New York, June 20.—Powderly, in
his letter to Compters, today, agreeing to
meet the latter in Cooper Union tonight,
stated that (iompers was in error in his
letter of yesterday in saying: "The
Knights have been prepared for this
meeting for several weeks." He
(Powderly) had no intention until Mon
day evening of taking up the subject of
the charges against the knights, emanat
ing from the headquarters of the federa
tion. He said he would talk on other
matters, but in deference to Gompers's
wishes will first discuss the subject at
issue, allow Gompers the same time to
reply, and then take up other matters.
He denied emphatically that his invita
tion to Gompers was in the nature of a
challenge.
Gompers issued a written reply to the
effect that he believed Powderly never
expected his "challenge" to " be ac
cepted, or if accepted the idea was to
entrap him ((iompers) into a packed
meeting. He accuses Powderly of being
a pettifogger and double-dealer. Pie
added that he was ready at the meeting
or anywhere else to repeat and prove all
he said about the knights.
Gompers was not present at the meet
ing of Knights of Labor tonight. Cooper
Union was crowded, and many people
who were unable to gain admittance at
tended an overflow meeting outside the
hall. In the hall, after reading Gompers's
letter, Mr. Powderly invited Mr. War
ner to take the platform. Warner said
as this was a regular meeting of the ex
ecutive board for a specific purpose, it
would not be proper to adopt Gompers's
suggestion to give him half the time of
the meeting for a purpose not contem
plated in the call.
At this point about 200 men rose as if
by prearrangenient and left, the hall.
Powderly thereupon said: "All who de
sire to leave will please do so now, as
there are hundreds outside who cannot
get in." This was received with great
cheers.
Powderly then spoke on the insinua
tions made against the knights, and read
documents showing that they were the
first to suggest the eight-hour principle.
In the future they would continue the
eight-hour movement to help those
who are willing to help themselves.
He went into an anlysis of the state
ment of the membership of the federa
tion, and stated that its large apparent
membership was made up by claiming
the Knights of Labor as members of the
i ederation. The lirst trouble between
•the organizations occurred when the
knights succeeded in having the wages
of the cigar-makers increased. The man
who headed the shoe-makers'union was
little better than a lunatic and the
knights had to expel him. This man
was now ready to oppose the best inter
ests of labor. All workingmen should
stand together, and he (Powderly)
was ready to resign in live
or less minutes in favor of
■Gompers if the workingmen of
the country would unite under him. The
Knights of Labor had borne insult and
misrepresentation in silence long
enough. Hereafter they will strike back
when attacked.

LAKE FRONT PARK.
A TREMENDOUS SENSATION IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH.
Its Disputed Riparian Rights—An Im
mense Steal Said to Be Going on—The
World's Fair Finally Located There.
Chicago, June 20.—A sensational
charge is attributed to Warrant Leland,
proprietor of the Leland hotel, in an in
terview published in an evening paper.
The ownership of Lake Front park, one
thousand feet wide and nearly a mile
long, between Michigan avenue and the
lake shore, has long been in dispute.
The riparian right is the bone of conten
tion, and claim is laid to it by the state
of Illinois, the city of Chicago and tbe Illi
nois Central Railroad Company. Leland,
as owner of property abutting on this
park, has been fighting all encroach
ments thereon, and has declared his in
tention to fight the location of the
world's fair upon it, negotiations to which
end have been in progress between the
directors and the Illinois Central rail
way. In an interview today Leland is
quoted as saying that a year ago a bribe
of $1,01X1,000 was offered him to cease
his warfare in behalf of the preservation
of Lake Front park.
"And yet," headded, "thereare those
who believe I am fighting a phantom,
and who ridicule the idea of there being
a steal on foot. Why, there has been a
steal on foot besides which the opera
tions of the Tweed ring pale into insig
nificance. If the steal was of such a
gigantic proportion a year ago before the
proposition to extend the park 1,000
feet more into the lake was made, of
what size do you think it now? It is
over two hundred million dollars.
Who is back of the steal ? Is it
the Illinois Central railway or the city
council? I don't know. Perhaps it is
one; perhaps the other: perhaps both.
A stretch of the imagination may en
able one to believe it is neither, but as
such a steal could not be accomplished
without the consent of the city council,
and as the Illinois Central railroad is
commercially more greatly interested in
the disposition of the property than
anyone else, the belief that neither is
interested can be of but short life."
Leland is quoted in detail as to his
efforts to maintain the lake front free
from buildings, including the present
exposition building, and the opposition
he has met from the successive city gov
ernments for nine years past, intimating
that there were monetary influences
back of their opposition. Leland re
fused to give the name of the man who
came to him. He said it was a well-known
citizen, who came as the representative
of other parties and said: "Leland, if
you will simply bother yourself no more
about the Lake Front park, but remain
passive to what is done, 1 can let you in
on a deal so you will get a million dol
lars."
The matter bids fair to create a tre
mendous sensation.
WORLD'S FAIR SITE.
Lake Front Park Finally Decided Upon
as the Location.
Chicago, June 211.—The directors of
the world's fair formally declared their
preference for the hike front site this
afternoon, there being only one dissent
ing vote. A resolution was then adopted
instructing the committee on grounds to
enter into negotiations with the Chicago
and Illinois Central railroad and all
other interested parties, to secure an
area of the lake front of not less than
250 acres, to be bounded on the north by
Monroe street. The directors are to
hold another meeting June 23d, which

Russia Willing to Back Uncle Sam In His

Associated Press Dispatches 1
New Yokk, June 20.—The Herald
Washington correspondent asserts that
Secretary Blame, in an informal confer
ence with the senate appropriations
committee, sharply voiced the sentiment
of the administration in opposition to
the McKinley tariff bill. He said in
substance : "The bill is an outrage and
ought to be killed by the senate."
The correspondent further asserts that
Mr. Blame said the men who vote for
the bill vote to wreck the Republican
party.
A MAKE CLAUSUM.
Russia Prepared to Hack Its Representa
tions About the Bering Sea.
Chicago, June 20.—The Times'» Wash
ington correspondent says: Information
comes from a perfectly reliable source
that the president and secretary of state
have received positive assurances from
the government of Russia that the latter
stands prepared to make good the repre
sentations given at the time of the
Alaskan purchase, of the Bering sea be
ing a mare claustim, or closed sea, and
that if the United States desired the co
operation of Russia in enforcing this
doctrine she can have it. It has been
impossible to learn what views or pur
poses are held by Mr. Blame in the mat
ter.
ANOTHER VETO.
The President Sits Down on the Maricopa
County Railway Subsidy.
Washington, June 20.—President Har
rison today returned to the house, with
out approval, the bill to authorize the
board of supervisors of Maricopa county,
Arizona, to issue county bonds at the
rate of $4,000 per mile in aid-of the con
struction of a certain railroad. He says :
The bill seems to have passed the house
under a misapprehension of its true
scope and effect. In the report of the
committee on territories it is said that
by the terms of the bill the county re
ceives bonds in payment of the money
proposed to be advanced. In fact the
bill did not provide for a loan to be se
cured by bonds, but for a subscription
of stock. How far this mistake
may have effected the passage of the
bill, of course cannot be known. The
bill does not submit the question of
granting aid to a vote of the people of
the county or confer direct authority
upon the supervisors to issue bonds. It
is said, however, in April, 1881) an elec
tion was held to obtain the views of the
people upon this question. It does not
appear from any paper submitted to me
who were the managers of this so-called
election ; what notice, if any, was given ;
what qualifications on the part of the
voters were insisted upon, if any, or in
what form the question was presented.
There was no law providing for such
election. It being wholly voluntary, the
election was of course under the manage
ment of those who favored the subsidy and
was conducted without any legal re
straints as to voting or certification. I
have asked for a statement of the vote
by precincts, and been given what pur
ports to be a vote at twelve precincts.
The total affirmative vote given was
1,795 and negative, 134, but of the
affirmative vote, 1,543 were at Phoenix
and 188 at a town very near Phoenix. If
there were no other objections to the
bill I should deem this alone sufficient,
that no provision is made for submitting
to a vote of the people at an election
after due notice and under the sanction
of the law, the question whether this
subscription shall be made.
But again the bill proposes to suspend
for this case the provisions of the act of
July 30, 1880, forbidding municipal cor
porations to subscribe to stock or loan
credit to other corporations ; also forbid
ding a corporation to create a debt in ■
excess of four per cent, of the taxable
property at the last assessment. This
law was intended to give the people of
the teriitories that protection against
excessive municipal debts which was j
secured to the people of most of the
states by constitutional limitation. The
wisdom of this legislation is not con
tested by the friends of the bill, but
they claim that the circumstances are
so peculiar as to justify this exceptiuii.
Maricopa county is one of great ex
tent, and this great area is to be taxed
to construct a road which can in the
nature of things be of advantage to but
a fraction of it. There is no unity of
interest or equality of advantage. It
may very well be said that that section
of these lands along the line of the road,
especially town lots in Phoenix, would
have an added value, much greater than
the increased burden imposed upon
them, but it is equally clear that the
property in the county will receive no
appreciable benefits. The existing
bonded indebtedness of Maricopa county
is $272,000; the tax assessment about
$5,000,000, and the population is esti
mated at about 12,000. It will be seen
that a bonded debt, to say nothing of
the floating debt, which is said to be
small, is already largely in excess of the
legal limit, and it is proposed to in
•>se it by a subscription that will cer- j
involve $200,000, and probably

act of pongresb
Yavapa'- count} v...
scribe $7,000 per mile to this line of
road. The total length of the road in
the county was 147 miles, and seventy
lour to Prescott had been constructed.
The secretary of the territory states the
debt of Yavapai county at $763,000, and
the assessment, between $0,000,000 and
$7,000,000. There are seventy-five
miles of road yet to be built
from the present terminus, Pres
cott, to the south line of the county,
for which Yavapai county must make
a further issue of bonds of $292,000,
making a county debt of $855,000, or
about 13 per cent, upon the taxable as
sessment! taking that at $0,500,000, and
a per capita county debt of nearly $85,
taking the population at about 10,000, as
stated in the report of the senate com
mittee. Surely, no one will insist that
the true and permanent prosperity of
these communities will be promoted by
loading their energies and their indus
tries with this great debt.
I feel the force of the suggestion that
the freight charges now imposed upon
farm and orchard products of Maricopa
county by the railroad now in
operation are oppressive. But
this bill does not afford
much relief, even in that direction.
There would be but one competing point,
viz: Phoenix. At all other points on
the proposed road the people would be
subject to the exacting of just such rates
as are demanded by the other line. If
tins bill contained some effective pro
vision to secure reasonable freight rates
to those people who are to be taxed to
build the road, it would go far to secure
my favorable consideration. I have
carefully examined the reports of the
committees, and every argument that
has been submitted to me by the
friends of the bill, but I cannot bring
myself to believe that the peiinanent
welfare of the communities affected
by it, will be promoted by its passage.

Chicago, June 20. —It looks tonight as

heavily overcast. The prospects now
are that the best mud horse will win the
American derby. Uncle Bob seems to
have the call, and Protection is generally
ranked next. The Baldwin entries, Sin
aloa and Santiago, it is thought, will not
be favored by the muddy track. Good-

Reckless Blasting in a Railroad Yard Re
sults in the Death of an
Unknown Man.
Associated Press Dispatches. I
Tucson, Ariz., June 20.—The court
martial trial of Captain Miltimore was
resumed today. A number of witnesses
were examined by the defense, who tes
tified that it had been the custom of the
paymasters stationed in Tucson to have
the offices in their residences, and that
the present rentals were not exorbitant.
Major J. W. Wham testified that he
had never had any conversation with
Miltimore in relation to the location of
his office or the price to be paid for it;
that he wrote Miltimore a letter when
he desired a change and asked him to
remove his office to the pres
ent location without even knowing
what was the price which would
be paid. He also testified that he
considered the funds very secure in the
safe in tine office located in his own
house, and very insecure in the same
safe in an office located outside of his
own house;
Major A. S. Towar corroborated
Wham's testimony, and added that
Miltimore knew nothing of his drawing
commutation of quarters, as he drew
from the pay department. It is
an allowance of all officers who are not
furnished public quarters. He did not
know of the charges until he received
them. He asked for an investigation
before the trial, which was denied.
