Richmond. Va., Oct. 4.—The tapping
of Master Workman T. V. Powderly’s
gavel at 10:15 o’clock this morning gave
the signal for the opening of the tenth
animal convention of the Knights of La
bor, in the armory of the First Virginia
Regiment. He stood alone upon a small
pine platform at the further end of the
spacious room and looked out upon the
faces of a thousand delegates assembled
from every part of this country. Repre
sentatives of a million men and women,
white and black faces—the faces of men
and women bound together Dy a common
object—met his view. The session was to
be an ouen one, and in addition
to the large body of delegates
were as many others not of the ordei as
could tint! seats or share what little stand
ing room there was wita its members.
The large loom looked like an
immense banqueting hall, with tables
formed of plain pine boards runuing
nearly the length of the room in rows, as
close together as the possibility of mov
ing between them would permit. On
sitber side ol the eatables were seated the
Jelcgates. Neither flags nor streamers
broke the severe simplicity of the wbite
wamed brick walls and the unbroken
white paint of the arched ceiling. The
oulv things that even hinted at a
decorative purpose were lithograph
portraits of toaster Workman I’ow
d rly and Geueral Secretary Turner,
that hung on either side ot tee room, and
a large gilt f-ame that enclosed photo
graph* ol tie members of the Joel Parker
Association, that hung behind the plut
t< rin. The latter is the property ol the
regiment in whose quarters tbe conven
:ion me:, and was simply permitted to re
main.
ENTRY OF GOV. LEE.
While the sound of the Master Work
man’s gavel still re-echoed, footsteps were
nearu approaching the entrance doors,
nnda moment later Gen. Fitsshugb Lee,
>■> rnor of Virginia, entered* As he
walked up the central ats!*leading to the
putlorm, escorted by William H. Mullen,
tousrer Workman of the Richmond dis
trict, and Tom O’Keillv, of the Tele
yrapoeis’ Assembly, of Now York city,
the Governor was erected with enthusi
astic cheers, which redoubled a? be stood
on the platform bowing in response to this
greet ng. When the applause hail sub
sided aval tor. Mullen had presented Gov.
Lee to Mr. Powderlv, the latter stepped
forward and introduced him to tbe mem
bers. announcing that Guv. Lee was to
deliver to them an address of welcome,
inn through tbem lotuo-e they represent
ed throughout the entire country. When
tbe applause that again broke forth at the
mention of b:s nacre permitted him to do
so, Gov. Leo said:

“never w 11 he a political party, but its mem
bers may one day co-operate *ith other
thinking men. form tig a part? that will keep
the country straight in the lines marked out
for it by the founder* of the republic.”
THE KILL OK RIGHTS.
The fereat authors of the bill of rights, a
part of the constitution of this State wm h
has heeo usod .8 '■ he basis for republican con
®titu i**Uß e\ery where*.{has said: “Ail men a:e
by nature equally free and independent, a id
have certain inherent rights of which, woeu
they cuter into any state of society, they can
not. by n it v contract, deprive aud dlvft
their iiosterity—namely, the enjoyment of life
and liberty and the moans o* acquiring and
possession of property, and pursuing and ob
taining happiness and safety.” That wise
semenoc is one of the at raightest and
and dearest lines marked out by the founders
of tbe republic. Tnero has always been, and
there will al ways be. t wo grout, political par
ties in the United States, and mom has never
boon found for a third. Wherever the forma
tion of this third uarty ha-, been attempted
it has failed called by whatever name it may
have bneD. and you well sav, Mr. Eowdorly,
••Regulation of the prices of labor aud
commodities does not come within
tin* province of political parties ” But the
battle, we are fold, is one of labor airei ist
capita! and capital against labor. Why,
some capitalists are Democrats and some re
publicans, an 1 rho Knights of Labor belong to
*>'h of th* great political parties of the day.
Will the Democratic lvoighis fight the Repub
lican capita ists, and will the Republican
Knights tight the Democratic capitalists?
Wbat a mixed combat that would be. Let
us follow yonr chief* advice and keen polt
ti * out and 1 *t tho contest be as it was origi
nally slated, between the capitalists of either
political party on one side and the Knights of
Labor be they Democralor Republicans, oa
the other,
TWO CLASSES OF CAPITALISTS.
But what class of cardt'lists are oppress
ing you, and whose course is injurious to “the
line* marked out by the founders of the re
public?” I divide ihe capitabnts into two
kinds, and will g.* with you and give the co ri
mund “Forward!” and light by your side
against one of these classes. Make war
against incorporated rascality and wc will
helii you to ride it down. Combat the great
moneyed corporations that seek to control
your Legislature*, Federal aud State, bv
bribery and corruption, in order that they
may get. votes in the Federal halls of legisla
tion to perfect and foster upon the who'e
country legislation for their benefit,
and not for tlie benefit of the
people at large. We will march shoulder
to shoulder with you in that. Draw th** tangs
from the money kings who seek to fako pos
session of the great telegraph lines of tho
country and deflect them from their legiti
mate purpose by controlling them to defeat
the will of a free people In an attempt 10 de
fraud the whole country of their constitu
tional right to e eet rulers, and we will or er
to ' oar support “the horse, foot and dra
goons” in that. Organ ze against capitalists
who furnish money to carry elections, and
the i claim as their reward the selection < f
the men upon whose shoulders shall be thrown
tbe purple robe of tb A judiciary, and we are
with you in that. You will feel the. touch of our
e'bows too in assisting to keep down any men
or set of men who seek to depart from ‘Mine*
marked out” by our forefathers, and set up in
this country a sfcrong central government to
control tho neople, when the fathers formed a
government to bo controlled by the people.
ANOTHER CLASS OF CAPITALIST#.
Rut all capital, my friend*, is not used in
this way nor for such vicious purposes. L“t
us make no war upon tho.-c who use their
good fortune to alleviate ihe sufferings of
mankind, and wh**se eulogies are written in
the hearts of thousands on account of ihe’r
generous donations and noble deed*, aud
whose mnnov is employed to whiten theoeean
with sails and cause the wharves to be laden
with commerce, not against a clans of our fel
low citizens of whom it was so eloquently
said that “philanthrope would sing in ringing
chimes < f tneir public, charities, that sorrow
would find solace m their deeds, that despair
won and be lifted up into hope by their
voices, that there would be churches whose
heaven kissing spires wou'd chronicle their
donations, that schools would claim them as
patrons aDd hospitals as benefactors: that
science would even loan on them while her
vision swept infinite, aye the very footsteps
of progress would be sandalled bj theirsilv r.
You have no tight ag inst beuevoleuce and
charity. The rights of all men are going t >
be protected in this country. Kaiplover*, as
has been well said, have no right t lock out
a whole shop f ill ot hands to bring a lew un
witling ones to term#, ikT have they, in my
opinlou. a right *o eng :g* with otnor employ
ers t * ilx the rate for them to pay, or compel
a!i to remain idle, but they have a right to ex
ercise their just judgment as to what fair
dealing And just’c * demand, aud what they
would le wiping to give for the work they want
abd after wards, if sustaining lose, to say they
would not be able to give so much You can
have hell m yonr factory, says Washington
Gladden.or you cau have heaven there, just
as you wish/ If it is hell yon want build your
busiuessin the law of noil, which U*implv:
“Every man fr himself and the devil take
the hindmost.” Out of that you will get
lighting perennial and unrelenting, if it’s
heaven you want, then build your business on
the law of the Kingdom of Heaven: ‘Thou
shalt love tbv neighbor as thyself.” Tnat will
lead you in tbe path of peace.
LABOR COMBINATIONS.
Nor can ir be admitted on yonr sidethatyou
have a right by combination or otherwise to
prevent others' working . pen terms and con
dition* vou have rejected if they decide
to do so. The petr .o of this country
can never be sati-dled uutd linerty

overthrew the temple ot the Philistines, but
it is instructive, says a wise writer, to re
member wbat became of Samson. The In
ventor of the guillotine perished bv its blade.
French revolution;§*■,. who worked It most
freely on others, dually paid tribute to it with
ttu ir heads. Law will protect both eapital
nud labor, and behind ihe statute law is ihe
grant body of law which has existed all
through civilized litfl. and which Is known a*
the common law. Each Still in ihe crown of
the Union Inherits ih sv-teni of law and its
courts enforce it. ’’.Studentsid political econ
omy are tiulvrr illy a reed that the r gilt of
Ihe workingman to combine cannot be *iujs

chasm that sep nates employer and employed
a great deal deeper and wider than it new is,
and to sow seed- of jo dou-y and spi e that

generations.” It is a grcdt mistake to think
that alt classes are hnsttlo to the laboring
crass. National pro perity Is not promoted
by having in our meld degradid class of
laborers, flow cm tec manufacturing and
mercantile classes oo b.*n a ted b reducing

PEACE INDISPENSABLE.
It is wiser, therefore, geutlcmen, to have
peace bet weou conservative capital and the
laboring classes. An issue betlV-an them
that cannot e adjusted pea 'eably becomes an
electric sword, aud paralyze* aod iranstlxns

periment of five daysHbalt thou labor,making
Saturday a holiday for all working classes,
aud givejgood reasons therefore iu the over
crowded cities of the country. The candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania wou'd place
tne wage earner on a dead level of legal
equality with the wage paver at every stage
aud in every particular ot* s vi ral t anssc
ti mis between them. Demand must regu
late tho supply in all things,
and f see trouble only where the iutter
exceeds the former. It there is
uot work enough for everybody to net there
muA be idle men, but the lands hi many rural
districts are inviting and a remedy con'd be
found by men in overcrowded oities working
over more space where more room could be
found—“room to turn arouiul in, to breathe
and in* free.” In differences between capital
and “the army of and scontented” seek arbitra
t.on, formed and controlled by regularand
legallv constituted tribunals, and both sides
submit to (heir decis ons. Do not let its in
crease our troubles in this world. We have
already enough. Sorrow’s Oioud has tipped
our monutuin toi-s, desolation has swept over
our plains and valleys, the earth itself in por
tion* of our fair land has been shaken, :md
amid the ruins of cities and iu Hie shadow
of human terror we are tauxlu our
insignificance, and ho*.v weak and help
less w are and how small our hold on human
life. It behooves us then to be charitable io

THE MODERN HKCLAB.
And now, gentlemen, permit me to express
the hope that your stay in our city may he
pleasant and that you will carry buck agree
able recollections oi your visit/ 1 pray that
your deliberations maybe harmonious; that
those old men around’me who. “like Heela,
wear crowns of snow, and yet, like Heela,
have souls of flame.*’ may be temperate in
their counsels and judioiou.- in their
speech. And may the youug men Uore
remember that upon their shoulders future
peace or war will fall, and a-'t thru
part wisely and well, to that it
may be said of each and every mem
ber as the years roll on and days darken into
nights aud in their turn brighten into days that
this meeting has made a contribution to the
pr syerity of their country anu to the promo
tion *>f the happiness of her people. The ship
of the republic was launched over n century
ago in the presence of the world. May it be
the duty of us °ii to see that her sails are
Ailed with friendly breezes and are not spread
to ottloh the breath of passion, aud that sne is
i&aoned by united and contented crews, them
indeed will she stlely ride over stormy bil
lows rolling in the path of her dr-stiuy until
she is at last anchored in a safe and constitu
tional harbor, over which will forever shine
the great orb of peace in all the splendor of
unclouded majesty.
The large audience listened with close
attention, and frequent applause marked
their approval of tho principal points
made.
When the Governor had taken his seat
on toe platform, Frank J. Farrell, colored,
a member of the delegation of District
Assembly No. 49, whose associates re
fused to take up their quarters in the
ho-.el In Which he refused admission
on an equal footing, % ceudeti the plat
form. Taking bis stand beside tbe pre
slditu? officer’s table he said:
//<> th* Governor of Virginia mul
Geutlenten of th* Convention :
It is witli much pleasure and gratification
that I introduce to you Mr. T. V. Powderly,
of the state of Pennsylvania, who will reply
to the address of welcome of Gov. Lee, of this
State, which is one of ihe oldest Stales in the
arena of political influence of our country.
He is one of those men who recognizes the 1m
port anoe of this gathering of the toiling men
of this growing republic, it is with extreme
pleasure that we, delegates from every sec
tion of our country, recognize the words ot
congratulation in our modest efforts to im
prove the condition of humanity. It Is, there
fore, that th© welcome of Virginia D so gruti
lylng to us all. As Virginia ha* led iu the as
pirations of our country in the past, we look
with much confident-.* that she will lead iu the
future to a realization of the objects of ths
noble order, wh.eh include the abolition of
those distinction which arc maintained
by class, by crcod, by color and by nationali
ty. 1 believe I present to tju a man whose
mind is above the&e superstitions which are
involved iu these distinctions. Here we staud
as brethren and equals. My experience in
the nobie order of tne ivnigh;s of Labor, and
mv training in the district l which 1 belong,
has taught me that we have advanced very
far towards the elimination oi these unfortu
nate and regretabte distinctions. As we re
cognize and repose confidence in alt worthy
men for their worth to society, so can we re
pose confidence in the head of the noble son of
labor, T. V. Fowderly, whom 1 introduce to
you.
MR. POWERLY*S REPLY TO GOV. LEE.
Mr. Powderly began by returning
thanks for tbe reception they had met
with, and pleasantly alluded to the fame
of Southern hospitality, and continued:
The fight in wb h the Knights of Labor arc
engaged 1 not a war of labor against capital,
but a war in which the manhood of ihe Amer
ican laborer is fighting for recognition In
this war it must be determined which shall
rule—monopoly or the American people, gold
or manhood. Popular disregard of political
duty, and tolerated, continued political cor
ruption will weaken our government and de
stroy our liberties, for a worm cau eat its wav
through an oak which storm or tcm nest could
not bend, and political dishonesty
will strike where lightning could never reach.
If thib land was worthy that brave ineu
should die for it, tt is at least worthv that un
selfish, thoughtful mea should live and worn
iu graud devotion to ideas for real, true
democracy. Wc come hero not alone to set
tle the question of di uuie in regard to wages
or hours of labor. Wc cmn * here partly t *
study and learn some lesson* of bead and
heart in practical citizenship, To re.*cue
the toiler from the grasp of the selfish
is a work worthy of the noblest and best
of our race. It is to the accom
plishment or that grand object, that
every Knight of Labor should bond Ins every
energy. Lack f success or encouragement
must not disnoarten, defection in irtendsor
raided triends must nor, turn him aside from
his purpose, love of ease must not prevent him
from working. Tho question Is A a kcd, “Why
have you such an organization as the Knight
of Labor?”
WHY THEY ARB KNIGHTS.
We are Knight* of Labor booattse we be
lieve tnat the declaration of independence
moan* sum thing more tha t mere
wolds anil beautiful senteuet*
We arc Knights of Labor because we be
ll v tlnn it ts wrong for an alien
King In onnreo* a peuple, and rob
them. It is also wrong for nt oilier mtn to
o pros* or rob bis fellow er •attires. We are
Knights of Labor because wc believe "to whom
belong* the soil It it his, even unto heaven.”
We are Kmgtitsof Labor because we believe
that the rights of me poorest, humblest ntcu
or women of t and should stand forth more
clearly and bn treated with more respect than
privileges conferred unon or stolen by the
weal blest in tile nation. We arc Knights of
Latter because politician* and political parties
have deceived, degraded and debauched
the people; because they nave too
olden gamed power thrnugn decentlon and
fraud, and in return fir tne eouUdeoce ro
|K>st* l in them they have basely descried Uic
co emo. people and kn”l'. i tbe shrine of
gold. We a oKulghisof Labor beem-e we
believe tutt law and order should nrev dl and
that hull should no founded Inequity. We
ars Knights of Labor because we believe that
a thief who steals a dollar Is no more than a
thief who deals a railroad; that a burglar
who breaks o|icn a house or vault U no
worse than a oriniina! who de
stroys or order* the destrocliou of the
property of a railr i I or telegraph company,
and wc believe that toe same law should
resell out with a dim, unshaken haul, and
pun sh both criminals ucmrdiug to the mag
nitude of their guilt.
LAND STEALS.
We believe that if it is wren* to steal a loaf
of broad it Is also wrong to steal land where
on thu grain was rawed from wnlch toe
bread was made, and on the latt’B which wits
stolen according to a law made bv a dishon
est. time serving politician, Wc believe that
the law should i e repealed and the laud rc
atorod t-< “ tv' iiPc. We arc Kntghi* of Is-
manufactured by the hand of the Amerl
attu laborer ts worthy of protection
I from f..reign competition, tliut the hand
1 whose still lend* the value of tile article
should be protected, and we have determined
to protect our labor, independent ol politi
cians or political parties.
Tho slavery that died twenty years ago was
terrible, but bad as it was it never developed
a millionaire, While tbe new slavery, which
now reaches out with a far stronger baud
ih.n the odd, has developed hundreds of
■ hem. * * true power of the new slave
owner doe* uot cud where the day laborer
bends bruealh his rule. It reaches
out still farther and controls
iho mechanic, farmer, merchant
and manufacturer. It dictates not alouo
what the price ot labor shall be but regulates
the price of tnouey as well. This aew slavery
counts anions Its victims servauts ot thu State
who huve been chosen by the people to exe
cute a people’s will. Not alouo does it con
trol emslaiors at the Stale capital, but in the
halls of our national Gonare* you will ltd iis
most wllllua. cringlup slave. It reaches out
even farther and holds iu its iron grasp the
judge upon the bench. Not that alone,
but it has the power and does
confer judicial ermine on its most sub
servient nrcatures. Do I overestimate Us
power' s J_Jave 1 made a single misstatement?

THE MODBKN SUAVE OWNER.
The lath was stricken from tho hand of the
slave owner of twenty-five years ago, and it
must he taken from the baud of the now slave
owner as well. The monopolist of to-day is
more dangerous Shan the slave owner of the
past.. Monopoly takes the laud from the peo
ple In miUlou-acre plots. It sends its agents
abroad aud brinks hordes ot unedu
cated, desperate men to this country. It
imports ignorance and scatters It broadens’
throughout the laud. It, and it alone, ts re
'Ponsible for every manifestation of anarchy
that our country has witness,d. All men
may not be willing to admit that this state
ment is true, but when monopoly dies no omre
anarchists will he horn uulo tins country, tor
anarebjr is tho legitimate child of monopoly.
While i condemn and denounce deeds of vio
lence committed In the name of labor during
the present year, I am proud to say that the
Knights of labor, as an organization, is
not In any ' way responsible for auoh
conduct. He is a true Knight of Labor who
with one hand dutches anarchy by the threat
and with the other strangles monopoly. We
are told that it Is because ol the importation
of so man- ignorant foreigners that anarchy
has shown Us head ie our country. Rattier la
it true that because of the importation of for
eign airs, manners and grace* by tbe wealthy
we have forgotteu what it is that constitutes
a true citizen qf the ropublio. A man who
still peli*"ve in "the Utile red school house on
the hill” should take one holiday and
visit me mine, factory, coal bleaker and
mill. There, doing the wort of men, will he
Urd tbefutureoitizeusof the republic, breath
ing an atmosphere of dust, iguorauee and
vice. The little red schoiol house must fail to
do its wort properly since the children of the
poor must pass it by on the road lo the work
shop.
DUTY OF THE KNIGHTS.
It is the duty of every Knight of Label'to
atsist in cresting healthy public opinion oa
the subject of labor and the justice of its re
ceiving a full and just share of the values or
capital it has helped to creato. In this wora
wc seek the active, co-operation of ail rigtil
inindwd, bouc. men. Wo won* nut Muliisulv
for ourselves alone, but extend ihe hand of
ant and teHowshlp to all mankind. The lower
down in the eea’e of poverty aud oppression
the greater tbe neod lor our extended hand.
The sentiment which prompts men to uro
clsim to the world that we amalgamate with
none find, no response iu the heart ot the man
who properly interprets hi* obligation as a
member of our order. Every true Knight of
Labor believes with the Divine Teacher, that
“all mankind of every description is his
neighbor.”
in concluding his speech Mr. Powderly
said that some of the members of the
visiting delegation* who werejef u darker
liut* than tneir brother* ootild not find
places in some of the hotels. This was
in accordance with wbat bad long been a
custom here, aud old uuatom* and preju
dices do not reudiiv vanish. There hud
been particular mention made of one in
stance where a delegation numbering
e xtv members had only one colored mem
ber among tbem. lie was refused admis
sion to the hotel where they Intended to
go, and the delegation, standing by the
principle* of the order, which recognize*
no distinction of creed, nationality or
color, went with their colored brother.
That, he said, was wny he made the se
lection oi that brother to Intrcdupe him
to them, so that it might go forth that
they practised what they preached.
At Ih* close of his address .Mr, Powder
ly requested that all those present who
were not delegates should retire, aud
thanked them for having come to the
opening session.
A VOTE OF THANKS TO GOV. I.KK,
Mr. Bennett, of the Itioomond district,
moved a vote or thanas to Gov. Lee, and
after this was heartily and unanimously
given it was followed by a burst of rous
ing cheers lor Virginia’s Governor. All
but delegates than left the hall aud tbe
convention settlea down to practical
work together ami in which they bid fair
to be engaged tor th* next two weexa or
more.
In secret e**ion the only business done
was the appointment of a Committee on
Minor Credentials. Adjournment wus
then taken to 9 o’clock to-morrow morn
ing.
THE CONTESTS.
The Committee on Credentials of the
delegates will probably work till early
rooming. The contests are not numerous,
the principal oris being 'bat ol the Brooklyn
Montauk Protective Association, which
claims to be entitled to a charter for its
local assemblies separate from District
No. 40.
To-night a delegation of tbe Car Mak
ers' LTnion of Baltimore, with n brass
band,inarched to the Governor’s residence
and soretiudsd him anti then to Ford’s
dotal to serenade Mr. Powdorly. Both
tbe Governor and Mr. Powaerly were ab
sent.
Tno Governor occupied a box in the
Richmond Theatre to night with Mrs.
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of
defl'erson Davis, and other friends. Mr.
Powderly, with Messrs. Hates and
Bnilev. of the Executive Committee, and
other Knights, rat in the Opposite box.
The audience cheered Mr. Powderly and
bis party when they entered. Cheer*
also greeted the entrance of tho Governor
ttnd Miss Davis.
THE RACE ISSUE.
The moo Issue raised del
egate Farrell was refused admission to a
hotel, and his white brother delegates of
District No. 49, of New York, refused
to go there without him, lias ap
peared in another shape. Tbe
Knights of Kicomond arranged
(or a parade, tournament ami hall
next Monday in honor of the visiting
Knights, anil a committee of arrange
inenta was appointed.
When the Farrell question arose it be
came h problem bow the hall could be
given without bringing it up in anew and
more vexutioua sbape.
it is contrary to local customs nnd
prejudices to have whites un i blacks at a
ball together. If at the Knight* ball
both be admitted to the same ball, many
white Knights here would refuse to at
tend. If in balls separate the visiting
Knights, especially alter Mr. Powderly’s
redeclaration of principles of equality of
races to day, might refuse Invitations.
Another complication springs up from the
faro that Wm. H. Muller, Master Work
men of th" Rtobmot’d district. I* a oandt-
is strong with the committee, if it is de
cided to admit whites and negroes to the
same ball many of his white supporters
would abandon him. The committee ot
arrangement* held a meeting this evening
and at an eavlv hour in the morning had not
decided what to do. Pending a settle
ment of the question efforts are being
made to keep secret from th 1 visiting
Knights the fact of Us oxisteone, it is
thought possible that, it may result in
lwaviiig the ball out of the program ni c of
the day’* entertainment.
CHAKDKNTOVS OUTLOOK.
The People Making Temporary Hc
puira to Tide Over the Winter.
Charleston, Oct. 4.—Charleston en
ters upon the sixth week of her great
affliction with the name undaunted spirit
and pluck she displayed when she arose
on the morning of Sept. I, dazed and
bleeding from the fearful blow that she
had received the night, before. In the last
two days she has bad a touch of winter,
and some of the inconventenoes of the
situation have just been developed. The
city is ill prepared lor winter. Not three
chimneys out at ten destroyed have been
rebuilt, and tires are, in these houses at
least, a forbidden luxury. Then, too,
there are scarcely a hundred houses in
the city to-day that are habitable with
any degree of oomfort or safety to health.
The plastering has been destroyed In al
most overy sleeping room in almost every
house in the city.
SUMMER HOUSES.
As every one knows, the majority of
houses in Charleston are wlmt may be
called summer houses. When they were
built the builders made no calculation for
winter; hence the great amountof Buffer
ing here during tbe severe freeze ol Janu
ary lust'. It may be easily understood,
then, that the plastering being down, tbe
wintry winds have free play through the
lath* that constitute the sole protection ot
a sleeping room. It may be wondered
how, more than a month haying elapsed,
since tbe earthquake aud so generous a
relief lund having been provided, some
thing has not been done to prepare far
winter. The reason is obvious. In the
first place, tho Relief Committee have un
dertaken the repair* themselves and have
only recently commenced them, the time
having been consumed in getting in the
application* for relief and examining into
their merits. The necessity for this will
be seen when H is known that
men who own as many as twenty
houses have applied for relict.
EXORBITANT CHARGE.*!.
Then again, those who are disposed tn
repair their houses without tbe aid or the
Relief Corumiiteecan hardly afford to pay
$lO a day for plasterers, and this is about
the prevailing rate. A great many peo
ple have resorted to Wood interiors
as less expensive, more comfortable
and less liable to damage. Others
who cannot afford this, and the tenants of
hired bouses are investing largely in old
newspapers, which they tack on tbe walls
and ceilings, and with which they expect
to bs able to go through the winter. A
visitor to Charleston, therefore, will be
struck by the literary, not to eay primi
tive, sty le df interior decorations which
will meet his eye.
Another difficulty which stares us in
the face Is tne want of water. Nearly ail
thte cisterns in the city have gone dry In
consequence of tho long drought, there
having been no substantial rainfall for
over seven weeks and the water company
being unable to supply the entire city
with artesian water.
BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
flere, however, the people are between
two fires, an to speak Very few houses
arc in condition to stand a heavy rain,
and vet tbe people are pinched lor water.
It is an embarrassing situation.
Yesterday the city was alive with vis
itors from the North atul elsewhere. The
Atlantic Coast Line excursion, tho pro
ceeds of which are to be given to the re
lief lund,brought 82S people from the inte
rior of this Stale and Southern North
Carolina, and 003 from points North, a
total of 928 excursionists. It is expected
that the proceeds will add over $5,000 to
the fund, which now amount* to about
S4'K),OOO, it is said.
There have been no shocks here since
Friday last.
To-day passed without the slightest
shook, anu tbe feeling is that tbe disturb
ances have entirely ceased. The weather
has been cloudy, with ruin indications.
The temperature i* higher and tbe con
ditions generally are favorable for the
work of reparation, which is being en
ergeticaHy and generally prosecuted.
Applications for relief in repairing
property are still coming In
slowlv, nnd aa fast as examined
and the house* inspected, money Is ad
vanced and the work of repair begun.
The committee have fixed Oct. 9 as the
lost day for receiving applications, when
the work will progress rapidly. Presi
dent Cleveland ha* sent s2(l to tbe Con
federate Home, accompanied by a sym
pathetic letter.

GERONiSIO’S SUKKKNDLU.
Conflicting Opinions as to Gen.
Miles’ Course.
Washington, Oot. 4.—lt is stated offi
cially at tho War Department that noth
ing ha* been determined upon In regard
to the surrender of Geronimo and that
the department is still lacking informa
tion upon which to base any action.
Gen. Miles’ failure to Iranklv avow at,
the outset that he had granted liberal
terms to iho captives is severely criticised.
It iu now understood that the instruc
tions given to Oen. Cook not to
accept the surrender of tho Apaohes.
unless they came in without conditions,
were transmitted to Gan. Miles ior his in
formation and guidance. These instruc
tions were Inspired by the desire of the
President to undertake anew policy ol
dealing with the renegade Indian ma
rauders, which policy contemplated their
trial by the civil courts and their prompt
punishment for tho crimes they bud com
mitted.
A REQUISITION.
A requisition, it Is understood, ha* al
ready linen made by the Governor of Ari
zona upon the Governor ol Texas for tho
surrender of Geronimo lor trial, but under
the terms of the surrender the President
cannot permit the chiet to bs surren
dered to either Governors. Gen. Miles
has defenders among the authorities
us well as critics, and it
Is urged in justification of his course that
it Is better to have possession ol tho Indi
ans, eveu If tho opportunity of making an
example of tbem, to deter others from fol
lowing In their lootsteps, bo lost, than to
permit them to go on indefinitely in their
course of murder.
. A CONFLICT OF OPINION.
There is a ooutltet of opiniou and state
ment in reapnet to ihe condition of tbe
Apaches wbeu they cm me in. It has been
said that they were reduced to the lowost
point of futiguo and privation and that
their surrender was tho result. This,
in the absence of official informa
tion, is not everywhere credited.
Officers who know ihe Apache*
well assert that the kind of life they
have been leading latterly is their normal
state, that women aooompau.ed them
everywhere, aud that children were horn
and thrived while troops were in hot pur
suit; in short, that Iho savage* were as
well prepared when they surrendered lor
continuing their raids as they were a
year ago.
THRIVING ON MISFORTUNES.
The surrender and cessation of hostili
ties is said to be a sad blow to a certain
clasa ol whites upon both sides of the lire
—men who made merchandise of the mis
fortune* of the saltiers, who scoured vulu
able mining and rnnob properties (or a
fraction of their value in consequence ot
the terror inspired by the savages, und
whu would have supplied tbe latter with
means to carry on their murderous work
indefinitely. Lieut. Gatewood, the officer
to wnorn the Indian* first surrendered,
ha* not yet been heard from ’ hrough any
channel with respect to the conditions
granted to the prisoners.

Washington, Oot 4. —ChiefUlerk You

proving a very clever official. Ordinarily
the Chlel Clerk ol the Treasury Depart

that tho sanitary condition of the depart

chtii' nls report of the conference last
Thursday between Gen. Kaulhars and 114
Bulgarian notatile* headed by the doctor,
who oalled upon the Russian agent td
request modifications in Russia’s do<

groans for Russia. Dr. Voultobeff pros
posed and tue meeting adopted a resolu
tion declaring con tide nee 111 the govern,
meat and assurance to it of moral and
national support so lone as it continued
to maintain the independence of Bulgaria
and the constitution and laws of tic a
country.
A STORMV INCIPKNT.
During the proceedings a Russian arose*
and shouted, “bong live the Czar” and!
“Down with the government.” He was*
at once set upon by the audience andl
roughly handled, nnd would probably
have been killed it polioe bad uot rescued
him and conducted him to a placo of
satety. While the proceedings were
In progress Gen, Kaulhars suddenly
anil unexpectedly appeared and mounted!
ibo tribune. His appeaipiuce made ft
sensation. The audience became quiet
and respectful. He addressed them and
sab! he was there to express the Czar'si
desire. Hu was at once loudly inter!
nipled by shouts of “We waut no
We will listen to advice if it is good.”
KA r I.lt Alls' AGAIN INTERRUPTED.
Gen. Kaulbars, when order bad Been
restored,continued,saying: “1 have beard
that a Russian has been beaten!
because he cheered for the Czar.” Here
there were Iresb Interruptions and sboute
oil “The man was not beaten for cheer!
lug lor the Czar, but because he cried:
•Down with Bulgaria!’ The same fata
will betall all ssying the sauvt
thing.” Gen. Kaulhars ihen attempted
to explain these points in the Russian de
mands. The crowd cried out that tbev>
would receive no orders. Among thu
shouts were: “The state of siege hag
already been raleed.” “Political prison
ers will not be released.” “The people
will stone them If they are (reed.” “Thg
electiou will not be adjourned.” “The
law must, be respected, otherwise progress
is impossible.”
K 4UI,BARS MAD.
When the crowd had ceased shouting.
Gen. Kaulhars declared that tne Czar!
would refuse, unless the elections wer
postponed, to recognize the Great Hohranjg
elected to choose a successor to Prince
Alexander. Tbe audience again became
tumultuous. They shouted at Gen. Kaul
bars: “We don’t care. We will stone
whoever violates tbe constitution.” Gen,
Kaulhars’ patience linally became ex
hausted, and, in u menacing tone, ha
threw the responsibility (or refusing
to listen to Russia’s advice on tbe coun
try. “Tbe Bulgarians as a cation,” be
said, “do not desirsj the constitution.
• inly a few men in the country want one.’*
Tbe shouting here became most violent,
and Gen. Kaulhars was compelled to
withdraw (rent the tribune.
AN ORATOR FROM THE PEOPLE.
A popular orator immediately ascendedr
It, and asked the people if it were true that
they desired to abolish tbs constitution.
The crowd loudly protested that it was
not true, and made threats against any
one who ahould attempt, to tamper witta
the constitution. A committee was ap*
pointed to go to Premier RudostavolT’s resl*
ilenee and present him wuh a copy of tb
resolution adopted and the meeting then
adjourned.
