THE SITUATION on THE ISLAND.
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. l0.-Not much
can be said tonight touching the progress
/ toward the settlement OF the differences
! leading to the recent disastrous boycott
| Tho arbitration committee of ten were In
session much OF the day and are progress
| ing slowly in their thorough investigation
OF the matter. All the evidence before
them IS being reduced TO writing, but as
TO the nature of that evidence the public
are not appriSed. The feeling is
growing that the committee will
be unable to agree, that they will
| stand five and five when all the
evidence is in and that IN eleventh Juror
will have to be called in to cast the decid-
ing vote. In this connection the name of
Judge Gustaye Cook is being mentioned.

perambulating about the city seeing what
he could see and hearing what he could

Of the last week. Its members are TO
calculate on all business and labor and
reduce the result to dollars, so we shall
know just what it costs to enjoy the dis

correspondent interviewed Il prominent
colored man to-day with a view of caug-
ing the feeling against the knights of
Labor.
Said he "They are beaten and they
know it, and they are looking around for
an easy let-down. They dare not admit
that they are defeated as it will disrupt
their order on this island, but rest assured
the committee of arbitration will make no
concessions to the Knights of Labor"
"Well," inquired your correspondent,
'the Mallorys will submit gracefully, |
won't they, if the decision goes against
them"
"lhey will submit to nothing" said |
the colOred leader, "thcy are so firmly |
convinced that they are in the right that |
they do not apprehend "A de 'ision unfav-

he would lay up all his
ships rather than be dictated to in the
matteras to WHOM he should employ"
