moth picnic of the knights of Labor of
Scranton and Lackawanna counties, was
held at Luzerne grove. Over 1000 people
were present. The chief feature of the day
was an address by Master Workman Pow
derly. In his remarks he bitterly denounced
the riots and violence carried on in the name
OF the Knights of Labor He said chat such
proceedings were utterly roLAlgnant to all
true knights, and would never be sanctioned
or tolerated by the order He further said:
II am not now and never was a candidate
for political office. would not accept the
highest office in the United States if such
were offered me.
"There is one great growing evil in this
country" he further said, "and that is the
land question. Congress should pass a law
forbidding any man to own an acre of ground
in this country unless he is an American citi-
zen, or intends to become one Let your
duty this fall be to vote for men who will
pass such law. The foreign land sharks
must go. would also have you, as men,
bers of great labor organization, to drop
all class and religious issues, and act in one
common brotherhood. The industries of the
country are not yet prepared for an eight
hour movement, and the Knights Of Labor
will not be found in sympathy with the Chi
cago Anarchists. Anarchy is destructive of
everything that is good, and men who de-
stroy life and property with the torpedo and
dynamite are the worst kind of enemies to

ried call, 1t was attended by about 200 Of
the most prominent Democrats in the city.
Mr.. William Henderson, a relative of the
late Governor Hendricks, made speech, in

in defeating young English for the nomina-
ton two years ago, and that the question to
be decided was weather the Englishs, father
and son, should rule the Democrat party.
Resolutions were adopted declaring the action
of the state central committee usurpation
and null and void. Mr.. Bynum made a red
hot speech, in which he announced his deter

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-A reporter for the
United Press found a couple of the jurors
after they had made their escape from tho
building, and questioned them regarding
their deliberations and differences. When
they retired to the jury room the first thing
they agreed on was to keep their work in the
jury room, except as regarded general in
formation which they refused to divulge, but
which they considered competent A thor
ough discussion of the contested points in the
testimony was gone into as well as all the
phases of the case which the jury had be-
come acquainted with during their long
siege There were some differences at first,
but in the main the jurors were agreed upon
the disposition Of the prisoners. What their
difference were they will not tell. They
then proceeded to ballot on each Of the pris-
oners separately. The result of the first bal
lot, or any of them, or how many it took be-
fore the verdict was reached is a matter on
which they will not give information. They
concluded their work and had their verdict
ready at 1880 last evening, before they left
the jury room, for supper
1--WE had plenty of time for thinking the
matter over during the trial, as the evidence
was voluminous, the arguments exhaustive"
said one of the jurors, "and we had come to
look on the matter dispassionately, There
was no feeling in the matter, for or against
the prisoners. We calmly reviewed the evil
dence and found the verdict accordingly, We
didn't consider that IT, claim that the
thrower of the bomb act, d Independently Of
the leaders was reasonable enough to admit
Of judicial doubt, and even if he was acting
independently, 1t was the teaching and the
preaching of Spies and his followers that
caused him to throw it. In any event the
murder was the outgrowth of the in1am-
matory exhortations Of the Anarchists.

: CmcAGo Aug. 25.-The police are very
positive that the Anarchists had some deeply

been concocted by the condemned men and
conveyed by their relatives to the Anarchists
who were not in Jail. When they filed into
the court room for the last time on Friday
morning. Parsons took red silk handker-
chief which had been given him by Mrs.
Parsons the day previous out of his hat, and
waved it at the crowd in the street. He also
had white handkerchief that morning, and
believe that if the verdict had been all
right he would have used it for signal.
The red signal was sign for something

break if there had been enough Of his friends
in the big crowd"
"That reminds me,n said another officer,
"that Mrs, Parsons, for hour before the
verdict was brought in, arose at least six
times from her seat and went to the window.
Then gazing at the crowd, as if to size it up,
she would return to her seat. at once be-

The FaaIinp In London.

LONDON, Aug 25-Russia has obtained
speedy revenge for the harsh language ad-
dressed to her by the British foreign office
when she closed the port Of Batoum by
bringing about the coup d'etat in Bulgaria,
which was managed in Russia's most APP
proved fashion. Gold and promises were
lavishly used right and left to corrupt the
adherents Of Prince Alexander, and the few
of those who remained steadfast in their 10y
atty to the prince, were carefully sent away,
leaving the prince powerless to resist the re-
volt. Thus the prince of Bulgaria pays the
penalty of thwarting the wishes Of the czar
allying himself with England, and trying to
run his little government alone.
The czar has had feeling Of the fiercest
kind against Prince Alexander since the lat
ter's previous revolt He has steadily refused
to answer the princes personal appeals, and
finally returned his letter unopened, declar-
ing he would receive no further communica-
tions from him. The feeling in England gen.
orally is that Of sympathy with Prince Alex
ander, it being held that man who fought
so bravely, and had done so much for Bull
garia and the Bulgarians, deserved better
fate; but the greatest anxiety now is to know
whether he is safe or not
A telegram was sent to Prince Henry, Of
Battenburg who is at Balmoral, asking him
whether he had received any commune alton
from Prince Alexander, and received this re-
ply: "I don't know where my brother is. l
have not heard from him yet"
LATER-A dispatch from Bucharest says
that Prince Alexander is prisoner on board
Of yacht, which was signaled near Silisto-
ria, on the Danube.

knights of Labor News,

DETROIT, Aug. 21.-There was big breeze
kicked up in labor circles by the action Of
the state assembly of Knights of Labor
changing the time for holding the state as
sembly from September to August 25. The
change was made on request of Mr.. Pow
derly, who wishes to have as many delegates
as possible in the general assembly at Rich
mond, Va, to counteract the influence of the
home club of New York. The change in
date is necessary to have the delegates chosen
the required forty days prior to the session Of
the general assembly. Joseph A. Labadie, a
prominent knight, claims that the change Is
unconstitutional. A majority Of the order
in Michigan favors Powderly, however, and
the action will probably be sustained

United States But with Texas
MONTEREY, Mex, Aug. 21.-The recent
arrival of Col Pedro Vallez bearing conf
Dental letters from President Diaz, to the
military governor of this state, Gen. Reyes,
causes serious comment in official circles It
is learned from a prominent state official,
whose name cannot be made public, that
definite Instructions have been issued as to
the course to be pursued by Gen. Reyes in
case the warlike Texans should precipitate
a conflict on the border before the general
governments conclude diplomatic corre-
spondence in the cutting case.
Every effort is being made to quickly con-
centrate the frontier troops wherever they
may be needed. Large quantities of amuni-
tion have already been forwarded to availa-
BILE points The government telegraph lines,
heretofore sadly neglected and in some places
entirely abandoned, are now being rapidly
repaired. Public feeling is not in favor of a
war with the United States, nor is it expected
that war will ensue, but brush with the
Texans would be hailed with enthusiasm, and
the Texans may rest assured of cordial re-
ception whenever they make their promised
call

Priests Not Allow ca to Hold once.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 21.-The Rev.
Father O'Reilly, treasurer of the National
League of America, has, it is said, the alter
native of resigning his treasurership or his
priesthood, and will then have a little score
to settle with his bishop for disobedience. A
few days ago Bishop Borgess. summoned a
synod of his priests to meet just across the
Detroit river, in Sandwich. All were noti-
fed that none could he excused from attend
ance. Nevertheless, Father O'Reilly deter
mined to attend the Chicago convention, and
he was not at the synod All other priests in
the diocese were present, and they confirmed
an edict of the bishop forbidding any priest
in the diocese from holding any public office
aside from his priesthood
