 He faintly nodded his head, by which I perceived he understood me, and said very faintly in English, but with a true French accent, ''This is a hard bed, sir"

 I was very much excited; my former ter TOTS had vanished, but my awe continued great; for felt as if had wrought mir acle, and I trembled as man would who surveys some prodigy of his own creation. It was yet to be learned how long he had been in this condition; but was perfectly sure he had formed one of the schooners peo- pie; and as I had guessed her to have been here upward of fifty years, the notion of that man having lain torpid for half a century held me under perpetual spell of astonish- ment: but there was no more horror in me nor fright He followed me about with his eyes, but did not offer to speak; perhaps he could not. I put a lump of ice into the kettle, and when the water boiled made him a pint of steaming brandy punch, which held to his lips in a pannikin, while supported his back with my knee; he supped it slowly and painfully, but with unmistakable relish, and fetched sigh of contentment as he lay back.

Saturdays Proceedings in the General

Saturdays Proceedings in the General
Assembly, X. of L.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 1Sth.-Master
Workman Powderly showed himself to be
clever tectician at yesterdays session of
the General Assembly of Knights of Labor.
Some delegates are beginning to grumble
at the duration of the Convention, saying
the expenses of the Assembly are coming
too heavy. They also wanted to know how
much mileage was going to be paid, and
said reports are being circulated that they
would have to pay their own bills and rail-
road fares. Some remarks of this charac-
ter were made in the Convention yesterday,
upon which delegate from District AS
sembly No. 300. including the glass workers'
headquarters in Pittsburg, announced that
it had 100000 in cash in the treasury and
that the amount was at the disposal of sthe
General Assembly if it should be needed.
Five thousand dollars was planked down as
a starter. but no Limitation at this amount
was even hinted.
Powderly said this was an opportunity to
test the fidelity of the delegates He asked
all those who believed in doing something
for the order TO stand up. More than half
the delegates arose aid called out the
amount they would be willing to pledge
tbs general organization from the Golfers of
their different assemblies. All told Sl50,000
was placed ct the disposal of the order, and
as much more than this as might be
needed to relieve the stringency. The ar
rangement put all the malcontents in a
good humor and suddenly converted them
into strong Powderly supporters.
The Committee on Appeals reported in
favor of sustaining the General Board in
expelling Thomas Barry, of Michigan. A
long debate ensued, but the report was
adopted by vote of J23 to "a.
This was another signal victory for Pow
derly. Barry declares the fight is not vet
over and violently denounces Powderly
and the latter's friends.

might be taken to prevent them from hay
ing representation at this Convention"
He then takes up Powderly's general de-
nial of the charges and reiEerates his
ability to prove all he has said. claiming
that Powderly knows this and fears to let
him address the General Assembly. He
says of his trial by the General Executive
Board, whom he had accused of wrong
doing:
" The constitution disqualifes interested
parties, and with all the brazen effrontery
with which they are endowed, they surely
will not claim that they were not inter-
ested, incompetent and unfit to sit in iudg-
ment when they themselves were the ac-
cused villains"
He denies ever having anything to do with
the Provisional Committee, and repeats
that he was expelled for telling the
truth" Being charged with plundering,
he says: Il invite an investigation of their
actions and mine, and Court of law would
be good place for them to prove their
charge of plunder against me-"
He closes with denial of the charge
that he had not been member of the Or
der since last spring, having been mem
Der of lapsed Local Assembly, and that
he had fraudulently obtained money from
the General Treasury
Although Barry's future actions are not
yet clearly known, delegates and close
friends of Powderly profess to have no fear
of anything ne may attempt to do. If he
undertakes to start new order it cannot
be predicted how strong it will be. He be-
lieves he will have a big popular following,
and says one thing that will be required in
such an order will be strict honesty. Cos
sip has been freely INDUCED in among the
delegates to-day. but in substance it differs
little from what has already been stated in
these dispatches.

INDIANAPOLIS, November lSth.-Thomas

peating his former statements against the

New York, charged with smuggling opium,
was followed last night by the arrest here
OF William Lund and Edward Millinger,
Americans, and Cheng Lee, All Eung and
Lo Haw, Chinese laundrymen. charged
with being accomplioes of the New York
Chinaman. When Quong Yuen was ar
rested it was believed in New York that
the opium found there came from Buffalo,
and the officials here went out on the
scent They were soon satisfied that the
opium was smuggled across the border at
the Suspension Bridge, and that the men,
bers of the gang who acted as "placers'
were Cinnamon, yet no Celestials were de-
tected crossing from Canada By patient
work they were located and lodged in jail.
Inspector Reynolds says that young
white men for several months have been
smuggling cans of opium in by trains
crossing the international bridge, conceal
ing them under their clothing. For each
can they receive rs cents Lund is said 10

Treasury officials decline to give any reason
for the suspension of Quincy Brooks, Col.
lector of Customs at Port Townsend, w.
T., except that he has not discharged the
duties OF his office to the satisfaction of the

was implicated in any opium-smuggling
frauds. General incompetency is the only
charge made against him. The admins
tration of the customs service at Port
Townsend has been under surveillance of
Treasury Agents for several months past
The reports of smuggling at this port
were too definite to be overlooked, and the
proximity of Port Townsend to Vancouver
B. c., where it is believed great quantities
of opium have been brought in without
paying duty, and thence shipped East to
be distributed via the Canadian Pacific
Railway naturally brought the customs Of
