Of wild blizzard yesterday afternoon,
the steamer ST. Culbert burned to the
waters edge off Nova Scotian coast.
Fifteen members of the crew were
drowned by the swamping of a small
boat in which they attempted to
leave the vessel after the fire had

follows:
"The st. Culbert was abandoned
afire Monday afternoon off Nova SEQ

nine hours during a strong gale, a
heavy sea and snow squall. The life
boat in charge of the chief officer
making three perilous trips rescued 81

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS

Washington, Feb 4.-Following are
in brief, the proceedings of the two
houses of congress yesterday as taken
from the official records:
MANIFESTATION Piles of Washing
ton delivered an eloquent appeal in
favor of an appropriation by congress
of 500, 900 for a government exhibit at
the AlaSka-YukOn-Pa Pacific exposition, to
be held in Seattle next year. The day
was chiefly devoted to consideration
of bills on the calendar several of
which were passed. At 1857 the senate
adjourned until today.
OUSE-Three of the giants of the
house had their innings. Technically,
the Indian appropriation bill was un-
der discussion, but legislation was rel
egated to the background while nation
al politics occupied the stage. Before
the political question cropped out the
house. with next to the largest attend
ance of the session present, with but
one dissenting voice. passed a general
, widows pension bill granting a fiat
of all honorably discharged soldiers of
the United States who have not here
tofore received the benefits of the pen
sion law and an increase of 81 a month
June q. 1890. The bill involves the
expenditure of more than S12,000,O0
annually. The political debate was
opened by Mr.. Townsend of Michigan,
who, in a prepared speech, claimed for
| the republican party credit for all ma =
| tional legislation in the last so years
| of vital interest to the public. In this
! he was vigorously disputed by Mr..
followed, defending the presidents
message, and said that condemnation
of it had come only from the great NAL
efactors of the age and the gentleman
! from Ohio meaning Senator Foraker
The house at ASS p. m. adjourned un-
til today.

ANOTHER SETBACK
Organized Labor Gets Third Re.
cent Adverse Decision by
Supreme Court.
BOYCOTT NOW UNDER BAN
Section of Antitrust Law Construed
to Apply t Unions Most
Effective Weapon.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Boycotts by
labor unions were done to death yes
terday by the supreme court of the
United States. The case of Lawler VS..
Loewe was decided in favor of the
Danbury Conn, hat maker on every
point advanced.
Following the action of Justice
Gould in issuing an injunction against
the American Federation of Labor and
members of its executive committee
prohibiting the publication of the
name of the Buck Stove and Range
company on the Federation's unfair
list" the conviction is entertained that
the appeal planned in that case will
result in the affirming of Justice
Gould's ruling.
Third Blow in Month.
The opinion in the Loewe case was
the third delivered within a month
constituting laws adversely to the con-
tentions of organized labor.
The first decision, Jan. 6, Knocked
out the employers liability law. The
second, Jan. %, upheld the right of an
employer to dismiss an employe be-
cause of his union affiliations.
The case decided yesterday was
that of Lawler VS.. Loewe, the former
member of the hatters' union and
the latter a hat manufacturer of Dan
bury Conn.
The case involved the applicability
of the seventh section of the Sherman
antitrust law TO conspiracieS by labor
unions to boycott articles entering
into interstate trade.
May Collect heavy Damages.
Under the terms of that provision
the complaining party may collect
three times the amount of his loss if
the charge is sustained. The union
fought the case on the ground that the
law was inapplicable to such Organiza-
tions. but the court, whose opinion
was announced by Chief Justice Full
Ter, failed to accept this view, and in
effect held that the unions could not
be permitted to interfere by boycott.
with the free exchange of commerce
between the states. No dissenting
view was presented.
