LABOR TROUBLES.
The Strike of the Freight Handlers at
New Orleans Still in Progress.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27.-The strike Of
the railroad freight handlers continues to
cause much trouble to the officials of the
road, but they report that they are max
ing fair progress with their business.
Most of the roads have brought laborers
from other points. These the regular
hands capture as fast as they arrive, Civ
ing them food for a day or two and then
money enough to pay their way home.
superintendent Williams, of the North
eastern Railroad, says that his company
will not submit to dictation concerning
the employment of laborers. They are
willing 10 give employment to citizens in
preference to strangers, but now the
strikers demand that only union men
shall be employed. No question of
wages is involved. A Texas Pacific
official said to-day that the roads would
continue to bring laborers from other
points until there would be more men
than the strikers could take care of.
Railroad men do not appear to think that
the strike will last long, but the strikers
appear firm and are confident of ultimate
success. Mayor Behan has been notified
by the management of the Louisville and
Nashville and the Illinois Central roads
that they expect trouble, and they ask
for aid. The police have been instructed
TO render them assistance in case of ne
cessity.

ADMIRAL COURBET REPORTED

An Unsatisfactory Denial of the Rumor

PARIS, Nov. PA rumOr was current
this afternoon in the lobbies of the Cham
Der Of Deputies that Admiral Courbet
with his forces, had been defeated in Ton
quin by the Black Flags and his communi-
cations cut off. The rumors were given
more credence, because no official in

siderable uneasiness felt at the absence
OF news from Admiral Courbet's expedi-
tiOn.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Times states
authorltatiyely that Mr.. Errington. the
English representative at the Vatican. is
not empowered to negotiate in behalf OF
the Irish prelates. Many of the Ameri-
can Bishops now in Rome are said to be
strongly opposed to the object which Mr..
Errington is alleged to have in view,
namely, to obtain from the Pope a further
condemnation of the Irish political move
ment.
The Marquis of Harrington, Secretary
OF State for War, in referring, in a speech
at Manchester tonight, to the proposed
inclusion of Ireland in the scheme tor
parliamentary reform, said that it was
useless to ignore the fact that many peo-
pie outside of the ranks of the Conserva-
tlves would view with dislike any meas
ure likely to increase the power of the ir-
reconcllables in Parliament.
Mr.. Chamberlain, President of the
Board OF Trade, recently expressed an
opinion in favor of extending the reform
measure to Ireland.
The Irish Government authorities have
discovered that the Fenians O'Riordan
and Captain McCafferty, for whom re-
wards are offered, are residing in Ireland
ana America respectively. The govern
ment is satisfied that they We're not con-
nected with the recent explosions at

AMERICA AND THE VATICAN.
Little Probability of an Attempt to Re
open DIPLOMATIC Relations.

Little Probability of an ATTEMPT to Re
open Diplomatic Relations.
LONDON, Nov. PA correspondent at
Rome says that the report that the Ameri-
can Bishops have proposed that the Vati-
can send a Nuncio to America is an I'M
founded report, and probably arose
through misrepresentation of the fact
that the Vatican thinks of sending
Monsignor Sepiacci to preside as Apos-
tolic Legatee over the labors of the
council to be held in America in 1884.
The American Bishops are here
to make arrangements for the
council, and MOnsignor Sepiacci will re-
main in America to carry the labOrs of
the council into effect, and afterwards to
maintain direct commune alton between
the Vatican and the Church in America

latlOns between the Vatican and America
has not been mOoted. Moreover remem-
ORANGES OF the circumstances which led
to the recall from Rome in 1867 of Gen.
King, the American representative, will

OF the kind being favorably viewed by
the American Congress.
ROME, Nov. 27.-Cardnal SimeOni. the
prefect of the Propaganda, yesterday. in
behalf of the Pope, congratulated the
American Bishops upon their agreement
and upon the settlement of the principal
questions which had been submitted. The
questions discussed to-day were the rela-
tlons OF the bishops to the Pope and the
relations OF the clergy to the bishops.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Col. A. F.
Rockwell, superintendent of Public Build

the guard in the cemetery where the late
President Garfield is buried, said that he
was not desirOus of having perpetual
military force stationed there, as report
ed, but he thought that the body should
have the protection of some kind of a

pleted to effectually make it secure. Such
arrangements, he believed, would soon be

soon as the foundations should be laid the

men prominent in former conventions

speedy accomplishment of its object was

subject alive, however, that 1t can be ac-
cOmplished. A number of resolutions
were presented asking the United States
Government to call convention of all
governments in the western hemisphere
to meet in W Washington.
At the evening session the Committee
on Resolutions submitted a resolution,
which was adopted. 1t was to the effect
that the method of teaching history,
which dwells on the details of war rather
than on the inner life of nations, fosters
an erroneous impression as to the rela-
tiOn of war to humanity, and favors the
belief in the error that international dis
putes cannot be settled except by a re-
sort to arms.
