was docked at New York recently, It was

frequently instructs his doorkeeper on the
morning of days when he is to be kept es-
pecialiy busy in attending to public busi-

Congress and their secretaries are seen, as
usual.
Mr.. Palmer has not yet Had an opportuni-

examining the systems prevailing in the
various departments with view to making
such improvements as may be suggested to

Senator Perkins presented two pe,itions

ladders.
The dead are John McCleash and John
Coyne. The bodies of both were but slightly
burned. Coyne, who was but thirteen years
old, was found tightly clasped in the arms
Of McCleash who had evidently persisted

A LABOR DELEGATION.
Demands Made of Speaker Reed and
the Latter's Reply.


the Latter's Reply.
A delegation from the American Fedora
tion of Labor. consisting of Samuel Com
dent; James Duncan, vice president; the
executive council and the advisory board
called upon Speaker Reed at the Capitol
this afternoon. Messrs. Gompers Mcclure
and Duncan acted as spokesmen for the
party, and demanded of the Speaker in he
half Of organized labor that this Congress
should take action on some matters of Iegis-
lation which organized labor desires 1t
was stated that the last Congress had not
passed any measure demanded by organized
labor. There were many things before Con-
gress awaiting it's action, and 1t seemed to
the spokesmen that there was no reason
why such action should not be taken It
was stated that one Of the measures re-
ferred to was the immigration law, which
would restrict the competition Of cheap
hour law was also desired to make that
law effective, as 1t was not now enforced.
There were also other general matters re-
lating to the interests of organized labor
which should be considered.
The committee also recommended that
Representative j. j. Gardner of New Jersey
should be appointed chairman Of the COM
mittee on labor. 1t was stated that this
that Mr.. Gardner was believed to be thor
oaghly in sympathy with the interests Of
labor organiza tions.
Speaker Reed replied to the committee:
As to the appointment of the chairman of
the committee on labor, he said that he
would receive the recommendations of the
committee then present in q courteous
spirit, but would state that in the selection
of a committee of Congress the wishes of
the House had to be considered as well as
the recommendations of outside parties
Mr.. Reed was Of the opinion that stricter
enforcement of the eight-hour law would
be the natural result of the growing SYM
pathy of the people with that measure. All
reforms, he said, and the eight-hour law
was a radical reform, require time for their
complete enforcement.
As to the demand for general legislation
! In the interest Of labor. Mr.. Reed held that
there was no measure before Congress OF
such vital interest to labor as the tariff bin
Ihat was far and above all other things al
| to law ne did not see how anything else
could be well considered.

The king denied that Greece commenced
hostilities against Turkey. and argued that
Turkey was not compelled to go TO war be-
cause of the incursion of few insurgents
whom nobody could have restrained
Continuing, King George said:
The truth as, We were attacked because
Turkey was ordered to attack us. There
never would have been war but FOR certain
intrfgues, which will appear later All the
powers are more less against us. IL
they wanted war, they have got it, Such
is the result of the European concert. Eu-
