How Assemblies Are Being Gradually Won

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.--George Schilling and
five Others are reorganizing the secret
Knights of Labor. They pick out ten anti
Powderly men in an assembly, and form a
Knights of Labor secret assembly. then they
gradually win over their former associates,
and, when a majority is secured return to
the old assembly and vote it away from Pow
derly and the executive board
A private circular of the conspirators
has fallen into the hands of the Herald 1t
says
DEAR SIR-In reply to your letter / beg
to state it is our intention to rebound the
original order. The objects for which the
order was founded we find, after nearly
twenty years experience, has been diverted
from the original intent and their early pur-
poses are ignored We started with tho in
tention of accomplishing three things: First
to agitate; second, to organize; third, to ed
ucate ourselves and fellow workingmen. We
consider the first of these purposes has alone
been accomplished, the second only partially
so, and the third has been entirely over
looked, if not fully neglected
Had the organization been thorough and
complete the present disintegration of
forces would not have taken place. Those
who have always opposed the educational
feature of the order have sought to arrest
this disintegration, and perhaps disguise
their selfish incompecency by starting the
cry Of education, in order to raise revenue.
"We believe i'll secrecy, and SO do those
who hypocritically profess to oppose it. We
are convinced that the present disruption Of
the order has arisen because of the de-
parture from the original method Of select
ing members. These tactics have been to
elect no matter whom, in order to swell the
numbers; hence the disintegration Of the
order and the defeat of our purpose.
"We have seen what extrav agance has
been practiced in the past. Men have left
useful employments to live as parasites upon
the pennies contributed by workers. They
have used the order as a means of escaping
from the ranks of the useful producers to
become useless consumers We are deter
mined to prevent this in future We are of
the opinion that a man who will not devote
his time to the cause of labor's ameloration
for the same wages which he receives from
his boss is not the man who is desirous of
helping his fellowman. II money be his
only object, let him devote his services to
those who can pay the best. Devotion, not
dollars, must be the standard of measure
ment of manhood of our members.
''In concluding this necessarily long epis-
tie we would suggest that when you have
selected sufficient number of persons, at
least ten, who believe in the ideas herein
enunciated, we will communicate with you
as to the method of founding an assembly
upon proper notification of the above Re
spectfully and fraternaliy, -.

SAMOAN MATTERS
Slow Tactics Adopted in Regard
to the Conference.
BAYARD's ANSWER TO BISMARCK
SENT TO BERLIN BY MAIL.

The Conference May Not BE Held Until
After the on-Reinforcements
Believed to Have Been Sent to samoa
BY Germany in the l,Ieantime to Punish
aEataafa.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun tele-
graphs his paper as folIcs regarding the
proposed conference at lEsie. on Samoan
4nattors;
It looks now very much as If the Samoan
conference at Berlin will not be held by rep
resentatiycs Of the present administration.
Count Arco-Valley, the German minister,
has calel upon Secretary Bayard and in
formed him that the latter's answer to Bis
marck's proposal for a conference had been
sent 10 Berlin by mail. 1t will reach Berlin
about the Goth. The German foreign Office
will probably take several days to consider
Mr.. Bayard's suggestions, and its answer, if
sent by mail would hardly reach this coun-
try before the beginning of the Harrison
regime,
There would seem to be no good reason
why the correspondence should not have
been conducted by telegraph, except on the
supposition that Prince Bismarck's resort to
the mails is simply trick to gain time, in
which to punish the Samoans before the ne
gotiations at Berlin are begun.
In well-informed quarters here there is a
strong suspicion that Germany has already
sent reinforcements to Samoa, to revenge
the killing of number of officers and men
i'll the recent fight with Mataafa and it is
not at all unlikely that we will ultimately
hear Of another bloody battle.
If, however, Prince Bismarck is playing
fair and accepts Mr.. Bayard's proposal of a
truce in good faith, commissioner will be
sent by Mr.. Bayard to represent this coun-
try at Berlin, provided, of course, Prince
Bismarcls reply is received in time. Minis
ter Pendleton, though much improved III
health, is hardly strong enough to conduct
the negotiations A hitch in the matter
aside from the delay of correspondence by
mail may arise from Bismarcks unwilling
ness to accept Mr. Bayard's proposal that
instructions to suspend belligerent action
in Samoa" be telegraphed at once to the Ger
man agents and the representatives of the
other treaty powers.
1t is thought to be quite possible that Bis
marck will insist upon reprisals by way of
asserting German prestige in the Pacific and
satisfying the National pride, which has been
touched in tender spot by the defeat of the
German landing party by Mataafa, Mr..
Bayard, however, has made most vigorous
protest against such a course, and has al
ready limited that it would be scarcely worth
while to hold the conference unless Germany
gives practical evidence Of a sincere desire to
promote the restoration of peace in the
islands by foregoing her desire for ven
gGance

JOLIET, Ill, Feb ia day or two ago
J. L. O'Donnell started in on a little investi-
cation concerning the court record in this
county of .LeCaron, the British spy. The
lawyer found that when LeCaron applied for
his naturalization papers here, he gave Henri
LeCaron as his real name; also that he was a
native of France, and renouncing his al
legiance to the emperor of France. In three
places where he should have signed the
affidavit he failed to do so, but the clerk
swore him to these facts, and LeCaron APP
peared before Judge McRoberts in thr cir
cult court October 30 1867, and swore to
these facts. The witness was Samuel G..
Stearns. As LeCaron, in his testimony, has
sworn that his name was Beach, and that he
was born in Colchester, England, Mr..
O'Donnelrs investigations have branded him
as Il pcrjurer

The Spy's Attempt to Entrap the Master
workman.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.--Powderly says
former, is cold-blooded william of the worst
type. No one should put the slightest faith
in whatever revelations the wretch might
make even under oath. Nearly three years
ago he made an unsuccessful attempt to en-
trap Powderly in conspiracy, as the follow
ing letter sent to Powderly by LeCaron
from the Southern hotel, St. Louis, April g.
1885, and now made public for the first time,
will show:
"At such time as this few words of adj
vice and encouragement may be of service
to you, and may solve the very difficult
problem so suddenly thrust before you. A
peaceful, law-abiding strike will never con-
quer such power as you now have to deal
with. Moral suasion becomes of no use when
applied to such gold hearted fiends as jay
Gould. You must touch his pocket, and
meet force with force. You must not be
expected to publicly countenance any but
peaceful measures. You will not even know
that any other has been resorted to. All
you need to do will be to give me the names
of a few of your heutenants along the Mis-
souri, Pacific road and l will attend to the
rest.
"Name only those in whom you can place
implicit confidence and will place in their
hands material that will, if properly
handled, destroy every bridge and culvert
on the road / have made a study of explo-
sives and can give you an unfailing remedy
for the wrongs your members complain of.
All you need to Do viii be to write the names
have asked for on blank space ON this
sheet, return it tome without your name,
even, and | will manage the rest. 1 know
you by reputation for years and can trust
you. All | ask in return is your confidence,
and, in return, l promise most satisfactory
results"
Powderly took no notice of the communi-
cation further than to file it away and warn
the men engaged in the southwestern strike
to avoid LeCaron. Powderly sent a copy of
the letter to Michael Davitt

IF NOT, SHE'LL BE AN EASY PREY TO
MOST ANY NATION.

LONDON, Feb 15.--There is strong prob
ability that the lot of the lower class OF
Englishmen is not to be so easy os unevent-
fula one in the future as it-.taeSeen in the
past Lord Wolseley in his after dinner
speech at Birmingham the other day only
stated what many Englishmen of high in
telligence have thought for years, that if
England is to be anything but a convenient
prey for the first strong continental power
that has, or fancies it has, a grievance
against her she must introduce compulsory
military service.
Her farm laborers and town workingmen
must be taught the use of arms at as early
an age as feasible, and they must grow up
with the knowledge that they are likely to
be called upon at any moment to defend
their homes from foreign invasion.
As things are now any disciplined army of
upon English soil could lay London under
contribution, and exact peace on the most
humilating terms. IT,, militia of 12O, 900
are more familiar with the yardstick or tho
pen than the rifle, and very little could be
expected of them.
The danger is, as Lord Wo.selav Sees that
the bone and sinew of the country, the agri-
cultural classes, the miners, such wandering
AL 4Io
mills and along the wharves, the former
pride and mainstay of EnglAad, her boasted
yeomanry, the very men who should be
drilled from their youth, are precisely the
ones who grow up ignorant of the use of
arms, and who by birth, habit and associa-
ton are antagonistic to the class of which
the militia is constituted.
The situation would be ludicrous were it
less serious To order the British farm
laborer or city workman to devote the spare
time to compulsory drill, which he would
fain employ in rabbit coursing, skittles or
convivial pleasures, would provoke riots
which could be quelled by no ordinary
means.
The fact is that the English subject has
grown up in the belief that it is the bounden
duty of the navy to preserve the soil of Eng
land from INVASION, ana SET OF men more
untitled for and averse to the use of arms
and the discipline of the ranks does not ex-
ist in any civilized country, notwithstanding
the fact that the raw material from which
soldiers are formed is abundant and of very
good quality too.
Prince Bismarck spoke perhaps better than
he intended when he told Lord Charles
Beresford that England should prepare for
possible conflict. He meant it as warn
ing against suppositious French schemes of
conquest, but Boulangism is less to be
dreaded by England than other more i'm
mediate dangers, for such men as Lords
Wolseley and Beresford know full well that
there are weak spots in her armor every

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 15.-Kokomo Divis-
ion, No. 8, Uniformed Rank, Knights Of
Pythias, has been suspended by Supreme
Chancellor of the World William Ward for
INSTRUMENTATION. This is one of the most
widely known Of the drill squads of that or
ganization, and has captured many prizes
for proficiency. Last June at the meeting
in Cincinnati of the Supreme Lodge of the
World, drill for large prizes was one of
the features. The judges were officers of the
regular army, detailed by the United States
government to act as such. The first prize
was awarded to The Hastings, Mich, Di-
vision.
The Kokomo knights, instead of protest
ing in a legal way, rushed into print and
made charges rejecting on the honor of the
judges. The supreme chancellor ordered
Kokomo to apologize to the judges, and
gave them thirty days in which to do so.
This Kokomo refused or failed to do, and
the division was suspended until the next
meeting of the supreme lodge. Their only
appeal is to the Supreme Lodge of the
