Leaving the z. Of l..

CHICAGO. Dec. 25.-The Evening
News says the first real and decided
opposition to the leadership of Powder
Iy in the Knights of Labor to bear fruit
that is ominous was the unanimous
withdrawal from the order last Friday
night of the local coopers' assembly
300. A red letter meeting was called
to take place in their hall FOR the pur-
pose of considering this very question,
and when it came to vote not a dis
selIting voice was raised to the propo-
sition that the assembly should with
draw. 1t is probable now that within
two weeks all Of the hfty-one local
coopers' assemblies in the United
States wi also withdraw from the
Knights of Labor and form themselves
INTO a national organization with
government 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 Fri
day night was the largest
| the stockyards strike when Powderly
ordered the 80, 900 either to return to
| work on the ten hour system or to sur
render the charters of their assemblies.
| The local assembly then had 800 mem
| beers in Chicago. Because the assem-
/ bly, refused TO withdraw from the
| knights of Labor at that time this
number has dwindled down until nuw
but $50 names are on the rolls OF 23U9.
Said George Schilling this afternoon:
AFTER the strike ana the dissatisfac-
ton growing out of Powderly's con-
duct, $50 eoopers quit us in body and
/ it has been impossible for US TO get
them back. Assembly 2309 really led
the charge in the eight hour movement
in 1885 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 meeting?"
81 think it would, nothing excepting
a general cleaning out of the othcers
and a revision of the constitution to
suit the self government of the locals
would have prevented it. The men
wanted to withdraw after the Milwau-
kee meeting year ago, but prevented
them. After the Indianapolis meeting
nothing could have kept them i'll the
| order"
"Will this move be confined to the
Chicago coopers aiOne?"
Mot by any means; in few weeks
you'll hear that the majority of the
| fifty-one local coopers' assemblies in the
| Knights of Labor will have followed
the example of assembly 2309. The dis
content is national. They don't like
the national government of the Knights
of Labor and will go by themselves.
Are you still with themr'
mo; withdrew some time ago. for
reasons of my own. However, l at
tended the meeting the other night and
l know of the contemplated action in
the flu ture.'

The Wissman Exposition for the ROlisf of Emin

The Wissmsn Expedition for the Rolisf of Emin
PashG Postponed.
Copyright 1888, by the N. Y. Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec. 22,-The Committee of
the Emin relief association gives more
credence to the reported arrival of
Henry NJ. Stanley on the Aruwhimi
than they did to Osmau Digna's story
of Emin Pasha's capture, but they
have decided TO continue the prepara-
lions for sending Emin relief until the
news is verified. Some of the members
of the committee in discussing the con-
tradictions between the dispatch re-
ceiVed from Zanzibar which reports that
Stanley had reached the Aruwhimi,
and that which came from Congo re-
porting the arrival on the Aruwhimi
of both Stanley and Emin, conclude
that Stanley had reached the Aru-
whimi intending to return to Emin
Pasha, but hold that the safety of the
latter remains in doubt.
0The departure of Wissman will now
be retarded until early in February,
this delay is partly due to the impossi-
bility of obtaining the passage of the
east African bill by the reichstag be-
fore February, although the release of
Emin Pasha will be one object Of the
expedition. 1t will also act in support
of the anti-slave operations, obtaining
on his return from the interior il
will be proposed in the reichstag, and
that part of the money voted by the
bill shall be used for raising force OF
colonial troops, even ii it happens that
Emin PaSha is safe.
Lieutenant Wissman's plans, already
formed. will be the probable basis OF
the expedition into the interior. Wiss.
man expects, whatever happens, tC
lead the colonizing force. Wissman's
brother officers in the second regiment
of the guards will give him farewell
dinner at the end of January.
In the discussion of the route to bC
taken and the number Of men com
posing the expedition, lettel
from Cardinal Lavigerie to the
German minister at Brussels attracts
| attention. Cardinal Lavigerie uses his
knowledge of the interior of Africa
to support the statement that 50l
troops we've marching through the Ger
man territory by way of Unganyembe
to Unkiji, ON Lake Tanganka, coul(
crush the slave trade and disarm and
forever disable the Arab slave mer
chants. The East Africa bill is under
stood to demand a sum of sufficient 70,
large scheme, involving permanent
cOasting provisions and several garri
