The Knight Alleges That the Secretary
Has Spoken Falsely.


PHILADELPHIA, July "A statement
relative to the controversy over the re en-
ployment of the plate printers dropped
from the rolls of the bureau Of printing
and engraving at Washington has been
issued by General Master Workman Pow
derly. He says; Cup to this moment
have not said word publicly, but feel
that the statements charged TO the seere-
tary OF the treasury merit some recogni-
tion and denial since they are entirely and
unqualifedly false He has stated, 40 1t
Is alleged, and he has not denied IL, that
the plate printers trouble was not the
subject OF discussion at the meeting held
at Mansfield between Senator Sherman,
Major Mckinley and himself.
"That matter was discussed at Mans
field, a settlement advised, and hold the
proofs over the signature of Major MclAin-
ley himself.
"On his return to Washington the secre
tary wired the general worthy foreman OF
this organization, Mr.. Cavanagh, TO come
to Washington that the matter could be
settled. The general worthy foreman com
| piled with the request. and on June -
Messrs. Devlin and Cavanagh called at ths
| treasury department, saw Mr.. Foster, anc

Foster and Mr. Meredith 1t was stateS

any man in the department
Mr.. Powderly says that the whole mat

after a short interview with this com

GENERAL GRAHAM DISMISSED.
Governor Buikeley Has Relieved Him
s'for the Benefit of the Service"

Governor Bulkeley Has Relieved Him
''for the Benefit OF the Service"
HARTFoRD, July 3-Something Of a
sensation has been created in military
circles by an order issued by Governor
Bulkeley directing the dismissal Of Briga-
dier General Graham, of the militia, from
the military service Of the state for the
benefit OF the service. The words "for the
benefit of the service" are seldom used,
and only in cases where the person whose
services are being dispensed with has been
guilty OF some grave offense, such as dis
honesty or drunkenness, hence the sensa-
tion. General Graham was relieved from
the command Of the militia about a year
ago by Governor Bulkeley, who at that
time gave him an honorable discharge.
The senate reinstated him and removed
Colonel Thomas L. Watson, who was ap-
pointed his successor. The latter Is again
appointed to the position of brigadier gen
eral by Governor Bulkeley. This makes a
direct issue between the governor and the
senate as to their respective authorities.

HIGHLAND, N. ", July S-This Hudson

the recent outcome Of family trouble in
which well known New York lawyer is
intimately concerned. The legal gentle
man In question Is Ira Shafer, who has
practiced successfully at the bar in the
metropolis for many years. The incident
is one in which Mr.. Shafer is quite gen
orally credited with having been horse
whipped by two or three ladies, one OF
whom is his sister-in-law, Mrs Charles
Dewey.
The episode that has stirred the neigh
borhood here is one in which not only Mrs.
Dewey and Mr.. Shafer figured, but also
the latter's wlfe and two or three of his
fair daughters. They all took a hand
against him it is said. The cause Of the
trouble was Shafer's refusal to pay certain

Give the Statement to the Committee.
PHILADELPHIA, July s.-The Public Led
ger says editorially today: "As consider
able interest has been manifested In
statement by John Bardsley, enormously
described as a confession suppressed by
the Public Ledger, w. A. Mexican, the
editor-in-chief Of this paper has written
letter to the editor Of The Enquirer. For
public information we reproduce a copy OF
the letter in these columns, at the same
time expressing the belief that the matter
has been made to assume a prominence
altogether out OF proportion to its impor-
tance. II will be seen that no confession
by John Bardsley was suppressed in The
Ledger office; that statement by him
was received at this Office; that it was
promptly examined and that the editor
declined to publish it for precisely the
same reasons that would have ruled II out

mittee of councils to track out all the ram

committee or the courts all the partici-
pants.

thunderstorm he was driving in a cab to
his agents, when lie saw a ''cOolie"
(pOrter) drop down in the street. He got
out Of the cab at once and went TO the
man, bat he was dead. There wa Il
burned patch in his waistcloth, on the
right side, and some blackened copper
"pice" lay OF the ground. The man had
just received them for carrying a load,
and, as the clothes Of the poorer natives
Of India and Burmah have no pockets,
he had twisted them into his waistcloth,
and this money must have attracted the
lightning. But the most curious part Of
it was that the queens head on one Of
the coins Was clearly impressed on his
side. and even the words Queen Vic
