WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 16.-Two men
named De Raimlonville, who lately arrived
from France to cattle ranch near CAL
gary, were victims on Saturday of three
highwaymen, who surprised and robbed
them at their camp on Elboy river. They
had just been making large purchases of
horses to stock the ranch. otherwise the
booty would have been large. On the
night of the robbery they had So, 800 in the
tent. Three masked men appeared on the
scene at an early hour and being challenged
said they were mounted police in search of
contraband whisky. The Frenchmen came
out when revolvers were placed at their
heads and they were requested to hold up
their hands. The did so, and the bogus po-
licemen bound them hand and foot to their
wagon, which was close at hand, and en-
tered the tent. The midnight visitors
smashed open the trunks with an axe and
ransacked their contents. They discovered
$500 package. but another containing
$4,000 they missed. The highwaymen then
retired, after which the ranchers went to
Calgary to deposit their remaining cash and
notify the police.

New YORK, Aug. 16.-The Herald this
morning prints a two-column interview
with Mr.. Powderly upon the coming con-
vention of the Knights of Labor to be held
at Richmond. Mr.. Powderly said:
1t will be an American congress in all that
the word implies, for, while our countries
have artificial boundaries which separate
them from each other, in our organization
there are
NO BARRIERS BETWEEN NATIONS
and N atioualstic. The convention will be de-
cidedy representative. Every man will
speak directly for his own constituency, and
every woman, too who has a right to do SO.
Men who belong to other labor organizatio rs,
not trades unions, but organizations of a
socialistic or anarchist tendency, have de-
clared they will make the Knights of Labor
the field of their operations. / shall go to the
convention at Richmond fully determined that
no member of any other organization shall
have voice in shaping or influencing the ac-
ton of the ORDER
Mr.. Powderly then said that he thought
it would be necessary for the convention to
take definite
ACTION IN REGARD TO STRIKES.
Whatever legislation is enacted will re-
late to the strike or the boycott. MI. Pow
derby was asked if his organization placed
more reliance in boycotts and strikes than
it did in the ballot. His reply was:
No, it does not. 1t believes in the judicious
use Of the ballot, and the discussions which
take place in our assemblies concerning the
laws of the country are in the direction Of
teaching the citizen his duty. The politics
OF parties or men are not discussed. The
merits of John Jones as a candidate Of one
party or another will not be discussed in our
assemblies, but the laws to be enacted by
John Jones, whether elected as Republican,
Democrat or otherwise, furnish food for dis
cussion. The
PARTIES OF THE PRESENT
day are on trial. The million men who are in
the Knights of Labor are to-day studying the
science of government They in turn will be
teachers of other millions, and if the parties
OF to-day do not heed the handwriting on the
wall and make American laws for the Ameri-
can people the millions so instructed can
form a party that will do it. There never
will be a political party called the Knights of
Labor, but members of the Knights of Labor
in such contingency as I have limited at
may some day cooperate with other thinking
men in forming a party that will keep the
country straight in the lines marked for it by
the founders of the reDublic

THE IOWA OUTLOOK.
Interesting Gossip From the Cor

Interesting Gossip From the Con.
yressiOnal Districts.
Special to the Globe.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 16.--Affairs with
the Des MONIES regency may be likened
unto the farmer, who, after a hard days
toll in the harvest field, awakes from a
dreamless sleep. He hears the dog barking
at the barn door and the horses heels beat
ing the devils tattoo on the weather board
ing Convinced that horse thief is trying
to make away with his favorite sorrel he
is further perturbed by ear-piercing
squeals out at the hog yard,
while from another direction comes clink-
clank advertising to him the wearsome
fact that his neighbours breachy
corn. Thus Mai. Anderson, who
against Mr. Hepburn, with every indication
of pulverizing the latter's majority of 2, 900
into minus quantity, is not content with
this, but has fairly and easily held by the
Republican majority in his county, who
at Saturdays convention Endorsed his can
didacv and selected delegation of Ander-
son men to the Republican state conven-
ton. In the Seventh district an elegant
deal is all but consummated that will give
Mai. Cenger infinite trouble and most
likely end in his defeat. w. L. Carpenter
of this city has been nominated by the
Knights of Labor. 1t is the expecta-
ton that to-morrOw'S Democratic
and Greenback conventions will
supplement the action of the
Knights of Labor. When it is remembered
that there are over 2, 900
KNIGHTS OF LABOR
in Polk county alone, half of them coal
miners, and indignant over the fate
of the Cossatt bill, it Is easy to
see that trouble is in store for the genial
major. The Second district affords the
Republicans no hoIe. Had the proposition
by the Republicans to indorse O'Meara, the
candidate of the Knights of Labor,
been consummated, there would have
been a reasonable chance to cut down
HAYES inevitable majority considerably.
But this did not suit the old times, and so
Gov. Kirkwood was hunted up
to stand as the representative of
straight Republicanism. Thursdays con-
yention will be very close with the
odds now slightly favoring the ex-governor.
The squabble seems certain to increase
HAYES majority. In the First district the
differences among the Democrats are more
than offset by Republican discord. The latter
folks are overburdened with a supply
of great men,, each of whom would make
the strongest nominee. Even ex-senator
Harlan snuffs the smoke of battle, and
State Senator Woolson is sorry he backed
out last spring. Halls prospects are bright
ening daily.

well known that Republicans and former
officials of this government are open to this
charge in the case now commanding the at
tention of our diplomats. The secretary
deeply regrets that there are men who claim
to be Americans and yet are guilty of such
conduct. He positively declares that he has
not in the slightest degree been intimidated

IRHSN REOTER s.
A Row at DungannOn.-The Situa-
ton i'm Belfast.

DUBLIN, Aug. 16.-At Dungannon to-
day bands of Nationalist paraded the
Protestant quarter of the town shouting
for home rule and cursing the queen. A
riot broke out and several persons were in
jured. The police had to force their way
between the Protestants and Catholics,
thus preventing desperate fight. One
Nationalist was arrested with a knife in
his hand A renewal of the rioting is
feared. Party feeling is intense. At Bel
fast the Catholic newspapers accuse the
Orangemen of commencing Mondays at
tack while the Protestant papers say the
Orangemen acted in self defense. The Lon
don Times again censures the Protestants of
Belfast for their refusal to submit to the
authorities. Referring to the report that
Lord Randolph Churchill is preparing an
Irish measure, the Times thinks he will
have
A LONG AND ARDUOUS TASK.
The nature of the local government pro-
posed must depend in some degree upon
the attitude of the Irish people and posi-
bly, upon the action of the Irish convention
at Chicago. But it is quite certain that
nothing like a statutory parliament will
enter into Lord Randolph Churchilrs
scheme, and that the development of county
government on an elective system will be
applied on the same principles to all parts
of the kingdom. A man named Jackson,
who was wounded in Sunday mornings
riot at Belfast, is dead. The other
wounded men progress favorably. There
was some stone-throwing last night but no
one was seriously injured. Public houses
are being closed and other precautions are
being taken. Scores of prisoners have
been sent to Klmartin Jail at Dublin to
await trial, the local jails all being full.
Archbishop Walsh's Views.
DUBLIN, Aug. 16.-ArchbiShOp Walsh.
in an interview, said he believed the land
purchase question would never be settled
except on Michael Davitt's naturalization
principles of just compensation to the actual
holder rather than on the principles of
Henry George. He commendS the scheme
of DR.. Dale, accepting MI. Gladstone's bill
as a minimum starting point for the eStab-
lishment of statutory parliament in Dub
lin and to leave it an open question with
the people of England, Wales and Scotland
to decide whether there shall be one, two
or three parliamentS. Archbishop Walsh
declared that the statement that the pope's
disapproval of the attitude of the Irish
cIeiSy to"aIoS VIC Naeioi"iioIe " do ioulueu
on malice. 1t was only necessary, he said,
to read the Moniteur de Rome and the
Osservatore Romano to see that the Irish
cause is safe with the Pope.
AT Belfast-Occasional shots were fired
throughout the day and evening. The men
from Queens Island, while marching home,
sung mo Home Rule for Ireland" par

dened the Catholics. The military in
charging the mob last evening bayoneted
Magistrate Burke, who was assisting the
wounded rioters. Burke was in plain
clothes, and consequently was taken to the
hospital.

The samoan Question.
BERLIN, Aug. 16. The Politisch
saws.

BERLIN, Aug. Is. The POlitische
Nachrichten says:
The three treaty powers agreed not to alter
the status quo. There can therefore be no
question of an establishment of German
protectorate over Samoa without the assent
of England and America. The change in the
consular staff of the three powers at Apia,
advocated by Germany and already set af1oat
by America, meets with obstacles owing to
the refusal of England to make change.
With a view to paving the way for a definite
settlement, the three powers. in conformity
with Germauy's proposal, have dispatched
special commissioners to Samoa. The fact
that they were not concerned in the late dis
putes affords guarantee of an impartial
report.
