The Powilarly Meeting
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 4.—Ever since,thp
annoucenient that the general executive
board of the Knights of Labor would meet
this week in St. Louis, public attention
has been kept fixed on (lenora! Master-
Workman Powderly and his board, by a
constant series of attacks, which have been
made upon them and their organization by
disaffected members and ex-members,
l'owderley's opposition to the. appointment
of Furlong to the United States secret ser-
vice and his exposure of alleged crooked-
ness in the attempts to obtain the appoint-
ment, afforded the disaffected element and
Furlong's friends an opportunity to join
forces in an attack which they have been
boasting would compel l'owderly's retire-
ment and destroy the Knights. Tonight
it was announced that Powderly would
publicly meet and disprove all the charges
which his enemies have been hurling at
his head. Today Furlong addressed an
open letter to Powderly through >he press,
in which he challenged his truthfulness
and made a number of serious charges
against him. The exDectation that Pow-
derly would answer all this, drew an im-
mense crowd to tonight's meeting, Central
Turner hall being crowded to its utmost
capacity. Master-Workman O. R Lake,
of district No. Seventeen, occupied the
chair.
Mayor Noonan opened the meeting with
a neat address,
Powderly was received with a perfect
storm of applause. It had been announced
in the press that Powderly's enemies
would have a chance to speak, but they did
not venture to accept. He said that he
would speak in the- interests, not only of
the Knights of l>abor but of organized
labor. He could not spejik of all the
objects of the older, but would touch on a
few. He said he regretted it would not he
possible for him to devote the entire even-
ing to expounding tlie order, but other
subjects must be toucned on.
He was asked why fie did not expound
prohibition.
Simply because the order had not de-
clared for it.
lie was asked why he did not advocate
the single tax law, thoug h not believing
in it.
Again, because the order had no< pro-
nounced in favor of it.
lie then addressed himself in refutation
• ot the charges made against him. He
would refute every charge f.ud his audi
ence should be his jury, whose verdict he
would accept. He then detailed the cir-
cumstances connected with his protest
against the appointment of Furlong. He
first produced a batch of letters, which had
been carried to him by Shaw, most of
which ''ore on the envelope the "recall" of
Marshall F. McDonald. Constituting the
reporters present a committee, he submit-
ted all the documents to them. He then
read Shaw's letter, and then turning to an-
other document lie showed how Shaw had
garbled and falsified the evidence he pre-
tended to submit. Furlong's letter in the
morning papers was next overhauled and
from the records of the courts, sworn to at
the time, he proceeded to demonstrate that
Furlong had conspired with one McCeagan
and others to mtice Martin Irons and
others to attempt to tap the wires, so he
could make a criminal case against the
strikers. The letters carried to Powderly
by Hlake were turned up, one after
another. The names of men appended
came forward aijd pronounced them for-
geries. No less than ten forgeries were
proven.
Powderly then r. , slled the charge that
he had made public the private letters of
Russell Harrison. His letters to Harrison
had been peddled around St. Louis. It was
the duty of all good citizens to prevent the
appointment of scoundrels to office, such
as the one Furlong sought and in lodging
his protest, he hut preformed his duty.
The story told by Hlake and McDonald,
that Powderly was in Kansas City, last,
Sunday was disproved bj telegrams from
the Forest City house, Cleveland, and
Mabley and Carew ot Cincinnati, stating
that Powdeily was in those cities on Sun-
day and Monday.
liy the published official reports he vin-
dicated his posit on on the stockyards
strike in Chicago and the great southwest
strike. Referring to Martin Irons, he
declared that hi had never found him
square and honest. At his invitation and
that of M. Nesham. of Denver, he attended
the convention at Kansas City. He then
and there frankly told the men of the (lun-
ger and probable result of the strike.
None of the men who bore theblunt of the
strike ever blamed him, and until they did
he cared nothing for the attacks ot the
scoundrels now assailing him. His inter
view with Gould and Hopkins was de-
scribed and Gould's treacherous repudi-
ation of his solemn promise was told in
graphic phrases.
After disposinfof each charge. Powderly
asked of the audience: "Have 1 made out
my case? Who tool the He?" eliding ap-
plause from tli ' audience, lie closed with
a ringing appeal to the knights of St. Louis
to close up their ranks and perfect their
organization. The meeting was a decidedly
.Powderly success.
Duu '• lteview.
Nutv York, Oct 4.—R. G. I>un & Co's
meekly review of trade says: A closer
money market, as was anticipated last
week, has cheeked operations to some ex-
tent. The shipment of ? 1,000,000 gold to
Europe by a firm engaged in placing two
Urge loans for foreign governments aud
therefore anxious to prevent further ad
vanee in Bank of England rates, was all
the clearer evidence of the actual demand
abroad, because made at a small loss is
reckoned at the curreut rate of exchange.
A sudden fallin the rate from
was followed by an upward movement
again and it seems not improbable that the
exegencles of the Argentine Republic and
the placing of the Russian loan for some
higher prices lor iron and steel, glass blisi
ness active with works all operating and
the coal trade dull. Throughout the
west excellent crops are the basis of
buying, and confident hopes as to trade for
the rest of the year. The bank exchanges
for September show an increase over last
year of only 2 per cent at New York, 2!<;
per cent at Boston, Philadelphia anil Chi-
cago and 7K per cent at all other cities
taken together.
The iron business is in some danger ol
running into an unhealthy boom, so great
is the anxiety of many to stimulate the
demand. Several large furnaces are about
going into blast and southern No. l is
still sold here at $10 .75, but higher prices
than S18 are paid iwr desired brand.-, which
are scarce and structural, plate and
wrought pipe are sirtng Hut of bar
there is not much buying, and some mills
are tilling orders at $18.60. Rails have
actually sold for SHU in considerable quan-
tity at eastern works, but Philadelphia
quotes 881 and the west correspondingly
high prices. Only 3,800 miles of railroad
have been buut in nine months of this year
and it is still an open question how long
the itemaud for iron and steel products in
the aggregate will equal the constantly
increasing supply.
The wool market shows a better torn
because concessions in price nave induced
larger trurisactlTs, but the high prices
asked still inu consumers to take a
great deal of cheap foreign wool instead ot
American.
The sugar trusts seem most likely to
follow the copper syndicate and cotton
corner, at least as far as prices are con-
cerned. Raw sugar is lower, the demand
for consumption being slack, and mean
while heavy sales of sugar trust's stock
have depressed the price to about 110 cents.
Cotton oil is also heavily sold and declined
sjiarply.
Tin is lower and quiet at $3.1)5.
The coal market improves in price,
while the speculation in wheat has weak
ened and the price is 1 % cents lowei. Corn
is 1 cent and oats V cent lower and porli
steady. The general level of prices is
nevertheless a shade higher than Oc'aher 1
and has advanced l}tf per cent since Sep-
tember, a result due rather to partial fail-
ure of s une crops than to an increase of
monetary supply.
SThe volume or money in circulation is
$15,8000,000, larger than September 1, and
the increase in three months has been J2K,-
000,000 but the aggregate is scarcely larger
now than it was last December.
The business failures in the United
States for the quarter ending with Septem
ber were 2,270, showing s decrease of 85,
or 8.7 per cent from last year, but for nine
months the number has been 7,K7'J, show
ing an increase of 829 or 4 per cent. The
liabilities for the p ist quarter have been
swollen bj a few large failures to 589,227,
045 or 4 per cent more than for the same
quarter last ye..., out ii.r nine months the
aggregate has been *105,055,089,an increase
of 18.12 per cent. The failures in Canada
show a decrease of B per cent in number
and 40 per cent in liabilities for the past
quarter. For the nine months there liavt
been only three les<> than last year in mini
her. but Itf per cent le-s in liabilities.
Fur the past week the failures reported
number 172 for the United States and 84
for Canada, against 192 last week, and 2'1\
for the corresponding week last year—184
in the United States and 87 in Canada.
The Pun Americans.
New York, Oct. 4,—The Pan Ameri-
can delegates reatlied here on the York
town this afternoon. The embarkation at
West Point was made in boats. As the
party approached the Yorktown, a file oi
marines was drawn up on the port sid'
ami the officers stood behind Commander
Chadwick with uncovered heads as tliedis
tinguished visitors crossed the gangway
As the ship gathered headway a salute was
tired. No effort was spared by Commander
Chadwick and his officers to make his pas-
sengers comfortable. Small parties of tin
guests were placed in charge of various
officers and explored every corner of tin
ship. When the delegates could sp ue the
time, for they were closely watching the
beautifully proportioned mechanism of tin
great guns and other war-like devices,
tliey pointed with admiration to the beau-
ties of the valley through which they ran
Further down, the shipping began to in-
crease in number and the delegates fell
into conversation Tpuyten Deyvil was
passed about 8:15. A most elaborate
luncheon had meanwhile been served iti
the captain's cabin and the vigorous exi i
cises of the day brought keen and apprecil
ative appetites for the feast. New York
was reached about 3:80. A salute of sev-
enteen guns was fired in honor of Secret ar}
Silva, ot the Columbia treasury depart-
ment. in rapid but imperfect order, tin
guests and the great pile of baggage which
made a small mountain, was transferred
to the steamer Puritain at 5:50, and ti
delegates started for Boston by way of
Uong island.

Chicago, Oct. 4.—The Journal says: A
Clau-naGael convention of about fifty
delegates from district Sixteen comprising
the states of Illinois and Michigan, will
be held in this city Sunday. Thisconven
tion will be presided over by Edward
Shellman, of Peoria, the district officer.
This is the first convention of any kind in
the history of the order. It has grown out
of the amalgamation of the Cronln and
antl-Cronin camps and is called for tin
published put pose of the good of the order
At that convention a resol ution will be
introduced denouncing the murdi i *i Di
Cronin and calling for the punishment
those implicated in it. tin tins, it is very
probable that a hard fight will be made b>
tlie antl-Cronin faction and it is expect
that the chairinnn -vill rule against Its ad
mission, on the ground that it is foreign t
the business on hand. The Cronin men
will undoubtedly have a majority oftli
delegates aid It is understood that in the
event ol an adverse ruling by Chairman
Spellman, the question will ne pin before
the meeting by some strong voiced delegate

it is not at all unlikely that the total vole
will show over N.OOO majority.
St. Pai l, Minn., Oct. I - A Pioneer
Press special from Huron, S. I>ak., says.
Zack Thundley, chairman of the dein i
cratic state central committee, tonight
places the total democratic vote lu tne state
at ;lll,000 and claims twenty democratic
members of the legislature, lie silts the
vote is larger than expected. Secretary
BlishneP of the state prohibition com-
mittee, says lie lias sufficient returns to
guarantee the statement that prohibition
has a ; ajority of ti,000 in the state or 8,(100
more than expected. Huron has accepted
defeat for temporary capitol and is in the
race for the permanent location.

Chicagq. Ills., Oct. 4.—A serious ae-
ident happened on the national league
base ball grounds this afternoon. In prnc-
iee, just prior to the calling of play, Del-
lianty, of the Philadelphlas batted a tiy di-
rectly over his head, which went very hfch
nto the air. Scliriver, who stood at the
ide of Delhanty prepared to catch it on
its descent. Anson of the Glucagon, was
landing at first base and seeing the ball
go iuto the air, started on a switc ruu for't
also. Delhanty, seeing him coming, i x-
•laimed:" "Hook out Cap, lookout." An-
ion did not heed the caution, but kept on,
ojiidiug with Scliriver, the shock felling
hem both to the ground. Both had to be
assisted to rise and each was oarried to a
hotel. Late reports are that Anson lias
ustaind a very bad fracture of the jaw,

iSew Oklkanh, Oct.4.—A number of the
survivers of the Corona disaster reached
the city t day. .-<cveu of them came by
rail and the others by the City of St.
l.ouis. Those who came by train were
Captain T. C. Sweeney, who was a pas-
senger; Pilot I,. Hawlius, bill clerk Hig-
gins, Jack Green, captain of the deck
watch, Robert Cams, second steward, and
William Fleming, engineer. As they
st' pped from the train tney could easily
be Identified by their cut and bruised
countenance*. They were quickly sur-
rouuded by a crowd of weeping men and
women, all anxious to learu the fate of
some loved one. The scene was indeed
heartrending, and strong men were com
pulled to turn aside when some, in answer
to a question, was Informed that their
friend w as among the lost. Mary Banks
was among those who came down by the
City oi St. Louis. She was on the Corona
with her sister, Mrs. Iluff, and two chil-
Iren, enroute to Columbia as a passenger.
She says:
I was standing with my sister
and my youngest chilli in my
irms when the explosion took place,
l'he Chambermaid came running to us with
life preservers, which we fastened on
William F tunning, the pantryman, then
came running to us and told us to go up on
the hurricane roof until (je could get the
life boat down, which he Jid in a hurry.
We then got into the yawl and hardly had
we been seated when the boat was
wamped. throwing ns all iuto the river.
I, with my 3-year-old child, clung to a
piece of wreckage until tho City of St.
Louis reached us. i told my child, "hold
tight mydaughl r, God will save us.'' Of
my sister, Mrs. Hull, who is u widow from
Opt'lansas, 1 saw no more after the boat,
ipsized.
A little (I-year-old .boy of Mrs. Henry
Books, who was blown into the air by the
xplosion said, 'T was out looking at Cap-
tain Sweeney lising the electric lights and
then went into the cabiu to see mv mother
and had hardly got as far as the ollice
when I was blown away into the air and
I came l own, fell into Hie river on my
back. Wileii 1 came to the surface,!
caught, hold of a sad, and an old man was
near by holding ton piece of wood, howl-
for the yawls to come and save him.
it was then when I became frightened and
began to yell also aud a skiff came and
look u - boili on board of the City of St.
iiUUIS."
The brave little li is quite badly hurt,
which liasavs is due to some one throwing
t plank on him. Captain lllank, who was
sitting in a barber chair, was hurled
through the cabin and instantly killed,
The others in the cabin were struck by
Hying Umbers, among whom were Shrimp
Hannah, who was sitting near tho clerk's
desk, l'he explosion seemed to go down-
ward. Ti e captain's cabin parted and one
half fell into the river and the other half
lioate 1 away. Those that were not killed
outright by Hying timbers were pinned
down and scalded to death. Captain
Sweeney said that the scene was indrscrib
able. When the explosion took piaee he
was oil the fore astlo and thus escaped the
heavy timbers that were Hying around.
He remained on the wreck as long as pos-
sible aud as there was no chance to rescue
anyone he sprang overboard and was
picked up by the city of St. Louis.
Charity Lambert, lirst chamber maid of
the Corona said: "1 was ironing at the
time of the explosion when Fleming, the
second steward came running and told me
to help put life perservers on the ladles,
while lie would go on the roof to get the
boat out. This i did, but soon found my-
self in ttie rivor struggling tor life. 1 was
picked up by the yawl, soon liovv ever."
Charity Lambret, was one of those who
were on the liana when it burned last
Christmas morning. Mr. llenrv Joile, the
pilot of the Corona, says he was In the
pilot house at the time of the explosion
and Iclt as though he was blown up at lirst
and then fell down through the wreck on
HU) lower deck on debris and found his
arm badly hurt. In a short time a skill
came along-side and took him from the
sinking boat. He also says his gteerman
Mr. Pierce, was mthe pilot house with him

be was lying upon the lower dock some
feet away from him, also badly hurt from
the falling and flying timbers, ''after tin
explosion I found myself among tli
wreckage and was picked up by one of tin
boats, ot the rescuing .steamer. My light
arm is, 1 fear, seriously damaged, as is
also my head."

The old Hautu Fo trail, a wagon road
from Missouri to New Mexico was es-
tablished in 18ii5. Kansas was organiz-
ed as a territory in 1854. The law of
IHL'0 was repealed and the new law

south to people the territory, slave or
free, which contest led to a civil war
known as the border troubles, which
cost many lives and that of the renown-
ed John Brown among the number aud
$20,000, U00 in money. She was admit-
ted as a free state in 1861. The war
raged till 18(S5 and nearly every able
bodied man in the state was in the
army. It is only in the past fifteen
years that immigration has been Hew
ing into tine state and during that
tirni' .-she has taken advanced steps to-
ward all the great moralizing, civilizing
aail Christianizing influences and in
consi quenoe has (frown more rapidly
than any state in the union.
