ATypical American.

SAN Francisco, December 2.-The
Cal Cindependent), says: General Logan
was regarded as a typical American; his
was a strong, positive character, fearless of
consequences and honest of purpose. Both
political friends and opponents knew where
to find him when wanted. In later years
he has been regarded as the choice OF the
wing of the party more inclined to keep
the Southern question alive in politics" ."
The Examiner, the Democratic organ and
strong prO-SOuthern in its sympathies,
takes the ground that the death of Logan
leaves the political situation unchanged, as
the sentiment of which he was the expo
nent is dead and another Democratic vic
tory is almost an assured fact in national
politics.

READY FOR REVOLT.
Powderly May Refuse to Call Special
Session OF the General Assembly.

Powderly May Refuse to Call a Special
Session OF the General Assembly.
NEW YORK, December 27.-The Tribune
to-day says: Organized labor seems to be
in a bad tangle which grows worse in
stead of better. The dissatisfaction of the
Knights of Labor is growing more wide
spread, and some members Of the order are
afraid that the present difficulty can only
result in spite. There seems to be little
doubt that the legal requirements for
call for a special session of the General
Assembly will be fulfilled in short time
or that the call will be signed by District
Assemblies in at least half dozen States,
perhaps twice that many. Among the
dissatisfied element, however, the feeling
is that no matter if the call is made out
according to the constitution there is no
certainty that the session will be held. A
prominent knight says:
Zone of the principal things against
which we protest is the assumption of die
tatOrship by the General Executive Board
and their evident intention to override the
constitution, whenever it conflicts with
their own ideas If Mr.. Powderly should
refuse to call the special session what
could we do? The General Worthy Fore
man, the next highest officer, would not
take any action. General Secretary Litch-
man certainly would not, nor would the
Executive Board, for with the eX
ception of Barry they are in accord with
P0wderly. Our only remedy would be to
call special session ourselves and then all
who attended it would be in open revolt
and would be either expelled or suspended.
This would mean a split, and whether or
not we are prepared for this ! am not able
to say, but it may come TO that | should
be exceedingly sorry to see it, but if the
order is to continue to be of any use to the
labor movement, something must be done
pretty SOON"
The same opinion was expressed by many
other Knights. Even some of the men,
bers of District 40, the leaders of which are
in thorough accord with the general officers,
show signs of a disposition to kick over the
traces, and only the iron discipline main
tanned by T. i. Mcguire the former Master
Executive Board, keeps the dissatisfaction
from being shown. The local fight between
the Knights and the local unions grows in
bitterness, and the time is not far off when
open warfare will be proclaimed. The
action of the Trades Unions in
Columbus in the formation of the
American Federation of Labor has encour-
aged the Trades Unions. 1t is said on
good authority that J. II. Cassidy, one of
the most prominent members Of the Amer
lean Society of Carpenters and Joiners,
announced publicly at the Central Labor
Union yesterday, that he intended ito de-
clare war to the knife against the Knights
of Labor The Knights show no dispo-
sition to shirk the fight and if they and
the unions do not find some common
ground on which they can stand, the
chances are that no strikes will be won by
the carpenters for some time, for the
Knights will take the places of the strik-
ing trades unionists, and the unionists the
places of the Knights when they strike.

Mourned by the Whole People.

CHICAGO, December 27.-The Herald
says: THE suddenness of the stroke, as
the result of which the name of John A.
Logan must now be inscribed with those
of the mighty company of conspicuous
Americans who have recently been called
from earth, adds a shock TO the wide
spread feeling Of sorrow which the an
nouncement of his death will cause
throughout the country. His lusty vigor
and apparent youthfulness had disarmed
the apprehension of his friends, and long
life was thought to be assured to him. He
passes away in his prime, and his unex-
pected demise will be sincerely mourned
by the people without respect of party"

4 List of Manufacturing Industries Not
Represented Here.
Ofall the plans yet devised for placing
the numerous manufacturing and CONNER
cial advantages of Wheeling before the
people of the country, hest calculated to
prove an advantage to this city, none has
appeared to be so practical as the scheme
under contemplation by our enterprising
publisher, Mr.. W. L. Callin. The gentle
man is now engaged in compiling the ad-
dresses of all the leading firms engaged in
business in the various cities of the United
States, whose businesses are not represent
ed in Wheeling, and which would un-
doubtedly prove paying investments here.
Mr.. Calm expects TO have his list
complete preparatory to publishing the
Chamber of Commerce Statistical Report,
showing the manufacturing advantages OF
this city, etc, in a neat pamphlet form,
early the coming spring.
II work of this nature should be pub
lished within the next few months id adj
vance Of the spring trade, showing up the
advantages of the city from manufacture
ing and commercial standpoint, the numer-
ous eligible manufacturing sites, the cheap
ness of fuel, the facilities for shipment,
both by river and rail, and many other
points in its favor, and then distributed
in the manner above specified, it would
doubtless result in n vast amount Of fbeneiit
to this city, and Mr.. Calm is not only
well qualified for the work, but he is in
possession of many other advantages be-
sides, having directories on hand of al
most every city in the United States

but not seriously. Their names are not

MILE RHEA.

Her Coming Engagement at the Opera
House.
The coming engagement of this superb
artistic, at the Opera House, next Friday
and Saturday, will undoubtedly be mag
nifcent success, just as it deserves to be,
for Mile Rhea will offer theatre goers one
of the finest treats of the dramatic season.
She will be seen in three new plays, works
in which she has created a more decided
sensation than anything she has yet pres
ented in America. The opening perform
ance on Friday evening will consist Of
"The Country Girl" a comedy which was
great hit at Daily's New York Theatre
last season, and also in London. Mile
Rhea in this comedy is said by critics to
be we'll nigh inimitable, and in her boys
costume Of the second act is described as
positively bewitching. Friday evening will
have additional interest from the fact that
an elegant silver PLAGUE, with head of
Mile Rhea engraved on it. will be
presented to each lady in the audience
At the New Years matinee Fairy Fin
gers" will be given. In this play the &C
tress achieved her first pronounced Euro
pean success. The toilettes to be worn in
it are most elaborate In the third act,
the scene Of which represents the interior
of a fashionable dress making establish
ment in Paris, a number of wire dummies
will be placed on the stage, each one
draped with magnificent costume from
Rhea's extensive wardrobe. The engage
ment will close on Saturday evening with
an elaborate production of THE Widow, "
comedy which has created an immense
sensation, the greatest probably, of any
work yet brought out by Mile Rhea in
America. The dresses to be worn in il are
beyond criticism, those used by the star
having been designed and made by Worth,
the famous man dress-maker of Paris.

A Picturesque Character.

ST. LOUIS, December 27.-The RepubH-
can says: when John A. Logan died yes
terday the Republican party lost its most
aggressive partisan and the most pictur-
esque character among its prominent pub
lie men. He is the very last of the men
which the events of the war made a Re-
publican leader, and with his death the
martial in politics loses half its strength.
General Logan had no traits that were not
prominent, he was incapable of conceal
ment, so frank was he in the expression of
his feelings. If he was hearty and unre-
lenting In his hates. he was warm and gen.
erous in his friendships. The total absence
of anything like aristocratic pretensions
gave him elements of leadership where he
might otherwise have failed"

The first tender of burial place was
received yesterday from the authoities at
Springfield who rendered choice of
placesin that city, one of them being the
cemetery, in which Lincoln is inferred.
Then came tenders from places in
Southern Illinois, the neighborhOod
of LOgan's earlier home and from Chicago,
the home of his later years. During to-
day urgent representations Of the
claims of Chicago have been
coming from various organizations
of that city, and from influential personal
friends There is reason to believe that
if Chicago makes definite and season
able tender of a burial place in
that city it will be accepted. Eugene
PedOn and Miss SophieS. Verdi have taken
a plaster cast of the features of General
Logan.
Congressman Hit, of Illinois, and Brown,
of Pennsylvania, are to remain at the Lo-
gan mansion, all night.
