THE LABOR CONFERENCE.
international Trades-Uni Recommends

international Trades-Union Recommended
for WOrkmen.
PARIS, Oct, 30.-1n the international Labor
Conference a great diversity of opinion pre-
'vailsamong the delegates. The subject of in
t%ernational legislation was resumed, but the
discussion degenerated into generalities. The
French delegates again urged state interven-
ton. Workmen, it was said, ought TO
form a political party, and if necessary
resort to force. The admission of foreign
workmen to the French syndical chambers
was demanded.
Henry Broadhurst, honorary president of
the conference. argued that complete har-
mony existed in England between
the working and middle classes.
He advocated legislation only for
protection of women and children and repu-
dated violence.
This evening an Englishman named Bur-
nett addressed the meeting. He emphasized
the friendly feeling of English workmen to-
ward the French, and dweit upon the bene-
fits of trades-unions. He expected no
immediate result from the present
conference, but thought it would lay the
future basis of international trades-unions.
The government, he said, sought war, while
w-orkingmen wished peace, union and prog
ress, His speech was heartily applauded.

Wanting Chinese Immigration.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-In a dispatch TO the
Department of State, Rollin NJ, Daggett,
United States minister resident at Honolulu,
reports a meeting of the Hawaiian cabinet,
at which the resolutions protesting against
further immigration of Chinese male laborers
into the Hawaiian islands were ~rescinded,
and a resolution adopted instead authorizing
immigration thither of such labcrers, under
certain restrictions, at a rate not to exceed
600 in any three months. The reason for
this change is understood to be owing to the
great number OF Chinese laborers who an
nually return to China at the expiration OF
their contracts.

Rats and Mice.

American Agricultural.
When once within an old house they find
abundant hiding places, and often passages
from one part of the house to another made
by their predecessors. Still much may be
done to ~circumvent them. All visible holes
through partitions and doors should be
stopped by pieces of tin. Old fruit cans. with
the solder melted off answer for the pur-
pose. The tin may be cut with a pair of
old shears and tackled over the holes, first
punching with an awl places for the tacks.
Where there is a hole through the
plastering, or between stones of
the cellar wall, these may be effectually
stopped with plaster of Paris mixed
with coarsely broken glass. They cannot
work through this. 1t is we'll to make a
study OF the ways of these animals and fol-
low them up. OF course, after interfering
with their runs and holes as much as posi-
BILE, 1t is desirable to catch those that are in
the house, as poisoning is not advisable in
the dwelling. Even the most willy and cum
ming old rat may be caught, if his suspicious
are overcome by food in a trap arranged not
to spring. After he has learned 10 iced in
the trap regularly, it may be set. When a
rat has been caught, the trap should be
soaked in water for some days, else others
will avoid it. Trapping rats requires tact.

intendenu Thompson.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Superintendent

submitted his annual report. The number
OF railway postoffice lines in 1883 was 1913, an
increase of tw%enty-four over 1882. The num-
Der Of miles of route for which railroads
were paid is 1O9, S27, an increase of 1924 over
1882. The number of miles of railroad trav-
eIed by clerks is sc, $50, 430, an increase of TO-
43S. 1872. The number of pieces of mail mat

1929 22 over the preceding year.
The superintendent asks for an increase of
1880 in the appropriation for railway
postal clerks. and $50 900 increase for postal
cars. He recommends that the Postmaster

one years salary of the grade held at the
time of death, and to grant leave OF absence,

Mcdonald aud Holman.

Washington Special.
E1 -Senator Mcdonald and wife arrived
here to-day. He comes here to look after
some cases in the Supreme Court, although
he will find time to look after his presiden-
tial boom. He is looking very we'll, but
there are SO many statesmen trying to cut
each others Threats that Mcdonald is going
to have hard work. Some surprise was felt
here to-day over the publication of a dis
patch from Holman, of Indiana, going back
on Editor Dana, announcing with c~ast-iron
vigor that he is not a candidate himself, and
That he is for Mr.. Tilden. This is regarded
as very unkind, since Holman's hacker has
all along insisted that Tilden was not a can
didate. This looks as if Holman did not be-
lieve in Editor Dana. 1t is another case of

Ex-Delegate Cannon Claims that All Laws
Have Been Obeyed.

Ex-Delegate Cannon Claims that All Laws
Have Been Obeyed.
Washington Special.
NThe Mormon question is certain to be one
of the prominent issues of the winter, i'll
view of the fact that the Utah commission
ers intend to ask for additional Legislation.
Bishop Cannon is here also for the purpose
OF combating. as far as he can, the sugges-
tons of the commission. In speaking Of
the situation 10 Utah to-day, he said: There
are no diff culties of any nature whatever in
Utah, and there is no more need of United
States troops there than there is at a Sunday
school in the city OF Washington. The re-
quest of Governor Murray for troops to assist
officers in serving civil processes was the
veriest kind of buncombe, and was simply
intended to bring him prominently be-
fore the administration and the people to
secure his reappointment. His term of
office expires in a short time, and he is
bidding for another lease of official life.
Governor Murray commands no respect from
the masses OF the people in Utah. He has
made himself offensive to all Of the good
people there. He is considered a purjurer.
He has violated his oath of office time and
again by certifying to false election c%ertiti-
Gates, and by interfering in social and church
matters where he was neither needed nor de-
sired. and ne is generally abominable in the
eyes of all good people of the Territory"
Cannon, speaking of the forthcoming re-
port of the commissioners, said: Their re-
port will be all that the anti-Mormons and
anti-polygamists could hope for. [ have just
been told by one of the commissioners that
the commission is highly pleased with the
workings of the Edmunds act, and will so
report. Certainly the Mormon Church was
greatly displeased with the act when it was
passed, and not only believed it unjust, but
unconstitutional, and We have been and are
yet fighting it in the courts on constitutional
grounds"
Are there men in the Mormon Church
yet who persist in living with a plurality Of
wives?''
No. When the Ednunds act went into
effect those having plural wives selected one
to live with, and placed the Others with their
children in separate houses, where they
maintain them. But their marital relations
have been severed, excepting that the ex-
husbands continue to support the families
the law has compelled them to desert. There
Is little said of that by the church; but, so
far rs the world and the church are con-
cerned, the marital ties in plural marriages
were severed when the Edmunds act took
effect. Some of the extreme opponents of
Mormonism advocate the sfranchisemen
OF all Mormons whether p~olygamists or not,
but no such law could pass, and, if passed,
could NOT stand. No purely religious belief
can be used to disqualify a man for citizen
ship so long as he obeys existing laws"

Only Spent e7A,O 900.

LONDON, Oct. 3o.-Sir Henry James, Attor-
uey-general, addressed a large Liberal DEM
onstration at Dumfreys last evening. He
denied that there had been any extravagant
expenditure under the Liberal administra-
ton of the government. He said that while
the last Conservative administration had
spent an average of 984,00 0 900 yearly, their
predecessors in Office, the Liberals had only
disbursed an average of ETA, 900, 900 a year.
The meeting passed a vote of confidence in
the government. A resolution was passed
urging the ministers to deal easily in the
session of Parliament with the franchise
question.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-John Davis Walters, a
broker, charged with stealing and receiving
bonds deposited with the London and River
plate Bank, was brought up at Guild hall
Police Court, to-day, for denomination.
George Warden, the d~efaulting manager of

siderable amount of money belonging
to his sisters, but that he
obtained 9l.900 for them from
Walters, before his flight. He reaffirmed his
former statement that Walters knew the
bonds he gave him were distracted from the
bank, and said he often begged Walters to
spare him the necessity of another robbery,
but Walters persisted in his so doing.
The London and River-plate Bank has de-
cided to pay for the securities deposited with
them for sate-keeping. and which were alb
stracted by Warden, the %defaulting manager.
