the most interested in the subject us too

for its omissions The free; traders are not

consider that he,vary specific recommends
.Hon:of the secretary of the treasury us to;
free wool and free raw material compensate
for the omissions of the president Columns
could be filled with statements of the
pretended Views of congressman on the
message, but the EXPRESSION of opinion for
the most part would be p%erfunctory. The
Recommendations of the secretary Of the
treasufy relative to wool and clothing are
acceptable to the free traders In Mr.. Morri@
sons following, but Mr.. Morrison Is much
displeased that the president should recon-
mend the passage of the Mexican treaty en-
abling act, and should even hint at more re-
ciprocal trade relations with the Spanish
West Indies, for Mr.. Morrison is wholly OPP
posed to reciprocity treaties in sny form,
and ~charaoterizes all such measures as piece

a BURGLAR CAPTURED.
A Violator of the Laws who Is Wanted
on Many Charges.

CHICAGO, July PA man who is charged
with the most successful series of burglaries
ever perpetrated in New England was arrest
ed last night in Chicago by Pinkerton's de-
tectives. His name is Charles lngle, alias
Grover Ingle, alias Charles Warren, and he
has the reputation of being one of the most
expert thieves in the country. His detection
and arrest in the present instance came about
through the efforts of Mayor Powell Of Now
port, Rhode Island, and Pinkerton's de-
tectives. Ingle belongs in Chicago aud his
alleged operations in New England began
rather more than two years ago. One OF his
most successful jobs in the vicinity of Boston
was the robbery of Ex-Governor Claims
house at Newton, where almost $4,000 worth
of jewelry was secured. In Newport, Rhode
Island, summer residents suffered very
severely. The cottage of Robert Lennox
Kennedy of New York was entered one
evening and $1,000 worth of jewelry belong
ing to his daughter was carried off. Plnker-
toms officers ascertained that the jewels had
been shipped to well known firm in Chi
tago, and after considerable hard work re-
covered the entire property. There were
three more big robberies at Newport that
season. John G. Hecksher of New York
lost $4, 900 from his cottage and others suf-
fered severely. In September of last year
the cottage of Admiral Baldwin was entered
and jewelry valued at $4,000 was carried
away. The valuables were subsequently dis
covered buried in the vicinity. On July
Admiral Baldwin was again the victim OF
burglarious raid and this time he lost $35
worth of silver. Thereupon Mayor Powell
at his own expense employed Pinkerton's
men to keep the city clear and to solve the
mystery Of the previous crimes. Pictures
of noted cracksmen were shown to the
people who had seen the supposed robber;
From about twenty others they all picked
that of Ingle as the thief He has been
arrested for the New England robberies.

MAIN &.
Knights of Labor Convention.

Especial to the Press.
BATH, July 27.-Delegates to the conven-
tion of the Knights of Labor have arrived
to the number of about 160 up to the middle
of this afternoon, and are in session in the
City Hall. 1t is stated that much important
business will come before the convention,
and in consequence, it is calculated the ses-
sions will continue all the week. 1t has been
given out that the convention has no politi-
cal significance, yet something relating to
State politics is sure to have been floating in
the air today. The delegates are quartered
at the Sagadahoc House, which uses for lodg-
ing purposes the rooms of the Bath Hotel
which has furnished apartments as left by
its recent occupant when closed to the pub
lie.
One, Sagadahoc Assembly, the largest in
the State has four delegates. The district
assembly comprises 153 local assemblies with
$4,000 members. To these are added the dis
trict officers and the executive committee
Over 200 delegates have already arrived.
Among the prominent knights in the city are
District Master Workman o. G. Phillips Of
Auburn. J. w. Harris, j. W. Kittridge, c..
I'll. Shawn. S. Bowie of the executive board.
The sensational report of dissatisfaction
with the executive board is claimed by the
knights to be entirely unfounded.
A prominent knight said today: Delegates
to this convention are the picked men of the
State. The report that they are going to
quarrel and wrangle over petty offices like
little children is absurd. There are several
women delegates present. They make the
best of members, earnest, faithful and en-
thusiastic. Many men in the history of the
order have turnedi traitors, but there is no
record as yet of woman traitor"
The convention was to have met at o'clk.,
but at that hour Russell Hall was not deem
ed of sufficient size and other quarters were
sought, which resulted in procuring City
Hall. 1t was nearly IL o'clock when DIS
trict Master Workman Phillips took the
chair and called the meeting to order. Inc
committee on credentials reported FOG dele
gates present. The roll of officers was then
called.
The forenoon session was occupied IN OF
ganization, and it is expected that put httle
important business will get before the con-
vention today. A knight said: some Nery
important business is to come before the con-
vention, which will greatly influence the Iu-
tury history of the State
A Fire at Auburn.
LEWISTON, July 27.-The building known
as the Crafts building in Auburn, occupied
by Moses Crafts, shoe manufacturer was
nearly destroyed by fire last night The
cause is unknown. The loss is Yarlously eS-
timated from $4,000 to $4,000. There was
a slight loss by water in the Kinsley build
ing adjoining. The Crafts building will be
rebuilt at once.

MR.. sQUIRE's MEN.
Seyenty-five of Them Apply for Work
Tuesday Morning.

Boston, Jnly 27.-Seven o'clock this morn
ing, the usual opening-up time at Squire's
establishment, found about 60 men waiting
outside the entrance in readiness to go to
work During the forenoon others arrived
at intervals and resumed their accustomed
places, so that at noon there were in the vi
cinity of sevent-hve men busy about the
premises That number included for the
most part non-members of the Knights of
Labor, bosses and few green hands. There
were, however, some of the Knights of La
Dor employees among Ithe lot, while it was
said in the Office that several others had
sent word that they would be on hand in the
morning. Mr.. Squire was in and about the
counting room all the morning, and attended
personally to the applicants presenting
themselves. Upon reSuming work each man
is required to sign the following agreement;
We, the undersigned, do hereby promise and
agree that in case of being reinstated in our FORM
position we will join in no strike while in the
employ of j. P. Squire & Co., and when we desire
to leave will give proper notice.
The establishment is still guarded ON all
sides by posse of Cambridge and SOmer-
vile police, although not the least indication
has so far been manifested that their services
will be needed. The market opposite the
office has been comparatively deserted since
the lockout. The men cengregate upon the
sidewalks and on corners, but are very or
derly and have caused no obstruction or
trouble as yet. There is a committee of &c
men, divided into 9 squads, appointed to pre-
vent as far as they may be able excessive
drinking and the barkeepers are said to be
obeying the wishes of that body. 1t is too
to judge of the temperate qualities of the
men. An open-air meeting tonight on the
foundry field is talked of, but no good au-
thority could be obtained for that statement.

VIOLENT sToRMs.
Buildings Rocked as if in an Earth
quake.
A Gloomy View Taken of the Crop
Situation in Dakota.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July GA Fort ASSN
iboine special says: A terrible storm here
yesterday blew the quartermasters store
down. Loss, $4,000. The buildings all
rocked as if in an earthquake.
A Hallock, Mimi, special estimates the
damages to grain by Saturdays hailstorm at
10000 bushels in the country tributary
to Argyll and 100000 bushels in the country
about Warren, together with as much oats
and barley.
A st. Thomas, Oak, special says 10000
acres of wheat in that section was destroyed
in the same storm. Refreshing rains are re-
ported from Southern Minnesota yesterday.
Major r. E. Flemming, one of the railroad
commissioners of Dakota, in an interview in
the Pioneer Press takes gloomy view of the
crop situation in Dakota. He says the storms
of Friday and Saturday nights in north Da-
kota destroyed about million and half
bushels of wheat. He places the total yield
of the territory at moi. more than 100000
bushels. Major Fleming says that thousands
of cattle and sheep will be brought from
Montana into Dakota this winter, as the
grass on the ranges has been entirely burnt
out. The agent of reaper company at Bis
marck told him he had sold over 80 machines
but would not deliver them, as the crops in
that section were not worth cutting.

IN DANCER OF LYNCHINC.
The Father of Mary HoIWeger Ac-
cuses RoIIa Russell of Numbering
Her

DAYTON, July 26.-The excitement at
Franklin over the terrible murder of Mary
Holweger on Thursday night increases hour
ly. The movements of Rolla Russell, arrest
ed on suspicion, on that night have been
accounted for with almost absolute certainty,
except for an interval of fifteen minutes. In
an interview with the prisoner in the pres
ence of officers today the girls father
charged Russell with numbering her. The
prisoner, with uplifted right arm, said he did
not do the deed.
.'Rolla, you killed my. child your con-
science tells you so,' the father said.
The prisoner, with blanched face, and
with his arm still uplifted, said, 81 did not
do it,"
The father became terribly agitated, and
started toward the prisoner, but was led
away, and the prisoner was returned to his
cell. The fathers belief in the guilt of Rus
sell has further excited the community, and
the greatest precautions are taken to prevent
the lynching of the prisoner. The County
Commissioners have offered a reward OF
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction OF the
murderer. A swarm of detectives are on the
ground. Suspicion rests upon others than
Russell, and startling disclosures may be
made within the next forty-eight hours.

sion.

HOUSE.
In the House Mr.. Willis of Kentucky,
from the conference committee on the river
and harbor appropriation bill, reported a
continued disagreement. He then offered a
resolution that the item making appropria-
ton for Portage Lake and Lake Superior
ship canal should be stricken from the
Senate amendment, and instructing the con-
ference accordingly. The resolution was
agreed to.

luton directing the confereeS to insist upon

ing for the improvement of the Mississippi
river from the head of the Passes to the
mouth of the Ohio river. He stated the
effect of this action would be to leave the
