Consolidate Rival Organizations.

consolidate HiVal Or9dnizationS'
 The conferees desired plan of con ciliaton by which an attempt will be made to bring together the amalga- mated association and the rival organi- zation known as the Philadelphia Street Railway Employees association.
 The Metal Trades Federation, embrac- ing all kinds of metal trades held anoth- CT meeting this afternoon and discussed plans for perfecting the organization. Nine of the fifteen eligible metal trades unions in the United States were repre- scented. The object of the federation is to have an organization that can hold conferences with the National Metal Trades association, which is composed exclusively of manufacturers. The American Federation of Labor conven- tion will remain in session for the next six days and will have very busy week. Two hundred resolutions touching upon nearly every question in the labor world have been presented for action. The committees will make reports on them as rapidly as possible, but 1t is not like ly that more than half of these will be reported from the several committees.

MANY Americans Trge the Retention
of Mt Least Two Field Guns

Pekin, March 12.-Companies \ and
b of the Ninth United States intan-
try have been notified that they are
10 remain in China. 1t is believed
that Mai. Robertson will command
them.
Many Americans have urged the le-
cation to use its influence TO have at
least two field guns and enough ar
tillervmen TO work them left. They
say that during the siege these guns
would have been more valuable than
200 armed men, and that necessity for
their use is liable to occur again.
The Germans report that in the re-
cent engagement near Pao Ting Fu
$50 Chinese were killed and four mag
azine guns captured. There were nc
German losses.
The American field telegraph lint
which was constructed here ha'

THE TREATY REJECTED.
Great Britain objects to tho Canal Troat,
Amendments of the United
States Senate.

Washington, March 12.-Lord
Pauneefote, British ambassador, form
ally communicated to Secretary Hay
yesterday an instruction from his gov.
ernment rejecting in toto the senate
amendments to the isthmian canal
treaty.
The British reply is such as to leave
no doubt that Great Britain regards
the ClaytonBulwer treaty as in full
force and effect, and holds, that, m
der its provisions, the United States
can not, without her consent, build a
canal across the isthmus of Central
America.
Yet the president and Secretary
Hay, by the terms of the reply, drt
given an opportunity TO reopen nego
tintions which may result in a treaty
satisfactory to the executive and sen
ate and the British government.
