The board of directors of this company there
upon had a copy of the correspondence
above Riven made and transmitted to lloxlc.
lirst vice president and general manager at
ot. Louis , with instructions to use every en
deavor to continue the operation of the road
and committed the whole matter to his hands ,
loxio's overtures , made through the gov-
rnors of Missouri and Kansas , who stated
hat thr.y found no cause for a strike , were
ejected by your order. This and subsequent
orrespondence between him and Powdcrly
\ro well known to you , and lloxlo's conrso
ias been confirmed by the board and the mat
er Is still in his hand * . I nm therefore in
truded by the board to refer you to him as
ts continuing representative In the premises.
. am directed to add , In behalf of the board ,
hat In its Judgment , so Ionic as this company
s kept from performing Itsciiarter duties , Its
msincss Is done , if at all , not under the con
ditions of law which are common to all citi
zens , but only at the will of a law-breaking
'orco. Any negotiations with such a
'orco would 1 > nnwlso and useless.
I'ho terms made with it would not
i a settlement of the dlfliciillies , but
triumph of force ovet the law of ( lie land.
[ t will mean nothing In tlieir Judgment but
low troubles and worse. This is the result of
their experience. In the meantime the gov-
'rnors proclamation enjoins upon your men
to return to duty , and this company's con-
United adveitlsement offers them employ
ment on tlm same terms as heretofore. The
board further suggests that Inasmuch as your
'inter assumes In your communication tlio
responsibility for these men and power and
lontrol over them , the following lioni tlio
governor of Missouri Is expressive of their
luty and your own : "i wain all persons ,
whether they bo employes or not , agonist
Interposing any obstacle whatever In the way
of said resumption , and with firm rcllanco
upon the couraec , good sense and law-abiding
spirit of the public , i hereby call upon all
good citizens to assist in cariying out the
purposes of this proclamation ; and I also
iicreby pledge tiio whole power of tlio state ,
so fin as It may bo lawfully wielded by Its
chief executive ofllccr.tosustain the company
and Its servants In said resumption and to
restrain and punish all that may oppose It. "
When this proclamation shall bo obeyed and
when the company's late employes snail de
sist fiom violence and Intcrlercneo with Its
[ rains , tlio board hereby assures them that
they will find themselves met by lioxie In the
spirit In which ho has heretofore successfully
avoided rupture and cause for just complaint
and In that just and liberal spirit which
should always exist between employer and
employed. "IJy order of tlio board. Ycry re

1'owdorly last night sent a reply to Jay
Gould , saying the statements made in Gould's
reply was even wortliv of more consideration
than could bo given to them at this moment ,
and continuing : "Tho public interest and
tlio interest of botli parties to tills controversy
will not bo served by a longer continuation
of the strike , if there is a shadow of a chance
to bring It to a speedy termination. With
that Idea In view wo prefer to let this discus
sion rest , and allow this mutter to bo decided
upon its merits by an Impartial committee of
scvon selected as Indicated in our communi
cation of this morning. Let them pro
cced to adjust tlio difference ! ! ,
and , having settled that matter
and sot In motion the Idle wheels ajid hands ,
Wo hayo no objections to that tame commlt-
tee'revicwing our actions in tlio matter , and
we are willing to bo judged , and to receive
censure at tlieir hands , if necessary , for any
shortcomings that they may deem us guilty
of. Tlio needs of tlio hour lomdre that tills
strike terminate speedily. It that is done ,
tlio oilier matters can bo very readily attended
to. " Gould received tlio letters in bis own
hands and conversed very pleasantly will ;
the messenger of the board , McDowell , and
said that ho could not decide the matter , bill
that ho would lay the letter bcforo the board
of directois on Monday morning.

ST. L.OUIH . , March ST. Chairman Irons , of
tlio executive committee of district assembly
No. 101 , when shown tlio statements of Pow
derly and Turner , telegraphed trom New
York and Philadelphia , said : "It is not
necessary for mo to gis-o any authority for
anything I have said. Wo don't have to bo
guided by what Powderly says. The general
connnitteo has no power here , and cannoi
como hero and settle trouble unless we re
quest It. "
When Turner's statement , In which ho declared
clared Irons as one of the men who are doing
tno order great injustice , was shown him , he
said : " 1 liavo nothing to say about that
and I will not bodrawn Into a newspaper con
troversy with Powderly or Turner. They
have no right to denounce mo in this mat
ter. "
"Hut yon Hindu the statement complainci
off" was asked.
"What 1 said , " replied Irons , "was that if
tiio fitilko was not settled it
might extend all over the country.
And 1 will tell you moro than
1 said , and tnnt Is , that It may extend to all
knights , all over the country. "
In addition to the dispatch from Pittsburg ,

companv of United Stated Infantry liai
passed through that city en route from New
York to this city , news was received hero
this morning that two companies had ief
Columbus , Ohio , destined for tit. I.ouis. i'
is understood that tlio Columbus detachmcn
will bo placed In position to afford pie
tcctlon to Kast St. holds Interests , if tiicii
services should become necessary and the ac
tion is taken as a precautionary measnrcbasc (
upon Information that the destruction o
property had been thicatcncd. Tlio mayor o
thai city had already been called upon to fur
nisli piotectlon for tlio property of the rail
road companies , and lias signified his inabll
Ity to do so. six mon being all that ho had a
his disposal. Tlio county authorities will bo

nor of Illinois will bo asked to protect tin
companies' property in that state.
A. A. Talnmdgo , general manager of the
Wabash railroad , received a telegram yestoi

that his application to tlio United States
circuit court for protection of thopropoit )

AtlOl : * > tills illuming a freight train of
twenty cars , made up in tlio .Missouri 1'ncUio
yards , tuid under protection of a guard of po
lice , made Its way westward through the city
uninterrupted ny any violence from the
strikers. No crowd had gathered at the yaids
and none to any extent at any of the cross-
Ings.At .
At 1 : M this afternoon the Vandalla tt > ad In
Kast tit. I.ouis succeeded In making up a
( relght tiain of eleven ears. A largo crowd
of about TOO men were standing around the
depot and , upon a movement made by an
Ohio it .Mississippi freight train as if to start
out , they made n rush to intercept
Its profit's. * , and thus left tlio tracks
around tlio depot clear , The Vandalla
engineer , who was all ready to start , saw his
chance and , with a lull neud of steam , stait-
ed awcy. One of the crowd saw the move and
running ahead , turned a switch signal across
the track , expecting tlio engineer to stop when
ho * aw the track blocked , but the engineer
turned on steam and crabbing througli the
signal , the train was oil' and In n few min
utes was out of sight.
After accompanying a train as far as the
city limits the police returned to tlio Mis
souri Pacific yards and , under their guard ,
a second train was made up , widen succeeded
In passing through tlio city under cir
cumstances similar to those attending the
progress of the first train , " The yardmaster -
master of the iron Mountain railroad yards
in thlscty | , aided by a force of poiico , made
up and started out a freignt train of eleven
cars over that road this morning. Thoio
were no attempts at Inteifcrenco on the. part
of tiio strikers and no excitement attended
the train's departure , the crowds at the yards
and along the tracks being of small dimen
sions.
At 4.10 : this morning a lire started In two
box cars standing upon ilio tracks of tlio Iron
Mountain yards near the depot. An alarm
was Immediately turned In , but before the
tire department arrived the cars had been
burned , and the liio communicated with the
depot , which was also destroyed The loss
amounts to 535,000. Nothing is known of
the origin of the lire , but it is Mipposcd to be
InrPiuJTary.

strnctlons had boon sent from Washington
for the United States troops to aid In the pro
tection of property at St. Louis nnd that If
any troops are now on their way to the city
it is only a natural movement of recruits on
their way to join regiments to which they
have been assigned. Tlio labor committee of
the house hold a nrotracted session to-dav ,
which was entirely consumed in a discussion
of the western strikes and the feasibility of
formulating and reporting for passage to the
house of some measure or measure * that
will provo efficacious In relieving the strained
relations of the strikers and employer
now existing. No formal agreement has yet
been reached.

GAI.VKSTO.V. Tex. , March 88. A News'
/poelal from Tcxarkaiia says : At n mass
ncetlng of citizens last Thursday nlglit
uany Knights of Labor were present , and
he local executive committee publicly cx-
irci-sed their intention of helping the eitl-
: ens In keeping tlio peace and protecting
all road property , 'n order to test their pro-
'osslons the county officers , witli a number
f leading cltl/.ens , visited the round house
f tlio lion Mountain road yesterday and pot
> ut an engine. Tlio sheriff and posse boarded
lie locomotive , as did also u knight. They
eon had steam up and were about to run thu
iiglno out of the yard , when a a mob of about
live hundred strikers confronted them.
: autht ! tlio switchman and olllcer on guard
iy their necks , threw them aside and then
witched the cusino on a sldo track. Tills
iiitnme lias resulted In the withdrawal of all
onlidcnce from tlio knights , as it
ivas directly contrary to the proies-
ions of good will made by the
ocal committee. The citizens have resolved
o obtain state aid. Sheriff Hamilton has
elegraplicd to Governor Hughes asking for
nilltla and lias been authorized to call out
ho Gate City Guards , of this city. Tlio
; uards have been notified to hold themselves
n readiness to respond at short notice. Many
it the better class of knights deprecate tlio
course being pursued , and there Is no doubt
'hat many withdrawals from tlio organization
ivill take place. The citizens are on tlio alert
il any further nets of violence will bo re
sisted by force.

at Cheap Kates.
PORTLAND , Maine , Marcli 28. [ Special
Telegram. ] A decided sensation has been
created In labor circles by tlio publication
yesterday of the following article in tlio
Express : An attempt is quietly being made
to Introduce Chinese labor Into Maine to tlio
diplaceincnt of some 0C03 to 8,000 Malno pee
ple. Tlio first proposition came from the
secretary of an association having its head-
qu alters in San Francisco. One linn that
lias in Its employ in the stale and elsewhere
about 0,000 hands was offered that number of
Chinese laborers at S3 a week for the men
and § 1 for board money. It was added the
San Francisco association would expect the
linn to build sheds to accommodate tbo men
witli bunks and two blankets to three men.
It was said the men would bo selected from
among the most intelligent of the laborers
now on the Pacific const , and while com
pletely ignorant of tlio business in which it
was proposed to have them engage , the secre
tary said within n month they would bo able
to Imltato any merely mechanical movement
they had seen others peiform. The secre
tary said : "Great numbers of our clients
have been thrown out of work by labor move
ments and agitation on the Pacific coast and
it is felt necessary for several thousand of
them to go east where the people have less
bitter feelings in regard to them and less
objection to'their presence. " To tills letter
tlio linn in question returned a vigorous
answer , rctuslng to entertain the proposition ,
but it is not known what disposition other
interested parties will make of U.

iVAsntNOTo.v , March 2S. [ Special Tele
gram. ] In nnny circles the lmpreloii prevails -
vails that the president will not allow the
virtual vacancy In tlifi office of judge advocate
ccncrnl to exist much longer. To all Intents
and purposes General Swalin Is on the retired
list now , and Ills successor should bo named
without delay. In this connection n local
paper , which devotes considerable space to
military affair * , has the following to say : It
Is not generally known that Lieutenant Colonel
nel Henry 13. Mlsner , Tenth Infantry , who
left liero last week titter n short visit , Is a
candidate for the position of judRO advocate
general , with soinu pros-peel of success.
Colonel Mistier was a yoiinu practlcliiR
lawyer In 1M11 , when he wasappointed captain
In the new Eighteenth Infantry , the loulmcnt
which was commanded by Colonel CarrhiK-
ton. of Ohio , tbo only full colonel appointed
then who was without any previous experi
ence In the army. Colonel Mlsncr was n
friend of President Cleveland In their early
law school days , and was wnrmly received by
his old-time irlend when ho called at the
white house. It is believed that something
will bo done speedily to icllve the judge ad
vocate department from tlio anomalous con
dition it stands In in respect to Its head. In
that event , Colonel'Mlsuer's friends think
his prospects for the nomination arc good.
THE CltAI'I.AlN'S 1'J.AIX SPOKKN 1'KAYEItS.
It is understood that Representative Mor
risen of Illinois' ' , who is an intimate friend of
the llev. Dr. Mllbnrn , the blind chaplain of
the house , has intimated to him as delicately
as possible that it would bo well lor him to
make his prayers in future more general In
their terms. Ho told Mr. Mllbnrn that scnsa-
tlonlsts would turn hla prayers into reflec
tions upon the house , and that there was al
ready some uneasiness among the members
on that account. Dr. Milburn Is the lirst
chaplain of the house who has at
tracted attention to himself aside from
the priestly nature of his calling ,
lie is a man of _ broad culture and
high intellectual attainment. It is ho who
Colonel Morrison in caucus referred to as "a
man who feared God , hated the devil and
voted the democratic ticket. " Dr. Milburn
is a general favorite in thoMiouso with mem-
beis of both parties and religious belief , but
his recent pointed allusions to adulterers and
stock gamblers have not been relished by the
score of men to whom they apply , and for
that reason the aid of Colonel Moriison , as
leader of the house , 1ms been invoked to pre
vent their repetition In the future.
TJ1I > J'llKSIPJCN'T'fl DAY OI'P.
The president returned on the jato evening
train from the north' . Bills' determination to
lake a day's holiday > vftli his'Albany friends
at the Ducking cliib at Magnolia , MU. , was
not made known fb' any 0110 previous to his
departure Friday evening. . There is no rea
son why the fact of his coing should bo criti
cised on account of the .sickness of Secretary
Manning. If Mr. Manning had taken a little
'
more rest he mlglit 'have escaped his present
attack , and unless the president
takes more rest than he has
been taking ho will be In danger of some
thing of a similar character. The country
ought to rejoice whenever it hears that the
president Is taking n "day off. " The presi
dent seems greatly to enjoy the congressional
dinners that ho Is giving each week on

DAKOTA DOOMED IX THE HOUSE.
There seems but little prospect of Dakota
being admitted as a state at this session of
congress. The democrats of the territory tea
a considerable number have written to the
members of the committee on territories oh
Jectlng to admission on the forty-sixth paral
lel , and asking that the line of the Missouri
river bo followed Instead. It Is the disposi
tion of the honso territorial commit
tee to adopt ttliis latter suggestion , and
they will either lay before the house a bill to
this effect or report adversely upon the pen-
ate bill , admitting only the .southern half. As
It is highly probable the house will ho guided
by the committee's actions , no matter which
of these two courses It may adopt , the until
ral result will bo to tlnow the entire subject
back Into thn bonate , where the most vigorous
measures will bo necessary to bring It to the
front again.

WASIIJ.VOTOX. Maich 27. The chaplain' :
opening prayer Oils morning was as follows :
" ( ! lvo ear , oil God flf Jacob , and awaken us
to see the danger which threatens the civil
ized world a revolution more tremendous
than any of which hstory | tolls , In wlilcl
scenes of terror may bo enacted in every
capital of I'uropeand America. Kor long the
few have mastered the many , because the >
understood the open secret tools for then
that can nso them bill now the many have
learned the secret of organization ,
drill and dynamite. Cause the ricli oi
the world to understand that the time
has couio for grinding , selfish monopoly to
cease , that corporation * may get souls ii :
them , with justice .honor , conscience am :
human kindness. Teach the rich men of this
country that great fortunes uro lent them by
Thc'o for oilier purposes than to build and
decorate palaces , to t'onnU pilvato collections
ot art , to stock wine cellar * , to keep racing
studs and yachts ami Und better company
thau hostlers , ( -rooms and jockeys , pee !
M'llors and bookmakers. Teach them , oh
Cod , that It Is Thee * who has given them
power to get these * fortunes , that it is to
provo them , to know what In In their hearts ,
whether they will keep Thy commandments
or no , and that the e commandments RIO ,
thou hliult love the Lord thy God with ail thj
heart and thy neighbor us tliytelf ; that It the
rich men of this land keep ihe.so command'
incuts , the poor will follow the nxamph' , and
wo at least will bo saved from the ( lavs of
tribulation that art ) fast coming on all the
world. Help us. oh God , and Rave us. "
Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio asked iinanlmou
consent that the prayer bo printed in the
Itreont.
Mr. James objected , remarking sotto voce
to a gentleman who asked him to withdraw
the objection , thnt it was made because the
prayer was an Incendlaiy speech.
The silver bill came up and the dcbatq was
opened byMr. Unlbcrtson. lie was a frleni
oi bllvcr and In favor of placing it on the
same piano with gold. Ho would make the
coinage of silver free , and he would pass a
law compelling' the treasury depaitment to
pay thn surplus on the public debt.
Air. Long bald Urn bimplo common sen so
thing to do was to call a halt. U'o had at
abundance of bllver ; more than the clients o
the administration could force Into circula
tion. Give silver coinage n present or pros
pective rest. Ih the Intou&t of bl-metalisin
iu the Inteicst of silver ibtlf , It was time to
ast an anchor and take bearing ? , to stmiend
or at least tlx a time for suspension of silver
oinngo , and then to see If some Interim-
lonal arrangement with the other great com-
nerclal nations could not be made.
Mr. Dorgan then made a strong plea for the
stabllshinent ot n Mnclo gold standard and
advocated the suspension of coinage under
he Hland act , declarln ? that the so-called
lebt-payinir dollar was In reality n debt-
callng dollar nothing but eighty cents
vorth of bullion with falsehood stamped
ipon It.
Mr. HaUcll said that thn pponlohad spoken
n no uncertain voice against the suspension
of silver coinage , and the question was
vhetlier congress , their servant , should heed
heir voice or legislate In the Intoirst of
IKISO who were seeking to enrich themselves
atthoexpeiii-o of the working class. The
ttoppaeoof silver contango meant the stag-
lation of trade , paralysis i > f labor and an In *
llctlon of all the evils which must arise from
ho derangement of the Industiles of the
country.
Mr. ,1. M. Taylor of Tennessee briefly

Thn KiiRltsh Political Situation.
LONDON , March SS. [ Special Cablegram ]
The cabinet meeting , held after nearly n
01 tnlnht's interval , leaves the situation ts-
entlally unchanged. The Interval has been
employed In sliomums offoits to mitigate the
opposition of Cliambcilaln and Trevclynn to
tladstone's Irish scheme. These cffoits have
( sul ted In total failure. The announcement
yesteidny that Chamberlain and Trevclynn
uul linally icsigncd , and the queen had ac
cepted their resignations , caused but little
comment , as It was' looked for. It is under-
teed definitely to-night that Hon. James
Stanslield radical member for Halifax , will
liavo the presidency ot the local goveinmcnt
board , and the Karl of Dallianslo will bo sec
retary for Scotland , the Jatter , however , not
being seated in the cabinet. Gladstone , it is
reported , laid befoio his colleagues , Includ
ing Chambcilain and Tiovelyan , Friday , a
brief statement of his home rule proposals ,
llather more than usual pains weio taken to
picvcntn disclosure , but a strong Impression
irovaljs that the measure will provo even
broader than lias been supposed. The Times
believes lie will pioposo a statutory parlia
ment in Dublin , placed In a position of
piactlcal Independence , with a wide range of
leulslatlvc authority and entire control over
homo administration , Including law and
police. The scheme icsei ves to the Imperial
govcinment little muio than the command
of the armed foiccsof the crown. Tills ac
count tallies with the known views of the
men with whom Gladstone has chielly con
sulted , but nfllrms nothing but the veto
power , which the Parnellltes regard as vital.
Any scheme which limits the jurisdiction of
nn Irish parliament , or piohlblts to Ireland
any of these powrrs which the American
constitution prohibits to the states , will bo
accepted by thn Painellltes as an Installment
only. Yet ( ihulstono and Morley have broad
ened their scheme cxpiessly In order to re-
Itcvo the imperial'iiarliaim'iit from Irish ob-
btructlon. " * "
OPPOSITION TO run oTiir.n HIJANCH
of Gladstone's project , In voting a loan for
buying out the landlords , has so steadily in-
cicased that lie has been strongly urged to
abandon It and propose homo rule In its
naked simplicity. Laboncherc again leads
oil in this movement , which was started In
order to secure precedence for the Irish par
liament over laud purchase , but has now be
come a demand for homo rule only. The
Standard retorLsthat an undisguised propo
sal to place the landlords at the mercy of n
tenant legislature would leave Gladstone
alrrto t altni'erln liOJoboy with .the Parnell-
Hcs. " Gladstone , "in the meantime , "adheres
to his original purpose. If ho has made any
concession it refers only to the order in
which his proposals shall be laid bcforo par
liament. His announcement that ho Intends
to Introduce a bill for the future
government of Ireland Is inter
preted to mean that land purchase
is postponed , but 1 believe tills is erroneous ,
if oaly because it would involve Morley's re
tirement. Gladstone has resolved to stander
or fall on the whole scheme. Ho has pre
ferred to part with Ills colleagues rather than
modify it. It is not likely ho will mutilate
it in deference to hostility which lie still be
lieves lie can overcome. The faithtnl Spectator
tater tells him phmiply that homo rule with
out purchase would mean the throwings over
of all the moral responsibilities of England
to loyal Ireland. The radical revolt which
Labourchoro heads will not go totiio point of
voting against expropriation. Bright , who
was industriously represented as having
been talked over by Gladstone , remains nn
opponent of the whole scheme. Gladstone's
illness lias not been serioiw. Fuither post
ponement of the date of the introduction of
the Irish measure until April 8 gives moro
time for the cjitlet , formidable agitation
against homo rule which Chamberialn and
others arc prosecuting.
TIII : DissATisi'ir.i ) wixo.
Already Lord Hartlr.gton , Mr. Gnschcn ,
Sir Henry James , and other prominent mem
bers of the dissatisfied wing of the liberals ,
are consulting as to what programme ) they
will propose should they bo called upon to
attempt the formation of a government. Mr.
Goschon is eager to oust the present govern
ment at all hazards , and it may be said of
him with ccitalnty , what Is believed also of
the others of tins faction , that lie would ac
cept without question the plan of coalition
with the liberal-conservative minister and u
platform conservative ) with llartlngton as the
premier. The ( lllllculty of the schema Is so
immense that a judicial estimate shows that
trust can bo placed in its tinal success. At
present the parties existing may bo onnmcr-
ated : Gladstone , liberal ; Darlington , lib
eral : Chamberlain , radical ; Parnellltus and
pure lory.
A number of Scotch members will follow
Trovolyan out of a soil of peisonal devotion ,
and this will incidentally htrengtlien Cham
berlain's icvolt. Notliiiii'can hafely bo lire-
dieted of what will follow ( i defeat of Glad
stone and thu dissolution of parliament , ex
cept that ( hero would bo a class of parties ap
pealing to the countiy for support on hair-
split Issues. The prospect is not a cheerful
ono for any Mablogovcrnment resulting from
this uncertainty of policy among the leaders
of the nation , Poriiaps the best evidence of
the probability of a now election Is that the
party managers arc preparing for ono , and
seem to expect It soon , though they are with
everybody vku puz/led over the general confusion -
fusion of the issues. Arcpoitthat gained
some circulation , to the effect that the queen
will not permit Gladstone to dissolve parlia
ment until some dclinilo policy Is. indi
cated by the opposition , lacks piolmbllity ,
and Is not belioved.

equity is the end in view that would stop

The simple fact is , the money required to

used to say , and they wore permitted to buy
to the lop of their bent. The. state stood by
and saw the wrong consummated. Should it
try coercion now the day of full and final
reckoning will only have been deferred.
The New York Evening Post coos so far as
to admit that the coal and Iron industries of
Pennsylvania have been over capitalized ,
and that the struggle to keep alive the capital
that lias been sunk and is practically dead by
advancing the prlco of coal , will bo hi vain ,
This 1 have asserted all along. Wliat 'was
done in Pennsylvania has been done all over
the. country. . . The locomotive king lias been
charged wltii the collection of enormous

courtiers , but the day of inquiry and of reck

intuits of labor arc such that excessive divi y
dends and interest cannot be kept up. Stock
speculation Is in such a condition that week :
