Adjournment of Pie Eleventh General Assembly—The Powderly Men Not Altogether Happy. An immense amount of business was accomplished in the closing hours of the Eleventh General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, which completed its sixteen days’ session at Minneapolis on Wednesday, the IDth inst. The feeling of bitterness that has pervaded the assembly, says a St. t aul special, will not terminate with the adjournment. The “antis" are not a bit backward about saying that they have been utterly routed in the convent ion on every oonte.ted point, with one exception. That was when the administration men did not dare to pass the resolution reducing the executive board to four members and resting the appointing power in General Master Workman Powderly. This, they claim, was a clear backdown on the part of the Powderly faction. They could have passed the obnoxious resolution, the “antis” say, for they had a clear majority in the assembly, but they did not dare to do it when the time camo, fearing the result such action was sure to bring about. The administration men are not feeling altogether happy over the results of the session. True, they have defeated their opponents nt every turn, with the exception that they were notable to take the scalps of Messrs. Barry and Bailey. With the other results of the convention they express themselves as well satisfied. They think that the legislation passed will be conducive to good to the organization in the future. Said General Master Workman Powderly:" “A good many important changes in the constitution have been made. The poorer features have been abolished, and the amendments adopted will, I think, in the end prove to be just what was needed. I look for a healthy increase during the coining year.”

GEN. BOULANGER He Wanted to Be Dictator—What Caused Katkoff’s Death. The late M. Katkoff, the great Moscow editor, and Gen. Boulanger were in close communication, says a Paris dispatch. The former is even said to have promised to aid Gen. Boulanger to launch himself as Dictator. Katkoff, who employed Gen. Bogdanovitch as an intermediary, advised Boulanger to pay scant attention to the Russian and German Embassies, but to push on in the direction of war. General Schweinitz, the German Ambassador to St. Petersburg, managed to intercept one of Katkoff’s letters, and conveyed it to Emperor William. The Emperor complained to the Czar, who became gieatly incensed when he heard of the affair, and declared that he would never admit Katkoff to his presence again. The disgrace hastened Katkoff’s death. MRS. LACHS PUNISHED. Fined SSO for Throwing a Pancake at Mrs. Cleveland. Anna Lachs, alias Knox, the young woman who threw the pancake at Mrs. Cleveland during the visit to the fair grounds in St. Louis, was arraigned in the police court in that city on Tuesday for disturbing the peace, and was lined SSO. The testimony showed that as the President’s carriage was passing her booth she seized one of the large pancakes that she was baking over afire and threw it at Mrs. Cleveland with such dexterity that it hit the lady on the arm and then lodged in her lap. When arrested she said to the officer that the pancake was an unusually luscious one, and she wanted to give it to Mrs. Cleveland to show her what a St. Louis pancake was like. One witness Heard Mrs. Lachs say, as she threw the pancake: “There, Frankie; you can’t get any as good as that at the Mayor’s house.” Edgerton Differs from Oberly. According to a Washington telegram “Civil-Service Commissioner Edgerton says that his views do not agree with those expressed by Mr. Oberly in his recent letter to the Illinois Democratic Association. Mr. Edgerton declares that the State organizations have as much right to exist as they ever had.”

The World’s Championship. The St. Louis Base-Ball Club was defeated by the Detroits at Philadelphia, Wednesday, by a score of 4 to 2, making seven out of nine games the Wolverines have captured. Minor Telegrams. Conflicts between the police and unemployed workingmen are of daily occurrence in London. Socialists at Berne, Switzerland, adopted resolutions protesting against the execution of the Chicago anarchists. Mitchell, the English pugilist, has challenged John L. Sullivan to fight for £SOO. Five thousand shoemakers abandoned their benches at Philadelphia and the proprietors of twenty-four factories paid off their hands, the employers turning the strike into a lock-out. The San Antonio wool market is in a badly demoralized condition. The amount of wool on hand there now is 3,000,000 pounds, and none of it has been sold. Secretary Bayard is credited with the remark that the policy of the State Department with reference to the fisheries question has not been fully determined upon, and can be only as the case develops. He says the question is a serious one, and he hopes that it may be settled amicably, but in any event the United States must have her rights. EAST. United States District" Attorney Walker has decided that the case of Rev. E. Walpole Warren, who was called from England to the rectorship of the Church of the Holy Trinity, New York, comes under the “contract labor law,” and that he will be forced to commence suit against the vestry and wardens of the church. A New York dispatch says that by the fall of an unfinished building in Harlem five workmen were killed and about a dozen injured, several of them seriously. The accident was the result of haste and bad management. A Roman Catholic priest, who bad been conducting the work to save expense, instead of having it done under the eye of a competent builder, was among the injured. Most of the workmen were ignorant Italians who were hired at random, and it is possible that some of them were left in the ruins. WEST. In regard to the railway horror at Kouts, Ind., the Coroner has rendered a verdict censuring the Chicago and Atlantic Company. and declaring that the train dispatcher of the road and Engineer Dorsey, of the freight train, were negligent and careless in the discharge of their duties. Chicago special: “George Francis Train

did not speak last night, ns he had intended to, because the police prevented tho meeting. Mayor Hoche instructed Chief Ebersold and Inspector Bonfield to suppress the erratic orator, and not to permit him to make any more harangues in this city. ” Albert R. Parsons, says a Chicago special, sent a communication to Governor Oglesby, denying his guilt of complicity in the Haymarket massacre, and protesting against the consummation of this “judicial murder.” Continuing, he observes: “If guilty, then I prefer death rather than to go “like the quarry-slave at niglit scourged to his dungeon.’ If innocent, then I am entitled to ami will accept nothing less than liberty. I know not what course others may pursue, but for myself I reject the petition for my imprisonment. I am innocent, and I say to you that unden no circumstances will I accept a commutation to imprisonment. In the name of the American people I demand my right, my lawful, constitutional, natural, inalienable right to liberty. ” Stephen W. Rawson, a well-known Chicago banker, was shot on Sunday last by his step-son, William Slaymaker, as he was leaving the Third Presbyterian Church, where he had been attending divine services. His assailant, a boy of 17 years old, was taken to jail, and the wounded man was carried to his home on Monroe street in a critical condition. The shooting grew out of the troubles between Mr. Rawson and his wife that have been so thoroughly ventilated in the courts for some time past. The report comes from St. Louis that a number of the lead-smelting firms of the Western States and Territories and leading ore-dealers of Mexico have entered into a combination to keep up prices. There will be a more earnest effort to secure the admission of Territories as States this winter than there has been for some years, says a Washin;,’ton telegram. “Delegate Toole, of Montana, thinks that Montana, Dakota, New Mexico, and Washington Territory w 11 all seek admission, and he predicts that in an omnibus bill they will accomplish their object. He does not add Ctah to the list of Territories which will apply for statehood, but it is evident that Ltali will be one of the most earnest applicants. The new’ movement as to polygamy will have strong support. It may bo doubted, however. whether on the eve ot a Presidential election any of the Territories will be admitted, except it shall be with the express stipulation that they shall not be allowed to vote for President until 1892.”

SOUTH. The President met with the same enthusiastic reception at Nashville and Chattanooga that has been accorded him all along the route. During the reception at Nashville, while many poorly dressed people, evidently farmers' and working men and women, were passing before him, Mr. Cleveland administered a stinging rebuke to a number of well-dressed people, who, having been presented, had stepped back of him and were making unkind remarks touching the personal appearance of those passing along in front. Hearing the remarks and the laughter, the Presidept said: “These good people are here out of respect to me. lam not willing for you to make sport of them. It is not right.” The laughter and comment ceased. At Chattanooga the train was greeted by a mass of humanity that filled the large depot to overflowing. Cannons boomed, bands played, and the vast multitude shouted. The city was thronged with people from East Tennessee, North Georgia, North Alabama, and fully 30,000 visitors were in the city in spite of the drizzling rain. The Presidential party reached Atlanta at midnight Monday. There were at a close estimate 100,000 strangers in the city, and such a jam was never known. The President ami his party were received by Governor Gordon at the Capitol in Atlanta, Ga., on Tuesday, and were then driven to the Exposition grounds at Piedmont Park, where an address of welcome was delivered by H. \V. Grady, to which the President responded. He sketched the rapid growth and prosperity of Atlanta, and in conclusion said: Every man at all concerned in what is here exhibited will return to his home with new plans and purposes, which will result in his increased prosperity ; anti tho aggregate of this will make a ri -h and prosperous neighborhood ; its contagion makes a rich anil prosperous state. We often hoar of a State uott I for its excellent products. This is not always tho result of fertility of the soil, or of its adaptability, but of the enterprise of its people inaugurating such expositions as this, whore they nifty meet and take counsel and learn of each ether. All of Georgia's neighboring States still feel the impulse of tho cotton exposition of 1881, and the commercial convention of ISB>, and I trust that the Pied nont exhibition may prove of as great benefit as these to the material welfare of the large section of country which has contributed to its success. At the conclusion of the Presidential speech repeated calls were made for Gov. Gordon. In response, the Governor arose and proposed “Three cheers for Mrs. Cleveland,” which were given with wild enthusiasm. Wheeling (W. Va.) dispatch: “InKoane County, West Virginia, Jake Coon and Robert Duff were identified as having participated in the murder of tho Rev. Thomas F. Ryan, and were lynched. Vigilantes also captured and killed George Duff, Jr., brother of Robert. William Drake was taken by a mob to Spencer, but it is not known whether ho was lynched. Drake confessed that Dan Cunningham, a detective, planned the robbery and that his gang carried out the scheme.” Later. —A Charleston (W. Va.) dispatch states that Cunningham has been caught and lynched, and that the vigilantes will not let up until half a dozen or so more outlaws have been strung up.

WASHINGTON. A Washington dispatch says that Secretary Lamar is certain to take the place left vacant on the Supreme bench by the death of Justice Wcod, and that he will be appointed immediately after handing in his report as Secretary o the Interior. LABOR. In the disastrous storm on the southern coast of Mexico Oct. 7 and 8, the town of Quelito, a place of 8,000 people, was totally destroyed and many lives were lost. In a discussion concerning the demand of the Knights of Labor that all Government plate printing be done on hand instead of power presses, Mr. Graves, Chief of the Government Bureau of Engraving and Printing, shows conclusively that the machine work is both better and more economical. Some of the proceedings of the “Knights’ ” convention at Minneapolis have been stormy and exciting. Friday last the Assembly was the scene of a fierce discussion in secret session over the Chicago Stock Yards strike. At times it was believed that a hand-to-hand fight would occur between the Powderly and anti-Powderly delegates, the point being whether Powderly be censured or not for ordering the strike off. The speeches were very bitter, and finally Powderly spoke with tremendous force in his own behalf, and carried the day by a majority of 116 to 49. There is great suffering among the striking coal-miners in the vicinity of Freeland, Pa., which, it is feared, may lead to deeds of violence. The men are foreigners of the worst type, many of them followers of the red Hag, and at their meetings they are prodigal of ihreats against the coal kings. GENERAL. Information comes by telegraph from the City of Mexico of tho discovery by the

I Treasury Department of extensive forgeries of powers-of-attorhey in transferring credits against the government. The government will lose nothing. A number of* persons have been arrested in connection with the affair. Ono transfer of credit inI volved $149,000, and a series of signatures ' had been forged. ! The British ship Monarch, Captain Cori belt, has been lost on Mindoro Island, j The Captain and throe of the crow were drowned. i ■ It is stated that tho new road between Eagle Pass and a point on the Mexican i Central, which will bo completed next j month, will shorten the time between Now j York and tho City of Mexico to four days and a half. Latham, Alexander A Co.’s “Cotton ^Movement and Fluctuations” for the last year, which has just been published, estimati s that tho crop of the United States for 1887-’BB will amount to 6,550,000 bales, as against 6,505,000 bales for 1886-’B7. I The eighth game in tho world’s cham- : pionship series between the St. Louis and Detroit base-ball teams was played in Boston on Tuesday, and was won easily by the Detroit men. Caruthers was not nearly as effective as usual, and the Detroiters kept i the ball going all over the field, their bat- : ting throughout the contest being terrific. The St. Louis players fielded brilliantly at times, and at others their playing was rather loose. The score was 9 to 2. Os the eight games so far played, Detroit has won six with ridiculous ease. FntF. destroyed Robert Neil’s boardingj house at Lake Edward, Quebec, and burned ) to a crisp Thomas Landus, of Norton Mills, ■ Vt., 'William Buchan, and George Scotton, lodgers. The Kent House at Chautauqua j Lake was burned, causing a loss of $125,(101); a warehouse in New York City was partially destroyed, the damage amounting to SIOO,OOO, and the packing department of Adams A Co.'s glass-works at Pittsburg was consumed, the loss being $50,000. It is announced that General Butler has consented to take part in the application of the anarchists for a writ of error and supersedeas before tho Supreme Court. He will be paid a retainer of $1,500 and receive, besides, $250 per day. FOREIGN.

Three hundred Russians, under tho guise of rerchants, have entered Herat, and tho Afghan antboritities are greatly worked up over the matter. A cable dispatch from Paris says that “Gen. Ferron has issued an order relieving General Boulanger from his command, and directing that ho be placed under close arrest for thirty days, and assigning General Broyceto the command of Boulanger’s corps during the latter's suspension. Rumors are current that General Boulanger has resigned. During the thirty days’ suspension the ministry will decide whether or not General Boulanger shall be deprived of his command. Tho Radical members of the Chamber of Deputies have decided to make General Boulanger a candidate for that body if he resigns or is removed from his command. Further complications are imminent.” Sir Charles TvrPF.ii has been sole ted as the Canadian representative on the Fisheries Commission. The presentation of the Childs Shakspeare memorial fountain to the town of Stratford-upon-Avon was made on Monday. Henry Irving delivered the dedication speech. The dav was observed as a holiday in tho town, and the presence of a large number of distinguished guests lent additional interest to the occasion. The London police had another conflict with the unemployed workingmen of the city on Monday. There was the usual parade to the Mansion House, which of course, ended unsatisfactorily, followed by the dispersal of the mob. Several policemen were injured, and nine arrests were made. STATUE TO GEN. MEADE. A Philadelphia dispatch of Wednesday says that— In the presence of a largo concourse of people, among whom were numbered many of Philadelphia's most prominent citizens and distinguished public nnn of tho State an 1 nation, the bronze equestrian statue of th neial George Gordon Meade, erected in 1 nirmo ,i t Park, was unveiled With appropriate pomp and ceremony. A grand military pira<ie which proved oneof the most impo-ing aenioii strati. ns of the kind ever given in this city, formed at

STATUS OF GEN. MEARB. Broad and Spring Garden streets and inarched t > the monunieut in the park where the unveiling ceremonies took place. The memorial, which takes the shape of a bronze e juostr an statue, is the work of the sculptor Calder. It is of heroic size, and is mounted on a j cdi s‘al of rough granite, about twenty feet in height. The statue represents General Meade reining in his horse sharply on the slope of a hill, while, hat in hand, he is returning a salute. The design is a spirited one, and the likeness is striking.

WHAT SOME PEOPLE EAT. The Tidbits That Appeal to Children of Nature in Many Parts of tire World. [From the New York Sun .] “I prefer simple dishes well cooked, ” said my friend as we sat down to dinner. “I have given tho subject a great deal of thought, and have traveled so much that I have become almost an anchorite in tho matter of eating. If I have a weakness it is dietetics. “There is this about food: in point of quantity, without regard to quality, the dwellers in tho extreme north clajm pre-eminence. An Esquimaux will eat twenty pounds of meat per diem, lubricating the mass with as muchoil as he can swallow; yet a Tongouse will go twenty pounds better, for he can get away with forty pounds of reindeer meat in tho same space of time. Both of them blush for their feeble powers when they seo three Yakutes demolish a whole reindeer at one sitting, and rise apparently none the worse for the feed. “The greatest luxury a Green’ander can enjoy is half putrid whale’s tail, with a relish for the gum of tho proper kind from the same animal. “Porpoise meat was once a favored dish with the old English nobility, at least so runs the story, which declares the proper sauce to havo been compounded of sugar, v.negar, and bread crumbs. “The Australasian is rather odd in the matter of die otic-. One New Hollander I saw dispose of more than a hundred vaulting rats at one repast, swallowing them, for the most part, with some of the hair still upon them, holding them by their tails and biting the bodies off with his teeth. Not to be wasteful, he afterward disposed of the tails. The same innocent children of nature affect stale shark, rancid whale blubber, earthworms, and such trifles. Kangaroo tail is a dish an Australasian finds much flavor in. It is delicious. “Coming to South America, the Ottomacs are the oddest people They subsist entirely on a fat and furrnginous kind of clay, each man eating daily a pound or more. The Indians of the Amazon eat a kind of loam, preferring it to other and decidedly better food. 1 have seen them do it. Ihe Peruvians are also clay eaters, their mess being a mixture of taic an I mica rather tough food, even for Peru. Other nations are earth eaters—the inhabitants of New Guinea, some of the Bolivians, tho negroes of Jamaica, and the natives of New Caledonia, as well as many people who dwell in Siam. Siberia, and Kamschatka. The Ottomacs, however, are the only ones wh * subsist on clay when other food is obtainable. “In Africa I found diet as various as the people, ami such trifles as blue mole, mice, fat sheep's tails, stewed puppies, puma, baked elephant's trunk and feet, ostrich eggs, ants stewed in butter, caterpillars, roasted spiders, snails (eight inches long), and old articles not generally regarded as food are consumed. “W hen the natives of the West Indies are regarded from a diete: i< standpoint, baked snakes glide in: • the menu along with palmworms (a finger long), fried in their own fat; yet these colored gourmands cannot abide a rabbit stew! Rats are there also considered a nice side dish, with occasional relishes of gecana eggs and palm-tree snout betties, bounds nastv, doesn’t it?

“In those Asiatic countries where I have been the palate can be disgusted or tickled with no end us curious dishes. We know bow ingenious the Chinese are in their cuisine, finding delight in half-hatched eggs, sharks’ tins and maws, fowls’ and ducks' tongues, dogs’ hind quarters, rat soup, soup made from the nests of the Hirundo esculento, and, as an appetizer, the chrysalis of the silk-worm alter the silk has been wound from t. “In Siam the dried sinews of various animals form a dish much liked. I found it very good. Alligators’ eggs are eaten in many Eastern countries, and a nastier dish it would be hard to imagine. Ants enter largely into Oriental bills of fare, and in Ceylon the busy bee is masticated by the very men who have profited by the honey it has made. “In the Antilles a lizard very often is the piece de resistar.ee at a native feast, yet they will not touch the toothsome young alligator. The manatee’s tail is a staple diet in Honduras. This is not bad eating. “At the Falkland Islands a gourmet can enjoy a new sensation by eating a sea lion’s tongue. It is excellent, but it must be fresh. Trinidad prides itself on alligator and turtle eggs. The best place, however, for everything relating to turtle (next to Fulton Market) is the Isle of Ascension. There they are bred, fed, and from there exported. “The Japanese are fond of flying fox. The desert of the Chinese middle classes consists of melon pips, the scarlet and yellow varieties being grown solely for their seed. “Out in Central America, the stately curasson and the sober quam, both large birds, are diligently hunted as table delicacies, yet the first-named biped must not be eaten by the hunter’s dog, for it will assuredly poison it. “To these may be added the gibnet, or tepesquinta, the peccary, and the Indian rabbit; all acceptable additions to that larder, which is further enriched by baboons and monkeys. The last-named, however, when roasted, look like small babies, yet they taste deliciously. “Hippophagy has not made many converts, although it has a large number of advocates. They, perhaps, do not practice what th *y preach, and only drive horses onto other people’s tables, without indulging in equine repasts at their own. In Magdeburg some years ago a friend of mine saw a foal of the value of SIOO put on as the central dish nt a marriage feast, the cost being more esteemed than the meat.” A Bed-room for Summer. An inexpensive and prettily furnished summer bed-room has the floor covered with cream white and green matting, which lias a pattern of largo white and green blocks alternating. This matting can be had for 60 cents a yard, is a yard in width and is of tho seamless variety. A dado of the same matting, put on with small brass nails, surrounds the walls, which are tinted a pale green. The iron bedstead is painted xvhite and co ered with a spread of scrym muslin, lined with pale green cambric, painted green. The commonplace white marble mantel has been painted a green color, to mat h the door, rather darker than tho rest of tho room, and is draped with the scrym, lined with green, and caught up in the center with green ribbons, making two graceful festoons. Some simple ornaments’ stand upon the mantel, I over which hangs a pretty water color, i framed in white and gold. In front of

tho flreplace stands a small screen of bamboo latice-work, lined with green. This room is charming from its simplicity, freshness, and good taste. — Art Age. Sponge risking. Tho best living sponge is found, usually, at a depth of eight to ten fathoms of water, but is known to exist at great depths; one variety has been found, in the Gulf of Macri, at the depth of 185 fathoms. An inferior sponge is found on the coasts of Horida and the West Indies; two species of a better quality are brought from the Levant. Tho Turks and the inhabitants of the Bahama Islands do a large trade in sponge, and crews of between four and live thousand fishermen are attached to about six hundred boats, which aro ch etiy engaged in the sponge fishery along the coasts of Syria, Candia, and Barbary. The divers tike down with them a stone of triangular shape, pierced and fastened to a rope at one angle; the rope is attached to the boat above, and the diver, by means of this stone and rope, manages to reach the sponges, which he tears from the rocks and places under his arms; when ready ho signals to the men in tho boat, by pulling on the rope, and they pull him up. This is the most effectual mode of obtaining sponge, although tho ( reeks of tho Morea obtain it by means of a pronged instrument, which, however, tears the sponges and reduces their value. A coarser kind of sponge is found about the I’ahama and West India Islands, of which two hundred and fifteen thousand pounds aro sent annually to Great Britain. There is a species of sponge famiiar to British shores which in almost tree-like in form, with numerous branches. There is also a fresh-water sponge which grows to the height of a foot and is divided into many branches, lut its texture is so delicate that tho slightest handling tears it; it is also of a foul odor resembling that of stagnant ditches. Candidates Wao In ii'ge. Among the men of the present day who are aspirants for 'the Presidency some do not drink because they are afraid that a little indulgence would i carry them off their feet, and others drink with perfect impunity because j they feel strong in well-regulated natures. John Sherman, for in-tance, will take his glass of wh sky if a fr end prefers it. Blaine will not drink even a g ass of champagne, though his father before him devoured a very nice fortune in hospitable living. Mr. Conkling has a weak stomach, partly inherited and partly the result of excessive ambit on and gallivanting in his youthful days. He. therefore during his public 1 fein Washington, never smoked a cigar except by putt ng it in his mouth unlightod, and his di ink was generally weak tea. It is said that Conkling has of late turned his affection toward the appolinaris water of which company he is the attorney. The First (.’up of lea In Main?. A corres] ondent furnishes the following relating to the introduction of tea into Maine: "The first tea drunk in Mame was made on ( utt’s island, Kitterv, about one hundred and sixtvseven years ago. A daughter of Maj. Cutt was returning from school in Massachusetts with a daughter of Gov. Vaughan. A severe storm detained her at the Governor's house at Portsmouth several days, and at the Governor’s table sho was first oil ‘red tea. The voting ladv followed Madame A anghun s example, and, adding sugar and cream, carried it to her lips. She afterward purchased a pound of tea for a guinea, sent to Boston for cups ami san ers, an I thus introduce.! the first tea and tea-set into Mai: e.” Port'anA Argu*.
