BOYCOTTS TO BE RAISED.
THE SAN FRANCISCO FEDERATED
TRADES GALL A HALT.
Something Must Be Done to Relieve the
CRISIS in the Labor Situation-They
Sue for an Armistice With the Em-
ployers-All Boycotts to Be Tempora-
rily Raised.

SAN Francisco, March 6.-The FEEDER
ated Trades meeting this afternoon was
protracted one, the present alarming
state of the labor situation being fully
debated. 1t was finally decided that it
would be well to temporarily raise the
boycotts and other hostilities carried on
by sub-associations, pending a confer
ence with the manufacturers, provided
the latter would suspend their black
lists and orders against the employ
ment of union men. The unions them
selves will have to take this action, and
then a committee can withdraw
the boycotts. The delegates, while
powerless to order this done, win advise
the particular unions of the necessity
for 10 doing, and there is but little
doubt that it will be agreed to.
Immediately afterwards the Boot and
Shoemakere' White Labor league held q
special meeting. The suggestions ad-
vanced by the Federated Trades, in re-
ference to the boycotts were discussed.
The league refused to make know
what it intended to do.
The Women's Shoe Filters union met
Immediately on the adjournment of the
league. 1t held long session and also
discussed the proposed temporary rails
ing of the boycott and strike against
Calm, Nicklesbury d Co. Like the
Shoemakers' league, the Shoe Filters
union refused to make public any OF its
proceedings.

Residence in New York.
New YoRK, March 6.-Cornelius 6. Van
derbilt will transform q part of New
York into a patch of Italian beauty such
as the environs of Rome and Naples re-
veal. The entire block of houses rum
ming from Cornelious Vanderbilt's resi-
dence at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh
street to Fifty. eighth street will be torn
down, including his present house. In
the center of the block, standing back
about sixty feet from the sidew ak on
Fifth avenue, Mr.. Vanderbilt's new
house will be erected. In the language
of the Bowery, the new house will be
a hummer" The grounds will be
filled with flowers and fountains, with
grass plots and with marble statues.
Already the first three houses adioin-
ing Mr.. Vanderbilt's home are being
prepared for demolition. On the lots
occupied by these three houses ball
room is to be erected that will outrival
anything the "4O0," the 1885," the
$780," or the great McAllister himself
has ever imagined.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has become annoyed
at the mistakes strangers make in try
ing to tell his house from those of his
neighbors, so he has resolved to build a
house that will, by the mere stunning
force of it's magnifcence, disclose where
he lives. The alterations and plans for
this artistic addition to the architec-
tural grandeurs of New York have been
placed in the hands of George B. Rest,
Mr.. Vanderbilt's architect. He is now
in Europe getting ideas for the new
palace. ..

that he had killed his favorite brother,
and requested him not to speak to him.
At Grab Orchard, some time last year

pistol and attempted to shoot
Isaac, but bystanders interferred.
Emmett then apparently settled down
to lead peaceful life, and was elected
town marshal of Mount Vernon. Isaac
had been in town q number of times,
but always avoided Emmett. The latter
q number of times hunted him tup,
threatening to kill him. Last week
Isaac was in town, Emmett met him
and began his usual abuse, when Isaac
told him to 60 away and not bother
him, saying: "You killed one of~our
brothers; don't add another to the list.
I don't want to be killed or kill anyone"
Yesterday they again met. but blood
shed was averted by the interference of
citizens. Isaac went home, armed him.

Five Men Engage in an Encounter with

EUGENE, Ore.. March GA cutting
affray, in which three persons were more
or less injured, took place last evening
on Fall Greek, about ten miles east Of
Eugene. Two brothers, named Griffin,
have been living on a claim, owned by
Walker Young. They had been en-
gagged in clearing and had engaged one
Of the McBee boys to do some slashing.
McBee was to work by the month.
After working three days, McBee gave
up the job and claimed pay
for it. This was refused by the
Griffin boys, they holding that
he should work the month out or receive
no pay whatever. This angered McBee,
and, with two of his brothers, he met
the Griffin brothers last evening. Some
lively words passed between them and
they finally drew knives, all five being
engaged. Squire Kane was called, and
started for the sheriff and doctor. He
states that at least three were badly

WASHINGTON, March 6.--Silver and
tariff will be the leading features in the
congressional procedure this week.
The contest over the free silver question
will begin in the house tomorrow, when
the anti silver Democrats will oppose
the adoption of the report Of the rules
committee making the Bland bill a
special order for specified period. The
opponents OF free coinage on the Demo.
cratic side have vigorously but vainly
urged the Mepublican minority to join
them in opposition to the consider,
alton of the bill, and it is now
conceded that the special order
will almost certainly be adopted.
The anti-free coinage men say this is but
the beginning of the fight, and they
will use every possible means to defeat
the passage OF the bill itself.
The leaders OF the house are anxious
to secure speedy action on the appropri-
alton bills, ana will have all these meas
ures now pending passed before the dis
cussion OF the tariff is entered upon.
For this reason Monday will not be de-
voted exclusively to the silver order. 1t
is the present purpose to devote the
greater part OF the day to the pension
appropriation bill and the army appro-
priatlon bill, in order to clear the decks
for the tariff debate.
McMillin of Tennessee will open the
tariff discussion on Tuesday, if no devia-
tion is made from the programme on &C.
count of the army appropriation bill.
Other speakers will follow in rapid sue
cession, and the whole week will be oc-
cupied with tariff debates, except Sat-
urday afternoon, which will be devoted
to eulogies on the late Representative
Gamble of South Dakota.
In the senate the pure food bill is the
pending order. Mr.. Call has given no.
tice Of his intention to address the SEN
ate tomorrow on the subject of railroad
interference in the Florida elections,
and Mr.. Dolph wishes to deliver q
speech Friday on Senator Stanford's q
bill to provide circulating medium.
The long-expected debate on the re-
ciprocity resolutions. which are now on
the .tahls. may begin apmes day this.
week. 1t 10 unlikely that any general
appropriation bills will come before the
senate this week.
Representative Dubonow will to-
morrow introduce in the house bill
providing for an additional appropriation
