CHICAGO, IL, April 26-The proposed
conferences today of the master carpenters
with the citizens committee, the new EN-
ployers' association and the journeymen,
did not result as anticipated in a settle
ment of the strike. The citizens commit
tee did not put in an appearance but pub
lished card explaining that they did not
feel called upon to act in the absence of
encouragement from the masters union.
The master carpenters at an early
meeting had concluded unanimously to
refuse to treat with the journeymen as a
union.
1t is further decided to complain to the
mayor that the protection afforded to non
union men was utterly inadequate and
that unless more active measures were
employed an appeal to Governor Fifer
would follow. A statement to the public
was then drawn up that the master car
penters, while not abridging the
rights of any member of making any
agreements he pleased, would not
as an association be party to any agree
ment that would deprive any employer or
employe from the right to make his bread
whether or not he belonged to their
union"

of different organizations resulted in moth
ing and every one tonight has no hesitancy
in proclaiming that the fight was on now

DERELIOT MEMBERS,
The Speaker Counts a Quorum After Hours
of Roll-Oall.

WASHINGTON, April 26-Mr. Allen, of
Mississippi, rising TO question of per
oual privilege, read an extract from a
Philadelphia newspaper criticising his re-
ference to Mr.. Quay and denOuncing it as
indecent. He had had no intention to
commence an attack upon Mr.. Quay, but
when Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, made the
reference he did 10 southern treasurers he
(Allen) in the heat of debate could not re-
frain from hitting Mr.. Quay's head, it
was exposed SO plainly.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the legislative appropriation
bill.
Mr.. SayerS, of Texas. raised a point of
order against the clause providing for the
appointment by the secretary of the in
terror of nine members of q board OF pen
sion appeals at 5000 year each.
After a short discussion the chair sus-
tained the point of order.
ON motion of Mr.. Clements. of Georgia,
an amendment was adopted requiring the
heads of departments to report to congress
the number of persons in their depart
mentS who are inefficient.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the house.
On ordering the previous question no
quorum voted, and this point was raised
by Mr.. Bynum. of Indiana. A count
failing to develop a quorum, a call
members responded to their names. The
dreary scenes attending a call of the house
were then enacted, while the sergeant-at-
arms was engaged in the task of hunting
up absentees. After five hours consumed
in this weary manner further proceedings
under the call were dispensed with and the
question REQUIRED on ordering the previous
question. The vote stood 136 10 10 and Mr.
Bynum raised the point that there was no
quorum present

CATTLE TARIFF REDUCED TO OMAHA.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 26-The Burlington
road announces that going into effect i'm
mediately it viii apply the Kansas City
cattle tariff to Omaha In other words
735 mileage per car viii be taken off ship
ments and returned to the shipper. All
other Missouri river lines have met the
Burlington's reduction. There is no posi-
bilty OF stopping the reduction short of
St. Paul, and tariffs via all gateways will
be reduced as soon as they can be gotten
out. The reduction is the most serious
that has occurred in months. If its effect
should be localized, as was the reduction
at Kansas City, the consequence would
not be serious, but the Omaha reduction
means decrease in revenue of 1875 a car
on on: all cattle shipped east from west OF the
Missouri, nominally the gateway beyond.

THE LIMITS OF PATIENCE.
Disregard Of the Law in Florida VIII No
Longer be Tolerated.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The following
was made public today:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 26, 1890.
To the Attorney General:
! have had frequent occasions during the
last six months to confer with you in refer
ence to the Instructions offered in the
counties of Leon, Gadsden, Madison and
Jefferson in the state of Florida to the
execution of the process of the courts of
the United States. 1t is not necessary to
say more of the situation than that the Of
ficers Of the United States are not suf-
fered freely to exercise their law
full functions. This condition of
things can not be longer tolerated.
You will therefore instruct United States
Marshal Weeks as soon as he has qualified
to proceed at once to execute such writs of
arrest as may be placed in his hands. If
he apprehends resistance he will employ
such civil posse as may seem adequate to
discourage resistance or to overcome 1t.
He should proceed with the calmneSs and
moderation which should always attend a
public officer in the execution Of his duty
and at the same time with a firmness and
courage that viii impress the lawless with
a wholesome sense of the danger and futil-
ity of resistance. You Will as
sure the officers of the law
and those who have foOlishly
and wickedly thought to set the law at de-
fiance that every resource lodged with the
executive by the constitution and the laws
will, as the necessity arises, be employed
to make it safe and feasible to hold a
federal commission and to execute the
duties it imposes. Very respectfully,
ISignedl BENJAMIN HARRISON.
In accordance with the presidents in
structions Attorney General Miller today

States marshal for the district of Florida,
