Fou r Hundred Men Were In the Mill
Before the Whiatle Blew—The Rest
Gave in When They Saw That the
jig Was Given Up.
Homestead, Pa.. Au. B.—The strikers
at Duquesne went to work this morning and
tb* Carnegie Steel Company has scored one
victory. On Saturday Supt. Morrison
posted a notice to the elf cot that all men who
had applied for their old jobs should report
at the mill at 7 o’clock this morning as the
mill would resume at that hour. Long be
fore the time set, however, workers with
dinner pails quietly stole up unfrequented
streets and along the railroad traoks and
entered the mill unobserved by their fellow
strikers. As 7 o’clock approached the num
ber of men who had entered the mill yard
through this means numbered 400.
results in a stampede.
About sixty men who were leaders In the
sympathy strike movement gathered on
the road near the mill gate and watched in
inoodv silence the men going in to work.
Finally the mill whistle blew for 7 o’clock.
At that a large Irishmen exclaimed in a
loud voice: “Well, men, the jig Is up; we
had better hustle for our old places." This
was the signal for a panio and the entire
crowd ran toward the gate. A freight
train was backed in front of the gate, but
the men did not wait for it to be moved,
hut scrambled over and under it in their
frantic haste to get inside the mill before
the whistle stopped blowing. It was a
complete stampede.
ROUGH ON THE ASSOCIATION.
The men were organized into the amalga
mated association at no little expense and
they went out on the sympathy strike move
ment about two weeks ago. By their sur
render they are expelled from the amalga
mated association and the Carnegie (com
pany has two non-union mills. The effect
of the break at Duquesne cannot but prove
harmful to the men at Homestead, although
the leaders will not believe it. The Du
quesne steel billets can be sent to Home
stead to be rolled into plates by non-union
men, so that the firm will be in far better
condition to fill its oontracts and prosecute
its fight here.
BTRSATOR RE-ELECTED COLONEL.
Col. James B. Streator was to-night re
elected to .his position in the Tenth
regiment, his term having expired. Col.
tit; eator became famous for bis connection
with Private lams’ case. The re-election is
an indorsement by all of Isms’ companions
in arms of the punishment meted out to
him. lams was in Homestead and after
the election three hearty cheers were
heard from the provisional brigade across
the river. The discharged private inquired
the reason and was greatly ohagrined when
he learned the truth. The re-election of
Col. Btreator apparently gives the greatest
•Rtiftfaction among: the militiamen bur©.
The entire camp gave three cheers when
the election was made known.
The advisory committee gave out to-day
that since Saturday between 150 and 180
non-union men have left the works. The
oommittee is not surprised over the Du
quesne surrender, It having been expected
for a week. There ts no discouragement
here in consequence. The Duquesne mill
was running in full this evening and there
is much rejoiciug there among the mer
chants. A few Homestead men were near
the mill gate at 7 o’clook to-night and hissed
the men when they came out. There was
no violenoe, though.
MORE ARRESTS TO BE MADE.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. B.—Secretary
Lovejoy, of the Carnegie company,
announces that before the week is out
a Jarge number of additional arrests of
strikers will be made on charges of riot and
murder. The amalgamated association
leaders say they also intend to bring addi
tional charges against members of the firm
and Pinkertons.
The sensation of the day at Carnegie's
upper Union mills was the resignation of the
mght puddling boss, Richard Nichols. He
has been in the employ of the company for
eighteen years, and was one of the most
trusted workmen about the mill. Immedi
ately after leaving the works,he went to the
amalgamated headquarters, where he 6tated
that the step he had taken was due to the
fact that his work had been made extremely
Unpleasant since the strike had been In
augurated. He saya he has been shifted
from one position and station to another
until the work has simply become unbear
able.
FAILED TO START.
In connection with the workings of the
mill, he said that the 18 or 20-inoh mills did
no * star t to-day as was reported. The
strikers, he said, gained a victory this morn
tug by inducing two of the best heaters to
leave the mill. In regard to the number of
m* n who were working, he stated that there
was less that at any time slnoe the strike
oegan, and before the plant can be success
tuny operated It will be necessary to make
some repairs. The acquisition of Richard
luchi.l* was greatly encouraging to the
inkers. The steamer Tide was busy tak

KING'S LAST chance.
An Appeal to the Governor to Com
mute the Sentence.
Nashville, Am. B.—A special from
Chattanooga says: “Senator Harris passed
through hers yesterday en route to Nash
ville to intercede with Got. Buchanan for
commutation of the death sentence of Col,
H. Clay King.”
HIS ONLY HOP*.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 8. —There are two
possible anchors of hope for H. Clay King,
but It la probable that one of those has been
out away. His friends may haye recourse
to the United States supreme court, but
from actions of the attorneys and also from
the opinion that that application was made
to the supreme court for a writ of error be
fore steps were taken in the fed
eral court at Nashville, this
avenue of escape from the gallows
Is olosed. The friends of King have only
one more road leading from death by the
rope, and John P. Buchanan bolde a gate
across it. None of his friends are so san
guine as to hope for Col. King’s pardon by
the governor, but his friends and lawyers are
trying to secure commutation of his sen
tence to life imprisonment.
petitions to the governor.
Judgo Greer left for Nashville to-night
with a batch of petitions to lay boforo the
Sovernor, and this morning Hon. C. B.
[itched of theoounoil for King visited the
jail and spent half an hour with the con
demned prisoner. King was in better spir
its after the departure of Mr. Mitch
ell, and tho lawyer gave out the
information that he had great
hope that King would be permitted to spend
the rest of his days in the penitentiary. He
will probably leave for Nashville to-night.
After the departure of Mitchell, Mr. Brook?,
King’s son-in-law, oalled at the jail and
spent some time with him. In the mean
time the construction of the scaffold will be
commenced on Wednesday in the jail yard.
The death-watch will be put on Col. King
to-morrow or next day.

President Lelva Charters a Steamer
and Convene Her Into a War Vessel.
Troops Sent on Her to Puerto Cortes:
and the Battle Fought There—Plans
of the Rebels Betrayed.
New Orleans, Aug. B.— The steamship
City of Dallas arrived yesterday afternoon
with the latest intelligence of the revolution
in Spanish Honduras. It appears that the
government onoe mor e has the upper band
and that President Lelva and his cabinet
will remain in control. He has
chartered the steamship Spazetta
a New Orleans vessel, and has converted it
into a worship, loading the ship with
troops. It departed recently from Puerto
Cortez to attack Ceiba. It la reported that
a pitohed battle was fought at Ceiba be
tween resident revolutionists and the gov
ernment troops, in whloh the latter were
victorious.
bombarded from the ship.
The vessel is said to have con
tributed materially to the result by
bombarding the revolutionists with
some light ordnance with which it had
been armed. The bombardment dlelodged
the rebels and they fled in disorder to the
forests. The government is reported to
have been reinforced by the addition of a
band of insurgents who deserted Gan.
Nuila and marched Into Puerto Cortez. The
commander of this band disclosed the
movements of the revolutionists.
FLANS OF THE REBELS.
They intended to secretly inarch Into
Cayawaga on Aug. 4 and capture the city.
In the event of success they would bombard
aud destroy all the pubUo buildings and
Presidont Leiva'sresidence, and in addition
empty thq coffers of the treasury and burn
all the important papers they could lay
their hands on. Bpies were in communica
tion with Nuila daily and the plan was well
laid and would have overthrown the gov
ernment had it not been for the informa
tion received. The news was dispatched to
I’resident Lelva and others and a largo
force is now guarding tho oapital.
MOORE MAY BE OUSTED
Negroes Demand the Removal of
Washington’s Chief of Police.
Washington, Aug. B.— William Moore
(colored) of the Washington Light Infantry
corps is major and superintsndeut of police
for the District of Columbia, having been
appointed as a democrat by the commission
ers of the district under the last adminis
tration and retained on account of his effi
ciency and popularity by the new board of
distriot commissioners under the present
administration. The local republicans have
long been restive because they could not
get this $8,500 office for one of their num
ber. Recently, it appears from tho statement
of one of tnem made publio to-day. tney

they will have Coi. Moore out and a
republican named Frank Aldrich la Oct. 1.
MILLER BROWBEATEN.
The Attorney Gentral was induced to in
terfere, acoordlng to this statement, by
threats made by Frederick Douglass
and other colored republican leaders that
they would bold a mass meeting and de
nounce the administration for retaining as
chief of police a democrat aud further, a
democrat who throughout showed a con
stant antipathy toward the colored race.
In support of this latter oharge they alleged
discrimination against colored people by the
members of the polioe force. The Attorney
General promised, they say, that Col.
Moore should go and accordingly they did
not hold their mass meeting. But if Col.
Moore doee not go they will carry out their
threat.

WASHINGTON DESERTED.
Secretary of Stats Foster the Only
Cabinet Officer In Town.
Washington, Aug. B. Officially this
city is practically deserted, Secretary of
State Foster being the sole representative
of the cabluet here. At the white house
things wore a decidedly abandoned appear
ance, owing to the absence of the President
and his family and the usual summer over
hauling of the building, whioh is now being
done. The carpets have been taken up and
aired, the furniture completely hidden with
white linen, and over the huge clmudeliers
folds of netting hang to protect them during
the hot weather.
At the war department. Secretary Elkins
having gone to Deec Park to visit his
family. Assistant Secretary Grant presides
at tbe head of the department.
The affairs of the navy are looked after
by Assistant Secretary Soley in tbe absence
of Secretory Tracy who is north, while
Attorney General Miller, Postmaster
General Wanaroker. Secretary Noble and
Secretary Rusk are all away.
Assistant Secretary of State Wharton
returned this morning from Tuxedo aud
was at his desk later in tbe day.
The warm weather has bad tbe effect of
causing the different departments to be
closed an hour earlier than usual, and
altogether the withdrawal of congress, the
President and his cabinet, hss caused tbe
city to assume an air of dullness so far as
concerns official business.
APPROPRIATIONS BY CONGRESS.
Holman Refutes a Charge of Extrava
gance by tbe Democrats.
Washington, Aug. B,—By authority of
the House of Representatives Representa
tive Holman will priut a speech in the
Congretsional Record to-morrow dealing
with the appropriations made at tbe last
session of congress from ademooratic stand
point. Mr. Holman’s statement differs ma
terially from that made by Senator Alli
son’s last week. He says: “Ihe appropria
tions made at this session of congress, in
cluding permanent appropriations, show a
reduction of $83,539,291 under the ap
propriations made at tho last session
of the last congress, or a reduction equal
to SIOO,OOO to each oongresst nal district in
the United States. But for the purposes of
comparison the amount of the river and
harbor bill, $21,158,618, should be deducted
from the appropriations of this session for
tbe reason that no river and harbor bill
was passed at the last session of congress,
against the appropriations of which those
made at this session should be logically con
trasted, without the river and harbor bill
appropriations made at tbe second session
of the Fifty-first congress."
HOLMAN’S CONCLUSIONS.
This is how Mr. Holman reaches bis con
clusions: Seoond Session, Fifty-first congress
—Total, as stated in the ofiloial tables, $525,-
018,672; add amouut estimated by the
treasury uudor indefinite items in tbe sun
dry civil aol for pay and bounty claims,
$985,000; add amount estimated by the
treasury as required under the indefinite
appropriation to refund the direct tax of
$15,227,000. Total $541,230,672.
First Session—Total as stated in the
ofiloial tables. $103,398,510.
Add expenditures reported by the treas
ury under indefinite Items in the sundry
civil act for pay and bounty claims, $1,802,-
059. Add expenditures reported by the
treasury under permanent appropriations
made during the last oongress and not in
cluded in the official tables, $39,095,678,
Total, $494,456,948. Total appropriations
Fifty-first congress, $1,085,686,5K1. Average
appropriations by Fifty-first congress for
each of Its two sessions, $517,843,400.
The total appropriations made at this ses
sion amouut to $507,701,880, including the
river and harbor bill, beiug $33,529,291 less
than those made at the last session of con
gress, and, deducting the river and harbor
bill, the reduction is $54,686,499, and iu con
trast with the average appropriations for
the past two sessions of the lost congress,
the reduction is $10,142,080. Mr.
Holman states that $79,527,002 of tne ap
propriations made at the session just ended
were pursuant to laws, such as the sugar
bounty, peusioas, eto., enacted by the pre
oedlug congress.
A LEGACY OF TH* PREVIOUS CONGRESS.
He says: “In other words, but for laws
enacted during the last osngress, the ap
propriations at this session would be $79,-
537,602 less than they are, and they would
amount to only $428,173,777, or #113,050,394
less than the appropriations of last session,
and $06,282,470 less than the appropriations
of the first session of the Inst oengross. ”
Mr. Holman says that tae Fifty
seoond congress has authorized
the construction of no now buildings;
that its appropriations were 2 per cent, less
than tbe average of the Fifty-first congress;
that more offices were abolished than were
created, and more salaries reduced. He
adds: “I admit that the results of the
present session of congress will not fully
meet the expectations of the Democratic
party, but these are facts that tho country
will consider In comparing tho appropria
tions of the present session with those of the
last congress.”
He charges enormous activity on the part
of powerful lobbies, a union of the admin
istration and Senate against the House in
its efforts at retrenchment, and asserts that
the House, iu these oircumstonces, has done
fairly well, although tbe government
would he administered as efficiently and
more honestly if ths reduntlou bad been
thrice as great as it was.
TERES NOMINATIONS HUNG UP.
The Reasons Why the Senate Failed to
Confirm Them.
Washington, Aug. B.— The throe left
over nominations of President Harrison,
which were hung np in the Senate, are all
interesting. The most important is that of
George W. Miller, to be internal revenue
collector at Pittsburg, made to please Chris
Magee and Representative Dolzell, and
bung up to please Senator Quay. Boss
Magee and Representative Dalzell have
already asked President Harrison to appoint
Mr. Miller collector ad interim. Senator
Quay has said nothing, but the President
understands that this would be considered
highly offensive to him. He will solve the
problem of this dilemma on his return, and
make trouble whichever way he solves it.
JIM HILL’S CASE.
“Jim” Hill, Blanche K. Bruce’s colored
rival for the mastery in Mississippi, was
nominated for postmastor at Vicksburg
after having served in the interval botween
tbe last congress and this as postmastor,
and was hung up in the committee on post
offices. partly by Bruce’s influence and
partly since tbe Minneapolis convention by
Senator Sawyer, chairman of the commit
tea. who was one of President Harrison’s
managers at Minneapolis and who thought
Hill too active, like Postmaster Joe Man
ley, as an anti-Harrison man at Minne
apolis.
HThe third hung up nomination, that of
F.dward J. Day, to be postmaster at
Monett, Mo., was suspended on account of
an alleged indictment of Day by a grand
jury. It will be remembered that the
nomination of W. D. Crum to be post
master at Charleston, 8. C., was with
drawn.
A DRAW AFTER 41 ROUNDS.
Two Light-weights Indulge in a
Sprint and Hugging Match.
New York, Aug. B.—The prize fight this
evening between George Siddona and Eddie
Pierce, at the Coney Island Athietio Club,
was deolared a draw after forty-one savage
rounds had been fought
Pieroe bad tbe best of tbe fight ail the
way through, and much of the time it was
a race, with Biddons showing tho way and
Pieroe doing his best to catch up. Both
men were badly winded early in the fight.
After the twenty-first round the light
took the shape of a bugging match, with
an occasional blow of small force.
In the twenty-third and some subsequent
rounds not a blow waa struck. In the
closing rounds Siddons braoed up some and
seemed to be in the best condition of the
two, but in the forty-first round a foul was
claimed for Siddons and not allowed. The
fight was declared a draw, belli sides agree
ing. The time of tbe fight was two hours
and forty minutes.
Death In a Runaway.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. a—A special

Meets With Many Challenges on
Moving the Amendment in the
House—The Soeeches In tho Upper
House.
London, Aug. B. —This morning when
tbe House of Commons met the members
were summoned to the House of Lords,
where the speech from the throne opening
the twenty-fifth parliament of Queen Vic
toria was read. Tbe speech informed her
majesty’s lords and gentlemen that parlia
ment had been assembled in obedience to
the proclamation of June 28, by which the
late parliament was dissolved. Previous to
dissolution, the speech milled, the businees
session was completed, and therefore it is
not necessary for parliament uow to con
tinue its session at an unusual period of the
year for the traneaolion of flnauoial or
legislative business. Her majesty expressed
tho hope that when parliament meets again
at ite customary season it will again direct
attention to measures of social and domestic
improvement, and will oontinue to advance
iu the path of usual aud beaefleieot legisla
tion so judiciously followed by previous
sessions.
IN THE UPPER HOUSE.
The commission bearing tbe q 5 eon’s
speech entered tbe House of Lords at 2
o’clock and took tbsir seats on the long
bench in front of the throne.
A few ladiee oooupled seats on tbe lower
opposition benches.
Only forty members of tho House of
Lords were present. Tbe usual notice to
tbe House of Commons was given, and soon
tho speaker, attended by a handful of mem
bers of the lower house, was ushered into
the chamber of the peers to listen to tho
reading of the speech. After the speeoh
was read both houses took a recess until 4
o’clock.
A REPLY MOVED.
At 4 o’olock the House of Commons re
assembled. Nearly all the members were
present ami tbe galleries were crowded
with visitors. The q neon’s speech was again
read to tbe members. When the last por
tion of the speeoh was read It was greeted
with groans by tho liberals. Dunbar Plunk
ett Barton (ooueervative), member for Mid-
Armagh, moved an address In reply to the
queen’s speeoh.
GLADSTONE ENTERS.
Before the opening of the debate on the
addiess In reply to the speeoh, Mr. Glad
stone entered the bouse aud took the usual
oath administered to membertL He was
the recipient of hearty obeere from his sup
porters. Neither the speech of Mr. Bartou
iu tuoviug the address nor that of Mr.
Gross, who saoonded the address, attracted
any attention.
A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE MOVED.
The house was listless until Herbert
Henry Aisquith (Gladstonian) member for
tbe east division of Fifeshire, rose to move
an amendment declaring that the house
had no confidence in the government. He
was greeted with loud and prolonged cheer
ing by tho liberals. Mr. Aisquith declared
that parliament had met for the obsequies
of a dead majority. The house ought not
to dally over a practical question, but
should as speedily as possible place in power
a government representing the decision of
the country as expressed at the polls
THE MOTION SECONDED.
Thomas Burt (Gladstonian; member for
Morpeth, secretary of the Northumberland
Miners’ Mutual Association, seconded the
no confidence amendment. He contended
tnat the question of home rule for Ireland
must dominate all other questions to whioh
the liberal party was pledged.
Rt. HOll. George J. Gosohen, oha loel
ior of the exobequer, said he h oped tbe
house would at last hear something definite
about home rule. Mr. Gladstone, he de
clared, could no longer shirk explaining his
home rule soheme, nor oould Sir William
Vernon Haroourt evade unpleasant ques
tions bv goiug out of the house lustead of
responding to them.
ENTRY OF THE COMMONERS.
When tbe speaker, followed by a disor
derly Hock of 100 members, entered the
upper House to hear the queen’s speech,
there were present five commissioners, sur
rounded by a few persons, and many gaily
dressed ladies, one beauty holding a regular
levee of young persons. The Princess of
Teck occupied the royal gallery.
Mr. Aisquith, In moving tho amendment
in tbe House of Commons, had to meet a
number of challenges on his former de
mands that Mr. Gladstone reveal his boms
rule bill. These he thrust aside with the
remark, “We oome to bury Cfpsar." A
fine phrase in Sir. Aisquith’s speech, re
ferring to the liberal-unionist loyalty to the
government as perverted fidelity rare in the
annals of political apostaev, drove Mr.
Chamberlain to pencil and paper wi:b high
indignation marked in overy feature.
The house quickly thinned when McCar
thy rose to speak, but filled again when Mr.
Redmond rose. The speeches throughout
were characterize 1 by restraint. The cheer
ing never rose to great volume.
SPEECHES BY THE LORDS.
In the House of Lords Earl of Denbigh
moved and the Earl of Powis seconded an
adilre:u In reply to tho speech from the
throne. There was nothing in tbe speech,
he declared, that could be criticised. He
hoped that it the obances of politics re
versed the position of the parties the liberal
government would receive the same gener
ous assistance iu its foreign policy that
the liberals had accorded tbe conservative
government. Lord Salisbury admitted
that tbe speech was like a sealed envelope,
put Into the hands of a preacher going into
a pulpit, and, when opened, found to oon
taln nothing. The government had no
measure to present to parliament. He con
fessed that he had been disposed to
abandon tbe speech altogether, but
found, owing to the conservatism of
the opposition, that could only be done
by general consent. They bad now arrived
at tne stage where tbe House of Commons
was exercising a prerogative policy of its
own selection—men whose measures would
come after them. [Laughter.) Wnen these
measures were adopted by the House of
Commons then tbe House of Peers
would share with the other house tbe
responsibility for their measures. When
these measures are presented to them there
will be no diffioulty in criticising
them. Perhaps then ths liberal lords would
abandon their present conspiracy of silence.
Then, also, the peers would perform their
duty with that wisdom of deoislon upon
which the House established Its right and
rooutation in days past. [Cries of "Hear!
Hear!’’] This duty thus cost upon them
they would have to pay regard to tho com
posite nature of tho majority supporting
those measures. Most important, most
vital of all, they would have to oou*ider the
fundamental nature of the changos shad
owed forth for their acceptance, and whioh
would be the most momentous ever made
In tbe history of tbe oountry. [Cheers],
devonhhihe'm view*.
Tbe Duke of Devonshire said that the
time bod arrived wfieu effect was about to
tie given to tbe opinions prevailing in tho
utber bouse. In doolaring that tbe country
Ifad no confidence in the government, the
liberal leaders ought to explain tbs policy
I they would adopt if returned to
’ power. Did the liberals possess that con
fidence) Tbe government would at all
; events hold office until it became certain
| that the various sections of the opposition
1 would combine to maiutaln now govern
j rnent. IHear, hear. ] Proceeding to com
ment upon the probable liberal foreign
policy, he specially urged upon the liberals
the necessity of declaring whether or uot
they dosigned an early evacuation of Egypt.
Lord Hersohel bald that no declaration of
policy coming from the liberal government
ought to be given until the liberal govern
ment was constituted, Tho ministers, he
said, were still private mouthers, and their
declarations, if they ludulgcd in any, oould
not bind the future government. Regard
ing the liberal fordign policy, the liberals
had never embarrassed Lord Salisbury’s
oouduct of affairs, aud be hoped that the
conservatives, when in opposition, would
similarly assist the liberal forelga minister.
The addrees waa approved.
The Welsh members of parliament met
yesterday and decided to support ths home
rule blii, provided Mr. Glad-tone gives the
Welsh disestablishment ths uext place on
bis programme.
The bimetallist members decided to post

and on the Streets.
Denver, Aug. B.—Tho city is beautifully
decorated in honor of the visiting Knights
Templar. It was a lively and bustling
Sunday and visitors were sight seeing.
They wore personally welcomed by Mayor
Rogers. They arrived by thousands J>e
tectives are watching for crooks The
weather is fine, the heat being tempered by
000 l breezes. A visitor aecideutally killed
a man In a shooting gallery. It was only
an aooident.
THE OITY tw ITS GLORY.
During the day nearly 100 eastern and
western trains roiled In and nearly as many
more 1 cal trains Denver was In its
glory. Tbe deoorotions in the business dis
trict were finished to-day and the eye is
greeted on every side by Knights Templar
bunting, artistically arranged, and more
exiienslve olotbs. Rows of incandescent
colored electric lights are strung across ths
streets, attached to which are ail sorts 0$
Templar designs, and when they were
illuminated to-night the oity presented a
beautiful and unique spectaole.
To-night there were receptions at the va
rious clubs aud headquarters to visitors, for
Denver is keeping open house and th
Knights are welcomed everywhere. When
ISA John’s No. 4 of Philadelphia arrived this
morning from its trip around tbe stats
with Grand Master Gobin of the grand
ooinmsndery, the latter was reoeivotl with
a salute of tweuty-one guns. He was es
corted to the temple, where Grand Com
mander Carr of Colorado made a short
speeoh of welcome. Gau. Gobin responded
in a oharming utauner.
It is estimated that there are nearly
20,000 Knights in town. Among ths 00m
masderies which arrived to-ilay were the
South Carolina and Georgia commanderles.
Altogether nearly 2uo eastern trains wera
scheduled to arrive. At a late hour there
were still fifty of these trains to get in.
They will probably all arrive before morn
ing.
One of the featuros of the oonolave is the
ladiee' reception tent at the union depot,
where all ladles wbo arrive with Knights ore
received and sent to their various destina
tions.
Kansas City Knights to the number of
several hundred, gave a parade and an ex
hibition drill this evening.
The population of the city has increased
nearly 30,000 to-day and still tbe rush con
tinues. Probably oue quarter of ibis num
ber wore Knights und the rest were visitor*
attracted by tbe conclave. It was a most
cosmopolitan crowd and oue that is seldom
seen outside of New York or Chicago or
leading continental cities. Of course tb*
majority were Americans and all tbs
principal cities of the oountry were repre
sented. There were some objectionable
characters drawn hither by the cheap
rates, but the most of them were well-to-do
citizens.
SCENES AT THE DEPOT.
The scenes about union depot, where the
eastern aud local trains arrived about every
flftem minntes, were lively beyond de
scription. Iu many of the trains number*
of passengers had stood for hundreds of
miles. They were packed to the doors butt
the Knights were comfortable, for they 00-
cupied special coaohts and in many cases
special trains. They were aocompunied by
tbeir wives, daughters and lady friends.
The female folks in their bright costume*
added to tbe attraotiveuess of tbe scene and
set off the somber costumes of the Knights
to perfection. The depot yards and street ■
of the oity ware filled with strains of muslo
aud with inarching Knights all day.
WELL TAKEN CARE OF.
The visiting coinmanderies were escorted
to their headquarters by the local Knight*
aud banners aud swords flashed in the
bright sunlight and gave ths city a gay ap
pearance. The crowds were well handled
and everybody was given good accommoda
tions. The local Knight* looked after their
visiting brethren and the oluiens’oommltteiv
looked after ths other visitors who were un
fortunate enough uot to have friend* here. •
They still have 5,000 rooms to let. but they'
will probably all be filled by Wednesday.
There is still iu reserve, tnougb, room*
which will be given up by private residents,
only, however, ee absolutely necessary, for
no one wbo oome* here will be allowed to
go away disappointed.
