Tho proclamation closes with an appeal to all lawabiding citizens to co-operato with tho authorities in maintaining tho good name of the city.

Tho carpenters' strike is settled. At a conference Wednesday between committees representing the Carpenters' Council and the new lioss Carpenters' Association the journeymen, having satisfied themselves that tho association is able to employ over 4,000 men, agreed to resume work on terms which will be settled by an arbitration committee of threo. An order will be issued to tho journeymen to go to work on all jobs whero the employers aro members of tho Boss Carpenters and Uuilders' Association just as soon as the arbitration judges announce their decision. This decision will probably be announced by Monday, so that by Wednesday live-sixths of the men will be back at work. No union man will, however, be allowed to work for-uny member of the old Carpenters and lluilders' Association until that organization agrees to submit to arbitration as the other employers havo done.

There will be no general strike at the Stock Yards. The Packing llouso Laborers Union decided last night not to Strike at this time.

WASHINGTON, May 1.—In tho Hou^p yesterday tho bill for tho classification of worsted cloths as woolen cloths was passed by a vote of 138 yeas, nays 0, tho Spoakor counting a quorum.

Mr. McKlnloy (O.), from tho committoo on rules, reported a provision providing for tho immediate consideration of tho Senate dependent pension bill, to which tho Morrill sorvlco pension bill may bo ordorod as a substitute the previous question to bo consldored at 4 o'clock.

Mr. Carlisle (Ky.) pro tested against tto adoption of resolutions of this character, which toolt away from the committee of the whole tho right to consider money bills and forced tho Houso to a vote upon them after a brief dobate. It was oBtlmato'd that the Morrill bill Involved an expenditure or *40,000,000and the Senate bill an expenditure of $37,000,000. One of these bills it was proposed to pass afier three hours'dobate. It was not fair to tho members of the House it was not fair to the taxpayers of the country.

Mr. McKlnloy argued that tho resolution was justlfiod undor the preiont code of rules, and not only this, but it was justlfiod by the precodents set by tho House over which tho gentloman from Kentucky (Mr. Carlisle) presided. The resolution was adopted.

Mr. Morrill (Kan.) took tho floor in explanation and Bupport of his bill. This act of justice, he said, had boon too long postponed. If the Government wore to grant aservico pension itBhould irrant it without delay. The total number of persons put upon the pension-roll under the provisions of the bill wore estSmated at 440,000, at tho annual cost of 839,629,000. The object of the bill was to render aid to every soldier over e2 years of ago, to every disabled soldier without regard to ago, and to widows of docoased soldiers who needed assistance.

Mr. Yodor (O.) spolte in favor of the ar-dlom pension bill asked for by tho nloii Veterans' Association, tlio Grand Army of the Republic and the Kansas and Indiana Service Pension Association. Ho charged tho Republicans with not being true to their promises to the soldior.

Mr. Martin (Ind.) spoke in support of the per-dlem pension and an arrearslimitation repeal bill. He asked leave to offer she Grand Army bill as a substitute for the Morrill bill, but Mr. Keri (la.) objected.

Mr. Grosvonor (O.) said that this bill, added to the prisoner-of-war .bill, when it was passod, would add 450,OOD 'names to the pension roil and would make that roll 950,000. The total expenditure- for. pensions would reaoh 8l56i060,d00 pet annum.

Mr. Springer (III.) WaS'6'ppoaed to the bill' because it wak aot 'toii&ed op Just principle to the BoIdibrB."ftgranted the samb pension' to all wflW' 'served ninety days, when the War wW looked upon as a picnic party, as'to a'man win fought for four years.

On motion of Mr Choadlo (fna.) an amendment agreed to in cautrui, was adopted to the Morrill bill reducing the age limitation from 92 to 90 yiiars ol ago.

The Morrill bill wtts agreed t^ as a substitute for the Senate bill—yeu, 16S{ nays, 71.

Mr. Yoder moved to recommit the bill with instructions to the committee on invalid pensions to report back a perdiem poiiBlon bill. The motion to recommit was lost—yeas, 48 nays, 191.

Tho Senate bill as amended by the substitute was then passed—yeas, 179 nays, 70.
