The condition of the remaining eleven is as follows: The naval, District of Columbia, and pension appropriation bilia have passed both houses. and are now in conference. The legislative executive and judicial, and fortifications bill have passed conference, both although hoirses and arc ready for conference commit¬ tees have not been appointed.

THEY ARE MAD BECAUSE HONEST WORK¬ MEN DISAGREE WITH THEM. A New York dispatch says: A split oc- curred in the Central Labor union Sun- day. formed The socialist delegates withdrew, and a new central body, which will be known as the Central Labor fed¬ eration. Anticipating this action on the part of the socialist delegates, the conser¬ vatives at the instance of the building trades section, passed a resolution deny¬ ing them the right of representation in the original organization. The war ol words thus aroused was loud and vigorous, and for a time it looked as though the opposing factions would come to "blows. The progressives were called ignorant foreigners, usurpers and nation-wreckers, while they in turn characterized the con- servatives as boodlers, scabs and profes- sional politicians, and dubbed the hall as “boodlers’ hall.” THE CANNON EXPLODED.
