PITTsBuRd, Pa, Aug. 12.-serious
rioting was indulged in on Saturday BY
Hungarian workmen in the ConnellsyIlle
coke region, who do not appear to UNDER
stand that the strike has been settled. At
the Meyer coke plant A. c. Duncan was
terribly beaten and left for dead, and the
sheriff and his posse, Who went to arrest
the Offenders, fought pitched battle
with the rioters, four of them being ar
rested. Further rioting at the Hecla
Works is also feared, two of the men who
were assaulted there on Saturday being
reported in precarious condition. The
deputies on the ground are armed with
repeating rifles.

The Action Of the Federation
Of Labor Unanimously
Endorsed,
In Making Selection Of Trades
to Push the Short-Houp
Movement.
Review Of the Past Week In
Labor Circles Of the Twin
Cities.
Dual City Comment on Hap
penings Among Those
Who Toll.

At the meeting of the state eight
hour league held yesterday at 70
East Seventh street, there were
present 237 delegates from Duluth,
Minneapolis and st. Paul, representing
trades unions of the cities named, and
representatives of the Knights of Labor.
The recommendations of the Fedora
ton of Labor, now i'm session, were read.
These are, advocating the selection of
one or mole trades to inau gurate the
eight-hOur movement, and that the
strength of all the organizations be con-
centrated on gaining accessI on to the
demand TO be made by these selected
trades in the way of support
ing them if a strike becomes
necessary, and forcing the sue
cess of the movement so far as they are
concerned. After these have secured
the desired end it is proposed to select
other trades in twOs and threes, Oper-
ating in the same manner as above.
Delegates Ward, O'Gara, Martin,
cusSed the feasibility of adopting the
plan proposed by the federation. There
was little room for argument, as the
sentiment of the meeting seemed to be
universally in favor of the adoption
ton of the plan as submitted,
and the meeting proceeded to
unanimously indorse the federation.
A motion was made and laid on the
table providing for the assessment of
each member at the rate of % cents per
week. the money to go toward the for
nation of a resistance fund. 1t was de-
cided to eXpend all the available funds
of the league i'm the dissemination of
eight-huur literature throughout the
state. 1t was decided that the next
meeting should he held on Jan. II at

II 1dHeS race at the PdlaZZO
RezzOnico, Venice.
VENICE, Dec. 15.-The expressions of
grief and sympathy called forth by the
death of Robert Browning, recall the
similar expressions on the death of
Wagner. Browning refused to the last
to believe that he was seriously ill.
Every day. whatever the weather, he
went IN an open gondola to Lido. He
Was taken ill Nov. q, but he insisted
on going to the theater. against che ad-
vice of friends. During the night he
was seized with a serious attack of
bronchitis. The disease dragged
affected, but he constantly
repeated that he was getting better. On
Thursday last, the day of his death, he
declared that he would get up on the
following day. His family did not sup
pose that the end was so near. At Z in
the evening he became very weak and
mad great difficulty in breathing.
Shortly before he died, he turned to his
son and asked for news from his pub
Usher. The son read telegram saying
that the edition of his last volume of
poems was almost exhausted. The poet.
upon hearing this, smiled and muir
INJURED How gratifying" These were
his last words. The funeral service
was held to-day in the Palazzo Rezzon-
leo. The family desired to inter
the remains at Florence, but, in
accordance with the desire of
English people, the body will be taken
to London OH Tuesday for interment in
Westminster abbey. At the service to-
day the coffin was covered with beauti-
ful wreaths, one of which had been sent
by the municipal authorities at Venice.
Many diplomats and officials. and a
large number of English and American
residents, including Mrs. Bronson, All
intimate friend of the poet, were pres
ent at the service. The cortege started
at O'clock. The body had been placed
on splendid funeral barge, which was
lowed by steamer of the royal navy.
On the barge, as guard of honor, were
members of the municipal guard and
firemen. The family and init
mate friends followed i'm sepa-
rate gondolas. The coffin was
deposited in the Central chapel
of the cemetery of st. Michael, where it
will remain until the conclusion OF the
formalities attending its transportation
to London. Prime Minister Crispi sent
a message of coincidence to the family
of the poet. A memorial tublet will be

Friday, Dec. 20, Is the Day
Set for Beginning the
Holiday Loaf.
It Is Expected Speaker Reed
Will Name His Commit
tees This Week.
A Great Deal OF Speculation
as to the Modification OF
the Rules.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-C0ngress this
week will provide for taking its usual
Christmas vacation. aud will adjourn,
doubtless, from next Friday. Dec. 20,
until Monday. the 9th Of January. Aside
from action upon this subject, the CON-
pletiOn of committee organization. the
further introduction of bills. and the
confirmation of numerous appointments
there will probably be little to chronicle
IN the senate. Some means of permit
ting the immediate introduction of
bills In the house of representatives
will probably be sanctioned early this
week, and a prodigiOus number of
new and old measures now fill
the pigeon holes of the $50
members awaiting the opportunity.
When the call once begins. not less
than two legislative days will be re-
quired to complete. The committee on
appropriations intend to report, and
will doubtless promptly pass through
the house an urgent deficiency bill pro-
viding for the wants Of the printing
office and the census bureau. The Sill
colt committee is still wrestling with
the legal questions upon which it has to
pass Judgment. and its report, no matter
what the conclusions may be, will I'M
dOubtedly give rise to a lively discus
sion when it is presented this week to
the house. Speaker Reed is not
prepared to say whether his
list of committees can be COM
pleted in tune for presentation
to the house during the week. but it Is
the general expectation that he will

adopted without airy difficulty. but
should radical changes be attempted
with reference to dilatory motions.
protracted and spirited debate will
ensue, and very possibly no action will
be taken until the new year.
