EVERYBODY HOPEFUL.
The Central People and Knights
of Labor Confident.

Ol laUOE
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The usual Sun
day quietude prevailed around the
Grand Central depot to-day. The Off
cials of the railroad we're at their posts
as usual, but every one declared that no
trouble was anticipated. Vice Presi-
dent Webb is of the opinion that the
Terre Haute convention will do little or
nothing in support of the action of the
Knights, and that the strike, if there is
one, will be quietly be proved a failure.
Referring to Mr.. Powderly's latest man
ifesto. which was published ID this
mornings papers, Mr.. Webb said that
all the statements bearing on the
management of the road were
untrue. Tomorrow he will investi-
gate the charges made by the men
whose afidavits are attached to Mr..
POwderly's manifesto and will make
public the result. Mr.. Powderly and
his colleagues. MessTS. Hayes, Davis
and Wright, left town tonight for AL
bany, to attend the convention OF Dis
trict Assembly 246 tomorrow. The
meeting will consist of three delegates
from each of the organizations which
compose District Assembly 246. Mr.
Hayes said that no definite information
has yet been received from IeTre
Haute, but he believes that the Fedora
ton will support the policy of Mr..
Powderly.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 24.-Pres-
ident Sargent was shown the statement
made to-day by Mr.. Webb, in which the
latter said that he was of the opinion
that the Terre Haute convention will do
little or nothing in support Of the ac-
Of ha Z RninIotc of ah hnr 0tO Mr
Sargent, after reading the dispatch,
said: "Why did not Mr. Webb investi-
gate those charges last Wednesday,
when Mr.. Powderly requested an inves-
tigation? Why does he wait until the
true facts are given to the public
through the agency of sworn affidavits?
1t looks like a 'nlgger in the wood
pile.'" This is all Mr.. Sargent would
say on the subject.

International Copyright.

WASHINGTON. Aug. PA number of
well-known residents of Washington
have united in petition to the house OF
representatives. urging the passage OF
the international copyright bill, which
it is said to be the intention of the COM
mittee on patents to call up Tuesday
next. The enactment of such law,
the petitioners assert, would give
stimulus to American authors. In the
absence of such law, American authors
are declared to be subject to an unfair
competition with foreign literature.

WITH RED FIRES.
A Farewell Banquet to the En-
perOr of Germany.

A Farewell Banquet to the En-
perOr of Germany.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. pa fare
well banquet was given last evening al
the Peterhof palace. The cZar, En-
peror William, Chancellor Won Caprivi,
M. de Giers and a number of leading
officials were present. After the BAN
quet the czar and the emperor went out
upon a balcony which overlOoks the
gardens of the palace. These were
brilliantly Illuminated, the fountains,
cascades and grottOes being lighted uI
with colored fires, and presenting q
dazzling spectacle. Conspicuous among
other devices was huge shield
on which were displayed the
German emperOr's Initials in letters OF
fire and the coat of arms of Prussia.
At 10 o'clocR the emperor departed.
He was accompanied to the quay by the
czar, the officers of the Viborg regiment
of which the emperor is honorary col
Onel, forming guard of honor. Upon
arriving at the landing stage the emper
or shook hands with each of the officers
and babe the czar cordial farewell. AS
the steamer left the quay the car
called out ''bon voyage, auritters." The
emperor boarded the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, which put to sea at
dawn, escorted by the German ironclad
Irene. Vice Admiral Schwartz, military
governor of CronStadt, gave dinner
last evening to the officers of the Irene
and Hohenzollern. The admiral toast
ed Emperor William, and Capt. Won
Arrow proposed the health of the czar.
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein. Ger
man imperial foreign secretary, has left
Berlin 10 meet the emperor at Memel.
The Grashdanin says that. while the
car and Emperor William desire peace
in order to be able to occupy themselves
with internal affairs, there is no prob
lem,, either actual or prospective, that
can serve them as motive for COM
mon action. The interview, therefore,
could admit of no objection beyond that
of strengthening the present peace by
affording ocular testimony as to the
amicable relations existing between
Russia and Germany.

Saved by the Turn Of a Card.


Before the war man was on trial in
Lauderdale county for murder. The
circumstantial evidence against the
mar was very strong, and when the
jury retired and took ballot the result
was six for conviction and six for ac-
quittal. 1t remained this way for two
days and nights, neither side showing
any disposition to change their minds.
At last one of the jury, named Silver
tooth, proposed a game of seven-up be-
tween the opposing sides, one man to
be selected from each side, and whoever
won the losing side were to stand by
the result. This was agreed to, and
Silvertooth, who was in favor of ac-
quitting the prisoner, and another
Juror, who was strongly in favor of con-
viction, commenced the game. 1t was
hotly contested game, and each juror
had scored six points when it came Sill
vertooth's time to deal. He shuff1ed
the cards carefully and dealt forth the
sufficient number to each, and then
turned the jack, which made him win
the game and saved the prisoners life.
The six who were for conviction voted
with the other six for acquittal and the
prisoner was discharged from custody.
