Grand Master Workman Powderly Ac-
ouses Wright of Revealing Secrets.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-The general as
sembly Of the Knights of Labor held AN
ther stormy session, and the lie passed
more than once between the administra-
tion and antiadministration delegates.
General Master Workman Powderly ac-
cused James A. Wright Of giving away the
secrets of the order. He declared that
Wright had furnished the information for
the reports printed in morning paper.
Wright denied the accusation vigorous
ly. The delegates looked anxiously for the
report OF the finance committee, which was
promised yesterday, but it was not yet
ready.
II is stated that the committee is divided
upon the report, three of the members de-
string TO vindicate Powderly and two op-
posing this and threatening TO present a
minority report, and the report is delayed
in order that the differences may be adjust
ed if possible
The committee has gone carefully over
the books and accounts of General Secre
tary-Treasurer Hayes, with special refer
ence to the charges Of misrepresentation
Of funds made, and has besides heard evi-
dence from the accused in explanation Of
certain points upon which information
was desired. A resolution requesting the
resignation Of all the general officers was
presented. 1t was promptly referred to the
committee on resolutions, although the
delegate presenting it asked for immedi-
ate action. Powderly, however, would not
have it that way, and it was referred.

ed for a reserve ammunition supply similar
to that maintained by the French govern
ment at Toulon, and e634, 600 should be
used for the strengthening of the moles at
Gibralter
1t is proposed that the programme shall
be executed within 81 years 1t is also

THE LEHIGH CRIPPLED
Strikers Have Effectively Tied
Up the Road.
OTHER LINES MAY BE INVOLVED,
Today the Omcials OF the Road Are TO
Make an Effort TO Run Trains with Nom
union Men aud Green Hands-Both Sides
say the Struggle WIN BE short.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 2l.-Quiet reigns IN
the yards of the Central railroad here.
Hardly a striker is to be seen, and scarcely
a workman is anywhere about the big
freight department. The strike on the
Lehigh Valley road is now complete. The
men at Jersey City had no grievance what
ever, or at least they say they had none,
but that they simply quit under orders
from the Federated Order of Trainmen,
under the superintendent of which the
strike has progressed all along the line OF
the road.
Hardly a wheel turned over the tracks
in the Central yards yesterday. But one
shunter was needed to transfer the various
trains of freight cars which have been pill
ing up since Sunday morning. The rail
road officials claim that they will make no
effort to continue the freight business, and
that they are not worried just at present
in regard to the outcome Of the trouble.
Several hundred men are now out Of EN-
ployment Of their own free will in Jersey
City and because of their sympathy with
the order
Deny There Was Rioting.
During the early part Of the day a small
crowd Of strikers gathered near johnson
avenue bridge, and it was claimed by some
who seemed to be out of sympathy with the
tieup that the crowd indulged in some
small riots. People who live in that vicini-
ty, however, declare that there was no at
tempt on the part of the men 20 molest any
one who had not joined their ranks or to
| otherwise interfere with whatever business
the railroad was enabled 10 do. Toward
noon the small gathering of men dispersed,
and at nightfall hardly striker could be
found. As there does not appear TO be any
| grievance on the part Of the men against
the Lehigh Valley people, the strike in this
section has taken no malicious form what
ever 1t was thought advisable, however,
! to forestall any trouble that might occur
about the yards, whether through the sym
| pathy of the strikers or through the agency
of the strikers enemies, and a small squad
of police was stationed in the offices OF the
Lehigh Valley freight department and dis
tributed about the yards
At Perth Amboy the Lehigh Valley
| brakemen who went out on SATURDAY
night have been joined by the engineer,
and firemen. The swtchmen went out oI
Saturday night After several hours worl
TO ship coal on the docks the attempt wa
abandoned. A green switchman threw
lover and ditched the engine and two cars
No one was injured.
At Phillipsburg the railroad men ar
quiet. They say trouble may be looked 70
at Allentown. All the Brotherhood engi
neers, lremen, telegraph operators AM
switchmen in and around that place ar
out. Every inch Of switching track ther
IS filled with freight and passenger cars.

A MISLEADING REPORT.
Ex-Consui Severance Denies Commissioner
Blounrs Statements.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. LII. w. Sever
ance, late United States consul general at
Hawaii, was asked what he thought OF the
report OF Commissioner Blount in the
main, " said Mr.. Severance. "the report as
published seems Co he entirely misleading
IN regard TO the events OF January last,
which resulted in the overthrow Of the
queen and establishment of the provisional
government. lt was not the result OF a
conspiracy on the part OF a few men, but a
genuine revolution.
There Is no just ground for the charge
that Minister Stevens conspired with the
organizers OF the provisional government
His actions under tue circumstances were
entirely regular and in accordance with
diplomatic custom.
"lhe statement that the landing of the
troops from the Boston was inexcusable
and unnecessary is uniustiiiably false.
l3lount's own report shows that there was
reason TO expect disturbance and blood
shed, endangering the lives aud property
of peaceful Americans The occasion Ger
tainly warranted the landing of the troops
for the protection OF American interests.
Much stress is laid in Blount's report
0n placing troops opposite the government
building. Admiral Skerritt is quoted a.
saying this position was a wise choice i
the intention was TO support the provision
al government. The admiral must havi
been unaware that the troops were no
quartered In Arion hall until efr.,rts to Sc
cure an available place at a diAsA from
the government building had failed. A.
to the nature of Blounts Investigation,
have nothing 10 say except that he did no
appear TO make any discrimination In ne
gard to the credibility or standing Of th
persons whom he questioned.
81 made that remark TO him, and he re
piled that it made no difference what sor
OF position OF standing the witnesses had.

SEIZED CITY LOTS.
A Big Tract of Railroad Land In Spokane
s'Jumpcd" by Boomers.

''Jumpcd" by boomers.
SPOKANE. Wash, Nov. 2l-When the
city awoke Monday morning IL was con
fronted by AN extraordinary spectacle.
During the night 80 boomers had rushed
IN and located lots on the tract known as
Shantytown, owned by the Northern Pa
cifc railroad and situated in the heart of
the city, bordering right upon the business
district
This large tract was long IN dispute
Several years ago it was jumped by squat
ters, but three years ago the Interior de
partment decided against them, and they
were ousted. Recent decisions by the sec
retary of the interior adverse to the rail
road respecting lien land sections started
rumor that this tract had reverted to the
government, and this led to a stampede for
lots Daylight brought renewed activity,
aud before 9 o'clock at least 700 men had
staked ont lots
Policemen caught the infection and joined
In the work of grabbing. During the day
Shantytown was a scene Of great activity
Hundreds of shacks and cabins were be
ing run up, and hundreds OF men stood
guard over their claims At night bonfre'
dotted the site and lanterns cleaned IN
every direction. II is not believed the jump
/ ers have ghost of n show.

Minister Mendonca Hears Some Welcome
News From BrazlI-The Governmens
Troops Pressing tho Insurgents VERY
cioseiy-Firlng on Rio sllenced.
NEW York, Nov. 21.-Senhor Mendonca,
the Brazilian minister at Washington. who
Is stopping at the Hotel Brunswick, told
AN intimate friend that he had received a L
cable dispatch saying that the government
considered there had been an improvement
In It's position. The reason for this belief
was the fact that the fire from the fort oui
the island Of Nillegagnon, which IS in theI
hands Of the insurgents, had been weak
ening
Villegagnon is in the harbor opposite|
Rio and not far from shore. The fort com
mands the entrance to the harbor and has|
been one OF Mello's strongholds. One-haif|
Of the fort Is now in ruins, Minister Mem
donca said
The Notifications on the east side Of the
island have been ruined by the fire FROM
the government forts Of Santa Cruz and
Samoan, which are on two promontories
inclosing the harbor and which face Ville1
gagnon.
donoa said that for five days the insurgent
Admiral AIello had been hiding with his
fleet behind the point Armucao This point
Is across the harbor from Rio and close I'd
the city of Nictheroy, which Mello has
been bombarding, since, by the decision OF
the foreign powers, he was prevented from
bombarding Rio itself Mello is evidently
hushanding his resources and apparently
- I,.
harbor.
A Decisive Advantage.
The minister said further that Nello'i
big magazine, which was blown up recent
| ly, was exploded 10y shots from govern
ment Notifications on the granite bluff OF
the round promontory sheltering the cit.
| of Nictheroy Encouraged by their sue
cess in exploding the magazine and b.
| Mello's inaction, the government force
have recently been moving their fortiica
tions and gone down the bluff to get h
closer range of Mellos fleet.
| Perhaps the most decisive advantng
gained against Mello, according TO Minis
ter Mendonea's remarks to his friend, ha
been the repulse Of Mello's forces in th
state of St Catharine.
The state of St. Catharine is on the coas
about half way between Rio and ri
Grande do Sui the most southerly state c
Brazil Lying of the mainland is the II
land Of St. Catharine, which Mello seize
and where he established his provisioni
| government.
For some time his forces had been plai
ming TO effect landing on the mainlan
and gain footing there. Last Thursdn
they tried TO carry out their plans, an
they made an attack ON point on II
mainland. The government forces ms
them, and after hard struggle repulst
the Insurgents aud drove them off,
These three distinct reverses, the mini
ter remarked, argued an Improvement
the governments position.
Minister Mendonca also expressed Il
opinion that the attempt to restore the en-
pire would be one Of the most powerfl
causes In bringing about the crushing
the revolt. He said il would arouse u
people of Brazil and would create powe
ful outside sentiment against the cause
