CHICAGO, April 24.-It was originally
the intention OF the American Federation
of Labor that the carpenters only at
present make a demand for the eight
hour day, but developments today and
yesterday show that other trades are not
likely to conform to the Instructions OF
President Gompers. Nearly every prom
inent trade of this city has, through its
union, declared its Intention to also de-
mand eight hours a day on May /.
Gompers desired tho other trades to hold
off and contribute financially to the car
penters' assistance until the latter had
gained their point, and then tie other
trades to come in turn by turn, but
President Gompers' circular letter has
been entirely disrcgarded. and in adj
ton to the carpenters the stock yards and
packing house 6mI lOyes, gas filters, iron
moulders, stair builders, mill carpenters
and harness makers have already de-
clared their intention TO fight, and their
example is likely to be followed by the
~tailors, shocmakers. plasterers, fathers,
cornice makers and other trades.
"A conference of strikers and bosses not
members OF the Master Carpenters Asso-
citation tonight agreed upon a plan Of ac-
ton. The bosses showed they could pro-
vide work for 1000 iourneymeu. 1t was
agreed that a committee from the bosses
and the strikers would call on the old
Masters Association before Saturday and
see what they will do. 1t is understood
that in any event the strike will be de
clared off Saturday as regards the new

BAYOU SARA. La, April "a The
real condition OF things in the overlooked
district is Just coming to light. No pen
is equal to the task of picturing the devas
tation Of the country or the desolation Of
the people. The entire front of Pointe
Coupee is under water and most OF the
levees are gone. The water back of the
levees is so deep that hundreds OF lives
are in jeopardy. The small stretches of
levee still standing are crowded with men,
women and children, side by side with
horses. mules and cows. In an old raised
gin house 500 negroes were found huddled
together. The condition of the u%nfortu-
nate blacks is pitiable- They piteously
begged to be taken to some place ofsafety.'
The crevasse at Allendale will overflow
thirty of the finest plantations on the
river. 1t Will reach Teche county several
days in advance of the MorQansea water
and Col. Rivers says when this water joins
with the Morgansea it will flood the entire
Atchafalaya, LaFourche and Teche coun-
ties. The damage is i~ncalculable, and the
distress in the oveIfiowed district can not
be told. A Texas & Pacific boat sue
ceeded yesterday in saving 200 people
from the back country around Morgansea.
LATER. Ruin and desolation meet the
eye on every side in Point Coupee parish.
The destruction is complete. Not a plan
tation is left above water; not a levee I'M
broken, while hundreds of families are
homeless. Thousands of stock have been
drowned. and from the meaRre reports re-
ceived from the interior it is quite prob
able human life has been sacrificed to the
flood Standing on the deck of the relief
steame Dacotah last evening, the full ex-
tent of the disaster could be seen.
Grouped together on little knobs between
broken %levees, through which the water
rushed with ungovernable fury. were
scores Of people. both white and black.
some with babies in thsir arms, while
others had dogs secured by cords. Many
of them had nothing else 10 the world TX

like this the stage was swung out and the

WASHINGTON, April "a THE fe leral
election bill reported by Senator Hoar
today provides that the chief supervisors
of elections shall be charged in their re
spective judicial districts with the super
vision of congressional elections, with the

with the prevention of fraud and irregu-
~larities in naturalization. Whenever 10
any city having 20, 900 inhabitants or

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Among the
bills reported from committees and placed
on the calendar were senate bills to
ratify certain agreements with the Occur
d. Alene Indians, Idaho territory, and to
provide for compulsory education for
Indian children; house bill to prevent de.
s%ertions from the army; house pension
appropriation bill. The senate bill ap
propriating $780, 900 for an equestrian
statue at Manchester, n. H, of Mai.
Gen. John Stark was passed. The house
bill TO transfer the revenue cutter service
from the treasury department to the navy
department was again taken up. The
amendments reported from the committee
on naval affairs were agreed to. Pending
consideration of the revenue cutter bill.
the committee on privileges and elections
reported las an original measurc) the bill
to amend and supplement the election
laws of the UHited States and provide for
a more efficient enforcement of such laws.
Placed on the calendar.
Pugh said every Democratic member
of the committee was opposed to a favor,
able report on this bill which. he said,
supplies Republican supervisors to over
sCG eldte OllCtTFs lntTtDN insulting anu
degrading these state officers. 1t is sub
Versive OF the fundamental principles of
local self government. If the bill be
comes a law its execution will insure the
shedding of blood and the destruction Of
the peace and good order of the country.
Hoar replied that the bill is in sub
stance a modification and perfection of a
system which has been a law of the
United States for many years and which
has secured in the main honest elections
and honest counts in the city of New
York, where before 60, 900 fraudulent
naturalization papers had gone out from
two judges within three days before an
election. The bill is but the assertion of
the constitutional power expressly stated
that the United States may regulate the
manner of electing members TO its own
congress or alter the regulations IN a
state.
The consideration Of the revenue cut
ter bill was resumed and Sherman op.
posed it.
The land forfeiture bill was then taken
up as unfinished business and the amend
ments reported from the committee on
public lands agreed to.
Berry moved to amend the first section
of the bill by striking out the word
now and inserting the words within
the time specified in the act of congress
making the grants. The effect of the
amendment, be said, would be not only
to forfeit the portions of land opposite
the lines not now constructed, but would
forfeit all lands granted railroad compa
MES where the lines had not been COM
pleted within the time fixed IN the act
and In subsequent extension OF it.
After some debate the amendment was
rejected. the Republicans voting in the
negative. Some other amendments were
considered and LAID on the table and the
senate then adjourned.
