WASHINGTON CITY July 70 "A good deal
Of gossip is afoat in financial and senatorial
circles about purported action on the Nor
rison surplus resolution 1t is stated that a
substitute has teen practically agreed upon
by the senate committee on finance and that
final action will be taken upon it on Tues
day next The substitute fixes the maxi
mum surplus at Sl35, 000, 900 and the mini
imum at sllv, 900, 900 and gives the secre-
tary of the treasury the discretion of in
vestment of the $4,000 90 between the
minimum and maximum figures. This it is
believed will he reported by the committee
on Tuesday with recomr1endatisn that it

Republican senators say that it comes
with i'll grace for Democrats 10 ask them to
pass law compelling Democratic seere
tary of the treasury to execute an authority
already given him, that for many years
there has teen law on the statutes provid-
ing that the secretary of the treasury may
reduce the surplus at his discretion to 500,
10000, that if the present secretary OF the
treasury does not comply with the wishes
OF his party in carrying out this proyifion,
the Democrats would do what more became
them-to petition for his retirement and the
selection OF a successor who would reduce
the surplus TO what they think it should be,
As body the Rep blicans oppose the
resolution and the substitute: yet it is con-
coded that the substitute will be adopted.
At the same time Republicans express belief
that the Democrats in the house will not
agree to the substitute. and believe that it
will, if passed, be pending in conference
when adj iournment of congress is reached.

themselves that tariff on all manufac,

Trouble Among Pennsylvania Coal Min

WoRessrEH, Mass, July &c. District
assembly No -. knights Of Labor, is now
in session here. onn thousand delegates
representing 400 local assemblies, with a
membership of su,0Do, are in attendance
The meeting is a most important one in sew
eral respecta II has been understood ever
since the special session at Cleveland that
at this convention the men who have an
tagonized Powderlys policy clique
that is trying to create discussion with the
trade union cry-would attempt to carry
things with high hand, and send to Rich
mond delegation pledged to do certain
things that the general master work
man very much dislikes The leaders
of the anti Powderly faction are Carlton
Foster, and George T. Mcneil Ex-District
Master Workman Howes and Charles Litch-
man lead the Powderly forces.
The contention in the convention appears
to have been quite spirited. Occasionally
indeed, bad temper was displayed but
great efforts we're made to effect compro-
misses and to preserve harmony. The battle
was sharp sometimes, and the results in
doubt, but ultimately the Powderly forces
gained complete control, and only gave their
rivals such offices or recognition as would
keep them in fairly good humor. Howes,
Mcneil, Litchman, and Carlton,
with sixty eight others-a majority Of
whom are friendly TO Powderly-were
elected delegates to the general convention
IitchmaA was made master workman and
Senator Bob Howard of Fall River,
worthy foreman The old executive board
was re elected The fowierly men, how
ever, showed their strength and at the same
time wreaked their vengeance by declining
to elect George T. Mcneil to the secre-
tary-treasurersh,p uf the district The
position Is worth 81 20 a year The new
secretary is Mr. Henry T. Mason, of
Georgetown. Charges are pending against
MCNEIL
Although the trade union question is
made the bone of contention, there is every
reason to believe that the rivalries, ambi.
tions. and jealousies of prominent members
are at bottom the real cause of the trouble.
Carlton and Foster are said to be the mere
instruments of George T. Mcneil Nc
Neill is good speaker, forcible writer,
and veteran in the labor cause lie
really cant understand why he does
not occupy very prominent position,
and seems determined to get there
if he can. The truth is, however, that
he is known TO he erratic, and that in ma
tional conventions and elsewhere he has dis
gusted delegates by his dictatoriai airs
Carlton was once upon u time at the bead OF
district a. lie was capable officer, and
was well liked Since Mcneil has taken
him under his wing, however he has aban
donei and betrayed Mr.. Howes and the
other good friends who stool by him in the
hour of need

iourning the conN entlon will divide No 80
