Plumb desired to have the amend-ment offered and agreed to distributing among the various departments of the government the number of census office clerks, whose employment is about to cease, but Edmunds objected on th ground that it was purely a legislative subject and interfered with the opera-tion of the civil service rules, those clerks not having had to go through the forms of the civil service examination. The amendment providing payment to the Pacific railroads was agreed to without division. The next reserved amendment was that for the payment of the French ppoilalion claims. The discusston wus carried on at much length by Messrs. Stewart, Hoar, Kustis, Sherman. Ed-munds, Spooner, Morrill, Haniel, Blair, Hale, Keagan and Hawley.

HorsE. When the houso met after recess, it was found the wear and tear of heavy work of the last few days had told heavily upon the reading clerks and tneir voices, as the readings of the var-ious measures sent to them wero al-most inaudible. , Cutcheon of Michigan, submitted tho conference report on the bill to increase the number of the hoard of managers of the national home for disabled volun-teers. As agreed to the bill pro-vides for eleven members ami the names of the following in addition to those already appointed: Edmund Morrill, Alfred Pearson, Wil-liam B. Franklin, John C.

GOMPEHS IN THE (Til r Samnel Gorr.p, P resident of the Amerl can Federation of Labor Arrived Here this Morning, ' EE WILL SPEAK TONIGHT AT r The Mass Meeting to be Held in Mark'. Hall Parade of the Labor Unions Q This Evening, qj Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, arrived in Salt Lake city about 3 o'clock this A morning. He was welcomed by the re- - O ception committee and driven to the M Hotel Temploton. -- ( Mr. Gompers kindly received ft M Tim i.s reporter this morning, and in re- - Q ply to a question suid: "The object of (a my visit through the west is to assist W tho workinginon in organization, and x to soeiiro the co operation of the people H and organized workmen in the enforce- - fj) meut of the eight-hou- r system for tha coal miners. Last year the demand ji was for the carpenters, which was of- - 4 feeted, and other organizations gained recognition in this respect. On gaining this request for the coal initiers, other organizations will bo recognized and before long the eight-hon- r system will be universal. Tho coal miners will make a formal demand for the reduc-tion in hours of labor about May 1. Tha estimated number of coal miners in tbo United States is about 2$0,00j, ot whom 200,000 are in the 'com-petitive district, including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, thio. Indiana and llli- - BAMIF.I. COJirKKS. nois. Of these 109.000 are already on , ganized, and the remainder are rapidly perfecting their organization. The con veution of tho federation at Detroit last December decided to concentrate every effort on this move of the coal miners to make it a success. The ' regular assessments will bo devoted to this end. "About the first of next month there should be a cgnerence between th) miners anil the operatw".- - irytttfrtttni, ; ,. t.,. . f I hope to have the country so thor-oughly aroused as to force tho operators to grant the demand without trouble; or iu case of their refusal, to have success, assured. The present prospect for the victory are excellent. Our watchword is eight hours. They mean higher wages, steadier employment ami work; for thousands now without employment.' "I find that the movement of the working people is taking good shape. These men are learning their rights and securing them to their advantage iu the most practical way. The im-provements for tho working men will benefit the entire country. Any reck-les- s arrangement may prove to be disadvantage and disrupt business which may possibly bring with it its own reaction. We are not advocate of strikes and we recognize their evils, but the greatest objection we have to them is that they occur when tha strikers are least prepared. A success-ful strike seems something gained. Tha strike properly conducted is an edu-cator. "We would rather reduce the. number of strikes than condemn them. NothiDg tends more to reduce the num ber of strikes than preparing for them, with organized labor forces and a well-fille- d treasury. Then employers think twice before acting unjustly. "The American Federation of Labor? has its organization all over the coun-try. It is the result of economic condi-tions and it recognizes the necessity of the improvement of the work-ing people by a natural and gradual development. We desire no injury to existing enterprises, but wo insist on tho improvement of tho condition of the wage workers as regards their moral aud social condition." President Gompers has received noth ing but enthusiastic receptions since he left his home iu New York city on this mission. He has spoken at Syracuso : and Rochester, N. Y.;Cleveland Colum fins, O., Indianapolis, Logansport, Terre Haute and Kvansville, Ind., Bur-lington, I ,,twice in Kausas City, Kan., four times in Kansas City, Mo., St. ; Joseph Mo., Topeka, Kan., and twice i in Denver, Colo. From here ho will go to the coast and thence to Montanaaud ' North and South Dakota. Mr. Gompers' reception in Denvep was a great affair. Lieutenant Gov-ernor Storey welcomed hiiu in behalf of Colorado and Mayor Londoner in behalf of Denver. The house and sen- - ' ate each passed a resolution extending the privilege of each body to Mr. Gom- - t pers. Tho geutleman made an address to each body in which he stated i tho object of the organization he represented was to lift the working j men to a higher plane of civilization.

The saloof tho Brayton Ives book, manuscript and art collection began today at the American Art association galleries. There was a large attendaueo from this and other cities, and tho articles offered brought good prices. Mr. Ives is tho owner of one of tho finest collections In this or any other country.

There are many notable books in Mr. Ives' Amer-icana, among them doing "Champlaiu's Voyages," of which there is believed to be only one other complete set in any private collection in this country.

The announcement that President Wilford Woodruff, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, had been prostrated by pulmonary troubles, accompanied by alarming symptoms of pneumonia was the occasion for a ripple of more than ordinary solicitude upon the thorough-fares during the day and the tele-phone wires to his mansion wero kept busy up to the last hour. The fici that ho had been enfeebled by old age and his prominence as a citizen naturally gave rise to exaggerated rumors and the atmosphere was soon afloat with stories. It had been known for some time that while ho was in the apparent vigor of "a ripe old age" his vitality was not sufficient to resist any stubborn attack. A reporter in-terviewed the secretary antl was in-formed that at 3 o'clock tho president was some better. la mi timings. Further inquiry at 3 4) this afternoon elicited information from headquarters that tho cabinet ami counselors felt that the present condition of the president was not suf-ficiently serious to justify any grave appruhention ou the part of the people or n is immediate counsel. A short time ago the ven-erable gentleman who has been annoyed for somo time by indi-gestion detected its presence in more aggravated type. Jt was accompanied by , symptoms of gas-tritis, and while there were no well developed evidences of its presence some uueasiuess was felt. The un-settled condition of tho weather had also a perceptible effect, and when at the recent concert by the Tabernacle choir ho made his appearance it was in heavier wraps, wnilo a black silk handkerchief about his throat betrayed the fact that he was suffering from a bron-chial affection. When it became known last, evening that he was sick and that his physicians had advised hi:n to seek quiet and retirement, tho public pulso was quickly carried to a high pitch of conjecture. Added to this was the ago of tho sufferer, he having observed tne eighty-firs- t anni-versary of his birth last fall. A message at tho hour of going to press states that tho president's condi-tion is slightly improved. Tha Ptibl.o Debt, Washington, March 3.

SHAPED AFTER THE WHISKY TRUST. Tk Kama AU'ianc will F.iiht the Peril with HI Own Fire. TorKKA, March 8. A new alliance movement contemplates the formation of a huge grain and livo stock trust, including Nebraska, Kansas, Mis-uur- i and Iowa. Frank McGrath, president of the Farmers' alliance, says the pro-ject is ouo of the results of the failure of the alliance legislatures to pass cer-tain bills. Legislation, he 6ays, is too slow for the achievement of alliance objects. McGrath says district alli-ances are being formed in every con-gressional district, and provisions being made for building cold storage and grain depots. Tho district alliances will be made up of In this way a constant communication from tho individual members will bo had.T "No individual member will sell his grain to option men or bankers," said McGrath, "but when ho is obliged to sell, the grain will be taken by the alliance. J he same thing will follow with cattle. We will have agents in Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis, who will keep tho district alliances posted as to the market, and upon this information the, demand will be fl no more. No option wheat wjl JpSjiJH the market; and there will be no speculation iu grain before har-vest, ;for the states in this trust will practically control the wheat and cattle markets of the United States. The hardest thing we have to deal with is fixing tho price. We mean to ascer-tain the exact cost of the product and add a reasonable prolit to it. The new scheme is modeled in detail after the whisky'trust, of course. You will say our principles will not admit of it, but we have decided that we must light tho devil with lire." PACIFIC RAILROAD INDEBTEDNESS. Senator Ftjre' Nrlieine for Nettlement A f Letter from lluntlnctuii. Washington', March 3. Senator ; Frye, chairman of tho senate committee on Pacific railroads, reported to the senate and had recommitted a bill for I settlement of tho indebtedness to the government of the Union and Central , r.'ieifTo, 'railroad companies. The pro-visions of tho bill, in brief, nre; In case of the Union Pacific company, an ex-tension of the debt of that cover a term of 100 years, to bear interest for the first ten years at 2 per cent, and for the remainder of the period with i per cent in addition. The com-- , ', pany is to p:iy an annual sum, ranging lrnm of 1 per cent to 1 per cent of its total indebtedness. The- require-- , inenis in the case of the Central Pacific are that its debt shall be extended to cover 100 Jars. bearing interest for the first ten yeurs at 1 per cent and f '"with a provision' for additional' pay-- . meets, as in the vase of the Union i'a- - ,t ("the time is fast approaching wneu the ( ' bonds advanced by the government will . lecome due, and in cast; they are not ' "'jiaid it is possible for the government to take possession of the roads. He thinks it would not be prudent or politic for the government to take this step, as the road ooud now be built for less than the goveni'munt lien. He says that the proposed bill will bring back to the gov-ernment all the advances made to the l'acilic roads and give the government a larger interest on the money than the government would have to pity if it ' went into the market to borrow. 'The Pacific roads get an extension of time to forty-fou- r years, which is absolutely necessary. He promises the Central Pacitie would abide by the agreement, paying interest and prineiptl semi-annually until extinguished, and the government would lie amply paid. Th Foitolllr. Appropriation, Washington, March 8. The con-ferees on the postollice appropriation bill reached an agreement on the few points at, issue between the two houses. Tho senate amendment increasing the appropriation for forelgu mail servico $.100,000 to meet the requirements of the postal subsidy bill just passed was acceptod by the house conferees. The senate amendment increasing by $100,-00- 0 the appropriation for the pay of clerks in the postoftice was amended ho as to provide for an increase of $(30,000. A TOUGH SCHEME. CONTRACT FOR THE CONDUIT A BAD LOOKING JOB. A Thouiand Chanee for Fraud and a Kobbery of the ilf la til I'arl.y'ii Cauyuu Conduit. A meeting was held this morning by the committee of tho board of public works having in charge the bids for the awards of the contracts for building the Parley's canyon conduit. There was present Chairman Bowles, Crmklin, and City Engineer Doremus. N 'con-clusion was arrived at, and no IV'jJ made, tho committee deciding ag, "i at 8 o'clock tonight. .JM l,..'here was ever anion j&xm 'mM(s jrtbtperpotrated On the citiSi.! of a niclpality, or if ever specifications were submitted for bids showing a ranker in-capacity and moro loopholes for frauds and chicanery than the one that the board of public works are surreptitiously endeavoring to cram down the throats of the people of this city, it is not known when or where it occurred, for be it understood tho con-struction antl tho specifications of the present contract are crooked and rotten from rind tq core. It is an early date to commence a work which gives so many transcendent illus-trations of gross carlessuess aud almost criminal inefficiency in the preparation of the stipulations, that this one does. The chances for jobs and a w holesale onslaught on tbo funds of the treasury are almost innu-merable and would bo apparent to the veriest tyro, if he were not a member of the board of public woks, it is early in the career of this body for them to make such an unenviable showing as they are making in this matter, for it is of no consequence how pure their motives may be, (ami credit is given for that until the contrary is proven), they w ill alw ays bo open to the most un-qualified censure because they have not more fully understood the enterprise they have undertaken and paused be-fore it was too late. On the whole it is for them lo de-cide before awarding that contract, whether it is belter for them to be con-sidered by their fellow citizens, as ras-cals or fools. It is not too late for them to turn back the leaves, and more fully post themselves on the requirements of the d'attract so that contractors can in-telligently bid on it. By so doing they may be able to maintain their reputa-tions, but they will never be able to re-trieve them if they persist in pursuing their present course. As it now stands, tho expenses of that work would roll up and multiply worse than that of the New Y'ork capitol building. The analysis of the specifications and the bills submitted could be extended to almost indefinite limits, but. it will only be necessary to show up one or two of the most glaring, The specifications call forbids for tho different kinds of piping, such as cast, wrought and riveted iron, wood, etc., for one hundred feet, whereas there will have to be fully fi.ooo feet of such character of material in the construc-tion of this work. In that one item there is an abundant opportunity for the city to lose thousands of dollars. As an illustration a contractor in making his bid on tho work eouid put iu nu exces-sively high bid per foot for the pipin; of which a great ileal is really required, and then so equalize it by making an exceeding low bid for another class of work for which the specifications may call for a great quantity, for instance masonry, but of which class of work tho construction of the conduit itself would really re-quire very little. By making a high bid on tho former work, then, and a low one on the latter class, the con-tractor would be enabled to pick a very rich plum, for they could justly refuse to do tho piping for less than their bid per foot if the quantity wero even indefinitely increased, and any court on earth would sustain them in their position. It is not too late for the board of public works to reconsider their hasty aud action. Will they do it? Presidential Nominations. Washington, D. C.,Ma4ch 4. Henry C.
