LONDON, November 24.-Russia is In
hardly less pitiable state than Bulgaria
at the present juncture. There is q deAciS
of one hundred million roubles in her g.
nances which Pan-Slavist Committees de-
clare to be . natural result Of the war Of
1877 and Russia's irritation against Bull
garia. 1t is the general opinion that every
head in Bulgaria has cost Russia 900
roubles. Although Bulgaria Is unsatisded
with her engagements, nevertheless Russia
is apparently anxious to rescue her from
insolvency, though doubtless with view
to ulterior profit Moscow merchants
offer to establish commercial stations in
Bulgaria, and the large hanks offer to sup
ply them with capital.
The additional national perpleIities
Of his empire have driven the Car into
state Of chronic nervous irritability. He
has threatened to expel several members
of his family for meddling with dynastic
affairs. The precarious state of the Care
witch's health increases his fathers un-
happiness. The physicians attending tho
Czarewitch consider his condition serious,
but do not dare to reveal their opinions.
They have suggested that he winter in
France, whittier the Czarina will prob
ably accompany him.

BLAINE'S DISCOURTESY.

Senator Edmunds Extends His Hand and
Blaine Turns his Back.
WASHINGTON, November 24.-Mr.
Blaine did treat Senator Edmunds Very
rudely Sunday evening at the residence Of
the dead ex-President, in New York. The
facts come to your correspondent from q
perfectly trustworthy gentleman, and are
as follows:
Mr.. Blaine called at the residence of the
deceased TO pay his respects and tender his
sympathies to the family. He was taken
up stairs by Col. McMichael. In the
meantime Senator Edmunds called for the
same purpose, and was shown in the
paTlOr by Mr.. Sherman w. knevals.
While they were sitting in the parlor
Col. MeMichael came in with Mr.. Blaine.
He did not know until he entered that
any persons were in the room. Seeing
Senator Edmunds and Mr.. KnevalS, he
simply said, "Mr. Blaine, gentlemen"
Senator Edmunds arese from his seat and,
starting across the room, extended his
hand to Mr. Blaine. The latter turned
his back square upon the distinguished
Yermonter. and StrOde ont of the room.
Senator Edmunds was very much agitated,
Mr.. Knevals indignant and Col. Me
Michael considerably emba rrassed.
Mr.. Blaine related few moments later
to Gen. Sheriden what had occurred and
the old soldier bluntly told him that he
had made mistake and that he was
surprised and mortified that under all the
circumstances he should have committed
such an error.
Senator EdmOnds Is q man of deep and
tender emotions, and on such sad Occa-
sion, in the house Of a dead friend and
host, would by his very nature have shak-
en- hands with his most bitter enemy.
The ungentlemanly conduct OF Mr.. Blaine
is ineXplicable, and will do him harm.
Even his friends deny that he could have
been guilty of such a grave breach of eti-
quette. Col. McMichael stated to-day
that had he known Senator Edmunds WAS
in the parlOr he would not have taken Mr..
Blaine To his presence.
"Of course, knew" he said, that no
good feeling existed between the two, but
never wOuld have dreamed that at such
time and place 80 embarrassing scene
would occur

THE PLOT AGAINST DAVITT.
Egan Thinks There Are Good Grounds For
the Assassination Rumor.


the Assassination Rumor.
LINCOLN, NEB., November 2.-Mr.
Egan, ex-President of the Irish National
League, was seen to-day, regarding the
rumored conspiracy to assassinate Michael
Davitt. He said he believed there were
good grounds for the rumor, and that If
evidence were wanted in the subject it
could he found by reading between the
lines of the dispatch from New York Will
fying Mr.. Davitts character. That dis
patch, Mr. Egan said, was made up OF a
tissue of untruths. For example, it states
that Mr. Davitt was badly received
throughout the West, including Nebrask ka.
Everyone here knows, said Mr. Egan, that
no public man ever received more cor
dial welcome or left behind him better
IMPRESSION in Nebl aska than Michael
Davitt.
Mr.. Egan says that while O'DonOvan
Rossa may not be personally mixed up IN
the plot, the cOnspiratOrs are not very lar
removed from him. The difference be-
tween Finnerty and Dayitt, Mr.. Egan re-
CARDS as simply an honest divergence OF
opinion between good men, as to policy
and methods, but the attack ofO' Donovan
Rossa he characterized as mean and con-
temptible. He says that RosSa's only ex-
ploits for a considerable time have been
TO force off empty threats and fire of blank
cartridges at England and TO pelt wind at
sensible, level-headed Irish NatlOnallsts.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.
Amalgamated Association Members vot
Ing on Joining the knights of Labor.

Amalgamated Association Members vot-
Ing on Joining the knights Of Labor.
PTTrsBURG, November 24.-The Anal
gamated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers has decided to take final action
upon the long discussed question OF
whether it should decide to enter the
knights of Labor organization. 1t has
long been known that the Knights Of La
Dor were specially anxious to include
among their members the Amalgamated
Association. At the annual convention
last summer OF the Amalgamatcd a letter
was received from Grand Master
Workman Powderly. He made a
proposition for the Amalgamated
Association to join the Knights of Labor
under the same conditions that the Glass
workers Assembly No. 800 Joined the
order. If the proposition was accepted the
Amalgamated Association would be made
distinct and separate Assembly Of the
Knights of Labor, and would still maiH-
tain its separate organization and retain
its present officials. The Amalgamated
Association Convention referred the letter
to the Committee on Good of the Order.
There the matter rested, and it was gener-
ally understood that no further action
would be taken in regard to it.
A meeting was held, however, on Octo-
ber 13, last, at which the question again
came up for discussion. At this meeting a
number of the delegates favored going
into the Knights of Labor while Others
strongly objected to doing so 1t was
eventually decided to refer the matter to
the different lodges. These lodges have
been ordered to vote upon the question, 30
the feeling Of each member of the associa-
tiOn may be learned. The matter is now
being acted upon by the different lodges,
and within short time they will all have
the results of their votes returned to the
headquarters of the Association.
A member of the Amalgamated AS
sociation who was seen this morning: 81
believe that the ballot will result
in the majority of the members voting
against joining the Knights of Labor. OF
course some of our men will vote in favor
of the move, but think that they will be
in the minority"
1t is well known that the Amalgamated
Association have q number of grievances
which they have asked the Knights of
Labor to settle. These grievances are
mainly in reference to the support given
to their iron workers, some Of
whom are alleged to work in ''scab" mills.
If the Amalgamated enter the Knights OF
Labor, it is rumored that this class Of men
will be dropped from both organizations,
and that all nOn-uniOn iron works that are
operated by Knights Of Labor men, will
be asked to adopt the Amalgamated Asso-
citation scale of wages. The Amalgamated
Association is considered one of the most
powerful labor organizations in the
country, and a membership of nearly 49,
600 men.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, November pa
general feeling of depression and sorrow
has been caused by the intelligence Of the

logistic article, says: TO the labOring
men there is no better friend than Herbert
NJ. Hoxie. In his way no one ever did
more for the laboring class or for the
interests of humanity than he, or with less
ostentation. In the death Of Mr.. HoIie
Texas has lost a friend whose services in
promoting the hedevelOpment Other resources
and the settlement and civilization Of her
wild territory, can hardly be overrated. 1t
is hardly too much to say that in some
period he did more toward these objects
by his sincere solicitude and ardous as well
as iudicious labor for the general advance
ment of Texas than the sum Of the States
legislative and official action.
