this morning says:
A long step toward a permanent

about 2,000,000 organized working-
men, was taken at last mgnt s meeting
of the Central Labor Union, which iB
a purely local body, unattached to
either, but containing unions owing
allegiance to botb. A letter was re
oeived from Samuel Gompers, president
of the federation, asking the Central
Labor Union to sink all differences and
join the federation. When the letter
was read, Charles W. Hoadley, of the
Eleotrioal Workers' Union, a Knight
of Labor, warmly endorsed it. A mo.
tion by James C. Edwards, a Knight of
Labor, to refer Gompers' oner to ami'
iated unions for a vote, was oarried by
a large majority.
A letter was received from District
Assembly No. 76, Knights of Labor,

The district assembly explained that
it did not wish to inoonvenienoe the

that the members of the Central Labor
Union patronize the rival roads.

New York, May 11. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
That the exports of 15,860,000 gold
this week have produced no monetary
distrubance is at once proof of the
soundness of finonoial conditions and
of the prevailinng oonfidenoe in better
things to come. Much of the hesita
tion at present is due to temporarily re
duced demand in all industries, and in
iron and steel the power of the new
combination is being tested by refusal
of orders, so that production exoeeds
consumption, but consumption exceeds
new buying. The general irregularity
ot prices and slackness of demand for
finished products do not prevent the
marking up of prices by combinations,
but are largely due to doubt whether
such prices as are fixed can b main
tained. Pig-iron is weaker in the
East, and also at Pittsburg, and most
finished produots are weaker, with a
remarkably low demand. Minor metals
are inaotive. with copper weak, tin
steady and lead slightly lower, and
Amerioan tin-plates thirty cents below
foreign.
"Traders in wheat have lifted price
a little, and yet nobody questions the
correctness of Western reports indioat
ing more than ordinary yield of winter
wheat and unusual progress in the
Dlantlnsr of spring.
"With the narrow stooK usual at wis
time of the year, a speculation for ad
vanoe always has many opportunities,
but Western reciepts aie still 40 per
oent larger than last year, while At
lantic exnorts. flour inoluded, are for
the week 948,667 bushels, against 1
615.000 a year ago. After a fall to
68 K oents, the price rose about 3 cents
Corn is also a shade lower, but without

the remains of Andrew Allen, on the
North Fork, three miles' above the
month of Pritchard creek. Allen was
an old-timer, and well known in Mur
raj. He left in November, 1893, on
a hunting trip. Search was made a
few days later for him, but his tracks
were covered by the first snow of the
vear. Nothing was known of what
became of him until his discovery.
The remains found were bones, a gun,
armv buttons and a hatchet There
was an empty shell in the gun, prob

Washington, May 9. By a decisive
vote today the senate decided to in
augurate an investigation of the bond
ales conducted by the secretary of the .
treasury during the last three years.
The resolution demanding the investi
gation is very explicit. It requests
that the committee on finanoe be di
rected to investigate and report gen
erally all the material facts and cir
cumstances connected with the sale of
United States bonds by the secretary of
the United States treasury during the
years 1894, 1895 and 1896; what
amount of available funds was in the
treasury at the time of suoh issues; the
obligations of the government, and the
reasons for the withdrawal of gold from
the treasury, and the olaBses of persons
who made suoh withdrawals.
Washington, May 11. All Oregon
and Washington items in the river and
harbor bill went through the senate
without opposition today, including the
appropriation for the boat railway at
The Dalles and the Seattle canal.
There will be a fight on both items in
the conference. With the bond resolu
tion out of the way, the senate gave its
attention to the accumulation of minor
measures before going on with the
river and harbor bill. Mitohell of Or
egon gave notioe that when the last ap
propriation bill was passed, be would
press the joint resolution for election of
senators by the people, not for the sake
of having further speeches, but to ac
tually adopt the resolution. Bills
were paassed to establish a classifica
tion division in thenited States pat
ent office, and granting permission for
the erection of a monument in Wash
ington in honor of Samuel Hahne
mann, and appropriaitng $4,000 for a
foundation.
Washington, May 13. The Califor
nia deep-water harbor project was be
fore the senate most of the day. It is
seldom that a local improvement
arouses so much feeling among sena
tors, manifesting itself in a debate of
unusual animation and of considerable
personal feeling. Berry began the de
bate today, declaring that this proposed
expenditure of $3,000,000 was against
the public interest and in tne pnvate
interest of C. P. Huntington, of the
Southern Pacific Vest and Caffery
took the ground that the appropriation
should not be made at present. Frye,
chairman of the commerce committee,
replied to the striotures upon the prop
osition, and vehemently characterized
the criticism of Huntington as "savor
ing of the slogan ot the sand-lots."
House.
Washington, May 9. The net result
of a three and a half hours' session of
the bouse today was the passage of a
bill to amend the aot to allow appeals
from the supreme courts of the terri
tories to the oourt of appeals. Piokler
attempted to secure his revenge for the
defeat he suffered last night, when the
house refused to remain in session to
pass private pension bills, by blocking
legislation today. He made tne point
of no quorum at every opportunity, and
finally the house, losing patience, ad
journed. Piokler threatens to keep up
his tactios until he accomplishes his ob
ject, whioh he says is to seoure further
consideration of private pension bills.
Washington, May 11. The members
of the house voted themselves $100
per month for olerk hire during the re
cesses of congress. Under a resolution
passed by the fifty-second congress, the
members of subsequent oongresses re
oeived $100 per month for olerk hire
during the sessions. Today the propo
sition to extend this allowance to mem
bers during the recesses of congress
oame up in the form of the Hartman
resolution, adversely reported from the
oommittee on accounts. It occasioned
some very deep debate. It had the
support of Cannon, chairman of .the
appropriations committee, but was op- 1
posed by Dingley, tne floor leader oi
the majority. Aldrion said it would
involve an additional expenditure of
$216,000 per annum. The resolution
was amended so as to except members
who are ohairmen ot committees, hav
ing annual clerks, and as amended
was passed, 130 to 108.
Washington, May 13. The session
of the house today was almost entirely
devoted to the consideration of District
Columbia business. Bills were passed
to authorise the secretary of the treas
ury to detail revenue cutters to en
foroe regulations at regattas; to grant
the Denver, Cripple Creek & South
western railroad a right of way through
the South Platte and Plum oreek forest
reservations; to grant pipe line rights
of way over the publio domain in Colo
rado and Montana; to grant the Flag
staff & Canyon railroad right of way
through the Grand canyon, and to ex
tend the charter of the Dennison &
Northern railroad. A preliminary con
ference report on the Indian appropria
tion bill was agreed to, and the title of
