1t provides that the Knights of Labor
shall revoke. and issue no more charters to
local or national trade assemblies, and, in
return, the American Federation of Labor

the American Federation of Labor can not
interfere with the liberties of its affiliated
bodies, and at consequently the agree
ment is to them only a recommendation,
not a binding contract.

Number Makes Stir with a Pistol.
New ORLEANS, La, December 49,
Great activity exists now among the Re-
publicans and, in view of the dissensions
in the Democratic party, they consider the
chances good for success in case they nom-
mate state ticket. There was meeting
today of the state central committee. Two
factions were in attendance, the Yarmouth
ard anti Yarmouth. The former was
composed of the straightout white Repub-
licans with few colored men, and was
led by the Ex-Governor himself. The anti
Warmouths comprised the leading colored
Republicans of the committee and was led
by j. M. Vance. President Herming, in
calling the committee to order, said that
the convention would be called soon for
the purpose of nominating a state ticket
and sending delegates to the National Con-
vention. The party, he said, was we'll or
ganized throughout the state and every
man would do his duty when the
time came. There were two vacancies on
the committee for the state at large. For
one of the vacancies Charles p. FOutellier,
anti Yarmouth, received AZ votes, and G.
L Ladd, Yarmouth, 26. For the other va
caDcy, ex- Governor Kellogg received So,
and Ex-Governor Yarmouth 10. While
this was being taken, Governor Yarmouth
and about dozen friends. including
United States Marshal Donnelly, left the
hall. As they were going out some one
made offensive remarks and Marshall
Donnelly drew his pistol but was prevent
ed by his friends from shooting. This in
cident created quite ripple of excitement.
When it subsidized the convention proceed
ed with its business, electing r. E. De-
sunts, an anti.lottery man, secretary. At
ter adopting resolutions endorsing Presi-
dent Harrson's administration, the COM
mittee adjourned.

Mysterious Meeting of Western Republic
cans in the Windy City.
: CHICAGO. December ia notable gath
ering of Republican leaders from all over
the West took place today at the Grand
Pacific. What was done at the secret ses-
sion, which lasted from morning to eve
ming, Is best known to those present.
Those present at the conference were nu-
merous but were decidedly averse to in
creasing the number of those who know
what it was about. They declared that
any such topic as candidate" was not dis
cussed. Among those present were j. S.
ClarksoD, ex-Congressman A. L. C0nger,
ex-Senators Sabine and Spooner of Wiscori-
sin and A. M. Jones. The presence in the
morning of Emmons Blaine was looked
upon as significant and the arrival of Gen.
Russell Alger from Detroit added to the
gossip. Mr.. Conger, however. assumed all
responsibility for Mr.. Blaiue's presence
and stated that the latter had called upon
him upon private business. Both Emmons
Blaine and Gen. Alger were in retirement
during the morning and neither returned
to the hotel in the afternoon.

How Fighters Have Fun While Training

" Y. COnt,nsnt.
As the day for the Slavin- Kilrain con-
test draws near, the interest in it in
creaSes, and the match is creating a
great deal of discussion among the
sporting fraternity. Very little betting
has been done so far, but this can prob
ably be accounted for from the fact that
the heavy bettOrs are waiting until a
day or two before the match is decided,
so as to get line on the mems condi-
ton. Many are doubtful of Sla-
wins ability to best Kilrain in ten
rounds. He has never fought in this
country, and betting men don't want TO
back man they haven't seen perform.
We know what he has done in England
and Australia, still the men that he de-
feated in England can't be really claSsed
as frSt-raterS.
@On the other hand, Kilrain has proved
himself to be clever man and hard
hitter, and he will stand a good punch
ing. His only fault is that he is too
slow. Slavin has the advantage in
height, reach and weight and is light
ming fighter and he will 90 right at

Slayin had many callers at his train

Island, on Sunday. Among them were
Dominick McCafrrey, Snapper" Garri-
son, Jack McAuliffe, Dick Roche, Har-
ry Barren, the English Splinter, Pete
Callan and John Ryan. They sat
around the Piazza telling funny stories
and joking with Pony" Moore.

looks for all the world like Dutch
comedian. He took a walk with Sla-
vim and Mitchell up the Boulevard in
the morning, and when they were re-
turning several cyclerS rang for them
to get out of the path Slavin
and Mitchell jumped to one side,
but Pony" was obstinate. He said he
wouldn't get out of the road for the
''bloomin'" machines. He had hardly
uttered the words when one Of the
wheelmen flew by him like a shot.
Pony" jumped to one side, and as he
did, another wheelman ran into him and
sent him sprawling over the road.
Pony" was wild, and wanted to fight
right away. The kid who rode the BIZ
cycle went back TO Pony" and called
him little Dutchman, and was anxious
TO know if he wanted ''to make any
thing out of it," Charley and Frank
interfered, and the kid rode away. All
ioked PONY" about it, and when he
went to bed he was in a mood to fight
his shadow.
They had good laugh on Mitchell,
also. He was telling the wonderful
things he could do on bicycle. Jack
Sheehan stopped the next wheelman
that came along, and asked Charley to
ride it. He tried to get out of it, but
they insisted that he should make good
his boast. Charley walked up to the
machine as proud as a peacock. He ran
along with it for a short distance, and
then made spring for the seat. He
jumped little too far. however, and
landed up near the handle. He and the
machine went over together, and the
crowd laughed themselves hoarSe.
When Charley was pulled out from
under the wheel he made all sorts of
excuses but thew wouldn't 90
