Knights of Labor Denounee Privileges
 Accorded National Banks.

Accorded National Banks.
 Rochester. Nov. 20,-The General As sembly, Knights of Labor, had rather
 lively session this morning. The rec
 concentrations of General Master
 Workman Sovereign were endorsed by
 the adoption of an addition to plank
 IT of the preamble of the order to
 read;
 And that gold and silver when so
 issued shall be by free and unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, regard less of the action of any other nation" :"
 The following resolutions sent in by District Assembly No. Al of Maryland
 were adopted:
 Whereas, It is believed by many, and is now a demonstrable fact, that the
 great objection by the money power of
 the public to the democratic and peo- ple's party platforms in the recent cam paign were those blanks which found their basis in the sixteenth plank of
 the preamble of the Knights of Labor and which plank in brief put the party in line with the people in opposition to
 the issuance of more government bonds and favored the issuance by the gov- ernment of all necessary medium of ex" change direct to the people without the
 intervention of the banks; and Whereas. That various chambers of commerce and boards of trade and
 banking associations of every kind have
 already commenced their warfare on the currency known as greenbacks and treasury notes With view to having them all retired and at interest bear ing bonds issued therefor, thereby leaV- ing the circulating medium of the peo- pie entirely under the control of the national banks of the country; therefor be it
 II Resolved, That the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, in convention assembled, denounce this attempt so soon to be made to take from the gov 'ernment of the people the sovereign right to issue money, and we pledge ourselves to renewed efforts to defeat | this nefarious scheme.
 Resolved, That we call on the people everywhere to watch their representa- 1 tives in congress and demand from l them such legislation as will continue | the use of and issuance of government | money of private corporations (national banks) and the reservation of the peo- ple's sovereign rights as enunciated by | Hamilton, Jefferson and Jackson The proposition to abolish the mileage | tax imposed for the delegates to the
 general assembly was defeated.

MORE ARrI1AERY NEEDED.
General Ruger Says the Army should be
 Strengthened in This Manner.

Washington, Nov 2O,--The annual re- ports of the commanding officers of the several military departments of the army were made public to-day.
 General Thomas II. Ruger, command ing the Department of the East, states that the association of the troops with state forces for purposes of instruction has been productive of good results He deems it especially desirable that state artillery organizations should be drilled for coast defence purposes. But few of the states, for evident reasons, have organizations of heavy artillery. It would be well, he says, that action be had to induce in each state in which there are sea coast defensive works designation of regiment or of certain companies of the state troops as heavy artillery without abandonment neces- sarily of their instruction in general as infantry.
 General Ruger adds: Practice has been had by some and is in progress by other of the garrisons of heavy ar tillery with the new high power guns and mortars at the stations where they are in position. Such practice has been generally satisfactory in result It has demonstrated that facility in operating the appliances for such guns IS readily acquired by the men in the batteries when inteIligentIy directed
 Tt seems almost supertiuous to al Jude in this report to the necessity for an increase of the artillery force, so fully has the case been presented In re- ports heretofore submitted by the war department The present force is mad equate as reliable basis for the event of war with maritime power. The most pressing needs, in respect to the personnel of the army, is an increase or the artillery force"
 He adds, however, that the present state is in gratifying contrast to that of a few years past

FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Report by the Press Censor of Several Re-
 cent Engagements.

cent Engagements.
 Havana, Nov. 20.--It is officially an- nounced that on Wednesday last the column commanded by General Lopez Amor and the forces under Colonel Ar minan met 1000 rebels, led by Serafino Sanchez. The insurgents occupied good positions. which commanded the river After an engagement which lasted two hours the troops forced their way across the river, dispersed the rebels and encamped in the positions that had been held by them.
 The insurgents carried their wound ed with them. It is stated the rebels buried sixty of their number killed ill the fight,
 Cuban sympathizers here question the truth of the government report and say it is incredible that the insurgents, when retreating from the troops, would stop to bury their dead. The Spanish losses are said to have been one lieu tenant killed and two lieutenants and twenty privates wounded.
 Several other reports of unimportant engagements in which the Spaniards were uniformly victorious are issued by the government.
 Operations in the province of Pinar del Rio are apparently at a. standstill. There has been no serious encounter re- ported since the engagement with Mu- nos. No information is vouchsafed re- garding the movementss of General Weyler, and the impression grows that the authorities know nothing ahouf him. He is unoff1cially located at San Cristobal, but nothing definite is known as to his whereabouts.
 General Luque reports that the reb- els, Sanchez and Moles. were killed, and Carrillo wounded, in an engage ment with his command at Damas. The insurgents, according to General Luque, had more than 100 killed and wounded. The general makes no men, ton of his own losses.

HARV4RD AND U. OF F.
Probability That Pennsylvania Will be
 Victorious.


 Boston, Nov 20.-The great football game between Harvard and Pennsyl- vania takes place tomorrow afternoon in Pheladelphia. The common opinion seems to be that if the crimson develop some unexpected strength they may win. but that Pennsylvania will prob- ably be victorious. Dunlop, probably, will be unable to even enter the game, and Cozzens likewise, is debarred through injuries. Hence Captain Wrightington's colleague at half back will be substitute, either Liyermore or Brine Haughton and Wheeler will be at their places as tackles, and Frank Shaw is to take Doucette's place at center. The rest of the varsity lineup will be as follows:
 Ends, o. Cabot and Moulton; guards, Bouve and N. Shaw: quarter, Arthur Beale, and Brown, full back.
 Tomorrow at Cambridge the annual game takes place between the Harvard and Pennsylvania freshmen. Last year the game was won by Harvard at Philadelphia, F to 6. This year the outcome is uncertain as there has been no way to compare the two teams

Hon. W. D. Bynum to Visit Different
 States in Its Interest.
 Indianapolis, Nov. 2o.-The Hon. w. D. Bynum will go to New York to- morrow and visit several cities in the east to confer with leaders in the na- tional democratic party. It is impos- sible after his return a meeting of the national committee will be called for this city or Chicago. It is the inten- tion to keep the organization of the national democratic party intact. The leaders of the party have noted with care the evident intention Of Altgeld, Bryan and other leaders of the late campaign to hold the party in line for silver and all the other blanks of the Chicago platform, and this gives them an additional incentive for maintain ing their organization.
 Speaking of the future, MT Bynum said: "The national democratic party will last as long as there is any danger to the country from agitation along the lines of the Chicago platform.

If there is weak spot in the body, dis
ease germs will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is a predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gen
eral, it is dangerous Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard against disease. Debility of
any kind is a direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures IS per
cent of all cases of consumption if taken
in the early stages of the disease, is that
it puts the whole body into a hearty,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber-
cular matter is thrown off BY the
lungs, and the pure, rich blood cours-
ing through them, quickly stops the
inflammation heals the broken MEM
branes and makes the lungs perfectly
strong and sound. Consumption is
marked by wasting away Of the bodily

flesh brings or consumption. Doctor

A Kansas Congressman.

The New York Journal, in recent is
sue, prints a picture Of a fat grotesque
looking figure with alfalfa hair, and says
''What you now behold is magnificent
outline sketch of one Blue, who performs
as congressman at large from that land of
suntiowers and kiln dried Republicanism
the State of Kansas. Blue has the front
of a statesman, and wears glasses, as did
Daniel Webster, whom he does not other
wise resemble. What the casual glance
might take for a growth of lilacs over
each ear, is an uprising of mutinous hair.
On the dome Of Blue the vegetation is not
robust He is quite rinky and bald, in
sooth, save for few lichens and edel-
weiss which here struggle for life. What
you note in his hand is volume of the
Connecticut blue laws, Of which Blue
claims his grandsire was the author. In
1S41, in Wood county, that State, Blue
was born Virginia gentleman. Becom-
ing dissatisfied with a nobility of bacon
and corn pone, and longing for three
meals day and wider life, Blue went
to Kansas After that they strove to head
him off in vain. Blue plunged into poll
tics, and with Excelsior for his motto,
kept onward and upward until he landed
In his present seat in the house Of repre-
sentatives. Here Blue is resting for the
present, like some tired traveller at some
waysde inn. Eft soon, however, he will
breathe dampness on his hands, seize des-
tiny again by the tail, and plunge away
through unchartered space, the comet of
politics that he is.
