OPPOSITION TO PowDgRLY.
The Chicago coopers Withdraw From the
Knights of Labor.

knights OF Labor.
CHICAGO, Dec 26.-The Evening News
says the first real and decided opposition to
the leadership of Powderly in the Knights
of Labor to bear fruit that is ominous, was
the unan;Giois withdrawal from the order
last Friday night of the local Coopers' assem-
bly,. A red letter meeting was called 10 take
place in their hall for the purpose Of consid-
ering this very question, and when it came
to a vote not "A dissenting voice was raised to
the proposition that the Coopers' assembly
should withdraw
1t is probable now that within two weeks,
all of the fifty-one local coopers' assemblies in
the United States win also withdraw from
the Knights of Labor, and form themselves,
into National organization with govern
nent and officers to suit the radical ideas of
the members.
The cause of this revolutionary movement
within the Knights of Labor dates back to
the time of the Inauguration of the great
eight hour movement in 1886 The meeting
held Friday night was the largest gathering
of the Chicago coopers since the stock yards
strike, when Powderly ordered the thirty
thousand men either to return to work on
the ten-hour system, or to surrender the char
ters of their assemblies. The local assembly
then had eight hundred members in Chicago.
Because tho assembly refused TO withdraw
from the knights of Labor at that time this
number has dwindled down until now but
one hundred and fifty names are on the rolls
of 2309.
Said George Schilling: "After the strike
and the dissatisfaction growing our Of Pow
derly's conduct, $50 coopers quit us in a
body, and it has been impossible for us to
get them back Assembly 1909 really led
the charge in the eight-hour movement In
1886, and the failure TO carry out that fight
is attributed to Powderly."
"Would this step have been taken had any
one besides Powderly been elected general
master workman at the last National meet
mgr
81 think it would Nothing excepting a
general cleaning out Of the officers and a re-
vision of the constitution to suit the self
government of the locals would have pre-
vented it, The men wanted to withdraw
after the Milwaukee meeting a year ago, but
/ prevented them. After this Indianapolis
meeting nothing could have kept them in the
order.n
"Will this move be confined to the Chicago
coopers alonep
'Not by any means In few weeks you
will hear that the majority of the fifty-one
local coopers' assemblies in the Knights of
Labor will have followed the example Of
Assembly 2300. The discomfort is National
They don't like the National government Of
the knights of Labor, andw go by them
selves"
"Are you still with them9"
"No; withdrew some time ago for reasons
of my own. However, attended the meet
ing the other night, and know Of the con
templated action of the future.n

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec 26 Last night al
$50 o'clock the Baxter Court, the handsmon-

perate efforts he was rescued by firemen.
He is very seriously burned and bruised by

The office of the Evening Banner and that

BALTIMORE, Dec 26-Sydney Il. Mudd,
the Republican candidate for congress in

upon Barnes Compton, the Democratic can
didate, that he would contest his seat in the
Fifty-frst congress Governor jackson
issued a certificate of election to Compton on
plurality of two votes Mr.. Mudd gives as
reasons for contest that the Fifth election
district in Charles county, which gave Comp
ton 191 and Mudd 274 votes, was not in
cluded In the returns handed to'the governor,
because the judges in that district had by
mistake put the books containing statements

out the Fifth election district. The same al
legation Is made in the Ninth election district,

GEN. J. @. pLACK.

GEN. j. @. BLACK, "SSAi1N -r-eN"
under the pension laws of his country This
is the first suit for damages ever filed against
a commissioner of pensions. The grievances
Of the plaintiff, as related in the bill, are tc
the effect that he is entitled to pension OF
$72 per month from the date Of his discharge,
his injuries being the loss of his right hand
and foot and fracture of the skull, the lat
ten causing loss of mind and memory, and
that Notwithstanding the fact that the law
fixed this amount to be paid for injuries such
as his. the defendant has refused and still re
fuses to allow him his legal rights in this
respect and pays him much smaller amount
than $72 per month he claims that there
are 5000 due him on this account.
By act of congress the pension for the loss
of a hand or foot or both hands or feet was
raised to $75 per month in 1880 and arrears
We're allowed for this rate on condition that
the claim was filed prior TO july l, 1880.
Dunlap claims in his suit that his claim was
flied prior to this date and he also stated at
this time that his mind had hecome impaired
from his terrible head injury, and that the
defendant in refusing the claim gives no legal
cause for doing so.
Capt. Dunlap joined Company l, Second
Illinois Volunteers when he was only nineteen
and half years old and before he served
three years in the rebellion was made captain.

SEAL FISHERIES.
Alaska Territory Proves a Val

THE PRICE MORE THAN PAID ~
SEAL SKINS.

A House Committee to Investigate tht
Morals Existing Among the People OF
AIaska-Internal Revenue Collections
Other Washington Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Chairman Poin
dexter Dunn, of the house committee Oh
merchant marine and fisheries, has sum
moned ten witnesses to appear before the
committee on January z to testify in regard
to the Alaska seal fisheries which his com
mittee Is now engaged in investigating.
The resolution under which the committee
is operating empower it to inquire iato amy
violation of contract with the United State,
by the Alaska Commercial company; also tc
inquire as to the moral status Of the inhabit-
ants incident to the almost complete control
of st. George and st. Pau! islands by the
Alaska Commercial company,
"Thesc seal fisheries said Mr.. Dunn to q
representative of the United Press, "are the
most valuable in the world, and our investi.
cation is directed to the question as to
whether the United States can, by any
means, secure more revenue from them and
at the same time preserve the fisheries. There
are two other seal fisheries, that at Com
nader island, and that off the mouth of the
Platte river, in South America There was
at one tinlc a seal fishery off Japan, but that
is now practically extinct. SO far the United
States has received from the Alaskan fish
cries about 81, 100000 from these fisheries di-
rect besides an indirect revenue which
amounts to about S3,0O00O0. The whole ter
ritory of Alaska cost the United States about
$7,5O0,000. So you see the purchase has beer
profitable one"
The testimony SO far adduced does not
show high state of morals among the peo
pie and the committee hope to arrive at some
conclusion that will promote the cause Of
good morals and civilization among the ma
tiYes of Alaska.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DISASTER.
1t is Now Believed That the Loss of Life
viii Reach Sixty.


MEMPHIS, Tenn. Dec. 20 William Dono-
hue, one Of the clerks of the burned steamer
Katie Adams, has arrived here from the
wreck. When the yawl capsized with him
and Clerk George Corbett the last he saw of
his colleague he was floating down the river,
clinging to a small ladder. Donohue managed
to get on to a bale of cotton, and wns rcs-
cued some six miles below Commerce by
some negroes. He says Corbett may possi-
bly, have been rescued further down the
river.
1t is probable that the number Of lives lost
will never be accurately stated. The most
conservative estimate is thirty-five Out of
a party of fifeeen white laborers which
boarded the steamer below Friarspoint only
two are said to have been saved. If this be
true the loss Of life may reach sixty, as many
negroes who were on the lower deck lost their
lives in attempting to swim ashore from the
stern Of the burning steamer. The boat and
her cargo were valued at $4,000.

BLAINE WOULD ACCEPT.
He Is Said to Eagerly Desire the Portfolio

NEW YoRK, Dec. 26.-The Herald's
Augusta, Me-, special says: That Mr..
James g. Blaine wants to be secretary of
state in President Harrison's cabinet is re-
garded here generally as a fact, and his
Maine friends want him to have the place.
He would not accept the mission to st.
James, as the position would not be congen-
ial to him.
The feeling here is that, if he is not invited
into the cabinet, he will feel greatly disap-
pointed, and will regard the failure to invite
him as slight 1t is said that he frankly
avowed to Gen. Alger, when that gentleman
was here that he would not be satisfied with
any other position than that of secretary of
state and there is a belief that it has been
rendered him. Mr.. Blaine is extremely silent
and will not allow himself to be interviewed.
The silence he maintains appears also to have
been imposed upon all around him.
