EMPLOYERS ON TOP.
Knights OF Labor Dealt . Severe Blow
In Philadelphia.

In Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec $3.50 far as
this city is concerned the strike on the
Reading road is failure. 1t is not
over, but it might as well be. At Port
Richmond alone are the effects of the
strike still seen. Seven hundred coal
freighters who struck yesterday did
not turn up to-day, and very little
work was done there. The officials,
however, declared they always reduced
the force in winter, and that they al.
ways had more applications than
places.
The Knights OF Labor are in most
disorganized state. They have re-
ceived so many conflicting orders
that they obey or disobey as they see
fit. The power of the leader in this
city seems to be gone.
The action of Local Assembly No
1924 composed of employees in the
passenger service in disbanding theil
Assembly, which was done last nigh
rather than obey an anticipated ordel
to strike, is a most serious blow to the
knights of Labor organization. 1t hal
few left here and the men are thor
oughly cowed. Many have refused t.
strike, and prefer to defy their organ
ization rather than their employers.

ADMISSION TO rRE UNION.
Washington Territory and Dakota must
Wait.

walt
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 The an
nexation OF the northern part Of Idaho
to Washington Territory is exciting
some discussion. 1t is pretty well set
tied now that Washington Territory
and Dakota will be admitted into the
Union after the next Presidential cleo
ton, and an enabling act will in all
probability be passed at this session
OF Congress-, providing for that.
Whether the northern part OF Idaho is
to be annexed to Washington Territory
is a question the settlement of which
will naturally preclude any action
upon the admission of Washington
Territory. The delegate from Idaho is
opposed to the annexation of the pan
handle of his Territory to Washington
Territory. Senator Stewart announces
he is opposed to the division of Idaho ;
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, says he
will vote according to the wishes OF
the people OF that Territory, as he
thinks it matter which they should
settle themselves. If the people in the
northern part of Idaho preferred being
annexed to Washington Territory, he
would vote for it, but he would not
! vote for the destruction If the whole
Territory by annexation of the south
ern portion of it to Nevada.

Trip to Bnenos Ayres,

There are many very peculiar facts
connected with ocean travel, especially

by the system of the various lines Of
steamers between certain countries. To
illustrates A few months ago friend of
mine desired to make the speediest trip
possible from New York to Buenos
Ayres, Argentine Republic, South Amer
ica. There is line of steamers run
ming from New York to Buenos Ayres,
but the vessels stop at various ports and
they occupy forty-two days in making
the trip. BY figuring on the time, my
friend found that he could go from
New York to Hamburg, Germany,
where steamers run to Buenos Ayres
without putting in at any ports except
coaling stations, and mako the siHG.c trip
in thirty-two days. He Travelled Ike lat
ter route, gaining ten days in time, al
though travelling several thousand miles
more than on the direct route. &C. L.

cabinet is now discussing the situation.
