test?
Tho Federation OF Labor is based uoon
the right of the working people 20 combine
for the protection of labor. The exercise
Of this right Is In conformity with the
principles Of justice and meets with our
cordial approval, but the trades unions en-
JOY no special privileges. They are not
organized to create monODOlics. Should
not private m~onopolies be abolished? Re
move tho special privileges which are di-
rectly or indirectly granted to the trusts
and by which they secure undue adj
vantage and II IS believed the evil in them
could not live. At least trusts could then
only survive like labor organizations, on
their merits.
Shall We not rely on your organization
TO cooperate with us in a united effort for
the establishment of equal rights and Tor
the overthrow Of private monopolics which,
both by the statute and common law, are

In view of the great Importance of This

acknowledgements Looking

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Little progress
was made today to organize the new Amcri-
can Association Of Base BAH Clubs on a
basis, because no one has yet
been found who is willing to take the
Philadelphia franchise without a number of
strings being attached to the money re-
quired to he nut up.
All the afternoon the magnates were en-
gagged in holding conferences with capt.
talistS or seeking other mOneyed men to
take the Philadelphia end.
Late tonight, however, the organizers nao
not succeeded in finding some one who is
willing to consider the proposition and the
negotiations are still pending, with every
that the organizers will win out.
The syndicate represented by George IL.
Rogers of this city failed to materialiZe to-
day. Mr.. Rogers reason for its non-ap-
pearanCe was that the men composing il
We're not quite ready to give a positive an
swer and after waiting for a considerable
time the organizers decided to go out ana
hunt for others to take the Quaker city
franchise.
Late in the afternoon G.. II. Stoher of
Pittsburg appeared and said he was willing
to put up $4,000 if the magnates could find
else who would also advance $4,000.
AS the .magnates could not do this Mr..
Stoher's proposition fell through. The dele
gates held no regular meeting today, every
thing being in good shape except the Phila-
delphia end. Providence Is sure to go in if
the Philadelphia middle can be fixed up,
otherwise Providence will not enter. The
Louisville delegation gave up the fight and
started for home today.

TOO SLEEPY TO FORGE NOTES
So Thought the Detectives. but Louis
KNAPP Proves to BE an Old
Offender.

Five business men upon whom, within the
last year, forged checks have been passed
by Louis Knapp will appear at central po-
lice station this morning to file complaints
against him. Knapp is now in Jail, having
been arrested Wednesday by Detectives
Heitfeld and Donahue. He has confessed to
all the charges thus far placed against him.
Knapp, alias Fisher, alias Miller, is an
old offender and to the fact of his stupid APP
pearance alone, perhaps, he owes his long
immunity from punishment. According to
the detectives description, he locks
Sleepy" He is one of the last men one
would pick for a forger. The officers have
discovered evidence of his having forged sew
eral checks for small amounts, ranging be-
tween s. and $50. usually using the name of
F.. NJ. Koran of South Omaha. Among his
victims are Herman Schafer, a saloon keeper
at Thirteenth and Harvey streets, and Jacob

THIRD BODY is PRESSLER'S
Identity Of All the Victims of the
SunoI Wreck, Near sidney, IN
Vow known.

For several months circulars and letters
Of Inquiry have been received by the news
papers and police departments of the state
asking for information as to the fate Of a
young German named Emil Pressler. who
disappeared mysteriously a little over a
year ago while en- route from New York
to San Francisco. Word comes from Sidney,
Neb.. that Pressler was one of the three
victims Of the Sunol wreck near that town,
January ., 1899. and that his body, hereto
fore unidentified, is buried in the cemetery
there. Part Of a silver watch, bearing the
name "Prcssler.' was found in the debris
of the wreck, but not until within the last
few days was it connected with the Charred
and unacceptable body of the young man.
Prcssler was on his way to Honolulu TO
take a place on a sugar plantation. His
mother and his uncle, Oscar Pfeiffer, 222
Keap street, Brooklyn, have been %tireless
in their efforts to learn something concern
ing his fate.

COSTLY SMOKER AT DAYTON
Over Three Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Worth OF
.urn.

DAYTON, o., Feb. Fire broke out in
the manufacturing district of. this city at
7;4O O'Clock this morning. The department
was called TO the tobacco warehouse Of J.,
p. Wolf on East First street. The fire
had started in the boiler room, caused by
an overheated boiler. The boiler eX-
ploded.
Chief Larkin sounded a general alarm, at
the same time calling on Springfield for
assistance.
The three-story brick building at the
corner of Foundry street was a mass of
flames, the large stock Of tobacco burning
like finder. In ten minutes the flames
had taken hold of the two-story building
adjoining, also occupied by j. p. Wolf. 1t
was believed the fire walls of the new FIVE
story building would arrest the progress
| of the fire, but the flames were too hot for
it, and soon the Hrst story Of that building
was ablaze, By this time it was seen that
nothing could stay the progress Of the flames
| except the heavy fire wall at the west end
OF the Wolf building.
The property destroyed included the ware
houses and factory of j. p. Wolf a Sons,
| tobacco merchants; e. Bimm g Sons, gro
GERS; Benedict q Co, cigar manufacturers
the Dayton Paper Novelty company, and
several other smaller concerns. The Big
Four freight depot, located in the rear OF
the above concerns, escaped destruction by
reason Of the slate roof. The Office portion
ii the building was Quilted, however.
At 1880 the flames were practically under
control, the fire having been confined to the
district named.
Night Waterman Snediker, while trying
to locate the fire, was overcome by smoke
and was found unconscious by the fremen.
Louis swaneger. a fireman, was badly
frozen.
Wolf & Sons, the heaviest losers, were in
sured for 1896, 900; Benedict q Co, 0,O0o,
and the Dayton Paper Novelty company for
$50, 900. In each instance the loss is com
plete. The total loss is estimated at $500
OCO.
At y o'clock the east wall of the Wolf &
Sons building fell, burying beneath il three
fremen, George Coy, George Nienab5r ana
George Grieshmeir. Coy received injuries
which will likely terminate in his Death.
The other two were not badly hurt A hos
