Resolutions Passed by the Federa- tion at- Philadelphia. BATTLES WITH THE MOONSHINERS. Proposed Improvement of New York's Quarantine. AN OCEAN RACE BEGUN. FOR THE RELIEF OF LABOR. Many Remedies Approved by the Federa- tion at Philadelphia. Pmuaperrata, Dec. 17.—Today being ex- Pected to close the sessions of the twelfth an- nual convention of the American Federation of Labor, the delegates were called together at 8 o'clock, with a large amount of business aweit- ing their disposal. Resolutions were ad on all local unions afllisted with’ the federstion, to Join central labor bodies holding charters from the federation; condemning the Rock Island R. R. wyatetn for requiring {ta telegraph operators to izatl withdraw from their o1 yn; asking that sailors be include under the O- visions of the alien —_contract_law; condemning the system of advance wages to sailors; favoring changes in the patent laws so that inventors will recefvo a direct reward; con- demning the Baron Hirsch fund and its charita- bly recipients and demanding re- striction of tmmigration; condemning the sys- tem compelling waiters to shave off their mus- faches and favoring the eight-hour system for m2. A resolution was unanimously adopted ask- ing clemency for the imprisoned Chicago anar- chistes, Neebe, Folding and Schwab. Delegate Morgan of Uhicago introduced a substitute for a resolution favoring government control of telegraph and telephone lines. Th socialistic element wanted a resolation asking that the government control all means of com- wunication, transportation and production. Morgan insisted on a roll call to tost the neneo of the federation on this proposition and the Tesult was a defeat for the socialists by a vote of 1,628 to 527. Even some of the delegates of pronounced itic views voted against the resolution owing to the indefinite nature of the demand. The original revolution was then passed with an amendment asking government control of railroads. Resolutions reaffirming the previous conven- tious’ edvocacy of woman suffrage and asking for state legislation to protect trade-union marks were adopted, and various resolutions asking legislation against the Chinese were favorably recommen to the next executive council. Differences between the socialists and auton- omists were aired when a resolution was re- orted asking Congress either to legislation compelling the adjustment of labor disputes by arbitration, or the sub- mission of a constitutional amendment per- mitting such legislation. The socialistic repre- sentatives favored the measure, as a step toward government control of all production, and characterized its opponents asanarchists, charg- ing that they objected to it as they objected to all governments. President Gompers and others argued that compulsory arbitration might prove a danger- ous weapon against labor interests should it fall into the hands of capital. gaiidhe ieee WILL RACE ACKOSS THE OCEAN. The Atlantic Greyhounds City of Paris and Etruria Start From New York. New York, Dec. 17.—Tho Inman steamet City of Paris, now holding the eastern record, and the Cunarder Etruria started at 2 p.m. to- day for a race across the ocean. Both steamers carry passengers hoping to arrive in time to spend Christmas at their homes in Europe. To accommodate holiday travel the sailing of the City of Paris was changed from Wednesday te to today. This is the last trip of both steamers for some hittle time. The City of Paris will return on the Ist of March and the Etruria about the 2ist of January, the former probably flying the American flag. Among the passongers of the Etruria were Arthur Herbert of the British legation at Copen- n and Belgium, who was married at Newport on Wednesday. ———— ROUTED THE MOONSHINERS. Deputies Raid a Dreaded Section of North Carolina and Break Up Many Stills. Razeton, N. C., Dec. 17.—The revenue col- lector has news of very large seizures of illicit distilleries in Wilkes and Catawba counties. In the former excellent detective work was done by man named Osborne, who gave the officers points as to the locality of ten stills, all of which were cut up. Os- borne has left that part of the country, But moonsbiners who are in business in Wilkes say they are again in danger of betrayal. ‘There was a sharp figt at Catawba, where Deputy Collector Jones and a large party raided the notorious South mountain section. ‘They went in under fire, but none were hurt. ‘They captured three stills and one moonshiner. For many years the deputies feared that sec- tion and in the first raid failed entirely, though it was made only a year ago. In the last raid 4,000 gallons of liquor were seized. pewter NEW YORK’S QUARANTINE. Recommendations Made by the State Board of Commissioners. Axsaxy, N. Y., Dec. 17.—The state board of commissioners of quarantine have determined it to be necessary to improve and enlarge quarters at Hoffman Island for the accommo- dation of a larger number of steerage passen- gers and also to provide a suitable place for the reception of steamers which may be detained in New York bay, — espe- For the cially during © cholera scourge. reception of cabin passengers the committeo roposes to build a ship capable of accommo- ting 500 persons or to select a new island south of existing quarantine islunds. The leg- islature will be asked to pass upon these recom- mendations. ‘The probabilities are that the use of Fire | Inland as a quarantine station will be discon- tinued and the island sold, for the reason that the law at present prohibits the use of any part of Long Island for quarantine purposes. pee TOLD TO MOVE ON.

Official boards of trade exist only in about 10 per cent of the towns in Russia, and the decree therefore means a vast addition ‘to the misery and oppression under which the Hebrews already labor.

They were again pressed for rale at the opening and some large blocks were thrown on the market, breaking prices at 8 rapid rate. The dealings were attended with considerable excitement at times. All of the trust stocks, with the sole exception of sugar, which showed evidence of support, were marketed without evident regurd to’ price. Whisky trust was ‘the leader of the downward movement, and in the first half hour its price had declined 234 per cent. The other trusts, with the oxcep- tion of sugar, bad declined 1 to 2 per cent during the same period. ‘The weakness of the trusts extended to the whole list, and some of the railroad stocks were pressed for sale at intervals, notably Lackawanna and New England. Toward 11 o'clock there was some recovery, but it soon disappered under renewed selling. "The lowest prices of the morning were current at the close. The bank statement published about 11 o'clock and which was considered @ favorable showing had no apparent influence on the market. The decline ranged from 3% to 2 per cent. WILL ADJOUR: UNTIL MAY.
