FOSTER REPLIES.
Several Agreements Drawn Up,
But None Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, July 8. -ISpecial] -
Secretary Foster said this a. M, in an
swer to Mr.. Powderly, that letter was
In existence written by him Offering the
knights OF Labor their old places in the
bureau of engraving and printing. 1t
was true the letter was not delivered to
the knights of Labor, but the letter was
taken from his desk in the Treasury
Department while the representatives Of
the Knights of Labor were there.
The circumstances attending the
writing of tho agreement as given by
secretary Foster arc as follows: "Sev-
eral agreements wero drawn up by me
and read TO Messrs. Devlin and Caya-
naugh. Noue suited them and the sew
eral agreements were upon nv desk
when the delegation of the Federation
Of Labor arrived. They entered pro-
test against putting the discharged
knights of Labor men ahead of mon on
the chance list and of fifteen appren-
ticcs who by the rules OF the bureau
were entitled to presses.
Tho new addition to tho bureau has
made room for fifty new presses. For
the first time | learned that the an.
=. ''StNN' u0Nc llbtCU presses.
This left thirtyfvc. had agreed to
put six of the seven discharged men of
tho knights OF Labor at these thirty
i've presses, when tho federation mon
SAID there were moro than thirty. vc
men ION the chance roll entitled to the
presses. All this time several discarded
agreements laid upon my table, which
when the delegation Of labor left one of
the signed agreements disappeared.
That agreement used tho words re-cm
ployment, not in their old places, but
on the new presses.
In regard to the letter to Jordan, a
discharged printer who has since be.
come saloon keeper, the Knights of
Labor got letter from me with the
distinct understanding that he would
decline the proffered place. This was
done to tickle Jordan, and to remove
him from the controversy.

me and the sight that met my gaze
will never forget. The three rear
coaches, including the one was in, were

flames shot up from two of them like
huge bonfires.
The air was filed with means and
shrieks of the imprisoned passengers,

for the people in the rear coach. When

called to them by some one remarking
that there was q party of fifty-three
men in tho rear car. When the freight
crashed into us it crushed this car into
q thousand pieces and the flames broke

the passengers in that car escaped, if
they did, is mystery. l saw them
take some eighteen or twenty bodies
from the wreck, but do not think that
that is half Of those who will be found

the rear coach was killed.
The sight of the corpscs as they were
taken from under the debris was sick

were found, and in this way it was i'm
possible to tell how many were killed.
Every piece that was taken out was
burned to crisp so that identification
was impossible. When left the scene,
