PARIS, Nov. 1.-At the session of the
international Labor Conference Yesterday
a resolution was unanimously carried
that emfgrants should accept the condi-
tions of local trade organizations and not
undersell each others labor.
The conference to-day discussed the
best means OF furthering permanent un-
derstandInS among wOrkingmen's sOcie-
ties OF the different countries. The
Italian and Spanish delegates ad-
vGcate parliamentary agitation, pop
ular propaganda and universal
suffrage. The French delegates
again spoke i'll favor of a resort to force,
as nothing could be gained otherwise.
The other delegates, especially those from
England, vigorously protested against
such ideas, the eXpounders of which they
declared were the worst enemies of the
working classes. General applause was
elected by this declaration. Legal CO.
alltIons of wOrkmen against masters. the
speakers thought, were amply sufficient.

NORTH RANGERS FAILURE.
An Easier Feeling Reported in TIN
Liverpool Cotton Market


Liverpool Cotton Market.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 1.-Anxiety and dis
trust continues in the cotton trade, and
further failures are supposed to be i'm
pending.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. l, l P. M.-There is
an easier feeling in the cotton market.
The general opinion is that the crisis has
eliminated, and that the firms that have
been considered financially embarrassed
will be able to meet all demands as they
may become due. There is a better tone
in the market. MOritz Ranger has filed a
petition for liquidation by arrangement
with his creditors. The Liverpool Post
says Ranger speculated on the New York
Cotton Exchange, and was unfortunate
there.
Moritz Ranger, in his petition for liquida-
ton, states that his liabilities are ,0S0.-
600 and his assets $3.50 900.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-MellOr d FentOn's
Liabilities are estimated at 100000. The
Times attributes the failure of Moritz
Ranger, the Liverpool cotton broker, to
his grossly reckless speculation in Eng
land and America and on the continent.
1t says he aimed to control the cotton
exchanges of the world, and had the
help of wealthy houses in London,
New York and Hamburg. The effect of
failures in Liverpool will be local. The
London money market is not affected by
them. There probably will be an in
creased demand for cotton, followed by a
reaction. The Itme severely condemns
the wild dealings in futures which have
prevailed in Liverpool, and advises the
adoption of the American rules for the de-
posit OF margins as some restriction
thereto

DUBLIN'S LORD MAYOR
NOT ALLO WED TO LECTURE IN
LONDONDERRY.

The Procession EscOrtIng Him Fired
IntO-One Man MOrtally Wounded
The City Hall Taken Possession OF by
NatiOnalists-Police Charge the Mob
The Military Called Out.
LONDONDERRY. IRELAND, Nov. IA
large number Of 0rangemen took possess
sion of and occupied the City Hall to-day,
in order to prevent the Lord Mayor of
Dublin, for whom the hall had been en-
gagged, from delivering lecture upon the
franchise.
A number Of Nationalists from Donegal
arrived here this morning and assembled
at the railway station to meet the Lord
Mayor of Dublin. They will entertain
him at dinner tonight. The authorities
stationed policemen along the streets of
the city through which the Lord Mayor
passed. A troop of Lancers has arrived
to prevent any collision between Orange
men and Nationalists. The seizure by
Orangemen of the City Hall created
intense excitement here. Some of
the Orangemen, stationed themselves
upon the roof of the building and waved
their regalia. Several of them with sponge
rods belonging to cannon have gone inside
the building. They are determined to
forcibly.hOl the City Hall. The corpora
tl0n met this morning and rescinded its
resolution to rent the hall for the delivery
OF the lecture by the Lord Mayor of Dub
lin.
Upon the arrival of the Lord Mayor of
Dublin he was placed in a wagon and
driven through the city. The procession
escOrting him carried green banners, and
their bands played Irish national airs.
The Lord Mayor arrived at his hotel
safely. During the passage of the pro-
cessl0n a man was shot in the face and a
boy received a bullet in one of his eyes.
Serious rlotlng is expected. The Orange
men have planted the union jack on the
roof of the City Hall.
While the procession, which was es-
corting the Lord Mayor of Dublin to his
hotel was passing the City Hall the
Orangemen congregated there fired upon
1t and threw states from the window and
roof of the building. The man who was
previously reported to be wounded is
dying, and his deposition has been taken.
The Nationalist procession dispersed after
the Lord Mayor entered Roddy's
Hotel, but an angry crowd after
wards cOngregated around the City Hall,
which they stoned, breaking its windows.
The police then charged the mob, and
cleared the streets. The military were
then called out to assist in restoring or
der. Bodies of Lancers are parading the
main streets. Intense anxiety prevails
in all circles throughout the city.
LONDONDERRY, Nov. 1, p. M.-The
Orangemen have vacated the City Hall,
and withdrawn from its vicinity. The
Mayor has issued a proclamation appeal
ing to the people to refrain from violence
and retaliation.
LONDONDERRY, Nov. 1, IL p. M.-The
city has resumed its normal quietude.
Mr.. Dawson, Lord Mayor of Dublin, de-
livered his lecture this evening at the
National Institute. The man and boy
who were wounded this afternoon are in
a precariOus condition. One Orangeman
has been arrested charged with shooting

THE PENSION DISCLOSURE.
Secretary Teller Gives His Reasons 70
Modifying the Rules.

Secretary Teller Gives His Reasons for
Modifying the Rules.
: WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The effect of
the order in regard to pension attorneys,
made yesterday by Secretary Teller, will
be to allow the continuance in practice of
those pension attorneys who have not
yet been heard in reply to the charges
upon which they were suspended. The
Secretary to-day said that when his at
tention was called to the order requiring
the suspension of an attorney upon the
filing of charges, he became convinced
of its injustice, and he modified it so as
to protect reputable attorneys from the
consequences of filing of charges that
might upon their face appear
to be well founded, but which investiga-
tiOn might disprove. He added that in
cases where attorneys had been suspended
for sending out offensive circulars, they
would probably be reinstated if guilty in
tent was not shown, upon agreement to
refrain from the further use of such cir
culars. None of the cases of recent sus-
pension had come before him for final dis
position, and he could not say what the
result OF his consideration Of them would
be, but he did not believe that the Co M
missioner of Pensions made charges with
out satisfying himself that the persons
charged were culpable,

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The collision between
the HOlyhead and Alhambra occurred at
IL p. m. Tuesday. The night was mild
and fairly clear. By some means the AL
hambra got across the track of the Holy

Commissioner HendersOn's Opinion as
to Georgia Crops.

Hon. j. L. Henderson, Commissioner of
Agriculture for the State of Georgia, who
was in Augusta Wednesday, in an inter
view with the Chronicle, said he thought
from present appearances that cotton
might turn out about 90 per cent. of an
average crop in this State. Our crop
would probably be in Georgia 100000
bales or about 100000 short. He said if
the present fine weather continues there
Will be little increase by the second
crops maturing. In some localities new
bOlls are forming and if frost is DELAYED
two weeks these bolls may open. In re-
gard to the fall sowing of grain he thought
the prospect decidedly promising. The
demand for seed oats is heavy, and the
same is true of wheat and small grain
generally. Spring sOwings are less salts
factory, but the fall grain planting is almost
certainty. The oat yield this year was re-
duced on account of the smaller acreage.
In answer to the question as to the con-
ditiOn of the Georgia farmer this year, he
remarked: ''FrOm the long and disastrous
drought, the hill and upland crops are
failures. This has cut off the Weld to the
farmer. The hog crop this year is larger
than ever before. There will be no scarcity
of meat in the country. Corn is in good
quantity; the potato crop is fair; the
sugar cane yield is good, and husbandry
is more diversified, showing a more
healthy tone in the planting world. OF
truck he would shortly be able to report
fully and accurately. Reports of the
prOtitableness of it so far conflict The
fertilizer season." said Judge Henderson,
sis little backward. Last seasons total,
$4,000 tons, sold in Georgia, shows fall
ing off from 'S2, when the inspection in
dicated 127, 900 tons. The heaviest season
was in 'S1, when 152,000 tons were dis
tributed in this State.v

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Titles to 2, $50 Acres of Land in Colorado
Cancelled.

Cancelled.
DENVER, Nov. An unusually i'm
portant case was decided by Judge Nc
Crary, in the United States Circuit Court
to-day. The United States brought suit
to cancel slXty-One patents to lands held
by the Colorado Coal and Iron Company,
and others, in Los Animas county. The
patents were obtained through the pre-
emption law, between 1870 and 1874, and
were issued from the Pueblo Land Office.
1t was afterward discovered that the
patents had been irregularly OBJ
tanned, the patentees being fictitious
persons. Testimony was introduced to
show that the Register and Receiver of
the Land Office were parties to the fraud.
The defense claim that the deeds were not
good, granting that they were traudu-
lently obtained, because now they are in
the hands of innocent parties. The Judge
held adversely and rendered decision in
favor of the cOmplainants, which cancels
the title to 1850 acres of valuable land.
