FRIENDLY ACTION OF FRANCE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Information has
Just been received that the French Govern
ment has lowered the duties on raw whale
bone, the product of the American fisheries,
the tariff on the article now being the same as
on that imported into France from European
countries. This has been done without anv
application on our part. 1t is a spontaneous
act by that Government. This voluntary con-
cession to the United States, though of COM
paratively small importance, is coupled with
other propitious circumstances which en-
courage the hope that our commercial rela-
tions generally with France will soon be placed
on more favorable footing.
THE REORGANIZATION OF FLORIDA.
The following has been addressed to His
Excellency William Marvin, Provisional Gov
ernor of Florida, at Tallahassee:
"Your letter of October 7th was received
and submitted to the President He is graft
he'd with the favorable progress towards reor-
ganization in Florida and directs me to say
that he regards the ratification by the Legisla-
ture of the Congressional Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States as indis-
pensable to a successful restoration of the
loyal relations between Florida and the other
States, and equally indispensable to the return
of peace and harmony throughout the Re
public.

PROCESSION OF wORKMEN
The procession of the working men of this
city tonight was not only large as to numbers
but brilliant in appearance. They carried
torches and transparencies with appropriate
notices to illustrate the object of their COM
bined movement, namely, eight hours for a
legal days work. The line was about mile
in length, perhaps the largest and most i'm
posing civic procession ever witnessed in
this city. Some of the trades, such as carpen-
ters, gas filters, boiler and steam engine MAX
ers, blacksmiths and painters, gave practical
exhibitions of their respective vocations, while
the printers worked off a short poem in ad-
vocacy of the eight hour system. A ship, full
rigged, with men on board, was among the
prominent objects of interest. Thousands of
spectators lined the streets through which the
procession passed. The working men halted
before the City Hall, where addresses were
delivered to the immense crowd in advocacy of
the eight hour system.
