Hecan earn £50,000 by whipping me, for I can got bucking without limit."” Just now Corbett has nothing ahoad unless it is a contest witn Peter Maher, the Irish champion, who recenuy accepted Corbett’s defy 1o the world, and posted 81,000 to cover Corboit's £1,000 which was already up. Corbett then promptly put_up the remaining 4,000, but Maner tias failed to follow suit. Speaking of this matter, t said: “In the fiest place, [ do not consider that Mater s in my_class, but when ho posted his 81,000, I could not'go back on my ¢ lenge. and_put up the remainder of tho money. Now I understand ho wants to wait until December 15 to_decide whethor he will put up tho rest.

President Hart has no hesitation in saying that everything poiuts to a sottlement Jn baseball affaivs and that it wiil probably come in the shape of a twelve club league. That would only bo a makeshift and it would not be long before the number was roduced to oight. The eight club league is really the ideal one and this country ean support but one first class one. In fact, Hort says, there are not eight first class basevall cities iu thé country and-none ot them can support two clubs. ————— Will Be Paid Sixty Per Cent.

IN inst | FARMERS' WIEK INDIANAPOLIS. That Will Hold Forth There — Schemes of the Agris cultural sts—What the Knights of Labor Have Been Doing. Conventions foreno, O., Nov. 16--General Master Workman Powderly this aftaruoon gave the following statement to the Associated Press ning the charges mado by ex-Secrotary Turner in an interview printed in the Pitts- burg, Cincinnati and other papers yesterday : “I have no knowledgo of what letters Mr. Turner may have publishod in the Phila- delphia paners and cannot be expectod to reply to them. ““In an ofticial intercourse of several years wany lotters of a personal and private char- acter were necessarily exchanged, and while I have no comment to make on the publica- tion of private iettors, I kuow that thero was nothing in theso lotters that I am ashamed of. Tho means resorted to increaso my salary and build my house were not, as stated in Mr. Turner's published statoments, The money that paid for my house was due me; it was mine and I am not, and never was under any obligations to the order for onecent of it. The cancelled ecks Mr. Turner holds may be justas he but these checks should be in the pos- sssion of the general assembly of the Koights of Labor. 1f they were for money of the order they belong to the order, and in retaining them Mr. Turner gives coloring to the charge that he is dishonest, while I never accused bim of anything worso than com- petency. All the money I have ever drawn from the order was drawnon checks ana shoula bo in charge of the prosent treasurer. Mr. Turner had the oppor- tunity to explain theso checks and hverything else in his pissession to the spe- cial committoe, He retained the bank books ho used as secrotary-treasurer, und we had no means o1 knowing what thedeposits were, for the system of our office was uot then as itis now. The special committeo could not do otherwise than make its report as it did when Mr. Turner refused to appear befors it. Since 1888, thoe general secretary treasurer is obliged to bring his books to edch session of the general assembly, so that every dele- gate may have access to them, and a‘contin- uance of Mr. Turner’s system of bookkeep- ing is impossible, The motion to upvoint & special committeo was made by one friendly to Mr. Turner, in oraer that he might vindicate himself, bt he refused to go before the committoo on tho ground that I never appointed an bonest com- mitteo. Our records show that in 1580, 1881, 1552 and 1883 Mr. Turner was a memoer of the finance committee on my appoiutment. Since then and until 1588 he was a member of the committee on secret work on my ap- pointment, and it does not como with a wood grace for Mr. Turner tonow say that I never appointed u committee that did its duty. In fact it is a self condemuatory statement. Auyway the papers should be turned over to his successor. Heo could very easily make a tabulated statement of his uccounits, could have made a list by name and number of all stub, check aud benk books and could have taken his successor’s receints for the same. That would have shielded him ana u failure to produce any of these books would reflect on his successor and not ou him. As it is, we earnot account for $117,000 and ho rofuses to do so. Our only plan would be to o into the courts, but that is a matter for the general assembly to decide: so far as I am concerned, T court the fullest investigation into ray very act. Have nothing to conceal and nothing 1o be ashamed of.” cou FAAMERS' CONVENTIONS. Different Orginizations Which Will Meet at Indianapolis This Week. INpiasaporss, Ind., Nov. 16.—This is surely to be a farmers’ week at Indianapolis. Gvory known organization of American farmers holds somo sort of meeting hero. The supreme council of the Farmers Alii- ance aud Industrial union will be tho main thing. Then there is the supreme council of the Farmers Mutual Benefit association, the executivo committee of the Coufeder- ated Industrial anious, the exccutive com- mittee of the people’'s party, the National Board of Organizers, the Reform Press usso- ciation and the National State Agents asso- ciation all hold meetings. All the allied interests of these concerns ace being considered geverally. — Shall they be taken colicctively and mergod iuto one in- terest is a question ‘that may receive more or less attention. What hinders this, and now far shall poiitics be involved 'on other provlems? Wil the allisuco nominate a na- tioual ticket or will it be loft for the people’ party, is & question on which the outsico world is vacuely pondering. The present conventions are not for the purpose of nom- inating tickets, but for transacting the vast business of tho intorests involved and for considering measures looking to the future of allied concerns. Today hundreds of delogates to the various meetings have arrived and every train brings wmore. The National State Agents association beld a meeting today, but refused to make public its business. The reports of the various state agents will be made tho basis for a consolidated report to be made to the alli- ance, The executive committee of tho confeder- ated industrial organizations held an impor- tant meeting this aftornoon. Tho confeder- ated organizations embrace the Farmers Mutua! Benefit association, the Farmers Alliance and Industrial union, the National Alliance and Co-operative unio, the Citizens Alliance and Knights of Labor. the mombers of tho executive committeo aro Ben Terrell of Texns, chairman; C. W. McCune of Texas, John P. Stille of Tilinois, R. M. Humphrey of Texas, T. V. Powderly of Pennsylyania and Raiph Beaumont of Kan- sus, each representing one of tho organizn- tions named above. Mr. Powderly was not present ow| sickuoss in his family. One of the principal subjects discussod was the proposed change of the location of the meeting of the conference in February from Washington to some more central point. Chicago will probably be selected. Presidont Terrell swd of the objects of this meeting: Its purpose is to take action toward the unification of all labor interests; to nuopt & pletform that all the organizations composing the confederation can stand by it by united actioa 80 they may secure the legis- lation they are domanding. Another matier that will be taken up at tho February meet g will bo the question of the admission to the confederation of a number of other or- ganizations that have applied, among them being the Federation of Labor, the Kmghts of_Industry and the Labor Christian union, Naturally thero is a eroat deal of political gossip in connection with the meeting, Tho hardest political fight will be made oa the endorsement of the people’s party by the allinnce. The consensus of opinion of the delegates already here is that the alhance will not endorse the third party movement, but will endorse that party whose platform most closely proclaims allisnce principles. he members of the allianco are piqued ause the republicans are making much of alliance opposition to Cleveland. A number of them are guoted ns being opposed to Cleveland because of his position on free colnage. “But,”’ said President Polk to a reporter, “while itis true that they are op- posed to Clevaland, the alliance will voto as readily against Harrison or Blaine, or Cleve- land, or &ill, or aoy other man who does not advacate the alliance principles. We do not vote for men, but for priveiples, consequently 1t would be 'the veriest inconsistency for us 10 voto for Cleveland and Harrison, who are singlo standard men.” to KNIGHTS OF LABUR. They Refuso to Endorse the Sunday Closing of the Worla's Fair. kD0, O., Nov, 16.—At the Knights of Labor assembly today the first busiuess was tho resolutions presented by the World's Women's Christian Temperanco union &na tho Nutional Women's Christiun Temper. reo uulon.

The fourth rosolutior was for the prevention of the sale of liquor 61 the World's fair grounds, and the Konighisy, geclined to indorse this “T'he last resolution asked the endorsement of a petition to pmmh' the sale of aleohol and opium aud otharngrcotics, and to raise the standus nf\lw g¥prywhero to that of Chris tian mnrul« 918" was referred to a com wittee to prepare an answer in consonance with the wishios of the general assembly. At the afternoon session Mr. Powder! made a statement to the assembly with re- gard o ex-Secretary Tarver's chargos, which ware practically the same as the interview he gave the Associated press. It was decided to raise a mileage fund, by an assessment of 5 cents on every member ench July, to pay the mileage of delegates to the gsneral assembly.
