St. Louis, May 25.—-The sensational dovcl
opmcntn Id the Maxwell trial yesterday after
noon. and the expectation that the prosecu
tion would rest ita caae and that Maxwell bo
placed on the witness stand to teatify in his
own defense today, literally packed the
criminal court tbii morn in# with spectators,
all classes of men and women. The extra
seats provided for tho anticipated largo
attendsneo of ladies were each one occupied
by a representative of the fair sex, who took
extraordinary Interest In the proceedings.
The preliminary business of the court having
been disposed of, tho Jury in the Maxwell
esse and the defendant were brought Into
court, and the examination of Deputy .Sheriff
Kcncflck was proceeded with.
Maxwell appeared a trifle paler than on
previous occasions, but maintained his former
calm and Indifferent bearing. Kcncflck testi
fied he wss present in tbo circuit attorney's
office, when Mr. Brooks, of England, called to
seethe prisoner. Tho ppisecution asked the
witness:
“Tell tho jury the nature of tbo interview
between Brocks and the defendant."
Mr. Fanntleroy, of the defeso, atked that
tbe privato words spoken at that interview
and the emotions of a gray-haired father bo
not laid before a sensation seek log publl
audience. Tbe prbsccution answered that
they desired to prove that the prisoner had
on that occasion thrown aside all disguise, and
had admitted bia identity; that he was
Brocks. The defense said this point would
not bo denied, and the witness was with
drawn. All of tho clothing markod
“C. A. P." found iu Maxwell's trunk at
Auckland: tho valises, hat boxes, tranks,
medicine bottles, letters, from Maxwell to
Prellerand from Detcctivo McCullough to
Maxwell, and the latter’s attorney, articles
bought by defendant while In 8t. Louis
after the murder and thrso purchased in
San Francisco, wero admitted in evidence and
shown to the jury. The prosecution tlion
statu d to tho court that they desirod
to rest tbeir side of tho case. The
defense asked that the coroner who witnemvl
tho post mortem examination of Prnllor’i
body bo placed on tbo stand by the prosecu
tion, and bo made to teatify as to tho result of
thu examination. The prosecution refund,
and the defense appealed to the court, who
decided that be could not interfere in the
matter. Tho defense accepted the ruling and
asked that adjournment be taken until tomor
row at ton o'clock. The court adjournnd.
St. Lou is, May 26.—Max well testiflod today
In his own behalf. His recital of bia personal
biitory chows that ho haa been accurately
traced in nil bis movements. His account cor*
roborated all tbe witnesses who havo testiflod
against him except the detective who was in
btUou with him. He gavo his uamoas Hugh
Maxwell Brooks; aged 25; born iu Kngland.
His Account of tho deatji of Proller is identi
cal with bis confession, published a fow days
•go. He had studied medicine, but had
no license to practice as a physician.
He had treated Preller for a trifling ailmout
? rev ions to coming to 8t. Louis, and at
Teller’s own request undertook to remove a
stricture. Preller waa a consenting party to
the ueo of chloroform and tho caso was ono
which might and doea sometimes occur iu
any physician’* practice. Prellor died from
the effect* of the drag while under troatmout.
Maxwell iaja bis mistake was In not report
ing the . circumstance at once, but ho
was In a strange land, ignorant of
Ita customs and nnaware that his
report would servo him had he made it.
lleildea this ho was In great grief over the
deathafauaa to whom bo was much at
tached aa a friend. In this state of mind tho
thought occurred that ho must hide tho body
and get ifway. He then packed It in t?io
hunk, as described, aud took what money he
found In Preller'H trousers, about $<100, msdo
a number of purchases and}! rank a great deal
before leaving for California.
(JmMloiml by hi*-counsel:
“What do you know about a pleco of pipoi
rending, ‘so i^rlsh all traitors to a groat
came.’ ’*
“I wrote It. My Idea was that the Author!
tics would find it and that it would puzxlo
them until an Autopsy should bo held.”
“Was it your Idea to delay thorn whllo you
were getting away?"
“Yea."
“Did you do anything else with tho same
object in view?"
“Yea, 1 shaved off innstacho—
“Can you toil how that cut carno upon his
breast?"
"Yea, I did It with a scalpel but can assign
no reason for it."
“Had you, when you administered that
chloroform, any intention of killing Prellor?"
4 T had not, air."
Witness spoke loud and emphatically.
"Had you any Intention of injuring him?”
"I had not. air.”
* Of doing nim any bodily harm?"
“No."
The rest of the testimony waa taken up
with hla trip to 8an Francisco,some of tho
{vents which occurred, and hU explanation
of some of tbe big stories which lio told
about himself on his trip to that city.
The court adjourned until tomorrow,
when the direct examination will bo coutin*
urd.
Sr. I .or ip, May 27.—Maxwell was again on
tho witness stand today and testified that ho
bud never made any agreement with Detec
tive McCullough, his Jail companion, about hia
defence.
“But how about his testimony?" interrupted
Mr. Fauntleroy, “in which he stated that you
conlt-Mcd to having murdered Preller becauso
lie wculd not furnish you mouoy to go to
Auckland?"
"His whole stafcinent," replied the witnwu.
“was nn infamous lie from tho beginning to
tbe end. 1 never saw tho letter signed Mann
which ho says he wrote to mo until it was pro
duced in court. I never tried to secure a
false witnrrs, nor to manufacturo a b?gua do-
feme.”
On the eroFR examination. Maxwell natd ho
had aasurord tbe name of Maxwell in Knglaud,
immediately after leaving his father's homo.
Tbe pro.Mcution drew out of him an admis
sion of the faUitv of a good many of the
Moiics bo bad told of himself to peoplo he had
met iu his travels, and whoso
testimony haa been given on tho
drctvnt trial. Sonio of his own atvo-
moots in hia confession and hia direct to«ti-
mony were also ahaken; but he explained th.it
liquor drinking bad something to do with his
boastful habit and crooked stories. 8omo of
his vagaries and forgeries ho described as in
tended for iokes.
8t. Loits, May 28.—Following is tho state
ment made by Maxwell, iu the trial for tbe
murder of Preller:
My full name is Hugh M. Brooks; I am 25
f ears old; was born in Hyde, Chester, England;
commenced to study law with Mr. Brown at
Stockport, near Hyde, in 1878, aud remained
there four years; I am a lawyer by profession;
1 also studied medicine and surgery at the
Colleagiate school at Manchester, but am not a
licensed physician.
1 first met C. Arthur Preller at the North
western hotel at Liverpool, but did not get
acquainted with him until I met him on the
steamer Cephalonia; also met Mr. Warren on
the steamer. Mr. Preller and I were both Eng
lishmen, coming to a strange country, and our
acquaintance ripened into a warm friendship.
We talked much about our plana and purposes
for the future, and our acquaintance aud
fncndihip continued after our arrival in
this country. Wo rrached Boston February ?,
and after three or four days Preller started
on a business trip. 1 had conversations and
correspondence with Preller about going to
New Zealand: we agreed to meet in St. L>uit
and go there toga her; told him about my
financial condition, telling him in a letter
that I had $100 all told. I treated Preller
reveral times medically in Boston, and by let
ter and he acknowledged having received de
cided benefit from tbe treatment; he knew
that I had never practiced medicine regularly;
I never need any deception with him in this
regard."
The witness then described various events
about Proller leaving Boston for Canada;
about h!s own and Preller’s arrival in St.
Lonis and stopping at the Southern hotel ;that
ho had $50 to $00 when he arrived there; how
he tried to pawn some of hia things before
Preller came; his visits to Fernowl drug store
and his conversations with Fernow; bis pur
chasing virions articles of him, among them
chloroform and carbolic acid, which, iu com
bination be need himself in treating a bad
tooth that troubled him; that Preller arrived
on the Friday prior to Easter Sunday; how
they went together to sell his magic lantern
and slides, and various other occurrences
which took place between Friday and Sunday,
all of which are familiar to nearly every
body.
“We, Mr. Prellerand I, made two trips be
tween the Southern hotel and the (Jniou
depot, where wo attempted to discover the
causo of the detention of my trunk, which
contained the magic lantern, and wero told
by the baggage man thero that it was proba
bly detained in Port Huron, Canada, by tho
customs officers. Wo visited Aloo, tho opti
cian, in the endeavor to ascertain if he would
purchase tho lantern aud slides when they
should arrive. From the timo that Mr. Broi
ler arrived in Bt. Louis down to Easter Sun
day, we saw a great deal of each othor; wo
were, as a former witness has
stated, almost inseparable. 1 visited his
room several times, but when wo wero
cot looking around the city or playing pool
wo spent most of our time In my room. Wo
played pool a great deal and whoever lost tho
game paid for it. We ptayod about oven, ho
tho expense was about equally divided. Wo
drank some, but not much. Ho paid for most
of tho drinks. Mr. Preller was accustomed to
call at my room early in tho morning and wo
would go down to breakfast together and re
turn to my room, converso and smoko for
awhile and then go down to tbo rotunda. On
Easter Sunday, before 1 went to tho drugstore,
ho and I had a conversation about the per
formance of tho operation heretofore alluded
to, and also a day or two before that. Oil
Sunday Mr. Preller described to mo
his symptoms and I concluded that
he was suffering from a stricturo and that tbo
best method of treating him was by passing a
catheter. I took my anthoiltyon medicine
and read to Mr. Preller tho directions as to tho
proper motbods of administering chloroform
and refreshed my own mind as to the proba
tions to be used. There aro marginal notes on
the pages treating of tbo simplest and safest
method of utiug the drag, but I made these
soroo twelve months before I left England.
After this conversation with Mr. Proller I
went to the drug store and purchasod four
ounces of chloroform and a quantity of absor
bent cotton. On this samo day Prellor aud I
had gono to auothcr drag store, ono under
tho Southern hotel, and rnado soruopurchase-*,
which ho said we most havo and could
probably not get on our lournov to Auckland
before we should arrive at Ban Francisco. It
bad been understood between ih all tbo timo
that I waa to sell my magic lantern and sotno
other things in order to raise money for tho
trip to San Francisco, and that ho was to pay
for my passage to Auckland with tho under
standing that I should refund to him the cost
of that passage. While in tho drug storo I
ordered and drank a mixture of bromide pota-
siuni and valci innate of ammonia, to quiet my
nerves. I drank this in the presence of Mr.
Preller and be paid for it as bo did for tho
other things purchased there. We then
returned to tho hotel, and on our wiy
up to my room stopped at the cigar
stand and purchased a box of cigars
for which my companion also paid. Wo then
went np stairs, aud after smoking for a whilo
aud discussing tbe proposed operation, Mr.
Preller went to his own room, roturniug
shortly after having removed hia waistcoat
•ml replaced bia coat with a dressing gown.
Immediately thereafter wo began to mako
preparations for tho operation. Mr. Preller
rtmoved his trowsers and drawers, aud lay
down upon the bed. I placed a four ounce
bottle of chloroform on the washstaud, and
poured out a fluid graiumo of tho liquid on a
I ieeo of lint which I folded three times.
then walked to tho bed aud held the liut
about six inches from my patient's Leo so
that the vapor from tho chloroform might bo-
ceme mixed with tho air and piodtico not a
too violent effect. It all evaporated in a fow
miontrs and I turned around to get rnoro aud
found that tho bottle which 1 bad placed on
the wash stand had fallen into the basin and a
large portion of the contents had flowed out,
and not enough was left to produce uu antes-
thetic. I then went to Feroow's drug store
togitmore, telling Mr. Fernow that I had
spilled what I had first bought from him. I
wanted four ounce*, but tbe druggist ouly
bad two, aud I took that."
“Wero you excited iu your manner?" asked
Mr. Fauutlcroy of tho defense.
"Not at all."
"Did you feci any excitement?"
“No, nono whatever; but I wjm certainly in
a hurry to get away, and told Mr. Fernow so.
I think I remarked to him, too, that it was
unnecessary to place a label on tho bottle, for
I intended to placo the contents iu tho empty
bottle in my room. I tbeu returned to tbo
room where 1 bad left Mr. Preller in an un
dressed condition lying upon my bed.
placed about a gramme of tho fluid on the lint
a second time, aud again held It about 'tlx
inches from his face; continued this some time
until I thought unconsciousness, or rather in
sensibility to pain had been reached. I then
took up the catheter and proceeded to insert
it. Mr. Preller made a peculiar noise, wiuc-
iug as ho felt the pain. I catue to the con
clusion that 1 had not administered asutficient
•mrunt of chloroform."
The witness here described the formation of
the gtnital organs and their sensitiveness,and
explained that In performing any operation
upon them it waa necessary that the patient
should be rendered wholly unconscious of the
ret ulting pain.
“It was evident to me that Mr. Prellor was
still unconscious of pain, aud I poured out a
gramme or a gramme and a hair more of tho
chloroform upon the lint, which I again placed
before his face. Almost before I knew it, Mr.
Prcller’s breathing became very labored, and
I at onco Mispendcd the administration of
chloroform, for I knew that his coudition was
serious. 1 seized a pair of my surgeon scis
sors and at once out bis shirt and undershirt
from his body and tried all means of rosutci
tation with which I was familiar. I slapped
him with wet towels on the cheat and neck,
dashed cold water or bis cheat, and attempted
to restore reapiratioifrby moving hia arms up
and down."
The witness proceeded with a voice impres
sively husky: “I continued those effort* to
revive my friend for over half an hour, but it
waautcless, entirely useless. Shortly after
my friend ceased to breathe aud his heart
•topped beating. There waa no breath on a
minor when I licld it to his lips. Even after
I was satisfied he was dead I continued my
efforts with him. I did not leave aud call as
sistance. All my efforts were to restore him,
because when chloroform takes hold of a mau
and he sinks, in a few seconds the man isdoad.
The time, I thought, had better bo occupied
in efforts to restore him. I was con
vinced be was dead, but I
continued to dash cold water on hts
cheat; I finally decided he waa dead aud past
all bope; then I hardly knew what to do; my
firat impulse waa to notify the authorities; im
agine my feeling*; I did not know what to do;
1 waa in a atrauge land, a stranger; I did a »t
known man could make a statement iu hia
own bebalf; I thought the same rule obtained
hi re as iu England, and that I would not be
allowed to make my statement, and I thought
1 would get away; I had that large trank, tbe
only one I had up to that time: I emptied It
cut; it would be impossible, gentlemen, to de
scribe to yon my feelings, my horror, when l
knew my friend was deiul."
The prisoner paused and brushed away the
tears from his eyes and proceeded: *T drew
the empty trunk np to the side of the bed, and
after drawing my dravreq* the first that ca-ue
to my hand, upon the body for common de
cency's sake, put Mr. Preller in it. There wss
come difficulty in forcing the body into the
trank, but I succeeded, and after covering it
up went down to tbe Mr. I was in a dreadful
state of mind, and tried to drown thoaght by
drinking. 1 wandered about the streets of the Tonic.
city until about 9 or 10 o’clock. I visited some
shooting gallery and came bock to tho hotel.
I went up to the diniugroom. I can t very
well givo an account of what took place in the
diningroom. I then went up to the room—my
room—and stayed there all night.
“1 can't bo sure of anything that happened
after the sad occurrence of Mr. Prollor’s
death. 1 hived in my room. To say that I
slept would bo untrue. I waitod for tho
morning. I then thought the only thing to
be done wm to get away. I took Mr. Preller’a
pants and looked through them. I found a
quantity oi money in bills. I ciu’t say how
much. Thero was probably $.>00 or $009. I
took it and went to tbo ticket office and bought
a ticket for.San Francisco.
‘ On the eamo morning I made several other
purchases, a flute and a diamond ring at a
pawn brokers, a pair of field glasses and spec
tacles at Aloe's, the optician, two tranks and
a valise. Tho trunk* I ordered carried to my
room, and I placed in one of them the cloth
ing and loose things lying around tho room,
which had Men removed from tbe trunk in
which I had placed my friend’e dead body."
“Wbatdoyou know about the piece of paper
reading: 'So perish all traitors to tho great
eau«
"I wrote it. My idea was that tho author
ities would find it, and that it would puzzle
them until an autopsy should ho held.”
“Was it your idea to delay them whilo you
were getting away?”
“Yes.”
‘ Did you do anything else with the samo ob
ject in view?"
“Yes, I shaved off tbe mustache.”
"Can you tell ine how that cut came upon
his breast?"
“Yes. I did it with a scalpel, but can as
sign no reason for it."
"You did this all on Monday morning?"
“Yes, on Monday morning.”
“What else did you do?"
“In the couric of the morning I went to tho
onion depot with the canvas-covered trunk,
which I checked to San Francisco. I romcm
ber going to tho dining room Monday morn
ing, but I don’t remember ordering tho wino.
I don’t remember asking about killing a mau,
nor exhibiting a revolver. What I did on tho
Sunday evening and Monday morning are so
confused that I wouldn’t like to say whoa
anything occurred."
•Had you, when you administered that
chloroform, any intention of killing Mr. Prel
im?"
"I had not, sir.”
Tho witness spoke loudly and emphatically.
“Had yon any intention of injuring him?’’
“I had not, sir.” •
"Of doing him any bodily harm?"
“I bad not, sir."
The rest of the testimony was taken up
with his trip to San Frauciioo—somo of the
events which occurred there, and his explana
tion of some of the big stories which he told
about himself ou his trip to that city.
Of Interest to all Stock Owners.
The following in regard to tho value of
Gcmbault’s Caustic Balsam as a reliable,
speedy and safe veterinary remedy for all
stock owners, is written by Dr. Georgo Stuart,
M. R. C. V.S., a graduate and momber of the
Boy si Veterinary college, of Edinburgh,
Scotland, a successful practitioner for fifteou
years in the old couutrv, and during the pa»t
fourteen years has established a moat onviablo
reputation as a successful veterinary surgeon
in this country. This testimonial from so ablo
authority is indisputable ovidouco of tho won
derful practical value of this great voteriuary
remedy:
Ci.xvki.and. O., July 28, 1835.
Lawrence, Williams & Co.—Gouts: I havo
used Goinbault’s Caustic Balaam, tbo French
veteiinary remedy, in my practice for many
yeais in Scotland and constantly ainco it was
first imported to this country, and every ap
plication indorses all that is claimed for it in
its active principle, alleviating pain, reducing
swellings, e nlargcments and inflammatory
effusions from whatever cause, with no dan-
ser of leaving any scar or blemish of any
kind.
1 recommend its use, and use it for the re
moval of ail pain and soreness from ringbone,
curb, splint, spavins, capped hock, sprains or
wrenches tf ligaments or tendons. In cases
of thrush hiruiuitis, shoo boils, sweeny, goiter,
strangles or sore throat, poll ovii or fljtnla,
it has no cquol as a remedial agont within my
knowledge. It superseded tho budding or
fifing iron, (which invariably ruins tho hair,
leaves a blemish and creates a disoased skin),
and merruty or blisters (which aro so danger
ous to all Htiimsl U(c and havo been forever
disicgardcd by all intelligent practitioner.* i in
my practice, as more beneficial results can bo
produced with the Caustic Balsam, and as it
docs not contain a particle of pohouotis sub
stance, but is a purely vegetable preparation
and is both activo aud curative, it must bo
preferred to the dangerous firing iron or pois
onous blis’or*, by all intelligent practitioners
and stock owners who will becomo acquainted
with it.
In cattle practico I have also found it an
equally efficacious and valuable remedy. It
opens the pores of tho skin in garget or
•welled udder of milk fevor, and tho fever is
abated iu a abort time. It is also a most val
uable remedy for all skin diseases and bul
sores, as it immediately purifies the skin or
flesh aud leaves it cloan and hoalthy, to heal
quickly by nature's action.
It ia every man’s remedy, as it requires no
•kill to apply it, and for tho multitude of
cases for which it ia applicable, it is impossi*
ble to do any barm with its use. It can In
raccessfally manipulated to produce any de
sired degree of severe or mild action. It is
certainly* moat powerful, convenient, safe
and vaiublo veterinary preparation, and
should be in tho bands of every intelligent
stock owner, as it will savo him many times
itscost. Yours truly,
Dr. Gro. Stuart, M. R. C V. S.
For the information of all would say that
every genuine bottle of the Gombault’s Caus
tic Balsam has the signature of Lawrence,
Willi.ms A Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, on the
label, aa they are tho solo importers of it to
this country.

Cleveland, O... May 28.—The Knight? of
Labor were up late last night, and in conse
quence it was rather Into this morning bofore
they were astir. It was 9:29 o’clock when
Mr. Powderly left the hotel, and It was 10:10
o’clock before tho general assembly was
rapped to order by the chief executive. In
the meantime delegates congregated in
groups in the ball and corridors
discussing labor topics. When the
call for the convention was issued
by Mr. Powderly be only enumerated five
c&iucs of complaint that wero to bo adjusted.
Theec wero boycotts, strikes, the southwest
troubles, the relation of Knights of Labor to
other organizations, and tbo instituting of new
assemblies. Since the delegates have arrived
many of them have plans that they would like
to 6pring upon a special session. Whether
thcce will be discussed or laid upon the table
cannot be determined aa yet.
One of these plans is to agitato the subject
of the government regulating tho railroads.
A member of order, from Allegheney, Pa.^has
prepared a long address upon this subject, and
a delegate from his district will try to secure
a hearing for hjm. The gentleman’s address
also deals with the project of a national arbi
tration board. Another matter was made pub
lic by free discussion this morning. For some
timo past tho executive board has not been
satisfied wit j some of the organizers of tho or
der, and several have had charges preferred
against them and their commissions recalled.
A number of organizers are not giving sat
isfaction,eo to prevent hard feeling by remov
ing these men, it is proposed to have the com
mission of every organizer, from the chief
down, recalled.
A reporter asked Richard Jrevdick, chief
organizer, about tbo matter and. that gentle
man said:
“It is true that such a plan Is being agita
ted. Much of the trouble in tho order is ris
ing from the rapidly increasing membership
and the installation of our assemblies.
It is not the fault of either Mr. Powderly or
the executive board. In making appoint
ments they must rely upon the recommenda
tions of district assemblies. They do not,
cannot, know all tbe men recommended and
appointed. A few weeks ago in one city I
met on oraanizer who I regret to say was un
der the influence of liquor. I asked him whore
he was going, and be informed me thit
he was going to institute an assembly
of five hundred striking Poles and
Hungarians. This is against the rales of the
order, as wo can adroit no strikers whilo they
are out. I told him so, but ho replied that ha
held a commission as organizer and would do
as ho pleased. 1 told him he could institute
an assembly, but it would never recelvo a
charter. Only four days ago at ft reception
tendered mo by ladles, an organizer was in
toxicated. We need sober, industrious repre
sentative men in these positions. It would
mnke hard feelings to ask for their commis
sions. So it is proposed to make them
ante up, from the chief organ
izer down. This can bo done by
Mr. Towdcrly alono, or by tho executive
board under instructions from thegcnoral m*
sembly. The best way is tho better, and I
think it will be done in that manner. Now
organizers will bo commissioned as soon as
possible and will bo selected because of tholr
fitness for position."
Tbe firat business of the morning session
wss the acceptance of tho report of the com
mittee on credentials. New delegates
wero then admitted to the hall
and the obligation administered. Too
delegates were admitted only from such dis
tricts aa were represented »t tho convention
held last year in Hamilton, Out., this boing a
special session ©f that general assembly, and
distilets since instituted not being eligible to
membership iu the exintiug bodv.
Mr. Powderly’s address waa then delivered
extemporaneously. Ho referred delegates to
learn what business was to ho brought for-
wind, and taking up the fivo subjects, of
strikes, boycotts, labor troubles, difficul
ties with trades unious, and iucreuiing
membership, ©no by one, bo advised the tno-it
careful thought and full discissions upon nil
questions. He aeked that harmony, prudcnco
and dircreiion should predominate iu nil mat
ters, ar.d that tho affairs of tho convention
should bo acted upon with consideration and
dispatch. The best part of the address, treat
ing of matters entirely within tho province of
the order, cannot be made public. Mr. Pow
derly resumed his scat ntnid prolonged ap
plause, and upon motion appointed standing
committees of fivo upon each o*
the following subjects: Laws, strikes, boy
cotts, aud relation of tho knighta to other or
ganizations. Delegate! to tiie gnu
eral assembly expressed themselves aa highly
pleased at the action of the Cleveland typo
graphical union in instructing its delegates to
the annual convention to v.oto that the union
? o over to the Knighta of Labor in a body.
'he convention will meet in Pittsburg in
Jnne, and it is confidently asserted that it will
adjourn as a district assembly of the Knight?
of Labor. About 38.000 members will
be added to the Knights of Labor by
this action and it ia claimed that compositors
in email towns where there Is no unions will
swell the number to 50,000. Tho general a?-
rcmbly will reconvene at 8 o’clock tomorrow
morning and during tho remaining session,
tho hours will be from 8 to 12 in the morning
and 2 to G iu tbo afternoon. Tho general as
sembly cannot possibly adjourn bofore S4tur*
day, and business may occupy delegates atten
tion during tbe first part of next week.
Cleveland, 0„ May 27.—Tho goneral
assembly of the Knights of Labor began its
session at 8:30 o’clock this morning. Tho
committee on laws presented a partial report
embodying a number of propositions, one of
which wns taken un. Tho first proposition
wa*, in effect, that the executive board should
be incieared from fivo to eleven members.
The great growth of tho order siuce tho origi
nal executive committee was decided oa de
mands that tbe work bo distributed among
more committeemen. Th* morning was spent
in disrueM'ng the proposition. There was a
vencrsl sentiment iu favor of increasing the
membership in tbe board, but the question as
to whether it would be proper for a special
convention to tako actiou in tho matter met
with somo difference of opinion.
After three hours discussion tbo report wa?
referred back to tbo coxumitteo on laws with-
ent instructioi.e.
It is said that Mr. Powdctly’s plan for tbo
future government of tbe order is tho cstah-
liehmcnt of a state assembly. Thero wi -1 bo
then feur asrcmblit*. The local assemblies
will lo subordinate! to tho districts, tho dis
tricts to the state and the state to the nationat.
Tbe plan is reported to bo very popular among
tko»e of delegstt a who have heard of it.
Mr. Powderly'a plan as it ia called, will do
away with many unnecessary strikes. It pro
vides, among other things, that no assembly
but tbo state and national shall have pjwor
to order a strike or boycott. Ifa local assem
bly wants to nnkr a strike it must first get
tbe content of district aud then state as-
icmblicf.
