of Socialism.

Grafton of Labor, at this mornings ses-
sion. refused to take action on the
communication from the plush workers

question of the tariff under the Nc

senators by popular vote; for compul-
sorry education; to petition Congress 70

ing by direct legislation of a legal g.
hour day; sanitary inspection OF work
shops mines and homes; liability OF
employers for physical disability; aboli-
ton of contract labor in all public
work: abolition of the sweating syS-
tenn; municipal ownership Of street
cars. electric and gas plants; nation
alization of telegraphs, telephones, rail-
ways and mines; collective ownership
by the people of all means of produc-
ton and distribution; referendum in
all legislation
The presentation Of the platform
caused a very lively discussion. some
of the delegates considering it too
nearly sOcialistic or anaTchiStic.
At the afternoon session, a resolu-
ton was adopted favoring q. series OF
national and international labor con-
crosses TO eliminate in an interna-
tional demonstration of labor crgani-
cations in all countries.

BRITISH AFFAIRS.

ReiclIstag.
Nothing Like 1t Has Been Heard
Since the Days of Bismarck
Gladstone as a Bfmetallist-The
London Times Pours Hot Shot
Into the Camp of the Provisional
Government at Hawaff-Forefgn
Crimes and Criminals.

London, Dec. 14.-There was quite
an exciting sitting of the House of
Commons today arising out of the
announcement made by Gladstone that.
owing to the present state of business
the government proposed to adjourn
on Friday, December o. and meet
again the following Wednesday.
Sir John Darlington, conservative,
moved to adjourn in order to call
attention to the backward state of
public business.
The opposition intended this motion
as an indication of the alleged general
incapacity of the government in con-
Quoting business. and expressed the in
tention of pressing the motion to a
division.
Sir Richard Paget, conservative. sec
onding Dorrington's motion. was loudly
cheered, especially when he declared
the present condition of things in public
affairs was becoming positively intol-
cradle.
These attacks finally brought Glad
stone to his feet, and he replied
warmly to the onslaught of the OPP
position, and amid frequent interrupt
tons declared the house must meet
again as he had indicated, or the
parish councils bill must be abandoned.
Balfour. conservative leader, ac-
cused the government of trying to
trample upon the opposition who, Bal
four said. were little below govern
ment supporters in number.
After a heated debate, during which
Gladstone was greeted with groans
from the opposition and cheers from
his supporters cloture was moved and
the motion to adjourn was rejected
165 to 115.
The announcement of the vote called
forth loud cheers from the govern
ment supporters.

Prendergast Insane.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Among the wit
nesses in the Prendergast trial were
Edward Stone. a reporter, Police Scar
geant Barber and Miss Sophia Harri-
son. daughter of the murdered mayor
The story as developed by their testi-
mony did not differ materially from
that already published.
Miss Harrison was greatly agitated
while giving her testimony. She
seemed almost on the point of fainting
at times.
Prendergast was nervous and i'll at
ease.
The case of the prosecution closed
with the introduction of the bullets
found in the body of Mayor Harrison.
The defense opened with the testi-
mony of Mrs. Prendergast, mother of
the defendant, whose evidence was en-
tfrely devoted to proof of insanity. Her
son had had a bad fall when child,
striking his head and injuring his eye
sight. During her cross discrimination
by Attorney Trude, the prisoner lost
his temper and exclaimed: "Trude,
you are a scoundrel to talk to my
mother that way

EXCITEMENT IN THE REIcHsTAG.
The Spanish Treaty of Commerce on
Its second Reading.


Berlin, Dec. 14.-There was much ex-
element in the Reichstag when the
Spanish treaty of commerce was in
PRODUCED for second reading
Manteuffel attacked the general and
commercial policy of the government
whose treatment OF the agricultural
classes encouraged agrarian agitation.
Won Caprivi made vigorous reply,
and said the true Russian treaty would
be made at the expense of husbandry
inasmuch as the grain producing state
must receive concessions through it.
The chancellor added he only opposed
the method of agitation. .resorted to by
the farmers alliance, and asserted that
it was not conservative to appeal to
majorities against the authority of the
government. The latter must seek
support from large portions of the
population and not from any individual
party, and would take support where
ever it could find it. The remark of
Caprivi to the effect that the deputies
should not be Influenced by the masses
caused a decided sensation. Abiding
to the currency. the chancellor said
it was impossible to take any step in
that direction unless England joined
in it.
Both the Spanish and the Servian
treaties passed their second readings
by large majorities.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE House was
deadlocked for TWO hours today by the
refusal of the Republicans to vote on
a motion to go into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the Ari-
zona statehood bill.
The Democratic leaders decided this
morning to proceed with the consider
alton d the Arizona and New Mexico
bills and dispose Of them before the
holidays.
The Republicans do not relish the
idea Of bringing these Democratic ter
ritOrieS into the union and at the re-
quest Of their leaders refrained from
voting. save those from the newly-ad-
nitted states of Washington, Wyom-
ing, Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas.
The Democrats expect to have their
own quorum present tomorrow.
The McGarrahan bill was called up
during the morning hour, but was FL
clustered against by Savers, of Texas,

occupants Of lands a preferential
claim in case title under the act of

There was some deoate by Hermann,
of Oregon, and Mr.. Van Voorhees,, of
New York The latter intimated that
some private interest must exist in the
bill; that K sought to deprive one
class of claimants for the benefit of
another. He declared it would be an

Hermann stated the old claimants

Washington, Dec. 14-[SpeciaI.] 1.-The
silver bill introduced in the Senate to-
day by VOORHEES, is believed to have
the support of the administration, but
the drift of opinion is that when the
question comes up, if the purpose
really is to legislate, amendments will
be added in both branches of Congress
looking to a much larger coinage. Sill
yer men in the House are preparing

VOORHEES,, BILL.
1t Does Not Appear to Find Favor
with Anybody.

Washington. Dec. 14-Senator voor-
hees has introduced his long promised
financial bill. 1t provides for the
coinage of the silver seignorage. for
the purchase and coinage of 1000, 900
worth of silver month after the coin
agee Of the seignorage; for the retire
nent of paper currency of less denem-
ination of SO; for the retirement of
ali gold coins Of less denomination
than $40; and for the appointment of
an international commission.
The bill is not received with any
great degree of favor by either the sill
yer advocates or the opponents.
In regard to the inference in some
quarters that the administration IA
vored the BILL Voorhees, today said:
My bill is not the result of one word
Of consultation, and 1 C, tainly do not
claim to represent the administration
in introducing it. I do desire, how
ever, to help the treasury out of its

A big Meeting Held in Cooper Union
Last Night.

New York. Dec. 14.-There was
scarcely standing room in the Cooper
Union tonight at the anti-Tammany
meeting
Thomas Van Buren,. grand nephew
of ex-President Van Buren,, was chosen
chairman.
The resolutions adopted cited the
misgovernment by the rulers of Tam
many hail. contrasted the rapid and
colossal growth of wealth among the
leaders with the present depression in
business, and said it aroused feelings
of suspicion and distrust which en-
forces the propriety Of rigid investiga-
ton at the hands of the next legisla-
ture. Further, it was the first duty of
honest citizens to relieve the city from
such rulers, regardless of either state
or national politics.

CAPRIvrs SPEECH.
One of the Most Pointed Since the
Days of Bismarck.

London, Dec. 14.-The correspondent
of the Post, Berlin, says: Caprivi's
speech in the reichstag, made when he
was fresh from an audience with the
emperor, was evidently in the highest
spirits and treated the reichstag to a
speech of such point and nerve as has
not been heard by that body since
Bismarck retired to private life.
In reference to the currency ques-
ton, the chancellor denied the buying
power of gold had risen high enough
to injure German husbandry The
Prussian minister of commerce was to
make inquiries on the subject extend
ing into the interior of Australia and
Africa, and the result Of his inquiry
must be awaited. The head of the
English government Gladstone, had
most pointedly expressed his antago-
nism to bimetallism, and, therefore, a
change in the attitude of England
could not be hoped for. If he himself,
continued the chancellor, were a ia
natical bimetallist, he would not, I'M
der the present circumstances, move
a single step in that direction.
