In an interview in the Herald regarding
| the convention of the Knights of Labor at
Richmond, Mr.. POWderly says he shall go
/ there fully etermlned that no member of
/ other organizations socialist or ANARCHIST,
/ shall use the knights of Labor to accomp-
/ fish their purpose. He says the fact that
these cranks have no influence in the
\ Knights of Labor is clearly shown by the
action Of the latter when the former wished
| a general strike for eight hours the first of
I May. He advised the knights to refuse to
strike for that purpose and not one failed TO
obey the advise. The anarchists never had
| and never could have any influence with the
I Knights, who aim at the maintenance
I of the law and order. Mr.. POWderly said
/ further that he thought it necessary for the
convention to take definite action regarding
I strikes.

Information received at Portland brings
the startling news of the schooner Henry
Woodruff. Some time ago the Woodruff, a
very large three masted schooner, was fitted
out for bank fishing. Soon after she ar
rived little French schooner with full
supply of liquor put in an appearance, ana
was visited by the crew of the other schooner
and they returned to the vessel badly intoZl-
Gated nghuug crazy with 1ull supply or
liquor besides. They were at once involved
IN a row with the captain, refusing to do
their duty. Finally they jumped on the
captain to throw him overheard. The cap
tain made a good resistance and shot one
man dead, and MORALLY wounded two 9th
ers, so it Is reported. The crew drove the
captain below and battened down the
matches and then made sail headed for the
coast Of Cape Race and it is believed they
went down.
The Texas democratic convention met at
Galveston. The platform uphOlds the ad-
minlstratiOn of the presidents gives pledges
that expenditures shall be confined within
revenue; favOFs the best system of education

way property by foreign companies Op-
poses the consolidation of competing or

1t can now be authoritatiyely stated that
Mr. SedgWick goes to PasO del EOEte and
Chihuahua by request Of Secretary Bayard,
and II connection with the Cutting case.
His mission is in no sense Of a diplomatic
nature, but simply to secure for the depart
ment fuller information with regard TO the
case. The records OF Mexican courts are not
published as IN this country, and the usual
diplomatic channels through which they
would be naturally sought would be round
about and slow, owing to the distance be
tween the scene of the trial and the capital.
. General SedgWick, in addition to receiving
the records, will look up all the facts in the
case and study its legal features, reporting
fully, and as early as possible TO the score
tary. No further steps are contemplated by
the department until General SsugW1ck shall
have made his report. This journey may be
extended to the city Of Mexico, but this
point Is left for future determination.
1t is reported at the state department. that
there are no fresh Developments in the Cut
ting case and that the attitude of this gov
eminent is not changed in any respect. This
case i the fruit OF the natural friction OF
antagOnism between the system of govern
ment OF the TWO people, who differ radically
IN character and custom The position We
have taken is based upon the assumption
that all material facts and legal features of
the case as they have been set forth in the
cOrr5sp ondence and reports already made
public; but IN the matter involving possible
warfare, il is held TO be incumbent upon Us
to make sure that there is nothing OF impOr~
lance beyond this official information al
