Gresham Has Heard Nothing From the
Asiatic Outrages. ■ \
Washington, Nov. 17.—(Special.)—
Secretary Grcohtam gays he has heard
nothing official oft tho rumored atroci
ties in Asiatic Turkey and ho does not
think thoy are trustworthy. Tho
United States consulate at Sivas is
hut 250 miles from BltiUs and our
agency at Troblnondo is only 200 miles
away. It is thought imp,v'.dle that
such widespread butchery could occur
without tho consul of tho United States
reporting upon It. The representatives
of European nations near the alleged
scene appear to have reported nothing
on the subject

Kdaglits of Labor Publication Committee
Gives Out Very Little.
New Orleans, Nov. 17.—little business
was transacted at this morning's session
of the Knights of -Labor general assem
bly. The question of the eligibility of
Delegatee Charles B. Mas tin of District
Assembly No. 72, with headquarters at
Tiffin, O., was decided in favor of the
general officers, who had decided, that
the assembly had lapsed and was entitled
to no recognition Uy the general assem
bly.
it was learned this morning for tho
first time that Sovereign has not presided
at any session and tho ohair is occupied
by Worthy Foreman Bidhop.
There is geood authority for tho state
ment that the press committee have been
suppressing facts and that the real work
of the session !a not being very fully
given to tDfe public through the press
committee. There have been many
clashes in the meetings, but the commit
tee has striven to suppress Information
Srespecting them The principal business
transacted at the evening session, ac
cording to the press committee, was con
sideration of the cases or tlfteen subor
dinate assemblies which had been sus
pended and referred to tho general as
sembly. This created the necessity of
prolonging the session from 2 to t>:30,wften
an adjournment was had to 8 p 4 m. Mas
ter Workman Sovereign stated that it had
been intended to elect officers for the
ensuing year today, but that tho elec
tion had been deferred to Monday, ow
ing to tho hearing ot the cases men
tioned above. From good 1 authority It Is
learned the afternoon sosslon was taken
up with the hearing of tho Pennsylvania
miners case, no conclusion being reached
when the regular afternoon adjournment
was taken. The miners have not yet con
cluded their statements and five of them
have been ttmn tlfteen minutes e&cti to
present arguments and facts.
Sovereign’s contingent has been re-en
forced by the arrival of two delegates In
response to telegrams, and who were ad
mitted without tho formality of having
to go through the credentials committee
to test their eligibility.

Feeble end Lome,
London, Nov. 17.—That the Influence
of Mr. Gladstone, despite his retire
ment from -the Liberal leadership. In
still paramount in the, guidance ot
the affairs of that party Is plainly
visible ttt Lord Rosebery’s latest pro
posal touching the house of lords. A
division ot opinion exists among /the
members of the cabinet ns to what
form the resolution for tho abolition
ot .the yeto power ot the house ot lords
shuld taker and regarding the moat
suitable time for Cie Trttroductloa of
the question in the house of commons,
led byL ord Rosebery'S visit to Hmwur-
den. Acting under tho Inspiration
there obtained, the premier foreslwrd-
owed in hln speech at Glasgow the
scheme for a second chamber, wKh a
system ot conference oh disputed mat
ters between delegates from the two
houses, in-which tho delegates from the
lower house wound Largely overbalance
those from The lords. Obviously the
ministers have under consideration
some plan which Is still too shadowy
to permit of Its being disclosed-.
Sir William dlarcourt, chancellor of
the exchequer, and Mr. Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, secretary of state for
war, opposed Lord Rosebery’s desire
to Introduce -the question of the reform
of the houBe of lords early In tlie com
ing session of parliament. They urge
that the best course to adopt will bo to
hold the resolution In reserve until the
ministry shall be ready for a dissolu
tion. It Is implied that the Conserva
tive loaders Will bo -willing to await
the convenience ot tile government.
Lord Salisbury, it is known, !b de
termined to force their hands by pass
ing In he house df lords, Immediately
-the session shall open, a motion af
firming the possession by that body of
legislative privileges. This will neces
sitate the introduction in the bouse
oi_cammon» early In' the session ot
counter resolutions and will cause a
crisis which will make dissolution Im
perative.

MdOdpthyltes, however, are able to
