends to believe the republican

OF the soldiers are inclined to

to be the work of secret societies. the prime
object not being to injure foreigners, but
to entangle the Chinese government in for

successful insurrection may be started.
The China News of June II says twenty
rioters were CAPTURED at Wuhu and the
viceroy has given permission to have

Favorable Crop Reports.

st. Paul. July Crop reports from Min
nesota, Dakota and Montana continue most
favorable. There has been more rain this
season than at any corresponding period for
several years. Wheat is in fine condition.
Other grains are also above the average and
the meadows and pastures are better than
tor years. The mild winter brought stock
through in good order. Owing to the in
creased acreage and fine prospects 1t is
feared the crops cannot be properly har-
vested, particularly in the Red river valley,
owing to the scarcity of hands.

Another sickening coal mine disaster
is reported this morning. Again tits an
explosion OF gas. Perhaps it is again
the carelessness Of men so accustomed
to the peril OF the mine that they rushed
recklessly on their terrible fate. Such
things happen too often.
Back OF any carelessness for which the
suddenly stricken men may have been
responsible lies the responsibility Of the
mine owners, who are supposed to un.
derstand the risks Of the employment,
to have their mines under competent
sup rvision and to avail themselves Of
all the lits-protectiug appliances that
science may devise.
A large percentage OF mine disasters
results from insufficient ventilation, for
which there is no excuse whatever.
Gwen mine filled with gas and flaming
lamps to come into contact with the gas,
an exp losion is the natural result. There
is such thing as an electric lamp for
min RS, cheap and easily carried on the
person. 1t ia strange that any mine is
now without this 81 nple contrivaucs.
Thsse NINE disasters are rarely acct.
den 8 properly so.c4lled. They can b.
prevented aud their prevention should
be made compulsory. A kind Of effort
to do this is made on paper, but there is
not a S.ats in this Union that does It's
full duty toward the men who go down
in mines 10 dig out their living.
