The concres afUr a lengthy- discussion passed the resolution virtually as modified by tba British delegates, with the provision that there be organized in every country a permanent commission to inquire into the condition of labor. One Cnhan of America said it is useless to beg (rings and fawn for needful legislation; we must forcibly ex tort reforms aad the abolition of the existing wage system. He wanted the congress to declare plainly for a labor of w ar. After the resolution was adopted he opened a discussion on the attitude of labor towards the Jew and urged sympath towavd the latter. This sUrted lengthy debate, the committee reporting as a device of capagainst disunion italists to sow among while speakmany workingmen, ers reminded the congress that bankers and financiers were the Jewish also great oppressors.

As a re- sult of President Harrison's recent order permitting the Cherokees to hold cattle in the strip provided they can show the cattle belonged to them, J. B. Mayes, chief of the Cherokee Nation, with twenty-fiv- lending men of the tribe, arrived here last night and held a conference today with the cattlemen now herding cattle on the strip. It was arranged that, all cattle now grazing there shall be transferred to individual Cherokees by bills of sale. When the time for marketing comes, the cattle will be transferred back at a sufficient advance to meet the grazing charges. By this agreement half a million of cattle on the strip will be kept there and as many brought there as the Cherokees care to take. Crop Prospects. Spkinofikld, 111., August 19.

Following is a specimen of the sort of of dispatches now being sent out from Ogden by local correspondents. These messages will be of great benefit to the city. This one was printed in the Denver News: Ogden, Utah, August 19. Social Reports from La Plata, the new mining camp in Bear Gulch, twenty miles east of Ogden, state that new strikes of prospectors indicate that the gulch will soon have in working order some of the best silver and lead mines in the world. What iB now known as the La Plata m.ning camp was discovered more than a month ago by a sheep hoarder named Johnson, whose horse acoidentolly kicked over a chipped off a piece q mineral, lying in an old sheep trail. The bright, glistening character of the rock attracted his attention. He took it to a mining man named Ney, who at once recognised its value and proposed that if he would show him the location they would go in partnership on the This wai done and the c'a m ground. located. After turn eling a short distance their hopos were realized.
