P0WDERLY BACKS WATER.
The King Bows His Naughty Head Once
Again

Philadelphia, Nov. 24.-Generl Mas
ter Workman Powderly backed water
in the session of the general assembly
of the knights of Labor this morning,
and is endeavoring to placate the
strong opposition forces by presenting
"a new list of delegates from among
whom four We're chosen for the gen
eral executive board yesterday. He
had named John Devlin, A. w. Wright,
and John Davis, of the present board,
Hugh Cavanaugh, the deposed worthy
foreman, John Costello, of Pittsburg,
Charles R. Martin, of Toledo, and
Thomas OReilly and John G. O'Keefe,
of Philadelphia. The men he named
today we're John Devlin D. Trent, A
w Wright, of Canada, Hugh Cavan-
augh, of CINCINNATI, John Costello, of
Pittsburg, T. B. Mcguire. of New
York, J. P. Duncan. Of Indian Terri
tory, j. H. Robertson, of Arkansas
and ?. H Quinn, of Rhode Island
The entire time of the session was
taken up in discussing the names
and warm speeches were made for and
against each candidate. Most of the
men are favorable to Powderly, but
several Of them suit the Hayes fac
ton.
Balloting for the new general execu-
tive board commenced early this after
noon. V. 3. Mcguire, of New York,
was the only nominee who got enough
votes to elect him. Ballot after ballot
was taken for the remaining seven
men, but no result was reached. At
the hour of adjournment the delegates
seemed determined to keep up the
fight against Powderly.

RECOGNITION on
THU WHITE METAL.
Another international Confer
ence Is Very Probable.
HELD EARLY NEXT YEAR.
England VIII Probably Endorse SucI
an Agreement.
With Salisbury and BaIfour in ONCE, BIZ
metalIsm Would Probably Find
Very Strong Advocates
Over the Ocean.

Washington, Nov. 24-Inquiry among
senator's and members has developed
the very general belief that there win
be an effort next year, possibly early
in the year, to bring about another in
ternational conference for the purpose
of securing some recognition of silver.
a prominent member Of the Senate
committee on finance, who has been
known for many years for his hostil-
ity to the continued use of silver in
this country, without the cooperation
of the principal European nations, ex-
pressed the opinion today that by
proper management the administration
could secure a conference upon the
question which would accomplish i'm
portant results looking to a largely
increased use of silver in European
countries. He is of the opinion that
the action taken by this government
in stopping the purchase Of silver
would prove a strong lever in bring
ing the foreign countries to see the
necessity for providing the means for
increasing the volume of money in
the civilized world, and argued that
the United States should show a de-
ard as long as the other nations per-
sist in this course and to secure all
the gold possible. He dWelt upon the
Importance of securing the assent of
England to such a conference with the
understanding that it should not be
mere pro forma proceedings on her
part, and expressed the opin-
ion that affairs are shaping
themselves in a way to render Eng
land more favorable than that coun-
try had heretofore been to an inter-
national agreement. He called atten-
ton to the rate of exchange between
England and India, and said India's
partially for silver would be difficult
to overcome. He furthermore assert
ed that England's relation with India
is SO intimate that the former country,
in view of the difficulty which Eng
land has already experienced from ri
val powers in maintaining her pres
tige in her Asiatic possessions, cannot
afford to go to any great length in
antagonizing the people of that region
upon a point SO vital to them as their
finances. This senator also expressed
the opinion that the present govern
thrown at the next election and said
if it should be and Salisbury and Bal
four again come into Office, as in that
event they would, there would be a
much greater likelihood of securing
favorable action from England under
Gladstone as Balfour is pronounced
bimetallist and Salisbury is very IA
vorably inclined to that direction.

JERRY RUSK,S FUNERAL.
Loving Tributes Paid to the Sturdy states
man Yesterday.

viroqua, Wis, Nov. PA great
gathering of people this afternoon
barred their heads to a brisk cold wind
from the west while the last earthly
tribute was paid to Jeremiah NJ Rusk,
ex-governor, ex-congressman, and late
secretary of agriculture. Ex-President
Harrison, who was very fond of the
sturdy old statesman, journeyed all
the way from Indiana to be present
at the interment and followed the re-
mains to the last resting place, walk
ing with members of the family as one
of the chief mourners. The obsequies
were a fitting finale to the simple life
of Wisconsin's great commoner, the
most picturesque character the state
has ever produced. The bitterly cold
weather did not prevent the people
of the entire surrounding country
from being present, testifying their af-
lection for the deceased, and a large
number of strangers was present del
legations coming from the most dis
tant parts of the northwest. Three
heavy special trains arrived during
the day, the first part from La Crosse
at noon; the second from Madison,
bringing Governor Peck and most of
the state officials; the third from
Chicago and Milwaukee, bringing ex-
President Harrison, ex-Attorney-Ge Gen
eral Miller, Assistant Secretary of Ag-
ricuIture Willets, and delegation of
the Loyal Legion and Masonic fra
ternities, under guard of honor from
the Lowrie post C. A. r., all associates
of the dead soldier.
The remains lay all night in state
in the little Methodist church Con-
tinuing until 2 O'Clock the hour of the
funeral, a continuous stream OF peo-
pie passed the bier, which
was surrounded by floral tributes from
all parts Of the country. There were
many affecting scenes as the grizzled
veterans limped by to get a last look
at the familiar features, many of them
giving vent to their sorrow in audible
weeping. The face showed little emac-
iation, despite the long Illness. Every

REPUBLICAN, LOVE FEAST.
Cussed and Some Good Wine
Spoiled.

Boston, Mass. Nov. 24.-Twelve hun
dred Republicans sat down to a love
feast at the Home Market club in the
big Mechanics hall this evening. The
galleries were crowded with several
thousands more, while the air was
alive with enthusiasm. Among those
present were: Governor Mckinley, of
Ohio; Tom Reed, of Maine; Governor
elect Greenhalge, of Massachusetts,
Governor Fuller, of Vermont; Congress-
man Cousins, of Iowa, and Senator
Hoar. After dinner, President Bent
introduced Senator George f. Hoar as
the first speaker
Greenhalge. Governor Mckinley, of
Ohio, followed. and was received with
clamorous applause. He said:
"ThiS year in Massachusetts, as in
Ohio, politics was business and bust
ness politics; and unitedIy they tri
umphed. Is anybody any longer in
doubt about the real trouble in the
United States, in his August message,
announced q great fact He said: Tt
may be true the embarrassment from
which the business of the country is
suffering arises as much from the evils
apprehended as from those actually
existing. This is true. Remove the
apprehension of threatened tariff legis-
lation; remove the scare of promised
free trade bill; remove the fear which
has settled upon every business inter
est, and confidence will return. What
would be more welcome to the bust
ness interests of the country than as
surances that this Congress would adj
journ without meddling with our indus
trial legislation? I sound note of
warning here tonight. The effect of
the proposed tariff legislation, whether
intended or not, is an unerring blow
at labor, which will be instantly felt
in the home of every operative in the
United States"
Congressman Thomas B. Reed spoke
next. He said: Even if we should
be successful in defeating any effort
of the Democratic party to carry out
the programme Of their party platform,
we should not forget our duty to push
forward. You hayee a.. great duty be-
fore you, a duty for the people. This

Deputies Yesterday.
Rome, Nov. 24-The chamber of dep
uties was thronged today. Cavelotti
caused a lively scene when the min
utes Of yesterdays meeting were read.
He complained the sitting was closed
when the extreme left was about to
submit a motion.
The president commenced an explain
alton amid great excitement, the ex-
IRENE left meanwhile denouncing the
ministers.
Minister Of Finance Grimaldy warm
ly defended himself against the attacks
of the extreme left, declaring that he
was an honest man, and equally as So
licitous of public morals as his oppo-
nents.
Premier Giolotti, before making the
ministerial declaration, declared he
wished to STATE in his own name and
the names of his collea CUES that they
wished to resume seats in the chamber
of deputies in order to have full lib
erty of speech.
The remarks of the premier caused
much excitement in the chamber, es-
pecially in the extreme left. When the
noise had somewhat subsidized, Giolotti
proceeded to announce the resignation
of the cabinet, adding the king had Ie-
served his decision and that minister
would in the meantime remain in Of
fee.
After the dispatch of current bust
ness, a motion to adjourn was made.
