Member Indignant at His Arrest.

Member Indignant at His Arrest.
LONDON, November 26.-In commons to
night, Gourley (LiberaD asked, if the cor
respondence on the American fisheries
question was to be produced, whether il
was the intention of the government to ne
gotiate for new commission, and WHETHER
in the meantime, owing to divergence o
legal opinion relative to the meaning of the
treaty of 1918, it was intended to suspend
enforcement OF the provisions.
Sir James Ferguson, Parliamentary Sec
retary of the foreign Office, curtly replied
that the government will not publish any
papers, nor make any statement on the
subject at present. A modus vivendi is in
operation.
Smith, government leader, replying to a
question, intimates that the government
under the present circumstances, was un
able to make any statement regarding the
appointment OF a minister to Wash
ington.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole, and the debate on
THE LAND PURCHASE BILL
was resumed. Parnell proposed an amend
ment to the effect that no money be ad
vanced for the purchase OF more than ont
holding if such holding were rated at no
less than ego yearly.
Balfour contended that the amendment
would interfere with the smooth working Of
the plan of the sale.
David Sheehy, nationalist, member fol
South Galway, stopped the debate, ap
pealing to the the chairman on the ques
ton OF privilege. He stated he was leaving
| the house when an attendant handed hin
what appeared to be an ordinary visiting
card. Upon going into the lobby, a con
stable from Ireland served him with {
summons under the coercion act. IL
moved to report progress in order to Civ
| the house an opportunity 70 discuss thl
audacious breach cf privilege.
| Balfour deplored the incident, and die
not know under what authority it hat
happened.
On motion of Morley. a committee wa
appointed to inquire into the circumstan
ces OF the incident, consisting OF Sir Wn
Harcourt, Mr.. Morley, Sir Charles Russell
Mr.. Parne), Mr.. Timothy Healy. Hom
Secretary Matthews, Mr.. Goschen, MI
Mad den, Sir EdN ard Class, and Matthe,

Pay Flying Visit to Missoula.
MIssouLA, Mont, November 24.-Speciai
to The Miner. ]-Col. W. F. Sanders and
Thomas Fl. Carter arrived here on the late
train, tonight, and left for Helena again
to-day. No one seems to know the reason
OF their flying visit but they spent consid-
erable time at the court house this morn
ing, and it is presumed that they were in
vestigating the poll books and returns Of
the recent election.
Diverse rumors are afoat as to the cause
OF their visit there, and one Republican
was heard to say he thought they were here
making a vain effort to resuscitate the
daily "Item," which sleeps SO well after
life's fitful fever.
Others allege that it was made.ia the ~
terest Of some Helena man who has his eye
on Postmaster Booths boots, but the
Bonner returns are probably the secret of
the matter.

Report that POWderly says He Is Sorry
He Accepted a Re-Election-A Better
Job Offered-A Local Appeal. which
the General Assembly ,Disposes of in a
Queer Manner-The Legislative Com
mittee.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 26.-In the
Knights of Labor convention, this morn
lng the grievance committee occupied the
time. In tie case of the contested dele
cation from District Assembly 40. New
York, that headed by James E. Quinn was
recognized.
Powderly says he is sorry he was re-
elected, as he has been offered a better
job, one paying $4,000 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 pas
sage OF resolution to adjourn the assem-
bly, sine die tomorrow at noon.
The committee OH appeals and grievances
resumed work. The only case OF i'm
portauce considered was that of George
Schilling, who, as Master Workman OF dis
trict assembly "a OF Chicago, suspended
local assembly 400.
THE LOCAL APPEALED
to the General Master Workman and was
by him reinstated. Schilling thereupon ap-
pealed the case to this body, on the ground
that the Master Work man OF the district
assembly and not the General Master
Workman, had Authority to suspend local
assemblies. During the hearing of the case
Schilling vigorously denounced Powderly
on the floor of the assembly. When Schi-
ling concluded his statement, General
Master Workman Powderly took the floor
and argued in Justification OF his action by
claiming that when the dispute arose be-
tween the District Master Workman and
General Master Workman, the latter being
the superior officer, was entitled to author
ity.
The debate being closed, the general as
semby first
REFUSED To SUSTAIN PoWDERLY's ACTION
in renstating the local assembly, and then
refused to indorse Schilling's appeal. By a
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 general officers were in
stalled this afternoon.
Tomorrow the legislative committee will
submit report. 1t is understood Robert
d. Layton and Ralph Beaumont will con.
stitute the new committee on natlonal
legislation, with Lay on as chairman.
The following named cities are applicants
for the place of he lding the next general as
sembly: Toronto, Canada; Atlanta, Ga.
New Orleans; Toledo, o.; Albany, N. Y.
and Providence. R. l. 1t is thought to-
night that either Toronto or Atlanta viii
| be chosen.

he was promoted to the position from the
ranks. With the exception OF the superin-
tendents at San Francisco and Chicago,
none of the old superlntendents are now in

learned local trade societies have not re.
ceived any intimation from Chicago OF the
organization of the eight-hour movementto
be carried through at the convention OF
American Federation OF Labor, which Is to
meet in this city December IL, there is no
doubt than the movement is well under
way.
Circulars explaining and urging it have
been sent out to all organizations supposed

| ably be the leading work Of the conven'
ton. American socialists are pushers OF the

to q focus in 1890, the probable result OF
which will be IL general strike.
