PowDERLY TO BE oUsrED.
James r. Sovereign Likely to Be the
New Master Workman.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-It was tacitly
understood to-day by the majority of the
delegates to the general assembly of the
Knights of Labor that upon the opening
of the session tomorrow morning Mr.
Powderly's resignation would be almost
unanimously accepted. Members of
the. press committee denied that
any caucus was held to-day, but the
action nineteen OF the delegates seems at
variance of with that statement. A tele-
gram was sent to James r. Sovereign at
Des Moines asking him if he would ac-
cept the Office which Mr.. Powderly
seeks to vacate. II was sent late this
afternoon and was signed by nineteen de-
legates, some of whom have heretofore
been known as being very friendly to the
interests of Mr.. Poverty
AT 30 o'clock tonight reply was re-
ceived by the delegates. In substance,
Mr.. Sovereign said: IF MIR Powderly
has resigned, will accept the office of
general master workman, if tenderrd 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 ti-Powderlyites still hold their
vote of twenty-four, which is majority
and upon re-assembling tomorrow will
get right down to business.
