the mule in the middle of the lot and

mule began TO buck and dance at tho
same time. a cloud of dust envcloped
him and his rider, and unearthly noises
came from the midst of the dust cloud.
When the cloud of dust cleared awav
the mule was quietly eating out of tho
trough in his stall. and one of tho
negro's knit suspenders was wrapped
tightly around his left hind leg. No

GENERAL NOTES.

The London Times, speaking of the
Cutting ease, says: The chief difficulty
in the way of a settlement of the matter
lies in Cuttings appeal to the angry
passions OF the Texans and the desire
of the dormant raider on both sides of
the frontier for an outbreak which
would result in the restoration of con-
traband trade. President Diaz of Mex
lco can have no wish for n collision
with his powerful ncighbor, and he
must be well aware that there are enc
mics of Mexico on both sides of the
frontier who are clamoring for war.
Me'ico has been surprisingly reasona
BILE in dealing with Cutting, considering
the provocation he gave and although
Secretary Bayard has been too exact
ing, the action of the president and the
senate is all that could be desired In
that action lies the assuran ce of peace.

COMING CONVENTION
OF tho knights of Labor-some of the NIat
ters to be Considered,

OF the Knights of LabOr-sOmo of the Mat
ters to bo Considered.
PIrTsuuRdH, Pa, Sept. 2s.-Iu speaking
OF the coming General Assembly Of the
Knights Of Labor which meets at Rich
mond, Va, on October 4, Ex.Grnnd Sec.
retAry RID. Layton, Of this city, said to-
day that among the important questions
to be considered will be a change in the
basis OF representation. The convention
at Richmond will be attended by possibly
500 delegates who will represent 100000
members Of the order.
"An edort," hO said, twill be made to
establish basis so as tn prevent the meet.
ing OF such an uuwleldy mass as will be
present this year. At present the basis OF
representation Is one 10 one thousand
members or a fraction. The districts
should be represented in the ratio OF one
to three thousand members. The men,
bes would then be as well represented
and the business could be better and more
rapidly transacted than by the present
system.
Another important question that will
receive more favor than at any previous
convention will be the necessity OF organ
izing by States. At present the dlstrick
and the local assemblies throughout the
country throw an immense amount OF
work into the Office Of the General secre.
tary and Treasurer that could all be done
by giving the Master Workman OF each
State enlarged powers, and also making
him member OF the General Executive
Board
"That or something closely similar will
be adopted at the convention. The con-
vention must either decide upon that plan
or the General Executive Board must be
enlarged aud certain portions OF the work
laid out for each member OF the board, he
to attend to that territory directly.
''In regard to strikes, the membership
OF the order is being impressed with the
idea that arbitration must be their key.
note, not only In theory but In practice.
"Powdorly will be the General Master
Workman as long as ho wants and he will
accept the office again. The Home club
will plead not guilty to the charges made
against 1t. They have voted against Pow.
derly but whether they will continue to
do 80 Is q question. From correspond.
ence with Chicago members Of the Knights
OF Labor l am led to believe that tho
question Of the Anarchistg who have been
sentenced TO be hanged will DO brought
before the convention by the delegation
from that city.
II will be asked that the convention in.
qnire into the justness Of the sentences.
These Anarchists will have plenty Of
friends In the convention, and their case
will be advocated by men who do mot be-
lieve in dynamite. An effort will be
made to get an expression OF sentiment In
favor OF these men,"
