CONTEST SETTLED.

The General Assembly OF the knights %
Labor Settle the Contested Cases.
RICHMOND. Va, Oct. 9.-It was under
stood yesterday morning that the committee
on credentials Of the Knights Of Labor had
completed consideration Of the case Of the
St Louis delegation and that its report
would be ready for presentation rs soon a.
the convention assembled. and it was ex-
pected !; would soon be disposed OF and
matters Of more Importance taken up. At
the close Of the morning session, however,
most OF the time had been Occu-
pied In discussing the report Of the commit
tee on credentials concerning the St Louis
cOntesting delegations. The question ut
issue was whether the delegates elected as
the meeting held ut seven o'clock In the
evening or at the subsequent meeting an
hour later were the regularly elected dele
gates and entitled to seats in the conven-
ton. The report presented to the conven.
ton and accepted by it was in favor Of the
delegates elected at the eight o'clock meet
ing.
At the afternoon session Mr.. POwderly's
address was finally read and the report Of
the committee appointed to investigate the
case of the ''home club Of New York was
made and adopted.
With regard to the nature of that report
Mr.. POwderly declined to furnish any iIl-
formation. Committees were appointed on
laws, appeals and grievances and upon the
state OF the order and special committee
upon distribution of resolutions. Other
business which came before the convention
was appropriately referred
A resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of a special committee to
take into consideration thOse parts of Mr..
POwderly's address which relate to the ed
ucatiOn and training of youth for the per-
fOrmance Of their duties as citizens.
Now THAT it Is known exactly who are
qualified delegates, it is found that the total
number entitled to seats in the convention
is 755, and the number present 10.
1t is understood from unofficial sources
that the report on the home club cases is
satisfactory to the members Of the club and
its friends.
Mr.. POwderly was asked last night il 1t
was true, as reported, that the assembly
yesterday appropriated $4,000 for the
relief OF tliOse left idle by the strikes
on the Southwestern railways. lie said it
was not; no appropriation had been maize
for them nor was any needed. The fund of
500. 200 raised for their relief had been dis
tributed and there was no suffering now. He
said that the report had also been circulated
that District 1Ol had been injured by the
strike, but the district had five delegates In
the convention, showing q membership of
5000, and a. q matter of fact had 5000
more members now than before the strike.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.
The Speaker laid before the House the re-
ply of the Postmaster General in response to
the resolution calling for information as to
whether the eight hour law is now applicable
to letter carriers. Referred. The Postmaster
General states there is no department regula-
tion prescribing the number of hours during
which letter carriers are required to work,
and that the eight hour law has not been
deemed applicable to letter carriers, as they
are not regarded as ''laborers, wOrkmen or
mechanics" The opinion that the law is not
applicable to letter carriers was, the Post
master General is informed, promulgated
from the department before his incumbency
of office, and no change has been directed
since.

committee on post offices and post roads on
