their strike until the railroads submitted to arbitration. They claim to hare plenty of money. Mayor Ames, in his second proclamation, says, after referring to the failure to bring about arbitration: "I do now declare that, irrespective of all said variances, said traffic must be resumed. I further command that all persous abstain from acts of violence or interference with the lawful movements of trains, and I warn all persons that anyone found so committing acts of violence to persons or property, or interfering with the railroad traffic, will be promptly arrested and dealt with according to law.” K. OF L. GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

A Large Amount of Business Transacted at Yesterday's Sessions. Richmond, Va., Oct. 18.- Delegates to the General Assembly Knights of Labor are loath to speak about it, but there were scarcely 500 of of them in convention when it was called to order at 9 o’clock this morning. Scores of them departed from the city on last night’s trains, and many more have settled their hotel bills and will leave to-day. There is, therefore, every reason for adjournment within the next thirty hours. The officers say the work of revising the' laws will be taken up in regular order and pushed through to-day, the object being to complete all of this before the close of the afternoon session. There will be, it is believed, nothing radical in the matter of boycotts. Nearly every one is in favor of increasing the salaries of the general officers. That of general master workman will likely he raised to $2,500 or $3,000 from $1,500, and the other officers may get $1,500 or SI,BOO, whereas they now receive SI,OOO annually. At the forenoon session, Thomas O’Reilly, of the telegraphers’ district, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the organized powe of the order of the Knights of Labor be directed in 'i.m&nding at the hands of Congress the passage of a measure recommending the purchase, under the right of eminent domain, of the telegraph system of the country; that it is the duty of all to assist in nominating and support - ing with their votes only such candidates as will pledge thoir support to such a measure, and that special instructions be issued to the legislative committee at Washington to agitate for such ownership, and make governmental telegraph one of the burning questions of the day. In introducing the resolution, Mr. O’Reilly called attention to the fact that telegraph lines in every country except the United States and Canada are owned by the government, and claimed that it was an absolute necessity here that the telegraph system should be controlled by the government in the public interest. The action taken by the General Assembly on Saturday in reference to the clause of the revised constitution relating to national trade districts was reconsidered, and when an effort was made to readopt the clause as amended it failed for lack of a two-thirds vote. It was then moved to refer all of that part of the revised constitution not yet acted on to the executive board and a special committee of four to take action on it and submit the result of their labors to the local assemblies for their approval. Action on this motion was pending when the noon recess was taken. The action taken by the General Assembly with reference to national trade districts, to-day, leaves matters in that respect exactly where they were before the convention. The motion to refer the balance of the revised constitution to the executive board and a committee of four was adopted. The committee has not yet beeu appointed. Similar action was taken with the balance of the report of the committee on lava* including all documents on the revision of the constitution. The committee on the state of the order was then accorded the floor, and kept it until the close of the session. All matters referred to in the reports of the general master workman and general secretary-treasurer were indorsed. The report of the committee on the investigation of the cigar-makers in New York was adopted. The report of the legislative committee that sat at Washington during the last sessiou of Congress was indorsed. A supplementary report of the same committee, suggesting the formation of a congress of thirty-eight Knights of Labor to sit in Washington during the session of Congress, was ordered to be referred to the local assemblies for their approval or disapproval. The report of the special committee on woman’s work was indorsed. The resolution expressing the sympathy of the order with Ireland was adopted. The report of the special committee on the Southwest railroad strikes was indorsed. All matter in relation to stamps, labels or protective designs placed on articles made by Kn : Mtf3 of Labor were referred to the executive board. A resolution in favor of the establishment of libraries in State capitals, where may be kept complete collections of all literature relating to labor, was adopted. Resolutions relating to lecturers of the order were referred to the executive board. Resolutions in relation to the promotion of harmony between Knights of Labor and tradeunions, and also in reference to the admission of trade-unions into the order, were referred to the executive board. Resolution? advising members of the order "to severely let alone” certain newspapers were referred to the executive board. A resolution in favor of requiring that the factory number be printed on all cigar labels was adopted. A proposition in favor of establishing orphan asylums for the children of deceased members of the order was referred to local assemblies, with favorable mention. A resolution in reference to education of members of the order in its principles was reported favorably. It was resolved that hereafter all aid granted to member* of the order shall be indorsed on their traveling cards. Resolutions in reference to convict labor were adopted. They call on members to do all in their power to eradicate convict labor by endeavoring to destroy the market for it Resolutions were also adopted in relation to letectives who endeavor to enter the order. It was also resolved to recommend to all local assemblies to work and vote only for those candidates for political office who pledge themselves to sustain the principles contained in the preamble to the constitution of the Knights of Labor. Resolutions in regard to the admissiou of colored apprentices in shops and factories were adopted. They favor the admission of colored apprentices on the same basis as white apprentices. The question of granting a charter to the shoe and leather-workers was referred to the executive board. A motion was adopted that representatives of the order attend the coming meeting of prison wardens. Resolutions were adopted requiring members df the order “to leave severely alone" the stogies and tips made by Hood & Cos., of Barnesville, O. The committee reported unfavorably on a proposal to adopt a burial service for members of the orders The memorial in relation to sewing women was referred to the special committee on women’s work. A resolution was adopted that hereafter a special committee of seven, on credentials, be sppointed. and meet four days previous to the session of the General Assembly, to hear testimony and report on all contested-seat cases. It was voted that a committee be appointed to promote fraternal relations between the Knights ind the Patrons of Husbandry. It is now hoped that the convention may adjourn to-morrow evening. There only remain to be presented the reports of committees on jnauce and appeals and grievances, and six special committees. A Farmer’s Opinion of the Convention. QtichinomJ. Va., Special. “What are the principles of the Knights of Labor!” I asked of one of the most intelligent ielegates, a farmer from the State of Illinois. “Principles!" said be; “I don’t think we have toy; we have merely a list of grievances, and so far no principles have been formulated, pond -s you newspaper men are of alliterative and erse sentences, you might call it the squirming >t the squeezed.'* “Capital,” I responded; “that

would make a good display head.” “The fact is,” continued this delegate, “I joined the Knights of Labor because I feel that the farmers in the West are being squeezed on all sides by monopolies, and I believed some good will come out of the movement.” “What do you think of the action of the convention!" “Action, you call it? Inaction would be a more accurate term. I am disappointed—almost disgusted—at the struggle I have seen here for two weeks for control of this organization. Knights of Leisure someone calls them. That is an excellent title for those professional Knights of Labor who have kept us Western farmers here from our fall work while they squabble over who shall be the Knights of Leisure and who shall be the Knights of Labor for the coming yei.r.” ‘ 4 £re you satisfied with the representation you have on the board?” "The great West is practically unrepresented. They seem to think they can get along without us.* Well, we farmers can get along without them. We are rather an independent set, and I don’t think many of us are hungering and thirsting after the offices over which this great struggle has been made/ OTHER LABOR NEWS. Anxiety Over a Threatened Strike of Three Thousand Coal-Miners. Shamokin, Pa., Oct 18.—The result of the miners’ meeting at Excelsior, last Saturday, has created considerable concern in business circles in this valley. Should the 3,000 miners go out, it will be a severe blow to this town and Mount CarmeL Inquiry made to-day shows that the operators are not disposed to make any concessions. The large Pennsylvania colliery at Monnt Carmel and the mines at Williamstown have already made unsuccessful efforts to secure the restoration of the 10 per cent reduction, owing to the fact that other colliers and the miners of the union coal companies in this district and Nanticoke refused to join in making a united demand for the advance. Many of the thinking miners are opposed to the present movement, seeing inevitable failure unless all the shipments can be stopped. A Little Strike at Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute, Oct 18. —About fifty blacksmiths and helpers at the Terre Haute car-works went out on strike to day, because the company refused to discharge the foreman, who, they allege, is overbearing in his manner toward them. Later in the day some of the strikers returned to work, and the prospect is that the strike will not seriously interfere with the work of the company.

Labor and Industrial Notes. Philadelphia Record. The knitting-mills lockout iff New York involves 25,000 persons. Fifty-uine mills are in the combination. The bartenders of New York have formed a union of 400 men. They are demanding $3 per day and ten hours. The Amalgamated Building Trades of Cincinnati are prosperous and control the building interests of that city. The necessity of pure water for silk manufacturing purposes has led to a very general sinking of artesian wells in Paterson, N. J. The Fall River manufacturers used 206.641 bales of the last season’s cotton crop, or 43,819 bales more than during any former season. The silk manufacturers of Italy have formed a syndicate for the control of the silk industry and silk culture in the interest of higher and regular prices. The Knights assort that there is a preconcerted movemeut by the employers in the cloakmaking trades of Boston to break up the girls' organization. Tho Boston district attorney has promised to proceed against certain firms importing labor under contract, aud against sea captains for violating the law in such matters. Reports from the Pacific coast seem to indicate that the Chinese are returning to their homes in larger numbers this year than usual. A ship will sail this week with 350, aud another ship-load will go next month. Labor is in demand in shops and mills supplying railway appliances. The railroad companies are the heaviest buyers of products of iron, steel and lumber, and their orders at the present time are at. least double the volume at any preceding date. The New York co-operative plumber shops are making good headway. The union, which numbers 2.500 plumbers. will keep them going after the strike is over. The sum of SIO,OOO was voted at Richmond to continue the strike. The employers show no weakness. A British Chinese consul writes home that “our sheetings and cotton piece goods are utterly unfit, whether in yarn, in length, in make or in width, for the ordinary clothing worn by the millions. ‘American,’ from the point of view of the Chinese dealer, is synonymous with ‘excellent.’ " The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers meets in New York on Wednesday. About 400 delegates are expected to be present. The Metropolitan Opera-house has been engaged. W. K. Vanderbilt has subscribed SSOO for a local entertainment; Cyrus Field gave $250, and Jay Gould $250, but when tho committee called Gould made it SSOO. Southern employers of labor, especially in the cotton fields, have for years complained of the shifllessDess and great cost of labor. A cotton-picking machine has at last been perfected which committees of the New York and Charleston cotton exchanges say picks at the rate of 180 pounds per hour, or three bales per day. The only present drawback is its cost: but if half the complaints against labor are genuine the machine will meet with a rapid sale. Manufacturers of iron and steel have been induced within a few weeks to give more earnest attention to the facilities for cheap iron-making on the line of the Norfolk & Western road, in Virginia, where ore and fuel re nearer together than anywhere else on the continent. The Richmond Chamber of Commerce has taken steps to show Northern capitalists why that section is a better one for iron-making than northern Alabama. Southern employers of labor are contemplating the erection of houses for incoming workmen, in order to open the way for greater immigration. The textile manufacturers and work-people are delighted over the excellent trade prospects. The silk manufacturing interests are highly pleased over the unexpected development of the home industry. .Manufactured silk goods imports have declined from $34,000,000 in 1884 to $26,000,000 during the last fiscal year. Raw silk imports increased 40 per cent, in the same time. The decrease in the value of imported silk goods was 38 per eent.. in ribbons 52 per cent., and in braids and bindings the same. Sewings and twist production has increased from 12 to 15 per cent The trimmings made in home markets suit them much better than imported goods. Many new mills have been built, and numerous extensions have been made. A colony of enthusiasts is about being formed on Topolobampo Harbor, Mexico, composed of well-to-do Americans, under the leadership of Col. A K. Owen, a West Chester civil engineer of national reputation, who has Also on band the construction of anew transcontinental road. Fifteen thousand shares of stock have been subscribed for at $lO each. They are to have their own money—a sort of greenback, good for all services among themselves. No speculation in land or property will be allowed. All stores will be required to sell goods at the same prices. A central organization will control. The colonists have never met and do not know each other. Ex-Secretary Windom is indirectly interested, aud is president of the railroad company. Steamship News. London, Oct. 18.—Arrived: Erin, from New York. Glasgow, Oct. 18.—Arrived: State of Georgia, from New York. Queenstown. Oct. 18.—Arrived: City of Chester, from New York. Southampton, Oct. 18.—Arrived: Fulda, from New York for Bremen. New York.

SERIOUS LOSSES BY FLAMES. The Village of Oakland, 111., Likely To Be Destroyed by a Conflagration. Loss to the Extent of $300,000 Inflicted and the Fire Still Raging—A Million Dollars Lost by the Fire at Salisbury, Md. Oakland, 111, Oct. 18.—The greater part of the business portion of Oakland is in ruins. Fire broke out at 7:30 this evening, and at midnight the scene beggars description. Whole blocks are masses of burning debris. The fire is still raeing, with no means other than buckets to quell it. The fire originated in Chapman <te Son’s building, on the southeast side of the square. At this hour (11 P. m.) it is thought the building was set on fire. It is used as a grocery, but lately the block was so run down that it was seldom used. The wind blew from the ea3t and south, and cinders flew in every direction. The drug and dry goods stores, meat market and hardware establishments, in fact, nearly every branch of business, were gutted of their contents until the heat forced all to quit Fire companies from Paris, Terre Haute, and Charleston have been telegraphed for. The following business houses are burned, but the individual losses and insurance cannot be learned: South-side—Gilbert’s boot store; McConkey, books; William Campbell, harness; Bowman & Gregory, furniture, two stores; Walter Ashmore, dry goods; W. R. Barber, hardware; Ed Coneghan, dry goods and grocery; two empty store rooms; two more rooms filled with dry goods, aud a great many more losses. The total loss will probably amount to over $300,000; covered by at least one-third insurance on the whole. As Barber’s building was burning, 300 pounds of powder exploded, causing great excitement, but no injury was done to any one. The fire is still ragiDg, and no outside help has come. The Great Fire at Salisbury, Md. Salisbury, Md., Oct. 18.—This town, which was nearly destroyed by fire last night, is the county-seat of Wicomico county, and has been before destroyed by fire. It is the principal lumber trading point of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and for many years has done a prosperous business. It is situated at the head of navigation on the Wicomico river, which extends up to the pine and cypress regions of lower Delaware. As far as can be ascertained the following are the principal losses and insurance: J. W. Gunby. store. $8,000; insurance. $4,000; stock. $35,000; insurance, $22,000. Toadvin & Dormen. stocks. $25,000; insurance, $8,500. S. F. Toadvin, house and stock of groceries and mill, $13,000: insurance. $9,000, B. L Gillis & Cos., stocks. $20,000: partlv insured. A. F. Parsons & Cos., stocK, $40,000; partlv insured. Brickhead, Laws & Carry, stock. $30,000; insurance, abeut $20,000. R. E. Powell & Cos., building, $4,500; mostly insured; stock, $35,000; insurance, $25,000. F. T. Fowler, stock. $15,000; insurance, about SI,OOO S. P. Woodcock & Cos., stock, about $3,000; partly insured. J. Cannon & Son, dwelling, store and stock, $20,000; insurance, $12,500. E. F. Jackson & Cos.. mills and lumber, $75,000; insurance, $30,000. Opera-house, owned by Mrs. Bvrd. insurance not known. A large number of buildings were destroyed, on which the loss will in each case fall below SIO,OOO. Tho total loss is now estimated at over half a million. Later.— The loss is now estimated at full one million There are but two stores left, and many people are without, food and places to sleep. The distress is very great.

Heavy Loss in New York. New York, Oct. 18.—A destructive fire occurred to-night at 11 o’clock in Goerick street, between Sixth and Stanton. Six factory buildings owned by ex-Alderman Kerher were destroyed, besides the five-story brick worksjtop of Kerher’s American Desk ManufacturingUompany. The buildings on Goerick street wore occupied by L. Oltman & Cos., table manufacturers, and bv Sternberg & Unger, cigar-box makers. Loss, $200,000. Fire at Canajoliarie, N. Y. Canajoharie. N. Y., Oct. 18. —The Juvet & Cos. time-globe works, of this village, was totally destroyed bv fire to-day. Loss, $35,000; insured for SIB,OOO. . TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Henry Combs, agent of the Long Island railroad, at W-stbury, was arrested yesterday. There is a large deficiency in his accouuts. Henry Souder. a butcher of Toledo, was found dead in his room yesterday morning, with a bullet-hole through his heart. A fellow workman, Henry Boestaker, is suspected of having committed the crime, aud is under arrest. H. M. Doak. at present editor-in-chief of the Memphis Avalanche, yesterday received official notice of his appointment to be clerk of the United States Court for the Middle district of Tennessee, with headquarters at Nashville. Henry George, labor candidate for Mayor of New York, has written an open letter to Abram S. Hewitt, Democratic candidate for the same office, criticising the latter’s letter of acceptance, and challenging him to a public debate of the issues between the two parties. At a meeting of the Connellsville coke syndicate, yesterday, it was decided to reaffirm the selling price of coke, and to run all of the ovens at their full capacity. The operators complain of the scarcity of cars, which prevents them shipping their output promptly. The trade has improve 50 per cent, since this time last, year. A man was found last night, stripped naked to the waist, in Bleecker street.. New York, preach iug to a crowd of mer. and hoys. He was crazy. He was taken to a police station, and after his insane mood had been quieted, said his name was Charies William Henry Clinton, a drover of San Francisco. He spoke of D. O. Mills, the banker, as a friend, and knew Captain Lees, of the San Francisco detective force. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital. When the case of ex-Alderman Henry L. Sayles, the latest addition to the American colony in Canada, was called in the New York City Court of General Sessions, yesterday, the habitues and officials were much surprised at the presentation of a check of $25,000 to .Judge Cowing by the bondsman, Sol Sayles. Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of lawyer Richard Newcombe. ex-Alderman McCabe’s attorney, a motion by tho district attorney to have his trial set down for the 21st inst. was granted. McCabe was then committed to the Tombs to await trial. Business Embarrassments. New York. Oct. 18 —The Corrugated Steel Box and Band Company made an assignment today. The liabilities are $50,000, aud the assets $20,000. Louisville, Oct. 18—The Rudolph Finzer Tobacco Manufacturing Company assigned this afternoon. The liabilities are reported at $30,000; assets. $40,000. The assignment was caused by general depression and notes falling due. Cincinnati. Oct 18.—King Brothers & Cos., wholosale cotton factors, assigned to-day to Charles M. Domhoff. The assets are estimated at $50,000; liabilities. $40,000. This is attributed to the failure of I. Welier& Cos., peanut dealers, last week, this firm carrying a quantity of Weller & Co.’s paper. A Chinaman Refused Citizenship. Chicago, Oct. 18. —An application for naturalization as a citizen of the United States madn to Judge Prendergast in the county court to-day by Moy Ah Kee, a Chinese laundryman, was refused on account of tho applicant’s nationnltty. Moy presented his first papers, issued by the SuErerno Court of New York city, five years ago. a refusing the application, Judge

Prendergast said he was in great doubt as to the eligibility -of Chinese to become citizens, aud told Moy to employ a lawyer, whose argument qould be heard at a future day. Moy has been in the United States fifteen years, has bis fam--1 ily with him, and is desirous of becoming a citizen. It would seem, nevertheless, Judge Prendergast said, that the law is against him, and is well settled by the decisions of Judge Sawyer, of the Circuit Court of California; of Judge Choate, of the United States Court of New York, and of Judge Moran, in the Criminal Court of Cook county, in 1881. They all hold that the naturalization law of Feb. 18, 1875, is decisive on the negative side of the question. That law.provides that “Any alien, being a free white person, or an African, or the descendant of an African, may be admitted to become a citizen.” A native of China, therefore, being neither a white person nor an African, can not be naturalized. THE SOUTHERN DISASTER. Later Reports Show that Previous Telegrams Underestimated Its Extent. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 18.—The local Telief committee who visited Sabine Pass and went as far as the entrance to Johnson’s bayou brought back with them a complete list of the names of the colored people who were drowned at Sabine. A remarkable feature of this list of sixty-two names is the repetition of certain surnames, showing that many members of the same family are among the lost For example, there are seven Johnsons, ten Hudnots, and fourteen bearing the name of Joonigan, while none of these names appear among the whites that were lost. Among the colored lost there are thirty bodies still missfng, while all but fifteen whites have been recovered and interred. It is thought that some of these missing bodies are stuck in the mud, which is several feet deep on the bottom of Sabine bay, and in the river fronting the spot where the toyn formerly stood. Measures tor the relief of the distressed are being actively pressed at Houston, Galveston and other cities. The Galveston committee, who returned last night, have issued a second appeal to the citizens, and new subscription lists will be circulated to morrow. The members of the local committees say the calamity grows with each hour. All tidings from the devastated region make the disaster far greater and more distressing than at first thought possible. M. Lasker, of the committee, was one of the thousand or more who fled for their lives on the night of the Galveston great fire. He also recently visited the drought-stricken district of north west Texas, but declares that neither of these calamities compares in point of suffering and distress with what he witnessed on Sunday at Sabine and Johnson’s Bayou. The Mayor of Orange to day telegraphed Mayor Fulton, asking for assistance to care for the survivors, who are crowding into that place. The City Council this evening appropriated S3OO. which Mayor Fulton to-night telegraphed to the Mayor of Orange. Capt. James B. Eads, the celebrated engineer, has telegraphed SIOO from Denver. and the WellsFargo Express aud Western Union Telegraph companies are carrying packages and messages for the benefit of the sufferers free of charge. Right Rev. Bishop Gallagher, of this diocese, has telegraphed the Mayors of Beaumont and Orange, requesting them to inform all persons concerned that he will take care and provide for all orphans under twelve years of age who lost their parents bv the storm. They will be placed in the Catholic Orphan Asylum here, under care of the Sisters of Charity. A Dew danger seems to have sprung up in the vicinity of Sabine that has scared the searchers for the unfortunates. The cattle have become dangerous wild animals. The watering pools have been filled with sea water and the cattle are wild with thirst. On Saturday evening a steer chased three men who were walking along the edge of the bayou, and would probably have killed them if they had not succeeded in reaching their boat. When the stoer saw he was foiled he seemed to become more furious, plowing up the sand with his horns aud bellowing loudly.

"CHRISTIAN UNITY." Rev. It. Heber Newton Upon the "Apostolic” Claim of the Episcopal Church. New York Special. “That all may be one," was the text upon which the Rev. R. Heber Newton, of the All Souls’ Protestant Episcopal Church, preached this morning. His subject was “The Episcopal Church and Christian Union,” and he said, in substance: Tho General Convention of our church, now in session in Chicago, is being petitioned to take such step3 as, in its judgment, may be practicable to hasten forward some substantial union among the churches of Christendom. Let us seriously consider what wo need to give up for the sake of some effective union. We must give up our characteristic attitude toward our sister churches. We are in size only the fifth of tho denominations. In intellectual forcefulm-3S we cannot claim to rival Congregationalism or Unitarianisrn. In organization we do not approach the Catholic Church. In missionary zeal we are behind the Presbyterians, and in evangelical enthusiasm as far behind the Methodists. We have no monopoly of the fruits of the spirit. Fancy any steps toward union proceeding from a church which should style itself “The American Apostolic Church." We must give up our dream of iiturgicai uniformity. The Book Annexed will he defeated because of this felt need. We must give up our excellent dream of absorbing other churches, and then ourselves becoming absorbed in a reunited Catholic Church. Very beautiful is the dream of a united Holy Catholic Church, such as once existed, but it is several centuries out of date. Rome and Protestantism are no nearer an ecclesiastical union, despite the earnest Oxford movement, than they were immediately after Luther’s death. No Protestant church of the land is longing to be swallowed entire by our church. Whatever may come to pass in the distant future, such a restored Christendom is not within sight, or a practical idea. Federation is the word which solves the problem of political unity and of ecclesiastical union; also, we may have the united church of America in such a union or federation; all the good evolved by each denomination will be preserved for the religion of the future. Our church can justly hope that she will yield a wise policy, a noble liturgy. The immediate steps toward a practical federation of the churches of America lie partly in the direction of a better feeling and partly in the line of a practical action in regard to work. Let our church take the initiative in this, let our House of Bishops isaue a pastoral counseling our clerev to refrain from preaching learned sermons proving the errors of other churches and vaunting the claims of our own church; then let tho bishops themselves set an example to the flock of this novel tnod£ of commending ourselves t<* others, let that pastoral urge on clergy the duty of fraternizing in every possible way with other Christians: and again let our bishops show us the way thereto, let that letter suggest our preaching in other pulpits, and. as hospitality demands a return of courtesies, let the convention repeal the canons which close our pulpits against all non-Episeopal ordained clergy. No principle of church membership, churc’nmanship can be violated in occasional officiating in th pulpit of such clergy. As to practical work, let our convention propose to the other churches a common following of Paul’s rule: ‘I build not on another man’s foundation.’ Let it seriously suggest to other churches an agreement to carry on domestic missionary work on this principle, and instruct the clergy to refuse to help build Episcopal Churches where other denominations are first on the ground in sufficient force for the population. Such steps will do more than the most eloquent speeches or the most gushing resolutions." Preparing to Run for Office. Texas Siftings. “Do you think that Colonel Yerger is going to run again for the Legislature?" asked an Austin gentleman of a friend. “I know that he U.” "Did he tell you so?" "No.” "Then how do you know he is going to run again?” “You see, I live near him, and his wife is beginning to pay back the tea and coffee they borrowed a year ago. just after he was defeated. He is beginning already to win over the dissatisfied element of his party.”

THE LATEBT FOREIGN NEWS. A More Hopeful. Peaceful Feeling: Causes an Improvement in Russian Securities. Berlin. Oct. 18.—A more hopeful peace feeling prevails in official circles. There was animated baying on the Bourse to day, and a reaction in favor of Russian securities. The North German Gazette has a bitter article assailing Prince Alexander as the cause of the present Earopean crisis. The paper says that Alexander, during his reign, ignored treaties, forgot the Russian origin of his position, and was faithless to his relatives and to the Ozar's family, and that his return to Bulgaria is impossible. In consequence of statements m*.de by the Macedonians recently arrested for revolting at Eskizagra, alleging that a conspiracy existed among the Russian partisans to overthrow the Bulgarian government, the streets are constantly patrolled by soidiors, the military have been kept on the alert, and police vigilance has been redoubled. It is semi officially denied that occupation of Bulgaria by Russia is imminent. The present policy of Russia, it is declared, is to await events. Good Advice to Socialists. London, Oct 18.—The officers of the Social Democratic Federation having expressed their intention to form a procession of members of that organization on the occasion of the inauguration of the Lord Mayor, and cause it to march in the rear of the inaugural cavalcade, Gen. Sir Charles Warren, commissioner of police, has written to them advising them to abandon the project, which, he says, would be likely to lead to disorder of tho gravest character. The Liberal press are unanimous in appealing to the Social Democrats to forego their intention to parade, and it is thought the leaders of the organzation will seo the wisdom of heeding their advice. Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. London, Oct. 18.—A meeting of notable persons was held to-day at Lambeth Palace, the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, for tfco purpose of organizing the movement to erect a memorial church in honor of the attainment of the fiftieth year of Queen Victoria's reign, which will be completed on June 20. 1887. The meeting was addressed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York, and by the Bishops of London and Carlisle. An executive committee was appointed to manage the business appertaining to the movement and to select a site. Mr. Gladstone declined to permit the use of his name as a member of this committee. Fair Warning to Emigrants. Berlin, Oct. IS. —The Minister of the Interior of Saxony has issued orders relative to procedure against emigrants returning from America liable to military service in Saxony, and claiming to have be&i naturalized in the United States. If there is no special reason to suspect that such persons emigrated for the purpose of evading service, they will be permitted to take up residence in Saxony for a limited period. Any such person who gives trouble or boasts of his exceptional position, or who, there is reason to believe, emigrated to evade the law, will be expelled from Germany immediately. Causes of the Belfast Riots. Belfast, Oct. 18.—Rev. Hugh Hanna, D. D. of St. Enoch's (Presbyterian) Church, this city, testified in relation to the recent riots before the investigation commission to-day. He said that the attempt to introduce autonomy into Ireland and the appointment of Mr. John Morley to the chief secretaryship for Ireland, had roused Protestant resentment.

QUEER STORY FROM MONTREAL. Formation of the United States Involuntary Exile Capitalists’ Club. Montreal Special to New York Sun. An interesting meeting of resilient American capitalists is said to have been held here last evening. The outcome is reported to have been the partial organization of the ‘‘United States Involuntary Exile Capitalists’ Club." It is difficult to ascertain what was done at the meeting. The Knights of Labor could not be more chary in giving information to the press. Indefinite reports, however, indicate that the capitalists had an inharmonious time. If these reports are correct, John Keenan called the meeting to order and nominated John C. Eno for president Mr. Nathan M. Neeld, late of Chicago, opposed the nomination on the ground of Mr. Eno’s lack of moral character. Mr. Neeld said that they bad among them a gentleman who occupies a prominent position in religious circles, and whose Christian example and pious resignation ought to endear him to the exiled capitalists from the West, if not to those interested in New York street-railroads. Influenced solely by a sense of the duty that h© owed to society, Mr. Neeld proposed the name of Mr. George Bartholomew, late of Hartford, for president. This brought the Hon. Wm. Moloney to his feet. He said that Mr. Eno could produce a certificate of character, signed by an eminent divine, and he insisted that the heart of the religious element of the country beat as strongly for Eno as for Bartholomew. Mr. Stewart, late of Brooklyn, and four other Sundry-school officials spoke in favor of Mr. Bartholomew. Mr. Bartholomew was then elected by a vote of eight to seven, much to the chagrin of the New York capitalists, who called it the triumph of hypocrisy over honesty. After congratulating those present upon the compliment paid to the better element of society by his election, Mr. Bartholomew referred feelingly to the moral attributes of the New York delegation. He compared them unfavorably with those of the New York exiles of the Tweed era. "My experience,” said he, ‘‘convinces me that while honesty is undoubtedly the best policy; it is not safe to trust those whose honesty is governed by the dictate of policy alone. * For years,” continued Mr. Bartholomew, “I have stood on the decaying planks of the old Saybrook platform, governed by a mistaken but honest sense of policy. Now that I have advanced to a platform more in consonance with the spirit of this religious age, I trust that my sense of moral rectitude will ever bn controlled by an unmistaken and politic sense of honesty. ” Mr. Bartholomew again thanked his hearers for the honor paid him. On motion of the Hon. Charles Dempsey the association adopted the name of the "United States Involuntary Exile Capitalists’ Club.” The Chair then appointed the following committees: On Morals—Sayles, Stewart and Bartholomew. Ou Finance—Moloney. Eno and Keenan. On Extradition—Neeld, Moloney and Mandelbamn. On Sunday Excursions—Jones late of New Jersey, De Lacy and Dempsey At this point Mr. Keenan said that no club could get along without a treasurer. He proposed the name of Mr. Eno, whose financial ability had been demonstrated in a New York bank, ar.d whose character as to integrity was well known. Mr. Stewart, late of Brooklyn, favored the claims of Mr. Neeld. late of Chicago. He said that, while Mr. Neeld’s financial operations were not as stupendous and successful as those of Mr. Eno, they were markedjby far more brilliancy and honesty of purpose. A greater brain for business was required in Chicago than New York. To this Mr. Moloney promptly objected. A ballot was takeD. The result was a tie. There was much excitement. The New York delegation held a conference, and a fight war imminent. Five minutes afterward the Jersey delegate proposed the name of Mr. Moloney as a compromise candidate for treasurer. Mother Mandelbaum strenuously opposed it. This precipitated the threatened row, and the convention broke up in a free fight all around, in which Mr. Bartholomew’s gold repeater disappeared. Whether it went to the Chicago or tbeNew Yofk delegation is still an undetermined question. Mr. Bartholomew will probably avail himself of the services of a detective, as the watch was a gift from the deacons of his church, and as such was highly prized.
