REMAINS OF PocAHoNTAs.
Movement to Have Them Brought to
jamestown for Final Interment.

The plan for the removal to jamestown
and refinement of the Indian princess
Pocahontas famed as the preserver of the
life of Capt. John Smith, when Chief Pow
hatan was about to have his head crushed
with big club, is meeting with general
approval throughout Virginia and among
the southern historical societies. The plan
has been approved by Old Dominion Chap
ter. Daughters of the American Revolution
at Richmond, and the matter is to be taken
up by the women in Alexandria, the Vir-
ginia women in this city and elsewhere
1t is hardly thought the refinement can
take place during the corning jamestown
of Virginia, but the plan as is being dis
cussed by the ladies' clubs has been for
the prompt raising of funds with which to
locate the grave of Pocahontas in England.
When brought to Virginia the remains
will be reinterred with appropriate honors
near the old jamestown church. Poca-
hontas died and was buried in England
over 200 years ago, but 1t is regarded as
most appropriate that she should have a
last resting place at jamestown, for in the
old jamestown church she was baptized
and made a Christian, and in old Bruton
Church, at Williamsburg, but a few miles
away, she became the bride of Capt. John
Jamestown, and history says her one de-
sire when she knew her death was near
was to return to Virginia and be laid at
rest in it's soil. 1t now seems as if this
wish is, after long centuries, to be graft
fed.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR WAR.
Exceptions Taken to Statement Attrib-
uted to Mr.. Mas.

Mr. Thomas H Canning general secre-
tary-treasurer of the Knights of Labor, has
taken exception to the statements con-
tanned in recently published interview
with Paul ]. Mas, "a western labor ad-
vocate." In the interview In question MT.
Mas was quoted as stating that 'the fac
of the knights of Labor headed by John
w Hayes, for many years secretary-treas-
urer, and for three years grand master
workman of the general assembly OF the or
ganizaton, has won the suit in the Court
of Appeals of the District of Columbia IN
stituted by Simon Burns who asserted ne
represented the only faction of the knights
of Labor entitled to have that name blown
in the bottle. The decision banded down,
which is not subject to appeal, holds tnat
the District Supreme Court is without
Jurisdiction in the case, as the order Is
chartered by Congress-
1t will be very readily seen, Mr.. Canning
states, that this latter statement is erro-
neous, inasmuch as the Court of Appeals on
Tuesday allowed the Burns faction TO take
such an appeal.
LAS a matter of fact the decision of the
Court of Appeals, sustaining the Hayes fac
ton in the matter of jurisdiction, does not
indicate that the Hayes faction has come
out on top. 1t simply throws the contro-
versy back to where it started
THE decision of the court declaring the
Burns faction in control of the organization
has, of course, been overthrown by the
of Appeals, but otherwise the case is in
its original phase. 1t remains to be seen
what complexion will be put on the matter
by the action of the Supreme Court Of the
United States
The Burns faction is extremely confident.

about the building. Relying upon these.
the sales people, when asked for listerine
at &C., were advised that 1t was 15c., the
error not becoming known until this morn
ing.

Care in Selection of Life Preservers.

The local steamboat owners are making
every effort to comply with the new regu-
lations regarding life preservers for use on
the steamers and are having those on hand
overhauled and put in good shape They
are wedding out the granulated-cork pre-
servers that have been thrown out by the
new rules, and also all that are not full
forty-eght inches in length.
The want of accord among the officials
of the steamboat inspection service in va
rious parts of the country is causing the
steamboat men much trouble in their eff
forts to comply with the law.
The managers of the steamboats, say they
are glad to comply with the new regula-
tons. but in justice to them they think
there should be some uniformity in the
rulings of the boards in the different Sec
lions of the country.
