ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DISPATCH.
PHILADELPHIA, November 3.-General
Master Workman 7. V. Powderly said this
afternoon: "The rumors which have been
floating around alleging that the order OF
the Knights of Labor is weakening, and
that the Executive Board is in state of
Reorganization are entirely false. They
originate in Pittsburg, from set civilians
who are too dishonorable to sign their
names to the charges, but know who they
are now, although have been in Ignorance
OF their identity for some time.
'There was recommendation made some
time ago by William R. Goodney, of Brook
lyn, that the Census Department should
take the census in winter, in order to ascer-
tain the number of idle men and tramps
that are found in the cities. Now, that is
folly. The census is taken every ten years,
and it might be possible that employment
would be given to these idle men during
that particular year, in order to keep the
real truth quiet. L think it should be the
duty of the National Labor Department to
take statistics every year, in the winter, and
then we would know something about the
number of men who are unemployed, and
we would be better enabled to base legisla-
tion on measures of reform that will repre-
sent the true state of affairs and not mere
approximate.
81 believe that we should urge upon Con-
gress," Mr.. Powderly continued, ITO in
struct Superintendent of the Census Porter
to ascertain the number of persons who own
their own homes, and of those who own and
operate their own farms, as well as those
whose homes and farms are mortgaged; and
also the number and extent of these mort
cages and the names of those who own them.
Then we will know who own the country. l
intend to introduce in our general assembly
a plan by which memorial shall be circu-
lated and presented to Congress, petitioning
that body to take action with regard to these
suggestions"
A. w. Wright, member of the Executive
Board, said in reference to the alleged weak
ness in the order: cat the end of the last
quarter, July, we had paid-in per capita
tax of S12, ,720. Now, in addition to this,
there are certain assemblies that are not
compelled to pay this tax-those who have
been on strike and those who have assisted
strikers, as in the case of the Braidwood
miners strike, which relieved nearly Is, 900
members from this tax. Last week we
issued 20 charters to newly-organized assem-
blies.'

had left helpless, leaning for support against
a Wood street telegraph pole.
''By the beard of my father !'' exclaimed
the inquisitive one, ''these be useful OBJ
structions, these long, unsightly telegraph,

And, pondering over what he had seen, he
began to ask himself the history of these
poles-where they had come from, how they
were hewn into shape, and in what quanti-
ties they stood, through the streets and by
ways of the good city of Pittsburg.

Chronic Catarrh

Cannot be cured by local applications. 1t is a
constitutional disease and requires constitu-
tional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla which,
working through the blood, eradIcates the i'm
purity which causes and promotes the disease,
and soon effects permanent cure. At the
same time Hoods Sarsaparilla builds up the
whole system, and makes you feel renewed in
strength and health. Be sure to get Hoods.
81 suffered severely from chronic catarrh,
arising from impure blood. 1t became very
bad, causing soreness of the bronchial tubes
and a troublesome cough, which gave great
anxiety to my friends and myself as two
brothers died from bronchial consumption. l
tried many medicines, but received no benefit.
1 was at last induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and am not the same man in health or feel

tirely well, and dyspepsia trouble, with sick
headache, have all disappeared" E M. LIN

was that time, for the conditions have not at
all improved. He says: passing by the

Justice Lamar Praises Texas.

MEMPHIS, August Judge Lamar,
who is en- route to his home in Geor-
gia, stopped over in Memphis to-day
to visit his daughter, Mrs. Hugh Hey
skell. In reply to the questions as to
what impressions he gathered of the
material prosperity of the states
through which he travelled, he said {:
81 was immensely pleased with what
| saw. In Alabama they are making
prodigous strides in manufacturing.
Of louisiana l saw little but New Or
leans, which seems to be growing in
wealth and Importance. Of Texas l
saw more than any other state. Its
growth has been wonderful. The
barbed wire fence is a great civilizer
Under its influence what were formerly
extensive cattle ranches have been
transformed to great farms, blossom
ing with crops of cotton and corn and
wheat, and peopled by race of thrifty,
industrious and intelligent farmers,
the whites largely predominating.

GALVESTON.
A FURIOUS GALE BREAKS OVER THE
CITY IN THE EARLY MORNING,
As MILES AN HOUR.
Nearly All the Small Craft in the Harbor
Wrecked-But Little Damage in
the Town.
Special to The Statesman.

GALVESTON, August 9.-The cyclon-
ish weather that has prevailed in this
locality for the past two days cul-
minated this morning in a furious
gale, which wrecked signs, tore
branches from trees and played havoc
with small crafts along the wharf.
The gale broke over the city about 3
a. m, and for about three hours blew
with a velocity of forty-fve miles an
hour, when it gradually subsidized.
During its prevalence the wind
shifted from the northeast to
the north, where it attained its
greatest fury, and as it subsidized
it gradually shifted to the
southwest. All the pleasure yachts
and boats in the harbor were either
wrecked, sunk or badly damaged, and
many of the larger craft suffered
severely. The loss along the water
front is estimated at fully $4,000
The damage in the city, however, is
slight. The weather is now clear and
beautiful with gentle breeze from
the southeast.

THE CONTRACT LABOR LAW.
1t Will Not Prevent the Landing Of Foreign
Catholic Professors.

BALTIMORE, August T. Notwith-
standing the recent decision of Sole
itor of the Treasury Hepburn, adverse
to the importation of foreign professors
engaged by Bishop Keane last winter
for the Catholic University at Wash
ington, those gentlemen will come to
this country and take the places for
which they are intended. The edu-
Gators are the Rev. DR.. Schroeder, of
the Cologne Seminary, for dogmatic
theology; Rev. DR.. Banquillon, of the
University of Lille, moral theology !;
DR.. Hyvernat, of the Appolonairs of
Rome, Holy Scriptures; Rev. DR..
Joseph Pohle, of Fulda, philosophy,
and Charles Warren Stoddard, Eng
fish literature.
After the rendering of Mr.. Hep
burns opinion the matter was carried
before the encouragement, but the at
torney-general declined to take up the
case because it was as yet hypothe-
teal. He would give no opinion until
the arrival in this country of the per-
sons referred to. Since that time
everything has been arranged to the
entire satisfaction of the university
authorities. They have been given
assurances that their foreign educa-
tors will not be interfered with. So a
gentleman, government official of
high standing, told reporter yester-
day. The professors will be permitted
to land without question. If, how
ever, upon their arrival objection
should come from any quarter, it will
be decided, and very properly too, by
competent authority that the law pro-
viding for the exclusion of labor under
contract was not intended to apply to
the class named.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

INSTRUCTIONS TO TEXAS COLLECTORS.
WASHINGTON, August o. Acting
Secretary Bachelor has authorized
collectors of customs at Eagle Pass and
Corpus Christi, Tex, to allow Mexican
ores actually on the cars in course of
transportation from Mexico prior to
the receipt by them of the new regu-
lations, to pass under the regulations
in force previous to that date.
THE ENCOURAGEMENT or IMMIGRATION
ALREADY PRODUCING RESULTS.
WASHINGTON, August 9.-Before
leaving Buenos Ayres for home,
United States Minister Hanna wrote
short report to the state department
on immigration into the Argentine
Republic. He says it is setting in
from all countries of Europe and the
great number of arrivals is marvellous.
They are generally assisted by the
Argentine government to the extent
at least Of having thier passages paid
from starting point to deftination in
the interior. The amount thus paid
in March alone is estimated at
81 100000. Already this vast influx,
the minister says, is beginning to tell
on the exports of corn. Last year the
country shipped 445, 900 tons Of corn
This year it will go above 100000
tons. Mr.. Hanna further says: ain
the vast fleet of merchant ships and
great steamers coming here to trade
from European port the United States
flag is rarely seen, but it is hoped and
believed that the policy of the new
administration on the subject of an
encouraged steam navigation between
the United States and South American
ports will successfully solve this en-
barrassment."

AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Terrible Experience of Niagara Falls Hotel
Clerk.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August 9.-At the
Niagara House, Niagara Falls, at about
8 o'clock one evening recently, Jacob
Fetter, the clerk, having finished his
labor for the day, sat down on win
dow-sill in the Office and rested his
head against a small iron box used as
a cut off of the incandescent light. In
a few moments he leaned through the
open window to speak with someone
in the hall and in doing so his right
hand came in contact with a steam
pipe. A binding flash occurred.
illuminating his whole body.
A man present sprang to the
rescue, and with a superhuman effort
pulled Mr.. Fetter away. He dropped
to the floor and his shrieks caused a
crowd to collect, among whom was
doctor, who undertook to restore the
man to consciousness. Another doctor
was summoned, and in short time
Mr.. Fetter revived. His hair was cut
off where his head had come in con-
tact with the box, and large and
deep hole was found in his scalp. The
hand which had rested on the steam
pipe was blistered. When Mr.. Fetter
became conscious he asked what had
happened, saying that he had felt no
pain. He only complained of the
burn on his hand and was not aware
of the injury to his head. 1t is thought
impossible that he can recover.

A BIG TRUST.
The Table Glassware Manufacturers of Sew

The Table Glassware Manufacturers of Sew
eral States Forming a Combination.
CHICAGO, August GA special from
Pittsburg says: One of the most
gigantic combinations in industrial
work that has ever been seen is being
perfected. 1t is the incorporation of
table glassware manufacturers of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia
into an immense trust The head
quarters will be in Pittsburg, and the
table glass works of three states will be
under one management and control.
The matter has been under considera-
ton for some time, and crystalizing
not rapidly but surely. The details
are now in perfect shape, and the
combination is assured. The
economy secured by having one COM
pany controlling an enormous prod
uct under single management will
alone save handsome profit, aside
from the protection it will afford
against inevitable loss from over-pro-
duction, rate cutting, etc. The cor
poration to be formed proposes to pur-
chase various plants at their appraised
value, allowing liberal compensation
for the good will and established trade.
All factories, large and small, go into
this company on an equal basis. The
Pittsburg table and glassware manu-
facturers are said to be in the COM
bine.

Last night the president granted

telegraphed the president asking that
Walker be respited to the same date.
The respite was received at 10 o'clock
