New Powers of the Master Workman.
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE KNIGHTs-BARRY KEEPS UP HIS AaIrA-
TON.
The afternoon session of the knights con-
veirtion at Indianapolis yesterday was taken up
by the committee on law, with many changes Of
the constitution. Contrary to the recommend
alton of Mr.. Powderly the time of meeting is
unchanged, which is the first action yet taken
against his will. The general master workman
snail hereafter I'LL all vacancies on the board
by appointment, this being new power added
to the office. 1t is now proper for any member
OF the general executive board to approve the
reports OF the secretary treasurer. although
that Was formerly permitted only to the gen.
eral master workman. The general assembly,
so desiring, may hereafter declare vacant any
place on the board, and it can do so without at
the same time, expelling the officer so removed
Before appointment organizers must pass
proper examination. This same committee re-
ported approval of Powderlys denunciation of
the provisional committee.
The resolution indorsing the Industrial Ne,rs
OF Toledo, the paper of J. NJ. Boomer ex-
PEELED yesterday, was withdrawn. The mile
age committee reported the amount to be paid
BY formal vote all decisions of General Mas
ter Workman Powderly since the general as
sembly one year ago were approved.
T; r. Barry has issued formal open letter
to delegates. He says: I'm violation of all law
OF knighthood and Justice, you have denied me
a fair trial or an opportunity to be heard in my
defense and by your action placed yourselves
IN full accord with the unlawful and unwar-
ranted action of the general executive board
| whom had charged with irregularities. and
who: being unable to answer my charges and
rearing to meet me, res0rted to all manner of
intrigue to override the constitution and DENY
to me the right OF a fair trial such as is guar
anteed to every Knight of Labor. Your action
Is contrary to all law and decency
1 can prove that general officer and trustee
OF the orders moneys and property was denied
an itemized account Of $4,000 Of 'poverty's
money can prove that the Journal of
United Labor was used to DESTROY the character
OF a man and district, and that such journal
interceded with an unfair employer to help
them in their knightly work"
Dir. Barry proposes to agitate until the gem
eral assembly OF the Knights of Labor adjourns!
He will then look after the formation of his
new order, which will be called the Brother
hood of United Labor

From the Times, OF INDIA.
A peculiar custom exists among the abort
ginal tribes OF Ranchi. a group of hamlets in
Bengal 1t is known rs the Era Sendra, or wo-
mems hunt. On the present occasion the OBJ
ject was to expel the cholera demon. and il il
usual when any great calamity overtakes the
land for the women to dress themselves I'D in
mems clothes. arm themselves and go out to
hunt, not in the junsles, but in the nearest
villages east of them. They chase pigs and
fowls, and everything they kill is theirs. They
also levy blackmail from the heads Of the vii
lagos for the purchase of liquor The villagers
can not prevent the slaughter OF their animals,
but the headmen generally. compromise mat
tiers by giving the huntresses a pig and paying
small snm. Towards evening the hunting
party retires to neighboring stream, where
they cook and eat the meat and drink the
liquor. They eat nothing after this meal, but
battle and return home. Men are not allowed
to accompany them ON such occasions, and they
conduct themselves for the time being in
very masterfnl and masculine manner.
