LAMAR WANTS iIIM BOUNCED.
Pension Commissioncr Black May Do Exile
IA Auaintn .f

Pension Commissioner Black May be Exiled
to Austria. ..r.
WASHINGTON, D. O., August SIT has
been known for some time that the rela'
tions between Commissioner OF Pensions
Black and Secretary Lamar have been iar
from cordial, and that an open breach
might be expected at any time. 1t ii
learned, upon what seems TO be the best
Of authority, that the Secretary Of the In.
terror asked the President some time ago
10 provide for General Black elsewhere, In
order that the official harmony OF the
Interior Department may continue. The
President Ia said TO have expressed
his willingness TO do this, provided Gen.
eral Black would acquiesce. Before leav.
ing for California consultation was. held
and II Ia understood that an arrangement
was perfected, whereby Black Is to be sent
as minister 10 Austria, which position II
now vacant, while Ex-Governor Click is
To be made Commissioner Of Pensions.
The fact that Mr.. Click was not q soldier,
however, may induce the President 10
change his plans, as he has thus far given
the principal places In the Pension Office
To ex.soldiers az far as possible. There Ia
every reason 10 believe that General
Black has been rendered tho Austrian
mission, and those In the confidence oi
Governor Click assert that considerable
correspondence has passed between him
and the Secretary OF the InteTior relative
10 tho pension Comnissionership.

perilous feat being successfully accom-,

were William Potts and George Hazlitt
two coopers, who were employed in the

initial trip about three weeks ago. The
barrel was ten feet long, conical in form,
and built OF the best locust slaves, It was
supplied with u keel rudder, acrew wheel
and a turret with glass covered peep holes.
About 800 pounds OF sand ballast kept Il

men lay back 10 back while passing

TIE CENTRAL LABOR UNION

over the CIgnr Makers.

or New York City hns n Lively Discussion
overt the Clgnr Makers.
NEw YoRK, August S.-The last regular
meeting Of the Central Labor Union under
Its exiatiug System, held this afternoon at
Clarendon hall, was lively. An unusually
large number Of delegates wero present.
The chief question was that of differences
between the Knights OF Labor and the
Progressive Cigar Makers Union, and the
position the Central Union should take
regarding them.
A week ago the latter body passed q
resolution expressing sympathy with the
Progressives. II was the intention OF the
Knights in the body 10 change their record
to-day. The Unionists began the battle,
however. The German ireaco painters
handed in communication advising that
the Central Union should render assist.
anCe, moral and financial, to the cigar
makers. There was an excited discussion,
and the communication was finally laid
upon the table by a vote Of 1873 to 6S.
This Is said 10 have been one OF the
largest ballots ever taken In the union.
The Knights became very enthusiastic,
and cheered like wild men. A motion to
reconsider tho resolution Of sympathy was
lost for want OF two.thirds vote.
During the discussion members worked
themselves up to almost white heat. Sev.
eral ofathen representing opposing fac.
tions came TO blowa, aud It looked Gt one
time 90 though general riot would occur.

whom he designated as "Windy" Wilson,
with both feet; and declared that "Windy"

Stand-A Surprise,

OHIcAao, August There was smother
crush OF spectators present at the resump'
tion Of the trial Of the Anarchists before
Judge Gray to-day, Samuel Fieldeu was
called to the stand again and questioned
by Mr., Fistsr, Of the defense.
"How long" he asked, shave you be-
lieved in overturniug the present form oil
Government by iorCe2" ~ do net know
as have ever believed in changing the
present Government by force. ! lhaVe be-
lleved that in the nature Of things the
Government would have to be changed by
force"
He said he had made many speeches,
but not always Of SoCiallstic and AuarCh-
istiC tendency, and that he had 81 worth
Of stock in the Alarm.
On REORGANIZATION he declared that in
his speech he said that Washington, JetTer-
son and John Brown had occupied the
same position toward abuses Of govern
ment that the Socialists did toward the
present soCial system, In urging working
men TO organize he only contemplated
that they would be able by these means
to obtain greater share oil the products
OF the country a more even division OF
the fruits Of labor, He had no knowledge
that any immediate violence would be en-
ployed, He had no intimation that q dyna-
mite bomb would be thrown.
At the afternoon session Joseph Bach,
8 Socialist and director Of the Arbeitsr
Zeilung, testified that Schwab was not at
the HaymRrket meeting, s. T, Ingham
testified that he was at the Haymarket
meeting. lie saw Fitlden Alight from the
wagon and heard the bomb explode. He
believed Fielden did not do any shooting
and thought he LETT the vicinity as
rapidly as he could. He noticed that the
firing all seemed to come from the police,
The witness produced the circular which
he swore was handed him on the street,
1t was one OF those from which the words
"Workingmen, arm yourselves aud ap'
pear in force ~ had been omitted. This is
the only circular OF that kind that has
been presented in evidence by the de.
fense, which has been preserved since the
Haymarket riot by witness present at
the meeting.
The point was surprise to the State
and to everyone else, and was explained
in the Cross-examination conducted by
Mr.. Ingham. Tho witness contradioted
himself on one or two immaterial points
relating to the succession OF speakers at
the Haymsrket, etc, but in the main his
story seemed 10 be told simply and hon.
estly. Ono or two more witnesses were
examined, but their testimony was imma-
terial, and the court adjourned till
Monday.
