scores of people who were around the
corner where the cutting Is said by Will
iams lo hae occurred, but not one of them

looked like a tip. It was that a man
named Houston, who has for a long
time sold falue mustaches around Ker
nan's Theater, had had a difficulty with
another nun. Scrgti Moore started out
and learned Uiat he stopped last "at Van
Ryslck's, at the corner oTPurdy's Court
and First street northwest.
There it was learned that Ilouston had
cone to IViltimoro on last Wednesday.
Yesterday a number of men were ar
rested by Precinct Detective nelan on
suspicion and were taken to the hospital
where Williams lies, but the wounded
man failed to Identify any of them. The

T. A. Cayes, a government clerk, who
lives at No. 121 C street northeast, told
the police at headquarters yesterday after
noon a startling story of the manner In
which he was assaulted and robbed of a
ring at the corner of C street and New
Jersey avenue, at 7 o'clock, Friday evening.
Mr. Cayee does no t see very well, his right
eyu being glass and the ision ot the left
impaired. For tnls reason Le seldom ven
tures out after dark and comes home di
rectly afterofflcehours. OnFriday evening
he was considerably later than usual. He
left the street car at New Jersey avenue
and went Into the Enimctt House.
On leaving there, as he stepped from the
porch. Hired men seemed to come upon
him from the other side or the street. They
crowed upon him so violently that he had
no timer to make an outcry. They struck
and beat him re the pavement, and one of
the ruffians clutched a gold ring which
he wore on tha third, finger of his right
hand. It was torn off. bringing: with it
some of the flesh of the digit and cutting
the finger to the bone.
One of the iceu dealt Mr. Cayes a blow
on the head which stunned him, and leav
ing thematt prostrate on the sidewalk they
scampered off. He madet his way to his
home, only two Bquares distant, and told,
ot his lli-treatmeut. though the case was
not brought to the attention ot the police
till last evening. Dr. Storch was called
in and. treated the lacerated finger, and
Mr. Cayes. Is still under medical treatment
for shock

Locals Cost of Clinrter Deduced.
The only Interruption to the consideration
of the report of the committee on laws at
the afternoon tcsiiou of the general as
sembly of Knights ot Labor was the Intro
duction and adoption of a preamble and
resolution expressing the sympathy of the
knights for the belligerents ot Cuba.
The prcambleand resolution are short, but
emphatic in tone and are as follows:
"Whereas, the Cubans are at present en
gaged in a struggle to achieve their Inde
Iiendence against an alien and tyrannical
goernment, and,
"Whereas, the result of the act of the
contest has made it obvious that the native
forces cannot iiosstbly be subdued and that
a further continuation of the present status
will only tend to deepen the general misery
all over the island of Cuba, and,
GRANT THEM RECOGNITION.
"Whereas, we. as the citizens of the fore
most republic In the world, should at least
be willing to-see that all men fighting for
the liberty of the land of their nativity, and
their own deliverance from foreign op
pression, should have a fair and equal
chance to meet thetr opponents In equal
warfare; therefore, be It
"Resolved that- the general assembly of
the Knights of Labor, representing every
section of the country and all conditions
of humanity, does hereby declare Itself
In favor ot the immediate recognition
of the Cubans as belligerents."
The above preamble and resolution were
adopted without a dissenting voice.
Section 7a, of the laws of the order was
amended so as to permit any one over
sixteen years of age to become a member.
The- exceptions to this rule are manufac
turers ami owners of liquor establishments,
lawyers, bankers, stockholders, and gam
blers. This change dors not prohibit
any member of the order from becoming
a. bartender or a waiter In any place
n here liquor is sold.
RECOGNIZING LAPSED LOCALS.
Section 192. artlchr30, of the constitu
tion was so changed that In the cafes of
"lapsed" locals, five members In good
standing: may constitute a quorum for
the purpose ot reorganization. At pres
ent It requires fen members in good stand
ing to keep a local alive.
The cost ot obtaining a charter for a
new organization lias been reduced from
S13 to $8. The proposed local, however,
most pay all expenses of the organization.
A resolctlon of sympathy for the house
smiths and hridgemen, of New Tork, who

I1V TIlH MASTER. WORKMAN.
Mr. Sowrelsn iind Other Addressed
the Open Meet Ins.
General Master Workman Sovereign and
several of the delegates to the General As
sembly or K. or L-. addresd-a large meet
ing; last evening at Society Temple, comer
of Fifth and G streets northwest.
The meeting was beW. under the aus
pices of Carpenters Council, and was at
tended by nearly every member of the craft
In tin- city. Besides these there were
present representatives of every other
trade.
The meeting: was called to order by Mr.
W. F. Moran, master workman of Carpen
ters' Association No 1748, K. of L., who
requested Mr. W- H. G.Simmons, master
workman D. A. 6. to preside.
The speech of the everting1 was by Master
Workman Sovereign. Though not a car
penter, he-said, he watorn under a car
penter's bench and could therefore pre
sume lotaltto carpenters. Bytradebewas
a stonecutter, a builder of monuments for
the dead and he intended, he said, lo stay
in the buslre-'S until he had erected a tomb
stone over avartce,cupldlty,and capitalism.
He then referred to the arrest or four
men. at Los Angelon. CaL, becauso one
of them spoke to the engineer of a passings
train. This he denounced as even a greater
outrnge-.tr such a thing a ere possible, than
the incarceration of Debs.
These men were sentenced to eighteen
months imprisonment and the worst fea
ture of It all Is that Justice Brewer, ot
the Supreme Court, has Just banded down
an order conflrmmg the opinion ot the
lower court. Bat thlsj was necessary, he
said, for capital demanded It.
The great misfortune to the laboring
classes is. he said, that they spent too
much time and money In efforts to arrange
the question of wages- This Is expending
force in the wrongs direction, for they all
should know that the fundamental principle
of the order Is to atiolish the wage system
altogether and Institute a co operative
plan, for the laboring classes. What ad
vantage would It be. he asked, tor the
-wages to be Increased twice or treble
what they are If the cost of all tht neces
sities of life were proportionately in
creased. None at all. So It could easily be
seen that that should not be the-end aimed
at.
"i: don't know wbatyour wages are. nor
do I want to know. I do know that as
civilization advances so do the arts and
sciences, and with them the neceitles
or society Increase. So It Is that as the
years advance your needs and wants ac
cumulate. Hence the necessity for more
money to provide them.
Mr. IT. J- Lluholm of vChlcago said that
the Knights of Labor had done more to
increase wages and shorten hours ot labor
In the- United States than all other in
fluences combined, but that was not their
ambition. There was another feature, the
education of the masses, whldi they were
striving, tor. and would not cease until they
got It.
Mr. J. M. Kenny of New York, a mem
ber of the national executive board ot the
K. or L.. spoke of the displacement of
workmgmen by tho introduction of ma
chinery hi all branches or trade.
"The- question which confronts us then
is how is this to be counteracted! Will
It be by labor underbidding labor? No, I
hope not. The only hope for a satisfactory
solution of this question is In the success
of the fundamental principles of the K. of
L.. the co-operative system, by w hlch the
laborer can get the benefit ot alt his labor
producos.
"Machinery, whllo It Is a child or the
brain. It -will be noticed Uiat it la the
child ot the worklngman's brain. Tor you
have never heard of an Invention by any
of the 100 or that class."
Short speeches were alio made by
Thomas. McCracken. N. T. A., No. 253.

York: Frank Kelly. No. -19, New York, and
fMr. Paul T. Bowen.

HAVB EFFECTED A COMBINE.
Glenn and McDowell Said to Have
Pooled Their Fight.
Although Congress will assemble two
weeks from yesterday, fewer than thirty
members of the House are In the city. All
are Republicans, excepting four.
These early arrivals aro here princi
pally in the interests of the candidates
for the several. House offices- The contest-
for the clerkship and doorki-cpershlpi
promises to be a. spirited ouev Ex-Itepre-sentativc
McDowell ot Pennsylvania and
J. W. Glenn ot Cuba. N Y., opened their
headquarters at Wtllard's Hotel yester
day. The two gentlemen are understood to
have formed a combination to secure the
offices of clerlr and doorkeeper, respec
tively. Ex-Representative Herderson ot Illinois
is also, a candidate for clerlr, and has In
stalled himeir at the Ebhtlt House. W.
S. Tipton ot Cleveland, Tenn.. who will be
Mr. Glenn's principal competitor for door
keeper, arrived In town yesterday, and
registered at the Ebbits-House, where ho
will make his- headquarters nntll the
meeting of the caucus.
The Kansas representatives-have a can
didate for chaplain In the person of Rev.
H I. Fisher ot Westmoreland, who wa
a prominent abolitionist in that State hi
ante-belfcim days while It was- yet a tetrl
lory. The Ohio representatives say that
they will bring forward a candidate- for
postmaster, bat the report last night was
that they arc unable to agree upon their
man..
The MiSAonrl representatives are asklser
ttint their State be recognized by the
election ot one of their citizens to th
office of seTgeant-at-arms- Their can
didate is Benjamin F. Russell, who re
cently held the office of speaker ot th
lower branch of the state- legislature.
It has been reported that the colored
Republicans of the country desire tha
selection of one ot their number as chaplain,
and It is enderstood that one of thelr
enndidates Is the Rev. Walter H. Brooks,
of this eity. There does cot appear
to be any substantial basis for the report,
and it la generally eloubted.
