Only the OMicial Returns Can Settle How the State Has Gone. Prrrssuro. Nov. 13.—A Chronicle- Telegraph Wheeling, W. Va., special says: The all-im- portant official count in the mountain state has not yet been completed, and until it is no one will know definitely whether Goff or Fleming is elected governor, or whether the elector: ticket is republican or democratic. The ma- jority cannot be more than 200 or 800 either way. The republican state committee has raised its estimate from 125 and 200 to the above figures as its claim, while the democratic committee has reduced its estimate 100. The democratic claim to-day is of 400 to 500, It will probably be the latter part of the week before the official count is completed. Judge Fleming, the democratic candidate for wernor, has demanded a recount of the Kanawha retarns, which county reported a majority for Goff of 1,500, In the recounts so far no important errors have been diseovered. What trifling gains are made by one party are offset by similar gains for the opposite side. he returns now in justify the belief that thtre will be no material ference in the totals between the republican state and national tickets, as Goff did not run so much ahead of his ticket as was at first supposed. BOTH VESSELS V WENT DOWN. A German and an n English Vessel, with Most of Their Crews, Sunk. Lonxpox, Nov. 13.—Considerable wreckage and a number of bodies have washed ashore between Llooe and Polperro, in Cornwall, dur- ing the last day or two. One of the bodies has been identified as that of Captain Meyer, of the German ship Theodore Ruger, from Hamburg for Sydney. Articles that have come ashore have also been recognized as belonging to both that vessel and to the Cunard steamer Nantez, with which the Theodore Ruger was in collision 36 miles off the Lizard. There is now no doubt of the total loss of both vessels with mostof the crew of the Nantes and a part of the ship’s crew. The survivors who landed at Trouville, include sixteen of the Theodore Ru- er’s and two of the Nantes’ crew. It is be- fevea that all the others went down with their ———>__ THE FREIGHT RATE WAR. Wide Dissatisfaction | Over the Cut in New York. New York, Nov. 13.—Railwaymen were busy to-day over work necessitated by yesterday's cut in rates on west-bound freight. There is wide dissatisfaction because of the cut. Vice- resident Segeman, traffic manager of the ma | president system, spoke rather freely. He said he would make no change in lake rates, the season being practically ended. The re- ducing of all-rail rates he thought very un- wise, especially at the present time. He continue: fe have had all the business we pee? handle conveniently and saw no reason for coming down just at the time when we had reason to suppose we could make some money. Everything seemed to bid fair for a good winter's business, but now it looks as if we would not get a new dollar for an old one. I don’t know how long it will continue. We may get together and fix it up soon, but un- der the new law we-must give ten days’ notice of an advance.” eee THE KNIGHTS IN SESSION. Opening Session of the Twelfth General Assembly in Indianapolis. Ispranarouis, Ixp., Nov. 13.—About the hotel corridors this morning the delegates to the twelfth general assembly of the Knights of Labor were busily engaged discussing mat- ters of interest and importance to the order. General Master Workman Powderly arrived early this morning and was at once taken ‘to breakfast, after which he was closeted with Acting Secretary Hays and other members of the executive board until the time of meeting. BARRY ON HAND WITH HIS CHARGES. Conspicuous in thejobby of the Grand Hotel was Thomas B. Barry, of Michigan, leader of the fight against Powderly. He talked freely, accusing the present members of the board ot extravagance, mismanagement, the employ- ment of not members of the order, and of ofner thi things heretofore published very generally and more fully. He showed a letter sent him at his home in East Saginaw, Mich., giving hotel rates and other information re- garding the general assembly. On the corner of the envelope and in the same writing as the address was the — “Expelled by G. E. B.” — — make te pend scape at this, and said he = der suffer in the courts if fa riecah CANDIDATES FOR POWDERLY’S PLACE, ‘The talk of John J. Jarrett as a possible sue- cessor to Powderly caused the delegates a great deal of amusement, in view of the fact that no one but delegates are eligible to election, and Mr. Jarrett does not happen to be a deiegate— in fact, some doubt whether he is a true mem- ber of the organization. W. r. Lewis, of Pitts- burg, is about the onl: ken of as an opponent of Powderly’s for auackiet place, aad his opposition may not materialize to any great extent. The meetings of the general assembly are to be held in Mansur hall, a small room near the court house, used as a G. _ et room, (It was pro rovided with extempo: pine tables for the use of the delegates, who were seated around them. At one end of the hall were desks and chairs for the general officers. GATHERING OF THE DELEGATES. By 10 o'clock the delegates had begun to as- semble, and on their tables and chairs found a concise little K. of L. catechism for use in educational work and a circular — arding the trouble in D. A. 49 in New York. ‘is circular gave the proposal of one faction for a settle- cian the aetna the by Quinn and his party when it was sent to them. The plan was that all the suspended officers and local as- semblies be reinstated; that all officers in the two organizations resign; that a new election be bell oad « complete ‘new set of officers be elected—those having held office in the two sections being ineligible, and that each section select one-half the delegates to the general assembly. The proposal was handed to Jas. E. Quinn, who was presiding over his section November 4, 1888, and having been read, on motion, it was ‘ordered to be filed as a curiosity,” thus showing plainly that nothing further can be done toward a settlement, as the introduction to the circular reads. | MB. POWDERLY CALLS THE CONVENTION TO ‘ORDER. It was 10:15 when Grand Master Workman Powderly rapped for order, and requested all persons not regularly accredited delegates to retire from the room. The morning session, will consider the report of the committee on credentials, and any trouble that is liable to arise from contests will develop at this time. THREE FEMALE DELEGATES. There are three lady delegates who are in at- tendance, and there are other ladies present connected with the order. —__ Suicide of a New York Merchant.

One ‘of them carried a small satchel like those used by the green-goods swindlers. Policeman ' Reen, who had a suspicion that the men had been fleeced, accosted them. They were indig- nant, but finally agreed to go to police head- quarters with him, where it was soon ascer- tained that they had been swindled and that the satchel contained nothing but brown paper cut to the dimensions of a treasury note, | The men gave their names james J. Wakeman, of Water Lake, Warren county, Va., and Henry Pepper, a neighbor. Inspector Byrnes was notified and he sent an officer to escort the men to New York, where efforts will be made to find the swindlers, Wakeman paid €175 for the con- tents of the bag. —— American Stocks Flat in London.

The secret service detectives are mak- ing an investigation. The robbery was dis- covered several days ago, and it has been kept an intense secret until Tax Star learned of the loss to-day. The mint at New Orleans has been overloaded with new silver coin, and to relieve it the department is shipping millions of dollars to Washington to be stored in the new silver vault in the Treasury court-yard. The money is shipped in sealed wooden boxes, each contain- ing twobagsof a d dollars each, When one of these boxes was opened at the depart- | ment a day or two ago it was found to contain nothing but shot. A second box was opened, and one of the bags in it was found to contain nothing more valuable than lead, INVESTIGATING THE Loss, The matter was at once reported to the Sec- retary and by him referred to the secret serv- ice officers, who are making a careful and active investigation, The boxes are care: | Sealed before they leave the mint, and are | guarded on the train. They are taken from the depot at Washington to the Treasury build- ing in a large ex; pe wagon, coon in on all les with heavy si wire and guarded by representatives of A express company and of the Treasury, who are heavily armed, and sit on the boxes within the cage. Every care that can be thought of is taken to guard Joss, and the detectives are puzzled to how it was possible to substitute the shot for the silver dollars. They are shipping a amount of silver, and if is impossible to tell = once how extensive the route St express com: are res} wilstituerhente SYSTEMATIC STEALING. “The loss was first brought to the attention of Acting Secretary Thompson on Wednesday morning, the day after the election, and he put the detectives at work at once. Further investigation showed that small amounts had been taken from each of a number of boxes. The indications are that there is systematic stealing being done, and it may amount to a large sum, but how large they are unable to estimate, The department will probably hold that the express company is tesponsible, but it will take seme time to learn the extent of the loss, THE ROBBERY WAS DISCOVERED when the seals of the boxes were examined. It was found that instead of the Government seal put on at the mint at New Orleans, the wax bore the ance of a silver quarter. The original seal had been broken, the money ab- stracted, and this method of hiding the fraud had been resorted to. Mr. Bell, chief of the secret service, says that he believes the thieving was certainly done after the boxes left the mint and before they were delivered at this department. He says the EXPRESS COMPANY I8 RESPONSIBLE. If the official clerks doing up the packages had done the stealing they could have used the government seal to fasten the boxes again, Mr. Bell has on his desk some of the shot that were found in one of the boxes. They are new No. 6 and No. 4 mixed, and were probably Boman for the purpose to which they were ap- plie FOR THE INAUGURATION. Messrs. Lemon and Warner Appointed to Have Charge of the Finances. Mr. A. T. Britton bas appointed Mr. George E. Lemon, chairman of the committee on finance, to receive subscriptions for defraying the expenses of the inauguration ceremonies, Mr. Lemon at once prepared a subscription book, and before noon had $5,000. Subscrip- tions will be received at 615 15th street, be- tween 10 and 12 and4and5, The subscribers sign with the understanding that the amounts opposite their respective names will be re- funded after the inauguration in whole or in part, provided the sale of tickets, privileges, &c., enables the finance committee so to do. One-third of each subscription is to be paid at once, one-third December 15, and one-thir January 15. Subscriptions as small as $10 will be received, but those not exceeding $50 are cted to be cash payment. the first organization to announce ite inten- tion of coming to Washington for the inaugtra- tion, is a republican club of New Jersey. Mr. Britton to-day also a ppointed ir. B. H. Warner, president of the Columbia national bank, as treasurer of tae inauguration com- mittee.

Mr. Ross expressed his desire to further the wishes of the ublic in the matter and said he would at once ave an interview with the Postmaster-Gener: on the subject. saw Spee = see DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THEY WANT THE NUMBER OF SALOONS REDUCED. The Commissioners to-day received a long petition, signed by 180 tax-payers and residents of Anacostia, praying that the number of sa- loons on Bridge “street and at the junction of Monroe and Harrison streets be reduced, as they are ut the entrance to the village and greatly hinder desirable persons from locating among them. Also that the new license about to be petitioned for by George Frederic be re- fused. The Commissioners will take the matter under advisement. THE DISSECTING-ROOM MATTER TO BE FURTHER INQUIRED INTO. Tue Sra has heretofore referred to the citi- zens’ complaint against the stench alleged to come from the dissecting-room of the medical college of Georgetown university, on H street.

BISHOP WHIPPLE’S SERMON. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Whip- ple, of Minnesota, whose venerable appearance is increased by the long hair which falls upon his shoulders, He is Sebyper ly in the church as the apostle of the Indians, and during his long episcopate of Peshons, omar ears, with the ele, quence of his tongue and the force of his per- sonal energy, he done a great deal for the cause of the red men. Bishop Whipple has a strong voice, and does not use notes, and his preaching is powerful and effective. In begin. ap ee discourse, the bishop et = of the bible promises as to the glory and suc- cess of the church. These words, he said, are the sure promise of God that the labors and trials of the church will be crowned with suc- cess, This is A MISSIONARY AGE. There isno place in the world where the gospel of Christ cannot be carried. Barriers have been removed, closed doors opened, and the facilities of intercourse increased. He wished to speak of the progress of the king- dom, and recounted the hoble deeds of Living- ston and other workers in the mission field of Africa, He said that the only dealers in the les slave trade to-day were the followers o THE FALSE PROPHET, and that fact may be regarded as indicative of the progress of that faith. As the result of the work in Africa, there are now bishops of the church there and godly ministers doing the work of the church. He spoke of the growth of the missions in Australia and in the islands of the South Pacific. He reviewed the work done in China and Japan, and com- mended the heroism of the mission- aries in the vicinity of the Hudson Bay. The early work of the missionary bishops and min- isters of the church in this country he recog- nized as the foundation for the present pros- perity of the church. To-day, he said, one- tenth of the entire population of the globe were English-speakin, eo le, and he regarded it as a providence of at after Spain had claimed the territory ore the new world, that now it was UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE, He thought that there was a significant les- son in these facts. He believed that God de- signs that the church should lead on the work of redeeming the world, and that the church should hold the olive branch of peace over all who love the Saviour, From the review of what the past showsall christians should be led to ask the personal question, “What am I doing to hasten the perry Mal of ne kingdom? What lonely missionary I prayed for?” He spoke of the luxuries of dress and of home, and said that in view of the pressin, needs of God’s work it was a matter that va 3 one should prayerfully consider as to what can be done for Mhe best interests of the missionary cause. Since the last general a Bishops Elliott, Wells, Roberts, H: Dunlop, Greene, Potter, Lee and Stevens have passed away. These deaths, he said, were a warning of the shortness of time in which to do the work. In conclusion he commended them all to greater diligence and faith, THE CLOSING SERVICES, Upon the conclusion of the sermon the offer- tory sentences were read by Rev. Dr. Lang- ford, the secretary of the board of missions. The choir sang an offertory while the offerin, for foreign and domestic missions were col- lected.
