powDERLY THREATENS.
He Says New York Papers Were
Bought Up with Passes.

DENVER, Col, November 11.-0Ver 200
delegates to the general assembly of the
Knights of Labor were called to order today
by Grand Master Workman T. V. Powderly,
who, after few remarks, read his annual
address. At the conclusion of the address
the assembly adjourned until tomorrow
morning. In his report, Mr.. Powderly,
speaking of the New York Central strike,
says the strikers were treated unfairly by
the New York press, which was subsidized
by free passes over the railroad, while the
officers of the road did not care to improve
the condition of their employees. Speaking
OF the charge that he had written a letter
favOring a strike either in the next presiden-
tial year or during the progress of the world s
fair, Mr.. Powderly says: "Those who can
see that no such Interpretation can be placed
on my words. What said was that If the
organization could be kept up until the
worlds fair. the New York Central would
not be able TO refuse any just concession. l
am opposed to strikes; but IL men are to
gam anything they must be organized, must
be prepared to strike even though they never
DO 1t. Ii we must have strikes, we should
prepare for them now and not allow every
subordinate to rush the order into them at a
moments notice without any preparation.
Ii 1892 should be the best year to gain what
is just, right and proper for labor, and flat
refusal should be given, why, that would be
the best year to strike; not at a time when
no preparation has been made. We see the
editor of New York daily paper and tho
president of the New York Central cooper
ating in raising fund to feed men and
women in Ireland robbed through exactly
the same diabolical system as that which Is
now beginning to rob the workmen of Amer
lea. That which is found worthy of praise
in the Irish workman where he strikes
against injustice is dam ned in his brother in
America. when he asks for enough to keep
his children out of the poor house. In order
to prevent strikes, we must make every pre-
paration to make them successful when en-
tered upon"

Erokers Out In Crowds and Excite
nnent at Fever Heat.

ment at Fever Heat.
NEW YORK, November 11.-There was a
larger attendance of brokers on the floor of
the Exchange this morning than there has
been for years. Every stock on the list had
a crowd of brokers trying to trade in it, and
when the market opened the scene was one
of confusion and excitement. Gables report
ing an advance of two to three per cent in
London were received before the opening,
and caused the brokers to take the bull side.
and the disposition to buy was shown all
around.
The largest crowd was in st. Paul, which
first was offered at AS, and then sold at 47s,
2s above yesterdays close. Heavy and un-
expected selling by London, however. drove
the price down to 454.
Sugar opened up to q. and moved up to 81.
then returned again to 90. The movement of
the North American then checked all ten
dency to rally. This stock opened at 27a. but
after the first fifteen minutes thousands of
shares were thrown on the market and 1t
dropped six per cent in six minutes.
The market, after II o'clock, showed a
moderate volume of business in comparison
with the enormous sales of the first hour,
and while a firm tone prevailed the highest
prices of the first hour were not in all cases
maintained. The market showed the same
tendency to yield in the last part of the
hour, and at IL o'clock it was active and
heavy, generally at a fraction under the
opening prices.
There was panic among holders of Viii
lard stocks. and prices fos n orth American
and Northern Pacific collapsed. One broker
sold $4,000 shares of North American and
$4,000 shares were sold by other brokers,
causing decline of six per cent.

Barttelot affair, or to discuss the statement
made to the London Times on Saturday eve

Stanley's statements, further than 60 say
that he thought "Bonny put the matter In a
much worse light than did" Bunny Is the
only living white officer Of the rear column
who Is personally acquainted with the un-
fortunate occurrences at Yambuya camp. In
statement made by MIR. Stanley to the spec
ial correspondent Of the London Times In
this city, In response to a request that he
would particularize more about the story Of
cannibalism, published In that paper to-
day, he says by way Of preface; Concern
ing the story Of cannibalism which Is con-
nected with the name Of Mr.. Jameson, first

there was some animus, but he told me. But

The story told Of Jameson, In brief, Is
that he purchased negro girl, whom he
then gave to the natives in order that he
might witness their cahnibalism.

They also state that Gov. Goodell stands
ready to call the extra session of the pres
ent legislature whenever 1t Is definitely de-
clded upon by the leaders of the Republi-
cans.
The leaders and Republican members here
are exceedingly anxious to have the extra
session called early in December, and 1t un-
doubtedly will be.
The Democrats, though, state that the Re-
publicans do not dare call an extra session.
In tonighrs Telegraph will appear the fol-
lowing, from the pen of Congressman o. G.
Moore, who has attended every conference
and speaks with authority of the Republi-
cans plans:
"The chairman of the Democratic state
committee Is out with proclamation in
forming his party that it has substantial
majority in the legislature.
cat the same time the Concord People
publishes list OF the members-elect, which
list shows the election of 1873 Republicans to
182 Democrats To make up its substantial
majority, O'Neill of Walpole, who is Re-
publican, always has been, and was elected
as such, is classed as Democrat.
I'm addition, Weare and Meredith. which
by the new census have less than 1900 pOp.
ulation, the former 1850 and the latter 1912
are given two Democratic representatives.
In addition Madison, Sharon and LangdOn,
which had their turn at representation two
years ago are given representation, while a
dozen other places that had not population
enough to elect once In ten years are set
down as having elected Democratic repre-
sentatives. AT the same time it Is proposed
by the Democratic pl0tters to count out thir-
ty-three wards and towns, each of which has
the neces sary population to entitle it TO an
additional representative. That is rotten
b0roughs' like Wentworth. with q popula-
tion of 80, and Windsor with population of
65. are to count in the organization of the
House more than the population embraced
IN the thriving towns and cities of the state.
ut would seem that such scheme as the
Democrats nave outlined would fall from its
own absurdity. In their recklessness and
desperation the leaders evidently think that
they can carry their party to any length.
This they may do, but the Republican party
of this state will not be turned from its
straightforward course by all the plotting,
clustering and Dragging of the Democratic
managers. We know, and the Democrats
own returns confess. that the Republicans
have clear majority in both branches Of
