THE DISTILIERS- THE STRIKERS GIVE UP And Km lira* the MuflitW of HfD TM Hour* A tear'**"" S * Chicago, Oct. 19.—The great strike at tha stock yards has been brought to an abrupt close, when the strikers resolved to five up the fight for the eight-hour day and accepted the terms proposed by the packers. It was not the result of spontaneous action on the part of the strikers, but it bad to be forced upon them by Delegates Barry and Butler, who were acting under instructions feom the general executive committee of the Knightu of the strikers and had thoroughly instructed them in this policy, hence when the man attended the meeting it was not difficult to convince them that their Interests would be best observed by returning to work on the basis often hours a day. At first some of the men were inclined to rebel against the proposition, but after hearing the reasons given by Mr. Barry they agreed to give up the fight Barry showed the strikers that the packing houses would soon be flIVsd with new men, who in a short time would become expert at the business. The packers would stand by them, and the consequence would be that the old hands would lose their Miances of making a living. Other speakers supported Mr. Barry by strong arguments, and the strikers voted lyianlmousiy to rtturn to work to-day, making a single condition, hpwever, that Armour's beef packers should work only eight hours as long as Morris tc Hwift maintained that rule for their men. Immediately after the cloae of the meeting Barry visited Armour and told him the result of the meeting. Armeur said it was satisfactory and that his old employes would be taken back upon application. He said, however, that the men brought to his houses from other cities would be retained as long as they proved efficient DImhh the Colored Question and an ApD ' ' - 'a pollate Court. AND (OTHERS INTERESTED IN THE . t * . *. ■ I ■ " A Story That Beads tike the Chicago, Oct. 19.—In the Episcopal convention • report was presented onthe Work of evangelizing the colored people of the south. The report opposed the creation of missionary bishops to the colored people, deeming such action an intrusion upon tho rights of diocosans, and advised the constitution of the joint board of missions at Washington to the colo.-ed people, consisting of lift en members. Tho matter went on tlie calendar. Rev. Dr. l£agau, of New York, presented a resolution, to bo referred to tho joint committee on liturgical revision, requesting that the Joint committee consider the expediency of amending the title page of the prayerbook to read "The rules and ceremonies of . the church in the United State* of America." The committee on charities reported that $35,000 had been ex pendM.-the past year toward the relief of aged clergymen. Tho committee on canons reported that in their opinion the existing canon in regard to the registration of births, marriagesa™! deatlis was sufficient, and that flirt lie.* legislation was inexpedient. There was a long discussion of the Special order of the day, the'feasibility of establishing a court of appeals. The discussion was opened by Mr. C. Patbskson, of Pennsylvania, who that clergymen were bound by the pscsent judicial system to abide by the result of a diocesan trial, no matter how absurd its rulings might be, or how unfairly the evidence had beam weighed. He thought it was the duty so' the church to remove the whole system now prevailing and Ax upon some uniform code of laws.

Hewitt expressing surprise that in his letter accepting the Democratic nomination for mayor Mr. Hewitt made no reference to the evils of our political systems, but assigned as the sole reason for acceptance a desire to defeat the movement which put Mr. George into the field as a candidate. This movement-Mr. Hewitt denounced as a class movement Mr. George points out that he is a poor man, and the candidate of poor men, without the usual aid of a corruption fund, and that all his constituents seek is to put into actual operation the principle of popular suffrage, which has hitherto been merely a high-sounding phrase. Mr. George quotes from his platform to refute the idea that be does not recognize property rights. He then denies that the movement which he represents is one of a class against other classes. All classes of Man who earn their living are engaged in it, whereas the men who tendered Mr. Hewitt his nomination were with one exception professional polittaanz. Mr. George declares, therefore, that 1? Ms Is a class movement, it is a movement of the "masses against the clashes." Mr. George also challenges Mr. Hewitt to joint debate dstrby the canvass. More Kesnlte Than for Any nay Since the Convention Began—Many Matters Referred to tho Executive Board Wltli How Ska Canadian Fishermen and Hun*. era Invaded" • »l*e Stricken Town la Maine aad Carried Off Mapli Booty—A The afternoon session showed a considerable increase in the attendance, nearly 400 delegates being present The committee on permanent organisation reported the name of John M. Atherton, pf Kentucky, for president, and the folloDwing vice-presidents: F. W. Cook, Indiana; N. J. Smith, Virginia; John W. En right, Illinois; W. Chapin, Massachusetts; P. J. Fitzgerald, New York; P. H. Bice, Illinois. This was intended as giving recognition to all branches of the trade, but at the instance of the convention C. J. Lenck, of Ohio, was added as a representative of the native wine interest and J. W. Fringle, of New York, in behalf of the imported wine trade. Chairman Atherton, on being escorted to the platform, made a ringing speech. He said that the movement was imperatively demanded by the necessities of the hour. The liquor interest was being attacked in every quarter of the United States by organisations of the beat intentions • and composed of good poople, but whose determination Vns to ultimately destroy the business and confiscate the property invested under the laws of the country. That business, however, was as legitimate as necessary, and could be made as honorable as any business in this or any other country. It waa true that grave responsibilities rested upon those connected with the traffic, but they were fully competent to meet them The sacred right of suffrage itself was a cesspool of iniquity, yet that grand right could not, as a consequence, be abridged, much less abolished. Why then should not the liquor trade be reformed rather than be abolished!. The mistake which the Prohibitionists had made was in not Joining hands with the liquor trade in eradicating the existing evils. The speaker dwelt upon the loss to the country in various ways which would result from abolition of the traffic, and urged tho temperance element to eliminate the evils »qd then let the business alone. This policy might in time effect not only a purification of that business, but of the people who abuse it Meanwhile the trade would take its stand upon the doctrine of free agency and individual accountability which rested at the very bottom of the republic. But while the liquor trade would work for the promotion of every movement eateilated to benefit the United States and its people, it had become its duty at last to stand shoulder to shoulder in arresting the attack made upon them as individuals and upon their trade. The address was loudly applauded, and at its conclusion the convention gaee ringing cheers. The roll of states was called for the appointment of a committee ou platform and resolutions, and the following were named: Bold.

Bangob, Me., (Jet. 1#.—Along the line separating Maine from New Brunswick resides* class of lawless characters, engaged for the most part in shooting deer and other game on Maine soil. From points across the line, from Honlton, at St Croix, opposite Vaneeboro, around St. Andrew's hay, across frost Robbinstown, at St Stephen, opposite Calais, and mere particularly from the islands in Passaraaqaoddy, they have practiced poaching and smuggling almost without hindrance from government officials. When an unfortunate coaster or vessel from foreign parts has had the misfortune to go ashore near the line gangs of wreckers would appear like buzzards and vultures iu the desert, not to aid the ud* fortunate mariners, but to steal and rob. Skilled in the management at their fishing boats, crafty, cunning and bold, they have pursued tlieir operations almost unchecked. They capped the climax last week whsQ for two days they sacked and pillaged the fire-stricken town of Eastport, until the loaded guns of the United States revenue cutter were turned on their vessels and they were driven into the bay. CampobelN Island is three miles across the bay from Eastport ami is on the English side, the dividing liuo running down the bay between it and the American side. A little steams# runs across at intervals, and it is seen as one approaches the landing that all the buildings near the water disptar liquor signs. For years contraband gooM have been smuggled across to Eastport and Lubec by the lawless people of the island, where the young sardines are canght and where Bastport has paid hundreds of thousands of dolUus in yearn past The same may be said of Indian island. It has long been the custom for English fldlr erinen to come across the l»ay early in the morning, bringing loads of sardines, which they of toil aokl without reporting to the cu*. torn house; and in addition to this brought crockery, watches and other merchandise, which they sold'openly in the streets of Eastport. All summer the English cutter Middiet on has been harassing American bo*, but has never disturbed Canadians. . Richmond, Va., Oct 19.—There was aj»r-fect stampede in the Knights of labor convention yesterday afternoon. The delegates having become weary of mincing, took the bit in their teeth and rushed through more actual business than has been transacted during any three days since the convention opened.

A motion was then made to refer in like manner the report of the committee on revision of the laws, with fun power to act, and tnJS was adopted. Dean Hoffman said nothing could be much worse than the present jflftiaial system. There was not one diocese in the Country which provided for an appellate courts and there was no recourse to the civil courts if the diocesan canons were complied with. The committee on the state of the order took the floor and held it until recces. It began with matters referred to ip the report of the general officers. Tliese were all critically scrutinized by the convention and indorsed.

This matter is one whtoh Nxseives a good deal of advene and favorable comment, so much indeed that no ilea can be gleaned as to its strength. The report of the committee en woman's work was adopted. It contained a resolution, of sympathy for Ireland. A report from the oommittee appointed to look into tiie southwest strike was received.

He was going 4«t to attend a meeting of the syndicate. The South Pennsylvania. I desire now briefly to call your attention to the subject. But first allow me te say that I make no criticism upon the general policy that leads to the removal of government officials not politically in sympathy with your administration and tha substitution of thoao having with you a common purpose. J have simply to ask that when an ex-ealdter is discharged, holding views politically not in harmony with your own, that his Democratic comrade may be appointed to the position, sod that when new positions are to be filled that the soldier, when found competent and worthy, shall have the preference. I do not desire the retention in offioe or the appointment to officeff one who Ay inattention to duty or by his general course te lite has shown himself unworthy of confidence.

THE DISTILIERS- THE STRIKERS GIVE UP And Km lira* the MuflitW of HfD TM Hour* A tear'**"" S * Chicago, Oct. 19.—The great strike at tha stock yards has been brought to an abrupt close, when the strikers resolved to five up the fight for the eight-hour day and accepted the terms proposed by the packers. It was not the result of spontaneous action on the part of the strikers, but it bad to be forced upon them by Delegates Barry and Butler, who were acting under instructions feom the general executive committee of the Knightu of the strikers and had thoroughly instructed them in this policy, hence when the man attended the meeting it was not difficult to convince them that their Interests would be best observed by returning to work on the basis often hours a day. At first some of the men were inclined to rebel against the proposition, but after hearing the reasons given by Mr. Barry they agreed to give up the fight Barry showed the strikers that the packing houses would soon be flIVsd with new men, who in a short time would become expert at the business. The packers would stand by them, and the consequence would be that the old hands would lose their Miances of making a living. Other speakers supported Mr. Barry by strong arguments, and the strikers voted lyianlmousiy to rtturn to work to-day, making a single condition, hpwever, that Armour's beef packers should work only eight hours as long as Morris tc Hwift maintained that rule for their men. Immediately after the cloae of the meeting Barry visited Armour and told him the result of the meeting. Armeur said it was satisfactory and that his old employes would be taken back upon application. He said, however, that the men brought to his houses from other cities would be retained as long as they proved efficient DImhh the Colored Question and an ApD ' ' - 'a pollate Court. AND (OTHERS INTERESTED IN THE . t * . *. ■ I ■ " A Story That Beads tike the Chicago, Oct. 19.—In the Episcopal convention • report was presented onthe Work of evangelizing the colored people of the south. The report opposed the creation of missionary bishops to the colored people, deeming such action an intrusion upon tho rights of diocosans, and advised the constitution of the joint board of missions at Washington to the colo.-ed people, consisting of lift en members. Tho matter went on tlie calendar. Rev. Dr. l£agau, of New York, presented a resolution, to bo referred to tho joint committee on liturgical revision, requesting that the Joint committee consider the expediency of amending the title page of the prayerbook to read "The rules and ceremonies of . the church in the United State* of America." The committee on charities reported that $35,000 had been ex pendM.-the past year toward the relief of aged clergymen. Tho committee on canons reported that in their opinion the existing canon in regard to the registration of births, marriagesa™! deatlis was sufficient, and that flirt lie.* legislation was inexpedient. There was a long discussion of the Special order of the day, the'feasibility of establishing a court of appeals. The discussion was opened by Mr. C. Patbskson, of Pennsylvania, who that clergymen were bound by the pscsent judicial system to abide by the result of a diocesan trial, no matter how absurd its rulings might be, or how unfairly the evidence had beam weighed. He thought it was the duty so' the church to remove the whole system now prevailing and Ax upon some uniform code of laws.

Officer Makes a Speech. of the Prohibitionists—The Presiding HENRY GEORGE'S LETTER. Chicago, Oct 19.—The national convention of distillers and liquor dealers met here yesterday and organized by electing officers, and proceeded to business with J. D.

Aid When to the Yletora Belonged Many Resolutions Unshed Through and Windy Speakers Cried Down. He DetsM the Nature at His Caw- the N polls. palgn. New York, Oct 18.—Henry George has written A. 8. Hewitt expressing surprise that in his letter accepting the Democratic nomination for mayor Mr. Hewitt made no reference to the evils of our political systems, but assigned as the sole reason for acceptance a desire to defeat the movement which put Mr. George into the field as a candidate. This movement-Mr. Hewitt denounced as a class movement Mr. George points out that he is a poor man, and the candidate of poor men, without the usual aid of a corruption fund, and that all his constituents seek is to put into actual operation the principle of popular suffrage, which has hitherto been merely a high-sounding phrase. Mr. George quotes from his platform to refute the idea that be does not recognize property rights. He then denies that the movement which he represents is one of a class against other classes. All classes of Man who earn their living are engaged in it, whereas the men who tendered Mr. Hewitt his nomination were with one exception professional polittaanz. Mr. George declares, therefore, that 1? Ms Is a class movement, it is a movement of the "masses against the clashes." Mr. George also challenges Mr. Hewitt to joint debate dstrby the canvass. More Kesnlte Than for Any nay Since the Convention Began—Many Matters Referred to tho Executive Board Wltli How Ska Canadian Fishermen and Hun*. era Invaded" • »l*e Stricken Town la Maine aad Carried Off Mapli Booty—A The afternoon session showed a considerable increase in the attendance, nearly 400 delegates being present The committee on permanent organisation reported the name of John M. Atherton, pf Kentucky, for president, and the folloDwing vice-presidents: F. W. Cook, Indiana; N. J. Smith, Virginia; John W. En right, Illinois; W. Chapin, Massachusetts; P. J. Fitzgerald, New York; P. H. Bice, Illinois. This was intended as giving recognition to all branches of the trade, but at the instance of the convention C. J. Lenck, of Ohio, was added as a representative of the native wine interest and J. W. Fringle, of New York, in behalf of the imported wine trade. Chairman Atherton, on being escorted to the platform, made a ringing speech. He said that the movement was imperatively demanded by the necessities of the hour. The liquor interest was being attacked in every quarter of the United States by organisations of the beat intentions • and composed of good poople, but whose determination Vns to ultimately destroy the business and confiscate the property invested under the laws of the country. That business, however, was as legitimate as necessary, and could be made as honorable as any business in this or any other country. It waa true that grave responsibilities rested upon those connected with the traffic, but they were fully competent to meet them The sacred right of suffrage itself was a cesspool of iniquity, yet that grand right could not, as a consequence, be abridged, much less abolished. Why then should not the liquor trade be reformed rather than be abolished!. The mistake which the Prohibitionists had made was in not Joining hands with the liquor trade in eradicating the existing evils. The speaker dwelt upon the loss to the country in various ways which would result from abolition of the traffic, and urged tho temperance element to eliminate the evils »qd then let the business alone. This policy might in time effect not only a purification of that business, but of the people who abuse it Meanwhile the trade would take its stand upon the doctrine of free agency and individual accountability which rested at the very bottom of the republic. But while the liquor trade would work for the promotion of every movement eateilated to benefit the United States and its people, it had become its duty at last to stand shoulder to shoulder in arresting the attack made upon them as individuals and upon their trade. The address was loudly applauded, and at its conclusion the convention gaee ringing cheers. The roll of states was called for the appointment of a committee ou platform and resolutions, and the following were named: Bold. Bad tat Drive* Ott by a Plncky Power to Act—Preliminary Work So be Skipper. Done Before the Noxt Convention. Bangob, Me., (Jet. 1#.—Along the line separating Maine from New Brunswick resides* class of lawless characters, engaged for the most part in shooting deer and other game on Maine soil. From points across the line, from Honlton, at St Croix, opposite Vaneeboro, around St. Andrew's hay, across frost Robbinstown, at St Stephen, opposite Calais, and mere particularly from the islands in Passaraaqaoddy, they have practiced poaching and smuggling almost without hindrance from government officials. When an unfortunate coaster or vessel from foreign parts has had the misfortune to go ashore near the line gangs of wreckers would appear like buzzards and vultures iu the desert, not to aid the ud* fortunate mariners, but to steal and rob. Skilled in the management at their fishing boats, crafty, cunning and bold, they have pursued tlieir operations almost unchecked. They capped the climax last week whsQ for two days they sacked and pillaged the fire-stricken town of Eastport, until the loaded guns of the United States revenue cutter were turned on their vessels and they were driven into the bay. CampobelN Island is three miles across the bay from Eastport ami is on the English side, the dividing liuo running down the bay between it and the American side. A little steams# runs across at intervals, and it is seen as one approaches the landing that all the buildings near the water disptar liquor signs. For years contraband gooM have been smuggled across to Eastport and Lubec by the lawless people of the island, where the young sardines are canght and where Bastport has paid hundreds of thousands of dolUus in yearn past The same may be said of Indian island. It has long been the custom for English fldlr erinen to come across the l»ay early in the morning, bringing loads of sardines, which they of toil aokl without reporting to the cu*. torn house; and in addition to this brought crockery, watches and other merchandise, which they sold'openly in the streets of Eastport. All summer the English cutter Middiet on has been harassing American bo*, but has never disturbed Canadians. . Richmond, Va., Oct 19.—There was aj»r-fect stampede in the Knights of labor convention yesterday afternoon. The delegates having become weary of mincing, took the bit in their teeth and rushed through more actual business than has been transacted during any three days since the convention opened. The greatest impatience to adjourn characterized the entire proceedings. When set speeches were begun the speakers were cried down and admonished to desist The question raited In the morning session of referring to the executive board and a special committee 4f four members all of the unAnD- ished report of the revision of the coifc stitution committee was discussed at length, and the proposition adopted. A motion was then made to refer in like manner the report of the committee on revision of the laws, with fun power to act, and tnJS was adopted. Dean Hoffman said nothing could be much worse than the present jflftiaial system. There was not one diocese in the Country which provided for an appellate courts and there was no recourse to the civil courts if the diocesan canons were complied with. The committee on the state of the order took the floor and held it until recces. It began with matters referred to ip the report of the general officers. Tliese were all critically scrutinized by the convention and indorsed. The report affecting the Jiew York cigar makers was adopted, also the report of the legislative committee Which was at work upon congress and was located, in Washington lost winter. This report, among other observations, mentions by name tile representatives in congrest who were found to be opposed to legislation favorable to the liibtmrs.

This matter is one whtoh Nxseives a good deal of advene and favorable comment, so much indeed that no ilea can be gleaned as to its strength. The report of the committee en woman's work was adopted. It contained a resolution, of sympathy for Ireland. A report from the oommittee appointed to look into tiie southwest strike was received. It indorsee the strikers, condemns the railroad management, and points oat as i*prehensible the part taken by Nr. Gould. The report was adopted. A resolution on stamps, labels and protective designs for the purpose of indicating goods manufactured by union men was referred to the executive board.

He was going 4«t to attend a meeting of the syndicate. The South Pennsylvania. I desire now briefly to call your attention to the subject. But first allow me te say that I make no criticism upon the general policy that leads to the removal of government officials not politically in sympathy with your administration and tha substitution of thoao having with you a common purpose. J have simply to ask that when an ex-ealdter is discharged, holding views politically not in harmony with your own, that his Democratic comrade may be appointed to the position, sod that when new positions are to be filled that the soldier, when found competent and worthy, shall have the preference. I do not desire the retention in offioe or the appointment to officeff one who Ay inattention to duty or by his general course te lite has shown himself unworthy of confidence. Let this test be sharply applied. Washington, Oct 1».—Mr. E. O.
