Annnal Convention of the General Assembly Held at Washington. The nineteenth annual convention of the general assembly, Knights of Labor, was held in Washington. All business transacted at the meetings was guarded with the utmost secrecy, not even Knights of Labor, other than delegates or alternates, being allowed admission. General Master Workman Sovereign expresses himself as being very much encouraged by the present condition of the order. He thinks the progress of the Knights of Labor is more marked at present than ever before, and that the increase of membership in the face of hard times is exceedingly gratifying. One of the important subjects discussed at the convention was the attitude of the members ofoithe order toward political parties during the next national campaign. While the Populists have embodied many of the principles of the knights in their platform the latter think that in view of their voting strength the recognition should go further.

MUTINY AND DESERTION. Trouble on Board the Bohemia Will Lead to Arrests. The American ship Bohemia arrived in San Francisco from Philadelphia with stories of mutiny and disaster.

A scarcity of bituminous coal is reported from nearly ail districts, with a strong advancing market. The Pennsylvania district has hitherto been regarded by the operators as the main disturbing element in the coal situation.

DEATH IN THE KUINB. Many Perish in the Wreck of a Detroit Building. The hundred or more employes of the Detroit, Mich.. Journal were busy early Wednesday morning preparing for an ex-, tra edition, when suddenly a part of the building was wrecked by the explosion of boilers in the basement. Seventeen bodies were recovered from the ruins by night, some thirty tenants and employes in the buifding were yet missing, and there can be no doubt that most of these are lying dead under the debris. The work of rescue was rushed t? the utmost all day and night, but progress was very slow. The debris and brick were dumped into an almost solid mass, upon which quantities of water were poured and into which comparatively little headway could be made. Twenty-two were rescued in a helpless condition. Of these several will die. LIEUT. YOUNG ON HAWAII. Denies the Report that His Book Is to Be Suppressed. Naval Lieut. Lucien Young denies absolutely the report that his book on “Hawaii and the Hawaiian Question - ’ would be suppressed, or that any of his superior officers had in any way attempted to interfere with its publication. Lieut. Young was in Hawaii with Admiral Walker after the revolution and delivered a red-hot annexation speech on July 4. After Commissioner Blount made his report Lieut. Young criticised it. These strictures finally came to the ears of Secretary Herbert, and he politely but firmly insisted that Lieut. Y’oung should remember his duty as an officer and be more guarded in his remarks. Now Young has put his views in the fortn of a book. EXTENSION OF FOREIGN TRADE. Question of Foreign Markets Will Be Discussed by Secretary Morton.

Dead Come to Life. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., dispatch: The long overdue steamer Missoula foundered on Lake Superior Saturday night after drifting about in a disabled condition for two days. The crew took to the life boats and saved themselves, finally lauding on the north shore of the lake. The steamer’s shaft broke Friday morning when many miles above Whitefish Point, and as there was considerable wind and sea she fell into the trough of the waves and rolled about helplessly. The wind was southwest and increased to a gale, driving her before it. The seams were opened and the steamer began leaking. Although the steam pumps were worked to the full capacity the leaks gained, and at 0 o’clock Saturday night all hands took to the boats. The steamer was then fifteen miles northeast of Caribou Island. The Missoula was a representative wooden lake steamer, and when she came out was one of the finest on fresh water. She was built by Quayle & Sons at Cleveland in 1887 and measured 1,585 net tons.' In Inland Lloyd’s vessel register she was classed as A 1 with a star rating, and valued at $05,000. That she was in excellent condition is certain, and vesselmen wonder much at her loss, as she was deemed fit to ride out any ordinary lake storm. Kurds Are to Blame. A Constantinople correspondent telegraphs that Turkish reports accusing the mosques are ridiculous and are made in order to envenom to the utmost Mohammedan animosity toward the Armenians. One embassy has npws that the Kurds were the aggressors at Diurbeckir and ruthlessly slaughtered the Armenians, women and children, ai*l burned and pilf laged the shops.

Hold-Up on the Erie. Four men dragged a passenger from his seat in a chair car on the Erie Road at Archer avenue, Chicago, at 8 o’clock Wednesday night, held him up on the platform, rifled his pockets, jumped from the train and escaped almost before the assaulted individual himself or the other persons on the train knew what had taken place. The crime was one of the boldest of recent months. Denies the Protest. In denying a protest made by a citizen of California against the patenting of lands in Southern California to the Southern Pacific Railroad because the same were mineral, the Secretary of the Interior says that the country in which the lands are located is well explored and it is presumed that if mineral exists it would have been found previous to the present time. Engineer Slept at His Post. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois had a big head end collision just south of Veedersburg, Ind., Thursday morning by two freight trains coming together. It was caused by the engineer going to sleep from overwork and letting his train pass a meeting point. One engineer was seriously hurt and both engines very badly injured. Death on Brazilian Railway. In a railroad accident in the province of Minas, Brazil, many passengers were killed. Among those who lost their lives was Bishop Lasagana, chief of the Salesian order of monks in South America. Approves Armenian Brutalities. The Constantinople Official Gazette announces that Bahri Pasha, who was dismissed from his official position pursuant to the representations of the British

ambassador, Sir Philip Currie, owing to' hie ill treatment of the Armenians, has been decorated with the grand cordon of the Osmanli order “as a reward for his' good services.” This step upon the part of the sultan is considered most significant. It is not only an open and distinct mark of approval of the ill treatment of Armenians, but it is a deliberate snub to Great Britain, particularly as in addition to the decoration bestowed upon Bahri Pasha, the Official Gazette publishes a. long list of the names of Turkish officials in Armenia who have been decorated by the sultan for their “good services.” In fact, it almost seems as if the sultan is openly defying the powers. BELIEVES HE IS A VAMPIRE. South Dakota Man Who Kills Cattle for Their Blood. The cattle men on the ranges west of Pierre, S. D., tell a ghastly story of a madman who for some time has been roaming over the reservation, killing cat-, tie with his naked hands to suck their,' blood, and in some cases even attacking men. No one seem to know who the man is nor exactly how long he has been wandering about the ranges. He was first seen some four or five weeks ago, and repeated attempts have been made to, capture him, but thus far without success. He is said to labor under the hallucination that he is a vampire, and his actions certainly bear out this hypothesis. How he manages, without a weapon of| any kind, to kill the cattle on which he lives is a mystery. When found after he has left them the animals appear to have been seized by the heads, born to the, ground by main strength and torn to pieces by the teeth and nails of the lunatic. DO NOT WAN r AUTONOMY. Cubans Will Not Accept Any Terms but Independence. “No, sir; we will not accept autonomy under any circumstances," said Senor Palma, the Cuban Minister Plenipotentiary, when spoken, to in New York regarding the report that Spain might be willing to grant Cuba autonomy, but fenred the Cubans would not accept it. “If Spain wants to make terms with us,” he continued, “they will have to offer better conditions than those they profess to make. In the first place, we do not believe Spain wants to give Cuba autonomy. She only wants to deceive us, as in 1803. We want absolute independence and to make ail absolutely free republic of Cub.i.f We would not even accept such condition's those governing the Dominion of Canada."

Czar to Step lu. The Turkish question has assumed an entirely new phase. News comes from Vienna that Russia does not intend to await the tardy action of the powers, but if the disorders continue in Armenia will in a few days march her troops into that country without the consent of the powers, alid take possession. This report, which is sent by the correspondent of the London Daily News, comes from trustworthy sources and is fully credited. It is well known in official circles that when the first Armenian outrages occurred such action was contemplated by Russia, but the joint action of the powers made its execution impolitic. Now, it is understood, the tardiness of the powers has afforded the St. Petersburg Government the opportunity it seeks to step in and he the first on the ground if the Sultan’s domain is to be sliced up. Clergyman's Life in Danger. The law and order people and the criminal clement at Virginia, a small town on the Mesaba iron range, are likely to have trouble at any moment. Rev. O. J. Gary, the Methodist clergyman, has been attacking the wickedness of the city, and in consequence the men whose feelings have been hurt are threatening to kill him. The clergyman has been notified by white caps to leave the town at once on pain of death if he remains, but the plucky clergyman will make a fight.
