his dinner.-Detroit Free Press.

today that the insurgent cruiser Almirante
Tamandare was worsted today in an en-
gagement with the government forts at

the beating off of the warship. which was
seriously damaged. The craftsmanship of
the government gunners showed consider

OPPOSED TO A BOND ISSUE.

n. of l.. FnvOrs Grecnbncks Instead.
Prior to the general master workman 5
departure from Philadelphia last Tuesday
he prepared an address to the rank and
file of the order denouncing Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle's request to Congress
to grant him authority to issue two hun
dred millions in interest bearing bonds.
The following are extracts from the docu-
ment, which is long one:
THE issuing of bonds is an outrage upon
a liberty-loving people
Bonds and slavery are synonymous
terms
Recent authentic statistics prove that a
sum of money equal to the entire circulat-
ing medium of this nation must pass from
the hands of the people of this nation in to
the Golfers of the interest-takers at least
once every six months and that means
that on an average of once every six
months the people must reborrow the
money from the interest-takers with new
securities-thus the compound power grows
with graduating power and, If not checked
Will absorb all wealth and leave labor in
AFFECT servitude.'
Instead of an issue of bonds Sovereign
advocates the issue of full legal-tender nom
interest-bearing money. He then calls upon
the workingmen of the country to petition
Congress not to grant the Secretary of the
Treasury authority to make the proposed
issue of bonds. Every man." he continues,
connected with the disreputable transac-
ton should have his name branded with
eternal infamy."
He is, he says, in receipt of letters from
the agricultural districts of the west and
the cotton regions of the south, declaring
that the issuing of interest bearing bonds
by the national government will be con-
sidered sufficient provocation to justify a
call to arms. At the first attempt of Con-
gress to grant the authority asked by the
Secretary of the Treasury the knights from
Maine to California. he says, should hold
! indignation meetings and send uuequivocal
protests to their respective members in
, Congress.
Millions of our people are in beggarv and
starvation because labor has been robbed
year after year by merciless money power
that has grown naughty and despotic on
the bonds of the people.
1t is the duty of labor throughout the
length and breadth of the land to put its
foot down so hard on the present scheme
to increase the national debt that the very
Capitol at Washington will tremble with
the thunders of its righteous protestations.
Let us be dupes and fools no longer. Let
us meet the S2tn0JO,0oo bond proposition
with the power and Fellowship of our en-
tire organization and stay in the fight until
we force relaxation in the power of
money to rob the Industrial masses.

CHICAGO PLUNDERED,
Sensational Charges Made by Ex-Con-
trOller Wetherell.

trOller Wetherell.
A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Chicago says: The story has
been current about the city hall for months
that the city was being looted for political
purposes and it had been systema tically
robbed of large sums by means of stuffed
pay rolls. Indignant over reflections upon
his management of the controllers office
contained in the reports submitted by Ex-
pert kingwili to Mayor Swift, ex-Controiier
Wetherell talked freely today of the way
in which the city has been plundered.
THE taxpayers have been robbed in
wholesale manner" he declared. Il called
Mayor Harrison's attention to many sus-
picious things in connection with street de-
partment pay rolls, but / could never get
HIM to look into the matter. 1 had
great many affdavits in my possession
proving corruption and l was conscious Of
terrible amount of crookedness. L was
informed once that certain ward from
which street pay roll came in with nearly
400 names less than twenty men were actu-
ally at work The rest We're dummies.
did not learn of this case until long after
the steal was perpetrated, or would have
stopped it, of course. although l had no
authority to go behind pay rolls that had
been properly approved.
Il have no means of knowing how much
the city was robbed of through the agency
or stunned pay rolls. The amount might
easily have run up into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The opportunity for steal
ing was and is practically without limit.
For all l know and for all the city treas
urer knows half of the tens of thousands
of names on the pay rolls during the last
year may have been bogus. The method Of
making up the pay rolls and paying them
invited dishonesty and / am not surprised
that it practced. Only few days ago
a man hunted me up to say that his son
had been drawing pay from the city for
year without doing anything to entitle him
to the money, and that he had turned the
money over to a third party. 1t would be
easy to have a thousand bogus names on
the pay rolls, and even more in busy sea-
/ sons.
That's where some of the money we're
short of went l tried to stop the leak, but
was powerless. My protests were unavail-
ing. The city has been run at high pressure
long time and it was inevitable that 1t
should run behind"

SUBURB AN NEWS.
ALEXANDRIA.

The issue of a temporary restraining or
der to prevent the Alexandria Water Com.
pany from opening hydrants in West End
has already been reported to The Star. The
legal question involved. which is one of con-
siderable Importance, will be heard by Judge
Norton in short time, when Mr.. j. NJ
Johnson will urge that the Injunction be
made permanent and Col +. l.. Smith will
move to discharge the restraining order
The question at issue grows out of this
state OF facts: Some forty years ago Benz
Hallowel and others were about to organ
lie a water company, prospected all the
sources of water in this neighborhood, and
found none available except Cameron Run
but Mr.. Reuben Roberts of Cameron Mills
owned the mill right of that stream near
Alexandria, and the water company, whose
charter prescribes that they should supply
the city of Alexandria with water. bought
out so much OF MIR. Roberts right to the
water would serve the purpose of SUD-
plying the water works, with the reserva-
ton that he should be free 10 use all the
surplus water for his mill. Until now the
supply has been confined TO the city, but
lately, as stated in The, Star 1t has been
proposed to put hydrants in the village OF
west End, which lies between Alexandria
and the water works. and through whose
only thoroughfare the great main of the
water works passes to supply the city Mr.
Roberts contends that he owns all the wa
Ter except such that shall be needed to
supply the city, and that to supply water to
West End would be trespass on mis- rights
