the state of facts on which the coal and

Mr. Cullom made an effort to have the

land for government purposes on Lake
Michigan postponed until Wednesday
next, out Mr. Platt contended that the
special order for open executive sessions
took precedence of it.
The senate, at 12:50, resumed considera
tion of Mr. Morrill’s resolution declaring
the prompt necessity of making a proper
revision of the tayiifat the present session
obviously hopeloss and impracticable; and

tention of the duties on sugar, but favored
their removal on salt, iron ore, coal and
coarser qualities of wool.

Chicago, December 13.—Edward Mulra-
ney, a delegate from the Chicago trade and
labor assembly to tho recent congress of
federated trades at, Columbus, Ohio, ar
rived hero yesterday. In conversation
with a reporter Mulraney said the action
ofthe congress in relation to trades unions
and tho knights of labor was especially
important. “ One result of our action, ’
lie said, “ is that no knight’s of labor
card will bo recognized by
any trades union represented
at Columbus. This, you say, means war.
I don’t care if it does result in war. If a
man wants to work at. a union trade, lie
must belong to the union first, and then he
can go in everything else he sees fit. When
I have troublo as a bricklayer, I don’t
want butchers, shoemakers and black
smiths, who do not know anything
more about bricklaying than a dog
does about side pockets for bones, to net
ui>on any trouble that my union becomes
involved in.”
Being asked about the political move
ment, Mulraney expressed himself as deci
dedly opposed to any third party move
ment, ana said that many of the delegates
agreed with him. “Tho labor people,”
said ho, “with their widely divergent views
on the tariff, on money, nnd every other
question, cannot be united in an economic
political party.”
Was there any attempt made to pass a
resolution in favor of the anarchists?
I was just going to speak of that. When
the congress reached the head of resolu
tions, a communication was read from the
central labor union of Chicago, which
wound up with resolutions like those
adopted by tho district-assembly condemn
ing the verdict as an assault on free speoch
and all that stuff, i was rather expecting
tlie resolution, and ns soon as it
was received I moved its reference
to tlie committee on resolutions. The
committee instead of reporting the an
archist resolutions back, reported this,”
nnd here Mulraney produced tlie follow-
company.
Toamend the charter ofthe Atlanta Loan
and Banking company.
To regulate appointment of school trus
tees and prescribe their duties and powers.
Passed by substitute.
To incorporate the Savannah and Jack
sonville Air Line Railroad company.
To incorporate the Oglethorpe Savings
and Trust company.
A message from tho house brought in at
1:10 p. in. was refused, on motion of Mr.
Butt, the house having already adjourned.
Under a suspension of the rules the gen
eral tax bill was read the first time and re-
ierred to the finance committee.

Atlanta, December 13.—The Atlanta
drummers are making extensive prepara-
the tax oil tobacco or sugar would not
open a single manufacturing establish
ment in the United States. Such
things were only suggested lor the purpose
of preventing anything being done to en
large manufacturing powers and to send
manufactured products abroad. The moil
who owned manufactories were content
with the American market. With all their
pretences of aiding American labor, they
intended tp keep this market to them
selves, charging what they liked, and to
let their laborers starve rather than give
| them a chance of an extended market by
which they could have employment twelve
! months in the year instead of as now four
or five months. He wanted a chance to
argue, the question, and to show that the
protectionists were merely robbing the
laborers whom they were pretending to be
friend. He would go as lar as any man to

Senate Proceedings.
Atlanta, December 13.—The senate was
called to order at 10 o'clock, President pro
tern. Pringle in tlie chair. Prayer was
offered by the chaplain.
After roll call and the reading of the
journal Mr. James moved to reconsider
the action of tlie senate in ordering 300
copies of the penitentiary report printed.
He said the house had made a similar reso
lution, and he therefore moved that, the
senate resolution be amended to 100 copies.
Adopted.
Mr. Simmons was granted leave of ab-
sence. ., ,
President Davidson was granted leave or
absence for the day from providential
cause.
Mr. Dean moved to reconsider the reso
lution embodied in the report of the peni
tentiary visiting committee, which Pro
vides that all the camps shall be visited by
sub-committees during the recess. Mr.
Dean said his object in reconsidering was
to introduce a motion to strike out the
proviso, which cut off tlie per diem of the
committee. He said if the legislature de
cided the inspection was necessary, then
the members were entitled to their pay.
Mr. Butt moved that the matter be taken
op at once and acted upon. He had intro
duced the amendment cutting off the per
diem of the committee, but as committees
to visit other state institutions would be
allowed per diem he thought this commit
tee should also have it.
Mr. Pnropil Qniii hn favored paving the

the other men who thought with him
should have a chance to say what they
thought about it.

A Built of Building.
Detroit, December 13.—A new phase ot
trouble among the building trades has de
veloped in this city. Some time ago tha
brickmakers’ exehango was organized, all
but three or four manufacturers in this lo
cality being interested. It was decided by
tlie exchange to boycott all contractors
dealing with outside manufacturers, and a
stop to building will result. Alexander
Chapaton, jr., one of the largest coutrao-
ors in this city, was the first to suffer from
tlie boycott, and as a result work on the
new mammoth seed warehouse being built
by him for D. M. Ferry & Co. will cease,
and several other large buildings will in a
like manner be delayed.
A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Tho .lljdtirtuus BUI Muu in the Cluvoriud Cade.
Richmond, Va., December 13.—Pending
the trial of CluveriuB, a colored waiter at
the hotel testified that ho saw an old man
with Lilian Madison nnd Cluveritis in the
hotel parlor on tho afternoon of the night
she was murdered. The old inau could not
be found,although the detectives vigorous
ly searched for him. Since Claverlus was
respited by the governor to tho 14th of
January next, an old man lias been arrest
ed by Captain Charles Epps, of the Rich
mond police. Captain Epps refuses to give
ttic name of the party arrested, but stntes
that the old ninn is a Richmond mechanic
who admits that lie met Miss Madison on
the struct near the American hotel on the
day in question; that she asked him to
show her to the ladies’ parlor of the hotel ;
that he did so, and left lier with Cluverius,
and knew nothing more about the case.
This is all that has ns yet been given out.
Despite the relioenoo of Captain Epps, it
has been ascertained from other sources
that the man’s name is William Childs,
and that l-.e is a carpenter employed at the
Chesapeake nnd Ohio railway shops. Ho
is not under arrest. He only knew Miss
Madison from the description lie had read
in the newspapers, which fully agreed
with that of the lady lie had escorted to
the American hotel on the evening of
March 13. Ho did not see the dead
girl. Ito did not apjiear as a witness

New York, December 13.—In the stock
market to-day the renewed decline of the
lust two days ofthe previous week and the
losses during tho duy were much more gen
eral than on any day of lust week. The
leading stocks of the market felt the de
pression throughout, and though the spe
cialties were weak, they failed to absorb
much of the interest in speculation. Lon
don prices came higher this morning, and
the effect wus seen in but few stocks, the
remainder being decidedly weak. To this
inliuenee also may be ascribed the slight
rally which occurred early in the iore-

decrease in the business done for tlie day.
Western Union, Lackawanna, Louisville
and Nashville and New York Central were
all conspicuous, their losses at one time
ranging between Ij nnd 21 per cent.

drop of 18 per cent, in Tennessee coal e. id
iron without any assignable cause. Nine
per cent, of this wa3 afterwards recovered.
The opening was extremely active, and
nearly one-third of the business of the en
tire day was transacted in the first hour.
First prices generally showed declines
from Saturday’s final figures of from ( to J
per cent. In the first twenty minutes de
clines ranging up to 21 per cent, were
recorded, Canada Southern and Reading
being tlie principal features. A fractional
rally followed, but before the er.d of the
hour the tone oi the market was again
heavy and so remained until 2 o’clock, the
