SOVEREIGN STEPS DOWN.
Grand Master Workman K. of L, Retirei
From Office.

Louisville, KY, November l2.-James
master workman of the Knights of Labor
for the past four years or more, was this
AFTERNOON relieved of his Office by the
general assembly which has been in
session in this city since Monday last.
Under ordinary conditions Mr.. Sover-
eign's term of office would not expire
until the next meeting.
Along with Mr.. Sovereign there were
three other officers retired because of their
special election, viz: l.. B. MCGUIRE,
general worthy foreman, of Amsterdam,
N. T.; Daniel Brown of Montana, and
H. B. Martin of Minnesota, members of
the executive committee.
Henry A. Hicks of District 253, New
York city, was chosen to fill Mr.. Sover-
eign's place, and /. d. Chamberlain of
Pueblo, Colo, was selected as general
worthy foreman. f. Fitzpatrick of Mont
real and Henry Bostocock of Assembly
300, glassworkers. were chosen as the
two members of the executive board, the
third member being Andrew d. Best.
This very decided change in the corps
of general officers of the Knights of
Labor, will cause considerable astonish-
ment in the labor circles throughout the
country. Save to those who were on the
inside, SO to speak. for the past three
months there was absolutely nothing of
this known. 1t is said though, the
change was sudden and totally unlocked
for, it was done with the amicable con
sent of all.
= IN some quarters it is limited that ii
had been prearranged before the dele
gates gathered in this city for the general
assembly. On good authority 1t is learned
that it was with Mr.. Sovereign's most
hearty approval that he steps down and
out. Mr.. Sovereign stated tonight that
he wished retirement. He wanted rest
from the labors which the office entailed

BURGLARS IN BOWDOINHAM.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.I

Bowoinham. November 12.-This town
was visited by burglars Thursday night,
several brakes being made. From traces
which the burglars left behind, it is
judged, they first visited the shop of NJ
81. Bibber and tine blacksmith shop of
Mr.. Curtis, where they secured chisels
and drills. They must then have proceed

pennies, then to the freight office of the
M. G. r. r., which has small old-fash-
toned safe in which no money is usually
kept This safe was drilled with two
holes and blown, powder being used. The
attempt was futile as the charge was not
heavy enough to open the door, or the
thieveswere frightened away before finish
ing the job. There is no clue other than
several suspicious strangers having been
seen in town the evening before the
breaks,

ond goal by carrying the ball through q
swarm OF Augusta men from one end of
the hall to the Augusta cage, where he
popped it into the goal with the greatest
of ease. This encouraged Portland to
drop the Augusta style of playing and
got down to business. Morton got the
third goal on bit OF clever team work
which frightened, up theaaudience as the
appearance OF the sun on a cloudy day
might brighten up Sunday school pic
mic. Then Portland allowed Augusta to
Ing business and the result was the tieing
of the score just before the third period
was ended.
1t was now necessary to play overtime
and though Portland worked hard they
were handicapped by injuries to players
and one thing or another so that it was
over ten minutes before the deciding goal
was won. The first thing that happened
was a dirty foul by Malone who DELHI
erately and without apparent treason
smashed Lincoln over the head with his
polo stick and laid the clever young play
er almost senseless on the floor with a
bump as large as a hens egg disfguring
his countenance. Malone was roundly
Missed for this, but he didn't seem to
mind it and apparently felt quite proud
OF what he had done. Lincoln retired
and Whipple took his place. A moment
later Whipple's skate went to pieces and
he was obliged to retire. Lincoln was
still suffering much pain, but the mo-
ment Manager Durham asked him t.
take the floor again he was out like a
fash and had the honor of caging Port
lands fourth goal and winning the game.
Morton was also badly injured in the last
few minutes of play by the roughness of
the Augusta play and for time our
chances seemed poor indeed, but he too re-
sumed work and after John Allen had
distinguished himself once or twice more
by making some difficult stops, Curtis
passed the ball to Lincoln who cleverly
Gagged it, winning the game.
The line up and summary:
Portland-Curtis, Lincoln, rushers;
Whipple, Morton, centre; Jean, half
back; Allen, goal
Augusta-Tu Schofeld. rushers;
Perry, centre; Malone, half back; Muir
ply, goal.

WHY DURANT WAS RETRIEVED.

San Francisco. November lathe stay
in the execution of Durant, granted by
the Supreme Court, Thursday, was be-
cause of the error of Superior Judge
Bahrs in sentencing Durant before the
papers in the United States Supreme
Court decision had arrived. Judge Bahrs
yesterday, on the strength of dispatches
from the Attorney General of California.
sentenced Durant to be hanged Friday.
The condemned mans counsel quickly
seized this point and urged it today be-
fore the Supreme Court, which was forced
to stay the execution. This stay, however,
Will not last beyond early next week,
when the papers viii arrive from Wash
ington. All habeas corpus proceedings
were ruled out here today by Judge De-
Haven, and then Judge Morrow followed
this by refusing to permit another appeal
to the Federal Supreme Court. So if
the stay OF execution is dissolved next
week, nothing will save Durant frcpa the
gal lows.

PhlLLiPS-EXETER WON.
Defeated Her Old Rival PhilIips-Andover
at Foot Ball Yesterday

Exeter. N. H., November 12.-Phillips-
Exeter downed her old rival, Phillips
Andoyer, at foot ball today in one of the
best and oleanest contests ever played be-
tween these twoleading preparatorylsohools
of New England. The score was IS to IA,
but five minutes more of play would have
undoubtedly enabled Andover to make
another touchdown, and with goa
would have won the game. AS it was
Exeter took brace just in time, and just
managed to hold their opponents and pre-
vent further scoring. Another game thar
football would have been put over tc
some more propitious day. The field from
which three inches of snow had been
removed just before the game, was mass
of mud, while as it sloped off somewhat,
the south goal posts stood in six inches
of water, with the flood extending 20 feet
into the field. Through this quagmire
Exeter pushed over and steadily back in
the first half and scored two touchdowns
and Andover did the same thing in the
second half, while fatal tumble by
Schrieber at the kickoff i'll the latter
half. enabled Exeter after hard rushing
to score the odd touchdown and win the
game.
With weight on her side Exeter easily
outplayed Andover for two thirds of the
game, the former eleven allowing them
selves to be discouraged over a safety, and
from that time Andover had them on the
run A line which was yeritable stone
wall in the end, proved mere paper to
the Andover backs and big holes were
ripped in the Exeter line where before
not an Andover man could get an arm
through.
Contrary to expectations Andover was
surprisingly slow in getting her plays
started, while Exeter jumped into for
nation with dash that was irresistible.
Though the rain and snow stopped fall
ing an hour or two before the game
every player was wet to the sikh in five
minutes after play began, yet both teams
handled the slippery ball remarkably
well and fumbles were comparatively
rare. The ball, however, seemed more
elusive in the second half and each side
made errors which proved costly.
As there were no long runs in the game
and but little kicking, it was hard to
pick out any individual work which was
particularly noticeable.
Syphax's plunges in the first half en-
abled Exeter to push its rival steadily
down the field, while for Andover, Roby
second half. Elliott was easily the SUI
perior of Lynd. but the latter did not
miss single try for goal.
Shaw, Exeter's left end, also showed
up well and Andover's runs in that di-
rection, especially when making the big
brace in the second half, resulted always
in loss. Both quarterbacks ran their
teams we'll, Quimby being slightly bet
ter than Baldwin.
Only one man was injured during the
entire game and he not seriously. The

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Question Discussed by Massachusetts
Reform Climb.
QUEEN LlL'S SECRETARY PALMER
ONE OF THE SPEAKERS.

Moorfieid Storey Also Thinks We Do Not
Need the Island-Prof. Hollis and Con
sui General Gilman Take Opposite
Side.
.boston, November lathe Hawaiian
question was discussed at the dinner OF
the Massachusetts Reform club at
foung's tonight. Edward Atkinson
presided. The speakers were Capt. Julius
A. Palmer, formerly Secretary to Queen
Lilioukalani, and Hon. Moorfield Storey,
who spoke in opposition to annexation,
and Prof. Ira N. Hollis, of Harvard
university, and Gorham d. Gilman, con-
sui general of Hawaii in favor of it,
Captain Palmer who spoke first said
"We do not need Pearl Harbor. They
have coded Pearl Harbor tol us, but it
is Of no use.
Morfield Storey said: "The question Of
Hawaiian annexation is perhaps as i'm.
portant question as the country has
been called upon to pass for long time.
We are asked to annex these islands
tweny-one hundred miles away. Why
should we be asked to annex these islands
while we do not consider other valuable
possessions quite as valuable, land con-
tiguous to our own? Because the inhabi.
tants of those islands are weak.
"But supposing all the citizens OF
Hawaii should ask for annexation, why
should we take them in? 1t is said we
need the islands in case of war. But /
defy any one to tell what nation threatens
us in this war. The statesmen who now
threatens our peace are not of foreign
governments. (Great applause). The
preachers of war are all to be found under
the dome of our own capital.
''The citizens of Hawaii are not at to
be admitted to citizenship of the United
States. Annexation means introducing
into our body polite corrupting element.
1t means enormous expense and it is a
crime for us to consider it, until after
every man in Hawaii has had chance
to vote upon it"
