the locked out cotton workers at Augusta
Ga, couriers and tanners at Salem and Pea
body, Mass, and the journeymen plumbers
of New York city. The General Assembly

propriated for their relief. 1t was resolved
that the sum of $4,000 should be devoted to
this person, $4,000 in each of the cases con-
sideTed and that further sums be sent as

tel last night with 10 or 16 colored delegates

colored assemblies of K. of L.. of Virginia.
Florida, Mississippi and other Southern

ored people and their relation to the white

er. The statistics are to comprise. every
treatment they receive from their employers,
their wages, cost of living, ETC. 1t is pro-
posed to learn whether they receive the full
liberty and the rights to which they are en-
tilted.

in balloting for members of the general ex-
ecutive board. j. W. Hayes and w. IL.
Bailey were elected.
A recess was taken from IL until o'clock
when balloting for the remaining.members OF
the bord will be begun.
Mr. Powderly said in speaking of the con-
ference and its object the question. OF social
quality is not one of the objects of the bu-
reau. rs object is to stimulate the colored
people to work for their own elevation; The
delegates he met were bright, intelligent
men who seemed well fitted to aim in i'm
proving.the condition of their race.
1t was decided to elect chairman and sec
retary and have assistants in each of the
Southern States.
immediately after the General Assembly
was called to order at 9 o'clock this morn
ing the work of balloting for members of the

special to the PRESS received from
Calais early last evening says:
The telegraph and telephone Offices are
burned and communication with Eastport is
suspended. The reflection on the sky at a
distance of thirty miles from here indicated
that the fire is raging with increased fury.
and it is the feeling that the main part of
Eastport will be destroyed. When the fire
started the tide was low and ebbing and as
the reservoirs were exhausted, the fire de-
partment having only two hand tubs was
impotent. The latest news is that the Pas
samaquoddy Hotel, Buxton livery stable,
and the telegraph offices were burned
A telegraph official has left Calais to re-
establish communication, and until that is
done nothing more can be learned.
Mr.. Sterling Dow of this city, has $4,000
insurance on goods in transit, belonging to
Wolff and Reising, and deposited on the In
ternational S. S. Company's, wharf. Mr.. j.
E. Dow has placed $12,50o on the sardine
factories. Messrs. Dow. Coffin & Libby
have the insurance on the International S. S.
Company's property, and Mr.. Coffin couldn't
tell last night how much it was, but thought
there was $4,000. Prentiss Loring has
81, 900 insurance in Eastport.
There was probably large amount of sar-
dimes in the warehouses waiting shipment
by the boat which was to leave yesterday
noon for Portland. These fish were sent to
Eastport from Lubec, and Robinson, and as
these factories make large shipments at this
season of the year by every steamer. they
have probably more losses amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars. The estate of Shaw
Bros, the tanners, had large amount of
leather slowed in Eastport warehouses, and
they have no doubt lost heavily.
There will be general regret that the Inter
national Steamship line has met with a
heavy loss, coming as it does after their mis-
fortunes of last year. With its usual push
and energy this company will no doubt soon
repair its loss

cattlemen Meet With Large Losses.

WALLA WALLA, W. T., Oct. 14.-Cattle-
men just returned from Northern Montana,
state that the Neidringhans drive of cattle
from this country to British Columbia has
proven disastrous failure to the st. Louis
cattle syndicate, of which Neidringhans is a
prominent member. For time the drive,
consisting of forty thousand head of cattle,
pr0spered finely, but as an unusually dry
season in Montana progressed and grass be-
came scarcer and streams of water fewer,
the stock began to weaken, finally dying by
hundreds. Herders even suffered great pri-
vation for want of wa er, and so desperate
did the situation become when nearing the
British line, that Mr.. Neidridghams ordered
the drive abandoned, and the herders to
reach the Northern Pacific railroad as best
they could. The scene about the drive was
a most pitiable one Cattle were reduced to
skin and bones, and were so weak from fa-
tigue and want of nourishment that they
would stand still and then fall in their tracks
to die. The cold, dry, piercing wind which
was sweeping over the country did much to
complicate the situation. Cattlcmen are of
the opinion that the syndicate will not have
200 head of stock next spring out of the i'm
mense herd driven from the States. Their
loss in that case will be $25O,o00.
