PLoDE NAVAL MAGAZINE ON
IONA ISLAND.
Demand i. Made that Married Men
Discharged on JAM. ! be Taken
Back at Once: 5000. 900. 900
Pounds Of Powder.

New York, Feb. 24.-In. q letter
signed "Black Hand" addressed to
Commander Braunstruster, in charge
OF the United States naval magazine
at Iona island, the threat has been
made that the enormous stores of
smokeless powder on the island will
be blown up unless the married men
discharged from employment on the
island Jan. 1. 1908 be put back to
work ct once. There are 5000, 600
600 pounds of smokeless powder and
other explosives stored in the numer-
GUS magazines.
Secret service men are working to
discover the identity of the writer Of
the letter. Printed by hand, the
letter was mailed at the Haverstraw
Postofice two weeks ago. It was 40
follows:
'sIf the married men that were dis
charged from Iona island are not
taken back again at once all the
magazines on the island will be blown
up. The writer does not fear death.
BLACK Hand"
On Jan. between thirty and forty
men, civilians, who had been en-
ployed on the island were discharged
owing to delay in forwarding funds
from Washington to continue work.
This delay was looked upon at the
time as temporary, and it was UNDER
stood the men would be taken back
as soon as the money arrived.
Among the men discharged, most
of whom were laborers, were many
Italians and Sicilians.
Since the receipt of the letter every
approach to the island has been
guarded day and night by marines, it
is said, and the civilians employed
have been kept under the strictest
surveillance.
Iona island Is forty miles up the
Hudson from New York and seven
miles south of West Point.

ont indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement Of new settlers from
the United States this year. It should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are Offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on q
parity with those in existence to tho
southwest for couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent Of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
Information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in.
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele.
gram from the winter wheat belt OF
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January 18th, says:
This winter up to January Is was
nothing short Of q. marvel, in. fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though. there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny, and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and

people in the day time. There was

Of last year the following extracts are

Of oats was IS bushels to the acre,

CUT OPPOSED
BY ENGINEERS
Chief Stone Of That Brotherhood
Issues Strong Statement.
PREPARED TO FIGHT
Railroad Trainmen Also Emphatically
Against Any Reduction-Reasons
are Given at Length.

Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
made the following statement at
Cleveland, Ohio, Friday. in connection
with the reported purpose of some rail-
way companies to order a general re-
duction of the wages of employees: :
The threatened reduction of wages
of employees in train service is abso-
lutely unjustified from any point OF
view. Their pay is based on a mile
age basis. practically piecework, and
they are only paid when there are
services to be performed. Wages of
employees in train service fall paral-
lei with the shrinkage In business
plus increased living expenses away
from home. When their earnings are
$3.50 per month, their expense of liv-
ing away from home is about 10 per
cent, while at the present reduced rate
of $40, which has to be met by hun
dreds under present conditions, that
expense will increase it to at least 20
per cent of earnings, because they are
held away from the home terminal un-
til there is full-tonnage train to be
handled, making total automatic re-
duction already in wages from 60 to
20 per cent.
"The roads are getting the same re-
turn in freight receipts for the serv-
ice rendered as they did when the busi-
ness was good, and there Is no. con-
sistency in asking men to accept fur
ther reductions than result from the
present business shrinkage. and the
full power of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers will be used, II nee.
essary, in an effort to prevent any
further reduction, because it would be
absolutely unjust"
William G. Lee, assistant grand mas
ter of the Brotherhood OF Railroad
Trainmen, speaking for his organiza-
ton on the same subject, dictated the
following:
The wage workers have not had a
thing to do with this panic and loss
Of business, except to suffer from the
encouragement of some employers and
SPECTATORS. If he works he produces
just as much per hour as he ever did.
His living expenses are just as high
as before.
"All classes of trainmen are paid by
the mile or trip; and a reduction OF
miles run or trips made, means re
duction of the amount paid by the EN-
ployer.
There can be no good argument
presented why trainmen should receive
lower trip or mileage rates for mile:
run. Freight trains are not run unless
business requires 1t. Corporations
never carry an overload of labor, but
labor is usually compelled to carry an
overload OF capitalization.
Our principal business now Is tf
maintain the present standard OF liv
ing, which means to hold to the pres
ent standard of wages, and. unless al
signs fail, railroad employees will op
pose to the bitter end any attempt t
reduce wages"

Again Accepts Presidency of Cotton Asso-
citation and Forestalls Collapse.
Thursday nights session Of the exec
utive committee of the Southern Cot
ton Association at Dallas. Texas, de-
veloped a factional contest, and what
threatened to develop a break in the
ranks of the association was adjusted
by the acceptance again of the prSsa-
dency by Harvie Jordan.
When the committee met to select
the president for the ensuing term
two candidates were proposed, Walter
Clark and z. d. Smith Of South Caro-
lima. Both OF the candidates express
ed reluctance to accept the Office.
Mr.. Clark declared that the fight OF
the association had been conducted
against great odds, without the sup
port of its beneficiaries, and urged the
temporary disbandment of the organ
ization. Clark predicted s cents cotton
for the coming season and thought
that the best interests Of the associa'
ton would be conserved If 1t should
temporarily go out of existence.
Finally, the two opposing candidates
withdrew in favor of Harvie Jordan
and he consented to serve for another
year.
The charge of failure to support the
organization finally resulted in the
pledging of $4,000 as presidents sal
airy and general once expenses; eaci
state pledging $50 for every 1oo,ool
ba1os produced.

man was the first one to see the

alighting the fireman struck on
his head on some stones and was al
most instantly killed, his neck being

bingham was thrown quite distance

of his fall, he miraculously escaped
injury, this being several times that
he has escaped what seemed almost

Investigation ofPolice Department Fails
To Show Anything Out Of Ordinary.

Chief j. A. Mitchell of the city po-
lice force was fully vindicated from
the charges preferred by certain citi-
zens at the special meeting of the city
council held on last Saturday evening.
A careful auditing of the reports of
the chief of police and the police mag
istrate showed them to be identically
the same, and all the funds accruing
to the city were duly accounted for.
The absence of several treasurer's S re-
ceipts was accounted for by Magis-
trate Burdick stating that they had
been left at his residence.
A peculiar fact was that those who
were loudest in preferring the afore-
said charges of graft were conspicuous
by their absence. Aldermen Rapelje
and Donohue indulged in few scath-
ing remarks concerning this fact, lay
ing particular emphasis on the fact
that the council had gone to the trouble
of calling this special meeting to fully
investigate the charges made, with nc
object in view of embarrassing
anybody Mr.. Donohue said it seem
ed to him that the members of the
council had been made monkeys of.
The report of Chief Mitchell dis
closed the fact that the regular run o.
police court business had been much
more during the present administra
tion than the one Immediately preced
ing. The increase of regular police
court business for a similar period a:
during the Kinney administration was

houses showed a decrease, but thi!

measure and it will be passed.
The submarine boat controversy
seems to have narrowed down to a
Yes you did," "No | didn't" con-
troversy between Capt. Richmond
P. Hobson and Ex-constructor
Spear. There is no question but
that the Electric Boat Company had
a big lobby before Congress, and
there was easy money around for
anyone who was capable of earning
it, congressman and correspondents
alike. But the mere fact that there
were so many suspicious circum-
stances and so few tangible facts de-
veloped before the investigating
committee shows to what refinement
the system of lobbying has been
carried.
