GALVESTON, Nov. TO- Not much can be
said tonight touching the progress toward a
settlement of the differences leading to the
committee of ten were in session much of the
day and are progressing slowly in their
evidence, before them is being reduced to
writing, but as to the nature of that evidence
the pnSe are mot not aRprsed Ihe feeling

they will stand and 5. All the eviderce is in
and that IN eleventh juror will have to be call
nectiop the name of Judge Gustave Cook is be-
ing mentioned, but as he holds an official posi-
tiOn as judge OF the criminal court, It's hardly
probable he would consent to act.
The demand of the knights for the dismissal
of PatrOlmen Davis, DeBruhl, Warren and
Sparks, has not served to allay the growing
anlmosity OF the eolored men generally galnsG
the Knights of Labor. The event is deplOred n
all sides, and even conservative knights OF La
Dor, caudidly admit the demand on his honor,

Adiutant General King put in the day per
ambulating about the city, seeing what he
could see and hearing what he could hear. The
cotton exchange very graciously recognized

committee of six of its members to assist in
familiarrZ ng him with all the details of the
situation. This committee IS also instructed
to asc erta1n, as near as possible, what the loss
has been by the general embargo OF last week;
they 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
JinctiOn of a genuine Irish boyc tt
Your correspondent interviewed promi-
nent colored man to-day with view of getting
the feel ng against the Knights of Labor. Said
be: 'They are beaten and they know it. and
they are looking around for an easy let down.
They dare not admit they are defeated, as it
assured the committee of arbitration will make
no concessions to the Knights OF Labor.
"Well," enquired the correspondent, "the
|MalloryS will submit gracefully want they,
fif the decision goes against them ?"
"Ihey will submit to nothing" said the ccl-
sOred leader. "They are so firmly convinced
That they are in the right, that they do not ap-
>prehend a decision unfavorable to them. L
happen to know how Henry r., Mallory feels
y know that he has written that he
would lay up all his ships rather
than be dictated to in this matter as to who he
tould employ"
YThis interview illustrates the existing feeling
fam0ng the colored people, and may be said to
reflect the feeling of the Strand, the business
mart of Galveston, Indications point to ex-
