interfere with them until the firms against
which the strike is already declared are dis
posed Of The conference committee will meet
tomorrow and hopes are entertained that the
difficulty may be adjusted.

BUFFALO, Dec. 8.-The National Board of
Trade to-day passed a resolution asking for a
modification by the government of the regula-
tiOns in regard to transportation of imported
goods from sea ports to the interior, and taking
the ground that it is not unnecessary that the
cars or vessels should contain no other goods
than those shipped in bond for immediate
transportation; that common carriers should
not be required to bear the expenses of Gus
toms inspectors, and that some plan should be
devised at once whereby merchandise can be
transferred directly from the vessel wherein it
was imported to the place of destination. On
the subject of transportation of grain, resolu-
tions were passed requesting railway compa-
MES to give all shippers of grain such bills of
lading as would be good at the place of delivery
for the goods specified as received, and asking
the Legislatures of the different States to pass
laws compelling railroad companies to weigh
the grain taken by them and give receipt for
the amount, and requiring them to deliver the
quantity specified at the place of destination or
to pay for deficiencies. The Board also re-
solved to favor the civil service reform and the
Genital system bill. and passed resolutions Of
respect to the memory of the late Gen. Wal.
bridge.
