A CANE CUTTING MACHINE N
QUEENSLAND,

Nj. joseph Fletcher. F. c.. s., forwards us
plans Of his proposed cane cutting machine,
recently patented iii Queensland.
The machine is an adoption of the plinci.
pies Of the ordinary leaping machine to the
cutting Of sugar cane with such notifications
as fit it for that purpose.
Tie motion is derived from q driving wheel
in contact with the ground. revolving az
drawn by a team q horses, oxen, or in the
larger machines by a steam engine. The
exte ;ol eli circumference Of this wheel is formed
by open bars to permit inequalities in the
ground, stones, rough stools Of cane, etc, to
be passed over. THIS is lolted to the more
solid part, which contains cog work engag-
ing a pinion, which, by an easily understood
system, gives motion to the oane cutter, pro.
i%rcting from The side of the machine. This
cutter s Of peculiar construction, being a saw
made Of small pieces iointed, or loosely
riveted together in such a way that the cut
ting edge is always presented to the standing
cane, whilst it r~evoives around spindles at "a
very rapid rate.
There are means for keeping this cutter
properly stretched. The lying cane ia
b ought up to the cutting edge by two pro-
iecting curved bars mot shown in the draw
iug). The construction Of this saw cutter
permits of very easy repair; a quantity of the
pieces being in stock; a few minutes suffice to
replace g broken section OF nuke q new one
altogether. Protection has been obtained for
a circular saw and for other forms Of saw, but
this joiited cutter appears to be the most all
ventsgeous.
A simple machine, consisting offrame work,
driving wheel and cutter, could be construct
ed for a small sum, and would be sufficient
for farmers growing a few acres of cane; a
pair of horses would be enough to work it,
and the amount of cane cut would be large.
A larger and more ambitious machine pro.
vides that when the cana is cut by similar
means it should fall on ala arrangement of
light chains or wire ropes, having at inter
walls teeth or prongs. forming a bed of rakes
which collect and elevate the canes under
guides TO an upper platform, at one end of
which is a system of revolving knives, by.
which the tops Of the canes are cut of, to fall
behind Il e machine. the dressed cane being
delivered at the side in rows, or on to q
wagon which may accompany the machine.
This arrangement of knives il capable Of
adjustnen (within moderate limits) to the
average length of cans in the field, but short
canes must fall out uncut, to be topped by O.
man following the machine. l HI - 81
With a stationary steam engine, wire cables,
the usual anchors and appliances used in
high grade farming, q very large quantity Of
cane should be harvested in the day. and the
saving Of labor should be considerable. The
cost of such a machine, if it were successful,
would be amply repaid by one seasons work

Sovereign OF Iowa Likely to Knock the

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.--It is tacitly
understood today by majority Of the
delegates to the general assembly OF the
Knights Of Labor that upon the opening
OF the session tomorrow morning Pow
derly's resignation will be almost cer-
tainly accepted. A telegram was sent to
James R. Sovereign at Des Moines. Ia,
asking him if he would accept the Office
which Powderly seeks to vacate. 1t was
sent late this afternoon and signed by
10 delegates, some of whom have here
tofore been known as being very friendly
to the interests of Powderly.
At 7 80 tonight reply was received.
In substance Sovereign said: 'If Pow
derly resigns will accept the Office of
general master workman if rendered me,
and will do all in my power to work for
the good of the order"
This practically puts an end to the
controversy now going on. The anti
Powderlyites still hold vote of "a,
which is majority, and upon reaseem-
bling tomorrow will get right down to
business. Caucusses are being held to-
night by both Powderly's friends and
those of the western favorite, for the
purpose of getting their forces properly
instructed and marshelled for the battle
OF the ballots in the morning. The
friends of Sovereign are loud in their
claims for his victory and his fitting
qualities for the Office.

SAN Francisco. Nov. 26.-The daa-
tsrdly work of train wreckers caused q
bad smash-up at 8 80 o'clock this morn
ing on the coast division of the Southern
Pacific in the outskirts Of this city. A
swith connecting with q short spur Of
track near the house of correction was
thrown open and the red and green
switch lights changed so that the main
track appeared to be all right. when q
heavy freight train from San Jose,
drawn by two engines, came over the
road. The train plunged in upon the
short siding. The engineers and fire
men and two brskemen on the front
cars jumped for their lives and were
only slightly bruised. One engine and
six cars were almost completely de-
stroyed, however, and the other engine
and other cars badly damaged.
Miscreants turned three other switches
in this vicinity. The morning passen-
ger train, carrying 100 men and women,
barely escaped a similar fate. The
engineer had been warned of the
freight wreck and was on the lookout
and brought the train to stop at ore
of the switches.
The outrage is attributed to tramps,
their class in large numbers having
lately bsen refused transportation by
the Southern Pacific, and threats hav-

Eight Men Try to Wreck and Rob Train
in Indians.
GOSHEN, Ind, Nov. 26.-The first sec-
tion of train No. 50, fast meat express
train between Chicago Rnd New York,
pulled into this city last night with
eight desperate robbers on board. Be-
tween this city and Elkhart they made
repeated efforts to uncouple number
q esss u ths asf s1sS 7ffih whIst! st
passes here close behind the meat train.
No. go left Elkhart at 23 this morn
ing, and when q mile away the crew
found eight men concealed between the
cars. The men made an effort to un-
couple the last ten cars, but they failed,
alter hard fight by the trainmen. Five
miles further another attempt was
made to uncouple the cars and q second
fight resulted. which lasted untilthe train
was on the point of pulling into Goshen.
Conductor John Hickock and two
brakemen were badly battered in the
struggle. The engineer whistled for
assistance, and in q few minutes two
officers and crowd of citizens congre-
gated at the train. but the.robbers made
their escape, taking with them the
watches of several OF the trainmen and
small sums of money.
Late in the night, man giving the
name OF Henry Zimmerman was ar
rested and 81, the amount taken from
one brakeman, was found in his shoe.
William Cone was also taken into Gus
tody. and $I2, taken from Conductor
Hickok, found upon him. 1t is be-
lieved by all the officials that the men
intended to leave the uncoupled cars on
the track with the idea OF wrecking the
express train and plundering it. Presi-
dent Newell has offered reward of $500
for each bandit captured. .4

British Grain Trade.

LONDON, Nov. 26.--Stormy weather
and heavy snow in many places is the
record for the week. The season hither-
to has been favorable to crops, which
are looking well. In wheat there was
no selling pressure or demand, and
email prices were quoted in the buyers
favor. Fluctuations in the American
markets have but little influence. The
Russian crop estimates are considered
inflated. There was a good demand
for Russian wheat at low prices.
Californians were prompt at 27s. Cd.
Flour was dull and the very
low prices accepted in America checked

THE LEHIaH STRIKE

Thing of tho Past at Buffal0-vio-
lenco All Along tho Line.
PHILADELPHIA Nov. 26.- Reports from
along the Lehigh road today show that
the situation is practically unchanged.
The company is running good many
trains at irregular intervals and the
strikers are making inroads among the
new employees. Both sides profess to
be equally confident of the result. The
rumors of outbreaks either lack SUBJ
etantiation or particulars are wanting.
A wreck occurred at Perth Amboy be-
tween two freights by which Engineer
Mallory, who WAS taking . strikers
place, lost his life.
Advices from Buffalo indicate that
the strike Is practically declared off
there, but Wilkesbarre still presents a
strong front, and today the company
had cause for considerable complaint as
the result of men interfering with at
tempts to move trains.
BUFFALO, Nov. 26.--At midnight the
Lehigh Valley officials notified all con-
Meeting lines at this point that they
would accept freight for all points on
the Lehigh Valley road. and that the
strike WAS thing of the past.

Immi nent.

HURLEY, Wis.,, Nov. 26.-Gov. George
W. Peck and military staff spent today
on the Gogebic range. furnishing relief
to the idle and suffering minere, several
Thousand of whom have been out of
work many months and are almost in
starving condition. Governor Peck and
party came on special that brought
two full carloads Of provisions and
clothing. and organized. in connection
with the ciEiz6ns. 3 committees on re-
lief and distribution. The governor and
party visited scores OF houses, question
ing the people and looking into their
wants. Many pitiable cases of destitu-
tion were discovered. The mines began
shutting down last June. and at present
there is not single mine in operation
on the entire range, region that mined
something like 100000 tons of ore
last year. Altogether, about $1,000
people are in helpless condition, but
they are not near so badly off as the
miners across the line in Michigan.
Governor Rich of Michigan yesterday
issued an appeal for aid for the unem-
ployed in the upper peninsula and one
car load of provisions was started today
from Lansing to lronwood and Bessemer.
An official at Ironwood stated to an AS
sociated Press correspondent that the
men were getting desperate, and unless
aid came within few days there would
be an outbreak and bread riots. Thus
far the unemployed have been very or
derly, but they are now desperate from
continued destitution. To add to the
horror of the situation in Ironwood,
there has been typhoid fever epidemic.
The indications are that about 10000 or
IL 600 of these people will have to be
fed and clothed until spring.
