Some of the delegates privately express the opinion that tlie Knights will gradually extinguish (he trades unions, and they think this will be for the good ol the general cause. They say that only two important unions are not members of the order of Knights 1 If Labor. These are the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. These will come in eventually, and those that are in will gradually lose their identity. This is not the view held by Mr. John G. Caville, the general auditor. ''We should not be looked upon as threatening trade unions," he says. *'Our sphere is totally separate from theirs. The Kuights of Labor is an educational order. It opposes strikes and favors arbitration, and leaves all forcible and brutal measures to others, while it seeks to elevate and enlighten labor. The trades unions have a different work in band, and it is for that reason that many entertain sympathy for the 'grievances of the International Cigarmakers' union.

He was arrested and placed in jail and assigned a cell adjoining that of Maxwell He testified that immediately after his incarceration ho introduced himself to Maxwell, and worked himself into his confidence, and about ten days afterward he became engaged in a conversation with Maxwell about the letter's case. During this conversation the defendant told the witness that the only point in his case about which he felt uncertain and uneasy was that concerning the money. He said that if he could only prove that be had plenty ot money when Preller came to St Louis he would not have any anxiety about a sneedy acquittal. Tho witness offered lo fix that all right, but told the defendant he must know all about the case or he could do nothing. Maxwell then made a free and full confession of all the particulars of the case, beginning with his first acquaintance with Preller; how on shipboard he noticed that Preller had in his possessiona large amount of money; how they separated In Boston, Preller going to Philadelphia, and Maxwell coming to St. Louis. The defendant, in his confession, said that on the Friday night after Preller C joined him in this city, he told him (Maxwell) that it would be impossible for blm to pay the defendant's way to Auckland, whither they bad arranged to go together. This, said the defend ant to the witness, angered him greatly, and he determined then to "fix him" for his meanness. On the following night he and Preller were sitting in the former's room when the latter complained of severe pairo in his side. Maxwell said, "Oh, I can fix that all right; I have treated such cases before." He then Injected hypodermically into his friend's arm a sufficient amount of morphine to render him unconciona. After he had been In that condition for some time, he bound a cloth, completely saturated with chloroform, about his victim's head, and this, he confessed to the witness, "ended the business. ' He then secured Preller's money, about $800 in all, besides the most of his valuable personal effects, and planned his escape, the details of which are well known.

Lively Galloping at Louisville. Cl.evil.and, Mav 25.—-The slow gathering of representative Knights of Labor that has been taking place here for two or three days prefaces one of the most important conventions ever held in this country. As far as the Knights themselves are concerned, it is second in importance to nothing in their history since the day Uriah Stevens first broached the ideas on which they were orgabized, nearly two decades ago. Nothifij£ of the highest importance can come directly from it, for no changes can be made in the constitution of the order until the annual election in Richmond next October, yet upon the turn this convention takes depends the development or the decline of the order, which to-day embraces in its membership 1,000,000, it is said, o* workingmen and women.Louisville, May 35 —First race—Six fuflongs.

Much Money Could Be Saved by Abolish- In* Unions. _ There ore four questions to be debated at this conference. The two not mentioned above are the changes needed to regulate boycotting and the necessary provisions for governing the growth of the order. There are chances for heated discussion in the trades upion revolt, the boyootting and the strikes, but all who have beon interviewed prdict a auiet and thoroughly calm discussion. A plan that meets with much favor is to recommend to the annual convention an extension of the governing board to include a representative for each state. This will relieve the present five members, who cannot possibly attend to more than If already provided for them. Under this plan a projected strike or boycott in any state would be referred to the state representative, who would not consult the other members of the board unless he was in doubt what course to pursue. As to the project of ourbing the growth of the order, it is believed all are of one mind. Pool Selling Legalised. Louisville, May 25.—A charter has pass 3d through the last two legislatures, quietly, by which an association consisting of Emile Bourlier and others may purchase lands inor near Louisville, lay out a track or not, as they may elect, and on its grounds sell pools on any and all races that may be run or trotted. The may open an office in New York The incorporators expect to open their pool rooms and sell on all races. The attempt to have Bourlier indicted for selling pools in town during the races was returned as ignored. An attempt will be made to force the grand jury to act EAST BOUND FREIGHT. There never was greater nonsense than the talk about a struggle between Martin Irons and T. V. Powderly. If Martin Irons was not played out, and.any such competition were otherwise possible, thiC would not be the time or place for it; and yet there is an issue between the unreasoning, arrogant spirit which Irons represents in the order •nd the spirit of pKtient and wise endeavor typified by Powderly. "Irons probably finds more favor in the west than in most parts of the country," said Delegate Joseph R. Buchanan, editor of The Denver Enquirer. '"Radical ideas and the men who represent them find more favor in the west than the east, but Irons impressed me as being nothing above mediocrity. His prominence was due to the position he occupied and not to the man m There are others, mainly eastern men, who say that Irons and his methods would get the support of a majority vote over Powderly and his methods, if an election was had on the issue. It remains to be seen to what extent this is true, and the result of this week's conference will throw much light upon the subject, for men of the es t and west are to discuss in the next few days some Important questions bearing on the point There are about 175 delegates already here, and only forty-one more must need come to make up the complement of members of the congress. Theee delegates when seen together make a good impression on'the mind of one who views them for the first time. There are a few long-haired, wild-eyed men among them, but not even these belong to that soft handed, glib sort of men so many of whom live and loaf upon the trades unions in the big oitiea The congregation looks like a body of earnest, industrious men. Not half a dozen seem concerned about the set and fashion of their clothes or the effect of their last call at the barber's. It may not be the fact, but the majority appear to be fresh from the shop and the At least, they have not been long away from their trades. A great many more of them than one would look for are under 36 years of age, but they are not the least sensible looking men. Master Schooner Sisters." Custom House, Port op Portland. An Effbrt to Arrange the F«rcentafM Between the Linen. Personally appeared bet'oro Ine, this 24th day of May, 1886, Jeass Ellis, and made oath to within statement Chicago, May 85.—J. C1 McMullin, R. R. Cable and T. J. Potter, who were appointed arbitrators a short time ajfo to fix percentages for the roads in the Chicago east-bound pool, met at the Grand Pacific hotel to give the managers of the various roads an opportunity to supplement their written arguments with oral arguments. None of the managers desired to say anything iij. addition to written statements previously submitted. The arbitrators desired enlightenment on some points which were not quite clear to them. After the points w«re explained, the arbitrators retired, stating that the* would make their award as soon as possible They have fifteen days within whicji to give their decision. Messrs. Cub le and Potter left here' on a trip over their raspective roads. They expect to be baek again next Friday, when they will meet with Mr. McMulliu and finally agree upon percentages. It is therefore probable that the new percentages will be announced efcrly next week. Joseph Chase, Deputy Collector. Captain Ellis' certificate of clearance from Yarmouth, N. 8., has also been forwarded to Secretary Manning. The cargo of the Sisters has been unloaded. Captain Ellis says the people of his section dread war, and half of them are on the s.de of "the states." He says his people will be deprived of ready money unless allowed to sell bait to the Americans. A GOOD DRUC ABUSED. The Cocaine Habit Becomes Dangerou A letter has been received from Capt W. A Doughty, of the seined schooner Ella M Doughty, now at Englishtown, C. B., in which he says he left the western banks on account of the scarcity of fish, and intended to go to St. Paul's island, but fell in with the ice and anchored at Englishtown as the only escape from deduction. Finding bait plenty and cheap, he he purchased $12 worth. Two successive mornings he tried to get out of the bay, but could not on account of the bergs, and they crowded into the bay so thickly that he dared not go ashore In a dory. Knowing of no custom house or officer there, he feared no trouble until seizsd on the third morning for buying bait and failing to report to the customs officer. The offioer knew nothing about the permits. Prom this lettei-" it is concluded that did not have forty-eight hours after reaching port in which to report, and that sufficient allowance was not made for the danger he was subjected to. Elmira, N. Y., May 25.—Dr. A S. Hazen and daughter, of Sharpsvllle, Pa., were removed from the Delavan house to the city hospital suffering from the effects of cocaine. They attracted the attention of the proprietor of the hotel by their queer actions, and he called In officers to arrest them. They had torn the beds in their rooms to pieces and scattered moveable articles about promiscuously. When retnoved to the city hospital the Bupply of the drug was taken from them. The man became almost frantic, while the woman fell asleep. After trying for some time to rouse her, the doctors only succeeded in doing so by giving her, as her father directed, a largp dose of cocaine injected hyperdermically. She then rallied and ate heartily, and fifteen minutes after Hazen had been grauted his cusJLomary dose, he was apparently himself again. He is a welt educated man and has been practicing medicine at Evansville, Ind. He acquired the habit of hypedermically injecting cocaine through experimenting on himself, and he has taken us much as forty grains a day. He is on his way to Sharpsvllle, his home, where, he he will put himself under treatment and break the habit The daughter is but 19 years old and has used the injections but seven weeks, using the drug to allay pain, but Is already confirmed in the habit. When Carried Too Far. President Fitzpatrick is quoted as saying: "The4»ades unions want to preserve their individuality, while the Knights want to absorb them The moulders want to strike when it suits them, and adjust scales of wages without interference on the part of the Knights, who want to assume those duties for us."* After the noon recess and the further examination of the witness, he produced two letters which he had received from the attorneys for the defense after ho had gotten out of jail and while he was in New York. The contents of the letters, however, were not put in evidence. "One thing I want to see settled here," President Boyer is credited with saying, "is whether men who are expelled from a trade union for ratting can become members of the Knights of Labor. I contend that they should not be allowed." Labor Riot In Italy. Sou, May 85.— News has been reoelved of a serious labor riot in the town of Trani, on the Adriatic. The mob overpowered the garrison and set fire to the law court buildings, the town hall, the custom house and a theatre. All the buildings mentioned were destroyed. It is reported that several persons were burned to death, and that others were murdered by rioters. "All there is to this agitation among the trades union men," said a Knight of Labor, "is that if the Knights of Labor absorb the unions, the officers of the union will lose the fat plaoes they now hold. They get from $100 to $150 « month as it is, and the members of the unions have to pay these salaries and traveling and other expenses. There are thirty-three unions paying (100,000 to $150,- 000 a year to officers. All this would be saved to the members if the union was disbanded and the members left their interests to the Knights. In addition, they would get better care and protection. But the officers are looking out for themselves solely, and hence this agitation." Upon cross-examination, Mr. Fauntlerqy, for the defense, made a desperate attempt to confuse the witness. Failing in this, he brought out his full famtly history, which, however, did not prove derogatory. Then ho tried to offset the testimony of the witness by reference to the detectives' method wMch had been employed; but the witness went through the ordeal in such a straightforward manner that the effort W* break down his testimony fniled completely. After Mr. Faantleroy tired, his associate, Mr. Martin, (Tied his hand on the witness, but in vain; nnCl the session closed with the cowering Maxwell, for once in his life, awftkened to such interest in the trial that he forgot bis afternoon amusement of criticising the various styles of female beauty represented in the audience Flowers for Gen.

Among the flowers are 3,000 oallas, quantities of orange blossoms, tea on'I camphor plants, camellias and a life sua floral equestrian statue of Gen._ Grant The Daily Advertiser reviews the fishery imbroglio in a stirring: editorial, and declares that retaliation is tbe only resort. Collector Anderson says the seizure of the Sisters is a very unfortunate affair. Three times steamers have arrived without manifests. Once, and he thinks twice, the fine was remitted, and Vas collected the third time ns an example. He says Capt Ellis would have got oft easily but for the spirit of retaliation abroad. Collector Anderson vigorously defends Secretary Bayard from the charges against him. He says the secretary IB-taking sufficient time in this matter, wbich is becoming in'him, considering the gravity of the case, and the public may rest assured that his action will not be un-American. London, May 23.—There was a large gathering cf prominent persons at St. George's club to welcome Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Niw Have*, May 25.—The Yale students held their annual wake in honor of the extinct sophomore societies last evening, and turned out in unusual numbers. Five hundred strong, they marched about the campus, giving cheers for each of the buildings, and then proceeded to the house of President Porter, where more hearty cheers were given. Dr. Porter was not at home however, and the procession moved to the residence c f Presdent-elect Dwight, who responded to tbe 'Bah, 'rah 'rahs, awl mode a short speech. "I cannot tell you," he said, "how much I appreciate the honor of this visit I am glad to m?et you in a body, and I hope before long to know you all individually, and then we will have, I trust, many a good old Yale time together." After cheering until they were hoarse the students marched back to campus, where each of the classes sang ''Bingo." The freshmen were expected to attempt the capture of the fence, but the sophomores were vigilant and the '89 men decided not to make the attempt After an hour or two of more singing the crowd dispersed. larlty. Clgarmakers Discharged. Important Topics to be Considered—The Order Growing Too Fast. Foremost wherever he moves is Terenoe V. Powderly, the general master workman, u{xDn whom the rulership of nearly 1,000,000 bouIs is resting heavily. He is as active and masterful aa ever, but angles are taking the place of curves in his face. His body is growing thinner, and he constantly wears the manner of a tired and overworked man. It would be difficult to give an idea of how busy he is, beyond saying that every moment of his time seems to be engaged, and yet his vast correspondence by pan aud by wirq is lost sight of in the whirl of people pressing to get at him. General Secretary Frederick Turner is also up to his eyes in work, but he grows fat on care. He, too, is here, and so are the other members of the executive board, A H. Bailey, a six-foot miner from Shawnee, O., with the grip of a vise; J. B. Bary of Saginaw, with more than his shore of brain and nerve, and John W.

Caville of Brooklyn, general auditor, and possessor of youth, incessant energy and quick wit and humor; L McGaw, the" reticent head of the insurance bureau of the order.
