"Our fraternal delegates to the British
trade union congress, James Duncan and
Harry Lloyd, report that the greetings which
they received at the hands Of our fellow
trade unionists abroad were of a marked,
generous and gratifying character We have
with us today returned fraternal dele
gates from the British trade union congress
to our convention, William Inskip and Will
liam Thornton, men who have given the
best years of their lives to the organization
of the workers and the uplifting of the
masses of labor.
"For the first time, the convention last
year elected fraternal delegate to the
trade and labor congress of Canada, Thomas
l. Kidd, who, too, reports the cordiality of
his greeting and the interest in his mission
Our Canadian fellow unionists have honored
us by electing a delegate to attend this con-
vention in the person of d. A. Carry"
Under the head of mo duality-greater
federation" he said: ''As result of the
engineers strike of Great Britain, COM
bnation and amalgamation of union and
closer federation of all, is the one point to
which the labor movement there is at
present directed and duality of organization
in one trade, claiming equal jurisdiction
in one trade, so long prevailing in Great
Britain, is fast passing away. Our declara-
tion of no two organizations of one
trade, claiming equal jurisdiction, can
exist without conflict and injury, the
principle long ago recognized and established
of one union and one trade, has been taken
as the slogan of the labor movement of Great
Britain, and we shall soon see solidified
army of labor there upon the most perfect
lines to achieve success.
"And this state of affairs teaches us a
lesson, too, more in struggling for the up
building of national and international trade
unionism and also for maintaining the Z
tegrity and entity of the trade union and
with the development of industry and the
concentration of wealth it becomes the
bounden duty of our trade unions to not
only morally but financially concentrate
their efforts in battle, offensive and de
fensive, when any allied organization is en-
gagged in conflict"
Referring to the Pennsylvania and Vir-
den strikes, Mr.. Gompers said
The operators sought to break their
agreement and the strike by importing
horde of ex-convict negro cheap laborers
from Alabama, placing them under an
armed guard of Pinkerton thugs and hire
lings. That bloodshed would ensue when
an ignorant mass of men was armed to do
the bidding of characteress men could cas-
lily be foreseen. Governor Tanner recoQ-
nized the band of armed men as contrary
Ito the laws of the state and forbade en-
trance to others, and finally, approaching
the strained condition of affairs he de-
clared martial law and insisted upon the
disarmament of ALL"
He concluded this paragraph with state

The situation Is Identical with that OF yester-
dav. the Ministers preserving a waiting atti-
tude They believe that by Wednesday or
Thursday the two houses Of Congress VIII have
definitely agreed as 10 their line Of action and
that the course OF events will then depend upon
President Mckinley.
In the mean time the draft Of the speech
from the throne which H. TO be laid before the

drawn up. II is short and strongly worded but
probably will undergo notifications in accord
ance with events that may take place in Amer
lea during the next few days.
stringent orders have been issued TO the
provincial governments to suppress any dis
turbances of an ant-American character. At
the Cabinet Council yesterday Saturday tele-
grams OF a sympathetic nature were received
from south America. while great patriotic en-
thusiasrn is reported from the Spanish colonies.
The situation in the Philippines causes the Gov
ernment some uneasiness; but IT is not true
that rcinforcements are TO be sent there.
Nothing Is officially known here yet Of the

OF any commission to negotiate with the IN

London. April 1s.-The Rome correspondent
OF The Times" says:
in Vatican circles the opinion is still held
that an outbreak Of war may yet be prevented
and rumor Is afloat to the effect that the
Pope Is endeavoring to persuade Spain to recog-
nize the Independence Of Cuba Among Conti-
mental dplomatists n certain degree OF irritation
is observable at what Is alleged to be the atti-
tude Of England. Some OF the Powers. which
have special reasons to fear the consequences OF
Spanish defeat. are evidently Of opinion that
Europe has lost a good opportunity OF affirm
ing her interests as compact political organ
ization in opposition to the interests OF America
At some future time. it is thought. England
may rue her neglect to cooperate with the
other European Powers In creating precedent
for united European opposition to American
high-handedness. 1t is noticeable. however.
that a somewhat inadequate knowledge OF the
present state of feeling in America prevails In
quarters where those opinions are entertained"

FEAST OF ST. DOMINIC.
The Patronal Feast of the Order Of
 Dominicans Solemnly Com
memnrat tad-

The Feast of St. Dominic was solemnly commemorated yesterday at St. Dominic, : Church, on Steiner street. Solemn h1gh mass was celebrated at Il o'clock In the morning. followed by a special ceremony In the evening. A panegyric on the life and works of the saint was eloquently de- livered by the Rev. Father Plus Murphy, who outlined the wonderful career of the founder of the Dominican Order and cited life for imitation by the men of to-day. The history of the order in all its progress and evolution since it's inception was re- viewed by the preacher; and the success which has always attended the lnstltuUon of branch communities, now scattered the world over, outlined.
 Special music was arranged ana sung at the mass by an augmented choir, un- der the direction of the organtst. The oft1- ciating priest. one of the members of the order, was assisted in the solemnization of mass by a deacon and sub-deacon, who were also chosen from the Dominican clergy.
 The altars and sanctuary were beauti- fully decorated for the occasion with myriads of candles, exotic growths, rare flowers. ferns and palms; The high altar presented a combined picture of flicker descending tiers were hundreds of candles and bright fairy lights. which made a glistening background of the bright mar ble slabs of the altar steps.
 In the evening. in addition to the recital of the rosary and procession, an elo- quent and instructive sermon was deliv- cred on the subject of the patron saint.
