Organization of the Twelfth General A..
sembly Of the X. of L. Perfected--.An-
nual Reports to Consume the Time for
the Next Two Days---The Opposition to
Powderly as General Master Workman,
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Is. AT the
morning session the knights of Labor
heard the reports Of the general officers
and committees, but nothing will be
given out until the session ends The
annual report of General Easter Work
man Powderly will not l.r delivered un-
til late in the day, owing to the non-ar-
rival of the printed copies. These re-
ports will probably take up all of the
time for two days.
The appeal OF Thomas B. Barry for q
hearing was sent by him to the general
assembly, and their action on it will be
awaited by him before he does anything
further.
Other opposition to Powderly is based
more on claim of weakness in manage
ment than OH such allegations as have
been made by Barry. Still this opposi--,
tion is scarcely in form to fight him, ant,,
he will doubtless be reelected witho, y
trouble. in case he will accept, which ~
one of his friends will say.
One talking delegate opposes Powderly
because he has no backbone, and be-
cause he is influenced by that band of
corr,lptionists from New York who had
been the bane Of the order since the
Richmond convention" He further
says that ''in a general way Powderly
makes good master workman, but he
has given the order away several times
at Chicago and Cohoes, and history will
prove that even the Southwest strike
was given away by Tom Mcclure and
Charley Litchman, inspired by Pow
derly.". However, this same delegate
comedies Powderly's election. w. T.
Lewis, of Pittsbur6, is PowderIys chief
opponent. He is chief executive of the
Miners association, comprising $4,000
members, and his organization is liable
to withdraw at their meeting in Deem
Der unless action agreeable to their
wishes is taken at this time.

SUCCESSFUL POUNDING

SUCCESSFUL POUNDING
NJ. E. Church Parsonage, Nov IA, sSS.
To the Editor of The Wahpeon Times.
DEAR SIR. When man with
his wife and children are "Pounded''
all the way from home to church
and back again, it is not a thing
calculated to draw out expressions
of appreciation, but after carful de-
liberation we conclude that we
rather enjoy it.
Endevoring also to practice what
we preach we feel that we can over
look the deed and that we can say
really good things about those who
so treated" us.
These itinerants conclude that
"the lines have falIen' to them .sin
pleasant places,' and also that the
people OF Wahpeton know how to
get up a surprisingly pleasant SUR
prise and carry 1T successfully
through: thanks are extended to the
kind friends in and out of the
church and churches who so kindly
labored and contributed to the
pleasure and profit of the occasion
and to all who by their presence ex-
pressed their interest in us, and in
the cause represented by
Your humble Servent
MIR. and Mrs. J. w. MOWER.

of pioneers, many of whom were pre-
sent. After prayer, Elizabeth Cady

BERLIN, March 3!.-[Copyright, 1888,

The Emperor slept eight hours last
night, almost without a break. His
official work, to-day, was unusually
prolonged. In the afternoon he took a
dri1e lasting an hour, and was received
with enthusiasm and ringing huZzas
along the route. The weather was ex-
tremely mild, and the carriage was
driven slowly. The Emperor was fully
seen. He looked well, the only trace of
his illness being waxy complexion.
Despite the semblance of health and in
creased vital power, the German expert
opinion, tDat the disease will have
an early and fatal effect, is still IN
altered.
The ProgreSsiSt hopes for the speedy
introduction of liberal reforms under
Emperor Frederick. Though chilled by
Bismarck in tone, his proclamations
have been revived by the prospects of a
prolongation of his lie.
The Conservative papers say the Pro-
gressist programme overlooks the per-
manent physical disability of the En-
peror, and the fact that at the last
council of ministers and other high Off
GERS of state, after Bismarck had stated
formally his home and foreign policy,
the Emperor intimated his entire &C
quiescence and complete confidence in
the great minister.
The sudden changes in the position of
the French political party has awak-
ened apprehensions for the immediate
future. Boulangeris now felt 10 be no
spectral shadow, but substar force,
threatening the peace of / -ps. Ii
the dissatisfaction Of the Chant pro-
duces strong Boulanger party, 1t will
be taken here as equivalent to popu-
lar vote for war, and the conveRiences
of the French to begin it will not be
awaited. This entire press of the coun-
try realizes the danger of the position.
The National Zeittsng hopes the Cham
b.r of Deputies will yet find way to
save the State from the war party, hut
despairs of the Republic, unless Presi-
dent Carnot can obtain a strong min
istry having programme OF peace. No
paper in Germany or Austria, however
radical, has the slightest sympathy with
the Boulanger movement.
The temporary faith Of the German
people in the Russian peace protests is
vanishing. Authoritative dispatches
pronounce Russian action imminent.

The proposed line of steamers be.
tween Yokohama and Mexico, by a
syndicate known as Nippon Yusen
Karsha, is the subject of numerous
articles in the Japanese papers. The
japanese Gazette, treating of the mat
ter. says: I'VE believe the negotia
tons. SO far from having been failure.
may be said to have only begun"
MGtnchi Shimbun, another Yokohama
journal, mentions that Mr.. Talbot. sec
rotary of the company. has been IN
negotiation with the Mexican Pacific
Navigation Company. and had also in
terviewed the president of the republic.
The paper states that the Nippon Yusen
Karsha is the largest steamship COM
pany in Asia. being without rival so
far as its capital is con- erned. and the
special support which is afforded it by
the government is incomparsb'y great.
The paper says, further, that it must be
remembered that the treaty between
Mexico and Japan is Of the first import
ance, in order TO run steamers between
the two countries, and it intimates that
the treaty can be arranged and the line
be established.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 81. - Brown,
from the committee on commerce, re-
ported the bill for the establishment of
a quarantine station at San Francisco,
committee of the whole.
In the consideration of the morning
hour, the discussion was resumed upon
the Union Pacific railroad bill.
The measure was opposed by Ander-
son. of Iowa. He said the career of the
Pacific Railroad Companies had been
criminal and that they had ROBBED the
treasury of hundreds of millions of
dollars. In reference to the Union Pa
citic, he declared that, SO far from being
under q new management, the direction
of the road, to-day, was in the hands Of
and controlled by the old Creditor
Mobilier gang.
DalzeIl, of Pennsylvania, advocated
the passage of the bill. He said the
problem was how to collect the govern
ment debt and at the same time punish
those who were deserving of punish
ment. Referring to the Credit Mo-
bilier scandal, be denied that the
men who controlled the Union Pa
oiic at that time were the same
as controlled it to day. The passage OF
the bill would bring into the Treasury
of the United States sum amounting
to $ll0 900 600. He could not be per-
suaded that the intelligent masses Of
this country would not visit with con-
dign punishment the members of Con-
gress who, with such a glitteIing posi-
biIity within their reach, would sacrifice
il to the fanciful Vindication of public
justice at the expense OF the public
purse.
The morning hour having expired,
the bill went upon the calendar, as
unfinished business, and the House
proceeded to the consideration of bills
reported by the committee on private
land claims. Several private lsnd
measures were passed, and the House
went into committee of the whole upon
the bill to establish United States land
court, to provide for judicial settlement
of private land claims in Arizona, New
Mexico and Colorado.
McCreary, of Kentucky; Joseph, of
New Mexico, and Symmes, of Colorado,
favored the measure, and Smith, of
Arizona, and Payson, of Illinois, OPP
posed it.
Pending further discussion, the COM
mittee rose.
A bill was reported and placed on the
calendar, for the erection of public
building at Saginaw Michigan.
Blanchard reported tee river and
harbor appropriation bill, and it was
referred to the committee of the whole.

The Minority's Denunciation.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 31.-A Wash
ington special to the Courier-Jour9aal
says: The report OF the minority OF
the ways and means committee, drawn
up by Mckinley, against the passage Of
the Mills bill, attacks vigorously the
free list. vehemently denounces free
wool and free tin plate. 1t says, re-
garding wool, that the first effort in the
direction of free trade is aimed at the
organized farmers of the country, who,
far removed from the centres of trade
and unadvised that their interests were
to be dealt an unfriendly blow, are to
be the first victims of the British
policy. This is large interest; few in
The country are larger. Free wool will
be of no permanent benefii to the IL anu
facturer or consumer, but positive
loss to botn, and great loss to flock
masters and those depending upon them
for employment. The decay of the
sheep industry in this country would
be a national calamity. The report
asserts that the great business interests
of the country, so largely represented
by the manufacturers were treated
with silent contempt and over the ear
nest protest of the minority these in
terests were not as much as allowed the
right of petition guaranteed to every
American citizen.

PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-Claus
Spreckels was engaged nearly all of to-

vania Warehousing and Safe Deposit

fiuer. In company with Pemberton.
Spreckels visited several points along
the Delaware river. examining them
with reference to their availability as a
site for q sugar refinery, should that
structure be finally decided upon. No
definite conclusion was reached in this
respect, but, early in the day, Spreckels
telegraphed to Baltimore FOR his en-
gincer and draughtsman. and they
reached here this evening. One of
Philadelphia merchants. prominently
interested, believes that Philadelphia is
to be the scene of operations. No
positive declaration, however, has yet
been made by Spreckels.

Those Improper Records

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Before the
subcommittee of the House military
committee, to-day, Chief Clerk Doug
las, Of the Adjutant.General's Office,
continued his testimony relative to the
alleged insertion of improper mater in
the Rebellion records. He read Twelve
names of pension persons which had
been inserted in the list of members of
the Fifteenth Pennsylvania, present at
the battle of Murfreesboro. Upon
looking over the muster rolls, witness
found that these twelve persons were
marked absent from the regiment,
having been promoted to lieutenants.
The names had been inserted in the list
by clerk named Woods, in the in

that he had Inserted them to make

captains had been put on by a clerk in

made up the roll. He no doubt did it

Postal POinfa.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Post
master-General, in the revised estimates
of the postal expenditures, says: "The
large and continuing growth of the
postal business necessitates con-
siderable increases. The item
for hire of clerks in post
offices is increased to $4,000 600. The
estimate for rent, light and fuel for
postoffices is increased to $575, 900. The
estimate for the free delivery service is
increased to a total of $60O0,00O.'
Touching the special facilities in the
railway mail service, the Postmaster
General says, IN his view, the special
appropriations do not conduce to the
advantage of the service, for the reason
that they are not sufficient for proper
