S PLEDGE. KEEPS H Judge Wilson Defines Himself in Regard to Removing Republicans. Sparks Likely to Step Out Owing to His Fight With Lamar. The Mother of M. H. Day, the Well Known Politician, Dies Near Huron. A Batch of Northwestern News Items Covering a Wide Field. Special to the Globe. Wixoxa, Oct. 17.—The Globe corre spondent called upon Congressman Wil son to-day, and, referring to the special from Owatonna in Saturday's Globe relative to the postoffice at that place, asked what action he intended to take towards putting a Democrat into office. Judge Wilson said: You ask about the Owatonna postoffice and what I propose to do about the same. As that question -teems to be agitating some good people, I Rive you the situation, as I understand it. Before my nomination or election I signed a petition for the appoint ment of Mr. Darby, editor of the People's Press, to tin- place on the expiration of the term of Judge Wheeloek. This I did believ ing thai lie was the choice of the people of thai city generally, including Amos Coggs well. I do not wish to be understood that Mr. Darby made any misrepresentations, He did not, 1 believe lie truthfully represented the situation, us he understood it, and also that he would make a good postmaster. But after the election a meeting of Democrats in Owatonna was called, which recommended Mr. Coggswell's appointment. On learning this I informed Mr. Darby that, as representative, I should feel bound to respect and act in accordance with the wishes of the people, irrespective of my previous action. Mr. Coggswell wrote to me that Judge Wheeloek was about to resign in his favor. Soon alter this I, being in Washington, called on the postmaster gen eral with the view of recommending Mr. Coggswell's appointment on the receipt of Judge Wheelock'B resignation: but the post master general requested me, if the matter was not pressing, not to call it up until after the adjournment of congress, as he, and es pecially the president, were very much en gaged. " On my return home I found TUE NATION OF JUDOS Wilt. BLOCK (to be used only in case of the appointment of Mr. Coggswell), but, before 1 deemed it proper to send it on. Judge Wheeloek wrote me requesting its return. 1 advised Mr. Coggswell of this fact, and on his request it was returned. I was soon thereafter called upon by a friend »£ Mr. Coggswellalso one or my most particular friends— who nrged me to recom mend the removal of Judge Wheeloek and the appointment of Mr. Coggswell. This I declined to do. oK___S You say Mr. Coggswell aided me in the con gressional canvass. This is true. Not only as he been mv personal friend for many years, but last fall, at great inconvenience to himself, he aided me. For these, and for other reasons which need not be here stated, I would be very glad to be able to serve him. But the case stands here: Not only did I run on a platform favoring civil service reform, but I emphatically and repeatedly indorsed the position of the president on this question. I over and over again during the canvass de clared, publicly and privately, that if elected I would not recommend the removal from office of a fit man merely because he was a Republican to make a place for a Democrat. No one could have misunderstood my posi tion on this question. Judge Wheeloek I be lieve to he an upright, honorable man, and, so far as I know, he is a good officer. It is said he is a strict party man. I believe this to be true. But he is no more of a partisan than Mr. Coggswell. If I should act on this ground it would merely show that I sought an excuse to violate my pledges. I could not recommend the removal of Judge Whee loek on such a transparent pretext without personal dishonor and political perfidy, and for that reason I have not recommended it. SPARKS MAY 11ETIRE. An Issue Will be Made Between Him and Lamar and the Presi dent Will Sustain the Latter. Special to the Globe. Washington, Oct. 17.—Gentlemen who know him personally, admire Com missioner Sparks. The abused and vil lified defender of the rights of the set tlers, as he sees them, is a genial gen tleman, and a big hearted man. He is clear headed, industrious, honest, sin cere, implacable when aroused. But he is human. His errors have been com paratively few, when the vast number of cases handled by him are considered; but he has not been infallible. Wherein he has been misled by subordinates, or by misunderstanding and misinterpre tation of the laws, he has undoubtedly been guilty only of errors of the head, and not of the heart. In brief, there' may be better educated, better quali fied, better understood men in the pub lic service, but there are none more honest. William A. J. Sparks is a man of whom his enemies can say nothing than that they differed with him, and that he was possibly wrong. There is no doubt that the frauds which were perpetrated upon the public domain, under the administration of the Repub lican party for many years. WKI.K GIGANTIC, UNUTTERABLY BASE. Commissioner Sparks was not long in office before the evidences of fraudulent entries and timber culture depredations became apparent at every turn and on every hand. The enormity of the crimes which were being perpetrated not only astonished the hew commissioner, but they angered him and made his blood fairly boil with righteous indignations. He struck at the robbers right and left. He clave them to the middle and his blade entered every weak joint of their harness. They moaned, groaned, cursed, swore, gritted and smashed their teeth at him in impotent rage. But, backed by a president with an adamantine back bone, he pursued the even tenor of his way, checkmating them at every step? That they hated him is true; that they ' ied to officially crucify him, is but nat . _al; that they assaulted his character and reputation is as might have been expected. There is a possibility of his official demise. It is possible that lie will soon cease to be. commissioner of the general land office. There is a probability that the end of his official career is near at hand. Honest men will regret it, even though they differ with Mr. Sparks in much of his policy, for they know he is honest and incorrupti ble. The fact is SPARKS IS TERRIBLY in earnest In the matter of the recent decision of the secretary concerning the case of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad indemnity lands. Either he is radically wrong, and has .been in all his conduct of the land office, or else Mr. Damar has been misled into making a dangerously erroneous decis ion. Millions of acres of the public do main are involved. Unfortunately Mr. Sparks has not only expressed his cha grin concerning this important decision in conversation, but he has officially given out his dissatisfaction through the medium of his annual report. More over, he has prepared a letter asking for a review of the decision by the sec retary, and, forgetting his usual pru dence in such matters, he has permitted the fact of the preparation of his letter to be given to the public. These things have excited a feeling of hostility in the nii.nd of Secretary Lamar, and it is not to be expected that he will grant a re view of the case unless there are pre sented to him the strongest poesibie ar guments to demonstrate that he has been misled or mistaken in his decision as promulgated. Besides, it is believed that, rather than reverse the decision, which is supposed to represent a great deal of thought and consideration on the part of Mr. Lamar, the secretary will ask the appointment of a more congenial person to be com sloner. It is well known that Mr. Lamar stands very close to the adminis tration, and that Mr. Cleveland has such high regard for his opinions and beliefs that he will be more than likely to act upon- any recommendation that he might make. As matters now stand, it certainJy does look as though there might be a new commissioner of the general land office within a short period. A CONVENTION CITY.

A FLAG OF TRUCE FLIES Over the Warring Factions .of the Knights of Labor General Assembly. The Administration Gets a Vote of Confidence and Indorsement . All Around, But Barry and Bailey Will Stay and the Board Must { Now Do '-:' Its Best. The internecine - strife between the factions of the executive board of the Knights of Labor took a peculiar turn yesterday and the result, while unsatisfactory to both sides, in'all probability disposes of the threatened dissension from the order of "the anti-Powderly faction. In brief—as the outcome of yesterday's battle the board remains the same with Bailey and Barry retained, while Pow derly has been practically indorsed through a vote of confidence expressing approval in the course of the board. 'I his was the seemingly paradoxical sit uation last night and will be the out come unless Powderly takes the radical step of offering his resolution which some say he has already written and in tends to offer. . The --investigation," as the presen tation of charges against the Powderly faction is termed was resumed yester day morning at 0 o'clock. W. U. Bailey gained the floor and made an address sustaining the charges made by Barry at Saturday's session. It is understood that his remarks took the form .of a general denunciation, and were given in lan guage that was decidedly firceable. He said the leading officers of the assembly stood charged with a series of crimes against the order, which in a court of justice would put them behind the bars. The Knights of Labor is organized for the purpose of carrying out industrial reforms * AND NOT POLITICAL. SCHEMES, of individuals. The investigation had revealed plots conceived by the general officers of the board and carried out in different sections of the country by their tools, who had prostituted." the machinery of the order for the base pur- . poses of personal agrandizement. He denounced John W. Hayes a wire puller and a scheming politician, who had been sent around the country ostensibly using the funds of the order for the advancement of labor interests, but in reality using the money for a far different purpose, at least the evidence presented would indicate as much. . Concerning Powderly Bailey charged that he had sold out the organization to the Catholics, and had employed men who were paid out of the funds of the order without -the knowledge. of the other officers to work for the interests of the church within the order. He claimed the resolution of the committee on law, reducing. the execu tive board to five members, was a scheme to get himself and Bailey out of the way. He claimed that his assembly,. as well as himself, had been treated by Powderly in a manner that clearly indi cated this. Communications sent from his assembly, D. A. 135, of Ohio, had never been reported by the general secretary. In closing he stated that he should not resign, but if removed from the board by the effect of the resolution' he and his friends would leave the assembly. General Secretary Litchman, in reply, denied the charge that any papers from District Assembly 135 had been sup pressed, and reiterated Powderly's statement that Donnelly, the stenog rapher at the general officer, was a Said spy in the interests of the Barry lailey crowd. r-:ZZ ■■-:'.;" AT THE AFTERNOON SESSION things came to a focus, and the result was something of. a surprise to the 1 Powderly side..■_ First, the resolution re ducing the membership to < four and in creasing the power of-Powderly, was; defeated by a vive-voce vote. Then came a resolution from the Pow derly, or administration side, calling for the resignation of all members of the general executive board, and the general officers Barry and Bailey, who of * course suspected. that if this was done a re-election 'would follow which would effectually dispose of them, refused to comply. Powderly, Aylesworth, McGuire.Hayes, Carleton, - Litchman and :'Turner promptly offered their resignations. Seeing that Barry and Bailey would not leave, the assembly* by a vote of 116 to. 63, refused to* accept the resignations offered, and by a vote from which only 25 dissented, passed a resolution in dorsing, without qualification, all the acts of Powderly and the; other mem bers of the board; and expressing im plicit confidence in them. The regular order of i business subse quently transacted, as furnished by the committee on publication, is as follows: The committee on law reported in favor of changing article 13, section 15, of the constitution, which is as follows: "That the elective officers of the general as sembly should consist of a general mas ter workman, general worthy foreman, general secretary and general treasurer. GENERAL, EXECUTIVE BOARD OF SIX in addition to the general master work man, no three of which to be from the same state, and a co-operative board of six. The committee favored an amend ment which favored" the addition of a general investigator and a co-operative board of four instead of six. - Delegate Blame, of D. A. No. 30, of Massachusetts, offered a substitute,' making the executive board consist of six members in addition to the . general master workman, a co-operative board of five, -and a general investigator with a secretary, both women to inquire into the indus trial condition of women, the officers to be elected annually after the October session, 1883. After a brief debate the date of holding elections was withdrawn and the substitute was then put and lost. The report of the committee was also voted down. It was then voted to amend the article in question by insert ing the office of "'general investigator" among the general offices. The recom mendation of the committee changing section 16, so as to make the term of the general officers one year instead of two, was also lost.. The recommendation of Mary Hana [ fin, chairman of the Womans' commis sion, that. a department of womans' work should be created under the direc tion of a general investigator, who should travel, and have a woman secre tary, who should have headquarters at Philadelphia, and maintain a corre spondence in the interest of working women throughout the country, was referred. AN ALLIANCE OFFENSIVE" AND DE ' FENSIVE. ..The following resolutions, presented .by Ralph Beaumont, were adopted: , : Your committee appointed to meet the committee of the Farmers' Alliance submi the following: . .- --7 Whereas, Both committees being, agreed that the evils of which the farmers and me chanics and laborers. complain are the re - suits of unjust laws enacted in the interest of chartered corporations; therefore, be it Resolved, That it is.the opinion of . this joint committee that the most feasible method to redress those evils is for each organization to maintain .at the national capital a com mittee from : each, to consult and confer to gether, with a view to securing such legisla tion as will conduce to the interest and wel fare of both organizations. Resolved, That in case either organization shall fail through inability or otherwise to have a representative committee at the cap ital, the officers of the organization that fails to have its committee at the seat of govern ment shall use their influence with the mem bers of said organization to support the I ac • lions of the committee -of the. organization that is represented upon any question of leg islation upon which the two bodies are in substantial accord, by . the r following meth ods: -•.•'" .. •- :;■ ■'< First— circulating petitions for > signa tures among their own members and. other citizens in favor of; such legislation as . the . commute;, is endeavoring- to promote.

Second—By using their best endeavors to have their members refuse to support the re election of .any member of any legislative" : body who has failed to vote I for. and support any measure that has-received the sanction ' of the executive heads of those two organiza tion, viz. 'The National. Farmers' 'Alliance, ■I and ' the *' Knights of ■ Labor. Be it ' further Agreed that the executive officers of these two organizations shall recommend that a similar course shall bo pursued in the dif ferent states wherever there shall be a branch organization.

The anti-Powderly men last night were quite jubilant over the outcome of yesterday's battle. They claim that the vote of 63 against 116, in demanding the resignation, was an indorsement oy a respectable - portion of the ' assem bly.,: The Powderly men, how ever, state that considerably over half of the sixty-three votes were cast unoer a misapprehension and point to the vote as an indorsement of 'owderly, which was nearly unanimous as showing the true spirit of the assem bly. Although there was some talk, last night among the hot- heads - of an effort to impeach Barry and Bailey, it is probable that the fight is at an end and the executive board will remain unchanged until the next assembly. Delegate Foster— of D. A. 30. of Massachusetts, left for home last night. As he has been one of the leading "antics" this is taken as an indication that the controversey is through with. The real business of the assembly will then be renewed to-day, and will be rushed through so as to allow of adjournment Friday. BOTH SIDES. A Summary of the Charges and the Explanations Given. It is generally understood that the charges made by Messrs. Barry and Berry are to the effect that J. M. Hayes, general secretary of the executive board, is a political schemer and a wire puller. It was charged he has spent money belonging to the order in an effort, to defeat a political aspirant; that he used funds oelonging to the order for his own and his wife's benefit, and that he did some crooked work in con nection with the great Southern strike. Hayes took the floor and by going into details proved to the satisfaction of the convention that the charges against him were false. : It was charged against Powderly that he had used the funds of the order in employing a man in New York to work for the interests of the Catholic church; that he had sent money to Rome to in duce the pope to look with favor on the K. of L., and that he had nominated Hayes for the presidential office. Mr. Powderly explained that Tom O'Reilly, the man employed in New York, was sent by him as embassador to lay the gosition of the K. of L. before Cardinal ribbons, and the money alleged to be sent to Rome was to pay O'Reilly's traveling expenses to Baltimore, and also to • pay his expenses to Canada to explain the condi tion of affairs to Archbishop Taschereau. He stated that the charge that he had paid money to District 149 without.au thority was false, and explained it by saying that action had to be taken at once, and when the board returned the matter was explained and indorsed by the majority of the board. Will Not Visit St. Paul. The following resolution was adopted in declining to visit St. Paul: . "That the representatives of the general as sembly do hereby express their appreciation of and regret their inability to accept the kind invitation of the city council of St. Paul to accept the hospitalities of that city." ; The reason for the adoption of the resolu tion lies in the fact that it is appreciated, that the work of the assembly cannot be con cluded by next Saturday night if any time is spared from the transaction of business. Resolutions indorsing every act of the general master workman and the gen eral executive board were adopted. A Harvest for Lawyers. Special to the Globe. - .. Fargo, Dak., Oct. 17.—Avery strong and elaborate petition has been signed to-day by . a number of citizens inter ested in indemnity, lands, and supposed to have influence with the land depart ment, urging stay of proceedings or re versal, of the '.order, opening the lands to settlement. It insists that squatters are covering . with their shanties the farms of men who bought the lands in good faith and are the right ful owners of them, that they are being annoyed and injured by this illegal in vasion, and many of them will be ruined if forced to give up their farms. The land officials here. expect such a rush of men to file on the 21st that they will be forced to work night and day to accommodate them. There will be filings not only for pre-emptions, but homesteads and tree claims. One at torney reports 300 cases in which he is retained. The matter will be a harvest for land attorneys whether their clients are benefited or not. 77, " . Impaled on a Switch Target. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 17.—Ernest Tendleman, a Bee Line employe, was the victim yesterday of a horrible and peculiar accident. While standing on a platform loading coal on a locomotive tender his foot slipped and he fell head foremost about fifteen feet, striking a switch target, which, entering at the shoulder, was driven clear through his body. There was a knob on the end of . the target which had to be filed off be fore he was extricated. It took thirty-, five minutes to remove the knob and the accumulated rust. before he could be lifted off the target, and during the en tire time of this impalement the man withstood the excrutiating torture, con scious of his situation and of the efforts being made for his rescue. The target was an inch and a half in diameter. He was removed to the hospital, and not withstanping his terrible injuries, the physicians express a hope of saving the unfortunate man's life. •-': **+ - The Kent House Burned. Jamestown, N. V., Oct. 16—The large and elegant Kent House, at Lake wood, on Chautauqua lake, was totally destroyed by fire at 6 o'clock this morn ing. A telephone message to the fire department in this city stated that the Kent, Lakeview and other hotels and cottages were burning. The fire depart ment hurried to the scene and succeeded in saving the Lakewood House and cot tages. The fire totally consumed the the six story Kent House, and damaged six or eight cottages. The burned hotel was the finest on the lake. The total loss will reach $125,000, on which there is an insurance of $36,000 divided among twenty-six companies. The flames orig inated by a lamp explosion in the laundry of the hotel at 5:30 o'clock this morning. The flames spread so rapidly that the employes of the building es caped with difficulty. About a dozen cottages on Lake View avenue were damaged. _ —._______-— Want Heavy Damages. Oshkosh, Wis.. Oct. 17— W. 11.
