Louisville, Nov. general assembly of the Knights of Labor, which has been in session in this city since the early part of last week, completed its work yesterday and adjourned until thesecond Tuesdayof next November, when it will convene again in Chicago. Yesterday's proceedings were the most interesting and spirited of any day since the session began. Many questions of national significance were discussed, and in each case resolutions were passed expressing the sentiment of the organization on the several matters.

The most important matter taken up at the morning session was the suggestion of the adoption of a constitution governing the degree of the Philosopher's Stone, which ia conferred upon every delegate to the general assembly. The suggestion met with the approval of the assembly and a constitution was submitted and accepted. Resolutions Eulogistic of Henry George. Under the conditions of this instrument chapters will be formed wherevei Knights of Labor organizations exist, and members will be allowed to take the degree who have been in the order a certain number of years and who have rendered efficient At the afternoon sessions resolutions were passed eulogizing the late Henry George. Briefly stated they set forth that one of the ablest advocates of labor's cause had passed away, one who had secured greater confidence from the wage-earners than any other man in this decade, and that in his death the workingmen had lost one their most sincere friends.

Resolutions were also passed commending the services of Past Master Workman Sovereign. of Cub Favored. Other resolutions then adopted as Declaring unequivocally in favor of the independence of Cuba; condemning the alleged hasty action of the deputy sheriffs in the llazelton affair, and calling upon the government to take such steps as will bring the offenders to justice: denouncing the Cleveland administration for "hatch- Ing" the sale ol the Union Pacific rail- raod. and the present administration for carrying out the plan; condemning the act of th? brewery w.prkers of the American Federation of Labor in seeking by alleged unfair means to force the Knights of Labor employes of the Rochester Brewing company to withdraw in favor of the federation. The executive board was authorized to take such steps as will bring the offenders to account for what is considered a most unfair action.

If it is found necessary the board is also authorized to retaliate by declaring war against the product? of all breweries where American Federation of Labor men are employed.

The figures are uniformly 4 cents under the scale demanded by the miners except as regards the Streator price, which is within cents of the scale asked by the miners.

Sweet refused to name any figure on a gross weight basis In that field. Sweet generally is regarded as the spokesman for the operators his figures are looked upon as semiofficial. Secretary Ryan said: "The operators won't arbitrate. Mr. Sveet we could' not find three men in the state to whom he would willingly sub- coit the case for settlement."

An effort was made in the resolution to show conclusively that American manufacturers of glass are well able to compete in all markets with the foreign manufacturers. Resolutions were also passed denouncing the check system of paying city employes.

This was directed at the claim shavers. The financial question occasioned no end of discussion, and finally resulted in the adoption of resolutions denouncing strongly the national banking system. A delegate to the general assembly from New York city, and one of the most prominent in the body, said that Sovereign beyond a doubt would be a candidate for the nomination for president in 1900. "If." he said. "Mr.

Bryan insists an making a fight for the nomination Mr. Sovereign will not oppose him, for the two are warm friends. In that evert Mr. Sovereign will become a candidate for the nomination of vice president. It was Jiatural for Mr.

CONFERENCE OX THE COAL STRIKE. Henry Sherry, of Wisconsin, Assigns All His Property to Fuy Oshkosh, Nov. Sherry, one of the greatest lumber operators and manufacturers Wisconsin ever knew, a man who had interests in nearly every northern county, yesterday gave up the fight against business misfortunes and the shrinkage of assets and credit due to hard times, and assigned all his vast properties for the benefit of his creditors. The assignee la James W. Cameron, of Milwaukee, formerly associated with Sherry at Vesper, Wis.

For three or four years Henry Sherry has been sailing close to the lee shore Of bankruptcy, and several times clawed off only by extraordinary efforts of himself and friends. What kept him above water and maintained his credit was his verified assertion that there was not a "scratch of pen" against hisproperty. A couple of days ago deeds that had been held back were filed against the postoffice block in Neenah owned by him and the storm descended. Some of the banks of this city demanded security, and to save his estate being wasted by attachments Sherry took the step indicated above. Sherry estimates his debts ar.d those of associate companies as less than $1,000.000.

He estimates that his assets and those of the associate companies are I'ufficient to pay all the liabilities if judiciously handled. He expects to pay 100 cents on the dollar. FINAL TRIAL TRIP OF THE IOWA. Operator Sweet Makes an Offer That It: "Informal." Speak. Chicago.

Captain Sampson "Tijere is very little to be said about the Iowa's final trial trip I believe that the board of inspectors: will report that the vessel is in every way satisfactory. They will report by telegraph to Washington. We sailed south for twenty-four hours, but at no time during the trip did we resort f. forced draught. "The vessel was under natural draught all the time.

After we had sailed south for twenty-four consecutive hours the ship was steered east for an hour, and then northwest for an hour at her maximum speed. She attained about 85 per cent, of her maximum speed under draught, which was about 13Vi knots. In her previous trial the engines registered 108 revolutions per minute, but this was with forced drauhgt. On this last trip the maximum attained wag ninety-four revolutions.

OBJECT THEEEOP WAS ATTAINED, And a Good Foundation Laid for Further Forcing Any Gifts on Uncle Sum; She "Wants Concession for and There Comes in the Matter Cnder of the Vexed Seal Question. Washington, Nov. officers of the state department were very much surprised at the reports of the total failure of the Canadian negotiations which appeared yesterday in several morning newspapers from their special correspondents here One of the officials said: "That view is not taken by the government at Washington. The representatives of the Canadian government who have just left this city did not come to Washington with any expectation of concluding any arrangement or treaty during their brief stay.

They entertained views upon the question of the sealing regulations, and hoped to acauire accurate information as to the views of our government upon the remaining question which their preceding government in Canada had failed to adjust. The only fact correctly stated in the publications referred to is that under the favorable Influences prevailing the seal experts upon a report. Making Us Any Presents. "This report will furnish a good basis for further action. It goes without saying that Canada is not disposed to make a concession upon the seals withoutsome consideration to Canada.

What such reciprocal concession or concessions should be is a question not yet disposed of, but continuing under consideration. There has not been the slightest check to the negotiations further than the inevitable delay in the settlement of the sealing question. The Canadian representatives were hospitably received, frankly talked with and participated in a free and frank discussion. If ever irritating questions can be removed between the two countries they can be disposed of under the administrations now charged with the conduct of affairs in the United States and In Canada." Governed by the Paris Award. Some interest naturally attaches to the conditions that will govern the seal hunters in the future, supposing that no arrangement is arrived at between, the United States and Great Britain for further measures of protection.

In the absence of an official statement on the subject an answer appears to be afforded by the language of the award made by the Paris arbitrators. That body having in terms decided that the United States had no right of protection or property In the fur seals in Behring sea beyond the three-mile limit from the shores of the seal islands laid down a set of regulations for the guidance of both parties to the agreement, prescribing the conditions under which seals might be taken in the waters of the north Pacific and Behring sea. These are the regulations that govern today, enlarged as they have been by mutual agreement. Regulations Stnml for Five Years. It Js provided in the award as follows: "The concurrent regulations hereby determined with a view to the protection and preservation of the fur seals shall remain in force until they have been in whole or in part abolished or modified by common agreement getween the governments of the United States and of Great Bri-tain.

The said concurrent regulations shall be submitted every five years to a new examination, so as to enable both interested governments to consider whether in the light of past experiences there is occasion for any modification thereof." This first term of five years expires about the time the sea! season closes next year, and it is a fair assumption from the language of the award that failing an agreement on further regulations those in force will continue to run. STATEMENT FROM THE COXFEBBEES. Unite in Denying the Kepolte of tlie of a Representative. In view of the "special" reports above mentioned Colonel Foster has madepub- lic the fallowing: "The representatives of both the United States and Canada who participated in the seal conference on yesterday at the residence of Mr. Foster deny that they have stated to any correspondent of the press or other person that the negotiations have been broken off, or that an ultimatum has been presented and rejected.

On the other hand they state that the negotiations are still in A difpatch from Minneapolis quotes Representative M. H. Johnson, of North Dakota, in an interview, declaring that the sealing agitation, is a mere ruse to permit a smail and select party to prey on the treasury; that sealing conferences are ridiculous and expensive farces; that the destruction of the seal herds is to be ardently desired on grounds of the highest public good; that i reciprocity with Canada is a policy non- sensical and worUry of defeat, I seal agitation, he believes, is being prolonged iy men who are its bene- nciaries in salaries and fees, and who are in a ring.
