ways Of the hotels. Crowds are every
where but delegates are scarce, though
each incoming train brings some. At noon
not more than 100 of the 2S9 delegates have
arrived. Both of the state headquarters
are open. Secretary Rex presides over the
Quay rooms at the Lochiel Hotel, and
Chairman Gilkeson is in command in the
parlors Of the Commonwealth Hotel, where
he was compelled to establish headquarters
yesterday after the Quay people had cap
tured the rooms he had engaged at the
Lochiel.
At both hotels delegates are registering,
and arrangements are being perfected for
the seating of delegates, newspaper men
and spectators in the opera house, where
the convention will be held tomorrow. The
present prospect is that there will be two
sets of admission tickets and an Inevitable
clash of authority.
Whether the clash will be carried to the
extent Of two conventions will probably be
decided by the events oe the day. The
leaders of both sides profess to believe that
there will not be two conventions The fact
remains, however, that both factions are
provided with the usual printing and blank
forms, and are going through the motions
of registering delegates and instructing
them as to the methods Of choosing their
representatives on the standing committees.
The leaders of both factions held confer
ences this morning, but the results Of these
gatherings are not apparent.

HEADQUARTERS CROWDED.
More Room Needed for the Storage Of
Property.

More Room Needed for the Storage of
Property.
The police department is sadly in need
of more room, and unless the Commission
ers can find additional room in the present
building for this department it may be-
come necessary next year to find quarters
for the department elsewhere. Chief
Clerk Sylvester's quarters are terribly
cramped just at present. During the past
few weeks the property that has come into
his hands by reason of his position would
fill several houses. There is no place in
headquarters where all this property can
be stored. and one of the stables is now
being used for the storage of household
property. Among the effects are the goods
that belong to the Biting family, which
include a horse and COW, in addition to
household property. Then he has goods
enough to fill a house, taken on a search
warrant, as well as the effects of Mrs
Skidmore, widow Of Policeman Skid
more. She Is insane. In addition to
all this, he has the stock of goods in the
store of H. A. Nagel, on ~ street. Nagel
Is the man who committed suicide.
An effort will be made to get larger quar-
tiers, and If more rooms in the present
building cannot be spared, Congress will
be asked this winter to make an appropria-
ton sufficient for the renting of another
building.

KNIGHTS TO MEET HERE
The Coming Convention of the Genera
Assembly.
Questions to Be Conxidered-Mr.Mart
Looks for the Election of .
X. of l.. President.

The meeting Of the General Assembly Of
the Knights Of Labor which will be held
in Washington November ID and continue
for two weeks Is expected to be one Of
the most important conventions that has
ever been held in the interests of the
order.
The body will be composed of over one
hundred delegates, who will come from
every section of this country and Canada.
AS the officers who were elected at the
last meeting of the General Assembly were
chosen for two years the session of 1885
will be mainly devoted to discussions in
reference to amending the constitution SO
that the order of the K. Of l.. may be kept
abreast Of the times
In speaking today Of the convention Mr..
H. 3. Martin, a member Of the executive
board, said: THE knights of Labor is
progressive organization and aims to be
able to meet all emergencies as they shall
arise. During the ensuing year there will
undoubtedly arise new questions between
labor and monopoly, and the Knights of
Labor want to be prepared to meet them.
THE proposition of President Cleveland,
through his friend, E. c. Benedict, the
New York banker, that a gold party shall
be founded will undoubtedly command a
full share Of the attention of the General
Assembly. and a plan to knock out the
scheme and also to keep democratic speak
ers from discussing the financial question,
which Is now being considered by promi-
Dent officials Of the order. will certainly re-
ceive the attention 1t will deserve.
I'VE expect" continued Mr. Martin, ito
lay plans at the General Assembly which
shall result in electing a member of the
Knights of Labor to the presidency of the
United States in 1896, and If the next Pres
tdent Is not a member of the *. Of l.. ne
will be man who Is in strong sympathy
with laboring people,
This sort Of talk may not strike the
people of the east very forcibly, but in
the west from which have just returned,
the democrats and republicans are leaving
the old parties and focking in shoals to the
peoples party and If there is to be gold
party candidate, a democratic, republican
and peoples party nominee for the chief
magistracy Of the nation, the latter will be
elected with the greatest ease.
THE Knights Of Labor intend. Of course,
to make their fight in '96 with the peoples
party, and they will see to it that the in
come tax and money questions are present
ed to the people in their true colors
THE Imprisonment of Debs and his as
sociates Of the American Railway Union
will prove to be powerful lever toward
the election Of the peoples party nominee
for the presidency, and plans to give force
to this will be formulated at the meeting
Of the General Assembly"

Harbor ReRuIntionn.

The first case under the new harbor reg
ulations was heard in the Police Court to-
day. Policeman Russell Dean. who is pilot
Of the police boat Joe Blackburn, made
the complaint. He complained that Capt.
Elias Grayson had INSTRUCTED the channel
between the lines Of P and K streets ex-
tended with his vessel, and the defendant
plead guilty. The officer explained to the
court that this was the first case under the
law and he did not care to have a fine i'm
posed.
The river men have had an idea hereto
fore that only the custom house officers had
a right to interfere with them and see that
they obeyed the law, and it was for the
purpose of getting an expression from the
court on this question that the case was
really brought.
The court did not hesitate to decide in
favor of the river police. and the captains
personal bonds were taken.

We have again cared for them after con-

the motherly advice and counsel Of tho
ladies Of the board. through faith and
the general work Of the home. and It 10
the veriest exception where one has not
been deeply grateful for the help she has
received. Many worthy but destitute wo-
men have been sheltered at the home for
days or months. and the usefulness Of the
home has been thus largely Increased,
while the demand upon it is greater. We
ask for q larger appropriation next year,
feeling that we should secure q larger
building. as the drain upon our charity is
far greater than ever before. We ask the

There was a warrant returned to the Po-
lice Court this morning in which Mrs.
Mary S. Marsh, matron Of the Young
Woman's Christian Home, was charged
with assault The warrant was sworn out
by a girl named Said NJ Glider. who sent a
letter to Judge Mills asking that a severe
penalty be imposed. Then she failed to ap-
pear. 1t is said that the Glider girl went
to the home on c street two nights ago

permit. She then screamed and caused a
little excitement When the case was
called in court this morning the Glider girl
failed to answer, and the warrant was nolle

By Associated Presa
HARRISBURG, Pa, August 27.-The ad-
journed meeting of the republican state
committee convened in the Lochiel Hotel
parlors at II o'clock this morning to hear
reports of the subcommittee appointed at
yesterdays meeting. Chairman Gilkeson.
whose duty 1t is to preside over the de-
liberations Of the state committee, con-
tinues to ignore the meeting, which, he
declares, Is unauthorized, because it was
not called together by him, and Temporary
Chairman Thomas v. Cooper occupied the
chair.
Cooper announced that IS of the 121 mem
bers were either present or represented by
proxy.
Congressman Robinson. one Of the men,
berS from Delaware county, who was
active in securing the present session Of
the state committee. replying to a news
paper statement that some Of the names
signed to the call for the meeting Of the
committee were used without authority, de-
clared that he has letters and kilograms
from all Of them authorizing the printing
of their names on the call, and inviting
any one who doubted his word to call at
his room and inspect the documents.
Lieutenant Governor Walter Lyon of
Pittsburg presented the report of the COM
mittee or credentials, which places the
name of H. w. Bardwell of Wyoming coun-
the committee found that Mr.. Bardwell
was chosen under the party rules and was
presented with the proper credentials and
that the delegate chosen in January, when
there was an election of county delega ties
to a convention to choose a candidate to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Congressman Myron B. Wright could not
be delegate under the county rules be-
cause he was not elected within six months
of the meeting of the state convention
Mr.. Lyon further reported that the COM
mittee found that the four contesting dele
gates from the first ward of Philadelphia
and the one from the fifth were properly
chosen, and the committee unanimously
added their names to the roll. With reference
to northumberland county, the legality of
the credentials Of whose three delegates
contested, Mr.. Lyon said the subcommittee
had not full information, and he therefore
reported progress.
Albert Miller of Dauphin county of the
progress.
There being no further business, Con-
gresham Stone Of Allegheny moved that
the committee take a recess until II o'clock
tonight. Agreed to.
Both Mr.. Stone and Temporary Chairman

the Gilkeson roll or the committees roll Ia
to stand.
Ibid you ever hear of such a thing as a
candidate before a convention (for that is
what Gilkeson is) presuming to usurp all
the powers Of the state committee and pack
convention with his own followers? But
can tell you this much, Senator Quays
forces will not bolt the convention. There
will be no necessity of their doing SO. I
believe we have a majority Of the dele
gates, even on the roll made up by Mr..
Gilkeson. We shall have a clear majority
of four men who were fairly elected and
given seats, or If all the contesting dele
gates are admitted and given a half vote

The Situation In Luzerne.

The Quay-Hastings battle is on in
Luzerne county and is growing hotter
every day. The friends of Hastings
have at last become fully aroused and
now propose to make q fight for a full
Hastings delegation. Every Republ-
can paper in the county, with the sim
gle exception of the Pittston Gazette,
has declared against Senator Quay in
the present contest. Even the Halle
ton Sentinel, the leading Republican
paper of the lower end, is in appar-
ent sympathy with the anti-Quayites,
and predicts that the Hazleton legisla-
tive district viii send Hastings dele
gates to the state convention. There
has at no time been much doubt that
the Wilkes-Barre and adjacent districts
would be anti-Quay, but the indications
new are that the delegation of nine will
at the most contain not more than two
or three Quay adherents.
The Luzerne Republicans appear to
be able to see the improperly Of stab
bing Governor Hastings in the back
after he has shown his partialty by
granting all the favors they have asked
at his hands. Some Lackawanna Re-
publicans would do we'll to take a les
son in common gratitude from the Lu-
Zerne brethren.
