A TALK Villi m. rOWDEBLY

lie Enters a General Denial to Certain Humors Concerning the K. of L. The Present Sleeting of the Ixccntive Board U & Quarterly One, andliaa No Particular Significance The Next Convention. Chicago, July 16,-Tho much-discussed ' Chicago meeting of the executive board of the Knights of Labor began to-day at the Sherman House, with General Master Workman Powderly and the following members present: General Secretary-treasurer John W. Hayes, of Philadelphia; J. J. Holland, of Jacksonville, Fla.; A. W. Wright, of Toronto, and John Dovlin, of Detroit. Mr. Powderly and his fellowleaders arrived in the city this morning, directly from Pittsbur. Deforo noon the board went into executive session, which was continued throughout the day and evening until a lato hour. The first business of the board was the selection of the time and place of the next General Assembly. It was decided that it should be held n.t Atlmt.i- Ga.. on the second Tnesdav of next November. The next matter taken up was the hearing of a complaint by J. R. feoverisrn, of Dubuque, on the question of a local assembly's jurisdiction. Daring the afternoon Mr. Powderly retired from the meeting for a short interval, during which time he received calls from several gentlemen, ataongthera Congressman Lawler. In talking to a reporter as to the purpose of the board in coming West. Mr. Powderly said: This is a quarterly meeting of the executive board called in Chicago for the convenience of Northwestern assemblies, to save them the time and jxpen&e of a journey to Philadelphia. All other statements of the purpose of this meeting in the West arc false and without foundation. I see it has been claimed by feome newspapers that it was to revive the waning influence in this portion of the country, and that the meeting is an exceptional one, none having been had hitherto outside of Philadelphia. It is hardly necessary to deny this, as every one knows we meet wherever convenience suggests, and as a matter of fact met in Chicago two year9 ago." "It is also said that the Knights of Labor liavegono to pieces in the East, and you are looking to the West for the future.,r "I have onlv to sav that the statement is on a par with the other one." Mr. Powderly was asked: "Is it true that you have come West to placate any disgruntled element or tenderthe olive branch to Harry or the United brotherhood!" "We Lave no overtures to mako to Mr. Barry, aud no olive branches for him. There has vet been no complaint made to us of an3'tLing he has done, and I know of no intention to meddle with his affairs. He can organize as he sees tit. No local Chiboard. Of course they ma3. Wherever I : : .1 a i i ia ir:u t bor ailairs." 'I low will these matters come up?" "All appeals for action on complaint must bo mado through the district assemblies, and oar action is then subject to the General Assembly." When the Chicagoans, George E. Detwiler and George Schilling, and their relations to ' the organization, were referred to, Mr. Powderly said it was not worth while to speak of them, as both had been expelled, and had no connection with the K. ot L. "If the matter of the recently-organized United Brotherhood comes up will it renuit in any expulsions!" Mr. Powderly was asked. He said decidedly: "In srh cases there is only one alternative. Tno moment we learn a member belongs to another organization inimical to the K. of L. he is im- . mediately dropped from the rolls. But this trouble is greatly exaggerated. We do not hear nearlv so much of the United Brotherhood in the East. The talk abont it is iu the West." Concerning the present condition of affairs, he said: "In the beginning of 186 we had 87,000 members. Six months later we hail 700.000. A t present we have 00,000. When I am asked to expl.sin.the falling off, I ask, why should so many come in? This present number is really an increase which 1 strongly'opposed. Much of it is made up of those people who think the strike the solution of all evils. I have opposed this membership from the beginning." An attempt to elicit a categorical statement from the master workman on tho eiht-hour question was not wholly successful. "I am decidedly in favor' he eaid, "of a reduction in the hours of labor. As early as I suggested that steps should be taken to shorten honrb, but I am opposed to sudden measures. What I really believe I will neither print in our paper or cay for publication. Our order has the eight-hour question before it for consideration, and I want them to send their delegates to the General Assembly with opinions on the question that are not biased bv my judgment. It is a matter to bo settled by the General Assembly." "Yon are not then in favor of the Arbitrary introduction of eight hours as a day's workP ' "I am not prepared to say positively. But I do know eight hours are too much for a day's work. Franklin thought four hours enough. When the Federation of Labor in 18S5 anuonnced May 1 of that year as tho date on which the eight-hjmrplan was to bo put in operation, I brought the plan before the organization, and they insisted I should say what they should do. 1 wanted them to settle tho matter for themselves, aud now insist that they shall do so. My manifesto telling the would-be strikers that they could expect no help from the order, was not because I was opposed to eight hours. Possibly it prevented the strike, but it was tho matter of the K. of L. members, and they must decide it at Atlanta." The board will continue in session several days. Want the Contract Labor Law Enforced. Bhllaikk. O., July Iff. Tho llint-glass-workers had a lively session to-day, and it is continued to-night, but will not get througji until to-morro w. The shade committee reported, making considerable changes in their list, which were adopted. The iron mold branch was also changed considerably and adopted, but both reports brought out considerable discussion, and tho shade men did not get all indorsed they desired. The reduction of officers' salary is to be voted on to-night and from the general expression will fail. Tho convention, without a dissentintr vote, adopted a long preamble setting forth the sentiment of the tlint-glass-workers in favor of the strict enforcement of the government contract labor law, prohibiting the importation of contract-labor from toreitrn countries, and denouncing in unqualiticd'tcrmsthe laxity of the proper authorities in prosecuting violators of this law, and lie solved. That th'e American fllnt-frlnss-work-ers do hereby authorize the executive board. In conjunction with the national otlicers, to take pucU steps as U deeited advisable br them to briufftbi ouestlon to the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury, aud Insist upon having proper attention given it, to that we may ascertain if any manufacturers have violated the toutractlaber law. And it Is further Resolved. That, if sutnclcnt evidence be found to warrant a prosecution, the officers named shall proceed In such course. This paper was received with enthusiasm, and was heartily indorsed by tho whole convention. Lively Session of Wlndow-Glass-Workert. PiTTnuKO, Pa., Jnly 1C The session of the window-glass-workcrs to-day was a very lively one. This morning, after souio routine business had been transacted, the resolution indorsing president Campbell and the importation of the twenty-six foreign glass-workers, who are now employed at Jeannette, was brought up. for discussion. A regular uproar ensued. Reporters were excluded from the room, but it was learned afterwards that after a heated discussion resolutions were adopted, recognizing the fact that the president and council, in acting in this matter, did not act as individuals, but only carried cut tho inBtructions of the assembly; that tho administration of President Campbell has been' wise, judicious and worthy of commendation; that we tender to President Campbell J"?? ?f tihank,s, fwr th icient manner in which he has tilled the otticeof president of onr assembly.

The engineers on tho matn line of the Pittsburg &. Western railroad have asked for an advance of 85 cents per day over the 3 they now make. A telegram from Yonngstown states upon reliable authority that a refusal on the part of the company to grant tho advance will result in a strike.

Judge Ilorton, in the Criminal Court, this morninc. denied law yer Beggs's application for a writ of habere corpus. Lawyer Beggs presented a rather remarkable petition, and in it made some very broad and serious charges aprainst the gTand jurors aud the State's attorney. The petition says that the grand jurors and State's Attorney Lonjrnecker deliberately aud corruptly conspired to indict him for the purpose of obtaining from him a con fession. It further states that the grand jury heard no evidence which warranted indictment of Begs, but returned tho inuictment acainst him unon receivmzan anonymous letter stating that he appointed a committee of members of camp xso. 20, Clan-na-uael, for tho purpose of trying Dr. Cronin on charges preferred against him. ruts the City in an Awkward Position. Grand Forks, Dak., July 16. The city has been in a state of excitement, yester day ana to-ilay, aurintr tue trial of Aiderman Ilyan for fraud in miscounting ballots for Martin Walsh, superintendent of the water-works, and giving him office. Six aldermen swore they voted against con tinuation, wnue icyan ana iveuneav. as tellers, said that only three were against him. The, case was this morning taken from the jury by tho court and tho defendant discharged on tho ground that the ordinance unuer wnicn tno indictment was drawn had never been published. This puts the city in an awkward shape, ail the business under tne revisea ordinance trans acted during tho past two years being illegal. m s Market Quotations to He Restored. CniCAGo, July 16. The Chicago Board of irauo xo-uay aaopteu a resolution declar ing against the recent decisions of the court, but resolving to restore the market quotations withdrawn on the 81st of Mav. This is ddue, the board alleges, to avoid an unjust discrimination in favor of the par ties whoso pending injunctions prohibit tho witndrawal of quotations from the public.i Tho resolution concludes by stat ing thi8action is taken without prejudice to tho right now claimed and insisted upon by the Board of Trade of the city of Chicago to control its market quotations, and to hereafter modify or repeal this resolution as in the judgment of its board of directors may seem expedient and proper. Rascally Bankers. St. Louis, Mo., July 16. Two brothers named Heller, doinir business as foreign bankers aud steamship agents at No. 1015 Franklin avenue, are missing, and have left nothing behind them but an iron safe in their otlico. It was charged that from $15,000 to $20,000, deposited chiefly by poor Russians and Scandinavians for transmission to relatives abroal, went witn tne iieners, and mar tno money was conveyed to Canada and there divided. Tho Hellers have been eperating here six months. A letter addressed to one of the brothers by the other, recently found, contained congratulations on the fact that suckers were proline and the suggestion of a trip to Canada. Trial of an Air Ship. Brooklyn. N. Y., July 10. Campbell's air ship, or navigable balloon, made a trial trip to-day. It was sent up about noon, and went oft over the bay. Prof. Hogan, who was aboard, seemed to direct tne air ship's movements to Rome extent, at least, and Mr. Campbell, who was watching the experiment, expressed himself as satisfied with the test. ITn to midniirht it was not known at Mr. Campbell's liouse whether tne air snip Had come to earth again or not. Ilurlal of Catholic Bishop. Df.xveh. CoL. July 16.

It is also claimed that Wagner has acauired in this way the use of $2,300, which, he 6ays, lie needed to cover expenses, in tne opinion of tho plaintiffs, however, $.)00 would have been suflicient to this end, and Mr. Wagner's removal is asked for, with a supplemental petition for tho appointment of a receiver. Tho Johnson interest in tho litigation is valued at $5,000. Preferred Two Yoars from a Jury. In tho Criminal Court, yesterday, James Hurley, charged with grand larceny, was acquitted.

Annexation the Proper Thlngl M. P. Moss, of Chicago, at the Bates last night, had something to say to the reporter about the question of suburban annexation. The final action was taken yesterday ,w said he, "and Mayor Crieger formally took possession of the annexed territory. It was an occasion long to be remembered. At each town he was received by delegations And escorted to tho public hall, where, in

most cases, a banquet was spread, ITnn-

ureusoi people witnessed xne ceremonies, which consisted simply in the transfer of the city's rights and property to Chicago. The Mayor completed: his tour to-day and to-night the city of Chicago is the second larcest in the country "I j there any opposition to the annexation among th'e residents in the suburbs!'' "No; the plan has been accepted by mutual agreement, and everybody is satisfied. It was tho best thing to do, and would .be for Iudianapolis or any other place whercvera suburb joins right on to tho city proper." i Condition of the Crops. In the last weather-crop bulletin of tho Indiana Weather Service, in co-operation with the United States Signal Service, it is reported that the wheat harvest has ended in the southern and central portions of the State, and is near completion in the northern. The yield is good in quality and average in quantity, and but little injury has been done by the aphis, which, during the past week, disappeared entirely. Corn is growing rapidly, with suchmoist and warm temperature as prevailed during the last week. Oats cutting will commence very soon. Necessary for the Record. By way of statistics, it is stated by Charles A. Bookwalter, secretary of the State Printing Bureau, that the last General Assembly used 93 quarts of ink, 37 quarts of mucilage, 1,2S6 lead pencils, 2,016 "pens, 225 ink wells, 1,553 pen-holders, 318 erasers, 18,144 paper fasteners, 2,209 sheets of blotting paper, 22,223 rubber bands, 071 pads of writing paper, 50 sheets to the pad; 140 waste baskets, 49 paper-weights and 8.9G0 sheets of wrapping paper. All of this was necessary, it is to be inferred, to frame and hand down to posterity the record that was made. A PRODUCT OF CULTURE. The Boston Boy an Improvement on the Average Infant Terrible Boston Transcript .Johnny (aged six.brotfTer to Amelia) My sister, Mr. tjpoonet, will be up directly. She is now engaged in washing the supper dishes. Mr. Spoonee I thought young ladies left that business for their mothers to attend to. Johnny Some young ladies who think only of their own ease may leave such work for their mothers, but Amelia never does. She never permits her mother to do anything which she can do herself. I don't think I eve saw a 3'oung lady who kept herself so busy about the house. Really, I think sho is never so happy as when at work. Mr. Spoonee Tell me, Johnny, does sho ever say. anything about me! Johnny isho frequently speaks of you as a gentleman whom no woman could help esteeming highly. You kuow sho has many suitors, but never, she says, until she saw you, did she ever experience anything approach in g to love. Mr. Spoonee Of course, she knows that my fortune is ample, and Johnnv Excuse me, sir; but while of course she is not insensible to the advant ages of wealth, she has repeatedly said that when sho weds it will bo because of the love sho bears the mau who asks her hand. Mr. Spoonee Come, Johnny do you think she would havo mot Johnny I cannot say positively, sir. I know she thinks well of you. Indeed I am sure she canuot fail of recognizing your worth. But there is a Mr. Quick who has pressed his suit very industriously for some time, and if I may be allowed to mako a suggestion. I should advise you to propose as quickly as possible, "ion will excuse me now, Mr.. Spoonee. I hear Amelia on the stairs, and it might be embarrassing for you to meet in my presence. Good oveuing, sin THE SHAH'S BOY A .GIRL. The British Matron Shocked by the Oriental Potentate's Conduct. Loudon Special. The Shah's stay in London appears to have made that worthy potentate very tired, and in the proper aud not the 6langy moaning of the word. Since he started out in the country he has been two hours late on an average for every appointment, and has shown an unusual fondness for going to sleep at unexpected moments, when his people dare not wake him. The fact that his Majesty takes about with him a very pleasing young woman in boy's costume, is being commented upon, and has riled the British matron considerably. As a matter of fact, the British matron ought to be rather grateful to his Majesty for having brought only one young person from his harem instead of half a dozen, which would have been very moderato according to his point of view, and for keeping this young woman so much in tho back ground as he does. The Shah's temporary favorite, who is very rarely seen, is a remarkably oodlooking girl of Circassian birth, not in tho least resembling tho ordinary Circassian cirl of commerce, as exhibited in New York dime museums. She has short hair, very fine eyes, and, in fact, the classical combination which goes to make up oriental beauty. Somebody since the Shah's arrival has been amusing himself by calculating his Majesty's expenses on this trip. Although nearly everything is paid for by the various governments, towns, Lord 5layors and private individuals with whom liis Shahship comes in Contact, it seems that his own expense account will easily go beyond $1,500,000 beforo ho gets home, on account of the presents which he gives and the size of his suite, which numbers over sixty, and probably uses up a great deal of pocket money. WHERE IS TIIE HUNGKY nORDE? A Western Man Goes to Washington to Find It, bat Hoes Not Succeed. Washington Letter In New York Tribune. In one of the leading hotels to-day I met an old acqaintance who, is a prominent business man and an active Republican in a large and hustling Western town. After tho usual salutations had been exchanged ho hastened to say: "I am not here after an office for myself or anybody else: mark that. The truth is I thought I would stop here a day to see the 'great horde of angry and hungry officeseekers' that I read so much about in Democratic aud mugwump nowspapers, which represent the President and nis Cabinet as devoting their entire time to distributing spoils and doling out offices." "Well, havo you enjoyed the spectacle?" "Spectacle! I can't find it. Y hero docs tho 'horde' keep itself? The town seems to be deserted. At one of the hotels last night I did find a few unhappy men, evidently office-seekers, and they were making considerable chin-music; but there were not enough of them to bo called a 'horde.' I suppose they are the men, however, who inspire the stories that I read in Washington dispatches about 'Republican discontent' and all that. Out V est, were I live, there is no 'Republican discontent.' and I have come to the conclusion that the 'discontent' is mainly confined to a few small and noisy politicians, whose feeble clamors of disappointment are eagerly heard and tremendously exaggerated by the correspondents of certain newspapers. There are not enough of them to make a respecta ble ward primary. w my opinion." "ALL ItlGlIT COLONEL. A Hotel Clerk Addresses General Sherman In a Familiar Way. Merchant Traveler. Tho other evening General Sherman went into the Gedney Honse, New York, and inquired of Clerk MajUton if he could hire an umbrella, at tho same time explaining that he had been caught out in his evening suit and he feared rheumatism and other complaints. Majilton didn't Know him, Irut he thought he could well afford to take chances on such an eminently respectable-looking gentleman, and. although the polite clerk has a rotund llguro and weighs about 212, ho gladly offered to loan him his overcoat as well as his si Ivor-handled umbrella. "But," said the General, youare lending these things to an entire stranger, and you ought to accept some kind of a deposit to secure you against dishonesty." 'Oh. that's all right. Colonel replied Majilton, as he tossed a key gracefully to Louis Harrison. "I can't be deceived by you. I'd trust that face of yours for anything." The warrior was tickled hy the compliment, nnd he remarked casually as he went out with his tall, gaunt form enveloped iu the garment that fitted him like a meal 6ack, "I'll take you at your word, and you shall have my card when I return these things." The next day the coat and umbrella arrived, accompanied by a note of thanks and a photograph of Gen. William T. Sher

Angus ta (Ga.) Chronicle. Christmas week is suggested as tho proper time for the annual convocations, instead of June and July. It is a time when festivity is in the air, even the "still air" of classical colleges. Then the mistletoe, instead of the hollyhock, will hang over the sweet girl graduate, and sleigh-rides will supersede the barren promenade or the sweltering dance.
