W ASHlNGION, Aprl Eo'
Senator Harris presented the Gre
dentia Of Whitlhorne, appointed
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Senator Jackson.
Senat + Morrill,, from the commit
tee en- finance, reported with an
amendment the house bill relating to
the bonds of brewers as agreed o,and
bill as ame nded was passed.
A bill was reported by Senator Har-
ris, making an appropriation to COM
plete the public buildings at Jackson,
Tenn. 1t was passed.
Senator Van Wyck desired to take
up the bill taxing railroad lands, but
yielded to Senator Blair, who accord
ing to previous notice then addressed
the senate on his proposed constitu
tional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture of sale Of alcoholic Ii
quors as beverages. He
announced his we'll known
views and then entered upon poll
tical speech and said that the move
ment for local option and amend
ments TO state constitutions were of
great importance as a means of Great
ing and enlightened public opinion
in the states, but nothing short Of a
movement based on national idea
presented clear prospect of complete
success. 1t was time for the prohi-
bi,ion idea to assume control Of
national politics, at least
of the Republican party.
That party could not permanently
remain thleefourths for prohibition
and one fourth against it. That was
less possible than it once was for the
nation to remain permanently one
half slave and one-half free. Ideas
never compromised. We were now

American people of all parties prefer

on this occasion, spoken partly as q
Republican, but he did this only be-
cause he believed that thus did ht
speak most as an American, and most
as man. That party, with all it
faults, with all its failures tt
reach its ideals, was the great agency
which, under God, had saved the re
public. That party would, from thu
love of its superior being and unfin
ished mission, concentrate its tire
mendous energies and its perfected
equipment fight this gigantic ma
tional evil until the evil was de
stroyed.
The interstate commerce bill wa
then taken up, and Senator Val
Wyck addressed the senate.

ST. LOUIS, April 2G.-Two hundred
striking employees of the Missouri
Car and Foundry company, held a
meeting yesterday to hear a report of
their committee, appointed the day
before to call upon President McMil-
Ian and persuade him to aceede to
their demand that the company cease
furnishing repair material to the Mis-
souri, Pacific. The committee re-
ported they had called upon Mr..
Mcmillan, but could not obtain any
assurance from him their demands
would be complied with. The meet
ing then adopted resolutions setting
forth their reasons for striking, and
stating they would not return to
work until their demands were
granted. All strikers, however, were
not present, and those absent, not
being bound by the action of the
meeting, returned to their old places
this morning. Several new men also
applied for places, and there is now
at work about $50 in all. President
Mcmillan says that the management
of the company will take back all of
the old employees who apply for work
today, and will employ all efficient
new men who desire to enter the
company's service. He says the works
will be in full operation by the end
of the week.

The Eight Hour Law.

New YORK, April 26. : Enquiry
among the leading real estate men
shows that rents for all classes of
property for building purposes are
being reduced from ten to twenty-five
per cent. Strikes and labor troubles
in the building trades are preventing
the commencement of many new
buildings. 1t is thought this will
cause an increase in rents next sea-
son. The effect of the labor troubles
upon the building trade in this city
can hardly be estimated. 1t is de-
clared that buildingin this city will be
practically suspended this summer on
this account. The same story comes
from Boston in regard to
the effects of labor, agitation on
the building trade. Specials to the
Sun say; "The struggle over the
eight hour movement will be Il ssr-
rious one. In view of the DISTURBED
condition of labor it was recently de-
termined to limit the demand to
building trades. The labor union re-
Gently made public many replies re
ceived from employers in answer to
questions sent out. This has resulted
in an address published today, signed
by 125 employees in building trade es.
The address declares there
is nothing in present outlook to war
rant any such change and that any
attempt to arbitrarily enforce it will
simply resultin retirement of capital
from business enterprises, which is
now occurring. The hours of labor and
rate of wages and time of payment, re-
main as at present, but on Saturday
eight hours be accepted as days Ia
Dor. 1t is probably employees will de-
cline to yield any point in their de-
mand and that they Will resort to a
strike. Painters and decorators so
voted yesterday"
ST. LOUIS, April 26.-Contractors
and builders here recently organized
to take some definite action upon the
eight hour agitation. 1t is said this
morning that the builders generally
had agreed to consider eight hours Il
