to debute on the postollice appropriation
bill. Illount defended the postmaster gen

priated by Utc bill of last year to compen
sate American vessels for mail service.
Tlds subject, be said, Intel been considered
at a cabinet, meeting iin.4 whatever of error
or crime attiwhed to the failure to use this
fund attached not only to tho postmaster
general, but to tho president and his cabi
net. Hut hetirgucd lame tho postmaster
general hud ooinmit ted no error, but hud
only exercised just and wise discretion.
Springer thought the post master general,
Instead ol receiving .criticism, should re

from the coiuiultteo on labor, reported a

ington said that tlio committee on labor.
ith tho limited jurisdiction congress had
over tlio suliject, liatl done about all It
ould do. Ho was disposed to vote for the
bill, but ho could not but feel that there
was a possibility that it would go out to
tho world a legislative nondescript which
boro on its fare an apology for ils own ex
istence. In closing tho debate O'Neill said
every compulsory law placed on tho statute
books of any country had proven a failure.
The desired result could only bo secured by
conciliation.

ments uttered wero alt voted down, after
which tho second section ot thu bill was
considered. Lawlersuid opponents ot this
bill had had three long mouths to prepare
something upon the question and hail not
done ho. Hut now they insulted tho in

frco coin.tgo bill, which was laid aside in
order U tnko up tho labor arbitration hill.
Mr. Rogers regarded tho bill ns perfectly
worthless, and, with tho exception of the
fifth section, a perfectly harmless bill, unless
it might bo construed its a step in the
wrong direction. That section gives tlio
railroad power to put their hands into tlio
United States treasury to enable them to
light their workingnicn. On motion of Mr.
K el ley the title ol tho bill was amended to
rend "to provide a method for settling con
troversies between railroad corporations
engaged in interstate and territorial traivj

by Messrs. Fuller, Hark, Adnuta, and others.

A Fort Worth (Texas) igpatch Rays:
At 10 o'clock this morning 1,500 people
iiKPomblod nt tho Missouri Pacific yards to
sec the sheriff send out a train, which ho
m.ld Inst night ho would do or die in tlio
attempt. At 11 o'clock nn engine with
twenty armed deputies backed into tlio
yards to take out a train ot twenty cars.
The suggestive quiet that marked its pass
nge through the city was not without its
sequel. When tfco train left tlio depot it
wns under the protection of a posse ot olli
cers under the 0311101(111(1 of Jim Courtriglit.
The train proceeded to the crossing ot the
Ft. Worth ,t New Orleans railway, wlten it
Btopped as cKstornary. What followed is
reported by a railroad employe who was
on tho train. Ho says that when the train
stopped 44 was noticed several men
were congregated on tho track in front of
the trnin. Tho posse's commander ap
prtwichcd and risked why they impeded tho
progress of the train, to winch they rupned
that'they hud nothing to do with it. They
wfro not nrmed and had no intention of
intorlerring with tlio railway. As the ofll
oers returned to tiio train they noticed
ievorul men silting or lying in tho
crass a few yards from tho track.
Thoentiro posse advanced toward tho men
in ambush until they hail reached the ditch
along tiie sale ol the track, when they com
muuded a throwing up ol hands. The
command was obeyed, hut a 'tho hands
camo up they brought Winchester rilles,
which belched forth a deadly lire. The
posse returned tho fire, it is said with fatal
effect. There were perhaps 100 shots fired
After the lirst tire the ios-o advanced and
continued tiring. The auibUKliers retreated
behind some pilcH of h-s, which proved a
most excellent breastwork, and from thu
security of which they poured a murderous
lire into tlio posse. From this position
they wero liually dislodged and driven be
yond the range of the posse's pistols. Tho
casualties among the posse wero found to
lie three; Police Ollicer Tulfard, shot
through both thighs: Special Ollicer Dick
Townsend, shot through tho left brenst,
near the nipple, fatal; Special Ollicer
Charles Speed, wmt "through tho
heart and jaw. Tlio casualties among tho
ainbiishers is only a matter of conjecture.
though there seems ts be good grounds for
Haying that three or more ot them wero
wounded, probably lalnlly. 'the same
nuthority snys there were half a dozen or
more horses visible from the trains that
were ambushed, which it is believed bo-
longed to the ambushiug party. During tho
night Kichard I ownsenn, a special deputy
sheriff, was shot in the bad; ns he stood on
the engine, tho bull passing through his left
lung and coming out on Ids left sid
Charles Sliced, another deputy sheriff, wns
shot near tho ear, the ball coming out on
tlio opposite side of Ids bend near his
mouth. Hi tit of these men will die. Police
Ollicer John Tnlford wa shot in both
thighs, 0110 of tho balls ranging upward
into his body. His wounds ure dangerous.

THE KNIGHTS STILL OUT.
Tltcy IlcriiKO to Pay any Attention to
.tlr. Powtlcrly'n Order's.
St. Louis, April 1. contrary to gcnernl
expectation that the executive committee
ot assembly 101 would designate the hour
ot 10 o'clock this morning ns tho
time when the striking knights should re
turn to work, no order to that effect was
issued and at 10 o'clock the strike con
tinued. None ot the strikers applied for
work to the Missouri Pacific ollicials, and
they -y they will not do bo till ordered by
their executive committee. Despite the
continuance ot the strike upon tins side ot
the river, a considerable number of now
flwltrhmen find ynrdiuen have been em
ployed to fill tho vacant places ot tho
strikers and all appearances indicate a
speedy resumption of freight trallic on tho
different roads. Switch ennines are now
running bnck and forwnrd preparatory to
starling out freight trains. None of the
switch engineers have yet been prevailed
upon to quit work and if tho regular freight
engineers shnll be equally faithful in per
forming their duties there is no doubt that
the freight trallic on tho roads will be at
least partially resumed to-day. Gov.
Oglesby. utter breakfast this morning, pro
ceeded to the relny depot, where the largest
number of strikers assembled, and ad
dressed to them some well chosen remarks
bearing on tlio strike. He cautioned them
ngainst using violence in nny case and in
formed them that the laws must bo obe; ed
and enforced; that it the county authorities
wero not equal to the task of preserving the
railroad property, there was a power still
Htrutiger, which could be called upon for Its
protection. Tho following was issued this
afternoon:
To the Public: As showing the sincerity
of the railroad managers in theirtrealment
of tlio Knights of Labor, wo respectfully
state that, pursuant to tlio order of our
general executive board, we, this day, sent
a committee to tlio inumigors ol the several
railroads offering to return the men to
work and in no instance would they be re
ceived or treated witli respect, each olllcial
in turn either refusing tiim a hearing or
evading witli specious subterfuges a direct
answer or refusing them employment.
Iloxie had agreed to receive a committee of
employes to adjust any grievances which
may exist. He refused personally and
through his subordinates to recognize any
of us as employes and refused to receive
nny but such as he calls employes. In
shot t, after Gould and himself have con
veyed to the world that they are willing to
settle, they refuse to settle. Now we appeal
to t he candid and suffering public, on whom
Is falling all the weight of this great con
flict, if we have not been deceived enough.
How much longer is long-suffering labor to
bear this. This great strike never would
have been had Hoxie condescended mouths
ngo to hear our complaints. We do not
claim to be more than human. It should
not he expected of us to be moro than
human. In this country position makes
no man king or slave uud the imperious re
fusal on the part of one citizen to confer
with another citizen with whom he may
have business connections, when such re
fusal begets great business and social reso
lution, is not only a mistake but a crime
ngainst the public. Gould is invoking the
law against little criminals who are mado
despi'iate by his policy and oppression, and
yet the tei ronzed public does not invoke
the law against tho arch criminal of the
hiial. We cannot return to work. Tho
stnke must go on.
Ity order of executive board of district
assemblies 101, Oil and 17.
Foiit Woitui, Tex., April 1. Fort Worth
is in ulio hands of a mob. The citizens'
posse summoned by the sheriff to assemble
this morning in the Missouri Pacific yards
met some 1100 strong, according to orders.
About -100 strikers, armed, desperate uud
ready for bloodshed, were on tho scene.
Fifty well-armed ollicers were also on hand.
A freight train was made up and a Mis
souri Pacific engine enme nlong to pull out
the tram, when there wns a grand rush by
the strikers for the engine. Arms were pre
sented 011 both sides. Tho engine was not
molested, but all cars were uncoupled, and
even tho nuts wore taken out of tho draw-
heads. Some of tho knights wero arrested
and the engine sent back to the round
house and all attempts to move the train
were abandoned. Tho citizens lacked or
ganization. They had no leader, whilo
every man in tlio ranks of tho strikers was
a leader. Mayor Smith addressed the mob
but the strikers cried "lints! No more
Peter Smith formayor again!" The sheriff
is summoning tlio citizens to go nrmed to
morrow to the Missouri I'aeific yards.
'1 he strikers' places are all filled here. They
are hungry nml bloodthirsty.
Topcka special says: Gov. Martin re
ceived a dispatch from State Adjutant G mi
eral Campbell, at Parsons, Kas., that the
mob was seemingly 111 the ascendancy there
and ho could not start trains without aid.
Tlio governor thereupon authorized tho
ailing out 01 tho I'irst regiment of statu
111 Hit tit. or us much of it ns is needed, and
telegraphed Gen. Carroll at Paola to go to
Parsons and take command. It is ex
pected that the Ottawa and Garnet com
panies and probably another will bo scut
to the scone ot tho trouble. Some twolvo
or fifteen freight trains wero sent out to-
day and a heavy business was done at the
11 eight depot, where goods was received for
all points for tho lirst time during tlio
strike. Tho company ia still employing
outside applicants.

Interview with Gen. Crook had witlt the
liostiles, Thursday last, Geronimo had his
men nrmed with rilles, ready to fire upon
all white men, including Crook, at a given
signal.
tleronimo's failure to keep his promise ot

fact that having so much blood to answer
for I could expect no clemency. Therefore,
lie preferred life in tho mountains to a pros,

ties. Tho liostiles had 000 rounds of ant
munition each.
Gen. Forsythe said it was impossible to
fathom Gerouiitio's intention. It is an

This is t ie third time he has proved faith
