THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.
Proceedings Yesterday - POwderly Scores the ViIificrs Barry Produces Another Batch of Charges.

Proceedings Yesterday - Powderly Scores
 the viIificrs Barry Produces Another
 Batch of Charges.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2O.-There is some probability that the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor will finish its work this week, but contingencies may arise which will keep the delegates over until next week. At the morning session the committee on appeals and grievances continued its report.
 General Master w Workman Powderly created a sensation by taking the floor and reading bitter attack in Chicago paper called The Knight of Labor against the general officers and saying that the pres,nt convention had been packed in the interest of POwderly. Mir. Powderly ma 1e strong speech in which he said he had a resolution which would be pre- sented at tho proper time, which provided for the expulsion, without appeal, of any member who vilified brother in the public press, whether the charges were true or false.
 w. F. Lewis, of the miners, agreed with MT. Powderly, and wanted to know who was responsible for the publication of the charge in The Journal of United Labor that Charles H. Litchman had stolen the mailing lists of the general assembly and given them to the Republican national committee. Powderly said he knew nothing of these charges until he had read them in the Journal of United Labor MT. Litchman defed anybody to truthfully accuse him of wrongdoing.
 T. B. Barry has issued another instalment of his charges that at Richmond the delegates were spied upon, and says that "the same system of spying prevails at this session. The spies have been found eavesdropping at the room doors and in the corridors of the hotels, and dogging the footsteps of delegates who had the honor and manhood to assert their rights as Knights of Labor. Robert R. Elliott, of Bridge, Ont, a member of the committee on appeals and grievances, was, on Nov. 17, engaged in the laudable and knightly occupation of spying upon groups of delegates at the Occidental hotel"
 Other cases of spying are given. Barry has received number of letters approving his action. One is from Ed Moore, master workman of District Assembly No. l. of Philadelphia. He says that if Powderly is reelected the order inSAthat city will go to pieces He gives list of thirteen non union persons employed in the general office and of twelve Knights of Labor who have been dis charged.

The Two Emperors Meet.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The royal yacht, bear ing the Empress Dowager Victoria, her daughters and the Prince of Wales, reached Port Victoria in the morning. Queen Vic toria and her daughters, Princesses Louise and Beatrice, accompanied by Count Von Hatzfeldt, German ambassador, went to the port to meet them. There was but small crowd at the station to greet the queen, and there was no cheering or uncovering of heads The empress landed at noon, and was received by the queen, who embraced her and kissed her several times. Thousands had collected at the landing place, and they gave the empress an enthusiastic reception. The route taken by their majesties was crowded with people, who heartily cheered theTn or

ALBANY'S NEW CATHEDRAL.
The Beginning of Dedication Ceremonies
 Which Will Last Five Days.

ALBANY, Nov. 20.-To-day the dedication ceremonies of Albany's great cathedral be- gins, to last until the 25th. The intention was for the ceremonies to be on All Souls day, but the delay in finishing led to post ponement. Ten bishops and about 100 clergy men, chiefly from other sections of this state, take part in the various ceremonies, and nothing will be lacking to properly signalize the occasion. The scheme for giving Albany a cathedral began at a conference of prom inent Episcopalians on All Souls day in 1872; early in 1873 the legislature incorpor- ated the association of the Cathedral of All Saints. Some S150,0O0 was raised, and in 1883 Erastus Corning gave the association the plot of ground valued at $S0 GOO, on which the cathedral has since been erected
 The plan of Architect R. w. Gibson was adopted, and on Whittuesday, June 3, 1884, the corner stone was laid. At that time the contributions amounted to nearly $1 1000, ,OOO, exclusive of the site. A special subscription was then made to have the twentY-four columns of the cathedral memorial columns each of some eminent churchman. The plan of the cathedral is early gothic, massive
 with transepts side aisles, and a choir, grand tower and dome at the center But the plan has been so modified that none of an ordin- ary congregation of l 800 people will have to sit behind the pillars. The auditorium is 25O feet long and 12O feet wide across the tran septs. The west front measures 100 feet. There are two towers with spires 200 feet high, and between these circular window. Below are three portals, and here the cary ing is of wonderful richness. Three are statues. There are statues of the apostles and saints, with bas reliefs on scriptural subjects. The interior decorations are still more impressive. The site is near that of the noted old iron foundry which was used for many years as place of worship.

TALK ABOUT PROHIBITION.
Prominent Politicians Argue to Prove That
 It is a Failure.

Prominent Politicians Argue to Prove That
 It is a Failure.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 20.--Hon. Warner Miflsy presided at the meeting of the Church Tenn perance society in Steinway hall, and deliv- cred an address showing how we'll high license worked in Philadelphia and wherever it had been tried, and how useless it was to advocate prohibition, when the vote at the last election showed that only two out Of every hundred citizens are Prohibitionists
 Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, spoke of the work of the society, and Rev. D. A. Greer, of this city, lately of Providence, declared Rhode Island prohibition was failure, as shown by the fact that there was an increase of 30 per cent. in the liquor traffic of Provi- dence since the law was passed, while the number of arrests had fallen off owing to the refusal of juries to listen to the testimony of the odious class known as sspotters."
 Hon. Seth Low told how, as mayor of Brooklyn, he had tried to enforce the saloon law impartially, and succeeded in making enemies of both the saloonists and the Pro- hibitionists. He favored local option and high license.
 Chauncey M. Depew sent letter of regret.
 Rev. W. R. Huntington was elected chair man of the society, Rev E. Osborn, of Boston, vice chairman, and Robert Graham general secretary.

 tions-New Candidates Mentioned-Goh
 Claims West Virginia.
 NEW YORK, Nov. O-President-elect liar rison has decided not to come to New York, and consequently the interested parties are going to Indianapolis. Vice President Levi P. Morton will leave the city probably within fortnight. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Morton, and possibly ex-Senator Thomas C. Platt, Chauncey M Depew, War ner Miller and Senator Frank Hiscock will also be of the party. MT. and Mrs. Morton during the campaign were repeatedly invited to Indianapolis by General and Mrs. Harri- son, but his business and political engage ments have heretofore prevented their ac- ceptance.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The Star says: "In cabinet gossip MT. Dingley is being spoken of with growing frequency for secre- tary of the navy. The prophets still hold the state department open to Senator Sherman, and it is pretty generally accepted as among the most probable things that John Wanna maker will be postmaster general If Sher- man goes into the cabinet it is said to be likely that MT. Mckinley would take his place in the senate. It would lie between Mr. Mckinley and Foster, with the chances in favor ofs sthe former. Under this arrange ment it is thought that MT. Butterworth would be speaker of the house The opinion Is very often expressed that the speakership will go to either Butterworth or Cannon, of Illinois There is much doubt expressed as to whether Mir. Mckinley would want the Speakership, even if the senate should not be open to him.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov, 20-Among the call eTs on President-elect Harrison were J. s. Clarkson and Col. Swords, of Iowa. Mir. C1arkson stated that he was here to talk over with the general the work of the national committee, and to make a report of their doings in general.
 new cabinet proposition comes from Kansas. The Republicans of that state are anxious that Senator Plumb should be made secretary of the interior A delegation headed by J. K. Hudson, editor of The Topeka Capital will probably be here this week to urge the presdent-elect to give some consid- eration to the man of their choice.

 Which Interests Pennsylvanians.


 Which Interests Pennsylvanians.
 BEAVER, Pa., Nov. 20.-The suit of Mrs Lydia A. Hubbard, vivacious and deter mined widow of 45, against Henry C.. Fry, Sr., of Rochester, Pa, to recover S1OO, 900 for breach of promise of marriage, was called for trial here. MT. Fry is largely interested in manufacturing enterprises ill the Beaver valley, and is said to be worth $1 ,0O0, ,OOO He is the father of five grown up children while the plaintiff has two. Both families are prominent in the First Baptist church and in society. There are half dozen law yers in the case, and it is to be fought to a finish.
 Mrs. Hubbard told the story of her unfortu- nate love affair before a very large audi ence. She said Fry began paying attention to her two years ago at a picnic, when he sat on a log beside her. The first time he called. she said, he sat down close to her and gazed at her with "a very, very eager look |" After discussing with her the general subject of marriage he told her she was the ''loveliest woman" he ever saw
 Part of the evening"" Mrs. Hubbard said, ''he had his hand on my knee but not all the time" The second time he called she declared he addressed her as my dear'' and vowed he could not be happy without her. He con- plained of being lonely and wretched, and uo lONSu HIS IlTSU "lIS ne wanted Mrs Hubbard, too. That evening he began to call her Lydia" and consulted with her about the refurnishing of his house.
 Mrs. Hubbard traced the courtship up to Nov. ? last, when she and MT. Fry took the train for Pittsburg to get married They registered at the Hotel Anderson as man and wife, and the widow was shown to room 56 MT. Fry went out to transact some business and when he came back he had changed his mind about the marriage, and there was no ceremony. The plaintiff then related how she had endeavored to induce him to keep his promise, and concluded with a dramatic re- cital of her last conference with him. when he denounced her as ''liar" and an ''adven- tureSS D

congress of the Church of England was held in November, 1861, in Kings college Cam bridge. That both universities might stand sponsor to this new born power the next meeting was held in Oxford, in 1862, and was presided over by Bishop Wilberforce himself
 A small conference of clergy and laity held in Trinity church, New Haven, fifteen years ago was the origin of the church congress in America. The idea assumed permanent shape and title at a meeting called little later in Christ church parish, New York city.
 The church congress has no official status; binds no one controls no one The discus sons are on subjects selected with great care and consideration, and the writers and speak CTS to whom they are assigned are also care fully chosen. In such cultured body heated wrangles are almost unknown.
 A number of important questions are com ing up for discussion during this session. Three of them are especially interesting: ''The Question of Race in America;" 'The Limits of Discussion in the Church," and ''What Principles Should Govern Church Extension in our Country in Fields Already Occupied by Others"
 On the question of race there will be those who will urge that on account of prejudice ! it is best that the colored people should or ganize churches by themselves. Among those who will speak on this subject is Rev. Dr. A. Crummel, of Washington, D. C., a negro graduate of one of the best univer- sities, and man of culture
 The topic, ''The Limits of Discussion in the Church." will be considered from two sides; first, that the doors ought to be thrown wide open to all discussion, no matter how start ling the doctrine proposed; second, that there are many in the churches not compe- tent to judge of the merits of theory or doctrine, and by adopting harmful belief they may be injured.
 It is expected that the congress will be about evenly divided on the question of ex- tending the Episcopal church in fields al- ready occupied by other denominations. This subject, which will be considered on Friday afternoon, is expected to bring out more warm discussion than any of the | others.

Flouring Mills Shut Down.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 2O.-Five of the Minneapolis flour mills, representing
 1000 barrels daily capacity, or 25 per cent.
 of the city's daily capacity, are now shut down. To this number there will be several additions this week. When navigation closes and anchor ice begins to get troublesome in the river there will be general curtailing of flour production. The reasons for this are flour market. Most of the big millers have large quantities of flour in stock, ready to take advantage of an improvement in the trade, It is estimated, however, that stocks will not be larger than normal by January 1.

Returns Indicate that West Virginia Is
 Republican by Narrow Majority.
 WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 20.-The Re publican claim of election of Gen. Golf to the governorship was apparently justified when Wyoming and Mcdowell counties sent in their returns Wyoming gave seventy-five majority for Golf and Mcdowell 174, Re publican gain of 36S in the two counties. These counties complete the returns from the state, and Gen. Goff's majority will be about 125. The Democrats are alleging gross frauds in the two counties named, and the matter is sure to be carried to the courts.
 The following telegram received by the editor of The Intelligencer explains itself, and to those who know Gen. Gooff carries great weight with it:
 HARRISBURG, w. Va, Nov 19 Mcdowell county gives me 174 majority The Hon. John Cooper telegraphs from Bramwen that my majority in Wyoming is 122. Official re- turns now show that we have carried the state and shall use all proper means before all suita- ble tribunals to enforce the will of the people as expressed at the polls, and to protect their inter- ests and rights.
