bor ' n rtbune, of Pittsburg. He i* not a delegate, nor present, but was selected on account of the knowledge he possesses on the subject 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 kas more than 12.000 cases awaiting its decision, and these do not include all that are to be brought before it. The'board will meet again during the first recess taken by the General Assembly. Reports have been published to the effect that the convention can take no action upon various constitutional amendments which have been proposed, for the reason that the constitution of the order requires that such amendments shall be submitted to local assemblies at least sixty days before their presentation to the General Assembly, and this has not been done. Mr. Powderly and members of the executive board aay that such reports are untrue; that the constitution requires that local assemblies desiring to offer amendments shall present them to the general secretary-treasurer sixty days before the convening of the General Assembly. The amendments now in the hands of the committee on laws were presented to the last convention, at Hamilton, Ont., so that, instead of sixty days’ notice, a year’s notice has been given. This question was brought up in the convention to-day, and the chairman ruled, and was sustained in his ruling by the General Assembly, that the constitution of the order can be revised at this session. Mr. Powderly to-dAy received the following ■telegram from Thomas Barry, a member of the executive committee, sent to Chicago to endeavor to settle the strike of the employes of the p 0.4 packers in that city: ‘‘The packers say they have no organization, *o 1 must treat with them as individual companies. We called on several firms yesterday, and all expressed a desire for settlement, but in - aist ou working ten hours, while the men are firm for eight. We look for a settlement this week." ’ . 1 Mr. Powderly has received almost hourly today telegrams commending the position he has taken in his letter on the race question. An (expensive Luxury. Bichmond Special. Unless the convention takes the bull by the horns by throwing parliamentary rules to the winds, as it has already done, and forgets for the time being that all men are equal, the tenth annual assembly will have proved an 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 nothing has been done in the last week except to demonstrate that self ts the ruling spirit and that the ramifications of the Home Club areof 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 that the convention eosts the workingmen who send representatives to it, nearly $5,000 per day. One Western delegate thus explained the fact that he was the only representative from his assembly: “It cost the assembly S3OO to send me: it isn’t made up of millionaires.” As the convention will do little work before Wednesday, it will by that time have coat not a great deal less than $50,000. Its holiday to-morrow will cost its constituents about $5,000. These are the estimates of Knights of Labor.

. THE STRIKE AT CHICAGO. Messrs. Barry aud Butler Given Power to Arrange a Settlement. Chicaoo, Oct 12.—The committee from the General Assembly of Knights of Labor this morning are having consultations with individual owners of the packing-houses, not finding it possible to meet with a committee representing the entire packing-house Interest. The general situation at the stockyards is unchanged. There are large waiting crowds about the houses this morning, but no disturbances have occurred. The beef men continue working, and the Armour bouse is running its pork department with a reduced force. The strike at the yards has spread, the latest men to go out being 110 employes of the Union Stookyards Transit Company. Os these, Bixty are section hands, and the balance work in the blaoksmith shop. The shop has been closed. The company notified the men that they would have to work ten honrs per day, and they refused. This has not, as yet, interfered with the business of the company. Fifteen* hundred of the strikers met to-night and listened to a report from Messrs. Barry and Bntler. They stated that they had as yet accomplished but little in the way of a settlement. A general discussion of the situation ensued, which resulted in giving the general executive board of District 57, together with Messrs. Barry and Butler, full power to arrange a settlement. An advisory committee representing the va rious branches of the work in the packinghouses was selected, and permanent headquarters will be established. A meeting of the packing-house proprietors was held this evening, but the result was not made public. Armour’s beef men are, it is understood, liable to be ordered out to-morrow or next day. Mr. Barry was questioned on the subject to-night, and said: “If the pending negotiations fall through, the men employed in the beef department at Armour’s will certainly be ordered out Mr. Butler, of the executive board of District Assembly 57, and myself will meet All the packers to-morrow and endeavor to effect a settlement. We have talked with most of the packers to day. There is only oue man standing in the way of an amicable settlement There is no probability that the men employed by Nelson, Morris & Cos. and Swift & Cos. will bo ordered ont We are satisfied with their position in this matter. We have succeeded to-day in systematizing some matters which were m a state of chaos. The situation will ohanee materially in the next twenty-four hours, but it is impossible to predict what the the change will be.” In a published interview concerning the stockyards 6trike, Mr. Armour says: “The day of Chicago's supremacy as a pork-packing center will soon be a thing of the past. Kansas City, Omaha, Cedar Rapips and other Western points are fast taking the business away from here. Take Kansas City, for instance. The price of hogs there is 25 cents per hundred leas that it is here, while freight rates to all Western and Southern points are as low as ours and her freight rates to the Atlantic seaboard are only 12, or at the most, 15 cents a hundred higher. It other words, Kansas City’s freight rates to the markets where 90 per cent of our products are sold are just as good as ours, while bogs are cheaper. What is trne of Kansas City is true in a greater or less deeree of other Western points. It is the natural course of events. The corn belt has moved west, and with it hog raising. It is history repeating itself. Only a few years ago Chioago took away the supremacy from Cincinnati and St. Louis. To show that this is not idle talk, brought on by the present trouble, I will say that l have not added a single brick to my packing house property here in Chicaeo, while in Kansas City, where I already have sl,600.000 worth of packing-house property, I have bnilt $300,000 worth additional this summer, and between now and next January will build another $300,000 worth." OTHER LABOR NEWS. The Strike on the N. Y., P. & O. Railway In Process of Adjustment. Cleveland, 0., Oct. 12.— Matters upon the Mahoningdivision of the New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio railroad are, to put it in Superintendent O’Brien’s words, “distressingly quiet, seeming almost like a succession of Sundays." But four engines are at work in the Cleveland yards. The idea of abandoning the freight business of the Mahoning division is looked upon by the men as nonsense. All of the night offices along the division, with the exception of four, are closed for the want of business. The men all say that they will never go to work again at the wages they have been receiving, and are more dotertoined now than ever to get what they consider their just demauds. Later. —A special from Mciuivillo, Pa,, says that the strike on the main line of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, among the brakemen, is over. At a meeting held there to-night General Superintendent Shsler made a proposition to grant the men trip passes, pay for overtime, A call boy and an additional man to coal

up at Jamestown. The men on the main line aecepted the terms, and will go to work to-mor-row. The same proposition will be made to the strikers at this end of the road, but it is not known if they will accept or not, as they originally demanded an advance of 25 cents a day in their pay. Lionizing Boycottere. New York, Pet 12.—The men convicted of boycotting brewer Theiss, who were pardoned by Governor Hill, were released from Sing Sing prison to-day, and reached the city this afternoon, escorted by delegations from various workingmen’s unions. A parade was to have been got up in their honor, but the superintendent of police forbade it They were, however, given a reception and banquet, and otherwise lionized. Strike of Minneapolis Coopers. Minneapolis, Oct 12. A strike has been contemplated by the coopers here for several weeks. They have been getting 12 to 14 cents per barrel, and want 16. This morning forty coopers in the Auld shop struck and went to the other shone, and at noon not one of the 700 coopers in the city was at work. THE EARTHQUAKE REGTON. A Section of South Carolina Where Shocks and Rumblings Are Almost Continuous. Charleston, S. C., Oct. 12.—A local scientist, known to be an accurate observer, was recently selected to investigate the story that earthquake shocks had been felt at Ninety-six, S. C., about thirty miles from the Georgia line, and one hundred miles from Charleston, for thirteen months past, and were increasing in frequency and vigor. His report confirms it. One influential farmer, J. McD. Kinard, living at the seat of the trouble, says he first heard the underground noise in January, 1885. It was then brief and dull, like the report of a cannon fired several miles from the observer. All others who were interviewed gave the same account of the noises, but did not notice them until September of last year. Mr. Kinard heard the noises frequently the first day, but did not hear them again for several weeks. The longest period of rest between the sounds, all agree, was just before the Charleston earthquake. The sound of that movement was not similar; it was like the roaring of a train of cars, and lasted longer than the others. The others were dull booms, without repetitions. They all caused houses to shake and sashes to rattle. A party of railroad graders, camped near Mr. Kinard, several months ago, were badly frightened by the noises. For the two weeks before last week the noises were heard night and day, and few persons had a single night of sound rest, , I f en reports were heard on Sunday night of last week, two of them so heavy that Dr. T. S. Blake, whose scientific attainments make him a credible witness, says he twice arose, thinking a thunder-storm was passing, but the sky was clear. The reports have been heard at intervals ever since. John Williamson says one shock on that Sunday night made his house, anew one, tremble for half a minute. He had a peculiar experience the Monday evening following. He was picking cotton, and was on his knees, when a shock came which jarred him all over and made him feel “pretty bad." Those shocks come from the southeast, and seem to be almost vertical impulses. The district affected is about ten miles square, cohering what is known as the Cambridge lands. The soil is tenacious red clay, of great fertility. The country is traversed by two creeks, which unite in Cambridge creek. The surface is generally undulating, except in the central portion, where the force of the shocks is the greatest. Here runs a high ridge, on each side of which is a deep and dusky hollow. Dr. Hamilton arrived from the shaken region to-day. He says the rumbling was more continuous last night thAn he ever knew it to be before, and the shocks were only surpassed by those which were felt when Charleston was so badly shaken. It was in that neighborhood, m a deep valley, that “Old Jockey Walker" used to hear the bombarding at Charleston during the war and count the reports. Dr. Blake insists that the noises are volcanic.

THE PROGRESS OF DAKOTA. The Territory Has Suffered from Drought but Great Gains Have Been Made. Secretaries Manning, Whitney anfl Bayard Retnrn to the National Capital—More About the Seizures of Fishing Vessels. DAKOTA TERRITORY. Its Growth and Prosperity ns Shown by Gov. Pierce’s Annual Report. Washington, Oct 12.—Hon. Gilbert A. Pierce, Governor of Dakota Territory, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, says: “The year has not been altogether as prosperous as was desired. Dakota suffering in common with the rest of the country from more or less business prostration and from the drought which injured the small grain*, thereby materially lessening the yield. The drought was not general, however, but local in its character, some parts of the Territory showing large yields, while in others the failure was almost complete. It is difficult to estimate correctly the shortage in the crops over last year, but I think it safe to say that in wheat and oats it will be at least onethird, and, 1 fear, more. Flax, rye and barley also suffered, but to what extent it. is impossible to say. The yields of potatoes and other roots will probably b* near up to the average. The cattle industry has devoloped very rapidly during the year in other parts of the Territory. It has been supposed that the large cattle ranches must be confined to the western part of the Territory, where the abundant grass and limited snowfall enable cattle to graze during the winter months. Late experiments have demonstrated, however, that cattle-raising can be profitably pursued even in the extreme northern part of the Territory, and the result has been the establishment of large cattle ranches in various sections. The bonded debt of the Territory remains the same as one year ago, namely. $568,200. The assessment of 1885 shows an increase over last year of about $24,000,000, making the total assessment for the year about $130,000,000. The tax for Territorial purposes for the year 1886 is but 2 4 10 mills. The total county indebtedness of the Territory, bonded and floating, is a little over $3,000,000. School statistics for the last year have not yet been received, but there is no doubt but the remarkable progress shown daring the fiscal year of 1885 is continued. On the subject of the growth and development of the Territory the Governor quotes at some length from the report of the Commissioner of Immigration, whicn says: “There were 22,431 new filings on the public lands during the year under the three general land laws, aividert as follows: Homesteads, 7,466; pre-emptions, 7,894, and tree claims, 7.071. The area newly filed on durine the year was 3,565.366 acres. There were 9,962 final proofs made during the year. The sales of land by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company during the year are estimated at 25.000 acres. The total increase in population of the Territory for the year is estimated at 85,000, giving Dakota a population, on June 30, 1886, of fully 500.000. The railroad building of 1886 bids fair to be ranch greater than for any previous year in the history of the Territory. The Govornor estimates the total construction of railroad in the Territory, of 1886, at 800 miles. In conclusion, the Governor discusses the subject of the admission of Dakota into the Union, and adds: “I renew my recommendation, most earnestlv, that this great people be no longer kept from their rightful heritage, but be permitted a share and voice in that government they honor by their public spirit and sustain by their industry."

MINOR MATTERS. Secretaries Manning, Bayard and Whitney Return to the Capital. Washington, Oct 12. —The limited express on the Pennsylvania railroad, which arrived in this city at 9 o’clock to-night from New York, brought a distinguished party in the persons of Secretaries Bayand, Manning and Whitney. Treasurer Jordan, Mr. Miller, Coramis|if> np r of Internal Revenue, and Mr. Snyder. Deputy Comptroller of the Currency, boarded the train at Baltimore and accompanied the Secretaries totbißcity. A number of Trea-ury officials met the party at the depot. Mr. Manning appeared to be in excellent health, and he walked from the train to the carriage, with Mrs. Manning leaning ou his arm, as erect and straight as ever, and without any visible indication of the long illnesßfrom which he has so recently recovered. It was remarked by many who saw him for the first time since he was stricken down that he looked as little like a man whose life was despaired of only a few weeks ago as it was possible to conceive. He appeared less fatigued from the journey that did either of his colleagues in the Cabinet who accompanied him. He looked bright, seemed to be in good spirits, conversed cheerfully with his companions, and pleasantly greeted those who had assembled to meet him. He was driven directly from the depot to his residence. . The Seizures of Fishing Vessels. Washington, Oct. 12. —Advices received at the State Department this morning corroborate the published report of the hauling down of the American flag on the American schooner Marion Grimes, atShelburne, by Captain Quigley, of the Canadian cruiser Terror. The action ot the captain ot the Grimes in running up the colors while the vessel was in the custody of Canadian officers is deprecated at the department as likely to needlessly complicate the department in its effort to reach a satisfactory settlement of the fisheries question. It appears that when the United States cutter Corwin seized the British sailing vessels in Alaskan waters, the first official act of the captors was to haul down the British colors. Ground for taking such actiou is found in the claim that, until the seized vessel is released, she is technically in the possession of the. government making the seizure. This last incident is not regarded at the State Department as one likely to cause any serious trouble, and may be passed over without further notice. Appointments by the President. Washington, Oct. 12.—The President made the following appointments to-day. William L. Maginnis, of Ohio, to be Chiefjustice of the Snpretne Court of the Territory of Wyoming: W. H. D. Cochrane, of Nassau. N. H.. to be pension agent at Concord, N. H.; Daniel J. Sullivan, of Prescott, A. TANARUS., to be receiver of public moneys at Prescott. A. TANARUS.; David K. Ward well, of Tombstone, A. T.. to be aeeut for the Indians of the Lemhi agency, in Idaho Territory; Ellis Briggs, postmaster at Rood house, 111., vice John Roodhouse, resigned; Michael Sullivan, postmaster at Marshall. Minn., vice S. D. How, resigned; John Stuart, postmaster at Pipestone, Minn., vice D E. Sweet, suspended. Removal of Mr. Chase's Remains. Washington. Oct. 12 —The arrangements, as finally completed with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad authorities, for the transfer of the remaius of the late Chief-justice Chase to Cincinnati, are as follows: The funeral train will consist of the two private cars of President Robert Garret* and Vice president Spencer, two sleepers and one baggage car. The train will be special, and will precede the regular 3:30 p. m. train. President Garrett will accompany the remains on the fnneral train to Cincinnati, and act as one of the pall-bearers. General and Personal. Washington, Oe*. 12.—Brigadier-general J. H. Potter was retired to day upon becoming sixty-four years of age. This makes three important army vacancies, caused by the retirement of Gene als NeWton, Murray and Potter, and it is rumoi ad that all are to bo filled simultaneously. The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics reports the total values of the exports of breadstuff* As follows: September, 1886, sl4 282.528; 1885, $9,007,713. Nine months ended Sept 30. 180. $110,828,599; 1885, $102,190,798. • 1 —' .. Taxation of National Banks, New York, Oct. 12.—Judge Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court, rendered a decision

to-day of much importance to the tax-payers of New York directly, and to the entire country generally, involving many millions of dollars. About a year ago Receiver of Taxes George W. McLean levied a tax upon the shares of national banks. The banks, as representing the shareholders. resisted the demands of the receiver and obtained an injunction, restraining him from collecting the tax. The decision of Judge Wallace is made upon n motion of thirty-five of the banks to have the injunction made permanent. The motion for an injunction is denied. OUTDOOR, SPORTS.

• Passeneer Train Wrecked. Plainfield, N. J., Oct. 12.—The 3:45 p. m. Philadelphia exnre9s train was wrecked at the Grand avenue station, in this city, at 5:20 this afternoon, while running at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The entire train, consisting of smoker, two parlor cars and two coaches, ran over one hundred yards after leaving the track, but no one was injured, except the fireman, who was pitched violently forward and bruised about the chest. The train was under the direction of .Tohn Merritt, conductor, and William Rhodes, engineer. The accident was caused bv a misplaced switch. The cars, except the smoker, are but little damaged. Hewitt on Randall and Morrison. New York, Oct. 12.—1n his speech, to-day, bpfore the meeting of merchants interested in tariff reform. Hon. A. S. Hewitt said that the Democratic party was wholly responsible for the oppressions and injustice of the tariff. The reform in the tariff should begin at the bottom by reduction of duties on raw materials. He declared that Messrs. Randall and Morrison should have been taken by the ears and their heads knocked together for their course in regard to tariff legislation. Mr. Hewitt has not yet signified whether or not he will accept Tammany’s nomination for Mayor. Steamship News. Queenstown, Oct. 12.—Arrived: Alaska, from New York.

Frank Hamilton, aeed seven, of "Waynesbnrg, Stark county, an inmate of the Ohio* Institute for Deaf and Dumb, died a' horrible death this morning, after three days’ suffering of a roost intense nature. He was one of about 400 inmates of the institution, and Thursday morning Henry Doebler, the attendant, found that the boy was in an uncleanly condition and took him to the bath. Turning on the water, he left the partly-imbecile youth in the tub, and as soon as the cold water in the faucet bad run out the scalding water came pouring in and surrounded trie boy to the waist. He was unable to speak or help himself, and when the attendant returned the lad was in a faint and exhausted condition. On being lifted from the batn tub nearly the whole of the skin fell from the lower part of the body. The boy remained in agony until this morning, when he died. Doebler came to the institution some weeks ago from Mansfield, 0., having applied to the Y. M. C. A. in this city for work, and they secured the position for him. He appears to have been a tramp, and there is the greatest indignation, both about the institution and outside, over the fact that the boy met with the treatment which cost his life. There is a report among the other employes of the institution that Doebler was out of patience with the boy for the reason that he required so much care, and that he placed him in the hot water with the expectation of punishing him, though he did not expect to scieid him to death. Regulating the Liquor Traffic, Indianapolis News. If we made the hope of securing a more rigid regulation and higher license of the liquor traffic. the deciding issue in voting in this State campaign, we would vote for the Republican legislative ticket. There is more to be expected from a Republican Legislature in this wav without promise than from a Democratic Legislature with the most solemn asservation—provided always that the popular concentration on the question is not to that point of intensity which brings it to '‘men’s business and bosoms.” When that is the case every party will he swift to obey, as in Maine to-day where neither party would dare abrogate prohibition. Such a condition, as we have said, we think is not yet in this State. It is approaching it rapidly. A little more political hypocrisy: a little more political deception; a continuance of the violation of law by the saloons with the connivance of the police; further manifestation of the arrogant domination of the Liquor Leaeue, and the autocratic control of the saloon in politics, and the popular concentration on this question in Indian* will come and lift the State alongside her sisters in the way of high license and local option. Till then our notion of procedure for one who makes this his chief concern is: vote tbe Republican legislative ticket: agitate through the press, and on the stump, and in the parlor, and at the corner grocery, concerning the evils of the existing condition of the liquor traffio.

NEW YORK’S DISHONEST ALDERMEN. i Mr. Sayles Flees to Canada and the Others Are Forthwith Placed Under Arrest. New York, Oct 12. At 1:30 o’clock this af ternooae Inspector Byrnes received a bulky package from tbe district attorney’s office. It contained an order from the district attorney, accompanied oy bench warrants for the arrest of all the ‘‘boodle’’ aldermen of tbe board of 1884, save Henry L. Sayles, whose flight to Canada has inspired the crusade, the prosecution of which was thus placed in the hands of Inspector Byrnes. Results were first felt down at the district attorney’s office at 3 o’clock. Inspector Byrnes had at once put all his available men at work to serve the warrants. Alderman Patrick Farley had been the first who was made to feel the indrawing force of the big drag-net which had been again spread out over the entire city to envelop the handful of men, the craven fears of whose colleague, Sayles, had once more set tbe judicial waters in a foam about them. At the hour named he was brought in by detectives and at once taken to the district attorney’s office, and from there into court, accompanied by his attorney and by counsel for the other “boodlers.*’ who had got wind of the raid. The district attorney, addressing the court, recited the facts of Savles's flight, detailed the facts of the cases having been put on the calendar, and stated that he had now caused bench warrants to be issued for the rearrest of not only the four whose trial day had been fixed, but of all others under indictment. The district attorney asserted that since the flight of Sayles he had no longer had any faith in anybody. He doubted whether any amount of bail would keep the others within the court’s jurisdiction, but in case the court should decline to hold the men without bail he would ask that it be increased in each case from $25,000, the present amount, to $75,000. Counsel for the “boodlers” pleaded against an increase in the amount of bail, but the court decided to make it $40,000 in each case. Alderman Kirk, who had come in voluntarily in the meantime. at once gave bail and went away. Then, one after the other, the detectives brought in Aldermen Miller, Cleary, McQuade and McCabe. Os these, Cleary, McCabe and McQuade secured the additional bail during the early evening. Farley and Miller were unable to furnish the added security, and were locked up in the Tombs for the night. Later on. Aldermen Shiels, O’Neil and O’Reilly were arrested and were locked up. Pierson was seen in Brooklyn to-night by a reporter, to whom he said he would be at the. district attorney’s office to-morrow morning, to give the extra bail. Thus nine have been arrested and disposed of as stated, and there yet remain to be arrested or reported Duffey, Fink, Follgraff and Wendell. The case of the absent Sayles has been placed on the calendar for to morrow. He will not respond, the bail will be declared forfeited, and immediate steps will be taken to secure and enter juderaent against the bondsmen. Should it be returned unsatisfied, by reason of conveyance of the property, the corporation counsel will be called upon to bring suit to render the transfer invalid on the ground of fraudulent intent.

Professor Collett states that he has observed that previous to the earthquake the welis bored in northern Indiana for natural gas gave little indication of yielding angthing. Since the shake many of these wells are givine oat immense volumes of gas and considerable quantities of oil.
