to Transmit Their Views.

Farmers and Hydraulic Miners Invited
to Transmit Their Views.
A meeting of the United States Debris
Commission was held Monday in The office
OF Major Huer, of the United States En-
gineer Corps, in the Flood building. San
Francisco, he being one of the members.
Major W. 81. II. Benyaurd, who was desig-
mated by the Secretary of War as Chairman
of the Commission, presided
The Commission did not differ on the
proposition that the work cut out for it is
very extensive, since it must consider the
hydraulic-mining question as the farmers
and the miners look ct it, with view
of ascertaining whether any satisfac-
tory arrangement can be made for the
continuance of hydraulic mining, and
must also find out how hydraulic mining
affects the navigation Of streams and rivers
and whether it can be carried on without
material injury TO such navigation. The
three members OF the Board therefore con-
cluded that the preparatory work to be
done should be parceled out among them
seives-one TO go over some of the mass of
documents which have already accumu-
lated on the subject, and each of the others
to take half of the rest
1t was decided to send out circular letters
to the leading representatives of the min
ing and farming sides of the debris contro-
versy, requesting them to present their
views in written communications and give
whatever information they can.
1t was thought best TO limit the time in
which replies may be sent to sixty days, as
the Commission has been instructed to re-
port to the War Department as soon as
practicable. II it can ii will have its re-
port ready to be acted on by the next Con-
gress.
When the replies to the circular letters
are gone over nddigested. the Commission
may set day for the presentation OF views
orally.-S f. Examiner.

lore the Courts.
AUBURN IN. ", November 27th.-The
first of the famous opium smuggling cases
was moved at the opening of the United
States Court this morning. The defendant
IS Edwin A. Gardner, who had been in
dicted for smuggling an aggregate of $500
pounds of opium. Gardner was once a
Special Agent of the Government, when he
acquired full knowledge of the methods
of the Customs Collectors One of the
branches of the case is a trial for conspir-
acy with an alleged combination 20 steal
captured opium packages from the 0gdens-
burg Custom house and substituting blocks
of wood, for the double purpose of getting
the opium and destroying evidence.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Lyt-

charges of conspiracy and theft. Gardner,
who had given bail, was subsequently again

PENDANTS in this part of the case.
Gardner was brought into Court at 10
o'clock this morning. His eyes are weak,
and he wore bandage over them. Ex-
Congressman Richard Crowley, of Lock
port, appeared as his counsel. United
States District Attorney Lockwood and AS
sistant Hoyt represented the Government.

ment was J. Chandler Houghton, Special

testified to arresting Gardner and his
cousin, Ephraim Redwood and confiscat-
ing their trunks. He searched Ephraim S
barn and found $50 pounds of opium con-
cealed among the baled hay. -Four trunks

BARRY's BATTLE.
The New Labor Organization that is to
Combat the Knights.

me new LABOR organization that Is to
Combat the Knights.
CHICAGO, November 27th.-Thos. Barry,
the noted ex-Knight of Labor, remained in
Chicago until tonight to prepare the
ground for the coming meeting of the % or
30 delegates to the General Convention
whom he expects to assemble here and
start the proposed new opposition organiza-
uon. The meeting it is understood, will
issue declaration of principles. This
declaration, as far as at present evolved, is to
repeat all the charges so frequently made
against the Powderly administration, and
will specifically demand eight hours for a
days labor, the abolition of child labor. the
regulation of female labor, manual train
ing, and factory and store inspection. 1t
will denounce the alleged antagonism of
the knights of Labor to Trade Unions, and
particularly the intolerance of the Knights
TO members of the Federation of Labor.
Unlike the knights, the new organiza-
ton will not debar from membership
Federationists. Its declaration will charge
that the Knights are too largely composed
OF Irish and Americans. The new organ
ization will ann to be cosmopolitan. In
divldual local assemblies will be independ-
ent, acknowledge no General Executive
Board, and pay no tribute to General off
GERS, but keep their money at home for use
in the struggle for eight hours day.
The organization is to be secret in the
same sense as the Knights of Labor, but
1t IS intended that there shall be open
meetings for the purpose of discussing
political questions. Indeed the chief dis
tinguishing feature of the new organiza-
ton is TO be the active interest it will take
in politics, and for this purpose the order
will use either Democrats or Republicans.

LONDON, November 27th.-The Parnell
Commission hearing was resumed TODAY.
Sergeant Gilhooly, of County Kerry, who
recited the story of the outrages, testified
that he kept book to record the outrages
in.
Russell, for Parnell, demanded the pro-
duction of the book.
James, of the 7yBaes counsel, said the
book contained letters and official COM
munications respecting certain persons.
and it was desirable that they should not be
published.
Russell asked why the Times counsel
have access to the book, and Parnell was
denied the same privileges?
Justice Hannen suggested that leading
counsel on both sides should inspect the
book. If they did not agree tnen the
Judges would see it. Other policemen testi-
fed concerning outrages.
Inspector Davis said he had discovered
that there was an inner circle of the League
which organized Fenians to execute the
Leagues behests.
Cross-examined he declined to give the
name of his informant Reid pressed him
for the name. and the witness finally said
the man who gave him the information
was not in the wey of the police. He was
member of the League, and had taken
part in the work of the inner circle.
Sir Charles Russell applied to the Times
counsel to inclose in their particulars the
letter purporting to be signed y"O'Kelly"
Attorney-General Webster opposed the
inclusion of the letter, on the ground that
it was an attempt on the part of Messrs.
Lewis to obtain information to which they
were not entitled.
Justice Hammer reserved his decision.
The Government accepted the clause
proposed by Mr.. Healy, exempting the pur-
chaser from all liabilities for rent arrears

man John R. Thomas of Illinois, Congress-

ator Allison of Iowa.
The visit of Senators Allison and Spooner
bore the appearance of having been prear-
ranged, as Senator Spooner came from
Washington, while Allison came from
Iowa, en- route to Washington. Their ap-
pearance in the city put the newspaper
correspondents in futler and both the
distinguished men were constantly be-
sieged for information, but the correspond
ents found them rather dry picking, and
exceedingly uncommunicative touching

THE POPE AND IRELAND.
Confirmation of the Report Concerning
Second Papal Reseript.

DUBLIN, November 27th.-The report that
a second Papal rescript had been sent to
the Irish Bishops fortnight ago is now
confirmed. 1t was intended that the re-
ceipt of the document should not be made
known, but that the Bishops should pro-
ceed to enforce the commands contained in
the first rescript without anuding to the
existence of the second one. The plan
was spoiled through The indiscretion of
servant of the Bishop of Limerick, who
divulged part of the contents of the re-
script. 1t is probable that the publication
of part of the document will force the
Pope to reaffirm publicly his wishes re-
garding Ireland.

Chlebone admitted reluctantly that he
was an Anarchist and had drilled with the
Lehr and Wehr Verein in the old days be-

he had gone TO Capek's house to receive in
structions in the art of making dynamite.
He paid two dollars for the lesson, but did
not learn anything. He SAID Hronek told
him on the trip to Riverside that he was
the man who threw the bomb at Hay
market. At first Chlebone did not believe
this, but after he saw the bombs in
Hronek's possession he thought it was the
truth, and few weeks later he told attor-
nep Fischer about it. He had told no one
else prior to this.
At this point an adjournment was taken

He said thatif no better opportunity offered

on them, and if this failed he had re-
