BANK STATEMENT.

New York, Dec 14-The New York Fi- nancier says this week:
 The statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending Decem- Der IA shows an unexpected expansion of $3, 900 in loans, which much be at- tributed as much to the speculative ex- treme of the past ten days as to a legit- innate demand from mercantile sources for money. The interior movement of currency for the week netted the New York banks not less than 2,500000. This is probably counted in the statement. Against this should be placed the loss through the withdrawal of legal tenders for the gold shipments of the last part of last week and 100000 withdrawn during the current week These losses have nearly offset the gain. but the state- ment does not show it. Since then the banks report decrease of $1, 6S4, 500 in legal tenders and a gain of $123,900 in specie, making the net cash loss $1, ,560, 300. The increase in deposits amounts to $1.369, 100, and although this required higher total bank reserve, the excess re- serve as a result of the weeks opera tions decreased nearly S2, 900, ,000 The specie item is slowly increasing. but this accumulation is not at the expense of the treasury, which is actually gaining gold from the banks of the country. The only inference is that the clearing house banks are going to first sources for their specie, perhaps buying assay of receipts from the producers or bullion dealers. At New York city banks cannot be &C., cused of helping themselves at the ex- pense of the treasury. The gold holdings of the New York banks are still about $14, 900 900 less than the highest total re- ported during this year

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
It Puts Itself on Record as Having No Political Platform by Vote of 1876
 to PA.

New York, Dec. 14.-At the meeting of the Federation of Labor this morning the question of sending fraternal dele gates to the international congress of socialist workers at London next August was discussed at great length and mo- tion to lay the entire matter on the table was carried by majority of 52 to 10.
 The next thing taken up was the part of the presidents report relative to po- litical action.
 Delegate Pomeroy offered a substitute for the report, declaring that the failure of the Denver convention to adopt the twelve blanks as a political programme made 1t patent that the fedora tion has no platform wtch can be called political. After lengthy discussion the previous question was called for and re suited in vote on the substitute of 1878 for and PA against.
 Delegate Pomeroys substitute motion was therefore declared carried and the convention put itself on record as having no political platform.
 Vice-President Mcclure then moved that the twelve blanks adopted by the Denver convention be printed in the Fed erationalist under the head of "Our Leg islative Demands" This was carried
 The part of the presidents report re- lating to admission of trades unions was taken up next. Delegate Pomeroy said he would introduce a resolution in regard to the requirements for admission to the American Federation of Labor. A report from the common law favoring an amendment to the constitution pro- viding that unions not affiliating with their national unions be excluded from the central lodges was then read.
 At the afternoon session Vice-Presi- dent James Duncan proposed John Me- Bride, who at present holds the office, for president of the American Fedora ton of Labor The nomination was sec onded by Delegate J. w. Branwood, of the Typographical union. Delegate Faurchet proposed for president, Samuel Gompers. The nomination was seconded by James J. Linehan. Amid intense ex- citement the votes were counted with the following results: Samuel Gompers, 1,041; John Mcbride, 1923
 MT. Gompers was therefore elected president of the American Federation of Labor by eighteen votes.
 Peter J. Mcclure was then elected first vice-president without opposition. James Duncan was reelected second vice-presi- dent, James O'Connell was elected third vice-president and M. w. Garland fourth vice-president. John B.. Lennon of the Tailors' National union was then re- elected treasurer unanimously, and Au- gust McCraith was unanimously re- elected secretary. An adjournment was taken until Monday.

Negro Day Postponed.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 14.-Negro day at the exposition has been postponed firm Do- cember 21 to December 26, as it was found that the latter date would suit house. keepers better and would result in a more general holiday. A committee of 200 white gentlemen has lists to secure the sigma lures of all the principal housekeepers for giving their servants holiday strong committee of leading colored people will work up their race to the importance of seeing the exposition before it closes The railroad rates are so low that almost any negro can come from fifty to 100 miles to see the fair and return for the price of a days labor. It is expected that this will move thousands of the race who have not been to the exposition.

the Irish parliamentary party. Mir. Thomas Sexton would be preferred as the ablest parliamentary tactieian, as well as the greatest Irish orator in the house of commons, but unless the confer enee should give him an almost unanim- ous vote he will not be likely to accept.
 It is believed in business circles inter ested in the strikes of Belfast and Clyde and others employed in the ship build ing industry, that the employers will be compelled to surrender and grant the de- mands of the workmen An increasing number of orders from Japan and China for ships have been placed with Clyde firms. The British admiralty will not suffer any delay in the settlement of the dispute. The admiralty has warned the firms with which it had contracts that the work must at any cost be completed with in the time specified by the contracts The Workmen are fully cogniZant of the situation and have not been slow to seize their advantages. The orders from Japan have been given conditionally, and they will be placed elsewhere if the dispute shall be prolonged. The Spanish officers who were sent to the Clyde to obtain the rapid delivery of further marine engi- neerfng plant for their government threaten to withdraw their order if work is not shortly resumed on them. The Norwegian government has accepted German against Clyde tenders for two small armored ships, partly on account of the strike and partly because of the lowness of the German tenders These facts are impressing number of ship building firms with the belief that it will be prudent for them to effect a settle ment at the earliest time possible. Be- sides the orders that she has placed on the Clyde, Spain is negotiating for the charter of six vessels belonging to the French General Transatlantic company. It is intended to arm these vessels with quick firing guns for service in Cuban waters. She has bought a third-class cruiser, ordered originally by China, which Is now nearly completed at Kiel, and two old warships from the Forges ct -ChantierS of Toulone

Columbus, O., Dec. 14.-The brief and simple burial services of Allen G. Thur man were held at the family residence at Washington avenue and Rich street this morning. There were many more pres ent than could be admitted to the house, notwithstanding the private character of the funeral. A profusion of flowers covered the space about the coffin, which was placed in the archway leading from the residence the deceased had occupied to that occupied by his son, Allen w. Thurman. Among the early arrivals was Governor Mckinley, accompanied by the state officials. Ex-Governor Cambell and Hon. L, T. Neal of Chillicothe were also present. The services at the house were conducted by Rev. J. L. Grover, himself S9 years old and close friend of the de- ceased. MT. Grover officiated at the fu- neral of Mrs. Thurman three years ago and the services deeply impressed Judge Thurman, who at that time requested Rev. MT. Grover to repeat 1t at his funer- al The services consisted of the reading of the 90th Psalm, the Lords Prayer, reading of the special funeral rite, read ing from the 18th chapter of l Corinthi- ans, Now is Christ risen and become the first fruits of them that slept" followed Dy lHe DeneulctlOn.
 After all those present withdrew and left the family alone with the dead MT. Grover again offered prayer. and the family having withdrawn the residence was thrown open. and those who had not been able to gain admission were per- mitted to pass through the hall and view the remains.
 MT. Grover announced that the services would be conducted privately at the grave by Rev. E. L. Rexford of the Uni versalist church. The remains were in tered in Greenlawn cemetery by the side of his wife.
 The pall-bearers were Grandsons A. l.. Thurman Allen G. Thurman and Gwynne T. Jordan of Urbana; Nephews McEldin Dun of Bellefontaine and John G. Dun of Columbus, and the faithful colored body servant Joseph Matthews
 The casket was plain but elegant, cov- cred with black broadcloth, with oxidized extension bars running the entire length of the casket. The following inscription appeared on plain silver plate on the casket:
 Allen Cranberry Thurman. Born rzo- vember 13, 1913. Died December 12, 1885"
 In the casket the remains of Judge Thurman appeared as natural as in life. His last illness was free from any severe ravages of disease, and the sturdy. rugged expression of his face had not dis appeared. but was quite as natural as ever

A MISTRIAB.
The Jury Was Morally Certain That Plaint
 if Was Blacklisted.

if Was Blacklisted.
 Chicago, Dec. 14.-After being out fif- teen hours the jury in the case of Ketch- am against the Chicago and Northwest ern Railroad company for damages on account of having been blacklisted for participation in the big American Rail- way union strike, told Judge Burk at the opening of court this morning that there was no possibility of an agreement and they were discharged. This is the first case to come up for trial under com mon law against conspiracy where plain tiff alleges blacklisting for going out on on strike, and was regarded in the na- ture of a test case. Nine ballots were taken and the jury was evenly divided as to the guilt of the company. The last ballot was 10 to in favor of the railroad and it was apparent from the talk of the jurors outside of the court room that majority of those who stood out for the defendant believed Ketcham had been blacklisted, but that the testimony did not prove that which they were morally certain of.

ANGRY LOUISIANA EDITORS One Challenge Has Passed and
 Another May Follow.
 s VERY ROUGH LANGUAGE USED
The Lie Passed Between Congressman Boat.
 ner and Major Hearsey
THEY ABUSE ONE ANOTHER RoUNDLY
Meeting Will Be Averted-Judge Whitaker Refused to Have
 Them Arrested.

New Orleans, Dec. 14.-The trouble be- tween Major Hearsey and Congressman Boatner grows out of the Foster cam paign. Mr. Boatner is at present bitterly opposed to the renomina tion of the gov- ernor. He had first been extremely an tagonistic to the governor but subse- quently went to his side and thereafter changed his views again. MT. Boatner is president of the News Publishing company of Monroe, and numerous arti-s cles have appeared in that paper casti- gating the governor. They were the ba- sis of a challenge between MT. Sholars, author of the letters, and Editor Chevls of the Baton Rouge Advocate, a strong supporter of Governor Foster. That af- fair was amicably settled. The States, which is edited by Major Hearsey, was drawn into the fight in Ouachita parish. through the strictsres upon Governor Fosters administration, which the States is now supporting, though strongly op- posed to Foster four years ago. The News charged that the States was infiu- enced in it's support of Governor Foster by the fact that it had been given the city printing contract, and that contract had been corruptly acquired. Major Hearsey, through the States, denounced the News charge as a coWardly lie. Colonel Boatner was in Washington then. He came home and on December 10 an- nounced that he was the responsible ed itor of the News. On the same day he. wrote a note to Major Hearsey saying he would demand satisfaction for the at- tacks made upon the editor of the News. On the following day he printed a bitter attack in the News on Major Hearsey, in which he used the terms "strutting braggart" and liar" applying them to Major Hearsey, and reiterating the print ing contract charge. Major Hearsey considered that Colonel Boatner under the code had no right to attack him, once having sent a note promising a de- mand for satisfaction. Thereupon the States printed yesterday it's scathing de- nunciation of Colonel Boatner. Colonel Boatner came to the city today with President McLain of one of the Monroe banks. He also called in President Can drall of the Southern Telephone com pany, and a note is understood to have been addressed to Major Hearsey, though naturally all parties to the affair are reticent. Both men are widely known in the state and their friends are naturally hopeful that hostile meeting will be averted. The present condition of affairs gives rise to the belief that there would be no street encounter.
 An effort was made by an outsider to have both gentlemen arrested, but Judge Whitaker did not consider he ought to entertain the affidavit at this time

Reception at Norfolk.
 Norfolk, Va, Dec. 4.-President Cleve- land and party arrived at Elizabeth City this evening on the light house tender at 5 o'clock. His arrival soon became known and hundreds fiocked to the wharf to shake his hand. A large number of preachers of the Methodist conference called and presented their respects. The Southern Associater Press reporter called to see the president at 2 o'clock. He was looking well and appeared to be in ex- cellent health and spirits despite the bad weather, which prevented his enjoying his duck shooting on Currituck sound. As the crowd left the wharf three cheers were proposed for the president and given heartily A countryman caused considera ble laughter by saying in a loud voice: "Give my love to the madame and the babies" The president is ex- pected here on a special train and will take the steamer for Washington, where he will arrive in the morning.

Washington, Dec. H.-Speaker Reed worked until midnight last night in his rooms at the Shoreham arranging the house committees. He has denied him self to all callers, except such of the members as he desires personally to con suit Notwithstanding the belief to the contrary number of representatives have declined to embarrass the speaker by applying for committee assignments. MT Reed, therefore, has sent for these gentlemen and consulted with them as to their preferences, believing that he can better perform his work with this knowledge than without it. It is not likely that the committees will be ready to be announced before next Saturday, which will doubtless delay the holiday adjournment until that date.
