the Plans for Its Relief.
Washington Special.
The Greely arctic expedition was sent out
by the United States government in 1881, un-
der the plan arranged by the international
Geographical Congress held at Hamburg in
1879. 1t was placed under charge of LieuSen-
ant A. W. Greedy, U. s. A., and went out

Greedy and his party there, and his two as
sistants, Lieutenants +. F. Kislingbury and
]. B. Lockwood, both of the army, five sub
ordinate officers of the signal corps and fif-
teen selected enlisted men.
Congress in 1882 appropriated $4,000 for
the supply and relief of Lieutenant Greely
and his party. The supply expedition was
promptly sent but the vessel, the Neptune,
was prevented by the ice from communcat-
ing with the party, and returned after de-
posting large quantity of stores in man
ner which had been agreed upon with Lieu
tenant Greely in anticipation of such fail
ure. At its last session, Congress made an
other appropriation for the relief of the ex-
pedition, and the Yantic was sent north to
go out with the Proteus. Considerable effort
was made to prevent this years expedition
from miscarrying, ominous opinions having
been heard that if this years relief expedi-
tion failed there could be little doubt that
Greedy and his whole party would perish
miserably. Gen. Hazen went in person to St
Johns, and saw the Proteus started off

Darlington stated his plans in the following

The Knights of Labor.

CHICAGO Sept. 14.-The Chicago delegates
to the convention of Knights of Labor, late
ly closed in Cincinnati, have returned, and
one of them said this evening there were
156 delegates present at the first roll call, and
the number increased subsequently to 170.
There were representatives from a large
number of States, including Texas and Ar
kansas, though, of course, large proportion
were from the East and West.
One or two socialistic resolutions
were introduced, but were easily put aside
There We're several telegraph operators in
the convention, and two of them were elected
officers. There were no signs of their with
drawing. The convention let the telegraph
question severely alone, as the only way to
harmony. The telegraphers were misled in
going on strike, and they supposed the
Knights of Labor would stand back of them
with $100 900 to 5000, 900. The Knights of
Labor, he said always oppose strikes unless
forced into them.
The new officers elected are as follows
Grand master workman, T. V. Powderly,

of Illinois; grand secretary Fred. Turner, of
Philadelphia secretary insurance board, A.
L. McGraw, OF Pennsylvania; grand treas

PARIS Sept 14,-The Soir processes to give
the following as the heads of the proposals
by the Marquis Tseng, the Chinese embassa-
dor, to Challemel-Lacorr: That France
shall cease sending reinforcements to Ton
quin; that China will recognize the treaty OF
Hue, but will retain the right of investiture
of the Annamese sovereisn that the French
protectorate shall be under Chinese control
and under direction of the military manda-
rims and that China shall be reimbursed for
all expenses incurred in the repression of tie
Black Flags.
The Republique FrancaSe, in an article
upon the Tonquin question, takes the ground
that France cannot accept the proposed es-
tablishment of neutral zone but will be
satisfied if Tonquin is withdrawn entirely
from Chinese jurisdiction. 1t says that if
England can guarantee the agreement of
China TO these points tine whole trouble Will
be speedily ended.

with Heavy Loss

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. 14.-A fire this
morning destroyed the Brooklyn Felt-hat
Works of VIM. A. Boglin & Co. and the
Novelty Straw-hat Factory, owned by Chas
E. Everett, of Brooklyn. The fire broke out
first last night and was extinguished, as was
thought with loss of about 50 600 on the
building and $4,000 on the stock and ma
chinery. The fire again broke out at 6
O clock this morning and the structure was
all in flames before the firemen arrived. The
factory, together with two frame buildings
in the rear belonging to the same company,
was demolished. The loss on the building is
estimatee at $20,000 on machinery $4,000
and on stock S35, 900. The flames then ex-
tended to the Novelty Straw-hat Factory ad-
joining, and pretty well gutted the place
Everett said his loss ON the building would
be about $17 600 and loss on stock and ma
chinery from $25, 900 to $50, 900. They eni-
ployed about 200 hands. a tull force Of
hands had been ordered to work on Mon
day. Everett does not think his insurance
sufficient to cover the loss.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
Generally Satisfactory Condition of Trade
Throughout the Country.

Generally Satisfactory Condition of Trade
Throughout the Country.
New York, Sept. 14.-R. G. Dunn & Co.,
of the mercantile agency, report that the
events of the week do not mar the generally
satisfactory prospects for the business OF the
country. The weather, though somewhat
unreasonable, is favorable to the progress of
the fall trade, especially in the dry-goods
business which was very active during the
week, with a large movement of merchan-
disc. The transactions outside New York,
as indicated by the bank exchanges show a
considerable increase, with light decrease
in the city, owing, probably, to exceptional
causes Rumors as to damage to the corn
crop had the effect of stimulating spec
ulation in that staple, and advanc-
ing the price. The same remark
applies to cotton, which is active and higher
The same improvement is noted in the iron
trade with firmer prices. There is better
feeling in oil, prices being well supported
and business active. The grocery trade is
satisfactory. Business at the Stock Exchange
has been large, with general improvement
in the prices of securities, and money is
plenty aud at low rates. Altogether the stu
alton is more satisfactory than last week
and the prospect for the coming months ap-
pears excellent. Business failures, while
somewhat numerous, are, with few excep-
tious, unimportant, the number reported
during the week being 173 throughout the
United States and Canada.

men. The loss of the Black Flags is estimated
at between 500 and 600 men. Hanoi is the
town where Tie French have been holding
their garrison since the previous engagement
at Sontay, to await reinforcements.
1t is probable, from the tenor of the above

quarters are at Badminb, to the northeast of
Hanoi, det ermined to recapture Sontay from
the French, who have kept gunboats there the
last two weeks. and while en- route from

Particulars of the Canton Riot.

LONDON, Sept 14-The Standards Hong
Kong dispatch gives additional details Of the
rioting at Canton on Monday last. The riot
began at o'clock in the morning. As pre-
viously stated, the trouble was caused by a
quarrel between some Chinese and a Portu-
guese watchman on the quay During the
latter part of riot some of the merchants
armed themselves to defend their property;
the party consisted of nine Germans and
three Englishmen. They fired into the mob,
killing five Chinese and wounding many
more The arrival OF Chinese troops finally
checked the mob. There are now two
British, one French and five Chinese gum
boats moored in the river abreast of the
foreign settlement. The Chinese posted
placards on the walls of the city, applauding
the action of the populace, and
calling upon them to kill the
Europeans at the next opportunity which
presents itself The different consuls at Can
ton admit that the situation is very serious
and the future of the European colony
gloomy in the extreme There is almost
open war between the natives and the for
eign elements, and it will be necessary to
have men-of-war in the harbor for long
time to come as a measure OF protection. The
houses burned by the mob include ten En-
glish, one American, two German and one
French. The consuls forwarded to the Vice
roy an identical note holding him anSWera-
BILE for the destruction OF property, because
he failed to promptly send troops when ad-
vised of tine disorder. Three Cinnamon who
were caught in the act of plundering proper
ty, and the Portuguese who were the imme-
diate cause OF the outbreak are now in pris-
on at the British consulate.

New York, Sept. 14.-The Senate sub
committee on labor and education to-day re-

A, Emerson, colored, once resident of Ar
kansas, now living here, advocated the adop-
ton of system of postal savings banks in
this country similar to those in London.
They would be beneficial to the country and
boon to the colored people of the South
by affording means of laying up their small
earnings. The greatest evil, he said which
threatened colored labor in the South
was the store system What the South
needed was education, and ali the troubles
arising from race distinction would be over
come. There was no difficulty in support
ing schools in the South, as the people were
willing to contribute literally.
