New ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-Ths morning

George Howard. vics-president OF the
American Railway union, who pre-
sented petitions for the consolidation Of
all the labor organizations Of the coun-
try into one vast body, under single
board OF management and with an
amalgamation OF interests. He be-
lieved, II such plan were adopted.
labor would be in position to more
completely have its wrongs redresse d
and more speedily obtain its rights.
General Master Workman Sovereign
delivered his annual address, which
was an exhaustive and elaborate resume
of the work Of the order from it's incipi-
ency. He attributes the decrease in
membership of the order to the depres.
sion in business circles, prevalent bank
ruptcy, low wages, and forced idlenese

His resume of the Pullman strike
terminated in a severe criticism of
Major General Schofield and the recom-
mendations of that officer for an in
crease in the army. together with the
action of Chicaeo's millionaire aris-
tocrsoy, who were permitted to present
q standard of colors to the Fifteenth in
fantry, as an indication of uneasy de-
sire to subjugate labor through the
military power of the nation"
He urged that the assembly take
strong grounds against an increase of
the military force OF the nation, and
that they advocate decrease in the
regular army and the abolition of state
militia. for from them are coming to
the surface the sentiments of military
despotism.

TOM YUM's CITIZENHHIP.
Collector Wise Had No Power to Pass

Collector Wise Had No Power to Pass
Upon 1t.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-United
States District Judge Morrow rendered
an important decision today, defining
the powers of collectors of customs as
judges OF the rights OF Chinese seeking
admission to this country. The local
collector of customs insisted that the
law gave him exclusive authority to pass
Judgment in the cases of all Chinese
seeking admission. In the case of Tom
Yum, passenger on the steamer Gaelic,
who claimed to be native born citizen
of California, and as euch claimed the
right to land, Collector Wise held an in.
vestigation and decided that the China
mans claims to citizenship were fraud-
ulent. He therefore refused to allow
Tom Yum to land. Habeas corpus was
resorted to by tho Chinese. Judge
Morrow holds that the jurisdiction of
collectors of customs is limited to the
cases OF aliens, and that in cases of
American citizens or persons claiming
citizenship. the collector is without
authority to finally or oonclusively pass
upon their right to come into this coun-
try. The case OF Tom Yum was accord
ingly referred to a United States COM
missioner to take evidence and pass
upon the Chinamsn's claims to citizen.
