Ixpraxapouis, Nov. 14.—At their session this morning the knights of labor are hearing the reports of the general officers and committees, but nothipg will be given out until the session endsat noon. The annual report of General Master Workman Powderly will not be delivered until late in the day owing to the non-arrival of the printed copies. These reports will pro- bably take up all of the time to-day and to- morrow. The appeal of Thomas B. Barry for a hearing, which was sent in these dispatches last night, was sent by him to the general assembly this morning, and their ac- tion on it will be awaited by him before he does anything further. Just what he may do is a problem that causes some worry among the knights. He keeps a close watch on his tongue regarding his probable movements, but talks freely in criticism of the present management of the order. 2 OTHER OPPOSITION TO POWDERLY is based more on a claim of weakness in man- agement than on such allegations as have been made by Barry, Still this opposition is scarce- ly in form to fight him and he will doubtless be re-elected without trouble in case he Fil areca which | no one of his friends wil say. One talking dele- pate oP Powderly “because he no backbone and because he is influenced by that gang of corruptionists from New York who have been the bane of the order since the Richmond convention.” He further says “that in a general way Powderly makes a good gen- eral master workman, but he has given the order away several times, at Chicago and Cohoes, and history will prove that even the southwest strike, given away by Tom McGuire = Charley Litchman, was inspired by Pow- y.” However, this same delegate conceded Pow- derly’s election. It is the lack of concentration of the opposition that will bring about this re- sult. Among those mentioned in these dis- patches heretofore as possible candidates, no one is more frequently spoken of than W. 7. Lewis, of Pittaburg. He is chief executive of the miner’s associations, comprising fifty thou- sand members, and his organization is liable to withdraw at their meeting in December un- less action agreeable to their wishes is taken at this time. Homer L. McGaw, i , one of the pioneers of the order, and an anti-Powderly man, isin the city, but not as a delegate.

REPUBLICANS CHARGING THE DEMOCRATS WITH A DESIRE TO STEAL IT—A SIMILAR CHARGE OF DEMOCRATS AGAINST REPUBLICANS—A GRY OF FRAUD INEVITABLE IN ANY EVENT. A desperate game is in progress as to the or- ganization of the next House. Heretofore it has been almost universally conceded that the republicans would have a small majority, as in- dicated by the returns, Democratic claims are now being made that, if allowed, would give them the organization of the House. A dis- patch received from Senator Kenna this morn- ing declared that it was now settled that the democrats had crrried West Virginia and elected ali four of the Representatives to Con- gress. The democrats also claim the election of Simmons in North Carolina, This would give them a majority of one in the House, REPUBLICANS CHARGE THAT DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE HOUSE. It is asserted by republicans that the demo- crats are trying to steal the House by certify- ing men from the south, There is great anx- iety on the — of republican members of the louse, ‘They say that their majority is Lec d pared down by clever minipulation, and insidiously the ae ae working to Se a ly. Mr. they say, foresaw tl nger, and it was on'account of it that he came to Washington to take personal charge of the con- gressional matters. A good many anxious fnqniries have been made at the republican league headquarters. To all who have asked him, Mr. Quay responds that THE REPUBLICANS ARE SURE TO ORGANIZE THE HOUSE. He admits that the democrats are scheming the best they know how, but he has confidence in the ability of the republicans managers to take care of their interests. All those inter- ested do not feel as confident as Mr. Quay. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AMONG DEMOCRATS, There has been some difference of opinion among democrats as to whether it was desirable to make a fight for the organization of the House. ‘Two considerations weighed against each other One was that it was better to give the republi- cans full responsibility for the government, with the full measure of embarrass- ment 4ttending, than to hold the House by @ majority’ too small to be of any avail, and to be out of power everywhere else, The other consideration was that if given both houses of Congress the republicans could not only admit new republican territories, but could inerease their strength by a new appor- tionment as well. This last consideration, to- gether with a natural reluctance to yield any power they may be able to hold, has led to the determination MAKE A FIGHT FOR IT and hold the House if possible. They do not, of course, confess to the accu- sation of the republicans that they will attempt to hold it by fair or by foul means, They profess merely a determination not to let any district go by default. Ap- garently the organization of thelr cam- | paign committee has gone to pieces, while the republicans are strengthened by the active Legh cal sae of Mr. Quay and | Mr, Dudley. But the doubtful districts are in states where they are best organized and ina position to affect the result, IT MIGHT NOT BE A DIFFICULT THING in West Virginia, North Carolina and Virginia, where the result is in doubt, to give the certi- ficate to the democrat, and let the contest go to the House. This would give them a ma- jority on the outset. A member occu contested seat has all the rights and pri of any other member, and even if it is evident that he will afterward be unseated, he can vote in the organization of the House upon all meas- ures that may come up while he occupier the seat andeven upon his own contest. In the southern states the democrats might certify democrats in all the doubtful districts, and there is practically nothing that could be done to prevent it. ‘They have not only the state or- ganization but the state courts, before which the only appeal could be taken. THE REPUBLICANS MIGHT RETALIATE IN MICHIGAN AND CALIFORNIA ‘ to the extent of probably three members and so get the House if the democrats depend only upon West Virginia and North Carolina returns for their majority. If there were a wholesale disregard of honesty it is hard to tell which | would come out ahead. Upon their own claims | the democrats appear to have a majority of one | or two, A CRY OF FRAUD TO BE EXPECTED IN ANY SPENT. The question cannot be settled until the official returns are in, and then whichever way it goes there will be a cry of fraud. The demo- crats, on their side, declare that Quay and Dudley are conspiring to steal Virginia and West Virginia and to control the House, ———— cee THE EXPOSITION OF 1892. An Important Conference at Willard’s Hotel To-day. A conference was held at Willard’s hotel this afternoon between Messrs. M. M. Parker, Geo. C. Gorham, Thos. J. Luttrell, Hallett Kilbourn, John H. Magrader, and Secretary Anderson, on the part of the exposition board of promo- tion, and representatives of all the trunk railroads, The exposition committee pointed | out the profits which would undoubtedly accrue to the railroads if the exposition of 1892 is made a success. The committee asked the railroads for a contribution of $10,000, and the railroad men considered the matter in se- cret session, but without coming to any defi- nite conclusion, An answer will be sent to the committee on the 27th instant, and it is be-| lieved that the money will be forthcoming as soon thereafter as necessary, WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. es Carre rnom Mextco.—On the recommenda- tion of the commissioner of agriculture the Treasury department has modified its insfruc- tions of October 25 last so as to authorize the importation of cattle from Mexico at Lanoria, Hereford, and Buenos Ayres, Ariz.

The attendance both of members and spectators was not as large as at the opening meeting yesterday; but later in the day the church gradually filled up. The secretary, Rev. Mr. Anstice, read the minutes of yesterday's proceedings, which were approved. Rev. Ed- — Abbott, of Cambridge, Mass., offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of nine to prepare AN ADDRESS TO THE CHURCH-AT-LARGE, setting forth the needs and aims of church missions, which address was to be printed and read in all the churches after adoption by the council. Attention was called to the a] ‘tment of a similar committee to report at the present ses- sion, but Bishop Whipple, who was chairman of that committee, sald that the proposed reso- lution would fiot conflict in any way with the erp the committee appointed at the last counci , After further discussion the resolution was laid on the table for the time. The venerable presiding bishop, Bishop Wil- having entered the church: Bishop ple resigned the chair to him. Rey. Mr. Abbott offered a resolution stating that the council hears with pleasure of the pro- ject to erect a mission house in the city of Rot York, and commends it to the cooperation of the church, Rev. Dr. Langford said in reference to the pro- ject that it was not in a condition to be dis- cussed at a public meeting. The hope was en- tertained that such a house would be erected, and that was all that could be said at present, The resolution was adopted, SYMPATHY WITH BISHOP WEED. Bishop Whipple offered a resolution expres- sive of sympathy with Bishop Edwin G. Weed, of Florida, in the sad affliction which has vis- ited his diocese, and commending the heroism of himself and his parishioners in aiding the sick in the pestilence. Bishop Whipple said that for a portion of each year he wasa ishioner of Bishop Weed, and he could not but admire the zeal and energy of this’ bishop in his missionary field. But few of the parishes were self-sustaining and the work of organiza- tion and constant supervision was very heavy. THE AMERICAN CHURCH BUILDING FUND. The eighth annual report of the American church building fund commission was read by Rev. Chas. H. Malcolm, the corresponding sec- rr The object of the commission was stated to be the aid of feeble churches to pro- cure buildings, and also to make suggestions to the smaller missions as to tasteful designs, both of interior and exterior design. Through the commission a large number of churches have been built, and it is also believed that an improved style of architecture may be traced to the same influence. While elegant church edifices are constructed, yet the commission states the large proportion are the cheap buildings erected by the con- tributions of the people of moderate means, The small building is, as a rule, the foreranner of the more stately structure. ‘During the past year forty-seven applications for aid have been received and responded to, Loans amounting to $46,500 have been made, ranging inamounts from $200 to $3,000. The average amount loaned to each church was $1,000, THE MOST NOTABLE CONTRIBUTION during the year was one of $7,000 from Mr. Winner, completing his magnificent gift of $50,000. This was a special fund to be known as the Bishop Robertsonfund. There were now five special funds controlled by the commission, one of which was the Cornelius Vanderbilt fund of $5,000. The fact was noted with com- mendation that the bish of the church had signed a request that the second Sunday in November be appointed as the time for maki an annual offering to this fund. The report calls attention to the fact that during the year not one dollar had been lost, and while some times the payments were delayed, yet the inter- est was always kept pp. Bishop Knicker! ter, of Indiana, commend- ed heartily the work of the commission, and spoke of the great help and encouragement which the commission extended to feeble churches, with the result that churches were nourished into life which otherwise would never have survived. He offered a resolution strongly calling to the attention of the church the claims of this organization, Remarks were made by othen members in support of the importance of the work of the commission. if THE GROWTH OF THE BUILDING FUND. Hon. L, Bradford Prince, of New York city, spoke of the growth of the fund, and said for the financial year ending September 1, $68,000 had been paid into the fund, an amount ex- ceeding that received during the six preceding years. The number of parishes contributing to the fund in the year 1886 numbered 100, — le thought that over 300 parishes had, in accord- ance with the bishop's circular, made their contribution to the fund on Sunday last. The amount of money actually sent out in loans during the past year reached nearly the sum of £50,000, and this money was placed not only in the’ west, but throughout the cast and south.’ The reason for the ag growth inthe work of the commission, thought, was due to the fact that people were beginning to understand the practical character of the work and its great need and necessity. He said that in no way could money be better invested in christian work, if he could use such a term in this connection, than in the work of the commission. The money loaned out comes back, $5,000 year before last and $8,000 last year. This money comes in and goes out and is constantly doing good. In this respect it does what no other church fund does. After further discussion the report was adopted. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF MIS- BIONS. Rev. Dr. Elliot, of this city, on behalf of the committee to whom was referred the report of the board of managers on missions, submitted areport. The eommittee recommends the ap- pointment on the commission of a representa- tive of the colored people, and speaks with aj proval of the increase in the amount of the contributions for general missionary purposes. ‘The committee further recommends that the children be interested in missions, and thatthe money contributed by them during Lent be devoted to missions, A resolution was sub- mitted in the report commending the work of the women of the church in the cause of mis- sions. A YOUNG COLORED MAN FROM BAYTI. By permission of the council a young col- ored man, Rev. Mr. Holly, the son of Bishop Holly, of Hayti, made an address in regard to the work carried on by his father. H ke specially in favor of the plan to raise $12,000 in this country to erect in the Bel Air district of Port-au-Prince a chapel and two one . which is ig be used for hee coat pr and the other as a dispensary. The great cos of medical attendance in ss oom and the ignorance of the practice was among reasons for carrying out this enterprise. CHILDREN’S LENTEN OFFERINGS, report of Rev.

He spoke of the republican government of Liberia, which, he said, was largely imitated after this government, He predicted the eastern exten- sion of the republic to the Red Sea, and he said that this accession of territory would be brought about by Christian influences, Before he concluded a recess was taken for lunch until 2 o'clock, and when the session was ee ed, Rey.

Improvements Which Citizens’ Associa= tion No. 3 Think Should be Made. The Commissioners have received a copy of the report of the committee on streets and res- ervations to citizens’ association No. 3, in which after stating that the northern portion of East Washington has received very little at- tention in the matter of improvements in pro- portion to what has been done in the whole or in other portions of the northeast, a list of streets which should be improved is presented, and it is recommended that precedence be given as the streets appear on the list. The re- port concludes as follows: “Your committee has put at the head of the streets to be paved the south side of H street, from Ist to Boundary. H street is the natural outlet from the center of the city into the great thoroughfares leading into Maryland on the fast oF Washington. It is the main business street for that portion of the city, Several years since the north side of the street was paved from North Capitol street to Boundary, also the south side of the street from North Capitol to 1st. The south side of the street, from Ist street to Boundary, is in an ex- tremely bad condition, so rough that it is eat affliction to any one who is obliged to eeral on it. There isan immense amount of travel on the street, every one (from either way) trying to crowd into the one side that is paved. On account of the great necessity a arent and the great good that would inure to The public, as well as those residing on and in the vicinity of H street, we have given it the first place on the list. Your committee has also made a list of streets that we recommend to be aded and regulated. We also recommend that preference be given them as they appear on the list, beginning at the head of the list: Streets to be paved with asphalt—H, from 1st to Boundary; 8th, from Massachusetts avenue to H; 7th, from Hto Boundary; 9th, from East Capitol to C; Ist, from to F; 2d, from F to H; A, from 7th to 9th; Massachusetts avenue, from North Capitol to 4th; 5th, from E to C; I, from 6th to 7th.

Eee thts Protection of Fish and Game. VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW BY GUNNERS AND FISHERS ALONG THE VIRGINIA SHORE OF THE RIVER, Complaint is made that the law for the pro- tection of fish and game is being constantly violated on the Potomac river near the mouth of Four-mile run. It is stated that for some days past three boats have been in the river, one off the point this side of the run, another almost oe the run near the channel, and the third off Dangerfield’s point, which is be- low the run toward Alexandrit, The persons on these boats, it is charged, have been killing hundreds of ducks with large guns, and been catching fish with trap nets. The que as to whether that part of the river is in the District or not has been raised. The Dis- trict ine on the Maryland shore is nearly, if not, exactly opposite Alexandria, and as the District hascontrol of the river to the high water mark on the Virginia shore it is claimed that the alleged violation of law occurred with. in the jurisdiction of the District. Should this ve to be so upon investigation an effort will e made to prosecute the offenders in the Dis- trict courts, Last Sunday, it is stated, many rock-t were caught in th tray nets, besides hundreds of small 1s which were thrown away. It has been several months since there has been a prosecutiou for a violation of the law protecting the fish in the Potomac. This law, which prohibits the use of any seine, net, trap, or other contrivance, was passed March 2, 1885, to be in force for five ears from that date, so that it holds good until h 2, 1890, on which day, in the absence of further: legislation, it will be lgwful to haul seines and take fish from the river With nets, &c. potent tests a The Tunnel Court of Inquiry.

Bailey, a civil engineer, who was atone time an assistant to Mr. Coryell, Mr. Bailey’s knowledge of the condition of affairs in the tunnel was, he confessed, somewhat limited, as his duties had not called him to places where the character of the work was easily seen, His duties were simply to take cross-sections when he was ordeted to do so by Lieut.

Lucas was then telling him to away, that he did not want to fight. Fenton Vebb said before Green rushed, ** i chance,” and witness called to Bray, who was with Lucas, to let him go, for the man was rushing on him. George Bray, James Chinn, and Henry Cole- man testified as to the occurrences outside of the church. MORE TESTIMONY AS TO THE KILLING OF LUCAS. This morning Hiram Jones, a colored boy of fourteen years testified that he saw the parties face to face, when Green put his hand in his hip a walked yp to Jimmy (deceased) and went to him this way (giving hishanda thrast forward). Witness did not hear Green say any- thing when he went to Lucas. Samuel Carter testified that he saw Green making at Lucas and when he returned Lucas was holding his hand on his abdomen. Wm.

Mr. Coleman took hold of the one stand- ing up, who said: “Before I take anything off of the —— ofa » Tl cut his heart out and go to jail for it.” GREEN UNDER THE BED WHEN ARRESTED, Officer J. W. Howell testified that he arrested Green the morning following (September 13) at his house, on G street southwest, and had some conversation with him. Green denied that he cut Lucas or was at the church, On cross-examination witness said that Green was under the bed undressed and his feet sticking out from beneath the bed. Irene Rollins testified that she was passit the church; heard Green make a bleckguan remark, but did not see the fight. Afterward saw Bray holding Green by the coat and Lucas sitting on the church steps. Green said that “Before that man shall whip me I'll cut his guts out and be hung for it.” LUCAS’ DYING DECLARATION, The government offered the dying declara- tion of Lucas. The defense objected, and Mr. Lipscomb stated that he questioned Lucas as to his apprehension of death, and he being aware he could not live made the statement in narrative form, and he (Mr. L.) made it and read it over to him, Mr. Lipscomb was sworn and testified to writing the statement. _, The defendant objected on the ground that it was not complete. The question was reserved. MR. LEWIS STATES THE CASE. Mr. Lewis then stated the case; that a quar- rel took place, and in the combat blows passed and Green attempted to get out of the fight in the best way he could, and that the cuts were made when Lucas was on top of him, and were made in defense of his tite and limb. He claimed that the church people were all here asking Green's blood. Green had but one witness, and that was Bray, who stated that he | ulled Lucas off from Green, and that the lows were inflicted in the fight, in which he was endeavoring to escape. TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE, Lucy Smith testified that Bray told her that he pulled Lucas off of Green, She saw the fight, but not distinctly, and remembered that there were some base ball bats in the air.

Mr. Mulloney proceeded to argue the case for the government. —_——___ LORD SACKVILLE’S EFFECTS. No Complaint by Local Tradesmen Against Their Being Sold at Auction. The story printed ina New York paper that local tradesmen were much exercised over the fact that Lord Sackville’s wines were to be dis- posed of at auction next week is believed to be without foundation. A Star reporter to-day saw one of the largest importers of liquors in the District and asked him if he had made any complaint in regard to the proposed sale. “Certainly not,” was the reply, “and I do not believe that any one else has. Lord Sackville, in selling out his goods at auction, is only doing what many foreign ministers have done before. Of course his wines go with the rest of his ef- fects. Such a sale does enter into competition with us, for his wines were imported free from duty, and we have to pay the duty before we take ours from the custom house; but there is no way to prevent such a sale until a foreign minister is charged duty upon what- ever he brings into this country just the same as one of our own . ‘The abuse of the courtesy extended foreign ministers,” he continued, “is found in the fact that some will No COMPLAINT AT THE TREASURY. aboutthe sale of Lord Sack- ville’s effects has been made at the Treasury de- and if one should be made no atten- tion will be to it, as the Treasury depart- faethe rm in the matter.
