Savannah morning news ESTABLISHED 1880. 1 •t. T sTI Ll>, Editor and Proprietor.] [luiiUS BUTTER BANTER. \\. i'I'HKR FRUITLESS DEBATE IN THE HOUSE. f |i Mrmbrri Grand Aroiinit Mr. Ever hart in *l>e Expectation of Hearing Something Spicy—Successive Amend ment* Reducing the Amount of the Proposed Tax Voted Down. Washington'. May 28.—Private busi es having been dispensed with the House went into committee of the whole, with Mr. Springer in the chair, on the oleomargarine bill, the pending amend ment being that offered by Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, reducing the special tax on re tail dealers from S4B to $25. In the course of another protracted and stubborn de bate Mr. Daniel's amendment was re ported along with numerous others, while still others were unceremoniously ruled out on points of order. An amendment was adopted allowing retail dealers in oleomargarine to pack the compound in paper packages. Mr. Everhart, of Pennsylvania, rose to speak against the bill, and the members remembering the sensation caused by his speech in opposition to the river and har bor bill, clustered around him and fre quently interrupted him with laughter ami applause. ITS CONSTITUTIONALITY defended. He asserted the constitutionalitvjof the measure, and then inveighed against the manufacture of oleomargarine, which threatened with destruction the tiine hnnored business of butter making. This oleomargarine was composed of the slag of the butcher shop, kitchen and alley, neutralized, compounded and prepared so ns to resemble the taste, form and color of butter. It looked as it its origin was associated with springs aud cows and pasture and all the charm of the country, it was ar> imposition made solely to be given to the poor man to roll under his tongue like the sweet morsel of sin, though it be as pure as the icicle on Dianas temple, or as wholesome as the bread of amrels, it was still a counterfeit pretending to be genuine. TAXATION PROPOSITIONS. Successive amendments reducing the tax to five cents and oue cent per pound were rejected. Mr. Townshetftl moved to make the tax two cents. Mr. Butterworth supported Mr. Towns hend’s amendment. It had been said by the advocates of the bill that all they de sired was such a law as would place the manufacture of oleomargarine separate and apart from that of butter—to compel a man who manufactured it to stamp it lor what it was. A tax of two cents would briug about that result. He warned the gentlemen on his side of the House, that if the time had come in this country when Congress was willing to wipe out one industry which could sur vive, which could grow, which could flourish-siinply because it was the com petitor ot another domestic industry, the spectre of tree trade would stalk through every town and village of the country within live years, and it ought to. [Ap plause on the Democratic side.J OUGHT TO STAND ON ITS OWN FEET. If this industry of oleomargarine was what the gentlemen said it was the re quirement that it should appear before tae country for what it was was enough to destroy it. II it could not stand on its own merit, it ought to die. If it could stand ami grow and flourish there was no right in th s Congress to strike it down, if the peop'e desired to buy it on its mer its, and citizens of the United States desired to manufacture it, he dented the right of Congress to wipe it out because some other industry found it in tue field ot competition. [Applause.] rending action ou the amendment the committee rose. The bill will probably paß9 the House to-morrow. If it does not it will i>e in shape to pass on Tuesday. Under tlie advice of Speaker Carlisle and other Democratic leaders, woo regretted to see the time of the House wasted at this stage of the session on a bill which has so slender a chance of becoming a law, the minority made no factious opposition to the bill to-day, contenting themselves with presenting substantial arguments and amendments. The proposition will be made to-morrow to reduce the pro posed tax mi each pound ot the imitation blitter from ten cents to eight cents or even six cents lithe majority agree to this the bill will go right through. D the majority insists on keeping the tax at ten oetits the maturity may delay the bill still further. The bill will not, it is believed, pass the Senate. If it does it " ill be vetoed, it is believed, bv the Pres ident. PACIFIC LiA.NI> OK A NTS. The Senate Fritters Away tlie Day Without. Any Itesuli.

Ito Makes an Address to the Jury Explaining His Course. New York, May 28.—Most and his two companions, Braunschweig and Schenck, were to-day found guilty of the oharge in the indictment— misdemeanor. The jury recommended Schenck to the meroy of the court. Sentence will be pronounced next Wednesday. Braunschweig and Schenck testified in their own behalf, but Most did not; but before bis case was given to the jury Most’s counsel said that his client de sired to address the jury, which lie was entitled to do by right. The Recorder re plied that Most hud that privilege, but [h a t there must be a limit to this thing. 1 he lawyer said that Most would occupy about an hour. MOST’S HARRANGtJK. Most then arc*e and said: “I cannot speak very well English. You have heard a great deal about nie. 1 suppose that you expected a great deal of witnesses for the prosecution and a lot of black devil lies about me. But what lias come off? 1 have seen prosecuting officers in Austria and Germany going against me and my associates, but they were slaves of kings and princes. I didn’t expect that here. There was a scheme gotten up and the police and press were against me. 1 knew all about the policemen who met in the beer saloon next to Captain Me- Cullagh’s station house, and said, ‘We’ll get you. Most.’ At last they arrested toe under a bed. I stood up in njy room, a room I had lived in for two months before They showed you books and other things they took from my room, but they did not produce a pockethook with SIBO that they took from me. 1 suppose they want that.’’ HIB SPEECH AT THE MEETING. He then spoke of the meeting at which he made an address: “What did I say?” be shouted. “1 said that the constitu tion of the United States permitted Us citizens to carry arms. 1 told about St. Louis, where men who were paid $5 a day by Jay Gouid shot down whoever Gould said should be shot—a dozen men and women who have been killed by them. I said the Williamsburg strikers were quiet, but the police clubbed them and fired at them. About the eight-hour movement and the meeting on xiay 1 didn’t say that the men should get guns. 1 said that if tbev carried guns instead of torchlights they would be more respected. 1 didn’t tell them they must shoot. 1 said the constitution let them carry armß. It didn’t make any difference what Kind of arms. COULD CARRY ARMS. “Certainly they could carry cannons, and of course bombs. But 1 didn’t ad vise women to throw firebrands in bouses or tell anybody to throw vitriol out of windows on policemeu.” “Bucher, you all know him,” the an archist went on, “he advises peo ple from bis pulpit Sunday after Sunday to buy rifles and guns to protect themselves. That is all the advice 1 gave. That meeting was orderly and not an unlawful assembly. You know what they are doing. They are not only putting me in prison, but they are doing away with free speech, it is the first step to bring the republic dowu to mon archy. The next will be stopping the freedom of the press. Then we will only want au Emperor.” Tnis ended Most’s address. CHICAGO’S DYNAMITERS. Tho Indictments Sixty in Number— The Bomb Thrower. Chicago, May 28.—While the indict ments which were found against tbe An archists yesterday and returned into court were only ten iu number apparently, much to the dismay of the Attorneys for tho defense, they really number 60, as each of the ten is separately indicted for the murder ot tne six officers. These tou are August Spies, Michael Schwab. Samuel Fielden, Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engle, Louis Lingg. William Peliger, Rudolph Scbnaubel ar.d O-car W. Neebe. Those are in jail, except Schuau hel and Parsons. Fresh information has reached Capt. Sehaack which will war rant two or more important arrests in the near future. It is not at all improba tde that the throwing of tho bomb will be more definitely fixed. Pension lLils Vetoed. Washington, May 28. — The Speaker laid before tbe House several veto mes sages on private pension bills, and they were referred to the committee on invalid pensions. The House then at 5 o’clock took a recess uutil 8 o’clock, the evening session to be for consideration of pension bills. The Ilomte, at Its evening session, passed twenty-five private pension bills, a •! nr 11:45o’clock adjourned. ' e President sent to the Fer.ate to-day lu additional vetoes of private ponsion bills. The reason stated in each veto is that the disability described arose iroin causes wholly apart irom military service, in some cases long before the war and in others long afterwards. >lr.

THE TREATY SENT BY THE UNIONS TO THE KNIGHT 9. Exaction of a Promlia that the Knights Will Not Come into Competition with the Other Organizations the Drift of the Document—The Executive Board Increased to Kleven. Cleveland, May 28. —The chief sub ject discussed by the Knights of Labor and the members of the trades unions in the hotel lobbies and on the streets dur ing the past few days has been the treaty that was prepared at the Philadelphia conference of the trades union officers last week for presentation to the General Assembly of the Knight 9of Labor. The address and terms of the treaty have never before been made public. At the conven tion to-day the Executive Board ot the Knights of Labor presented its report, embodying the address of the trades un ions and the terms ou which they wish to settle the existing troubles. The address is as follows: The officers of the national and interna tional trades unions desire to make the state ment that they have no antagonism towards the Knights of Labor, aud believe that as an order it has a legitimate mission m the labor movement of America. Through the develop ment of industry and tlie aggregation of capi tal the tendency is to monopolize the busi nefs of the country. Hence various trades have been affected by the introduction of machinery, subdivision of labor, use of woman’s aud child’s labor, and lack of an ai>- prcntice system, so that skilled trades were rapidly sinking to the level of pauper labor. OBJECT OF THEIR FORMATION, To protect the skilled labor of America from being reduced to beggary and to sus'.uiu the standard of American workmanship and skill the trades unions of America have been established. They are a social necessity, and their past history proves that not. only have they been a tieneflt in raising (he wages of workmen and In reducing the burdens of toil, but they have fulfilled the fraternal duty of visiting their members when unemployed, when sick and hen disabled by accident and old age. and provided for the widows and orphans of their deceased brethren. Conse quently trades unions have become a fixed and permanent institution in America—not antagonistic to the welfare of the coun try, but calculated to elevate all branches of labor to a higher degree of citizenship and larger share of social comfort. For this principle thoughliiil and farsceing men of various crafts have founded unions or their respective trades, and to maintain their trades unions members have sacrificed countless time and inouer, and where ai first many predicted their complete failure time has not only proven their usefulness, but has demon strated that they are destined to fulfill a higher mission, and their progress is in exact proportion to the Intellectual development of their members. NO NEED FOR ANTAGONISM. When they are founded ou such grounds there need be no fears of ihctr destruction nor need there be any antagonism between them and the Knights of Labor, or late our greatest fears have not been that the Knights of Labor would destroy trades unions, but that the capitalists of the country would use every opportunity to pit one form of organi zation against another, and in the conflict de stroy both. Within the past year the no tionai and international trades unions have grown with giant strides. For exampie we will cite a few instances: The Internation al Typographical Union lias gained 9.H42 mem bers, the Cigarmakers International Union, 7.101; the Brotherhood of tar pen! ers and Joiners, 13,4111; the National Lasers’ Union, 7.564: tlie International Brickmakersand Ma sons, 9,578; the Furniture Workers, 6.633; the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers. 8,2301; the Iron Moulders. 12,400; the Granite Cutters, 3,622; the Custom Tailors, 2,541, and the Coal miners. 36,(09. Out of 22 national ami international unions represented in the Fblladelpltla con ference and fourteen additional national anil international unions that indorsed its works only nine of the chief officers ore salaried, ami their salaries range Iroin sl2 to $2) per week, the balance of the offi ers devoting themselves to their duties without salaries. Trades unions are economically managed, and most r girt accountability is exacted from their officers in ail financial and business transactions As officer- pledged uy most sacred obligations to promote the. lnter esis of their respective unions, tlie chief offi c.ers feit it was their duty to attend the Phila delphia conference. and ihe results of that conference are such that for the future there are no doubts that the trades unions of Amer ica will not only grow, but become a more fixed institution. THE TREATY. The treaty itself, of course, Is the moßt important part ot the work, ar.d is the bone of contention, lor if its terms are agreed to by the Knights ol Labor it will work radical changes in the management and organization ot the local assemblies. The treaty is as follows: 1. That in any branch of labor having a na tional or iniernational organization, the Knights of Laiior shall not initiate any per son or form any assembly of persons follow ing siid organized trail or calling without the consented the Beared national or inter national muon aflretert. 2. That n per-ou shall be admitted to tbe Knight-ot Later who work* for less than the regular scab-of wages fixed by the union of his craft, and none shall lie admitted to mcm be/ahip lu uni ns or labor who have ever been ennvic c ! of scabbing, in ting, embezzlement or any other offeun- against tlie union of In* trade or calling until exonerated by the same. 8. That Ihe charter ot any Knight of Labor assembly of auv trade, having n national or international union shall he revoked, and the members of the came requested to join a mixed assembly, or lorin a local union under the jurisdiction of their respective national or international Irades unions. 4. That any organizer of the Knights of Labor who endeavors to imtuee trad.r unious to disband, or tampers with their growth or privileges, shall have his communion forth with revoked. 5. That whenever a strike or lockout of any trades unionists 1. in progress no ns-emhly or district assembly of the Knights of Labor shall interfere until setilcd to the satisfaction ol the trades union affected. 6. That the Knights or Labor shall not es tablish nor ii-*ne any trade mark nr label In competition with any trade mark or label now issued or ihm may li reaft* r be issued by any national or international trades union. THE ASSEMBLY AT WORK. The General Assembly of tbe Knights of Labor settled down to hard work this morning and held two sessions to-day, business being transacted on the eight hour plan—from 8 to 12 o’clock in the morning and 2 to 0 o’clock in tbcaiter noon. After the opening preliminaries the Committee on Laws presented tnoir report, the first proposition of which was substantially that tbe Executive Hoard of the Knights of Labor be increased from five to 11 members, or that six assistauts be ap pointed to help tbe present hoard. Under the constitution no more than five mem bers are permitted, and the scheme of having assistants Is for tbe purpose merely of evading tbe constitution. After an hour's discussion, the proposition was adopted without change. The six new members or ansistants will be elected by ballot similarly to other officers, and those elected at the present convention will serve (luring the uncxpircd year that ends in Ootobea It was decided to estab lish permanent headquarters lor tbe Exe cutive Hoard In Philadelphia, and if deemed neo'-ssary the board rnay elt throughout tbojear lnstenlof assembling at Miscall of the Master Workman. A re solution was carried that gave the Grand Master Workman authority to recall the commission of every organiser In tbe or der. The accomplishment ot this work Is I greatly due to the three general organi zers, Richard Trevelirk of Michigan, Bert I Deuny of l’itteburg. and Mr. Carrollton of Ohio. Mr. Denny is in the con vention, and the other two have been ; working outside. The subject of aj>polnt ttig and the moans ' to he taken for their selection was being I discussed when the noon recess occurred. The convention reassembled at 2 o’clock and continued the discussion on the re port of the Committee of Laws. Some sections of the report were adopted and others referred hack to the committee. A committee of three was appointed to revise the constitution of the order and report at the Richmond convention In October. THE OLEOMARGARINE FIGHT. A dispatch was read from Joseph L. Riel, dated Washington, saying that a man had appeared in that city announc ing himaelt to be a representative of the Knights of Labor and saving that the Knights ot Labor were not opposed to the sale of oleomargarine and bulterine under the terms of the bill now pending before Congress. The following reply was sent to Washington: J. G. I’arlinU, IP< uhhijton: Ai'ting under instructions from the General Assembly of the Knights nf Labor. I desire to state that no person hie. been authorized to speak for this organization, ell her in the affirmative, or negative, on llie question of regulating the sale of oleomargarine, now pending in Congress, please bring tins mat ter to the aUoiHion of the proper coimulttoo. T. V. POWDEKLY, U. M. W. THE ORGANIZATION CONTROVERSY. The Executive Board presented its re port in the matter of the controveisy be tween the trades unions and the Knights of Labor, and the rest of the afternoon was spent in hearing statements and argumentßon the report. The convention took a reeess at 6 o’clock until 8 o’clock to-morrow morning, with amotion to re fer the report to the committee on the State of the order pending. There are many candidate! for the as sistantships on the Executive Board. There were fully 15 delegates from new districts who came to the conven tion in the bopeot securing seats, but who, UDder the precedent established at the special convention held in 1878, were debarred. They kuew of the rule when they came hors, but hoped to have the precedent put aside. All the District Assemblies organized in time to hand in the usnal quarterly re port in July will be entitled to repre sentation at tbe Kic.bmond convention in October. The new members hoped to have a precedent established that would admit delegates from District Assem blies whose reports in April were for warded to tb Executive Board. Among tbe delegates shut out under the- rule was Rev. O. 8. Mevnardie, a Baptist minister of Augus ta, Ga. 'ihe reverend gentleman is a Master Workman ot Local Assembly No. .5,030.

Va., May 28.—Ritchie county once more comes to the front with oue of the most diabolical outragos ever perpetrated within the borders of this State. As on other occasions of this nature the perpetrators are what are known as Red Men, that organization ot outlaws which for half a dozen years has flourished iu this Slate despite the attempts of the authorities to stamp it out. Tbe victims this time are Mr. and Mr*. George Keck, who live on Goss Ruu, in Ritchie county. Two nights ago they were aroused hv the shouts of a mob which had surrounded their house, and on the door being opened the Red Men took Keck and his wife Into the woods near by, roped them to trees aud beat them in a most biutal mariner with hickory withes. They then burned the dwelling and its contents to the ground and departed. After daylight Keek succeeded In releasing himself, and after removing bis bleeding, fainting wife to a place of safety, swore out warrants for such of the mob as be had been able to recognize, and twelve ot them have been arrested and placed in jail. Other arrests will be made. ERIE SUED FOR $S(1,000. Allegations That the Government. Has Been Swindled. New York, May 28.—Papers have been tiled in the United States Circuit Court to recover from tlie Erie Railroad Com pany tbe sum of $86,<8)0 said to be due tbe United States ns the 5 percent, tax on the capital of th* Erfo Road and w hich has been due since 1873. Bu!t was begun at that time and judgment obtained, but no property coul.l he found on which to levy as the road was mortgaged to the Farm er’s Loan and Trust Cos., to secure certain mortgage bonds. In 1877 the late E. D. Morgan nnd others bought the road for $6,000,000 and reconstructed it under the name of tbe New York, Lake Erie and Western. This was done. It Is alleged, for the purpose of defrauding the govern ment and other creditors out ot their just dues, and the present suit is brought to determine that fact. MILLS COLLAPSE.

GLADSTONE STILL GAME* CONSEUVATIVKB MKT WITH A BOLl> FRONT. Hlr TYfiohnol Hlcka-Ueii(ih' Motion to Adjourn Overwhelmed by 400 Nwye to 1 Vote In the Afllnnitlve -l he Premier Decline* to Commit London, May 18.— Joseph Cowen (Radical), member of Parliament for Newcastle, publishes a letter in the New castle Chronicle, in which he says: “The dissentients consciously or unconscious ly have said good-bye to the Liberal par ty. Tho homo rule question is not set tled. Years will be spent over this tight. Political animosities will grow and fos ter, leading to complete reoastlng ol party lines. The prospect tor tho Liberals is not hopeful.” THE I'REMIKII’B STATEMENT. The House of Commons was orowded this evening. Premier Gladstone in re plying to a question by Sir Michael Hicks- Beach (Conservative) said that the gov ernment considered it to bo its duty alter the second reading of the home rule bill not to ask the iloue to go into committee on the measure but to adopt one of tho methods which be (Mr. Gladstone) de scribed at the Liberal meeting yesterday. Tne government, he said, was inclined to allow the bill to lapse lor tbe present ses sion aud to advise the Queen to cause au early reassembling ot Parliament at which tho home rule bill would bo re introduoed. lie was unable at that mo ment to speak more positively. adjolrnment moved. Sir Michael, In view of the unsatisfac tory statement of the government, moved an adjournment. He was greeted with cheers by the opposition, all Ihe Conser vatives rising to support the motion. The speaker continuing said that the govern ment prior to the introduction oi the bill had dwelt upon the necessity ol restoring social order in Ireland, and nad said that tbe government was of one mind and had an Intelligible plan. Was the plan lounu so unfeasible that nobody would vote for it? If it was found feasible why (lid the government now propose to withdraw or postpone tbe bill? The bill simply amounted to a oontinuance in office bill. [Cheers.] GLADSTONE’S REPLY. Mr. Gladstone upon rising to reply was loudly eheered. He repudiated the sor did motives which Sir MicliHel had im puted to the government, although he said the general confidence of his country men in tho government rendered such re pudiation unnecessary. Numerous mem bers of the House who were friendly to the principle of tho bill asked for time to consider the measure--hence the post ponement. The government had raised one of the greatest issues ever sub mitted to Parliament and would endeavor to keep it clear of collateral issues. The government had belore it a conflict and was prepared logo through the struggle to the end. [Cbeers.| It was perteotly confident as to the final issue. [Cheers.] The government was acting in accordance with precedent, it was because tho course which the govern ment Had taken was the best means or at taining the end sought that Sir Michael had moved an adiournment. NO PRECEDENTS. Lord Randolph Churchill maintained that Mr. Gladstone could not quote a precedent for tho course now taken as re gards any measure of great and over whelming importance. Lord Hurtington said he thought the House should know whether tho govern ment would continue with the present bill iu the autumn session or introduce a new bill at another session. Sir William Yeruon liarcourt, Chan cellor of the Exchequer, interposing, said the government would advise the Queen to prorogue Parliament, and Mr. Glad stone, with emphasis, declared that he stated yesterday that the government would prefer that course. Lord Hartington continuing said: “Then the House will he asked to agree to second reading of tho bill which the government does not Intend to have pass and become a law this session. There is no precedent tor asking the House to pro ceed with a bill which is dead.” [Opposi tion cheers.] TOO MUCH ALIVE. Thomas O’Connor said that the action of Lord llartlngfon and the Conserva tives showed that the bill was far too uuen alive for them. [Vociferous cheers|. Sir Michael’s motion was part of a scheme of dishonest and unscrupulous tactics. The Speaker here ordered Mr. O’Connor to withdraw the latter expression. “Certainly,” replied Mr. O’Connor with out hesitation. Sir Michael at this point asked leave to withdraw his motion. Tbe Parnell lies, however, insisted upon a division, which was ordered, and ainid cheers and laughter the lenders of the op position voted with the government against adjourning. The motion was re jected by a vote of 405 to 1. Tbe an nounoeiuent of the result was received with renewed la lighter and cheers. Tbe action of the J’arnellltes in insist ing upon a division on Sir Michael’s mo tion was merely intended as a joke. Daniel Crllly, Nationalist, comprised the minority. John Redmond nod Thomas Power O’Connor acted as Tellers. Mr. Chamberlain voted against adjournment. Mr. Cain and a majority of the followers of Lord Hartington abstained from voting. The meetings which were to have been held to-day by the followers of Mr. Cham berlain ahd iford Hartington were post poned until Monday. The debate on tbe home rule bill was re sumed, the discussion being confined to minor speaker*. Subsequently the arms bffl passed its third reading by a vote of 158 to 85. LESS CONFIDENT. The Ministerialists are now less confi dent concerting the home rule hill. The Liberal whips have ascertained that the iiartlngion section retains 67 votes and tbe Chamberlain party 21 voles against the measure. Messrs. Caine, Kylaml and other Radicals were interviewed to-night. They all deolarud that Mr. Gladstone’s oonoosslons were too vague and uncertain to reconcile them to voting tor the bill. Mr. Bright is Indigount over tbe proceed ings at the Liberal meeting. He has promised to speak on the bill before a division is taken. Tbe Times says Premier Gladstone would find It as difficult to enumerate affairs, especially Irien, as he confessed II would belli his original statement with respect to imperial affairs. He had nothing yesterday to say about Ulster or tbe pbjoctione to the financial scheme of tb bill. THK BLACK CLOUD OF DISSOLUTION. L’ I*be Pall Mall Gazette says Premier Gladstone yesterday secured a second reading or bis home rule bill and adds: “And the black shadow of Imminent dis solution ia lifted.” The st. .times Gazette (Conservative) admits that It believes now that there Is likelihood that Mr. Gladstone will tuo- seed in attaining his immediate object but declares his grand scheme of legisla tion for Ireland is dcstioyed. Tho Globe (Conservative,) says: “Premier Gladstone's surrender is a great bid foroontlnuance in office. Most ministers would have preferred to retire rather than submit to be degraded to such an expedient." The Echo (Conservative) pronounces the Premier’s course more ingenious than dignified or courageous.
