PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.--The official
mail of the Knights of Labor has been
tremendously increased as result of
the following circular which has been
sent to every section of the country,
over the signature of John w. Hayes,
the general secretary-treasurer: "The
district assembly, In cities and towns
where such exist, and local assemblies,
where no districts are organized, are
requested TO make lists of saloon<eep-
ers and others who sell beer manufac-
tured by the AnheuserBusch Brewing
association, of st. Louis, and the w. j.
Lemp Brewing company. of the same
place, also of dealers who display the
advertisements of these firms, and for
ward these lists to this office" 1t is
understood that this order is prepara-
tory to an official boycott on the firms
in question.
An emphatic denial is given Mt the
headquarters of the Knights to the
statement that the recent visit of A.
w. Wright to the south was with a
view of smoothing over trouble of the
order created In that region by the
color line. Says Secretary Hayes,
There is no color line in the Knights

Holding I'm "A Train.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 4.-The Over
Ssae express which left here yesterday
afternoon was held up by two masked
men four and a half miles south of
Modesto at o'clock last evening. The
engineer, in his report to Superintend-
ent Fillmore, says that at Ceres two
masked men crawled over the tender
into the engine cab and covering him
self and fireman with guns ordered him
TO pull out as fast as possible. The en-
gineer obeyed, and after going a short
distance halted his train at the COM
mand of the robbers. The engineer
and fireman were then made to
take coal picks and go back to the
express car, which they were ordered
to break open. The express messenger
and Detective Lon Harris, who was on
the train, resisted. After firing num-
Der of shots, and exploding bomb
under the car without avail, the rob-
bers ordered the engineer and fireman
to walk up the road. The bandits then
disappeared in the darkness. The en-
gineer thinks they had horses waiting
for them. Detective Harris was badly
wounded by shot from one of the rob-
bers, and after an hours delay the
train hastened on to Merced. Sheriff
Cunningham and posse from Merced
left on a special train for the scene of
the attempted robbery, and are now in
pursuit. Superintendent Fillmore says
they are probably members of the same
gang that held up the train near Goshen
u wear ago.

New York, Sept, 4.--Physicians Of
this city chuckled over the Berlin dis
patch printed yesterday stating that
an eminent physician had discovered
that an injection of water under the
skin acted as local an@sthetic similar
to cocoane. That is majority of
them did. Others were inclined TO be
angry. DIR. Bull simply said 1t was
nonsense to talk about 1t. He would
not waste time. "Why its as old as
the hills" said DR.. James f.
Kelly, 1T is really aqua med
ical practice. Hypodermic injec
tion of water to deaden sensi.
bility, but don't think they have much
value as anasthetic. 1t is supposed that
water disturbs the nutrition Of nerves
and deadens their susceptibility to
pain. Water injections are frequently
used to lessen neuralgia pains, pains IN
stomach or bladder But as local
anaesthetic for surgical operations it is
not worthy of consideration" Tho
doctor read the cable message again.
He remarked that the words seemed
familiar; then he picked up book
which had something to say about
aqua puncture. The wording in the
books and in the dispatch was almost
exactly the same; the description in
the dispatch had been copied almost
word for word. There's also acu
puncture" continued Doctor Kelly,
(which is often employed, and which
sometimes works wonders. its merely
sticking u pin into the patient.

Gently consummated Entene between
Russia and France, followed as il
promptly has been by the haunting
Dardanelles incident, and the maneu-

which make it more than doubtful
whether oracular utterances can longer
proceed from any German, Austrian or

rather than the triple alliance, is, in
their opinion, the arbiter of war or

A Nuptiai Surprise.

MINIATURES, Wis, Sept. 5.-A special
to the Journal says: "The authorized
announcement of marriage of Miss
Gertrude Potter, of Chicago, to 4. Lee
Rust, son Of wealthy Eau Claire lum-
herman, has just been made here.
The pair were married on
the quiet at Geneva Lake,
June 6 and soon after left for Europe,
where they are now. ""he parents Of
the contracting parties are yet ignor-
ant of their union and had planned to
formally celebrate the rites this fall.
Miss Potter has gained no little notori'

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 4.-The an
nouncement from Rome that Rev. DIR.
Ignatius +. Horstmann, of this city,
will probably be the successor of the
late Bishop Gilmour. of Cleveland,
creates considerable surprise in Cath.
Ollie circles, as it has not been known
that his name was included in the list
of three eligible priests that, in nc.
cordance with the laws of the church,
had been forwarded to the vatican by
the ecclesiastics of that diocese. 1t is
admitted, however. that the selection
is an admirable one. Dr. Horstmann is
chancellor of the archdiocese of Phil
adelphia. lie is a man of fine pres
ence, silver tongued orator, mag
niticent musician, a profound theo-
logian, and is said to have no equal in
the entire country as an authority on
church law. His knowledge and judg-
ment are repeatedly called into requisi-
tion by ecclesiastics of other dioceses
for opinions that will tend to settle
disputed questions He is a native of
this city, not yet so years of age, and
has been rector of st. Mary's church
for twenty years.

Foreign Authors and Publishers In No
Hurry to Try Its Provisions.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 4.-Down
to date eight of the weekly lists of en-
tries of titles of books and other arti-
cles required by the new copyright law
have been furnished to the secretary of
the treasury by the librarian of con-
gress, and seven of them have been
printed and sent to collectors of
customs, postmasters of all post
offices receiving foreign mails and
individual subscribers. The lists SO far
do not indicate strong disposition on
the part Of foreign authors to avail
themselves of the law under their own
names. Lord Randolph Churchill has
entered titles of one work for copy
right, and he appears to be the only
English author who has done so.
Works OF a number of foreign authors, +,
however, has been entered by publish
ers who are proprietors OF the same. A
number of musical compositions have
also been entered by English publish

The British Must Make Good n Loss.

New YORK, Sept. 4.--There is
strong possibility that the British gov
ernment will be called upon to make
good the damage done to portion of
the valuable cargo of the steamship
Eldorado, of the Morgan line, which
met with disaster recently in the
Bahamas by wrcckers of the Bahama
islands These wreokers, who are lit
tie better than pirates, swarmed over
the Eldorado as she lay helpless on one
of the Bahama shoals, tried
to haul down the American flag
which few at her masthead, and were
with difficulty restrained from taking
forcible possession of her. The only
means of saving shit. and cargo from
them was to give them permission to
break out a portion of the cargo and
load it on their schooner. After they
had removed good deal of merchan-
disc they refused to deliver it on board
the steamship New York, or at the
port of Bimini. and Captain Byrne, of
the Eldorado, was obliged TO
take their word that they would land
it at Nassau. The character of the
wreckers is a pretty safe guarantee
that much of the cargo which perforce
was tntrusted to their care will not be
accounted for. At this time of year
communication between Nassau and
this port is necessarily slow, and the
Southern Pacific company, which ope-
rates the Morgan line, is unable to de-
termine as yet what loss it has
sustained at the wreckers' han dis.
Charles II. Tweed, the company's coun-
sci, said to the Times yesterday that
he had employed counsel in Nassau to
look after the company's interests, but
he had not received advices from him
as yet relating to the matter The
wreckers claim protection Of the Brit
ish flag and it is asserted by many that
the British government ought to be
responsible for their treatment of the
crews and vessels of other countries
that meet with misfortune in Bahaman
waters

SAN francisco, Cal, Sept 40. IL

Simons 81 have witnessed no out
break against European or American

practically impossible and although
the population of Hong Kong is largely
Chinese, the latter are very tractible in
our city. The natives are undoubtedly
restless, however, and there may DO
trouble any time. The society of Koa

quietude, is manipulated by shrewd
and well educated men who know how
to incite the coolie element to deeds OF

objects, although not positively
known, are believed to be the destruc-

was set on fire. The family was
