The Bee this evening published in full the answer which Mon-signor Capel makes in reference to the charges preferred against him, and which he telegraphed to the editor of the New York Herald this morning for publication in its Sunday issue.

He says that following his nsual custom, he arrived quietly with his secretary, and was received by his old and lamented friend. Marquis Oliver of San Francisco, and enjoyed his hospitality four months preaching and lecturing to overflowing audiences in several churches, and receiving social honors from citizens and clubs. "Being much fatigued by two years' continuous public speaking I sought in the three following months rest at Monterey, there writing and publishing a popular dogmatic work on the Pope as the head of the church. A sharp attack of malaria prostrated me, and when convalescing I accepted an invitation to Arno. Some months previously I was introduced there by the parish priest.

While there the mistress of the farm and her father and mother gave me their hospitality. Before leaving the latter offered me a tract of land to establish an agricultural schooL Proposals were made to sell acres to form a colony. I entertained the scheme, and this induced me to accept a second invitation. The hostess, with the special approbation of her parents, asked me to become tutor to her son, 13 years old.

The General Master "Workman on the Duty of Temperance. Richmond, October 16. After the General Assembly had elected the remaining members of the Gcueral Co-operative Board, General Master Workman Powderly addressed the General Assembly, expressed confidence in the men elected, and pledged himself to the faithful performance of the duties intrusted to him.

lie urged upon the assembly the importance of temperance, and asked them to endeavor to impress the importance of this subject on the various local assemblies. He called attention to the fact, that not one of the general officers elected at the General Assembly used intoxicating liquors, and that each of the general officers had formally pledged himseif to total abstinence from intoxicating liquors during his term of two years of oflice. The General Master Workman installed all the officers elected. COLOR QUESTION. The following- resolution was presented by Delegate Burnett, of Pennsylvania: Wiiersas, Reports have been circulated and an impression has been created by the press of the country regarding the position of the Knights of Labor upon the question of social equality; and, whereas, we believe the welfare of the order iu the South requires that this General Assembly should take such action as will dispel these wrong impressions; therefore.

Resolved, Thatihe orgauization of the Knights of Labor recognizes the civil and political equality of all men, and in the broad held of labor it recognizes no distinction on account of color; bv.t it has no purpose to interfere with or disrupt the social relations which may exist between diflereut races in various portions of the Country. The resolution was adopted without debate. A LABOR JOCRXAL. When the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor resumed its session this morning the discussion on Dewey's p'au for the establishment of a la'wr journal as the organ of the order was resumed. The discussion on the newspaper project was brought to a close by the adoption of a motion to lay the matter on the table.

That part of the report on the revision of the constitution relating to the duties of general officers was adopted. Discussion of the clause relating to State Assemblies was in progress when the hour for non recess arrived. The debate was resumed at the afternuoon session. POiVDERLY NOT WEIX. General Master Workman Powderly did not feel well to-day, and was absent from the con vention.

In "his absence General Secretary Litchman presided. It VISING THE CONSTITUTION. At this afternoon's session the consideration of the report of the revision of the constitution as it came from the hands of the committee was continued. Section 1, relating to the name, jurisdiction and membership was passed without action, and the section trnaiiug of the meetings of the General Assembly and representation was ameuded so as to change the basis of representation from one delegate for each thousand members to one for every three thousand, and to make en allowance for milenfre payable, by the General Assembly. It was then adopted.

Section 3, treating of the General Assembly, was adopted after two clauses haa been amended so as to read: Any general nicer, whether a representative or not, is eligible to re-election, and representative to this general assembly or past general ofiiee is eligible to any office fn the General Assembly except that of General Master Workman. in the clause of Section 4, relating to the duties of officers, an amendment was made by which in the case of the death, resignation or removal of the Master Workman, the General Worthy foreman shall succeed to and perform all the duties and become General Master Workman until the next session of the general assembly, when they shall be an election to till the position. In the section relating to State Assemblies amendments were adopted by which the formation of State Assemblies is made optional instead of compulsory. Further amendments were adopted, by which the jurisdiction of existing District Assemblies remiiius unchanged, unices those bodies consent to the change. The General Assembly also resolved not to interfere with the National Trade districts, and an amendment relating to them was adopted, providing that no local assembly shall be compelled to join a district assembly, thus permitting trade local assemblies to retain their independence.

Another amendment which was adopted provides for an interchange of working cards with trade unioDs agreeing to reciprocate by receiving the Knights of Labor cards. 'lhe General Assembly adjourned until Monday, when such portions of the report on the revision of the Constitution as it is determined to act upon at the present session will be disposed of. Rusiness was transacted with such dispatch in the afternoon that some delegates expect an adjournment will be Lad Monday evening. A number of dele-pates left here for home yesterday liut a large majority will carry out their determination to remain until the work of the convention is concluded. NAVY YARD EMPLOYES.

Yours respectfully, li. WJ1ITXKV, Secretary of the Navy. The law provides that no new men shall be employed at the navy yards during the sixty nays preceeding an election, but this docs not apply to men alrendv employed and carried on the "suspended" roll he above order is understood to be intended to prevent an invasion of the law, which is now possible by hiring new men three or four months before an election and carrying them without pay until election time.

Forty their bodies have been recovered and consigned to graves In the shell reefs, while the decomposing corpses of the remaining forty-five lie festering in the marshes.

Krougti at first denied that his boy hod told him, and after reflecting a moment answered that the boy had tola mm later in the evening mat, ne nau seen snarks flvine all over the room. In leply to further questions Willie said ha never carried any matches about him nor that he ever played with matches, nor could he explain how any of the fires broke out. THE SCHOOL-TEACHER'S STORY.

Six miles southwest from Turlock and across the line in Merced county lies the Madison District schoolhouse. Accompanied by Princi pal Murtha, of the Turlock school, the iner reporter drove thither. He found M. Kuhlman, the teacher, to be a young man about iJ7 years of nee. He gave a very clear and circumstantial recital of the incidents connected with the mysterious outbursts of fire in his scnooinouse last week.

31 r. Kuniman is a Romewnat solemn young man, a member of the Methodist fold, and is inclined to attribute the incendiary visitations to his schoolhouse to supernatural agencies. His account, however, is not irreconcilable with a theory based on a propensity to malicious mischief on the part of nis pupil, Willie Broueh. The facts as related bv him are that about 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, just nauauuiu HI ulMUIhS BUUIXIl, ViarlOU Litter, aged 14, the oldest pupil attending his school, called his attention to smoke rising from the floor under a table in tbe northwest corner of the room. The teacher and his eight pupils, three boys and five girls, rushed outside.

The corner where the fire was burning was tightly boarded up, and the only way to get at it was by sending a boy under the floor uuvugu nu UCULilK B1AJUI LWO leeb 1H IllgiJl IU lrout 01 me scnooinouse. wane tsrongn was detailed to suppress the incipient blaze which was feeding upon a few dry chips. This ex- uuKuigned, readier ana scnciars returnea to the class-room. Young Brough rushed to the table in the corner, pulled out the drawer and called attention to the fact that a fire had broken out within. Only a few charred papers aud hali-burned matches were found.

There was no fire. It had gone out when Willie pulled at the drawer. The boy who was now leading in the pursuit, or fire hunt, rushed to the opposite end of the school-room leading into an ante-room, and pulling open the door of a closet in the library case shouted, There is a fire here." Bunches of matches were kent in the closet, and these were blazing away as well as ouier ruooisn. 'leacher Kuhlman, now thoroughly alarmed, dismissed the class, but requested Willie to remain and help him in iignung any iunucr outoreaKs 01 nre. THE SCHOOL SHED IN FLAMES.

The other pupils had hardly gone when Willie called the teacher's attention to smoke issuing from the roof of a shed about forty feet in the rear of the school-house. Hurrying thither, a sheet of flame was rising from the manger in one corner. This was the most serious of all the fires, but was exunguisnea with a lew pailfulls of water. Mr. Kuhlman next related how he was emerging from one Bide of the schoolhouse when he saw Willie running round the other side from the front.

Mr. Kuhlman entered the classroom, and just in time to find a pillar of flame issuing from a box filled with straw in the ante-room, and which had been nsed for packing lamps. After stamping this out he asked Willie why he was running toward the barn at the time he did. Willie replied, "To see if there were any more fires there." This circumstance and the reply did not arouse the teacher's suspicion that possibly Willie was playing some mischievous pranks upon him with the aid of a pocketfull of matches and was leading him a stern chase in pursuit of scattering fires. These fires, five in number, all in different quarters, were all that occurred on Monday.

Mr. Kuhlman admitted that he was very much excited at the time. He now sent Willie on horseback to the nearest house, a mile distant, to notify the neighbors. While he was gone a man named McGregor came along and fie asked the latter to come in and keep him company in the event of another outbreak of fire. G.

W. Abbott, one of the School Trustees, came next morning, also Henry Ritter, but neither could fathom the mystery. Willie did not return to school on Tuesday, and there were no fires on that day. a suspicious blaze. On Wednesday he came to school and during the recess at noon he aud the other youngsters were playing hide and seek in the barn.

Willie rolled himself about in some hay in the manger, remarking to one of his schoolmates that he could make fire by rubbing his hands together. Five minutes later a blaze issued from the pile, burning a hole in the manger. Then the teacher deemed it expedient to tell Willie he bad better stay away from school until he could interview the trustees. He said he did not suspect the boy of ueiiuuruicij seuiug me nres. ne una naa a talk witn a man named Henry Putter that morning and Ritter intimated that he believed the boy was under some mysterious influence, since everywhere he went fires were breaking out.

For this reason he desired that Willie should absent himself. He was still of the opinion that supernatural agencies were at work. Vil- lle, lie said, was a very prayerful boy, not over-bright but very nervous. THE FIRES AT BROUGH'S HOUSE. The mysterious fires at Brough's home on the previous Sunday were eleven in number.

The first broke out early in the morning. Mr. Bough was on the roof repairing the chimney, when a man named Brown called his attention to smoke issuing from one corner of the roof. The fire was traced to some clothes hanging np on the wall in a room below. Everybody became excited and the blazing garments were quickly pulled down aud cast out.

Two other fires broke out in the beddiug in the room about the same time. These extinguished, a lookout was kept for more. While all were watching a fire broke out under Mrs. Brough'3 bed iu the adjoining room. While the mother was assisung 10 remove tne Deadmg her hands were severely burned.

A straw tick thrown down in the middle of the room burst into flames. Willie then called attention to a straw stack outside which was burning from the top. In another moment the stack was envel oped in flames. Several sacks of grain in an adjacent shed were charred by the fire. The neighbors soon came flocking ia, and live more fires, it is asserted, broke out iu the walls and on the ceiling that evening before dark.

Our reporter found no burned places that might not have caught fire during the excitement of carrying out the burning debris. A MISCHIEVOUS BOY. To snm up the whole matter, it is evident that the people of Turlock aud the surroundings coun try nave anowea tneinseives to place too much reliance upon distorted versions of the Brough fires, and while there is no proof that Willie is an incendiarv. all the probabilities point to him as a mischievous little fellow who has been playing with fire and outwitting his own people. The country arouud Turlock is the home of a great many people who believe in spiritualism and who are too ready to believe in supernatural manifestations.

The report that the insurance kooks were destroyed was a mistake. All the savings banks, the Frontier Bank and l'ostollice books were found to be safe, or nearly so, as were the insurance papers.

They Condemn the Labor Party for Drasfringr the Order into Polities. At a regular meeting of Local Assembly No, 15S0, the following resolutions were passed and ordered to be given for publication: Resolved, That we do hereby repudiate the sentiments contained In an article published In tbe Weekly Star of October 9th headed Kniehtn of Labor in I'ontics," csiieciany urat pari or saia article hich speaks of the action of this assembly as sneaking." We therefore deliberately reiter ate all that we nave said heretolore about the stains of the alleged Labor Party, whose convention wan lield In B'hai B'rith Hall.

And we do further de clare that the publication of the ticket of this so- called Labor I'arty confirms all we nave said, nnmelv. that the builders of said ticket are trviue to deceive the public Into the belief that their ticket 1 indorsed bv the Kuiehts of Labor.

Dreadful Mystery Solved by an 44 Examiner Reporter. Is Willie Br one a a Human Reservoir of Elec- i trieity7 Lively Times in School A Terrified Pedagogue.

The Tnrlock boy with fire in his eye is a myth. but the boy Willie Brough remains somewhat of a mystery. An Examines reporter was detailed to visit the scenes of Willie's incredible exploits, and to investigate most thoroughly all the circumstances attending the startling revelation that a human being possessed the power of shooting flames from his optic nerve. The story, coining as it did with the stamp of authenticity, disclosing the fact that a whole community of intelligent people were wise, deeply moved and pro foundly perplexed by a mystery at once novel and awe-inspiring, could not be utterly ignored in this age of marvels. With its rich discoveries in the field of natural sciences and its wonderful developments in the realm of electrical investigation the public mind is prepared to believe in the marvelous, providing it can have practical demonstration, or in other words in material manifestations of what in the re moter ages would have been deemed simply miraculous exhibitions.

The Examiner, therefore, in justice to its readers has endeavored to verify the extraordi nary allegations regarding the achievements of Willie Brough, the boy with the burning eye, or, failing in so doing, to expose any attempt to perpetrate a fraud and thus Impose upon their credulity. The result of our reporter's investi gations, without either extenuation or bias or prejudice, is herewith given: an excited neighborhood. Turlock, which is in the neighborhood now rendered famous by young Brough's alleged exploits, is a village of some three hundred in habitants. It Is a grain depot a few miles south of Modesto, on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. It is in the center of a wide sweep of yellow stubble, all that remains of a mighty wheat harvest.

The south-bound passenger who lights a cigar after his railroad dinner at Lathrop, has a burned stump to throw away by the time he alights at Turlock. A few trees here relieve the monotonous landscape. Warehouses extending nearly a quarter of a mile in length flank the track. A cluster of white houses comprise the outskirts of the little burgh. Two short blocks are occupied with saloons, hotel and stores.

Under foot the visitor finds himself wading ankle-deep through fields of sand and dust pulverized to the fineness of flour by the heavy teams. Where is that wonderful boy of yours, with eyes of fire?" This way, sir, and I'll teil you all about him. You want to go to a good hotel, sir. Come with me." The second person was Landlord Fuller of the Fountain Hotel, a sleek-looking individual with a velvety voice. He led the reporter to his office, where he proceeded to tell all he knew about the phenomenal child, how the whole surrounding country was aflame with excitement over his incendiary doings, how nobody could account for the mysterious fire at Brough's house on Sunday last and at the Madison district schoolhouse on the following day, and winding np by leaving the subject as deeply involved in mystery as when he began.

The reporter's mission was obvious. LOOKING FOR WILLIE. The work in hand was to eschew all hearsay testimony, to discover eye-witnesses of the boy's acts, to find the boy himself aud to visit the scenes of his alleged unconscious incendiarism. But the boy had gone. In despair his father had that very day moved his family, his household effects and his live-stock from Turlock to the cottonwoods west of the San Joaquin river, some thirty miles from the Madison district.

Nothing remained but to Snd the exiled family, and in the mean while to obtain from the mountain of fiction, which the townspeople had reared, a few grains of truth tending to explain the mysterv. The only man in Turlock who admitted that he had had a conversation with Willie Brough was R. T. Whilite, the Deputy Postmaster. On Wednesday last he said Willie came for his mail, when he volunteered the remark that he was unjustly accused of setting fire to the 6Choolhouse.

Said he to Whilite: "They say I did it, but it isn't so. I only saw tbe tire breaking out and told the teacher." In reply to further questions he said that at night he saw sparks in the air above him; that he felt a strange tingling sensation in the tips of his fingers; that sometimes sparks escaped from his fingers when he rubbed them together, and that on one occasion, on Sunday last, in his father's house, a spark from one of his fingers ilew toward the wall and burned a hole in the paper. The child chuckled and smiled as he related this incident to the Deputy Postmaster. is it electricity? E. Vf.

Pierce, the agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad, who is also the agent for Wells, Fargo and who has charge of the Western Union Telegraph OSice at Turlock, was out as the insurance agent who had reused to issue a policy on the Madison District schoolhouse so long as Willie was allowed to attend school there. Mr. Pierce said that he had never been asked to insure the schoolhouse. But he took a great Interest in the scientific aspect of the question connected with the performances of the boy. From what he had heard he believed the boy was highly charged with electricity, and assuming this to be the case, his presence near combustibles would be in the nature of an extra hazardous risk, which insurance men were bound to take notice of.

Mr. Pierce had read much on the subject of electricity. Our knowledge of that element, even to-day, he said, was very crude, and the ablest minds were wrestling with its problems. Every day new discoveries were being made, and probably little Willie Brough might afford the means or become an instrument through which further discoveries might be made. Iu his opinion the boy was simply a human reservoir of the electrical fluid.

A CONVINCING TEST. During the evening two fanners discussing the matter became very excited. One of them declared the whole business a humbug, and as an evidence of the sincerity of his belief offered to sit on a keg of gunpowder and allow the juvenile fire-fiend to concentrate his inflammatory glare upon the explosive, providing his credulous companion paid for the powder. The challenge was not accepted. The oilice and drug store of Dr.

J. P. Young, a very intelligent and well-read gentleman, was filled during the evening with Turlookers who made Wiilie's fire freaks the star pie of conversation. All kin.l-j of theories were advanced, bnt nothing satisfactory could be evolved from the controversy, which had a decided spiritual bent. Dr.

Young confessed himself perplexed, more especially after a conversation lie had had that afternoon with the boy's father. He, himself, did not believe in supernatural proceedings, but Mr. Brough seemed so deeply agitated over the fiery manifestations in his house, which could not be accounted for on any rational hypothesis, that he did not feel like expressing any opinion until he had more light. While the doctor was talking, a small demijohn of tpirits frumenti, lying on a shelf in the rear of the store, sent forth a cracking sound. The glass had broken and the liquor was running out.

The doctor said that this was the third Dottle that had burst that day. It was as unaccountable a mystery as that of the boy with the fiery eye. Some of his customers suggested that the'plaee have been "hoodooed" by the father's visit. Thereupon the doctor shook his head, remarking: I'm beginning to think there is something in this after all." brough's train overhauled. Yesterday the Examiner reporter overtook Brough's train crossing the plains toward the river.

The latter had camped out the evening before. He went into details very frankly notwithstanding the fact that he felt very much irritated and annoyed over the notoriety given to his boy. Mr. Bronsrh has lived in California over twenty years. He came to this State from Indiana, lie has a wife aud five children four girls, aged 17, 15 and 7 years, and a baby of 6 mouths.

Willie was 11 years old last month and is his only son. "I have been," he said, very much persecuted in this business. They say I abandoned my son. That was a very cruel lie. I cannot account for the fires and I do not believe my son is responsible for them.

Still, we are all very much puzzled and do not know what to do or sav. We ere now on our way to our old home on the west side of the river where I have about 40 acres under cultivation. It is not true that the school trustees expelled my boy. We left the Arnold ranch because my fofks objected to remaining there any longer. My wife is so worked up over these fires and she is in such a nervous condition that I am afraid the strain will seriously impair her health.

We have never had any trouble in our family before. lam a Christian man myself. I belong to the Methodist Church. This talk about my boy having fire in his eye is all nonsense. He has always been a delicate boy, is truthful and well behaved, and we don't like to talk with him about this matter.

I believe he is perfectly innocent of any wrong. All that I know peculiar about him is his extreme nervousness. Since these fires he told me that he felt his hands tingle at times. Here he comes now. You may talk to him." A roadway SKETCH OF WILLIE.

The figure was extremely childish for his age. His size idicated a boy nearer 8 than 11 years. His features were thin and somewhat pinched. A pair of little gray eyes quizzically, yet squarely, met the reporter's gaze. There was an abnormal development of ear for so small a lad.

The face betokened intelligence, and, taken altogether, was not unprepossessing. The complexion was fair; and to get a good look at Willie the reporter lifted his slouch hat Then the head was seen to be large for the body and the forehead to be rather flat and square and much higher than the average boy's. To complete the picture, his light-brown hair was close cropped, as though it had not long ago been shingled hy a horse-clipper. Our reporter took him by tbe band. Willie, they say von can make fire come from you.

Is that so?" No, sir." Now I want you to tell me the truth. Don't yon know how those fires occurred at your father's boUBe and at the schoolT" "No, sir; I didn't have anything to do with AUCTIOET SAL5)! Terrible Scenes of Suffering Affecting Words of a Hapless Innocent. Galveston, October 16. Further particulars of the great disaster at Sabine Pass and Johnson's Bayou are constantly being received. The The situation has not been exaggerated in the least.

A correspondent who has just returned from Sabine Pass telegraphs from Orange that turkey buzzards are soaring over Sabine Pass for miles around seeking the bodies of persons and animals. The town is fairly swept out of existence. What was a prosperous village when last Tuesday dawned is now a scene of devestution. There are 127 persons missing and supposed to be dead. Only about 25 bodies have thus far been recovered.

AFFECTING SCENES. Innumerable touching and heartrending incidents of the storm are related by the survivors. One house, containing fourteen colored people, was seen to go down with a crash and every one of them was lost. Incidents are related of husbands lashing their wives and children to some floating wreckage and then seeing them killed by heavy logs being driven against them. The damage to property can only be estimated by the value of the town, for all is lost.

The Sabine and Texas Railroad is washed out for a distance of ten miles. The ties have floated off and the rails are twisted like wires by the great hurricane. Millions of dead fish were cast up by the waves and thousands of birds also Btrew the ground. A young woman in a perfectly nude condition was found roaming in the prairie five miles from Sabine. She was demented and could not tell her name.

A BEREAVED HUSBAND AND FATHER. W7hen the Government tug Penrose reached Sabine yesterday Columbus Martee was found rowing around the delta, looking for the bodies of his family. He said, "My wife, three children and myself were clinging to a floating roof, which was gradually breaking to pieces. First one went and then auother. I was holding the youngest child when soon my wife said 'Good-by, husband, I am going.

"I could not reach he, and the piece of roof supporting her broke, aud she sank before my eyes. I held on to the youngest child, named Pearl some time longer. The child addressing me said A BABY'S LAST CARESS. 'Papa, I am tired; won't you walk with "The piece of roof I was on was now crumbling to pieces. I told the little one to kiss me.

She put both her little arms around my neck and gave me a big squeeze, and just then wave dashed us off, and I saw her no more. Great God, why didn't I go down, too." The poor man was pressed to go on board the Penrose, but refused, saying Here among these lagoons are the bodies of my wife and children, and here will I stop until I can find them." INDESCRIBABLE MISERY. No tongue can tell how the people have suffered during the past few days. EASTPORT, BURNED. The Custom -Ho use, Banks and Hotels Destroyed.

Eastport October 16. The fire which proved so destructive here Thursday burned ten hours. All the insurance agents records were burned. Nearly all the safes were also destroyed with their contents and many insurance policies. Probably not three safes protected their contents from the fire.

The aggregate loss is estimated by the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department aud insurance agents at $500,000. The Passama-quoddy Hotel, the Island House, the Frontier House and the American House were burned. The Savings Bank, the Frontier National Bank and the Custom-house, all brick buildings, were destroyed. The Frontier Bank bnildiug was supposed to be fireproof. The Custom-house, Postoffice and United States Signal Service records aud books were all burned.

LABOR TROUBLES. Situation in Chicago Among: the Striking- sreat meters. Chicago, October 16. The usual crowds of idle men remained in the vicinity of the packi tig-houses to-day and besought all men who could be reached not to go to work. Many applicants for work, however, went out on the regular and passenger trains and were landed at the doors of the packing-houses, which were guarded by armed patrols.

The strikers stopped a wagon containing clothing and bedding for the Pink-erton men just outside the city limits to-day and haudlcd the driver roughly, throwing the clothing in the btreet. A wagon loaded with bread for Pinkcrton's guards was stopped outside the city limits, and when the poCce ariived the wagon had disappeared. THE MISSING STEAMER.
