all turned out girls and things were badly
mixed In Il long procession the young

they were greeted by the. bellies of the

the evening.

proceedings or the Toledo convention.
Powderly's Annual Address. II
TOLEDO, O., Nov. 1.-THE Knights OF
Labor convention today settled the con-
tested case OF district assembly 1856 by
restoring eighteen local assemblies to
good standing, and seating all five dele
gates.
Among the amendments to the con-
stitution adopted was one to the 18th
article. 1t is as follows "And all chill
dren over the age of and under Is be
compelled to attend some institution of
learning at least ten months OF the wear,
or such part of a year as may be offered
them"
The question of the expulsion OF mem
bers from the order for publicly attack
ing the character or standing of another
member, was settled by giving the gem
eral executive board full authority to
act.
An Observation-Disclosures to place the
selection of the general executive board
in the hands of the general assembly
instead OF the general master workman
was defeated. Another victory for Pow
derby.
Mr.. Powderly, in mis- annual address
this afternoon, spoke hopefully of the
growth of the order. Speaking OF pol
itics, he urged every knight to pay at
tention to the election of fit men as leg
fslators, in city, district, state and ma
ton. He advocated the Australian bal
lot, claiming that the Knights of Labor
succeeded in getting it established in
eighteen states, and that they will not
relax their efforts until the system pre-
walls in every state.

REDS SURPRISED.
Chicago Anarchists Compelled to Hoist
the Stars and Stripes.

the Stars and Stripes.
CHICAGO Nov. 1.-THE stars and
stripes waved aloft tonight after a scene
OF excitement unequaled since the Hay
market riot. Over one thousand anarch-
lists and their sympathizers gathered at
the West Twelfth street Turner hall,
tonight, to commemorate the
execution OF Spies, Parsons, ct al.
Speeches were extremely strong and
red emblems covered everything.
The climax came during incendiary
utterances of Henry Wissman, editor
of New York German trades paper.
Inspector OF Police Hubbard, accom-
panied by Lieutenant Gibbons and a
squad OF officers in citizens clothing,
approached the stage. Hubbard ordered
the American flag placed among the
flaming red banners which were con-
spiouous everywhere. Instantly there
was profound sensation in the motley
audience, and the police were Kissed
from all parts of the hall. Mrs. Lucy
Parsons shrieked out: "Hang the MUIR
derers of my husband"
In second pandemonium reigned,
hundreds of excited men were pushing
forward, cursing the officers, and SEEM
ingly only wanting nod from the lead
ers to precipitate bloody fight. Never
theless Inspector Hubbard unhinching-
ly ordered suspension of the meeting
until his commands were obeyed.
Through the din, the half-hundred po-
lice could be seen with their hands on
clubs and revolvers, preparing for a
fight, which seemed inevitable.
1t was fully ten minutes before order
was restored. The American flag,
meanwhile, had been reluctantly hoist
ed to place over the stage. The pro-
ceeding was only accomplished when
the officers were found ready for
action, and the cooler heads
among the audience had time to exercise
some influence. The meeting had been
taken completely by surprise, else
more tragic result might have followed.
The leaders of the meeting assert that
it was only to- show reverence for the
men who persisted at the hands of the
law. When the proceedings opened the
stage was fairly buried in red bunting,
while prominently in front were placed
busts OF Spies and Parsons, with char
acteristic inscriptions. The Marseilles
was the favorite music, and band also
rendered Annie Laurie, which was sung
by Parsons, IN jail, the last night of his
life.
Editor Weissman was the first
speaker, and he was fairly launched in
typical harangue, in which he dwelt
on the 'peaceable" nature of the Hay
market meeting, the prostitution of the
courts, the poverty-stricken condition of
the masses, ETC., when the police made
their entrance and the consequent up
roar. This took the life out of the
meeting, and the remaining speeches
were very brief. 1t was announced,
however, that another meeting would
be held Thursday night, at the old-time
headnI1a tiers on Lake street

WHOLESALE SMUGGLING.
One of the Biggest Opium CoDspiracie
on Record Discovered. s-

oA ANccoIu DieCotoiCu'
New York, Nov. 1.-THE sudden dis
covery of a wholesale system Of snug
Cling across the Canadian border. has
startled the custom house officials. In
the custom house here there is now lying
the largestquantity of opium ever seized,
and there is still more to follow. 1t is
believed the traffic has been started by
some opium growers of India. 1t is not
thought itcomes from China. In addition
to having agents in Canada, about
three or four months ago two or
three we'll educated natives from Bonn
bay arrived In this country by way Of
Europe. They ostensibly came on some
other business, but the real object of
their visit is believed to have been the
completion of an elaborate arrangement
for increasing the opium traffic in this
country. AS the first attempt at SNUG
Cling proved to be so successful, it was
determined to operate on larger scale.
The ramificatlons of the scheme are in
tricate and ingenious, but with the in
formation already in the hands Of the
treasury officials, an effectual stop will
be put to opium smuggling. 1t is uu-
derstood some arrests will be mede
soon.

There is probably nothing in the story,
otherwise the report of such fast trial
would have been telegraphed to this Of

be speeded today. He will make rec

that his election to the chairmanship
be effected without public conditions of
any kind. He would seek an interview
with Gladstone after his election, and if
the latter's assurances were satisfactory
would resign the Craftsmanship in favor
of Parnell and declare for Parnell as
leader. O'Brien cabled Dillon in New
