The Knights ofLnhor.
Nov. 15 This mornina's
session of the Knights of L ibor convention
was devoted to hearing further reports and
to routine business.
Only two reports were heard al the mornIng -
Ing session , both being very long On nc-
nccottnl of certain little unnecessary formali
ties having been overlooked , Powdorly s report
port was withheld until late In the afternoon.
Litclimnn's ' report was in manuscript , but
was held back for some re ison. ' 1 he general
master workman's reporl begins ns follows
For nineteen \ears the order of the Knights
of Labor has maintained nn existence in the
face of circumstances most discouraging and
disheartening htiuggling forward in Us In
fancy beneath the veil of secrecy , It met with
opposition from those in whoso behalf It con
tended. Later on It faced the vujrld as tin
nihocnto of Justice for the poornlnd found
nil who were enemies of the oppressed ar-
racd against it It nil of these } oars It has
li.ul to binvo the taunts and Insults of man }
whoso intoicsts it served , Since the
adoption of the declaration of pimi iples ten
> enrs ago , this older has had the opposition
of all who despised their principles , but the
.vcar whoso ending wo witness at thisscssion
has been most trIng nnd discouraging to
those whoso wish was to sco a haimonlous
blending of all classes of woikers beneath
the shield of knighthood Many cause-scorn
liined to reduce the number ol those who
( .woro allegiance to the principles of the
Knights of Labor Their circulation of false
statements concerning the strength of the
orderdiovo away thousands who icgnrdcd
quantity as being suponor to quulit } in the
makeup of the membei ship of a labor organ
butioii. When the iii.nor went foi Hi from
the enemies that numbeiswero diopping out ,
these mcmbeis , who looked to others lor
vvhat lhe\ should do llicmselvcs , droppedoul
nlso. When llio divergence of opinion be
tween the general ofllccrs became heralded
broadcast by those who alwajs magnified ,
I hose members who looked for unity among
tlio olllceis , instoul of doing their ilutj by
wailing until tho\ could replace the olllceis
with others , wilhdiow from the order torn
poraril } . ' 11 e Btorv , so olten circulated and
so wonilerfullv miigiiilledofthoe\tr.ivaganc-o
of tlio gcneial oflkerH , f tightened otlicis ,
and they , too , stood still until this
session would nsscmb le. In the innks were
men whose lovoot self predominated ; v\hoso
selfish devicis could not bo suppressed for
the common weal , and on no occasion would
they consent to sink self for tlio good of all.
'Iho oft told stoi } of thoii giievam.cs silk
ened and diove many from Hie aider With
an executive board whoso membeiswe-ie
not in binmon\ with each other , who tiav-
tled fiom place to place denouncing their
fellow ofllcers nnd coiiilemning the actions
they were not responsible tor , it could not he
wondoied at thatwe have losl m numbeis.
UIAVISO stiikes which wore cntcied upon
ngainsl the laws and pimeiplcs of the
Knights of Labor swept thimsinds of our
members into novelt.v nnd forced them fiom
the Older. Add to all those nuses the campaign -
paign which has Just closed in the United
btntcs , in which membeiH and assemblies
were jutted against each other on a question
whieli never was made a p.ut of the uccl.ir.i-
tion of principles , and on which they could
\cry well affoid to dilfei without difTormg to
sinv point In the laws or rules of the oidcr ,
nnd wo wondci not that there has been : i
falling off , but wo have passed through n
cuicial test with ranks unbioken as wo llnd
them to day.
Ho stated that these trials resulted in good
for the onler , and denied anything like ofll-
cial dishonesty , Inviting n thoiough ovami-
nation of all the books anil accounts Many
ibnngcs arc desltcd in the lonstitution so as
to avoid the fie | iienl changes which are roc-
omiiienilcd nt eath session. Ho ic < online-nils
a total abolition of the sections winch pro
\ulo for the npi ointment and govcinmcnt
of OMimming oigimbers. 'Hie law , ns at
jncsont flamed , is a dead letter. An cxami
nation of sections 23 and 2J will show that in
nddltlon to his other duties the general master -
ter woikinan is required to examine the
Ht.ilcmcnt of expenses as reported by the
general sccietnrv. The treasury dopaitmcnt
should bo hold responsible for nil money
passim ; tinough its channels , and the gon-
er.il lieasurer should be vested with the veto
power , so far as dcln.ving | iamcnt on bills
of which he is In doubt is concerned. At
jiie.sent ho thinks the financial aflairs aie cn-
I1 listed into too many hanils A lesponsiblo
jiity ) should bo intrusted with the manage
me nt of the finances.
Aftei speaking of the high estimate in
whieli the oulei is held b.v main outside of
it , and shov\lng the multiplicity of details ho
must look aftei , ho continues
We have been tiented to many discourses
dm Ing the jiast vcar on the subject of "ono
man jiouui. " The chief tiouble with
our order is because of a lack of
"ono man power. " Our power has been
divided In the p.ist , and it lias walked injury
tons. 'Die v\lll of this order , eistalli7ed
into law and Impilnted 11)1011 ) the pages of our
i otistltution by the icpieseiitatives hero
nssembleil , hhotild be can led out to the
letter. To do this the dtltv is assigned to ono
man to execute laws. Whcio many execute
lavvs themselves they nlwiis fail.Vhere
each man inteiprets the law for himself
theio IH HUIO to bo a bibel ( if sounds and
confusion. Vest In ono man the power to
exccnto la-vs , which many tavor and pass
upon ; allow no interference with that In the
pcifoinmnce of Ins duty , and } on may exp cl
results. Allow every self seeker , every
knave , ove-iy dlstuibcrnnd faull Under to
interpret the laws , nnd wo have anarchy ,
pine and simple. Pandering to Ignorance by
Homo has given ilso to the impression that
the man who railed against "one-man povvct"
was a ft IcnU to the masses. No greater nils-
take was ever mado. The man who tells the
people that they can all net independent of
each othci on every issue that arises , and do
it intelligently , is n demagogue. No matter
liow intelligent n pcoplo may bo , they moot
to dotei mine not what ono man wants , but
what in best for nil men When they mecl
many cherished theories must give way to
practical Ideas , ami when these are enacted
into law nnd entrusted to the hands of
one man for enforcement , every hand should
bo sti etched foi th to aid that ono man to
carry out the will of all men , lather than
have , ns 1 have Inul , so man } hands sti etched
fortli to stay tlio workthatourprcdcccssois
assigned to mo Men have been placed in
olllco with mo whom I would not for a mo
incut associate in a pnvato business enter

the sake of the good that might follow , si
Icnce and fotbcnianco under such ciicum-
tttunccn has been observed bv me , raney

He advocates n concentration of energies on
these questions , and further recommends llio
formallon of Junior assemblies for educiting
thooungcr working people Mailers ot In-
leresl chlefl } to the order como In for n good
share of attention , und ho favors n chinco in
the tlmo of holding the general assembly , be
lieving It comes too close to cleclion. Ho
says
II mlghl happen that In the licit of a pir-
tlcularly exciting cimpilgn Iho members
would differ as to political methods , and 111-
focllng would be engendered. Should our
annual session be held in the midst of such n
contest , or soon after one , it could not bo as
productive of good ns one hold at a time
when over } trace of excitement , anger and
feeling of the eampiign had died away.
Ho advocates equal pay for equal work for
money The piovliiclal committee is icfericd
to ns follows-
bcareely had the gavel fallen on the last
act of the Minneapolis session than the
tiaitor's hands were lalsed lo do-
tttrov whil il bad laken years of
lltno nnd patient work to consttuet. The
majoritv of the last convention were right.
The } legislated as they saw necessity for It.
They refused to pass icsolutions with which
they were not In mpath \ } , and nt the close
of Iho general assembly a meeting was held
In Iho city of Chicago with Iho avowed pur
pose of dlst upling the w hole order. At thai
meollng il was resolved lo organirovvhnt was
called n "prov Islonnl committee , " for the
purposoot"purifingtliootder. ' Division No.
lift ) , which herewith is presented for rction
of the general assembly , deals with the ques
tion of the right of n member of tho"pio
visional committee" to visit or otherwise
meddle with nn assembly of this order. That
decision should bo appiovcd , and a law
p issed at this meeting which would promptly
and foiuvcr expel from the order any mem
ber who would cnirago in such dastardly
work ns was Inaugurated at the meeting of
llio Chicago provlsiotials Reforms spung

f in thered the assembling of the piovlsomils
was born in hate , inn sod in env } , and grow
to its present si/e in the hope that this great
older would ono day bo brought beneath Iho
rule of men who do not possess the courage
01 manhood to properly rule themselves
No hesitancy or mawkish sentiment should
sway us at tills session. Let us , once and
foiever , put it boond the power of any man
to ll hl this older or its piinciplos and 10-
main a inenuier. If they will tear down ,
let them tear from the outside , nnd let
every true , honest mon in the order take
sides and either go with these misguided
cieatures or stand firm and dofem ! the order
fiom their vile attacks. These attacks upon
the Knights of L ibor i-omo from the petsist-
ent opposition which has been shown to the
idea of allow ing other 01 gamzations to conttol
the Knights of Labor Do not misunderstand
me , for 1 do not lofer to trade unions. I once
lofeired to this mattei nt a meeting of this
bodv , and my icmniks woio twistol nnd
tortured to suit the purpose of designing
knaves who attempted to play upon the feel
ings of the tiado unionists. 1 clo not mean
unionists Theli cause nnd ours aio ono in
the main. The organisation which .vour gen-
01 al master workman speaks of is the inter
national workingmcn's association , which
p issed a icsolution thiee } ears ago to secure
the election of its tiustcd agenls ns general
olllcois of the oidcr of the Knights of Labor.
The ptoofs arc in mpossession. \ . The plans
of these men met with but little success , and
fiom that time to the present thomembeis of
th itoigani/ationliavesoeietly and untiringly
woiked for the linn of Ihis aider. Wo had
the misfortune to elect a man who was
either a member or svmpathi/er of the gen-
cial executive board , und he has at all
times shown a preference for the piinciplos
of tliat orgmii/ilion An honest man would
no with the society vvliich claimed his allei-
i.ince , but Hie men who will deny thoii con
nection with other societies will not scruple
to destroy Hie Knights of Laboi if oppor
tunity picscnts itself. Tim oppoitumty
never picscntcd itself , and they sought to
make it and failed. You may uccuso
} ourmastci woikman of entertaining a bitter
tor feeling for tins element. If so , you are
vviong. There is no bittciness , but there is
a deteiininulion on his p.nt todiivo liom the
eider every element of discord if it lies ia
his power to do so.

wealth pioduced by labor , and denounces
gambling in money , in land , in railw.is and
In vciy food , which is withheld fiom Iho
mouths of millions nt the sound of the stock
broker's ticker.
In his report , cx-Sccrctary Litehman gives
a detailed statement of his connection with
the order fiom Ins admission to the picscnt
lime. Quoting fiom the oftlcial iccoids of
the past sessions of the general assembly to
piove the falsity of the charges of dishonesty
which had been cneulatcd against bun , ho
showed fiom the records that overtiling
had been satisfactorily explained to the gen
eral assembl } . and his coin so was approved
bv a resolution at the Deli oil meeting in
Ibbl. His connection with the general in
surance seeictirship was in nowise the
cause of the falluie of the sstem , for it
failed becausoit was inherently lottcn He
ne\t look up his election ns genet a I see-ic-
tary two joins ago , explaining that bv good
soi vice and business methods ho hopeit for
e\ei to silence his slanderers. Ho gave details -
tails to show in \\li.it points he
saved mono } to the order. In various
( ontioverslcs he believed he was the taigetof
un leserveu censuie. He had printing done
by his son , who was a Knight of Laboi in
good standing , and ho did piopcily in EO
doing , but it was less than one seventh of
the whole amount thai was donethcic Ho
indignanth denied the chat go th it he f.ilsl-
lled accounts , explaining that he had nothing
to do with piMiig bills , that woik devolv
ing on the treasurer lie fnithcr denied the
claim that ho had cmplovcd nonunion help
nt the general oflices Ho iccomincmlcd
that the goneial secictary bo given abso

duelion of Iho general executive board to

was appended ns n purl of the iccord. Ho
closed w 1th an expicssion of thanks to the
gencial ofllccrs for courtesies , and u hope
for the continued success of the order.
The nftoinoon session was cut shot t , owing
to the icgular mreting of the woman's loliof
corps. As tlicro had been talk of a call on
General Harrison , and it was not yet settled
whether to call on him as nn oiganizntion ,
tlio following was adopted ;

canvass sheets , nrul nll that the board of
canvassers do is to verify. his figures. Nearly
everi vote in the state , with the ovccption of
those in the ten assembly districts in this
city , has been canvassed. No error that
would give the Cleveland electors a plurality
has been discovcied. It is cxtiemely im
probable th it an error of any macnitudo will
bo found in the returns yet to bo can
vassed in this city , for the inspectors
of election Hied them with the bin cau of
elections , county clei It and board of alder

that the iclurns tiled In cash place named ai o
exactly similar to those filed m the other

Cable Special to Tun Ur.n.l The general
order issued by th Husslan war dcpartmcnl
cstci daj is one of more than ordinary Interest
to Austria and Germany. It is regarded ns
affording oftlcinl confirmation of recent ac
counts of the movements of troops from the
north to the south nnd from the cast to the
west of liusslu , and forslndow * further
movements of the same kind toward the fron
tiers of Austria and Germany. If carried out

Husslan forces on the frontiers of the two
nllied umpires to an extent wnich cnnnol fail

Vienna nnd I3erlln On comparing the new-
order of things with the old. It Is found that
the Twenty-ninth division , hitherto In Kiga ,
in the north , Is to bo tiansforred to Keene ,
further south , close to the PrussHti fiantler ,
that the Twcnty-tlftli division , also In
Klga , Is to bo removed to Minsk , not far
from the Austiian fionticr , thai tlio whole
second Caucasian army corps , consisting of
divisions nineteen , twenty and twcnti-one ,
with three brigades of artillery nnd ono di
vision of Caucasian cavalry , arc to bo tians-
fcrcd from Caucasus to Kussln proper , the
ninth division going to Kicff and two others
to Ulga , to replace those icmovcd further
south. Tne thirteenth cavalii division , with
ono icglincnt of Cossacks of the Don nnd
two brigades of mounted nrlillery , were
removed last November from Moscow to
Chclui. So that Husslnn forces in the three
frontier governments Villa , Warsaw nnd
Kioff already consist of eight army corps
with twenty divisions of infantiy and nlno
divisions of cavalry. Intimated altogether
it covers 300,000mcn on n peace footing The
increase of this enormous frontier force bv
three full divisions of infantry , nil fiom
Caucasus , forms therefore such n dislui-
bancc of the military equilibrium of the
frontier , that German } and Austria cannot
escape the necessity of attempting to re es
tablish it by likewise sending new divisions
to provinces contciinmous with Russia On
the bourse it was rumored that two
divisions now in Hohcmia had nlieady
received marching orders for Gabciaand it
will not bo surprising to find the report turn

Smith and Kllraln.
Nrvv YotiK , Nov l"i.- The grand piincoof

recently ai lived in this eft } on his way home ,
after nn extended tour In Australia , and Is
stopping at the Hievoort house Yesterday
he related lo a icpcrtcr his \iows of the re
cent Smith-Kilrain contest.
"It w.is the gamcst battle 1 ever wil
ncsscd , " he said , "and I nm of the opinion
thai Kilraln was llio better m in thioughout.
I had my money on him , although I would
gladly have lost it to see our own man win.
When the fight was about to commence I
noticed that the symp Uh } of the sneetatois
was nil on Smith's side , as the } weie all
irathcicil in his corner , so I left the Hngllsh
side and went over to Kilrain's to lend him
enco'iragement. Aftei the tenth lound 1 re
tinned to m } own side , ns 1 saw Kilrain
could get along without s } mp.ithv
"Smith's bulldog cour.igo was the omv
thing that saved him fiom defeat. He
seemed to be outmatilicd. In the lift-ninth
round Killain dealt him a blow that would
have felled an ox , and wo all thought it had
settled the light , but it did not. Smith
gradually iccovcicd ; indeed , seemed to
gather icnowed stiength. In many of the
rounds there was scaicely a blow struck.
Kilraln simpl } went forw.ud and tlncvv
Smith to the glass , ns if ho did notcaiolo
punish him too scveiel } . "
"What do > ou think of Sullivan"1

difference between the two. 1 believe Mitchell
would have beitcn him it his hand had held
out I would not like to sa } anything Imish
of Sullivan now , when ho is down , but 1
have never believed Him to bo the great
