The Labor Situation ar New Orleans, New Orleans, Dec. 20 ro-daj has been a repetition of yesterday along the levee. Business is at a standstill there, Early this morning all along the line the white stWewmen removed their lools from their respective vessels. Some did it of thir own accord and some ivere told to dp so by the agents. WitH two exceptions tlie levee between Race and Second streets was as quiet as a gfave- yard. The Btevedore for the Harrison firm informed that company that ne in tended to quit the business. Conse quently he figured today as his j own stevedore, and the first thing he diq was to order the white ecrewmen to re move their tools from the steariiship Traveller after the men had refuajed to work. The tools were quietly removed, they seeming a little nervous in doing so in the presence of over 100 negroes, who were waiting: to be put to worfnd several expressed themselves very for cibly against the city administration and police for their preference tor hegro labor, pne cf the stevedores ma je the following explanation of the situation: "Itislthe white longshoremea'sf,ass ciation j that is running us out of the business.

SEIfATE,' ,x i Wasbxsqton, DepJ 0. The Senate went into executive session to-day im mediately after ifs meeting and re called the confirmation of Charles D. Clark, nominated to b District judge for the Eastern and the Middle district of Tennessee on the 17th inst., and who was confirmed Tuesday;. This prevents the issuance of a cbmnrisBiorl to the recently confirmed iudgeand leaves the case still pending before the Senate. The fact that the Senate should go into executiye session almost the mo ment the Bessionj was convened, indi cated that something unusual had occurred, and as scon as the doors were closed Senator Harris made a statement to the Senate. He; said that the nomina tion of Mr. Clark iad been endorsed by the bar of Tennessee, and the confirma tion had promptly followed, so that there might be no delay in falling the vacancy existing on the oencn lesier day, however, Senator Harris said he re ceived an myitatipn to can upon tne At torney General, and that ofhcial laid be fore him charges tnatnaa ueen preierrtnr against the farm of which sir. Clark wasx a member, Dy a prom inent legal firmj in New York city. Tnese charges were that the Tennessee firm had been guilty or unprofessional conduct in accepting a fee on both 6ides rvf the same case.! The Attorney Gen eral thought that charges of this nature coming from a reputable firm should be investigated before a commission snouia be issued to the nominee, and ' in this both Senator Harris and Senator Hate agreed. . The case was referred to the txmmis- tee on the Judiciary, with instructions to investigate and report, ana mean-i while the Attorney General was in formed of the action of the Senate and instructed to hold up t he jsom mission Then the doors were re-opened and leg-j islative business was resumed. j j After the introduction and reference of bills and committee reports legisla tive business was! again suspended and the remainder of the day was given up entirely to the ceremonies attending the reception of the Btatues of. John btart and Daniel Webster, presented to Con4 gress by the State of New Hampshire and to day unveiiea m statuary nau. Bv special resolution of the Senate,his Excellency, Governor Smith, of New Hampshire, and btajf and members of, his couocil, Messrs. Ray and Blunt, were admitted to the j privileges of the floor and occupied seats on the Republican side of the chamber. The ceremonies began with the com munication ofc the Governor, which was laid before, the Senate, after which Sena tor Perkins called up the resolution giv ing the thanks of Congress to the peo ple of the State who had thus made the presentation of the statues to Congress. Remarks were then made by the fol lowing Senators Son the Stark resolution: Senators Gallinger, Proctor, Hawley, DuBois and Chandler, when the resolu tion was adopted. j Sjenator Hoar offered the Webster reso lution and remarks cn that were made by I Senators Chandler, Hoar, Morgan, Morrill, eDavis, Piatt, Cullom, Mitchell of Oregon, Lodge and Gallinger.

Stocks and Bonds In New York The Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. York, Dec 20. Business was more active at the Stock Exchange to day, sales aggregating 179,000 shares. The increase, however, was due only to revival of speculation in Sugar, the sales of thef8tock alone having amounted to 3,900 shares. At the start the stock was heavy and fell If to 88 . The weakness was the result of Washington advices tha. the efforts making to take away theaffferential duty now endorsed by refiners will be successful. At the last decline the buying orders were executed byijrms with inside connections and the stock jumped to 90 and closed at 90. In thefcther Industrials Rubber was strong, Consolidated Gas and Chicago Gas erratic and Cordage weak. Consoli dated Gas jumped- to 135 on the reiteration of the etories current for some days past that the com pany - and secured control of the Edst River Gas concern. Insiders rer f used; to either confirm or deny the sto rie3. ' Late in the day the stock ran off to 132 to 133 on realizations, Chicago Gas moved up to 2i, and fur a time dis played great strength. Near the close the sock dropped to 71 i on the revival of thf reports about a reduction in the dividend. Rubber sold up 2i to 44 on reports of good earnings and the likeli- hoooyof a dividend on ihe stock in the early future, x Cordage dropped to 6 for the common and to 13 fir the preferred. notwithstanding the omcial announce that the interest money on the b nds due Jar.uarv 1st is in bank. The decla ration of the regular dividends on the Vanderbilts induced covering of shJrt contracts in Like Shore, and the stock moved 2 per cent to 133 on light transactions. No xtra payments were ordered as in 1893, when holders of Michigan Central and Canada Souther received 1 and I per cent, respectively in addition to the regular a ami It per cent) The railway list yielded i to 3 per cent,', but when La Re Shore rose to 138 ther was an improvement of i to If per centi, Reading being most prominent in the recovery. Spi-culation left off steady to firm, except for Chicago Gas. which was weak. Net changes show gains of i to If per cent. ChicagoJ&as lo-t f per cent, on the day. In the" inactive list Rubber gained 2, Consolidated Gas li acd Pittsburg and Weetern preferred 2i to 31 J for the day. The bond market was irregular. Sales of listed stock aggregated 93.00J shares; . unlisted, 86,00. Chicago, Dec. 0. Three-eights of a cent was the modest range within which wheat priced were confined to-day. The &calpers managed to win and lose c several times during the session, but it was poor picking for the privilege holders. The tone was yery irregular, but as there was very little outside trade, the advances and declines were unim portant. New York eold somewhat near the close, which set the, final etamp of weakness on the market. Trade in the car lot branch of the market was .quiet, prices firm and about ic higher. Corn was lower to day, although the weather predictions were adverse to the movement. The trade, was mainly of a local character and was even light at that. Cash corn was weak at about yes terday's prices. Oats chaneed but little, the business beiig dull and without feature. Sym pathy with wheat and corn caused a firm ing or weakening in the tone, but prices varied to only a small extent. Cas oats were unchanged to ic lower, an easy feeling being manifest. To an advance in hogs at the etook yards to-day product was indebted for a firm and higher opening. The market drazced during the balance of the ses sion, receding late in the day on offer ings by a prominent losal professional. The clcse was 2c better better than yes terday for January pork and January ribs and a fraction oyer that day for January lard. JUDGE C. D. CLARK VINDICATED j BY STRONG- TESTIMONY.
