ALL REDEEMABLE ONES CALLED. , TVIno Legislation Needed to Dlnposc of tlio Surplus A Nebraska Man Selected to Hacceed Ocn : Perlcy I'oorc. lUdly Needed. WASHINGTON , June 0. | Special Telegram to the UEK.I Secretary Falrchlld , In a talk on finance matters , Is quoted as s.iylnz that all redeemable securities of the government are now called , llo continued : "After the 1st of July the last of the loan of Ibb'J at 3 per cent , rcdee mable at the option of the govern ment , will have been taken up. The amount outstanding on the last day of May was a trlllo less than S'JO.OOO.OOO. " "What relief can you have , then , from au excessive accumulation of tlio surplus'.1" " 1 have authority to anticipate Interest or to go upon the market and buy. In the for mer expediency 1 could anticipate the Inter est for one year on 5250,000,000 of IbOl's at 4X per cent and S7i7.bOO,000 : of 1007's at 4 per cent. The aggregate would be about 540,000 , 000 , which would glvo that amount of relief until congress should meet The authority to purchase bonds In open market Is subject to the manipulations of speculators. If they should run the premium up to an exceptional rate there would bo no propriety in resorting to this means of relief. Those bonds are at a high rate , In foot , a maximum rate. " As to the first plan , the secretary said there would bo no difficulty If holders of securities would co-oporato and would accept the pay ment ot Interest In advance. The secretary would not compel them to take the Interest until It U due. If they accept the Interest there need bo no concern about the surplus for ( ire or six months. Mr. Falrchlld , In view of the power given him by the statutes , as above Indicated , did not think an extra ses sion necessary. Kver if congress did meet a couple of months In advance of Its regular time , Mr. Falrchlld did not think revenue legislation would be much forwarded. Many members would greatly object to an early session because of important state elections In October and November. Mr. Falrchlld * aid that a revision of the tar I It and a reduc tion of tlio lovenuo could not bo delayed much longer. The surplus revenues for the next fiscal year , from the present Indications , will not ho less than 8100,000.000. After the 1st of July , as 1 have said , there will bo no way of getting rid of this accumulation. An an ticipation of Interest would still leave a sur plus of 800,000,000 and to 1:0 Into the market and buy bonds may have objections. There fore something must bo done , wisely , too , and with reference to some defined policy for the benefit of the people. The decrease of the debt for eleven monts of the last fiscal year was S : i,000,000. The debt , less cash In the treasury Juno 1 , was down to Sl.EOO.OOO.- 000 , the Interest-bearing portion of which Is buv 81,100,000,000. The reduction of the debt by the redemption of outstanding securities has come to the end of its tether. Now wo must seek other means of relieving the treasury of its overburdening resources.

DAVE HILL'S ' LABOR SCHEMES New York Democrats Trying to Break Up a Third Party Movement. THE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. The Knights' Committee on Legisla tion Itcports Probahle Action of the Catholic Church on Organized Iiabor. Labor and Politico. ALBANY , N. Y. , Juno 0. [ Special Tele gram to the line. ! Democrats ot prominence here say that the party ls going to lose the state this fall in consequence of the united labor party running a state tlcKet. Governor Hill sees as clearly as any other democratic leader the danger his party Is in should the united labor party run n state ticket this fall and already ho has Instituted measures to prevent such a ticket being nominated through democratic membe.rs of the legislature and democratic leaders from New York. Attempts are being made to in troduce Into the ranks of the united labor party In New York a larvo ; number of active democratic politicians of lower Krade. These men will bo pushed for election as delegates to tlio state convention of the united labor party , which is to be held at Syracuse , August 17. Once In convention tlie. , o delegates are to be In structed to oppose the nomination ot a state ticket and If defeated in this movement to bolt the convention , hold another and de nounce the action of thetirst. If it KOCS ahead and nominates a sta.te ticket , one ot Hill's methods of diminishing the vote for state candidates of the united labor party Is to start a sham rival organisation. The first of these will meet InElmlra , June IS. It has taken the name of the union labor party , which Is suspiciously like that of the united labor party. The conference being hold at Elmlra the democratic henchmen of Gov ernor liill in that city , his home , can give the movement a boost In point of numbers. The union labor party , it is said , will call a state convention on the same day as the united labor party and will seek ta P't some of Its delegates. It Is now the programme to have the union labor party declare at Its state convention tnat the time has not yet come for the laboring man to run a state ticket and ret use to run one. This will bo done to discredit the nomina tions by the united labor party. Democratic politicians view Dr.McGlynn's lecture tour with alarm , believing that Henry George clubs and labor party associations will spring up wherever no goes. Members of the labor party acknowledge that McGlynn Is their agitator and say that ilio members of the united labor party will follow him and organize their political associations In all the places ho visits. The Art Preservative. BUFFALO , N Y.Juno 0. The thirty-fifth annual convention of the International Typo graphical union began Its session hero to-day. The forenoon was occupied by the work of the committee on credentials. In the after noon President Almeson , of Nashville , de livered his annual address. He congratu lated the convention on the progress made In the past year and the cheerful outlook for the future. Of the strike fund ho said : "It Is a mooted question whether the fund , as it exists now , is not productive of more Injury than benelit. There can be no question that ast year In many Instances the fund nnd not a just demand was a potent factor in asking an advance , and If the fund had been allowed an Immense number of men would have been thrown out of employment. The executive council , therefore , determined to withhold aid except In extraordinary cases. " Of the question of stereotype plates , which promises to glvo rise to the greatest amount of discussion by the convention , the president said that perhaps the union never had been con fronted with such an intricate and difficult question , and that whether it was for good or 111 could only bo determined by tlms. Of the nine-hour law the president said it was the most Important question and would affect book and Job printers most , but whether the time was ripe to pass upon It the union must decide. In his opinion the coming year would have Important niattets enough to deal with without this and he would suggest Its post ponement to a more convenient season. Of apprentices the president said : "This timeworn - worn subject Is still with ns. The resolution prohibiting subordinate unions from recog nizing apprentices on morning papers , who may hereafter be Illegally placed thereon , has not been heartily acquiesced in , amount ing In cases to a non-obsnrvanco. A strange paradox Is that employers who sutler from Incompetent workmen place obstacles in the way of remedying the evil. " Committees ou sterotype plates aud on.bor- . rowlng and loaning matter were appointed. Tlio law making the Craftsman the olllclal organ of the body was repealed. Labor's Bills In Congress. WASHINGTON , June 0. The national legis lative committee of the Knights of Labor has submitted to the general executive board n report of their labors during the short session of the Forty-ninth congress. It is a lone document describing at length tho'measurea that had the support of the coraulttee during the session and criticising sharply the failure of congress to pass a number of bills brought forward by the house labor committee. The letter car riers' eight-hour bill , says the report , was antagonized by bprluger In favor of a bill known as the trade dollar bill a bill In the Interest of speculators. The letter carriers' bill would have put Into the pocket of the letter carriers , In the shape of reduced hours , a million and a quarter of dollars. The trade dollar bill actually put into the pockets of speculators ยง 4,000,000 , every dollar of which was tilched from tiie poor by the law that demonetized it The report uives an account of the many attempts made by Representative Willis to get the Blair educational bill before tlia house , and says ho was ruled out of order in an underhanded way , while Hnrinpor was acting as speaker pro torn , and when tlio'reg ular speaker was In the chair was an tagonized by Springer by points of order. "It Is the opinion of the friends of the measure that the commit tee on education was packed against tbo bill by the speaker. " The Inter-stato commerce law next receives the attention of the com mittee , and of It they say : "Realizing the fact that such a measure had to be passed the railroad Interests of the country set about to circumvent the Reagan bill , which was sim ple , plain law , easy of Interpretation , and positive In Its provisions to pro tect the Interest of the people. They had introduced into the senate the Cullora bill a bill that contained twenty-two sections , every one of them admitting ot doubtful construction , so much so that no ono in either senate or home was able to Interpret It" The committee , in accordance with these principals , supported the Reagan bill as baring the least legal technicalities , and went solar as to ask the president U veto the bill which had been passed. The committee up to this date has not seen any arguments on the part of their critics that have caused them to recede from the position they assumed on this question. The report comment * severely upon the failure of con Kress to pass some ot the Important land for feiture bills , and says tome very crooked work was done by land attorneys and shysterlng lawyers In connection will the forfeiture of some of the grants , and that In many instances settlers had beer duped and defrauded by these men who had been posing as their friends , and Ir several Instances have succeeded In getting heveral thousand dollars tn notes fron ieople located on lands. The report say : that the same attorneys are without inllu ence In the war of securing legislation , am hopes that this statement may be tht means of saving some ol the settleri from being gulled in the future. li speaking of the Kloux City A ht Paul railway land grant , the commlttei says : ' \Voarolntormodtbai a former gov eminent official by the paine of Judge haw rence , wno Is a resident of Ohio , had beei encaged by the settlers on this grant at a fei of f 1 per acre , making the sum total of thi fee of SbO.OOO m 4a the committee succeeded In getting the bill through. " In concluslonjttwcommittee says : "As early as the 1st of February we'wero In formed that In order to Mctrre action on sev eral of the measuies that the commute' * was Interested in. and which bad been system atically boycotted by the committee ou rules of the home , wo must secure the consent of that committee. When wo found every one of the measures wo were Interested in were embalmed In this famous place of Interment , wo proceeded to Inter view members of the committee. " The state ment goes on to detail the satisfactory re sults ot their Interviews with Randall and Carlisle , and adds : "Tho speaker of the house was the absolute dictator ot GO.OOO.UOO people as far as any lezlslatlon they desired was concerned durinir the last four weeks of congress , and the rest of the body might just as well have been at homo with their constituents. " The committee says the next general assembly shoiildclcct no more than three great public measures ono for postal telegraph , auother to devise means to use the surplus revenues toward removing tlio present Interest-bearing debt , and the third an amendment to the constitution that the senate bo elected by a direct vote of the people. . . Glbbonn on Labor. NKW YOIIK , Juno 0. The Commercial Ad vertiser says : Cardinal Gibbons refuses to say anything ot his Intended action on the labor question , lieforo giving hs views to the public , he will call the Council of eleven archbishops ot the American Catholic hcir- archy , and then decisive steps will be takeu , which will icavo no doubt of the church's at titude. From a close companion of the car dinal a Commercial-Advertiser reporter re ceived some intimation regarding the prob able character of the forthcoming pronuncla- mcnto. The right of laboring men to com bine for their common benolit will be con ceded , and all such lawful combinations will receive the blessings ot the church , but Catholics will be forbidden to take part In boycotts or other infringements of the rights ot citizens , and they will be forbidden to join any organization which practices Intimi dation , whether of a violent or other charac ter. No Catholic will bo permitted to become a member of any order which binds a mem ber to secrecy or blind obedience to the dictates ot leaders. It will also be proposed that a closer relation be brought about be tween Catholic members of labor organiza tions and the Catholic clergy. The object of this Is to prevent Catholic laboring men from drifting off from the church on account of their association with Protestants and to keep them from adopting theories which are antagonistic to the church's dogmas. From the source mentioned above It was also luatned that Cardinal Gibbons' position In the McGlynn case Is simply tills : lie likes McGlynn personally and docs not condemn him for advocating general property In land , for that doctrine lias not yet been pro nounced heretical by the pope speaklng ex- cathedra. But ho does blame Dr. McGlynn for rebelling against his ecclesiastical supo- rlor and dabbling In politics to an extent un becoming his priestly character. Labor Organizers' \Vace0.
