A. L. Hopkins , vice president of the Mis

and ho was invited to cho his
views upon the subject of thu strike ,
in n lather low volco Gould read n state
ment showing In detail thu number of men
employed by tlm Missouri Pacilic system.

14flr : > employes , while thu stilkets numbered

signs of deep feeling , "Ihey seized

.se.'slon ami said : 'No man shall run a train
over that toad. ' ' 1 hat Is what they said , " ex
claimed Gould In a volro exhibiting strong
agitation. "Our loyal employes could not
inn attain and were deprived of power to
earn their wages. That is what followed thu
strike. Foiclblu possession , I can't call it
anything else , something tlm car of Itussla
would hesitate to do with his million soldiers
behind him. "
Gould then recited at length his version of

which has alieady been coveted In these dis
patches
Thu commltteo reassembled ntn p. m , when
the examination ot Gould wns lusumed , Hu
was iniinited of by Mr. Crain as to the ways
ot constiuctlon companies in Issuing stock
to llieni'clves out ol piopoitlon to the work
done , but Gould denied any knowledge of
such daik iind ntiestlonablu transactions , llo
had never lieatil anil didn't bollevu in such
causes ot complaint as Powdeily alluded to
In tlm first day's testimony such as cheating
employes In thu matter ol hospital taxation ,

Icndents and foremen.
Ho was innuiicd of by Outhwalte as to
slock speculations growing out ot tlie.striko
and hu said hu knew nothing of thu kind.
Attur llstciilni ! to Gould's icvlcw of the
confeienno with Powdeily and thu outcome
ot It , Outhwallo asked : "Then yon did not
intend to have , or want , any arbitration or
ellort to settle any dllllciilties with llio
Knights of Labor who had struck or weio out
of your employment at the time was that
the understanding1. ' "
Gould That Is it distinctly.
In answer to a question Gould said the
geneial effect of the pooling system was
beneficial. Without it most of thu railioails
of thu country would be in thu hands ol re-
cehuis tliioiigh ininoiis competition , and the
it-suit would be that wanes would have to be
cut down 50 per eent. This closed Gould's

A Itciucily ro
WASUIXOTOX , Apill 22. The president
to-day sent the following message to congicss
on tlm subject of labor troubles :
To the Senate and House of llepicscnta-
lives :
The constitution Imposes on the president
the duty of recommending to the considera
tion ot concress Irom time to time such
measines ns he shall jiuliju necessaiy and ex
pedient. 1 am so deeply Imptessed with the
impoilanco of Immediately and thoughtfully
meeting the problem which re-cent e\eiils and
present conditions have tliiust upon us , in
volving tlm settlement of disnutus aiisiin :
between our Jabot Ing men and their em
ployers , that 1 am constrained lo
recommend to congtcss legislation
unoti ibis set Ions and piesslng subject.
Under our form of government the vnluo ot
labor as an element ot national prospetlty
should bo distinctly lecognl/.ed , and the wel
fare ot the labot Ing man should buiegauled
as especially entitled lo legislalhe care. In
a country which offers to all its cHi/ons the
highest attainment of social and political
distinction , Its workingmcn cannot justly or
sately bu considered as Inexorably consigned
to tlm limits of a class and entitled to no
attention and allowed no piolest against
neglect. The laboring man , uearlng In Ills
hundan indlspcnsablo eontilbution to our
giowth and piogress , may well Insist with
manly COIIMIIO and as tight , upon tlio same
recognition irom lltoso wiio make our laws
as is accoided lo any other citizen having
valuable Interests In charge : ami his teason-
ublo demand should bu met in such a spirit of
appioziation and fullness as to Induce con
tented and patriotic co-operation In the
achievement of a irrand national destiny.
While the real interests ot labor are not
promoted by resoit to tlireals and violent
niauilestatlons ; and while those who , under
pielcxt of an advocacy of the claims of labor ,
wantonly attacl ; thu lights of capital , and tor
sellish put poses or lo\e of disorder , sow seeds
of violence and discontent , should neither bu
eiicom.igcd nor conciliated. AH legislation
nn tiiu subject should bu calmly ami'deliber
ately undertaken , with no puiposo of satis-
lying niiieasonable demands or gaining
paitlsin advantage. The present condition
ot tlm iel.it ions between labor and capital aio
fat Mom satislactoiy. Thu discontent of llio
employed is dim in a liiruo degree
lo the Clasping and heedless exac
tions ot employers , and the alleired
discrlmiiialions in favor of capllai
Is an object of governinent.il attention. It
must also be conceded that labeling men aio
not nhvays raietul to avoid causeless and un-
justiliabledlstinbancu. Thou < : li iholmpoit-
anco of a better accoid between these inter
ests isappaient , it must bo home In mind
that anv effort in thai diicclioii by llio federal
government must bo gicatly limited by
coiislitntional icstilclloir. Tlieio aio
many giievances which legislation
by congress cannot lediess and many
conditions which cannot by such means bo
icionucd. 1 am satlstied , however , that
something may bu done tinder federal author
ity to piuvent the distuibaiices which so
oflen aiiso by disputes between employer
and employed , ami which at times seriously
Uneaten the business inleiests ot the coun
try. And , In my opinion , the pioper theory
on which to proceed is that of voluntary aibi-
Malion as a means of s'-tlling lhe.su diflictil-
lies. Hut I suggest that instead
of arbitralors chosen at the scat of
llio coullicling claims , and alter
a dispute has arisen , theio be created a com
mission of labor , consisting of tlnee niem-
beis , who shall be regular otlicers of the gov
ernment , charged among oilier duties witli
the consideration and settlement , when pos-
R'blo ' , of nil controversies between labor and
capital. A commission llius oiganlzcd
would have the iids-anliigu of bulng a stable
body , and its members , as they gainedcxpeii-
ence , would constantly Improve in their
ability to deal intelligently and usefully with
the questions which might lie submitted to
them. If aibltiatoisaio chosen lor temporary
ary sci vice , as each case of dispute arises ,
expuiicnco ami lamiliaiity with much
that is involved in the question will
bu lacking. Exlrcmo partisanship and
bias will bo the iiiialilicalions sought on
eitherside , and McquentcomplalntMiit iiiifnli-
nuss and paitlality will be inevitable. Thu
imposition upon llie fedeial com t of duty ns
loieign lo judicial luncllons as the
selection of an aibitrator In such
cases is at least .of doubtful
piojuiety. The establishment by ledeial
autlioiity of such a buieau would bo a just
and sensible leeoiniition of tlio value of la
bor and ot Its rlglit to ho repiesented in tlio
depaitmuiils of Urn Government.
bo far as Its conciliatory ollices had rela
tion to distuibaiices which intutfcicd with
transit and commeico between states ,
Its existence would bo juslllicd under
thu provisions of the constitution , which
gives to cimgicss thu power to legnlato com-
muico with toioign nations and among the
si-veral states ; and In llio Memiont disputes
between laboring men and tholr employers of
less extent , and the consequences ot which
aiocoiilliied within state limits , and tlirealen
domestic violence , tliulnterpositlon of such a
commission might bo tuinleicd upon thu up-
lilleallon of llio lex'islatuio or tlm oxccutivo
ol tlujslatuimdoi the constitutional pi ovlslon
which icqiilies llio general goveinmunt to
piotect each ol thu states against "domestic
violence. " .
It such a commission were fitiily organi/ed
the lisle of tlm loss of popular supptiitund
sympathy , tesultlng Mom thu lelusal to sub
mit to so peaceul ! an Instinmentallty , would
constrain both paitiusto such disputes to In
voke Us Intetturenco and abldu by its deci
sions. Theiu would also bu good icasoii to
hope thai llioery exlsluneu of such
an a'.encv would Invltu api > Iication to
It foradvlco mid counsel , fieijneiitly insiilt-
Ing in tlm avoidance of contention and mls-
niidciftaiidlng. H thoiisotulness of such a
commission is doiibttul , beeausu It might lack
thu power to onloico Its decisions , much en-
coinagument is deiived fiom Urn conceded
mioil that has been accomplished by tlm rail-
load commissioners which have been in or
ganization in many states which , having llt-
llu uioiu than advisory power , have exerted a
most salutary Inlluuneu In tlm settlement of
disputes between conflicting interests.
In July. lb > , by a law of congress , tlm
btiiean ot labor was established and placed In
clmreo-of a commissioner of labor who is
ioiiiied | to collect Intonnatlon upon tlm sub
ject of labor , its lelations with capital , tlm
Iiotits of labor and earnings ot laboring men
anil women , ami the means of piomol-
ing their matetlal , social , intellectual
and moral prosperity , The commission
which I suggest could easily bo
eiigtafted upon llio buieait thus nlieady nr-
cani/.ed by thu addition of two more commis
sioners and by supplementing Uiodutlcs now
Imposed upon It by such oilier powers and
t unctions as would penult the commlssloneis
to actasaiblttatofs , when nccussaty , between
Jaborand capital , under such limitations and
upon such occasions as should be deemed
nioper and useful ; Tlm power should also
bo distinctly conferred upon this bineaii to
invHstigato the causes ot all disputes ns limy
occur , whether submitted1 lor aihltratlon or
not , so that information may always boat
hand to aid legislation on tlm subject when
necessary and desirable.

Mr. Edmunds , agreed that when it adjourned

Tlio bill to provide for the taxation of rail
road grant lands was taken up.
Mr. Van Wyck said the people had given
deep consideration to this subject , and there
was much mystery among them as to w by
railroad companies should hold undisputed
title to millions of acres of land and yet bo
exempted from state and local taxation. The
bill went over and the inter-state commerce
bill was placed before the senate.
Mr. Scwell offcied an amendment covcrlne

toads having through trnftta from points In

It had been read , the question aroMj as to the

knock the leuce down with an axe. Ho was
ordered to desist , when ho assaulted the

his hold , hushed to an outbuilding , and
redlining with a icvolvcr deliberately fired
at Mr. Swett , the shot takins effect in the
right aim and passing tluough the breast.
Stanley then died at Mis. John S. Tull , a
ihiuuhter of Mr. Swett , but missed his aim.
Ho then took aim at the ollicer , but found
himself instantly covered with a levolver ,
Ho was arrested and is now confined In the

deccbsor wns a pait owner of. the Hamburg
Times. The papots filed before the sunalo

bill of charges with the postmaster geueial
under date of May 0 , Ii > b3 , aliening
that Coalbatigh. being pait owner of

reappolnted by President Aiiluir Febiuary

for four yeais ; that the domociats would be
pleased with a change , and the republicans
anticipated it. Then Wisu cited alleged
instances of "offensive pailisanshlp" against
Coalbaugh in local polities , and demanded
his suspension. When these chmces weio
received by the senate committee on posl-
olUccs and postroads , it notified
Mr. Coalbangh of their cliaiactcr and
informed htm that ho would bo given an
opportunity to make such answer thcicto as
ho might doom proper. " .Mr. Coalt > , mgli
availed himself of the oppoitnnlty alloided
liiin , " states the repoit of the committee ,
"and made a specific answer to the ehaigcs
and specifications and forwaided to the sub-
inittccman , who , by the authority ot the com-
mittco , communicated with him , and he
responded on January U last , answeilng
each chaigo sciiatlm and in detail. '

them J. P. Heach , I ) . W. Swlggart , .1. V. San-
born , Mrs. if. If. Arnold , John Towns , 0. W.
Dorri , P. St. Clair , wrote Ictteis which
icaehccl the senate committee , testifying to
Coalbangh's good cliaiacter , capability , satis
factory management of the olllce , and dls-
inovlng the elmrgcs. The committee in clos
ing its report on the case said : "It was for-
tnnatofor the suspended ofllccr that his case
icaehed the commltteo before the executive
department resolved not to place the papers
upon which suspensions are based in its pos
session tor Inspection. The papers In this
case were communicated to the committee by
the ox-postmaster ecneral. This enabled
the committee to intoini the suspended otlicer
of the nature of the charges lodged against
him , and affoided him an oppoitunity to ic.-
spend to the same. The eHVctheiiess of the
suspended olllcci's icsponse to the charges
and specifications piesented to the picsldcnt
and postmaster general will not bo ques-
tloneil by any impaitial mind. Ho did not
lest his defense on his own peisonal denial
nor quality its force by the Intiodiiction ot
counter charges against his accuser. Ho
wont dlicctly to tlm patties upon whoso al

These letters ho lorwatdeil to the commission
In snppoit of his spccitlc answers to the

suspended. These nro autogiaph letters of
the patties , anil disclose the lact that the
charges and specifications have no founda
tion of truth on wlilclt to icst. In view ot the
loicgolng statement of facts , the commission
can but conclude that Geoigo Wise , the per
son nominated by the piesldent , Is not entitled -
titled to tavorablc consideration by the sen
ate. Tor the senate to ndvlsu
and consent to ills appointment
by the piesldent would but encourage
the pi emulation of unfounded uhaigcs

It is very evident now that Sectetary Man

at tlm head of the tteasnty derailment , Tliu
president has visited him within the past
low days and hud a long consultation , Man
ning Is confident that ho will bo able to le-
sumu Ills work within a month. Ho says that
the veiy liaid work of ( Imposition | md been
all cleared up except ono or tuo mattcis at
the thnoot Ids Illness , and that fiom this
forwimltho sttain will bu very slight com
patcd with that of the fust year. The
picsident was delighted with the piospect of
seeing his old friend and personal adviser
again at Ms desk , and in the cabinet room.
Manning , of course , will not attempt to en
ter upon all the details of the position at
present , piobably not bcfoio next tall , and
unless he incets with something In the nature
of a iclapso , ho expects to be at his desk by

Secretary Manning received a number of
visitors to-day , ono of thorn being the picsi
dent. If the weather shall bo pleasant to-
morro\Y ho will go out for a short drive. The
secretary laughs a good deal at the repot ts
pilnted In the newspapers that it was over

with one of his vlsltois upon this subject to

The hou o Is beginning to wake up to the
fart tint it didn't gain much when It changed
Its rules last December. It was bcllovcd then
that It would , by this change ot rule , bo able
to rush tlnough Its business at a much better
late of speed. Now , howe\er , with almost
live montbs of the session past , it Units Itself
with only flvo appropriation bills passed , and
not a single ono of them a law. It Is more
cleaily evident now , too , that the delay with
leteicnco to the appioptlatlon bills lifts only
just begun. They come In In n confused ,
jumblcd-up condition. Thosjstemby which
they have been ptopared in foimer years by
the appropriation committee Is not followed
out by the other committees , for the very
good reason that they aie not familiar with
It , as would have been the apptoprlatlon
committee In casii the bills wcto bofoio that
body. Mete than that , the committees bring
In their bills with the same air of conscious
pride that the mother lien exhibits In trotting
herbiocd alter a thieo weeks' seclusion.
Tito icsult Is that each committee Is anxious ,
nay , otcu deieimined , that Its paitlcular
biood shall liave tlm Hist consideration
by the hou e. The icsnlt Is that all the com
mittees have , figuratively , each other by the
hair , and tluno is to bo a lively tussle for the
light ot way. 1'iom this on there will bo a
constant light between the * committees to sou
which shall have the llrst conshlciutlon. Bo
it seems that tlm house is not only futther
behind with Its work than it has been for ten
years , but it seems likely to continue to lese
ground In time Mom this forward.
