One of these is the following passage, indicating the origin of the Austro-Hungarian alliance, which, it is veported, was obtained from Prince Bis- marck: k “In 1870 the czar of Russia_wrote to Fm- peror William of Germany demanding that the German delegates upon the commission aetermine that tho frontier of Novi Bazar conform to the wishes of the Russians. Emperor William, on the advice of Prince Bismarck, refused to comply with thade- mands of the czar, although they were re peated in un increasing menacing tone. “The IRussian emperor at last sent a com- munication, saying that the continuance of peace depended upon the compliance of the erman cmpero Princo Bismarck, on re- it of the lotter, declared that the expres- ons therein were contained in an official ocument. Ho advised the mobilization of the army against Russia, and urged the smperor to insist thav any further cor. respondence with the Russian government w conducted officially. The emperor wopted the suggestion, but, unknown to Prince Bismarck, he first sent General Manteuffel to visit the czar. and afterward went himself to see the Russign omperor. The German emporor's cordial attitude towards Russia, however, did not serve to relieve the tension between the two countries, the responsibility for which rested mainly upon Prince Cortscha- koff, Prince Bismarck at a subscquent date wont to Vienna and acquainted Count Andrassy of the interchange of letters be- tween the Russian and German emperors and expressed fears that netotintions for a Franeo-Russian allianee were proceeding, if they had not already been concluded. Count Andrassy, after due reflectioi, replied that the only counterpoise to such an allinnce was an_alliance between Austria and Germany, Bismark concurred in this belief and the alliance was ultimately hrought about, although the sanction of the German and Austrian emperors was aot easily obtamed.” Cab's Flinhes.

SEASON‘OF DEPRESSION FOR LABORERS Trials of the Order Sot Forth at Length in the Report of the General Kxecative Board — Falting OfF in ecelpts, Purtanereria, Nov. 16.~The report of the general executive board of the Kimights 1.1{ Labor was given out for publication this morning. It opans with a review of the year's work and a justification of the board’s course as follows: The past year has been one of trial to organized labor. When your board has been appealed to and asked for advice In cases of aespair, or when reductions of wages have been proposed by employers, they have felt it their duty to counsel cautious and con- servative action, even in instances where other circumstances, demands for increased wages or the resistance of a proposed reduc- tion would have been proper and right. “The steady stream of inimigration which, in spite of restrictive legislation, continues to flow to the shores of this continent, makes it comparatively easy for employers to fill the place of striking workmen, In addition, labor has had this year to reckon with the fact of a financial panic and an industrinl depression. dn the case of the panic, it is a question that it_would be unprofitable to here discuss. Whether it was occasioned by the operation of the so-called Sherman act, as some ns- sert, to the uncertainty regarding the tarift legislation, as others maintain, or whether it was a part of a deliberately planned conspiracy, having for its object the doubling of the value of the world’s funded debts through the contrac- tion of the world's money, which would be an inevitable consequence of the demonetiz- tion of silver, a8 an increasing number be- lieved, need not hore be discussed.” Referenca was made by the v treasurer to the falling off of the per capita tax. 'This was ascribed not to a failing be- liof in the order's principles, but to sheer ina- bility of members to pay their dues. Muy Demand a Resignation. The row in the ranks of the Kuights of Labor, which started last night with the filing of the report of Grana Treasuver Hayes, was continued with great bitterness today and tonight, A. W. Wright of the general board ac- cusod Mr. Hayes of huving a false system of bookkeeping and timated very strongly Mr. Hayes had been carried away by his enmity to the general master workman to the extent of deliberately falsifying the ac- counts s0 as to mislead the dele, 1t is understood Mr. Powderly will occupy the floor of the convention al! tomorrow and then the executive board will formally de- mand Mr, Hayes' resignation. A member of the board sard this evening: “If the charges are dismissed and the counter charges maintained, a general offi- cer, not a member of the general board, vill be forced to resign. It is said the outcome of this assembly will be the beginning of the greatest movement for organized labor this country ever saw. Whether Mr. Pow- derly will be the head of the movement or not, it is thought no one man will again pos- sess the power held by him.” IN EXTRAOKDINARY SESSION.

The presence here of Lopez, the leader of the organizors, has creatod no little amount of uneasiness among the federal officers of Juaroz and the City of Mexico, s is evi. denced by the fact that President Diaz has telegraphed the military authorities at the tormor city to show no mercy to any of the revolutionists captured, but to shoot them at once and without ceremony. Lopez is not in El Paso at present, but he accomplished much while here. He offored positions of military rank without any regard to nation- ality to any and ali men who would organizo a company of 100 soldiers. Whero he so mysteriously disappeared to n0 oue knows, and his sudden sinking out of sight is puzzling to the spies sent here to fol- low and watch his movements. Last night a special train loft Chihuahua with, six troops of cavalry and four com- panies of infantry. The former disembarked at San Jose and struck out this morning for the west, prosumably for Corralitos, while tho infantry came through to Juurez to guard the custom house. The cav- alry troops will be joined by other federal force: from Casa Grande and will try to bold Corralitos against the rebels, who, it is said, however, now have posses- sion of that point. It 1s known that the troops from Casa Grande and the revolu- tionists, who took Ascension and Las Palmas, have met in battle, but the results have not boon heard. The sympathizovs with the rebel forces are satisfied that the vebels ave worsted, in which case they claim that Corralitos is now in the hands of rebels and that the six troops of cavalry dispatched from Chihuahua will avail nothing, as the captors have had their num- bers doubled at Corralitos, each recruit being well urmed and futly equipped. CLEW 10 R ,OKERY ROBUBERS, Chleago Pollos Furnlshed a Pointer by a Newaboy Who Saw the Thieves. Curcago, Nov, 16.—It was announced today that the police had obtained a slight clew to the identity of the two men who yester- dny robbed Treasurer J. A. Drake of the Illinois, Indiana & Towa rail- way of over $20,000. A nowsboy was found, who said that in making his rounds hesaw two men hurriedly emerge from the Rookery building, whero the robbery took place, about the time of the assauit. ~From the description given by the boy, the police professed to think they would be able to ap- prehend the robbers. Mr. Drake, the victim of the assault, was able to be at his office today. A cut over the eye and a large lump on his head were the only wounds he received. Drake was apparently extremely nervous as a_result of the affair and refused to be interviewed In the investigation of the alleged theft of £22,000 and the assault on Treasurer Drake, the police have turned their attention to looking up the past record of the young man who says that he wasrobbed. It is said Mr. Dralke has lost heavily on the races lately and is extravagant in his habits. The general manager of the Indiana, Illi- nois & Iowa road, T. P. Souts, who is a brother-in-law of the assaulted treasurer, scouts the idea of such a suspicion, “He has $100,000 stock in this company, and many other interests that ho could have disposed of if he was short of money. Then, too, his father is worth $3,800,000 at least, and would let him have money if he needed it.” “Have you heard anything about his los- ing heavily on tho race track and at cards?” Mr. Souts was asked. “I heard that he dropped $2,000 on Yo Tambien- recently, but 1 don’t believe any such story, and never knew that he meddled with cards, I cannot but believe that he was robbed as hesays.” Mr. Souts declared he thought a great deal of Mr. Drake, and their relations were most friendly. —_—— BLACK HILLS TRAGEDY.
