ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL


RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 6.-The Knights OF
Labor met promptly at 9 o'clock this
morning. There still remained to be
settled the question of seating eight or ten
delegates, whose cases the Committee on
Credentials had referred TO the convention
Powderly and all the leading members re-
fused to say whether these eight or ten
men are delegates from Brooklyn'f
Montauk Prospective Assembly OF
not. The Committee ON Credentials hest
tate. il is believed, to assume the response
bility OF deciding the matter and throw
the burden upon the convention itself
They were further prompted to such
action, il is said, by assertions made by
some that the committee was prejudicec
against the Brooklyn men. Throughout
the city to-day the principal topic OF dis
| cussion was the admission last night of the
colored delegate, Farrell, TO a seat in the
orchestra circle in the Academy OF Music
This section Of the auditorium in the
Richmond Theater has been hitherto
strictly guarded from the intrusion OF al
persons OF this race. The general feeling
among Virginians here ia one OF bitter re-
sentiment, and they regard the delegates
from District No. 40 with anything bui
friendly feelings. 1t is said that the ma
jority Of the local Knights are much pro-
voked al this action Of their visiting
brothers, and II ia reported that q few
Knights who live here have declared their
intention of abandoning the order and
joining the law and labor league, organ
ized bore in sworn opposition to the
Knights.
| LATERAL noon a recess was taken
until 2 O'Clock. Powderly announced t6
the representatives of the press that he
had nothing to communicate TO them
| Some secret business has been transacted
but of course he could not say as to itt
| nature. The morning session was mainly
| devoted, ne said, to the consideration O.
| the reports of the COMMITTEE on Gre
| dentials. which have not been finally acted
| upon. The delegates are unusually reti
cent, and such statements as can bt
| elected by inquiry are contradictory. l
10 safe to say, however, that whatever
action has been taken by the C~redentiali
| Committee in the case of District No. As
Brooklyn delegates IL unfavorable to thu
latter. The feeling Of majority OF thu
1 delegates outside of New York ia in favol
| Of Brooklyn. II now seems possible tina
| the third days session may end with th'
| convention still u~norganized.
