THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
General Master Workman Sovereign
on the Canadian Secession.

General Master Workman Sovereign
on the Canadian Secession.
The executive board of the knights of
Labor, which has been in session continu-
ously since the adjournment of the general
assembly, at noon today had their business
so well in hand that several of the members
said, In talking with a Star reporter, that
they expect to adjourn sine die before night.
General Master Workman Sovereign, who
presided at the meeting, was shown by
Star reporter. a copy of dispatch from
Toronto, stating that the Canadian Knights
of Labor had determined to secede from the
international body of the Knights of Labor,
and form a purely Canadian order. Mr..
Sovereign said: 1.-The district assemblies in
canada have received permission from the
General Assembly of the order to form a
provincial assembly, and this will probably
be carried into effect, but this will not be
secession, nor is it at all likely that seces-
sion will occur
THE provincial assembly, If organized,
will correspond in powers etc, to those of
state assembly in the United States"
MIR. Thomas b. Mcclure, a member of the
executive board, who was present, said: Il
notice from the dispatch that d. A. Carey,
whose home is in St. CatharineS, is spoken
of as likely to be made the general master
workman of the new order. Mr.. Carey has
not been member of the Knights of Labor
Tor several years, and can, of course, hold
10 position in the order"
Messrs. Kenny and French, who are also
members of the executive board, said that
dispatch similar to the one shown them
by the reporter is sent out once a year
from some Canadian city, but that is the
last that is heard concerning the alleged
new organization until another twelve
months roll around
The Indications are that General Master
Workman Sovereign will have large audi
ence tonight at MetZerott Hall to hear his
lecture for the benefit of the locked-out
drivers of the Anacostia Railway Company.
AriOn Singing Society Concert.
The opening concert and ball of the
Arion Singing Society will take place Mon
day evening next at Masonic Temple, cor
ner 9th and F streets northwest: The So
ciety will be assisted by the Columbia
Either Club, and an unusually elaborate
program has been prepared for the occa-
sion. These events of the Arions in the
past have always been enjoyable affairs,
and it is expected that the coming enter
tainment will in no wise fall behind its pre-
decessors in that line. At the conclusion of
the program the floor will be cleared for
dancing. Linden'S Orchestra will open the
concert with two overtures and will play
for the ball. A number of musicians prom
inent in German life in this city will rem
der selections, while the chorus of the So
ciety, which has been augmented and
strengthened in every part, will be heard
to advantage,

Anxiety Renewed as to the Ap-
pOintment of the Water
Superintendent.
REMAINS AN UNCERTAINTY
MAY BE MADE WITHIN A FEW WEEKS
AND PERHAPS NOT UNTIL NEXT
81. SPRING.
Some COuneilmen Prefer Deferring
Action Until the Connections Are
Made and the Plant is
Ready for Operation.

The agitation of the testing of the pipes
laid for the public water works has
stirred up the people on the question of
the appointment of the superintendent of
public water works again, butsthere need
be no uneasiness on that score fora while.
A careful survey of the field leads to the
conclusion that the appointment is'one Of
the most remote matters in the minds Of
a majority of the Councilmen at Nhe
present time and guesses by some of them
as to when it will be made vary
on time from the comiug summer to
next spring. 1t seems to be the senti.
ment of the Council, or at least
most of its members, that it will be tin e
to appoint the superintendent after all
the pipe lines are tested and connections
are made, although some incline to the
belief that it would be we'll to have the
superintendent on duty when the property
owners make connection with the mains
so that he can give his entire time to it
and see that the connections are made in
accordance with the ordinance. Others
believe that this work should be super
vised by the water committee and that
the works can get along without q
superintendent until the water is
at the peoples doors. A decision
on this point will depend on whether the
committee men can devote suffi 3ient time
to make up in work what a delay in the
appointment of the superintendent would
save in salary. Talk has been revived on
. L., ,f ~ ~, hot he
cost of making connections with the
mains shall be sustained by the property
owners. 1t is claimed that this action is
in direct violation of promises made to
the people and that it was promise that
the borough would have the con
nections made that induced many
people to favor the second increase
of the Indebtedness. 1t is claimed
further that to leave the connections to
the option of the property owners will
cause an irregularity of work that will
keepthe,streets and pavements open for an
indefinite period, whereas If the borough
made the connections the work could bt
done by streets and completed without
making repeated openings. But one
thing is certain, and that is this thu
borough is not in financial condition t.
make the connections at it's own expense
Indeed it will be fortupatei if the Borough
Council pulls through this year with tn
expense of conducting the works. 1t will
take no small amount of financiering and
perhaps, considerable docking here ant
there to accomplish this. Meanwhile
candidates for the Office of superintendent
of water works and their friends shoul'
take the course of events with composure
holding themselves in readiness for tn
appointment this summer, and yet not be
come disappointed if the plum does no
drop until next spring.

1t is said that one of the strongest
features of Fanny Riee's new play,
Nancy" is the fact that it creates so
much hearty laughter and genuine ap-
plause, and at the same time teaches a
wholesome moral lesson. The critics say
that it t! so entirely different in construc-
tion from any other play as to be a
refreshing and delightful novelty. AT

%GS OF THE HOUR.

The Lutheran conference, Sons of
America and be Sc ball State League
meeting kept several town circles on the
move during the first part of the week,
but now everything has been dull again
and the ST., zen hot ; helps to give
the towBnal. deserte jpearance. The
contrast is great, but lere is some con.
ISOLATION in the fact that the mines started
working again this morning and the
operations will be continued tomorrow.
Speaker Walton and Hon. Harry Huhn
were to have paid our town visit today,
but we were deprived of the honor OF
their presence by change in the pro-
gram. They were to have come here to
visit the mines, especially the one in
which Mr.. HUM was interested some
years ago with Hon. M. P. Fowler. Both
gentlemen would have been cordially
greeted and it is regretted they did not
come.
1t would require the services of an
extra clerk to record all the complaints
that are made to the HERALD about
vicious dogs running at large in spite Of
the orders issued by the Borough Coun
Gil. Nothing can be done so long as the
officials persist in ignoring orders and
the superior authorities fail to call these
officials to account. People outside of the
Borough Council have been telling the
High Constable what they think is his
duty, and what is not, and he, very good
naturally, has given way tC their views,
1t is about time that something be
done to ascertain whether orders
from Council can be supplanted by views
of those who are not in authority. The
orders of Council are that the High Con
stable shall prevent animals from roam
ing at large and enforce the ordinance re
quiring the muzzling of dogs. No atten-
tion has been paid to either direction. 1t
is hoped the High Constable will see the
wisdom of abiding by the ordinances
and wishes of Council and cause an abate
ment in the daily complaints. Yesterday
motor man was obliged to stop his car
and drive four pigs from the track on
Main street.
Hair coloring may be purchased by the
quart at any drug store, and that's why a
Psyche knot which protruded from be
meath bonnet ON Main street yesterday
caused surprise. The pyramid was of an
old gold tint, but the hair upon which it
was built was black, slightly silvered. AS
none of the silver threads mingled with
the gold, the inference is that the wearer
hung her store hair on the back of chair
and bleached it, but forgot to dye that
which clung to her scalp. Such forget
fulness as this on the part of an up-to.
date woman is inexcusable, Perhaps it
was all done on purpose in order TO at
tract attention.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

Work at the government revetment on
the Willamette above Corvallis has been
stopped, 6wlng to high water. Captain
Hatch, who has been in charge of the work,
stated yesterday that the snag boat Corval-
lis would leave for up the river for the pur.
pose OF removing some obstructions to navi-
CATION. By the time this was completed he
expected the water would have fallen suffi-
GENTLY to allow them to resume work,
which will take about ten days longer to
finish. The original appropriations for the
improvement of the river here was secured
last spring through the efforts of Repressn-
tative Hermann, and amounted to $S, 900.
1t is the intention of the engineers in charge
to retain small portion of this sum to be
used for repairs hereafter. Those familiar
with this sort OF work, state that the money
has been very judiciously expended. In all,
something like 4, 500 feet of revetment has
been completed. Materials being very
cheap at this time, Capt. Hatch has accom-
plished more work with the money expended
than ever before on any similar work in Ore.
gon.
At the point where the improvements are
being made, the river has threatened to form
new channels, incapable of navigation.
Five years ago an appropriation was made
for work at this place, and the revetment
then built consisted of piling driven on top
of the bank, with caps and sway braces
securely bolted to the niles. IT, was thouo h +
this would gather the logs and drift aud
prevent the threatened division of the river.
However. the plan failed in its purpose.
The first freshet after Its completion washed
a portion of it away. The high water of
each succeeding year has Increased the liza.
bility to the formation of new channel.
The plan adopted by Major Post, tits thought,
will be permanent. It consists of piles
driven at intervals of eight feet at the
waters edge at low water, and extending
about ten feet above bed of stream These
piles are connected by stringer bolted to
each. On the inside of this row of piling are
placed facines of willows, and of fir and will.
low, in some places as deep as twelve feet.
The facines or bundles of brush are held in
place by loads of rock. When the water
rises it will overflow the banks as heretofore
but 1t is thought that the force of the cur
rent will be confined to the old channel, O,
in other words the revetment is expected te
prevent the current from undermining ano
eventually washing away the bank of ths
river.
