SUGAR PLANTERS.
A Meeting to be Held to Look After
Their Interests.

New ORLEANS, Dee. 10.-The sugar
planters of this state held their regular
meeting here. This meeting had been
looked forward to with considerable in
terest, owing TO the question raised as ID
the bounty in view of the success Of the
Democratic party ticket and the posi-
bility of action in the premises by con-
gress. After an executive session,
wherein few members ventilated their
personal views, the following resolution,
proposed by Mr.. Henry Mccall, Of
Ascension, was adopted,
Whereas, there has been recently
much comment in the public prints con-
cerning the attitude of the sugar plant
ers of Louisiana towards the existing
bounty law involving serious error, If
not misrepresentation and whereas, no
expression of the views of the sugar
planters of Louisiana have been made;
therefore. be it
Resolved, That meeting of the Sugar
Planters Association of Louisiana be
called by the president whenever neces-
sary to consider the present status of the
laws controlling sugar production.
No date was set for the meeting, which
will in all probability be held shortly.
A prominent member said: ''As Demo-
Gratis we cannot ask for Il tariff to pro-
tect the industry, but will, think, ask
for small duty on sugar, under the
guise Of a tariff for revenue. l think
that is the best way out of it. We can
not get the duty that was taken off put
back, and it looks as though we will
lose the bounty. am afraid the break
will be made at this session" .-

THE FARIBAULT SYSTEM,
Mgr. Satolh Expresses The visws of
the Vatican.

WASHINGTON, Dec. TO- The attention Of
Mgr Satolli was yesterday called, at the
university in this city, to the Milwaukee
despatch, protesting to give the views of
Archbishop Katzer upon the Fairbault
school system, and Mgr Satolli's practi-
cal endorsement of that plan, Speaking
through Dr.. OGoraan, the papal able
gate, said he did not desire to enter into
any controversy. The episcopacy Of
the United States had been officially in
formed of the legatine with which he
was invested. Secondly. he had brought
and had laid before the archbishops at
their meeting in New York the pope's
views ON the school subject. These
views had been verbally given, but We're
embodied in the pamphlet that had been
made public.
The holy father earnestly desired that
the work Of the church should be car
ried on in harmony with the govern
ment in all matters where cardinal doc
trines of religious belief We're not di-
rectly involved. Where there were no
parochial schools it was his wish that
the children Of Catholic parents should
attend the public SCHOOLS and receive
their religious teaching ut home. Where
there We're parochial schools the church
preferred that the children should at
tend them, though no compulsion was
sought to be exercised.
Mgr. Satolli further desired to correct
misstatement that had been sent ont
that his instructions and powers had
been verbally conveyed. They were in
writing, and had been attested by the
cardinal (Gibbons) and laid before the
archbishops in New York. On the school
question alone the popes views had been
verbally expressed, and those views had
been accurately repeated by Mgr. Satolli.

MAYS LANDING, N. j., Dec. 10.-The
strike among the Hebrew settlers at the
Baron Hirsh settlement, at Woodbine,
is a source of much wolrimsnt and
trouble to the leaders of Baron Hirsh's
business affairs in this country. The
settlement is model one in every re-
speet and cost thousands of dollars, and
is far ahead of the numerous other
Hebrew settlements. The Central com
mittee, consisting Of some Of the most
prominent Hebrews in New York and
Philadelphia were TO have visited the
settlement today, which was to have
been grand occasion, il being the ami
versary Of the settlement. Trouble has
been brewing for some time between the
managers of the factories at Woodbine
and the settlers. Some weeks ago an
attempt was mado to have the foreman
discharged. Many have hopes that the
committee will fully settle the difficulty
today.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10-ln connection with
the Rock Island strike the most import
ant development yesterday was the con-
ference held at the Sherman House
between Chief Ramsey, of the Order of
Telegraphels, and Chief Wilkinson, of
the Traiumen, and Chief Clark. of the
Order Of Railway Conductors. A repre-
sentative of the engineers was also
present. The conference was secret, and
that some serious step was considered IL
evidenced by the persistent refusal of the
gentlemen who were present to reveal
anything as to its nature or conclusion.
Que Of the officials of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers, however, ac-
lSnowledged that it was called together
for the purpose Of considering whether
or not strike of the switchmen, fire
men, engineers and conductors was ad-
visable. Thosesin the best position to be
judges Of affairs declare that if the
strike continues it will be buatques-
tionof time till strike samong the
other trninmen follows. This possibil-
ity of the other railroad employees
walking ont is practically the only
change in the condition of affairs so far.
The following bulletin was issued by
the Telegraphers committee at late
hour last night: 1--WE are in better shape
tonight than at any time since the
strike began. Freight traffic demoral-
lied. Men in train service will refuse
to work with scabs il majority of you
remain loyal"

THE STATE OF TRADE.
No Monetary Disturbance from
the Exports of Gold. .
THE HOLIDAY TRADE OPENS BRISK

The Speculative Markets Are Conn
parativeIy Quiet Except for Cotton.
The Iron Trade Extremely Dull.
Money Easier on Call.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-R. G.. Dunn
& Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Business shows no decrease except that
slackening in new transactions which is
customary as the holiday season draws
near. Tho volume of payments is as
large as it over has been and industries
on the whole more fully employed than
ever at this time of the year. The APP
prehension of monetary disturbance from
export of gold has not yet been realized,
and seems somewhat more remote than
we can go. The money markets gener-
ally show a strong demand, though
money is actually close only at Cleve-
land, and apparently rather easier at
most points, while at eastern cities the
markets are easier, with slaclaening de-
mand. AT all points reporting the holi-
day trade opens more briskly than usual,
with prospects of a larger volume.
Large Wheat Receipts.
lively quiet except for cotton, in which
sales of over 2,OJ0,000 bales in a week
are again reported, and after decline
of three-eighths there has been an equal
recovery. The receipts at ports this
week are but little smaller than year
ago, and for the season % per cent.
smaller. Wheat receipts continue very
large, $500, 900 bushels in three days at
the principal western ports, while ex
| ports are Comparatively small, but the
| price is an eighth higher than week
| ago, with small transactions. In silver
bullion there has been large reaction,
| about l0d. per. ounce, and the price is
| close to the lowest ever recorded.
The Iron Trade Dull.
The iron trade is extreemly dull, with
visible weakness in finished product and
less hopeful feeling The business in
furnace appears, from partial reports, to
be a little larger than month ago. In
steel biilets excess of production appears
with no new business. Rails and bars
are very dull, and structural iron is un-
settled. But it is hoped that increase of
orders after the holidays will give the
manufacturers new start. Cattle
receipts at Chicago in November were
the largest known in that month and
Tor the year have been per cent. greater
than last year.
The cotton manufacture enjoys an ex-
traordinary demand for goods which the
rise in price does not seem to check. In
woolen goods the prospect for the COM
ing year is considered excellent Money
is easier here at Per cent. on call in
spite of expected exports of gold, and for
eign exchange is a shade lower. The
stock market has been weak at times,
particularly for some Of the industrial
list, but closes with shade higher aver
age than week ago The treasury has
taken in during the week 500, 900 in gold
and $500, ,OO1in silver, without adding 10
outstanding notes.
Business Failures.
The business failures occarring through
out the country during the past seven
days number, for the United States Ell,
Canada 26, making total of 997, as
compared with 269 last week and 209 the
week previous to the last and 320 for the
corresponding week of last year.

that life had been extinct for some time

wards set fire TO the bed and the body
was burned almost to a crisp. A brother
OF Kerner resides in Philadelphia. ker-
ner left no confession in his cell. He al
ways denied having killed his wife, and
soon after his incarceration threatened
that after his term of imprisonment ex-

that reason she was sent away and the
prisoner knew nothing of her where
abouts. Kerners son occasionally visited
