THE K. OP L. CONVENTION.
The Committee on Credentials Fail to
Agree on a Report.
lUciiMOXT), Va., Oct. G. Powderly and
the members of the executive board of
Knights of Labor were all up this morn
ing, and the majority of them on the way
to" Armory Hall before 9 o'clock. Al
though it was the third day of the conven
tion, the members were not ready to begin
the actual work they had come to do.
There still remained to be settled the'qucs
tion of seating eight of ten delegates whose
cases the committee on credentials have re
ferred to the convention. Throughout the
city today the principal Topic of
discussion was the admission last night
of the colored delegate, Farrell, to a
seat iu the orchestra circle in the
Academy of Music, a section of the audi
torium in Richmond hitherto sacredly
guarded from the intrusion of all persons
of his race. The general feeling among
the Virginians is one of bitter resentment.
They regard the delegates from District
Number 44 with anything but a friendly
feeling. It is said that a majority of the
lacal knights arc much provoked at the ac
tion of their visiting brothers, and it is re
ported that knights living here declared
their intention of joining the Law and Or
der league, organized in sworn opposition
to the knights.
At noon recess was taken until 2 o'clock.'
Mr. Powderly announced to the represen
tatives of the press that he had nothing to
communicate to them. Some secret busi
ness had been trausactcd, but of course he
could not say as to its nature. The morn
ing session was mainly devoted, he said, to
consideration of the reports of the com
mittee on credentials, which has not been
finally acted upon. It seems safe to say
that whatever action has been taken by the
credential committee in the case of District
No. 49 and the Brooklyn delegates, it is
unfavorable to the latter. The feeling of a
majority of the delegates outside of New
York is in favor of Brooklyn.
It now seems possible that the third
day's session may end with the convention
still unorganized.
The afternoon session, beginning at 2
o'clock, lasted nearly an hour beyond the
regular time for adjournment Matters
then stood about where they were this
morning. Mr. Powderly thought if all
oilicial news of the proceedings were given
to the press, to the reporters he had noth
ing in the wav of news to give. The com
mittee, he said, was still considering the
report of the committee on credentials and
had not yet acted on it. This means that
the fight over the admission of eight or ten
delegates whom the committee referred to
theconvention is still in progress.
Who these delegates are Mr. Powdeily
and other leading knights refuse to say.
The burden of the rumor, however, seems
to favor the statements that they are three
Bioolkyn delegates, Brown, Dobb and Jlil
ler, of the Brooklyn Montauk association;
Morrison, of District Assembly No. 120, of
New York, aud C. S. Lewis, delegates
claiming to be elected instead of the six
said to be Turner men. The delegates
from District No. 49, according to the
same unofficial report, are lighting Morri
son and Brooklyn men tooth and nail, but
the long continuance of the battle shows
that the opposition is as fully determined
as they There am be no doubt of the fact
that the battle is a bitter one.
This afternoon the voices of opposing
delegates could be heard in the street with
out Armory hall as they argued the ques
tions at issue. Until this discussion is
ended the convention is at .a stand still, and
no work can be done. Meanwhile many
dclegr.tcs here are growing impatient at
the "prolongancc of "the contest and are
anxious to get to the work they came here
to accomplish. The contest will be re
sumed tomorrow morning, and no one
seems to be able to guess how long it will
ha .before the convention will organize and
begin busmen.
A Plain Case of Swindle.
Chicago, Oct. G. The fact was made
public that James W. Sykcs, a seed mer
chant, who made an assignment last Satur
day was arrested by a deputy sheriff on
two capiases issued from the supreme
court, but which were suppressed. Sykcs
succeeded in securing sureties and was re
leased on bail amounting to 4?,o00.
The
arrest was made on complaint of the Mer
chants Bond aud Trut company and the
Hide and Leather bank. Jno. "W. Dean,
president of the Merchants Loan and Trust
company, who is a creditor of the firm,
said: 'It was, we think, a plain case of

THE LA MASCOTTE HORROR.
Additional Details of the Burning of
the Mississippi River Steamer.
St. Louis, Oct. 0. No. cause can be as
signed as yet for the explosion last evening
of the boiler of the river steamer La Mas
cotte, which caused such great loss of life.
The boat is said to have been steaming
alonn under a hundred and fifty pounds of
steam, the usual amount, when the explo
sion suddenly occurred, blowing the fire in
every direction. The utmost confusion
prevailed. The pilot, taking advantage of
her heading, turned her towards the shore,
bnt the ilames caused him to llee before the
stage plank could be lowered. The cur
icnt then turned the boat's bow cut into
the river, and her stern hung close to the
bank, which afforded a means of escape
for those who were at the end of the boat.
The stage plank was lowered. Many were
placed upon it. Mostly women and chil
dren, who would have been saved had not
the binokc-stack fallen squarely across it,
and all who were not killed" by if were
drowned. The boat drifted" two hundred
yards out into the river, across to the
Illinois sho-e and sank. The only thing
now vissible is her wheel.
J, J. Ilanlan, pilot of La Mascotte,
says: The steamer Eagle was near us
when the disaster occurred, and could ea
sily have pushed us ashore without much
trouble or danger, but I understand the
captain did not wish , to render any .assist
ance whatever. The pilot of the Eagle
told me that the captain ordered him not
to go near La Mascotte, as he did not wish
to endanger his boat. If he had pushed
us ashore not a single person would have
been injured except from scalds and burn3.
All who witnessed the disaster severely
condemn the captain of the Eagle for his
hearliess desertion of the burning boat.
A special from Cape Girardeau to the
Post-Dispatch rtates that the wreck of La
Mascotte result e f-om the collapse of one
of the boiler ilu. . The explosion spent
its force directly backwards into the engine
room and only the crew and roustabouts
suffered from being scalded by the escap
ing steam. Eleven of the latter were so
horribly burned that huge scales of flesh
peeled from their bodies. Six of them have
died. Their names are:
"William Shartzel, Evansvillc. Ind.
Dallas "Webster, Evansvillc, Ind.
The others known to be drowned arc the
following:
Mrs. Wm. "Wheeling and two young
daughters, of Gape Girardeau.

D. S. Davidson was so badly burned
around the face and throat that he will
probably die. After the bodies of the
killed and injured had been brought ashore
they were placed on the steamer Eagle,
which brought them to the city where the
visiting and local physicians are now car
ing for them. The register of the passen
gers was lost with the" La Mascotte and it
is thought that some were drowned or
killed, whose, bodies have not been re
covered. South Carolina Tragedies.
Coi.umiiia, S. C, Oct. 0. A terrible ac
cident occurred at Chester Sunday night by
which two children and an old woman
were roasted alive. Dave Henry went
with his wife to a Gimp meeting, leaving
the house and two children in charge of
Caroline Berry. Upon the return of the
parents they found the house in flames
and heard the screaming of their children
on the inside. An ineffectual attempt was
made to save them. Their charred remains
were recovered from the ruin'. It is sup
posed that Caroline Berry went to sleep
while smoking and that the bed clothes
caught fire from her pipe.
In Chester county Monday evening
Charles White, colored, shot his wife ami
then hung himself. White shot hU wife

CAPITAL BUDGET.
MKS. C. AND JIKS. F.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 6. Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom icturned to
Washington this morning. They arrived
at the railroad station at 5:20 and were met
by the president.
THU PRESIDENT'S roucY.
Among the ollicials directly affected by
the president's conclusion that a candidate
for an electoral otlice should relinquish his
federal office, are A. K. DcLaney, United
States attomev for the eastern district of
Wisconsin, and P. II. Kumbler, United
States attorney for the southern district of
Ohio.
3Ir. DcLaney was appointed to his present
office by President Cleveland mainly
through the efforts of Gen. Bragg and has
now been nominated to succeed that gentle
man in congress. Mr. Kumbler is a Re
publican aud was appointed under a pre
vious administration. He has been nomi
nated for iudgc of the court of common
pleas of Hamilton count. After he ac
cepted the nomination he wrote to the at
torney general informing him of his action
and said that if his retention of the dis
trict attorneyship pending the result
of the state election conflicted in
any way with the president's policy of civil
service reform, he would resign his present
office. As already stated, the cabinet con
sidered the question at yesterday's meeting
and decided as a general principle that an
official desiring to enter a political cam
paign had better give up his federal office.
It"is therefore likely that changes will
shortly be made in behalf of the officers
mentioned. -- -. .r3
REPORT ON rOLYOAMY.
The Utah commission by its chairman,
A. B. Carleton, has filed with the secretary
of the interior its annual report, of which
the following is a synopsis:
During the year the law regarding the
disfranchisement of polygamists aud those
living in unlawful cohabitation has been
fully and successfully enforced. All such
persons, with very few if any exceptions,
have been excluded from voting and hold
ing office; a large number have leen fined
and imprisoned in the penitentiary for
polygamy or unlawful cohabitation, chiclly
for the latter offense.
It is reported and believed by many resi
dent non-Mormons, that during- the year a
large number of polygamous marriages
have taken place in the temples of Logan
City and St. George. We have not the
means of verifying such reports; yet wc
have no doubt that a considerable number
of saHi marriages have been celebrated
with the knowledge, approbation and ac
tive co-operation" of leading men of
the Mormon church. Whether upon
the whole polygamous marriages
are on the decrease in Utah is a matter on
which different opinions arc expressed; but
undoubtedly many have been restrained by
the fear of disfranchisement and the peni
tentiary, and W( tJ.ink that it is safe to say
that in" the more enlightened portions of
the territory, as for example Salt Lake City
and its vicinity, very few polygamic mar
riages have occurred within the last year.
Referring to the joint resolution now
pending in both houses of congress, prows
inir an amendment to the constitution of the
United States prohibiting and punishing
nolriramv in all the states and territories
extending the judicial power of the federal 1
government to me prosecution 01 such 01
