NEWARK, March Z, 1SS9-The determi
nation of certain members to expel the
Knights of Labor from the organization
developed a lively row last evening at
the meeting of the Trades Assembly.
After Others had declined the position,
Delegate j. E. Means of the Cigar Makers
Union, consented to act as chairman. Dele
gate Haines lost no time in calling up the
amendment to the bylaws providing for
the expulsion of the Knights
A delegate from the German Typo
graphical Union, moved to table the
amendment. Mr.. Haines objected, and
asked for its adoption. Delegate O'Brien,
of the Laborer's Union, opposed the
amendment, alleging that the delegates
from the Seth Boyden Association were
good labor men and had always assisted
the assembly. Delegate Dooner deemed it
would be beneficial to separate the knights
and the assembly.
''The Knights of Labor delegates reeog-
nize that they have to CO." said Delegate
Byron. "We have been good friends of
the assembly. We are friends of all work
ingmen. We organized this assembly
eight or nine years ago and built it up.
When the question came up whether we
should be secret or open, two thirds voted

Delegate Haines said that the organiza-
tions could not be built up by keeping
together.
Delegate Byron remarked that District
Assembly No. 81 was stronger than the
Trades Assembly and would not go to
pieces if kicked out.
Delegate Henry A Beckmeyer ques-
toned the motives of those who were
throwing firebrands into the ranks of
labor. He considered the amendment q
deliberate insult
The motion to adopt the amendment
was carried by vote of II to g. The EARLY
Closing Association delegates voted blank.
The Seth Boyden Association asked for
its share of the finances, and another row
occurred. The Knights made insinuations
of dishonesty, which Delegates Haines
and Dooner resented Finally it was de-
cided to divide the money pro rata.

of Gibson's door as the men came up, and
he began to plague Meltzer. Ruck re-
monstrated, which so provoked Killen
that he knocked Meltzer down with bed

DEFENCELEss LONDON.
The Parsimonious Briton Will Depend

The Parsimonious Briton VIII Depend
on the Navy and the Volunteers.
[By Gable to the United Press.]
LONDON, March Z, 1889. 1t may be con-
sidered as settled that there will be no
elaborate system of Notifications built to
defend the approaches to London unless
public opinion undergoes great change.
The mere proposition to erect outlying de-
fences within supporting distance of each
other around the vast circumference of
the great city has opened such vistas Of
boundless expenditure to the prac-
tical British mind that expostu-
lations through the press have be-
journals have refused to devote further
space to the communications from excited
civilians. In the first place, it is urged
that persons, whose property includes
ground the Government would wish to
use for its own purposes, would resort to
every available obstruction under the COM
pick laws of the country to prevent the
confiscation of their acres, and the delays
which would ensue might be fatal.
1t is difficult, if not impossible, to per-
suade the average Briton that his costly
navy IS not sufficient to guard the shores
of his country, and the sight of works 60
ing up that would tacitly imply @ pros.
pCSulNO uS1CuO VI tietU ltlCC WOull AetNS d
most demoralizing effect 1t must be ac-
knowledged that the articles in practical
journals, such as Engineering, have been
calculated to allay the popular anxiety,
while the United SerVtce Gazette and Ma
qdl and MILITARY Magazine have been
Cassandra-like in their utterances.
The result will probably be the recall of
Lord Charles Beresford, on his own terms,
to an important command, and the in
crease of the numerical strength of the
navy. There is no doubt that some de-
fences on the lower Thames will be erected
to guard against the possibility of sud-
den dash of foreign ironclads up the river
to within shelling distance of London,
where they could inf1ict incalcnlable
damage before being driven away, but the
prospect of circumambient chain of
works is very slight.
General Lord Wolsely highly delighted
the volunteers by his estimate of the
prowess they will exhibit in case of emerg-
ency. To be sure his address at the vol
unteer medical staff dinner was a post
prandial effort, delivered when his audi
ence and himself were warmed by their
potations, but no doubt every man present
felt that, as Tennyson has said of this
very emergency, he would "strike, were
it but with his cheating yard-wand, home"
and verify Lord Wolsely's prediction that
they would drive off any invading force
in fortnight. 1t must be very depress-
ing, though, to these unfiedged warriors
to have Labouchere call the doughty gen
eral perfect gas-bag."

Ex-President Cleveland and His Lovely
Wife Now in New York.
The New Jersey Central Railroads
bleak and unfinished station across the
gap was thronged for several hours yes
terday afternoon by crowd of curious
people, awaiting the arrival of the special
train bearing ex-President Cleveland and
his party from Washington to New
York. 1t was understood that the
train would arrive soon after four o'clock,
and after that hour every incoming train
was met with a mad rush. As trains ar
rived every two or three minutes. the
crowd was kept busy. 1t dashed from
one long platform to another until six
O'Clock, when engineer John Hogan drove
the special into the station.
The people made final scramble as the
cars rolled under the immense arched
structure and completely engulfed the
Captain Archie Mckaig, of the First pre-
cinct who had been detailed to act as a
guard of honor for the party.
Mrs. Cleveland appeared on the plat
form of the second car and the crowd
cheered heartily. She responded with
smile, disappeared from view a moment
and reappeared, accompanied by the ex-
President. Again the throng made the
station echo and re-echo with lusty cheers.
Mr. Cleveland pleasantly raised his hat
and assisted Mrs. Cleveland to the station
platform.
Followed by Mr.. and Mrs. Don Dickin-
son, Mrs. Folsom, Colonel and Mrs. Dan
Lamont, the Lamont children and several
servants, Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland sought
the five carriages which stood in waiting
beneath the ferry shed. The cheering was
renewed as the carriages were driven
aboard the ferryboat.
On the New York side the crowd was
,fpoff
were rapidly driven to the Victoria Hotel,
where Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and theiy
friends sought their apartments.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland looked re-
markably well when driven aboard the
ferryboat.

A Republican resolution intended to de-
lay excise legislation was voted down in
the House this morning. All the Demo-
Gratis present were against it, thus giving
an indication of their position on the

effect that nine-tenths of the present mem
bers OF the Board of Freeholders are
thieves, published in THE JERSEY CITY

sation in North Hudson, as well as through

brand them in public as thieves.
Mr.. Meeks is member of the present
