ST Lei ! , Mo. . Nov. 10-Tno general
assembly of Iho Knlphts of Labor resumed
Us session this morning. A llttlo routine ,
business wns transacted und then thoaildrojs
of the innstor woritnmn was delivered.
Ucncral Masior Woruman Powderly , In
his annual address , said-
"Thu rcprcsonlailvos who ate assembled
r.t this , the slxtcontn regular session of the
Kcncr.il assembly of the Kntghis of Labor ,
have ns great and ns weighty arosponslhlllty
resting upon them ni was borne by their pre
decessor * . It Is true that public attention
lias not been directed toward this mealing
ns it wns toward others In Iho past , but that
wo have us momentous issues to tacu nnd ns
( linieull problems to solvu as liny of them Is
r.ntcnl to all who have given the present con-
dltloi. of Industry and society the attention
It doservi's. "
After devoting somotitno to the constitu
tion , the bpi'itkcr suid ;
ItriMHMiiiniilH MUrds < ( 'tnlillc .
"It is the opinion of your general muster
workman that tilt local assemblies should bo
made up of mixed membership. Hach local
usscmbiy .should admit mon and women of
all trades nnd occupations , and when a ques
tion of vitnl Imporianco to any one calling is
to bo discussed , nil others may become
familiar with it , and when private matters
relating to that particular nccnp.ilion nro to
bo discussed , those not directly interested
may roliro. 'J hero Is no question which
bears ou nnv irniSo or calling which does not
bear , cither directly or indirectly , on ull
others , and many of Urn failures of iho past
can ha traced directly to the door that was
I'lo cd In the faces of men who wcro excluded
from purllclpntlnn lu discussions in which
their interests were Involved. "
CoutiLUing. ho said : "As I review the past
history ut Uio labor movement 1 am Inclined
to the bullef thut thnro has bian a great
waste of vital force and moans , A.s wo loolc
nround us we .sco a hundred and onu new ns-
soclallons having In viuw the granting of
bcnelllB for accident or sickness , or Insur-
tinco in casu of uoath. While it is true that
many of ihcio are dwindling concerns , pure
mid simple , it Is untie Iho loss true that limy
drew not alone from the Id.lghts of Labor
but from all labor associations. It Is a fact
that there tire too many labor organizations
struggling for supremacy. The tendency of
the liiuor movement seems to bu to divide up ,
whllo that of the opposing force capital is
to consolidnto nir' thereby to gain strength
to combat the forces of industry when sin
gle , handed they are arrayed before them.
' A prominent mom tor of n labor organization
who for soiiio reason or otncr tins talccu of
fense for something that , has neon done sots
nbout organizing a now .society of labor. The
only result is division of strength , cutting
off of communication , isolation nnd final
death. 'I heso may not bo palalublo truths ,
hut that they nro true no ono can deny who
has eyes lo tec nnil ears to hear.
An IZrror to bu ICiMiimllml.
' 'It IB not by remaining fcllont on these
things' that wu can remove thu evil. Somc-
thing'inust ho done to remedy this error ; lliat
tt Is" nu.'crror ' both of Judgment and policy , I
HID morally certain. There exists no reason
Xvhy every branch of toll should not bo en
rolled under the shield of tills order. There
is no reason why every Interest cannot bo
more carefully guarded In this order than iu
separate mid isolated cases , whoru wo too
often llnd tl\cm \ moro bitterly opposed to
rach other tlisn to the concentrated forces
by which all of us are opposed. The one
crying need of thn hour is an orgnn'ualion iu
which every interest may Uo cart-d for , in
whicli all may meet on common ground , in
which H unity of thought may bo cffcotea ,
in which u thorough knowledge of what im
portant steps cnch division of labor Intends
taking may ho imparted to nil others. No
OHO man or no mait'.s interest should stand
In thu way of this reform.
"T-ho members of the order nre to bo con
gratulated ou iho gratifying result of the
notation lor ballot reform , which was Inaug-
uralud by Iho general assembly u few short ,
year * ngo. When Iho nupsllon was llrst pro-
suntrd to the general assembly no state lu
tno United States held olec'.lou under laws
which would secure the voter in the right to
cast his ballot wltlioutiutimidaiiou , scrutiny ,
or without subjecting himself to the c.spion-
UBO of those who might hnvu It in tucir
power to injure him for" voting contrary to
their wishes. Now thuro aro. some thirty
states In which the secret ballot uw Is In
force. In some of Ihusn states the. laws nro
not up lo Ihu standard established by tins
order ; but Ibosa laws may ho amended none
of them should ba repealed. There uuist bo
no backward stops taken on this great quo.--

"It is the opinion of your general master

Much space was devoted to the question of
immigration , Mr. Powderly sayIntr thereonIn
part : "Somo six years ago your general tuaucr
workman declKrcd thai ho was In favor of
Ihu restriction of Immigration. The views
then expressed were not received with favor
bv the oi\lur , but notwithstanding thut fact
his sentiments have not changed slneo then ,
unless It uo In the direction oi1 n moro rigid
exclusion of immigrants than ho theu fav
ored. Wo may adopt short-hour laws In
every stale ns well as the nation ; wo may
llx wage scales throughout tbo laud ; wo
may enact , protective tariffs until the arti
cles of foreign manufacture are prohibited
but while the tide of immigration Hews on
in unthterrtlptod ktreams thcro will ba no do-
pcndouco on short-hour law. , uo reliance
on wage-scales , und there c.in
bo no protection to American labor
Ihal will keep iho siulus of the American
work'.tigman higher Ihan his brotuor who
lives under Ihn weight of centuries ot mon
archical misrule. Your general mailer work
man bar. no hesitation iu saying that ho
lavors the total exclusion of nil imnilcranls
who nro not self sustaining on landing lu this
I'ouutry. lie would llx a term of years ton
would bu long enough during whicn time no
Immigrant should bo permitted to land , with
a view to remaining , unless ho could prove
that ho had sufficient means to sustain him
self and thosu depending ou him foronoycur.
Unworthy motives may ho attributed to mo
because of tlieso snutiments , but they arc
honestly entertained , and such construction
as may be placed ou them will not change my
mind , for I foresee grcatdauger , nut ulouo to
labor , but to the whole country , if the immi
gration question Is noi carefully und
heroically handled in the near future.
It may sound exceedingly well to assert
thut we have room lor all the world : thul il
would bi unAmorlcan ; thut it would bu un-
Chrlslian to dooar others from the benefits
wo enjoy. There is loss danger of dabariiug
them from these be no Ills than thorn is that
they will Mko thn enjoyment of these bone-
Ills from all of us. I have repeatedly said
that it U not to Ihu Interest of thoimuiigranl
or these who preceded him lo land him hero
without mouoy , without friends , and without
a hnoxvleJgeof thu conditions which ho must
face lu his slrugglu fur bread.
It Is not Uecauso ho cannot earn a liveli
hood In his own land Hint iho foreigner
comes hero it U because the institutions of
greed ore of older growth over there and
have taken deeper root. Tbo rapacity of
employers of labor , Iho greed of iho owners
of steamships nnd Ihu moral cotvardico of
our public men have prevented thu enact
ment of legislation which would have
lotifc' since relieved Iho strain. Wo can bet
tor afford lo aid the teuropoan In battling
down tha institutions which crush him ut
homu than to conliuuo : i system which will
Inevitably reduce our own workmen to XVOMO
conditions than those now experienced
abroad by these who nre looking to this lairl
for relief. What will you do on the immigra
tion question ] "
Strikes itnil l.oi'lt : > iit .
On strikes and lockouts Mr. Powdorly
said : "In the last six months thu people nf
this laud have witnessed such attempts at
malting the power of aggregated wealth
supreme it * wcro never dreamt of before.
W bother 1 bo nt CiiMir t'Alone , at Home
stead , at Uuffalo , or In Tonnossne , the in-
sllnct which puuled the rapacious hand was
the same. The power which directed the
attack ran to the same contcr from all
these places. ContralUod wealth drew
the scattering llro of divided labor ,
and , as u natural result , labor
loit in n.ich battle. If the lessons ara oirc-
fully taken to heart , the saerlllcoi may not
hu lu vilu. The csmpalgn which just closed
witnussi'd n very Interesting , it'nol intelli
gent , discussion of tbu tariff , but there Is
moro ofa ravonuo Illegally drawn from the
pockets ot merchants , manufacturers and
workmen in one month of the year by the
railroads and telegraphs than wo pity in
tariffs for a year. These and all other ques
tions connected with Ihcm must occupy the
atluntlon of the Industrial organizations of
tlio future , ami Iboatriko if Ihu future must
boa strlko fnr the rule of the people. We
can decry politics as wo please , but we must
bo politicians or the slaves of politicians.
Wo may shirk our responsibilities as
citizens , hut wo are piling high
the wrath -which , lollowa neglect of

Nuw VUIIK , Nov. 10. In un uppsr room In
the archoptscop&l palace , at thu rear of the
great cathedral , Hie Calhollc archbishops of
the Unitsd Status begun loduy aconferenc'o
which' may bo pragr.ant of largo rcsulis to
the church and to Iho nation. The church
is divldca into provinces , but only nine ot
the archbishops who servo these provinco.s
nre hero today. Tuo absent ones are
Archbishop Kenrick of St. LQUIS una Arcli-
bishop Salpointo. Advanced ar.o renders it
impossible for these prelates to stand the
fallguo of tno long journeys. Archbishop
Kenrick is representou ut the conference by
his vicar general , Hov. Mr. Urady , while
ArchbUhoD Salpointo Is represented by bis
coadjutor and probable successor , llishop
Chappello.
Cardinal Gibbous is In attendance , as is
also niiolhor pro atu whoso pressncu renders
the present conference and it * results Jf
peculiar interest , Archbishop Sutolli.
The conference was opened in Iho library
room at the cathedral rectory soon after 10
o'clcclt. Cardinal Cilbbons presided. It is
his privilege according to the canon lavIf
Mgr. S.itolli was hero as a prelate ho would
theu preside uc this conroronco , but ho is
hero only as a delegate. No liltlo specula
tion hits arisen as to why Archbishop S.itolli
wus sent hero by the popo. Apropos of tbo
present conclave and thu presumed fact that
the educational questions would ba deeply
considered , if not determinud , it may ba
statoJ witii authority that one of tuo princi
pal objects of Mgr. SatoHi's cjmlng hero is
to uriiiir something dellnito into tbo present
discuESlon of the school questiou.
The Impression prevails that Archbishop
Corrlgan of Now Yort has boon designated
to act us secretary to the present confer
ence. This is not true. Tbo morning ses
sion was protracted until 1 o'clock when a
collation was served. Archbishop Corrigan
being the host. Deliberations were tnon ro-
sullied and continued until 0j : ; ; p. m. , when
the conference was adjourned until tomor
row.
row.Tho conference today wus nxtrc-nely nrl-
vato and hedged about with all pn iblo care
to prevent Interruption of proceedings and
CSCUD3 ot any Information. The statement , is
made , however , that the school question was
en rly launched and that no little tlmo wus
devoted to Its discussion.
Previous to the convention of archbishops
today the papal delegate , Satolli , had con
ferred upon this suhj ct with Archbishops
Ireland , Ktordau , Hyau and Corrigan. As u
result of llujio conferences , In which Mgr.
Satolli spoitb with tlio length which denotes
papal endorsement , the ableguto reached the
conclusion that tno cducctlonul questions
now in discussion would bj brought lo n
spacious and satisfactory issue.
It may bo staled somi-authoritaiively that ,
b'jforo ' proceedings had gone far in today's
session , Mtfr. Satolli presented n paper con
taining fourteen names for the consideration
of the conference. This paper is believed to
huvu been an authoritative and conclusive.
Instrument. The early presentation of this
paper Is thought lo have sealed one of ihu
points to uo considered , anil hcnco Its prompt
presentation at the outset. It is qulto ccr-
tnln , lop , that touching tbo school question
Mgr. Satolli , spoakin ? as papal nolo ate ,
I old the archblshoiu theip would hi no ob
jection to the slatu if certain inconveniences
could bo ronioved.
Amonir other mutters It is thought that
the convention will ba uskod by Archbishop
ICatzor of Milwaukee accurately lodcllno ttio
titrm "sect society. " This request is in
deference to tha German Cat hellos of the
wont and It is sal'i ' to have In vio-.v
thi ) Ivnlhtsof Pythias , the United U'or.tmcn
and other soclollos without spiritual direc
tion , which havt ) profited oy the liberality of
thu churches , while in conscijiionce of tnis
liberality Iho societies which hnvu placed
themselves under the direction of ihu church
have not procured lo a corresponding do-
( 'roe.

WAsniXfiTo.v , U. C. , Nov. 10. Acting Sec-
rolcry Spauldiiig today IssuoJ thu following
circular to custo.r.s oflloeis in regard to the
contry of vessels carrying immigrants :
The department has received authentic as
surances thai the danger of cholera infection
still exists , and thai Iho measures of precau
tion which have been heretofore observed
cunuot ba materially relaxed without imper
iling the public safety , lu order that ttio
provisions or its circular , No. ire , of Sep
tember 1 , 18Ui , shall be uniformly nppl'od ,
oIHcors having supervision over the arrival
of vessels are instructed us follows :
First , tha departmonl adheres to its con
struction of the term "unimcrant , " us used
in circular No. ISO , and holds any parson
who arrives from his humu in a foreign coun
try with the intention of making a perma
nent , settlement here U 1111 immigrant wlUiln
the terms of said circular.
Second , experience bus demonstrated that ,
the principal danger of Infection through
immigration arises from passengers brought
over in tno steerage. The crowding of 1m-
miuranls to the extreme limits of the steer
age accommodations ot many of the ships ,
the considerable quantity ana character of
their baggage und thn consequent difficulty
of maintaining tnoiO conditions of cleanli
ness which are demanded by sanitary laws
are umous the causes which create material
danger of infection from the class of immi
grants referred to. These conditions do not
result from trjnsnortatlor of passengers In
the C4bP ! , and the government docs not interfere -
terforo with the landlnir ol the latto1 after
they imvii im-scd the insrocllon of iho local
liunlth QUthoiltics.
Third , the objections to the unrestricted
admission of tcor > : ge I milligrams do not
apply to vessels on which the steerage is
occupied by the limited number of citizens
and tesldonts ot thu United Status and their
families , who are likely to avail themselves
of tno cho.iper rate afforded uy steerage
tickets.
Fourth , no vessel bringing foreign Immi
grants la the stcorago will ho relieved trom
the restrictions contained in circular No.
150. Vessels bringing no such stceraso passen
gers , but having immigrants on board an
cabin passeuzars , will not bo refused entry
after having passed the local quarantine ,
but will bo subjected to the regulations con
tained in the following instructions ad
dressed to the commissioner of iminiRr.V.lou
on September . last :
It is represented thai you have inlormnd
steamship companies tiiat you will tcquiro
personal examination of all cabin passengers
by n surgeon , boarding olllcor and registry
clerks. This I * not , doomed necessary , anil
It Is probable that you are misunderstood.
A cursory otuuilmuion of cabin passengers
us thuv pass oxpt-'ricncad onicers on leaving
the tatilp will lid Hiifllulcni. You will only
dutaln for u.xaminnUon sui'b foreigners as
you will have ro.non to bitliovo from such
examination , or from tin passenger list , nro
criming lo this cautilry for a permanent
residence. A record oxamluatlon of all
cabin passeiiL'ori is not contemplated by
any Instruction of thu department. The
instruction thus provided for is en
forced because the department has
Information which snows that persons of
prohibited class , notably contract laborers ,
r.avo been found to arrive In the cabin In at
tempted evasion of Iho law. All immigrants
coming ns cabin passengers will uo com
pelled to undergo Uio required examination ,
which Is also desirable in order in secure the
collection of head tax on passengers not
citizens of the Unltua Stales , This exam
ination dooi not necessarily moan auy deten
tion of thn vessel , as It will bo mauo during
thu landing of pasiengers , but nil Immigrants
'will ' ho subjected to sucn further restraint
und disinfection as tbo commissioner ol im-
migrallou mav cnnsldcr requl ite , und any
baggage wnicii snail appear to have boon In-
suftlclcntly disinfected , shall , before du-
IIvery , oo disinfected at the oxpcnso of the
consignooa of vessels.
Tins circular , BO far aa it modules any In
structions previously lsauo.1 will ba applied
to alt vessels sailing from foreign ports on
and after this date.

duo to the secularization of the schools and
