Still in Session.


Chicago, Oct 9-The federation OF the
trade and labor unions consumed all of
the forenoon session ID discussing the
various planks in their declaration of
principles without reaching any definite
result. The following resolution was
adopted:
Resoleed, That owing to painful
circumstances in connection with exist.
ing troubles between the international
and progressive cigar makers, the union
will instruct the legislative committee
at the close OF congress to open COM
mupications with the principal officers
of the above unions and offer their
services as mediators with view to
bringing about harmony between those
bodies.
The committee on resolutions recon.
mended the adoption of resolu.
ton asking President Arthur to
appoint August Donald for commits.
sioner of labor statistics. This provoked
heated discussion; one delegate sug.
gested that criticising President Arthur
one day and asking favor of him the
next placed the convention in peculiar
position. The fact was developed that
certain of the delegates favored other
men for the position. The resolution was
finally voted down and the convention
adjourned until 2 p. m.

Sioux Falls Press, 5th: p. 81. Kelly, not
the st. Paul groceryman, but member
of the Thayer surveying party now en-
gagged in locating the line for the Iowa,
Sioux Falls and Northern railroad, ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon.
He left the party about seven or eight
miles out from here. The road has now
been permanently located for the dis
tance named. From this city the line
runs parallel with the Sioux City road,
and this portion embraces the heaviest
grade on the entire route, but it is no
heavier than the grade of the Sioux City
track. The line was run down Spring.
dale creek to the rapids in the Sioux
river. and the party was within about
two miles of that crossing yesterday.
On the whole, Mr.. Kelly regards the
route between this city and the river as
not difficult one to grade; and beyond
the crossing to Rock Rapids the grade
is of the easiest character. The party,
which entered upon the work on the 11th
of September, expects to reach Rock
Rapids on the LIST of November.
