DECISION AGAINST STRIKES.
Merchants Affected are Entitled to In¬

Judge lbl.iugs in the Uni.ed State*
court, at New Orleans, Saturday, ren¬
dered an opinion in the suit of the gov.
ernment ogainst'tbe Amslgan ated council
and the new officers of the various labor
organizations which ordered the general

against the organization# was asked foT
under the ae of congress prohibiting
combinations in restraint of trade.
In an elaborate opinion, defendants the court sets and
aside every claim of the

mated council and the officers of the
union were unlawful in ordering a gen¬
eral strike, and that the merchants are

The decision dtscussc* fully the right of

Mr. At Tuesday’s session of the sen rte
Vance, chairman of the committe
on privileges majority and elec ion*, in behalf o
the of the committee, su'rmit
ted a report ou thc case of thc lion. L'i
Mantle, finding that he is not entitled t<
his seat as senator from Montan i. Th-
report Gray, was signed by Me.-srs. Vane ,
Palmer and Mitchell. As In th
caseo f the majority report, presentee
Monday by Senator Hoar, the niinoritv thi
report deals directly only with
olaims of Mr. Mantle, but both are in¬
tended to cover as well the eases of a!
three of the appointed senators— M»d-
tie, Beckwith and Allen. Thc qu:s
tion presented, accorling to the in I
nority report, is, could the eovernor of
of astate appoint a senator at the beginning
a new term, the legislature being in
session and refusing or f illing to elec ?
The report quotes the coustit itional pro¬
vision and act of 186G, relative to the
election and appointment of senators,
and then contends that the origma
terms of senators must begin by berng
chosen by the legislature. Resolutions
to proceed to the election of secretary,
sergeant at-arms and chaplain of the sen¬
ate, who are not to take office until the
30th of June next, and nominations for
those offices respectfully William R
Coxe, of North Carolina; Rich
ard J. Bright, of Indiana, and
Rev. Dr. Widiam II. Milburn
were offered by Mr. Gorman and
laid over until Wednesday. Notice was
given by Mr. Hoar that he would rail up
Wednesday the report, of the committee
on privileges and elections as to the three
senators Mr. appointed by thc governors.
Hoar also offered resolutions, which
went over, instructing the committee on
privileges and elections to investigate the
allegations of criminal embezzlement
made against Senator Roach, of North
Dakota, and to report what is thc duty
of the senate in relation thereto. After
a short executive session the senate ad¬
journed.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS.
The president sent the following nom-
inations to thc senate Tuesday: George
D. Dillard, of Mississippi, to be consul
general of the United States at Guay¬
aquil ; Ezra W. Miller, of South Dakota,
to be attorney of the United States for
the district of South Dakota.
A letter from Secretary Morton ha 9
been addressed to every bureau in the
department of agriculture,asking whether
any reduction could be mide ic the num¬
ber of his employees without impairment
of the public service, it being desirable,
in the interest of economy, to lessen the
expenses cf the department.
The following fourth-class postmasters
were appointed for Georgia Tuesday:
Adairsville, Bartow county, George B.
Elrod; Buckhead, Morgan county, Dr.
Ellis II. Ad-ms; Fairmount, Gordon
couDty, William H. C. L’oyd; ITeard-
mont, Elbert county, Will'-am II. Mat¬
tox; Sharp Top, Cherokee county,
Charles C. Worley.
After numerous conferences among
themselves the republican members of
the senate have decided that they will
insist uoon an investigation of the
charges that have been made in the pub
lie prints relative to the character of Mr.
Roach, recently elected a senator by the
legislature of North Dakota ’
and now
occupying a seat in the senate as a dele¬
gate.
The senate was in executive session
Monday morniDg for upwardsof an hour,
and the greater part of that time wa;
consumed in a discussion relative to the
injunction of secrecy on the treaty with
Russia that was recently ratified by the
senate. The injunction was not, how-
ever, released a though the majority of
the 9CD8te is ia faTor of it, aud the pro-
p 08 iti 0 n also meets with the approval of
the $tatc department.
thc Secretary Herbert will soon take up
question of changing the color of
warships. The present shade of white fot
vessels of the American navy are found
to be doubly as expensive as the formei
black. It is diffiult to keep the hulls
clean in appearance, and the shade is not
considered sufficiently deceptive, day or
night, to elude an eye. It i9 understood
that the paint experts will reecommend
a return to black, and that after the re¬
view should any of the vessels be re¬
painted the hulls may come from the
dock bearing the old-time color.
Dr. F. O. St. Clair, for more than
twenty-seven years head of the consular
bureau in the state department, has been
removed. Late Saturday afternoon Sec¬
retary Gresham sc-nt a note to Dr, St.

barely wind escaped. A heavy rain fell and a
high blew at the time the cyclone
raged. At 2:3b o’clock Friday morning
he wire at Kelly, Miss., was tapped and

urday afternoon over an assau t that was
made on King Humbert. The king was

be had been spending a portion of the
day, when a person, having the general
appearance of an Itali»D workiDgmm,
threw a stone at the king, the missile
a'most striking. Several persons rushed
npon the assailant and seized him before
he had another chance to make an at¬
tempt at violence.
The assailant was promptly taken ia
hand by the police and conveyed to
prison. Otherwise in all probability he
would have been ki hd by the angry
multitude. An immense crowd assem¬
bled and cheered the king with frantio
enthusiasm and all ths way to the palace
the scene was like a triumphal progress.
King Humbert gracefully acknowledged
the ovation and was evidently deeply
moved by the evidence of loyalty on the

A PECULIAR TRIAL.
Charged With the Offense of Being a
Member of “Gideon’s Band.”
A Rdc.igh, N. C. ’ special says: The
trial of 8. O. Wilson, chairman of the
people’s party, and alleged member of
“Gideon’s bind,” came up in Wake su¬
perior court Tuesday. Wilson’s council
and the solicitor of this judicial district
had already ngreed upon a plan to dis¬
pose of the case, and the witnesses were
not to appear several days ago. The
trial has attracted attention not only in
Noith Carolina but all over the country.
The courtroom was crowded with spec¬
tators.
Solicitor Pou said that the state was
ready to allow a non-contendur entend
on the docket; that the prosecution was
intended rather to set an rxampleand
not for the purpose of punishing the de¬
fendant. Counsel for the defendant said
that the evidence of the existence of such
an organization was very weak and that
there was no direct proof that the de¬
fendant belonged thereto, that the de¬
fendant pleaded “not guilty,” but,rather
than be taxed with further costs, they
would agree to a nol pros. Judge Brown
directed the clerk to nol pros the case,
Wilson to pay the coats, which are small.
