Partment is willing to discuss the reports
that the gold reserve Is to be strengthened
by the assistance of New York banks,
which, it is said, will release their gold to
make payments for customs dues. This reti-
cence to talking applied also to Secretary
Carlisle, who. when shown the published
statements o n the subject, said he had
nothing to make public, but intimated that
IL the New York bankers saw fit to discuss
the matter Ii was their privilege to DO so.
Such an arrangement as that contemplated,
the officials say, could be entered into by
Mr.. Jordan, the assistant treasurer at New
York, who would not necessarily feel IL
obligatory on himself to communicate the
fact to the Treasury Department. There
are reasons for believing that 1t is very
probable that Mr.. Jordan has entered into
some such an arrangement as that men
TONED, by which the golG reserve Is TO be
increased and kept, if possible, up 20 a
higher figure than that at which IL has
stood for some time past
There was a decrease In the reserve, to-
day. of over a million dollars, as compared
with Saturday. The currency balance, how
ever, is almost a million and a half dollars
higher, consequently the net available bal
ance is greater than Ii was Saturday, and
has again overstepped the one-hundred-mil-
lion mark The movement of standard sill
yer dollars for the week ended Saturday
was $691,Si5, and for the corresponding peri
cd of last year 1856 $50. The ipmen OF
fractional silver coin from Nov. l to IL was

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
General Assembly to Meet To-Day
POwderly Scores an Enemy.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-Nearly all OF
the ninety delegates to the General Assem-
bly, of the Knights of Labor. which meets
have arrived, and all Of the preliminary
work, with the exception of the mmi
on credentials, has been concluded. 1t is
declared by observation-disclosures Hayes
that nearly three score of proposed amend
ments have been acted on by the committee
on law. The chief topic OF conversation
among the delegates is over the conflict be-
tween Powderly and Hayes. 1t is the opin-
ion, expressed in whispers by the delegates,
that the whole question will come up before
the convention, and that ii is likely to cause
a lively. If not bitter, discussion. Mr.. Hayes
is a candidate for reelection, and he claims
that he Is entitled to Ii as a vindicatiOn.
To q reporter Mr.. Powderly this morning
said: THE general condition OF the order
Is very good. We have a larger member,
ship than we had a year ago by several
thousand members, and the sentiment Is a
great deal healthier than il has ever been in
the history of the organization. There Is
evidently a great desire to close all breaches
and differences, not only between members
OF the organization, but between members
of other industrial organizations and ours.
There Is one person in Philadelphia VINO Is
always preaching new blood In the knights
of Labor, and he fancies that his anatomy
contains the alleged new blood. and when
ever he is sober enough to talk fe gets off

count about the order) through a friend or
his I'm the newspaper business" When
questioned about the relations between him.
self and General Secretary-treaSurer Hayes,
Mr.. Powderly said that he knew Of nothing
new in the matter, ana tnougnt that the
whole question was settled in September
last.

GEORGE PFISTER ARRESTED.
Police Believe He Is Wanted Oh a Ser
iOus Charge.

Last night officers Tickle and Nicholson
arrested a man for associating with women
OF Ill repute, and on the way to the police
station in the patrol wagon officer Colbert
noticed him trying to drop some letters
from the wagon. The officer Immediately
took charge of the letters and turned them
over TO turnkey Long at the station. The
man gave his name as John Doe, but from
the letters it would appear that his true
name was George Pfster. The letter was
from a brother. but was unsigned and not
dated. The brother said an attorney had
called on him about an hour previous to the
writing and inquired as to the whereabouts
Of a man named George Pf;ster, saying
that attorneys Hawkins * Smith. of this
city, were inquirlng about him.. The letter
suggested that probably the Brush company
VAS seeking to cause him more trouble. The
officers are inclined 10 beIleve that the pris-
oner IS wanted for q more serious one1se
than that for which he was arrested last
night.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Nov. Bone OF
the hardest-fought games of football ever
played In Indiana was that of to-day be-
tween the DePauw and University of Mich
igan elevens. There was a large crowd
present, which included representatives of a
number of Western colleges. The game was
doubly interesting because of the light which
it throws on the contest for the Indiana ren-
nant, which is to occur between Purdue and
DePauw at. Indianapolis ON Thanksgiving
day.
Purdue's defeat at the hands Of the Ann
Arbor eleven by a score of 46 to s on Satur-
day was followed by DePauw's defeat to-
day by a score of "a to 0, and
local enthusiasts are rejoicing over
the fact that the Michigan kickers
found a harder battle at Greencastle than at
Lafayette. DePauw failed to score only
through the loss of the ball within two
yards of Michigan's line through offside
playing. Michigan's team showed up splen-
didly in both aggressive and defensive work,
and was much strengthened by the brilliant
playing Of coacher Barbour, Yale's quarter
for Ann Arbor. DePauw felt the loss OF
half back Dunn, who suffered a broken COL
lar bone in he game of Saturday with Wa
bash. Bearss, who was substituted, though
Weighing but $50 pounds, did surprisingly
clever and plucky work. Albright was less
effective thar usual on account of a
sprained ankle. The teams lined up as fol-
lows.

gold has not averaged more than / per

treasury notes. AS the deficit in the gold

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-There was some
excitement for q while to-day among the
officeholding and ofice-seeking friends Of
Senator Voorhees, by a report which APP
peared to be well founded, to the effect that
the Hoosier Senator had been placed upon
the black list by Secretary Hoke Smith,
and that not only would the Senator be re-
fused any patronage in the future. but
those who had been appointed upon his
recommendation would DE dismissed from
the service. There has been a feud be-
tween Senator Voorhees, and Secretary
Smith existing for some months, and the
former has not visited the Interior Depart
ment during that time. The recent an
nouncement that Senator voorhees, had
made up his mind to denounce the anti
pension policy OF this administration and
remove the personal pelt of the Secretary
of the Interior caused the latter, it is
stated, to issue orders during the past few
hours that no appointments shall be made
OF any one having Senator Voorhees, in
dorsement. Il was also stated upon the
same authority, which comes from near
Hoke Smith, that two residents Of the Dis
trict of Columbia who had been given po-
sitions at the Interior Department on Sen
ator Voorhees, recommendation had been
removed. When Senator Voorhees, at
tention was called to the report he said he
knew nothing about the correctness Of it,;
that he would not be surprised if it were
true; that he hoped it was true, as he did
not want any favor from Hoke Smith,
either of an official or personal character,
and that it was his purpose as soon as
Congress convenes to deliver a speech in
which he would roundly denounce Hoke
Smith individually and his anti-pension
policy in general. 1t is understood that
Secretary Smith is now making war on
Voorhees, with the view of forcing the Sen
ator to back down from his intention OF

CAUSE OF COMPLAINTS.
A Democratic View of the Charges
Made by "Strippers."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Capt. ]. S.
Hassler. formerly chief clerk Of the Interior
Department. and now receiver Of the Land
Office ct Enid. o. T., is in Washington.
He brings a new version OF the complaints
about the opening of the Cherokee Strip.
The opening. he says, was generally salts
factory, and the complaints come from
those who desire to make trouble and bring
the administration into disrepute. Captain
Hassler says that the chief promoters Of
dissatisfaction are a small faction of DEM
ocrats who were angered because the land
officers and other officials sent to Oklaho-
ma and the Strip were from outside the
Territory. The sending of outside men.
he says. broke up the schemes which had
been formed to capture the best land there
was In the Strip. and a number missed an
opportunity of making money that they had
anticipated. To these disappointed Demo-
Gratis were joined some Republicans who
were anxious to make political capital out
of the affair, and this resulted in all the
charges, complaints and calls for investi-
cations. He says the outcome will be a
vindication Of the course pursued by the
department.
