UNUSUALLY DULL SESSION.

SUBSTANCE OF THE MEASURE,
Special 70 ne Reqiaer.


WASHINGTON, January S.-The youthful
Perry Belmont, son of August Belmont, the
great New York broker, and Representa-
tive in Congress from the First New York
District, is somewhat sgitated in mind over
what his judgm n! regards as the improper
attitude of the Arthur administration to-
ward the rest of the world in taking part in
the Congo conference. He has introduced
into the House resolution calling for in
formation on the subject, and means to make
it hot for the administration to the extent OF
his (Pery's) ability. He absolutely
refuses to make public the details Of his
possibly diabolical plan for accomplishing
this result. He is afraid that the relations
of the Cleveland administration with the
world at large may get mixed up, unless,
as a leading Democrat in the House, he
shall do all in .his power to prevent i'm
pending complications. Mr.. Belmonts
kindness will be duly appreciated BY Presi-
dentelect Cleveland, unless that gentle
man entertains wild notion that his ad-
ministration will be capable Of taking care
of its foreign relations, without the
assistance, preliminary or other
wise, of the member from
the First New York district. In the latter
case the President.elect will do well to ca
piiulate at once, or Mr. Belmont may sue.
ceed in making it hot for the new Demo
cratic Secretary of State, as well as for MIR.
Frelinghuysen. Possibly the cspltulahon
has already taken place and Perry is to be
Secretary of State himself. This, however,
to do Mr.. Cleveland full justice, IS
ouly wild and groundless
suggestion. 1t will not be
forgotten, however, that Perry is the man
whose winged darts OF sarcasm pierced to
the marrow. the Plumed knight Of Maine
and knocked all the vitality out OF him long
before the nomination of the latter for the
Presidency, thus making possible and prob
able an easy victory for the Democracy IN
the contingency Of Blaine's nomination.
Senator Morrills attack on the recipro-
city treaties is regarded as one of the strong
est speeches made during the present ses-
sion of Congress in either House 1t looks
at present as though neither the Spanish
nor the Nicarauguan treaty would be con
frmed, which will be another black eve for
the administration.
Arrangements for the Inauguration cere-
monies are still incomplete, Of course, bat
are rapidly assuming definite form. No
effort will he omitted to make it comfort
able for all visitors, and to add eclat in
every possible way to the ceremonies.
IL is said that while President Arthur is
not particularly anxious to 90 down to New
Orleans he will pay a visit to the Exposl-
ton there in February if possible, in defer
ence to the wishes of his many southern
friends. The general opinion among north
eru men who have been down at New Or
leans is not favorable one. j. 4.

tives to-day. The first provision is to the

DEs MONIES, a., January S.-Trouble
broke out afresh among the striking miners
at Anglers last evening. At o'clock, as
gang Of about forty men who had displaced
tie strikers were leaving one Of the mines,
they were surrounded by a crowd of three or
four hundred strikers, who proceeded TO
hustle them out of town, kicking and shoy-
ing them along and handling them generally
pretty roughly. When well outside the city
they offered resistance and a general
melee followed, in which the socalled
"blacklegs" were numerically pounded.
The entire crowd of forty, leaving their
bi used and beaten comrades, finally reached
Perry, three miles distant, where they were

WASHINGTON, January S.-There has
been much comment among members OF
the Ways and Means Committee on the
opinion of the Attorney General submitted
to the Secretary of the Treasury on the ex-
tension of the bonded period for whisky,
and the extraordinary action Of the latter
in issuing circulars to collectors in con-
formily Herewith. Today the subject was
informally discussed in committee, but. no
determination was reached. The general
sentiment prevails that the Secretary had
no authority to extend the time for pay
ment of tax on spirits and it is not i'm
probable that some action may be taken to
express the views OF the committee against
this nnwarranted assumption Of power on
the part of the executive department OF the

Board of Arbitration Of the Shoe Mauutac-

ed rules which, if adhered to by all parties

the right of the manufacturer to employ or

charged because he is an active member Of
the knights of Labor, he has the right to
be heard by the Arbitration Committee.
Ten hours are to comprise working day,
and extra labor must be compensated for
by extra pay. Shop meetings are to be
held only after working hours, and pending
the discussion and decision Of any differ
ence of dispute there shall be no lockout,
strike stoppage or cessation Of work by
either employer or employed. The rules
further provide for the appointment of the
Joint Board of Arbitration, which is to con-
sist of seven manufacturers and seven en-
ployes, and furnishes guide for its action.
