The Pan-American Delegates.

Boston, Oct. THE delegates to the
Pan-American congress left here this
morning for a visit to Lawrence and
Lowell. They return here later and will
continue their journey. At Lawrence the
delegates inspected the Pacific Cotton
mills and Lowell Paper mills. They
evinced deep interest in the workings. The
party started for Lowell at 30
The party returned here in the early
evening. They visited three concerns in
Lowell and saw 5000 operatives at work.
To-day has been the first one of solid bust
ness upon the lines and within which the
international congress was projected. The
foreigners, in several instances. have placed
themselves in closer relation with the man
ufacturing interests they have visited
They have carefully and shrewdly observed
what they have seen, and they have talked
of prices, terms and business methods with
the heads of the establishments visited.
Mexico, for instance indicated her interest
in carpets, and Costa RIGA has scrutinized
prints with business purposes. The party
dined aboard the train while re
turning to Boston from Lowell,
and upon their arrival here were driven to
the theatre, where the evening was spent.
VIM. E. Curtis, who, under direction of
the state department, is in charge of the
expedition, has received great number of
kilograms from cities which are impor-
tunate that the train and it's occupants
shall stop for inspection and entertain
ment. Curtis desires through the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches to answer all these
cities speedily, that the route has been
carefully laid out and every moment of
time allotted is so utterly filed that no
possible deviation can be made from the
already announced programme. This is

The New AtchisOn Plan.

BosToN, Oct. 1.-THE News bureau says
tonight: 1.-THE Atchison directors Satur-
day were unanimous in the approval of the
organization presented by the special com
mittee and few details only remain to be
perfected. The plan will not contain any
Morrison report, nor anything like it, for
Morrison's report was made only for the
information of parties at work to save the
property. The plan has not been modified
save in the direction of the meeting
''The generally expressed desire was to
have fewer incomes at a higher rate. The
first general per cent. mortgagewill probably
be drawn for less than $4,000, with
the right to increase it for mileage
at the rate of per mile for
single track, andssthe rate of - per
mile for double track. The income bonds
will probably be limited to $4,000 at 5 per
cent. Fixed charges, including taxes, will
by this plan be less than SS,000,000 instead
of as at present about 81, 100000. The in
come will have a very considerable value
at the start, with a.prospect of being worth
par in few years with fair crops and fair
railroad rates. If in sixty days the plan
has not been adopted, the security holders
and creditors can seek their rights under
the law, but the plan is so far just and has
been so far unanimously Endorsed that its
partial acceptance by all interested may be
expected

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Secretary Noble
to-day rendered an important decision in
the case of Samuel r. Childs VS.. the South
ern Pacific railway company. Childs ap-
piled to make a homestead entry. which
was rejected by the local officers at the Los
Angeles land district in California on tho
ground that the tract was within the
primary limits of the grant to the railroad
company of July %, 1866. The case came to
the secretary on appeal from a decision by
the commissioner of the general land Office,
which affirmed the action of the local office
in rejecting the application on the ground
that the tract was embraced at the date
when the company's rights attached under
it's grant as within the extension
boundaries, or claimed limits, OF GER
tain Mexican private land grants known
as the San Jacinto Viejo and San
Jarcinonedo, and being by final survey and
definite location of said grants, subse-
quently made, excluded from the limits
thereof and thereby restored to the public
domain, was subject to homestead entry at
date when the appellants application to
enter the same was made to the United
States.
The secretary, in his decision to-day,
holds the grants named were floats en-
braced within the outside limits of the lar
ger area, and if such larger area lies within
the limits of said land grant made in aid Of
the railroad, such land grant would take
effect except as to the quantity of the land,
or float, actually granted in the Mexican
grant; and if that quantity, lying together,
was left to satisfy the Mexican grant, the
railroad would be entitled to patents for
the odd sections of the remainder. The
action of the general land Office is therefore
affirmed. This decision follows that of the
supreme court in the cose of the United
States VS. Mclaughlin, rendered May Il,
1855, aud practically overruled ali previous
decisions of the interior department in
similar cases.

northwest wind which futtered the flags

along the line of march which will be fol-
lowed by the Knights Templar tomorrow,
proved rather a cold welcome to the visit
ing communicates, when they arrived to-
day, but the warm reception which they
received from the crowds on the streets
acted as an offset to the inclemency of the
weather. The district Communicates were
busily engaged to-day in escorting the ar

Tonight trains are constantly arriving
bringing the Knights and their friends
Everything is orderly and well arranged
aud there is but little noise and confusion.
Quarters have been engaged for $4,000

least fifteen thousand persons viii be in

PowderlY ON Sunday saloons.

CHICAGO, Oct Give thousand people
were present at meeting at Central Music
hall this afternoon, the feature, which was
an address by General Master of Workman
Powderly of the Knights of Labor. Sunday
closing of saloons was the topic announced
for discussion. Mr.. Powderly was greet I'd
with tempest of applause. His remarks
on Sunday closing were emphatic and
pointed enough to elicit repeated outbursts
of applause from the most radical of his
hearers.
He afterwards spoke of the charges he
made so effective reply to at ST. Louis.
He added that if any of the Chicago people
were not satisfied, he was perfectly willing
to have them appoint committee of three
honest men to investigate his affairs.
On the 14th inst. Mr.. Powderly will go
to Philadelphia, where he will hold a CON
ference with the chiefs of the Federation
of Labor in regard to the manner of pre-
senting the eight hour question to the next
general assembly. Mr.. Powderly thinks,
as he always has, that there should be a
shorter working day than now, but that it
will never be brought about by strikes. To
his mind arbitration is the only way He
thinks the Federation is receding from its
radical position on this question.

Phillips and his crowd, after they had killed
Vance, like so many Indians, robbed hun of
his personal effects.
A warrant was issued for Phillips and
the sheriif summoned posse of seven or
eight men to execute it. But Phillips and
his friends overpowered the posse and IA
tally wounded Bill Dempsey, one of the
number. AS Dempsey was expiring he
begged that he might be left to die in peace,
but Phillips deliberately blew his brains
out. This was in 1887.
A dreadful pause of two years elapses.
Then comes the final chapter in this serial
of blood. Already the triple murder of
last Tuesday night has been fully tele-
graphed to the Examiner When the end
shall come, no one in ''Murderland" pre-
tends to know. Official interference
hitherto has only aggravated the ills sought
to be cured. In twenty-five years in bad
Anse's territory there has not been one
conviction for murder. The vendetta re-
opens supreme and will continue to reign
until the last of The Hatfields and McCoys
have passed away or until the light of some
higher civilization shall have penetrated
the gloom that hangs in the terrible noun

The Boyle Rape Case.

tSpecal to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch ]
RALEIGH, n. c., Oct There is great
diversity of opinion here about the verdict
in the Boyle rape case, and feeling runs
high over his death sentence. Boyle is in
good spirits, and said Saturday night and
yesterday that he would not be hanged
He has thirty days in which to prepare his
case for the supreme court. His counsel
will try to get new trial and will argue
that side issues and illusions to Boyle's
appearance were used to affect the jury. 1t
is thought that Boyle's own evidence,
which was certainly in many respects I'M
real and improbable, did more than any
thing else to convict him. Boyle's speech
at midnight Saturday night certainly
caused unbounded sensation. 1t was the
sole topic of conversation here yesterday.
Boyle spoke rapidly, eloquently and in an
mpassioned manner, saying he knew that
able lawyers had conducted the prOsecu-
ton, but there was a strong prejudice
against Roman Catholics which had
worked against him powerfully, and that
counsel had unfairly aroused this prejudice
by making statements respecting the power
of the priests which were not properly put
in argument. He said that one of the
states counsel reminded him of the prohi-
bitiOn orators he had heard in Illinois, men
who believed and said that all men who
differ from them in habits or belief, are
eternally damned He said that it had been
urged against him that he was drunkard,
whereas he was not addicted to liquor, and
had merely on one occasion become some

at hotel here. He paid for the
wine himself, and any argument, he
added, against DIR Inkenness came with

Of his vows on chastity and for playing
cards with a negro prisoner in the jail, she,
he declared, was the discarded mistress of
this attorney. He said he had all his life

them so long as God spared his life He
paid the states solicitor, r. a. Hagh, a
compliment for his powerful argument,
and the general conduct of the prosecution,

Anlnteryiew With Devil Anse. -

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Shortly after the
murder of Dempsey by Phillips, Mr.. T. C.
Crawford, distinguished journalist of
New York, visited murder land'' and OBJ
tanned an interview with Devil Anse' in
his log fort on Tug river.
Bad Anse is described by Mr. Crawford
as bearing a marked resemblance to Stone
wall jackson. He was of powerful frame
with broad shoulders, deep chested but
with a curve to his shoulders peculiar to
the mountain type. Although fifty years
of age, he mad not single gray hair in his
thick brown hair, mustache and beard.
His gray eyes eyes were set under the
deepest of bushy eyebrows and his nose
was such an enormous hook as to suggest
the lines of a Turkish cimiter When
asked by Mr.. Crawford if he had ever been
personally present at any of the killings,
he remarked candidly enough: "No man
who was there would tell any one if he
was.n
Then Mr.. Crawford boldly put this ques-
ton to the great outlaw, MIR Hatfield, l
want to ask you about your ideas about
killing. There is no one in this commu-
nifty who has ever charged you with having
killed anyone for the pleasure of it." Said
Anse quickly: II don't believe they have. u
But if they were to kill any mem Der of
your family in a fair fight, what would you
dol"
well, I reckon" was the reply, ~
should get away with them just about as
soon as could.''
THAT is your idea, then.'
"Yes, sir. Any man that wants to try
it, he will find it out.''
When asked why so many shots were
fired during the vendetta without effect
when the men of both families were so
handy at shooting at marks, Hatfield re
piled in this wise: Human Yermin is the
most cooricus and most cunningest var
mint that is. When he goes into fight he
turns his body sidewise, so that there is
presented for the bullet only four inches
space and even that doesn't hold up fair
square. He just keeps a lodging and
friskin about and so when bullets come
along they don't find him. That's the only
way | can account for it
Anse did not admit being a religious
man. II belong to no church" said he,
unless you say that l belong to the one
great church of the world. If you like,
you eau say it is the DEVILS church that
belong to- and then he laughed as if he
hugely enjoyed his joke
The manners of the Hatfields are of the
most primitive kind. Such an article as
soap is absolutely unknown in the history
of the family. Guests just before dinner
are invited to WASH in a passing stream
about twenty feet from the house Men,
women and children and guards all sleep in
the same room. The men are generally
seated about the fire and ignore, according
to the etiquette of the place, the retiring
of the women to their pallets. The girls
go to bed first and they are always up first
in the morning. Each member of the hap
Ply family is divided off by Winchesters.

Allen, United States consul at Kingston
Jamaica, of the recent riot at Navassa. II
agrees with the press accounts already
published and has in addition letter from
Rev. Hensel, spiritual adviser of the labor
ers, giving their version of the trouble.
The letter is addressed to the American
consul at Kingston. Jamaica. They declare
the whites fired on them without provOca-
ton, and it was in defense of their lives
that they killed some of their white bosses.
They say the American citizens are 1876 in
number and want the consul to arrange
for their transportation back to the United
States
