Associated Press Dispatches TO the HERALD
INDIANAPOLIS, November 26.-In the
Knights of Labor convention this morn
ing the Grievance Committee occupied
the time. In the case OF the contested
delegation from District Assembly 40,
New York, that headed by James f.
Quinn was recognized.
Powderly says he is sorry he was re-
elected, as ne has been offered better
job, one paying 900 for three months
work.
The business of the afternoon was
nearly all of a routine character. One
OF the first things done on reassembling
was the passage of resolution to ad-
iourn the Assembly sine die tomorrow
at noon.
The committee on Appeals and Griev-
ances resumed its work. The only case
of importance considered was that OF
George Schilling, who as Master Work
man of District Assembly "a, of Chicago,
suspended Local Assembly 400. The
Local Assembly appealed to the
| General Master Workman and was by
him reinstated. Schilling thereupon
appealed the case to this body on the
ground that the Master Workman of d
District Assembly, and not the General
Master Workman had authority to sus.
pend a local Assembly. During the
hearing of the case Schilling vigorously
denounced Powderly on the floor of the
Assembly. When Schilling had con,
cluded his statement General Master
Workman Powderly took the floor and
argued in justification OF his action by
claiming that when dispute arose be-
tween a District Master Workman and
the General Master Workman, the latter
being the superior officer, was entitled tc
authority. Debate being closed the Gen
eyal Assembly first refused to sustain
Powderly's action in reinstating the Local
Assembly, and then refused TO endorse
Schilling's appeal. By small majority
vote the whole matter was then referred
to the new General Executive Board.
A number of other unfinished appeal
cases were referred to the Executive
Board. The newly elected officers were
installed this afternoon. Tomorrow the
Legislative Committee will submit its
report. 1t is understood that Robert ID.
Layton and Ralph Beaumont will con-
stitute the committee on National Legis'
lation, with Layton as Chairman.
The following named cities are appli-
cants for the place of holding the next
General Assembly: Toronto, Canada
Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, La. ;
Toledo, Ohio; Albany, N. Y. and Provi-
dence, X. [. 1t is thought that either
Toronto or Atlanta will be chosen.

AN ANARCHIST ENTERTAINMENT
The stars and stripes Under r OOt-
The Crimson Rag UmfurIed.

CHICAGO, November 26.-The Anar-
chists and their sympathizers had a
meeting last night in the suburb of Lake
View, which had been advertised as a
free entertainment. After gymnastic
exercises and singing, the curtain over
the stage went up, disclosing tableau.
A prominent feature was white bust of
Spies. In the rear was female person
ating the Goddess OF Liberty. To her
right was another representing Justice
with a sword and scales in hand,
but her arm was held by little
girl who sneeringly pointed at the God
dess of Liberty. The next was man in
black representing the law. His bands
were thrown up and typical Anarchist
held sword to his breast. In front was
another Anarchist armed with an axe.
Beneath his feet were the stars and
stripes, and over his head waved a Grim
son flag. Several citizens of Lake View
manifested disapproval of the tableau
and left the hall, but the majority of
those present applauded wildly. The
police say they will not allow the repeti-
tion OF such entertainments"

TELESCOPED.
Two Express Trains Crash To.
gether at Full Speed.

DENVER, COL, November ga fatal
accident occurred On the Denver and Rio
Grande track at little station named
Hustled, fifteen miles north of Colorado
Springs. this morning by which two men
were killed and several fatally injured.
The Rock Island uses the track of the
Rio Grande from Colorado Springs to
Denver. The Salt Lake express on the
Rio Grande pulled out OF Palmers Lake
station eight minutes late, and was
laundering down the divide at thirty
miles an hour. One mile south of
Hustled the track make a sharp curve,
on turning which the engineer was hor-
Rock Island express. The engineers
and a moment afterwards the engines
came together with laundering crash,
telescoping the cars of both trains, rem
dering them mass of broken timbers
and iron, upsetting the stove in the Rio
Grande baggage car, which set fire to the
train, and before it could be extinguished
three cars were consumed, but FORUM
ately no one was imprisoned in them.
On investigation it was found that only
two trainmen were killed, w. III. Phillips,
express messenger, and j. III. Flynn,
baggagemaster, both of the Rock Island
train. The wounded are Martin Munroe,
engineer of the Rio Grande train, slight
fracture of the skull and badly hurt in
ternally; he will probably die; Joseph
Berry, engineer of the Rock Island, head
cut and badly bruised; Harry Smith,
fireman, badly scalded and head cut.
The fireman Of the Rio Grande train re-
ceived fatal injuries. Several others
were more or less injured, but not seri-
ously. The responsibility, it is claimed,
rests with the train dispatcher.

ENGLISH AMERICAN RELATIONS.
The British Government Not in a
Hurry to Settle the Fisheries
Question.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONDON, November 26.-In the Com
mons tonight Gourley (Liberal) asked
if the correspondence ON the American
fisheries question was to be produced,
whether it was the intent of the Govern
ment to negotiate for new commission,
and whether in the meantime, owing to
the divergence of legal opinion relative
to the meaning of the treaty of 1918, it
was intended to suspend the enforce
ment of its provisions.
Sir James Ferguson, Parliamentary
Secretary of the Foreign Office, curtly
replied that the Government would not
publish any papers, nor make any state
nent on the subject at present. A naod,ts
o'yendi is in operation.
Smith, the Government leader, reply
ing to a question, intimated that the
Government, under present circum-
stances, was unable to make any state
ment with regard to the appointment of
Minister to Washington.
The House then went into Committee
OF the Whole, and the debate of the
iohu PuiShdoC Jill WAS resumed. faT-
nell proposed an amendment to the effect
that no money be advanced for the pur-
chase of more than one holding, if such
holding were rated at no less than G2O.
yearly.
Balfour contended that the amendment
would interfere with the smooth work.
ing of the plan of sale.
David sheehy, Nationalist Member for
South Galway, stopped the debate by
appealing to the chairman on aquestion
of privilege. He stated that he was leav-
ing the House when an attendant hand
ed him what appeared an ordinary visi-
tors card. Upon going into the lobby a
Constable from Ireland served him with
summons under the Coercion act. He
moved to report progress in order to give
the House an opportunity to discuss this
audacious breach of privilege.
Balfour deplored the incident and did
not know under what authority it had
happened.
On motion of Morley committee was
appointed to inquire into the circum-
stances of the incident, consisting of Sir
William Harcourt, Mr.. Morley, Sir
Charles Russell, Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. Timo-
thy Heely, Home Secretary Matthews,
Mr.. Gaschen, Mr.. Madden, Sir Edward
Glass and Matthew Ridley.

THE RUCKER ROW.
Senator Blackburn Publishes an
Open Letter.

LEXINGTON, KY, November 26.-
To-morrow's transcript will say: Senator
J.C. S. Blackburn and Col. J. Stoddard
Johnson arrived here yesterday at noon
and were joined by General Basil w.
Duke, who was Eere on visit, and General
James +. Robinson, of this city. They
went by rather obscure route to the
rear of the Phoenix Hotel, and entering
the building went to rooms which had
been secured for them by telegraph.
Evidently their purpose was to be as
quiet as possible and none of the news
ence. The gentlemen alluded to held d
consultation that resulted in the con-
clusion that Senator Blackburn should
write communication to the Courier
Journal, which was done, and the letter
was sent to that journal this afternoon
by tie hand OF General Duke. In it
Senator Blackburn says he has heard
nothing directly or otherwise, except
through the press, from Judge Rucker.
Of Rucker's open letter he quotes parts.
stating that nothing personally offensive
had been intended, but that if the SEN
ator wishes to meet the writer he can be
accommodated. Then he concludes by
saying that it is due to the public and to
himself to state that while Rucker's con-
duct in making public his eport was en-
tirely inaccurate, he (the Senator) re-
grets that the language he used in char
acterizing the Judges conduct was
strong and emphatic, and that he feels
he should have simply contradicted the
statements he knew to be incorrect and
unjust to President Cleveland and him
self.
NO CHALLENGE FORWARDED.
DENVER, COL, November 26 The re.
port from Lexington, Ky, that Colonel
John G. Moore was there bearing chal
lenge from Judge Rucker to Senate,
Blackburn, is untrue. A special from
Pueblo from Colonel Moore to the Asso
ciated Press, says Moore was there at {
O'Clock this evening, and had no inten
tion of going to Kentucky.

Our Rural In dustffes.

The past two years have witnessed a
considerable retrogradation in the fascin-
ating programme of rural industries for
which this section had become 60 noted.
The villa lot craze is partly responsible
for this but the scale pests which at
tackled our citrus orchards, and the fun
gus growth which so sadly impaired our
vineyards were more largely responsible
for the set back.
The townsite mania is passed and will
cut no figure in our future history. The
most sanguine of us has become
convinced that million acres cut into
twenty-five feet lots was OVERRIDING that
branch of enterprise. We have learned
to reduce our estimates in this line to a
rational basis, and are content to see the
greater part OF our two million arabic
acres returned to their rational and
legitimate purposes. Small farms of
FIVE, ten or twenty acres will replace in
reality the imaginary villa on twenty
five feet lots.
But the scale pests and the fungus re-
main. They remain, but to those who
are observant they have lost their terrors.
All over this county are orange trees as
clean, as healthy, as thrifty, as profitable
as ever they were. Nor are these con.
fined to spots, from which the scale has
always been excluded, like Riverside.
Small orchards are found in the most in.
fected localities from which the scale has
been debarred. In long drive over the
San Gabriel valley on Sunday we
saw such trees at many points.
Five acre orchards in the hands of
intelligent and industrious men can be
kept in perfect condition, and be made
to return yield equal to not less than
81 900 per annum.
The old orchards which for years have
been infested by this plague, however,
are rather better now than they were a
year ago. The Sunny Slope trees look
much more vigorous than they did one
or two years since. They have been
cleaned and kept in perfect cultivation,
and promise to survive the pest and
recuperate from its attack.
So with the vineyards. There are
many of them, and that of large area,
which look we'll. Baldwin's vines look
particularly promising and 30 do many
others in the valley. The Nadeau vines
have yielded this year nearly ,OOO. 900
gallon of wine. The Sunny Slope vintage
is far from bagatelle affair, and Baldwin
has made great deal of wine. So has
the San Gabriel Wine Company.
Altogether things wear hopeful as
pect, and we confidently predict that we
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-11-27

are at the turn of the lane. In a couple
OF years more we expect to see these fas-
cinating industries as prosperous and
profitable as ever they were. Methods
will be perfected from the number now
being tested by which the scale will be
triumphantly conquered, and the fungus
growth removed from the vines. Our
vineyards will again, and at no distant
day, yield their FIVE to seven tons
per acre, and they will sell at from
500 to $50 per ton. So, too,
our orange groves will turn out their two
to four boxes per tree, or 200 to 400 per
acre, which will sell for all grades at
from 81 to $4 per box.
With these good things will come a
great development in deciduous fruit
growing. The fig and prune will COM
pete in profit with the orange and lemon,
and the pear and apple will vie with the
vine. The eastern markets will be
opened for our fruit, and train loads
daily will leave here all the year round.
The fruit crops will be reinforced by
those OF choice vegetables which will
flood the Eastern cities, our peas, beans,
cabbages, cauliflowers and tomatoes in a
natural state, dried and canned, being
sent forward in an endless stream. Corn,
wine and oil /; nuts, honey and olives will
be added to all these. Wheat and bar
ley will fill up the great list, and from all
these resources will flow back perfectly y
Pactolean stream of coin to enrich oul
people engaged in all these various rura
| Industries.
