A NATIONAL UNION
OF stoEle and Cigar Makers Formed by
Garfield Asssmbly-NIr. W. II. Riley Of
this City, Is President.

OF stogle and Cigar Makers Formed by
Garfield Asssmbly-Mr. W. II. Riley Of
this City, Is President.
For many years Garfield Assembly,
No. l72t. made up of the hundreds OF
stogie makers of Wheeling and the sur
rounding towns, has been affiliated
with the Knights OF Labor, which, I'M
der the conservative and able leader
ship of Powderly. was for time SUCH
great power in the world of organized
labor. Since Sovereign and leaders Of
his stripe have been IN control the
Knights have fallen OF IN membership
until, at the present day. there Is but
a fragment OF the great strength OF
several years ago. Garfield Assembly
has stuck to the knights OF Labor
through thick and thin, but Sovereign
and his radical measures have been
too much for them. a few days ago
1t was stated that the Wheeling or
ganlzatlon was about 10 withdraw.
since then the final steps have been
taken and Garfield Assembly Is no lun-
ger part OF the knights of Labor.
Rather quietly the members Of Gar
field Assembly and representatives OF
the stogie making industry in Pitts
burgh, got together In the Smoky City
last week and organized a national Or
ganizatlOn OF their own. which IS call
ed the Stogie and Cigar Makers
League of North America. A member
OF the local organization, Mr.. w. II.
Riley, formerly president OF the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly, has
been elected president At present the
a. NJ Wan n
stogie and cigar makers of Wheeling
and Pittsburgh, but President Riley
saws II IS the Intention of the league TO
form local unions all over the country,
and orga nizers will soon begin work
along that line.
The new labor body is organized
principally for the stogic makers and
makers Of the cheaper grades OF cigars.
The National Association Of Cigar
Makers, an organization that is atiilia
ted with the American Federation Of
Labor. would have been the organlza-
lion to which Garfield Assembly would
have turned after having determined
10 drop out Of the sinking ship, knights
Of Labor, but this course was not taken
for the reason that that organization
dlscriminates unfairly against stogle
makers and makers OF the cheap ell
CARS.
1t appears that the league flls n
niche in the labor world that had not
been covered before. and prosperous
future Is predicted by those who have
launched the craft. Speaking OF the
knights OF Labor, Mr. Riley said. last
evening;
Sovereign was too much for us, and
as his policy IS wreckinE that once

case OF the Mississippi flood sufferers when
S20O,000 was appropriated and only S75, 600 ex-
pended.
The task OF getting supplies to the Klon-
dixie in mid-wiuter is not under-estimated
and doubts are entertained as to its posi-
biity. Dyea can be reached by steamer.
Thence the journey Is one OF ZOO miles over
the mountains, through deep drifts OF soft,
loose snow. The sun shines for only about
Ave hours in each twenty-four and the ther-
mometer often is down to 80 and GO degrees
below zero 1t is believed an expedition
cannot reach the Klondike before February
at the earliest and the hope is expressed
that there is a sufficient supply OF food 10
last until then. 1t Is estimated there are
5000 people in the gold country. dispatch
recently stated that 10000 head of horses
and cattle were in the country. Com
missioner Smith at Dyea wires the
government that such is not the fact. He
says that 1000 sheep started over the Dyea
tail and that 1t Is believed they reached the
mines. Sometime ago 800 sheep were sent
down tho Yukon, OF which 200 may have
reached the Klondike. Secretary Alger be-
lieves that Captain Ray has gone to Dawson
and that he will make his way back and re-
por, upon conditions there. Nothing has
been heard from him since he left for the
Yukon, but the secretary expects advices

MEMBERS GATHER SLOWLY

Though Session Begins Monday.

selves on Cubnn Question In
Advance of the Presidents
s Message,

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O,-Members of con-
gress are unusually slow in putting in their
appearance here for the regular session,
which convenos next Monday. Up to this
time there have been scarcely more than
half dozen arrivals each day. From now
on however 1t is expected that the rush VIII
begin, and that a very full attendance will
be in their places on the opening day,
Few of the leaders OF either house are
here yet. This is especially true of the house
Of representatives. Neither Speaker Reed
nor Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader of the ma
jority. will reach Washington until Satur-
day or Sunday
With the exception of pronounced and rad
ical pro and anti-Cuban congressman, the
members Of both houses as rule, seem to
be holding their judgments in allegiance until
they ascertain from official sources exactly
what the situation is as to Cuba.
In the matter Of the currency 1t seems al
ready established that the democrats and
their free silver alliss will oppose stubbornly
anything the majority is likely to propose
and the fact that the opposition in the SEN
ate seem insurmountable, inclines many of
the republican members of the house to the
opinion that 1t would be wisdom not to
attempt any legislation whatever
MIR. HEPBURN'S OPINION.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa is one of these. He
thinks the futility Of passing measure in
the senate makes 1t ineXpedent for the
house to attempt to put through bill, and
besides he doubts the propriety of the repub-
licons of the house attempting to make a
republican policy upon a subject upon which
the republican platform does not speak to
the point. He says that If the president
should. as reported, recommend any scheme
for the retirement of the greenbacks 1t
would be beyond the republican platform
and every republican would be free to sup
port or oppose it, as his judgment indicated.
There is some talk of a republican caucus
on this question, many of the members be-
lieving that If currency measure Is to be
passed. differences could be most easily ad-
justed and concerted action secured in this
way.
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts, chairman OF
the committee on banking and currency,
some time ago sent lstter to every member
of his committee urging the Importance OF
currency legislation and asking each mem,
Der to be prepared as soon after the opening
of the session as possible to work to the end
that some measure may be submitted to the
house for action.

RELIEF MEASURES FOR MINERS.
Action AUST lie Deferred Until Ap-
DrOpriatiOn In Made.

WASHINGTON, Nov 30.-The cabinet to-
day considered the subject of sending relief
to the people in the Klondlke. President
Mckinley received telegram from the Port
land, Ore, Chamber of Commerce stating
that there was danger Of destltutlon and suf-
fering on the Klondike, and Offering to sup
ply the necessary food for them If the gov
ernment would undertake it's transportation
The information was not definite as to the
actual conditions, but was on the same line
that had been tslegraphed from the north
west. The cabinet considered every phase
OF the situation and discussed ways and
means of affording relief
1t was decided that nothing could be done
until congress met, when an APPROPRIATION
would be asked for the purpose of transport
ing food supplies. Although many olons
have been discussed none has been decided
upon 1t is probable, however, that what
ever action is taken will be under the dlrec-
ion OF the War department, and by the time
congress acts Secretary Alger will have
formulated plans. No attempt will be made
to go to the Yukon. as the ice has closed
progress In that direction. The relief sup
plies will have to be sent over the passes. Just
how they shall be transported is a
one that will require the study of many
plans in order that an entirely feasible one
may be evolved. Secretary Alger will gather
all possible information and viii commun-
cate with persons VINO know the route to the
Klondike and are familiar with the trans
portation methods in the Arctic and other
frozen regions. Reindeer and dogs possibly
may be used and there Is also a suggestion
that the steam snow shovel, which has been
successfully used in the deep snow OF the
logging camps may be utilized. Secretary
Alger has confidence in 1t as a means OF
transportation.
The members of the cabinet were all in
tensely interested in The matter of securing
relief Whether the men who az supposed to
he suffering went there or not against the
repeated warnings Of all officials is beyond
the question. the simple fact being that they
pegatiye upon the government to extend aid
n possible.
No estimate has been made as to the cost
and none can be prepared now. Congress
will be asked to appropriate a sufficient
amount and the War department will expend
