TRADES COUNCIL
Tabled Motion To Withdraw From
 American Federation of Labor.

A regular meeting of the Birmingham Trades Council was held Sunday after noon in Clerks hall, with a good repre- sentation present. The most important business before the meeting was the tablng of motion that the council withdraw from the American Federation of Labor account of the trouble with the Musicians union. The musicians have not intimated what they will do, but 1t is probable that an amica- ble adjustment will be reached.
 The chairman of the Labor Day commit tee asked for further time to make final report, which was granted.
 James McGovern of the Amagamated Association of Iron and Steel Wol kers an- nounced that T. J. Shaffer, president of the National association, would be in the city next Sunday, and suggested that he be in- vited to address an open meeting of the council.

MIR. HAGGARD REPLIES.
The Age-Herald Correspondent Makes
 Dignified Statement of Facts in Case.

Mr Sewell Haggard the correspondent of The Age Herald, who was with the First Alabama regiment at Miami and Jackson vile, and to whose dispatch Chaplain t1tz- simmons took exception, wrote the follow ing card CT reply last night:
 "As the correspondent of The Age-Herald who sent the story from Jacksonville, to which Chaplain Owen P. Fitzsimmons has referred publicly, l submit the following: "The only paragraph in the story to which the chaplain referred is follows
 "'He Dr. Fitzsimmons) delivered a sermon on the subject Sunday morning, in which he censured parents for writ ing their sons to forsake duty. The mothers who did this had not the proper conception of the oath under which their sons enlisted
 T submit that the chaplain confirmed the above paragraph in his sermon Sunday. It is true that he did not express himself in his sermon Sunday as he did in his speech before the regiment at Jacksonville. Per haps he does not write his sermons and

had forgotten his exact language.
 "Dr. Fitzsimmons made the assertion that a correspondent whom he did not know had accused him of criticising the mothers of Alabama. Here Chaplain Fitzsimmons as sumes that a statement was made which was not made, and then he proceeds to de- nounce as false a conception of his own mind, built by himself for the purpose of denouncing The statement Chaplain Fitz- simmons made was printed-it is given above-and that statement he practically repeated here in his church Sunday Chap lain Fitzsimmons seems to have lost his usually equable temper.
 Chaplain Fitzsimmons said that w. P. Lay denied the interview with him printed in the Age-Herald shortly before his trip to Jacksonville. MT. Lay assured me while in Jacksonville few days after the inter- view appeared that it was correct in every particular, adding the assertion that he had found things much worse than he had as- sumed from letters received from different members of the regiment.
 q had no desire to make a personal fight. l gave no unjust account of his utterances; l did not say he criticised the mothers of Alabama This is merely a conclusion he has himself deducted, and which seems to haunt him. SEWELL HAGGARD."

influence to get their sons discharged had always closed with the proviso that the discharge be an honorable one. Like the Grecian mother, as she bade her son good bye she told him to come back with his shield or to come back lying dead on it.
 "Yet there was dispatch sent from Jacksonville saying that I had criticised the mothers of Alabama. I have never been able to find out who the sender of the message was, but he knew it to be false when he sent it and the paper knew it to be false when it printed the same. It was heralded through the state: The Men Hot Against Fitzsimmons.' I long for the good old days when such journalism would not be tolerated.

 "The next point in question Is that I was quoted as saying it was treason for a man to seek the disbandment of the regt- ment The facts are these: The day before I preached the sermon I received copy of The Age-Herald, in which it was stated that it was a shame that the officers of the regiment did not assist the men in their efforts to get the regiment mustered out.

"a comparison of the schedule of rates
imposed by the Hawaiian tariff and those
imposed by the Dingley law says Mr..
Sewall. will show what an inducement
is offered importers in anticipation of the
extension of the Dingley tariff TO Hawaii.
The Hawaiian tariff imposes an average
rate of 10 per cent and has a liberal free
list But on numerous articles of Ameri-
can manufacture, which ought naturally
to find a large outlet in Hawaii, duties
are very heavy. Notably among these
are to be classed carriages, jewelry and
brushes at % per cent each. and whisky,
the rate on which is s. 30 per gallon and
10 cents for every degree above proof.
Hawaiian customs authorities have been
at work for some time preparing state
ment of the revenues that are to be real
lied on Hawaiian imports under the
Dingley tariff law"
Mr. Sewall says he has been credibly
informed by Hawaiian merchants that i'm
ports are being made with the express
purpose of profiting by the new tariff,
but that he does not deem it wise to give
the names of importers.
