Congratulating l*o wit Ctrl y on Ills I'osltlou on
the “Slgger Question."
Richmond, Va., October 12.—The
Knights of Labor convention met at 9
o’clock this morning and took hold of the
business presented with a determination
to push it through, and at lenst make an
endeavor to bring the session to a clo.se
within the two weeks allotted as the time
the convention should sit. Since the ad
journment of the assembly on Saturday
the various committees have been actively
engaged in considering the matters refer
red to them. The forenoon session was
mainly occupied in receiving reports from
these committees and taking action on
them.
The sessions of the convention were to
day interrupted by the workmen taking
possession of the hall to prepare for the
concert to be given there to-night by the
First Massachusetts regiment drum, fife
and bugle corps for the joint benefit of the
Phil Kearney post memorial fund and the
Camp Soldiers 1 Home. The band accom
panies the John A. Andrews post. G. A. R.,
of Boston, now here on a visit.
During the morning session the report
of the committee on law v/as presented,
it recommended a change in the constitu
tion by which the executive board shall
consist of a general master workman and
six members, no two of whom shall be
from the same state. This part of the re
port was adopted. It was also recom
mended that
THE OFFICE OF GENERAL SECRETARY AND
TREASURER RE DIVIDED.
No action was taken on this part pf the
report before adjournment. It w;is stated
that amendments to the constitution were
in order, but owing to the lateness of the
hour none were presented. The assembly
at 1 o’clock adjourned until to-morrow
morning. This afternoon and evening the
committees will continue to work on reso
lutions, etc., awaiting presentation to the
assembly.
COST OF THE CONVENTION.
Unless the convention takes the bull by
the horns by throwing parliamentary
rules to the winds, as it iias already done,
and forgets for the time being that ail men
are equal, the tenth annual assembly will
have proved on expensive luxury for the
men who pay the bills. These are the
men who stay at home and work. They
may think their representatives are taking
matters at their ease, for practically noth
ing has been done in the last week except
to demonstrate that self is the ruling spirit
and that the ramifications of the home
club are of wide extent. Many
of the western delegates already talk
of returning to their homes. They
can only expect pay for two weeks. They
have been here a week,and the trip to and
from Richmond will almost occupy the
rest of the time. It is estimated tiiat the
convention costs the workingmen who
send representatives to it nearly $5000 per
day. One western delegate thus explained
the fact that he was the only representative
from his assembly: “It cost the assembly
$300 to send me; it isn’t made up of mil
lionaires.” As the convention will do little
work before Wednesday it will by that
time have cost not a great deal less than
$50,000. Its holiday cost its constituents
about $5000. These are the estimates of
Knights of Labor.
It is not the revision of the constitution,
a matter of importance, perhaps, to many,
but the election of officers, which will
probably result to the advantage of the
few, that occupies the attention of a great
majority of the delegates. Every step
taken by the ruling faction is carefully
considered beforehand with regard to its
effect upon the election.
Powderly claims that the convention is
a harmonious body, yet knights who lis
tened to him say that, in speaking of the
founders of the order, immediately before
adjournment yesterday, he begged the con
vention to think of the toiling masses re
turning from a hard day’s work, “while
we are' quarreling here.” They say, too,
tiiat he had tears in his eyes when he made
the appeal, lie is the strong man of the
order to-day, but the expression, “This is
Powderly’s last term,” is a common one in
the mouths of knights, but never of
knights who are in sympathy with the
Home Club.
A»w in*intrtim i .
Richmond, Va., October 12.- There was
a meeting to-day of the editors of labor
■ papers anil other newspaper men who are
delegates to the convention. Frank K.
Foster, of Averill, Mass., was elected
chairman, and Albert Pine, of Hartford,
Conn., secretary. The object of the organ
ization is the formation of a labor news
bureau, through which au.lientie informa
tion with regard to labor matters can
be transmitted to the country.
Every member of the organization
will furnish every other member with all
the news that iie obtains. This bureau
will interfere in no way with the establish
ment of the labor journal proposed b.y A.
M. Dewy, which it is understood a major
ity of the convention favors. Machinists,
blacksmiths, miners, shoemakers and rep
resentatives of various other trades and
industries in the convention, also held
meeting to-day to devise better means of
inter-communication and co operation.
A committee of three was appointed to
make a collection of the conspiracy laws
of several states, by means of which firms
and companies encroach on the rights oi
workingmen. The committee is also to
collect evidence going to show that em
ployers have entered into conspiracies
against workmen, and to institute suit
against such employers under conspiracy
laws in all cases where proofs are obtain
able. The general executive -board held a
meeting to-day to hear the cases that have
been presented to it, but took no action
on any of them. It has more than 12,000
cases waiting its decision, and these do not
include all that are to be brought before it.
The board vyill meet again during the first
recess taken by the general assembly. Re
ports have been published to the effect
that the convention can take no action
upon the various constitutional amend
ments which have been proposed, tor
the reason the constitution of
the order requires that such
amendment shall be submitted to the local
assemblies at least sixty days before their
presentation to the general assembly, and
this has not been done. Mr. Powderly and
the members of the executive board say J
such reports are untrue; that the consti
tution requires that the local assemblies
desiring to offer amendments shall present
them to the general secretary or
treasurer sixty days before the convening
of the general assembly. The amendments
now in the hands of the committee oil law
were presented to the last convention at
Hamilton, Ontario, so that instead of sixty
day’s notice a year's notice has been given.
This question was brought up in the con-
I’OLUMBUS, GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER
I volition to-day, and the chairman ruled
I and was sustained in liis ruli i . v the gen-
i era! assembly that the c««. • ■ button of the
order can be revised at Ed. session.
| Air. Powderly to day rcciived the follow- 1
iug telegram from Thomas li. Hurry, a
member of t lie executive co iniii: ti e sent
to Chicago to endeavor to settle the strike
of the employes of the pork packers in
that city: “Packers say they have no or
ganization, so 1 must treat with them us
individual companies. We called on sev- \
end firms yesterday, and they all expressed 1
a desire for n settlement, but insisted on
working ten hours, while the men are firm '
for eight hours. We look for a settlement
this week.”
Mr. Powderly has received almost hourly
to-day telegrams eommouding the position
he lias taken in his letter on the race ques
tion.

THE HUSTLING WINDS.
Ilmv They Him*.touted Forces with the Waves mid
Arc Spoiling the Cities.
| New Orleans, October 12.—The easter
ly winds which have prevailed for the
| past few days caused lake Poutchitrain to
! fill with water from the gull' and a gale
yesterday from the same direction caused
nil increase of the lake tide water, over-
i flowing the marshes in the rear of the city
1 and filling the canal’s banks full. A break
in the old basin levee on Broad street was
reported at midnight last night. Thu
velocity of the wind was 36 to 40 miles per
hour aud increasing.
New Orleans, October 12.—The east
erly gale continues, but little damage has
been done in the city. The Lake and Shell
roads are submerged. Mieneberg and
Spanish Fort are flooded. At Shell Beach
tlie water is a foot deep on the railroad
track, and the inhabitants nearly all left
for the city last night. The Louisville and
Nashville road, from Micheaud to Pearl
river, is inundated aiul several bad wash
outs are reported. The company is mak
ing efforts to keep the rails in line. The
telegraph wiies along this section of the
road are all down.
Telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires suffered considerable damage from
last night's storm. There were no trains
in or out of this city over the Louisville
and Nashville road to-day Several wash
outs are reported along the submerged sec
tions between Meeheaud station and
| Pearl river. A transfer of passengers and
j mails by this route will be made by boat
I between Milneburg and Pearl river.
The Storm ill Galveston.
| Galveston, Tex., October 12.—Tlie
j storm which was reported by the signal
service as entering the Gulf of Mexico last
I Saturday night reached Galveston, Texas,
; and at this time (8 p. m.i a heavy gale is
| blowing from tlie north. Symptoms of a
! coming storm were apparent last night
j and a brisk breeze which set in at an early
| hour this morning has gradually
increased until it is now blowing
I 45 miles an hour. Tlie tide on the gulf
j side of the island has been very high ever
J since Saturday, and the waves were so
I powerful to-day that they washed along I
the streets for five squares right in the j
] teetli of the gale from the north. This
extraordinary tide is undoubtedly |
due to the hurricane prevailing
I in tlie West Indies, and the north- |
i ern gale lias done much towards i
checking encroachment of the gulf on the j
■ island. On the bay side of the city the
I water is very high and is washing over the I
| docks. The damage to shipping will j
| doubtless be heavy, as half a hundred
| large steamships and sailing vessels are
I pounding against the wharves. The
I water is constantly rising
j in the bay, and is encroaching on tlie city
for a square or so; but no danger is appre
hended to business property. Two barges
from Houston, each lad-.-n with 1000 bales
of' cotton, are being submerged by the
waves, and the cotton will be ruined.
Along the gulf side the waves have lorn up
1 the street railway track and submerged
I several houses.
The barometer has fallen sixty points
since 7 o’clock this morning, indicating
that the storm centre is very near Gal
veston. Telegraph communication with
; the main land will probably he entirely
1 suspended before morning, as the gale
seems to increase in velocity every nio-
• incut. Since sunset the wind has shifted
i slightly to tlie west. The storm is now
I coining from the north west and is blowing
i fiercely.

that he saw Mr. E. C. Bruffy present, and
would take occasion to remark tiiat the
law gave the board the right to sit with
closed doors when discussing or voting
upon the trial of any officer; that on one
occasion Mr. Bruffy had been allowed to
remain, and the next morning the session
was published in detail. Mr. Bruffy took
umbrage at the accusation, and re
marked that he did not divulge
anything that occurred in secret
session and that the facts referred to by
Mayor Hillver were obtained from two of
the commissioners after the board ad
journed. Mr. Bruffy then left the meeting,
although importuned to remain, lie was
in no pleasant humor as he went down
stairs. When Station house Keeper Buch
anan inquired about the affair, Mr. Bruffy
replied in a manner that forced Mr. Buch
anan to make a case against him. Bruffy
feels that he has been deeply wronged, and
t hat the mayor is mad because he does
not allow him to edit the local department
of the Constitution. “BrufF ’ don’t let any
one set down on him. A few months ago

very near and dear to the corps of local

Washington, October 12.—The pro
posed permanent exposition of the “Three
Americas,” to open here in 1S02, is rapidly
taking shape, and the board of promotion
in charge of the prospect are already en
couraged beyond expectations by the grat
ifying response > from all over the country
and with t he progress already made. The
project contemplates first, a constitutional
centcnni.il celt lira! ion at. Washington in
1892 by the sixteen American republics in
honor of the 100th anniversary of t he con
stitution of the parent republic- the
United States. Second, a world’s exposi
tion at Washington in 1892 in honor of the
400t*i anniversary of the discovery
of America by Columbus. Third, a per
manent exposition at Washington of the
resources of arts and industries of the
three Americas. The permanent part of
this project does not mean a pernmiwnl
fair or private exhibition; it means that
the “American museum,” “American art
gallery,” “the governmental exhibits by
the fifteen Spanish-American republics,
the state and territorial exhibits of the
forty-six states and territories of the
United States, and other features of the
proposed world’s exposition of 1892 will
remain permanently at the national cap
ital, in form somewhat similar to the
present National museum and probably
under the same management—that of the
Smithsonian institution.” The popularity
of this project is apparent from the
hundreds ot letters already received by
Secretary Anderson of the board of promo
tion from forty-one states and territories.
These are from governors of states, mayors
of cities, presidents and secretaries of
boards of trades throughout the United
Sta&% and of state agricultural so
cieties, all of whom accept the appoint
ment as members ex-officio of the exposi
tion board of promotion, and promise their
co-operation in perfecting the enterprise.
The fundamental idea underlying this
project is more intimate commercial rela
tions between the several sister nations
exhibited to 12,000 people to-day, and it is pf the three Americas. Its strength
conceded to be the best show ever in the in congress may be inferred from

A Hay of Variations Caused in Part by the Labor i

New York, October 12.—News on the
stock exchange was almost entirely until- I
vorable in its character, and related chiefly
to strikes at different points. Uncertainty
and delay in the formation of pools at Chi
cago also served to distress values and con
tinued to the close. The w orking of the
money market was also a factor in the de
cline. Tlie Pacific Mail was again the
leading weak stock, and stories of the Pan
ama Railway Company against, the Pacific
Mail and rumors of* an intent ion on the
part of the former to refuse freight from
the latter were used with effect. The
prices at the opening were some
what irregular, but general. There were
lower declines ranging from A to jj. But
New York and New England were 1
higher. Trading was comparatively quiet
and prices were weak in the early deal
ings. Later the market was marked by a
considerable decline and narrow fiuetu i-
tions, prices making little progress in
either direction until the last hour, when
a general decline took place which was
checked just previous to the close, which
was weak at the lowest figures of the day.

New York, October 11.--Seated on a
divan, with legs crossed in true Oriental
fashion, in a room redolent with the per
fume or fresh American Bowers, Samuel
S. Cox, envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary of the United States to
Turkey, received callers yesterday. He
was brown as a butternut and happy as a
clam. Ilis bright eyes twinkled and the
handsome tassel depending from his real
Turkish fez danced back and forth like the
pendulum of an old-fashioned clock in a
most delighted and delightful way as his
quick ears caught the sound of American
carriages rumbling by an American resi
dence through an American street.
Accompanied by Mrs. Cox, he had just
arrived on a French steamer La Cham
pagne, and proceeded at once to Ins house
on East Twelfth street. He had barely
time 1o inllate his lungs with business-like
American air and sing tlieehorusof“iiome,
Sweet Home,” before politicians b gun to
arrive, all anxious to learn what he in
tended doing. After supplying them with
as much of the desired informat ion as he
deemed best Mr. Cox received bis news
paper friends.
“Clad to get back ?” said lie, “of course
1 am, but I have to nay dearly for it, i have
got what is called tlie ‘Paris grip. 1 It’s a
I kind of cold that affects the throat so that
| l can hardly speak. 1 caught it as I was
coming over the mountains toward Paris
and it has not left me yet. Just be
particular and state 1 have this ‘grip’ if no
j other. Now, young man, what 1 am about
j to tell you I want you to get straight. No
, one has so far. The talk about me or any
j of my friends being arrested in Conblunti-
I nople is all false. These are the facts:
Several years ago my wile while abroad
mot the Princess Nazli, a most charming
and beautiful woman, and a granddaughter
of Mahomet Ali, and a cousin of the
khedive of Egypt. When we took up our
residence on the island of Prinkipo, the
Newport of Turkey, we discovered the
Princess Nazli there also. M.v wife called
at once. The princess being a woman
of rpyal birth claims the right to
receive just whom she pleased. I
have called on her myself. A few
days after, we invited her to take a sail
with us in our launch. She consented and
we drove to the quay together. When my
coachman was returning he was arrested
because of a law in Constantinople that no
woman of noble birth shall be see . driving
with foreigners. As soon as we returned
and were told of the arrest 1 went at once
and ordered the coachman's release, and
being a minister of the United States the
authorities did it pretty quick, I tell you.
This is all there was to it. There was no
scandal. The lady was not molested in the
least, and I met her many times after
wards.”
“Is the report true that you have come
back to be a candidate iLr mayor?
“There is no truth in that report at all.
i have no such intention whatever, neither
have I the ambition, and do not think i
have the ability. Kindly deny that report
| in toto. What do 1 think of Mr. George’s
| chances? Well, I can hardly say. In
I theory he is all right, and from what J
| know a very careful and thoughtful man.
I But what he would be in practice is an
other thing. You can never tell what a
j man can do. No one ever thought 1 would
j be a diplomat. I did not think so myself,
I but it seems to me I got there about as
* well as the rust of them. There is one
I thing about Mr. George’s candidacy that I
I fear. He may break the democrat ic party
and help the republicans to elect the
■ mayor. George is sure to -poll a large
j vote, and it will come from the.demoeratie
| ranks.”
I “What, then, are your own intentions?”
j “There is only one tiling] may do and
I that is to go to congress. I will go to
Washington and settle my official business
! so as to leave everything clear. Then if
j the ninth district--no other, mind you
I offers me the nomination I may accept,
i But I have not resigned my position as
; minister as yet. The reason i am back is
because I got restless away off t here and
! wanted to see home again. I aiso desire to
j consult wit h Mr. Bayard and see what the
, administration thinks of my work. So far
l as I know they are very well pleased. If
i everything is satisfactory and certain com
mercial matters arc arranged between tlie
two governments I may go back.”

St. Petersburg, October 12. — The
newspapers of this city are unanimously of
the opinion that decisive action by Russia
in regard to Bulgaria is imperative. The
Journal de St. Petersburg says: “The event
justified Russia in urging the postpone
ment of the election in Bulgaria until the
passions of tlie people had cooled from
the late excitement,’' and adds that “it
can be readily understood why Russia re
fuses to recognize or sanction the assem

Boulanger's Two Papers.
PARIS, October 12.—There is a vivid
growth of the war feeling in France. The
Boulanger party has begun the issue of two
new journals, La Revantehe and Le Said at.
Le Saldat is to advocate an offensive pol
icy in vindication of the old military pres
tige of France. General Boulanger, how
ever, disowns any connection with the
papers. M. Lavedon. a military critic,
writes to the Figaro that General Boulan
ger has prepared a well conceived plan in
conjunction with staff officers of high rank
for the continental campaign. Th'Mili-
taire says that General Boulanger desires
war, not for the purpose of recovering
Alsace, nor to gratify personal ambition,
but as a step leading to the solution of
social questions. The strictest taboo £>f
everything German is being observed. M.
Lockrey, minister of commerce, has or
dered the police to prosecute all persons
selling boxes of toys imported from Ger
many and containing a map of France
without Alsace.

ex-minister to Mexico, leaves here for his
home near Atlanta, Ga., this morning. He
said to a reporter last night that he had
nothing more to do with the Cutting case.
The matter is in the hands of the state de
partment at Washington, and will be dis
posed of there. Since my resignation I, of
course, have had no connection with the
matter, and I cannot say how Mr. Cutting’s
case now stands. About Mr. Sedgewick
and his alleged escapade in the City ot
Mexico Gen. Jackson refused positively to
say anything.

many things J had done by special per

“How does the eastern question look to
vou ?”
“ Matters at present look v< ry blue.
War is liable to occur at any mommit. To
explain the situation properly would take
some time. ‘Russia wants Constantinople,’
is the old saying and this time sin.* will get
pretty near there. She first wants Bul
garia and is near getting it. Her hostility
to Prince Alexander was well known, lie
was made to run, but came back again.
The next time he must have thought
there was no use fighting Russian influ
ence, so lie went away of his own free will-
This, f think, was very foolish. The peo
pie were all with him and he might just
as well have remained. Now iiussia will
get Bulgaria, then Eastern Rouinelia, and
I she is over the Balkans and within
I a stone’s throw of Constanti-
, nople. The treaty of Berlin says Russia
| must stop at the mountains, hut what does
! she care for this? Did she not fortify
| Batoum right in the face of Europe and
the treaty? England, to he sure, made a
: slight protest, but what good did it do?
Of course, when Russia makes this move
there will be a great row. Austria is look-
i ing with envious eyes on part of that terri-
i tory, and if she can get Germany’s help
she will fight for it. When we were at
Bucharest the streets were full of Russian
i officers, who talked very loudly about
| what they would do. I expect war at any
day.
“Have I done any literary work? Yes,
a little. I have written two small books,
called ‘My Summer at Prinkipo’ and
‘Among the Princes Isles; or, the Diver
sions of a Diplomat.’ I do not know,
though, that I will publish either of them
as yet.”
Mr. Cox will go to Washington to-day
