THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The Senate Discussing the Tariff Bill
Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, December GA statement
from the Director of the Mint in response
TO Senator Stewards resolution at the
last session as to the amount OF silver
bullion offered monthly to The government
since 1878, was presented and ordered
printed.
A communication from the Secretary OF
State, with d certified copy OF the final
ascertainers OF presidential electors 10
Kansas was presented. The presiding of
ficer asked the opinion of the Senate (this
being an entirely new proceeding) as to the
disposition to be made OF papers, whether
tiey should be entered on the "Journal,' y
or placed in the archives Of the Senate.
They were finally referred to the com mmittee
on privileges OF election.
Numerous bills were introduced and re-
Gerrei, including Stewards. to open to act
nal settlers the abandoned military reser-
vations in Nevada.
Henderson introduced II bill for the es-
tablishment of national biological lab
oratory, Blair, to organize government
bureau OF information relating to employ
ments, occupations, wants, means ol LFe'
lihood and homes.
The Senate resumed consideration Of the
tariff bill, beginning with earthenware
and glassware.
Mcpherson said to his mind the rates OF
duties provided in the Senate bill were an
increase on existing rates OF more than ten
ner cent. His own state WAS largely inter-
ested in the industries, but he didn t believe
thew needed the amount OF protection pro.
nosed. The Mills bill, he thought, accorded
to them all the protection they needed,
No amendment was made to that sche1-

one.tenth cents pound to eight-tenths.

Plumb called attention to a paragraph
"a 70 silvered glass (No. 115), and said
such glass was largely used by furniture
nannfacturers, and was almost entirely OF
fore;on make, because silvering OF such
nlo ss in the United States was not durable.
The dutv added two or three dollars to
tho COST Of a bureau, and if the article is
not made in this country, ne did not see
why the duty should not be reducen'
t,,;son did not know why such glass
,,ia not he siIyered in the United States.
I'D be suggested it might be on account OF
tbe duty being too low, it being only equal
TO 10 per cent ad valorem.
Aldrich Harris, Hoar, Plumb and balne
continued the discussion, but no VoIe @ was
taken on the amendment, and the Dill was
,aid aside, the progress for the day being
about eight pages.

dering Lord Mountmorris.
LONDON, November 6.-Upon the reas-
sembling of the Parnell Commission Pat
rick Malloy was arrested in Dublin for refus-
ing to obey subpeuae calling upon him to
give evidence, WAS brought before the just
ices, who committed him to prison.
A laborer named Burke was called. He
stated that at the meetings at Clonbar, of
his branch OF the League, it was decided
that Lord Mountmorris should be made
away with. A proposal to do away with
Lynch was rejected. On the day of the
murder a member OF the League named
Lord Mountmorris. Witness refused. On
the evening of that day another member
told witness he expected Lord Mountmor-
ris to be put away that night. Witness
afterward promised Sweeney, Mulroe,
Fallon and Murphy, all members OF the
League, that he might assist them in doing
away with Lord Mountmorri4, but he sud-
denly missed them. Later in the night he
saw Mulro-, who had been wounded in the
hand, and Mulroe said he had done away
with Lord Mountmorris.
On cross-examination witness said he
could not swear that there was a branch of
the League at Cloabar before the murder.
There was some kind Of branch. but it
might have been d secret society, the same
which the witness joined fourteen Or fifteen
years ago. He promised he might assist in
the murder because he did not like to give
a bad answer, bat he could not say his
promise Was owing to an oath he had
oath.

IN UNPLEASANT RUWOR.
But One Which Cannot Be Traced to ANY
Authoritative Source.

A good deal of speculatio was created
in town last evening by Il rumor that gained
carrencv from AnacoGda to the effect that
Mr.. DAILY had received orders from Mr..
Hacgin, one of the owners OF the Anaconda
Company, to close down the Anaconda
mines and smelter until May. At the town
of Anaconda, there were several rumors to
various eff cts, one that the works were to
he closed down for two months, another
that the men were to resume work to-day.
Gentlemen in Butte connected with the
eompany had no inform ,tion OF the au-
thority for the rumor.
Superintendent Dickinson OF thH Non
tana Union said had sent "ixty-live cars
of ore to AnacoDda last night az soon as
work was r. sumed over thy road. and had
received no communication oi any kind
from Mr. DAILY. He intecded 20 cont nue.
shipping ore until otherwise notified.
Most people we're inclined to doubt the
authenticity of the rumor, as the circum-
stances are apparently against any cause
for such 4. move with copper at its present
high figures and no shortage OF the supply.
1t was learned that the furnaces at the An
aconda smelter had been allowed to 90 out ,
but that s not an uncommon occurrence
and might readily he explained on the
ground Of needed repairs.

Important Meeting of Representatives of

& Country.

Important Meeting of Representatives OF
Trunk Lines from all Parts of the
BHICAGo, December 5.-Members OF the
committee on uniform classification, com-
posed OF three Representatives from every
trafic association in the country, met in
TINS city. yesterday. They meet to take
up the task of urging ali different systems
oflfreight classifcations into one. in ae-
cqdance with the request of the Interst ate
Conmerce Commission. They will proba-
BY be in session several weeks.
IlMeAGo, December 6.-The committee on
Uniform classifcations, after two days.
Discussion of the subject before it, resolved
to-day that strict uniformity can not be
reached by foreed or hurried measures
without producing conditions disastrous
to the business interests OF the country.
was agreed that greater, uniformity in
classification in freight is both desirable
and practicable, but that the only sale
way to work the problem was by frequent
conference and constant effort by the rail
roads to remove the difference in several
classifcations now in use.
A stan ling committee was therefore ap-
pointed, composed OF two each from the
various traffic associations, to follow up
the work OF combining the different classii-
cations. 1t was decided to use such num-
ber of classes as will prevent conflicting
commodities as well as class rates in the
several sections of the country, without
sacrificing the proper interest of carriers.
The general meeting then adjourned TO
meet in Chicago the second Tuesday in
February.

BARRY's NEW ORDER
1T rs TO BE KNOWN rs THE BROTH
ERH0OD OF UNITED LABOR.

An Address IN Which Barry Outlines the
Aims and Objects of the New Organi-
zation, and the Means to be Employed
to Secure Them-The Cardinal Prin-
rency and Transportation.
CHICAGO, December 6.-The ''Times" will
tomorrow publish a text OF an address,
issued by Thomas B. Barry, outlining the
aims and purposes OF the new organiza-
tion which he proposes to form and which
is to be known as the brotherhood OF
United Labor"
IN Ine address Barry says he is not ad-
voeating the formation OF this new order
for the purpose of fighting the K. OF L., or
to crafty his personal ambition, but to
establish honesty in and place the labor
movement on q decentralized basis, which
viii make it forever almost impossible for
cliaues and rings to be formed to destroy
in a few months the labor OF years.
The organization, it is stated, will be es-
tablished on decentralized basis. It will
leave to
TRADES OR CENTRAL BRANCHES
complete jurisdiction and control over
their own affairs. II disputes or contro-
versies arise between the members and
their employers, they will be settled by
those most conveYsant with the trouble.
and not by those who know nothing about
the cause OF the complaint.
The order will maintain friendly rela-
Al
labor. but it will draw the line closely on
scabs and scabism.
1t will urge the study of cooperation and
the means OF bringing it into practice, and
will insist upon members giving fair manu-
facturers a preference when purchasing the
necessaries OF life.
THE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES
of the Brotherhood will be land, currency
and transportation reform. First, the
right OF men to the use OF the earth Sec
ond, the denouncing ofusuers and Shylocks
and the right to control our currency;
third, the government ownership of the
means OF transpo, ting persons, freight and
intelligence and the taking of those engines
of human happiness out OF the hands of
stock gamblers and speculators and oper-
and consumer.
While seeking settlement OF those ques.
tions the order will labor for ameliorative
terms, such as the reduction OF the hours
of labor to eight per day, the prohibition
of child labor, abolition OF convict labor,
abolition of the contract system on ma
tional, state and municipal works, prohibi-
tion OF forei.n laborers under contract; the
perfection OF politics through the Austria
liam system OF voting.
FEDERATION OF LABOR.
All the details OF the plan OF organiza-
tion has not yet been decided upon, but it
will be more OF fe ieration than o COM
pact, national body like the Knights OF
Labor. There will be no money for the
general officers. for Barry claims that the
accum ulation of large sums of money at a
central point, as in the old order, is one
OF the greatest dangers to labor organiza-
tit.nS.

They Protest Against an Attempt to In

The scheme Jf certain business houses in
this city to embarrass us met with igno-
ninious failure yesterday i'll the prompt
and fuii payment OF au account not yet all
due. Our friends and patrons will not look
for or expect a detailed or even partial
explanation OF matters that pertain
strictly to business. Suffice it TO say that
we are still at our old stand on Upper
Main street ready and willing to wait
on customers be they old or new.
The uncalled-for action OF the bust
ness houses in question remains a
mystery, but it is supposed that
in some shape or other jealousy OF compet-
itors at the close competition OF oppo-
nents in business on account Of the low
prices we had esta blished had something to
do with suggesting he action referred to.
We will, however, continue to treat the
public on the same terms as formerly.
