CHICAGO, December 13-Edward Null
raney, the delegate from the Chicago
Trade Assembly to the recent Congress OF
Federated Trades at Columbus, Ohio, has
arrived home. In conversation with a
reporter Mr. Mulraney said the action OF
the Congress relative to the Trades Unions
and the Knights of Labor was especially
important. Zone result OF our action, !"
said he, sis that no Knights of Labor card
will be recognized by any trades union
represented at Columbus. This, You say,
means war. don't care fit does result
in a war. If q man wants to work at a
Union trade he must belong to the Union

shoemaker, and blacksmith-who do not
know anything more about bricklaying

becomes involved in"
Being asked about the political move
ment, Mr.. Mulraney expressed himself as
decidedly opposed to any third party
movement, and said that many of the
delegates agreed with him. ''The labor

WAS there any attempt made to secure
a resolution in favor of the Anarchists"
''I was Just going to speak about that.
When the Congress reached the subject OF

from he Central Labor Union of Chicago,
which wound up with resolutions like

Here Mr.. Mulraney produced the follow

this body (the Congress of Federated
Trades that the great trades of America

deem it unwise for us to interfere with the

PASTOR DOWNS VICTORY.
The District Attorney withdraws All the
Indictments Against Him.

The District Attorney withdraws All the
Indictments Against Him.
BosToN, Mass, December 13.-Rev. W.
W. Downs, the famous pastor Of the Bow
doin Square Baptist church, who has been
indicted on the charge Of adultery with
Mrs. Annie Taber and equally serious
crimes with other members of his flock, is
free man.
Every case against him was nolle pressed
to-day. The cause was lack of evidence.
When the December indictments had been
read in the Superior Criminal Court to-day
District Attorney Stevens arose and said:
In December, 1885, an indictment was
found against Mr.. Downs and Annie j.
Taber for adultery, and the case has been
pending for some time, and have been
unable TO procure the attendance Of wit
nesses to t,y it. 1t is better for public
morals, from the character of the evidence
that would be produced, that the case
should be nolle pressed"
In July last second Indictment was
found against Downs for adultery with
Alice Nepton. Some time after the in
dictment was found she came TO me and
stated that her charges against Mr.. Downs
We're all false, and that he had not been
guilty of adultery with her. asked her
if she had seen Downs recently, and she
protested that she had not.
''The circumstances in the case being so
peculiar, had an investigation made of
the case and found that Downs had gone
to St Johns. There is evidence also that
the Nepton woman went to st. Johns at
the same time. Downs came TO Boston
from st. Johns with the Nepton woman in
the same boat. think that il would be
impossible to secure conviction on the
evidence in this case and think il would
be also nolle pressed"
Judge Pitman said the whole affair was
trusted to the judgment of the District
Attorney, and if Mr.. sStev ems made the
motion he should drop the cases from the
docket, which was accordingly done.
The brown curly locks of the handsome
pastor were tossing in the wind and his
face was wrcathed in smiles as Herald
correspondent overlook him on Beacon
street this afternoon.
$50 il is all settled ut last, is it?" asked
the Herald man.

Mr.. Morrill, moved the reference of this
resolution to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Beck opposed such reference, and
suggested that Senators on both sides
should urge on their friends in the House
to pass some tariff measure so as to bring
the question before the Senate in some
practical manner, and thus
OPEN THE DOORS FAIRLY To DEBATE.
He was not welded TO any scheme. He
wanted taxes reduced. He believed that
before this country acquired the CONNER
cial position it was entitled to, it must
carry its own products on its own ships;
and that it could not do so long as 1T had
to pay so per cent more on every bolt and
every piece of cordage in ship, than its
competitors had to pay. The removal OF
the tax on tobacco or sugar would not open
single manufacturing establishment in
the United States. Such things were only
suggested for the purpose OF preventing
anything being done to enlarge manutae-
turing powers, and to send manufactured
products abroad. The men who owned
manufactures were content with the
American market. With all their pretenses
of aiding American labor, they intended
to keep this market TO themselves (charg-
ing what they liked and TO let their labor
ers starye rather than give them chance
of an extended market by which they
could have employment twelve months IN
the year, instead of as now, four or five
months.

tiOn, and to show that prOtectiOnists were

He protested against the resolution being
taken from before the Senate until he and
other men who thought with him should
have chance to say what they thought
about it. Mr.. Morrison said he would be
the last man to cut off the Senator from
Kentucky, from the opportunity of making
a speech on the tariff He therefore would
not press the motion to refer.
The resolution was then laid over. A
message from the House was presented on
the subject of the death Of Representative
DOwdney, OF New York. A resolution
was adopted for the appointment of COM
mittee to attend the funeral, Senators
Miller, Dawson and Voorhees, being ap-
pointed such committee, and as mark OF
respect for the deceased the Senate ad-
iourned.

RI0T0US STRIKERS.
Street Cars Wrecked and Passengers
Roughly Handled.

street Cars Wrecked und Passengers
Roughly Handled.
SAN FRANCISCO December l3.-The
strike of the street car employees assumed
serious proportions for an hour yesterday
afternoon. In the morning the Gcary
street line was tied up by order of the
Knights of Labor. The strikers formed
a procession in the afternoon, and, headed
by some 300 young hoodlums, marched
over both street car lines, attacked and
beat the new hands and chased them away;
and in seueral instances mlltreated pas
sengcrs of both sexes. Some thirty per-
sons, chiefly women, were more or less
hurt and were taken to the Sutter street
Company's office for medical attention and
police protection. The procession of strik-
ers marched slowly, to prevent the cars
behind them from running on schedule
time, while all cars approaching were
made targets for bricks, cObblestones and
sticks.
The police, though aware of the inten-
tiOns OF the strikers had sent out only ten
men and Sergeant to keep order. This
insignificant force was brushed aside like
so many flies, and several of the officers
were severely beaten. After most of the
windows of the Sutter street cars had been
smashed, and the strikers had finished
their march and dispersed, large force of
police was sent to the scene of the disturb
ances. The apathy of the police is alleged
TO be due to the fact that Higgins, local
political boss, controls.the force, andis the
bitter enemy of Superintendent McCOrd, of
the Sutter street line, who tried with others
to overthrow Higgins in the late campaign.
Great indignation is felt by respectable
people at the rough treatment of the wo-
men and children who were elected from
the street cars by the strikers.

CLAMoRoUs PRISONERS.
How the New Hall Bond Law Operates In
Chicago.

Chicago.
CHICAGO, December l3.-The principal
police stations were practically crowded
last night, it being the frst Sunday on
which the new ordinance relative 10 the
bail bonds was in force. Down stairs in
the cells were men who had committed
trifiing offenses and all were clamOuriDg
to be let out. Many who had sent notes
10 influential friends were denouncing
these friends because they had not secured
release. The desk sergeauts were kept
busy answering the questions Of men who
dropped in TO see n they could secure
the release Of prisoners by putting
up q deposit. Many Of these had Sc
cured the release Of their friends on former
occasions They were shocked when they
heard the provisions Of the new law. Some
tried TO intimidate the police authorities
into releasing friends, while others tried TO
effect their purpose by pleading.
The new law provides that only prop
erty holder can sign bond, and the only
other alternative is 10 deposit $50 with the
station keeper. A clause In the ordinance
which has been overlooked, allows the Po-
lice Captains and Lieutenants TO take spe-
cial deposits smaller than those specified
by the law. The matter is left disGe-
tionary with police officials. At Harrison
street several so deposits have been
taken for men who have committed small
offenses, where the highest fine would
have been SlU0.
