SOVEREIGN FINALLY ktPUDIATEO,
Knights of Labor DenOunce the
Master Workman.
A district Assembly Passes Stirring
Resolutions.
Working People Cautioned to Have
Nothing to DO with Sovereign,
Bpys and Other Leaders.

PROVIDENCE, r l.. Jan. 20-A long
expected meeting OF district assembly
SO, Knights of Labor, was held in this
city this evening, and it resulted in the
passage OF resolutions denouncing the
high officials OF the organization and
csutioning workmep 10 bewars of them.
The attendance, which included several
knights from other New Eagland states,
was unusually large.
District Master Workman Gamer
began the criticism of General Master
Workman Sovereign, claiming that the
proclamation during the Pullman strike
and other erratic moves were Of the most
foolhardy character.
Edward MoCaffery, delegate to the
New Orleans general conference from
this assembly, made his report. which
showed that more than 38 900 mem bers
had withdrawn from the order during
the year; the Philadelphia property
had recently been mortgsgsd, and as no
report OF the financial condition OF the
order had been made, its exact status
could not be determined. He charged
Sovereign with having been responsible
for the Pullman strike, and said he used
Debs az tool. The following resoiu-
tions were then adopted by eunanimous
vote:
To the members of the X. OF L. and
the working people o! America:
Whereas, Certain men, towit: ]. h.
Sovereign, John W. Hays. M. J. Bishop,
t. B. Mcclure. Henry B. Martin, j. M.
Kenny and G. H. French, claiming to
represent the order OF Knights Of La
Dor, are endeavoring to collect money
from the working people OF this country
to support themselves in idleness and to
enable them to barter with leaders OF
political parties for the prestige which
the order OF which they are the alleged
representatives, is supposed to possess,
be it
Resolved, That as the power to lend
influence to trucking knaves whose aim
10 to barter the SURFACES OF the mem
bers of this order, comes from the mem.
bership that contributes its revenues
and the best means OF thwarting the
schemes of designing scoundrels, is to
cut off their revenue, we pledge our
selves not to pay another cent OF tax to
these alleged general officers, and we call
on ali local assem- blies in the country to
take like action.
Resolved, That we caution all work.
ing people in the United States to have
nothing whatsver to do with j. r. Sow
eregn or John w. Hays, whose only
aim in the labor movement is to line
their pockets.
Resolved, That District Assembly 90
hold itself ready to cooperate with the
various branches that are to meet at
Columb ua, o., in February next in an
effort to reorganize the order.
The assembly then proceeded to elect
officers, and P. H. Qlinn. who was de-
posed without trial by the Sovereign
Hays faction some few months ago. was
unanimously reelected district master

Commander Ohadwick's ANIMAL Report as
Il I
Chief Of the Bureau.
On Account of the Low Price of Coal
Some Money Will He Turned Back
Into the Treasury.

Commander F. E. Chadwick, chief of the
bureau of equipment, has made report to
the Secretary of the Navy of the business
operations of the bureau as, we'll as the op-
erations of the naval observatory and the
nautical almanac. By reason of the low
price at which coal has been purchased ana
of economy in other expenditures, 1t Is
thought that about $4,000 Will be turned
back TO the treasury from the appropr.a-
ton equipment of vessels" The sum OF
$685.. .39S.I4 was expended for labor at the
several navy yards in equippng ships OF the
navy. There was expended abroad for
equipment supplies the sum of 1891 ,!}2i y.
or this amount $780, 1871 was expended for
1885 tons of coal, an average cost per ton
of 81.
Much difficulty has been experienced in
obtaining satisfactory iron for chain cables.
but it is hoped this question is now solved.
Ninety-eight thousand six hundred and
fifteen tons of coal were purchased last
year. as against "a, 4,:s36 tons for the preceding
year. Forty-seven thousand nine hundred
and eighty-hve tons were purchased abroad
In 1893. as against 81, l46 tons in 1874, at a
decreased cost per ton in 1895 of 81. .4S The
average cost of all coal in 1895 was $5.35,
as against $G.7S In 1894. Had We paid as
much in 1888 as in the year preceding there
would have been deficit of $116,oOO. A
large saving was made on the cost of coal
supplied i'll the West Indies by sending a
supply there from the United States. Coal
is being supplied there now by dealers on
comparatively &C satisfactory terms.
There We're purchased at home 50,GD tons
of coal, costing slS1, 1885, of which quantity
~. TAG tons were purchased on the Atlantic
coast at an average cost of 81 per ton,
and 5,SSi tons on the Pacific coast at an
average cost of $6 20 per ton.
OF total of S3,039 tons of coal used by
the new ships of the navy 44.34S tons. or
53.4 per cent, was for steaming purposes,
ard 3S.691, or 46.6 per cent. was for aux
iliary purposes, under which latter head
are included electric lighting. disulling.
heating, flushing water closets. cooking,
ventilation and steam-cutter service. This
percentage is much higher than that of last
year, viz, 20 per cent
Much valuable information regarding the

Endeavors have been constant to amend

specifications, ii is expected. will make
more even the purchases at the different
stations where heretofore outfits have de-
