Federation of Labor.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.-At this morn
ings session of the Federation of Labor
a proposition for the federation to take
action toward assisting in Worlds
Fair congress was overwhelmingly de
feated. A resolution was proposed that
stirred up q lively debate. 1t related to
the action of the president and executive
council requesting conference with the
Knights of Labor unions. The many at
tacks of the Knights of Labor against
the trades union especially on the coal
miners and shoemakers, were deplored.
1t was said that all efforts to help heal
the breach while they were on the at
tack and the federation on the defensive
would only be waste of time. The
committee recommended "that the high.
est duty of the federation was to defend
the unions selected by the Knights of
Labor for attacks and that the executive
committee take such action as will en-
force these ideas" The recommends
ton of the committee was finally adopted.
The special committee OF nine or
militia in strikes then reported measures
favoring the support of labor represents
ton in the administrative, executive De
partments Of the national and state gov
ernnents and advising members of the
federation to see that the friends of labol
command the militia rather than th'
friends of capital, were adopted.

Interview with Archbishop IRELAND.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Dec 16.-A rch-
bishop Ireland, in an Interview 10 day
as to the contradictory reports c'rcu
lated regarding Mgr. Satolli, said the
report that the latter had been recalled
was absurd. He said they bad been cir
culated by those who suffer d>ffst by
his presence and would be delighted 70
create public opinion adverse to his in
huence. The archbishop said those who
were sincere in regald to the school ques-
tion should now be satisfied after h arlr 6
the Pope's views through Mgr. Satoii on
such burning question. Archbishop
Ireland ADDED that Mgr, Sato h's az
dress at the conference of archblS hops
in New York had received the Pope's
approval and that the controversy was
finally settled. He said Mgr. Satolli had
also received ample power to settle all
disputes between the bishops and priests.
He is to have two assistants from emil
nent clergy and his decision will
be final. The archbishop was of the
opinion that Mgr oatolll would finally
become the regular delegate apostolic Il
power Concluding, he eui"glzao
the plan set forth by Mgr Satoli io'
the settlement Of the school question anc
denied that there was any contradiction
between the officers Of the New 4orl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The agents of
the principal Trans Atlantic steam liners
appeared before the joint congressional
committee on immigration to day in op-
position to the plan of Senator Chandler
to suspend immigration. Gustav b.
Schwab, representing the various steam
ship companies made a general statement
III which he suggested that the ex
animation of emigrants should be
left to the European agents of the
steamship companies, these agents being
placed under heavy bonds. Senator Hill
asked him how the United States could
enforce these penalties on this side of the
Atlantic when they were operative on the
other side. United States could have
no jurisdiction over European agents.
To this Mr.. Schwab responded that the
companies would acknowledge every re-
sponsibility. They would, he said in
response to question from Senator PEI
fer, be glad to have the assistance of the
United States in looking into migration
in the other side.

At Louisville full average, and at
Little Rock improving, because Of the
rise in cotton Business at Memphis is
dull, but very good in holiday lines at
Nashville, and at New Orleans fair with
money in good demand, and genera
trade is helped by the movement IL

does not for the present cause special
stringency in the money market, because
currency is coming this way from the in

considerable outgo at this season mus,
affect prices of products, and wheat ii
nearly a cent lower than week ago
tho Ugh corn is but cent higher and oat,
substantially unchanged. In the cottor
market extraordinary speculation con
