Washinqton, D. C, March 23 Sis
atx. The chair laid before the Senate
a number of House bills, among them a
bill granting a pension of $2,000 a year
to the widow of Gen. Hancock. ln
mation of Mr. Blair the bill; was at once
passed, Mr. Blair Btating that it had
been this morning considered by the
pension committee of the Senate.
; Mr. Beck called up a resolution offered
by him December 18, 1885,1 relating to
the payment of customs dues in coin,
lie said the resolution had ' been amply
discussed and he now moved its reference
to the finance committee. : This was
agreed to. 1
The chair laid before the Senate Mr.
Logan's bill to promote the efficiency of
tne army.
: The bill was debated until 1:50
o'clock', and was then laid aside. The
conference committee on the urgent de
ficiency bill presented a report, which
was adopted, showing the mutual con
cessions by the House and the Senate as
to the differences that had existed
Mr. Jackson then resumed: his speech
on the Edmunds resolutions,
Mr. Jackson inquired whether it was
in the line of "cairn and orderly admin
istration of the government" referred
to by Mr. Edmunds, that the Senate
should permit all pending nominations
to remain unacted on, to let vacancies
in office remain unfilled and have the
session close, leaving all those -trouble-
dome constitutional Questions to be
raised in recess. The papers called for
were wholly irrevelant to the matter of
the office in question; the power con
tended for on the other side, that a sus
pended official should resume the
functions of his office when the Senate
failed to act on a new nomination was
provided for, Mr. Jackson said, in the
original tenure-of-office bill, but was
specifically struck out by, the committee
t"f conference. It was also true as a
matter of fact that Gen. Grant or other
Presidents in submitting nominations to
the Senate had used, interchangeably,
the words "removed" And "suspended."
Mr.' Jackson said he had examined many
such cases and had found Gen. Grant
using the -word "removed.'' when in
fact the person designated as removed
bad. technically been only suspended.
Mr. Edmunds asked whether such
oases did not occur during the session
of the Senate. I f
Mr. Jackson inferred that they, did, but
as not sure. Mr. Edmunds thousrht
they did. He also said that President
Hayes had been called on to explain
Whether that form of nomination (vice
a removal) of a person when, in fact.
such person had been suspended, meajSt
removal ' or not; and President Hayes
had replied that it did not imply any
thing of the kind, but only meant that
person was removed if the senate
should oonsent to his removal. That
fact, Mr. Edmunds said, could be found
on the journals of the Senate.: j
Mr. Jackson, in concluding ; his re
marks, said : "I see nothing in this but
an attempt to encroach on the: functions
and rights of the executive, and of ob
structing him and his administration in
their effort 4 at reform. No President
for the past half century 'has ever
acted with more moderation, none with
js more conscientious regard for the pub
lic interests ; and yet, at the very outset
of his administration, he is to be ob
structed in this way on grounds wholly
unwarranted. Ho may well appeal from
Hhifl Senate to the country, for the coun
try will sustain him in his action.
Mr. George followed, also m opposi
tion to the majority report. The Amer
ican Senate, Mr. George said, was today
engaged in the consideration of a ques
tion of great moment. It was::the claim
on the part of the Senate of supremacy
over co-ordinate and independent de
partments of the government. The
Senate, he said, was the most aristo
cratic feature of our government, and
least responsible to the people; Receiv
ing its authority not directly I from the
people, bat at second-hand, it was but
ittart of the legislative department of
theemment. The various functions of
the government had been divided be
(ween: three departments. No part of
phe scheme of the constitution had been
(Jfiued of more importance ; or more
essen 11 than this separation! of power
between equal . and independent de
partments and the preservation of the
equality of each of these departments
from encroachment or usurpation ; by
others Mr. ueorge then argued at
some length the question of the power
of removal under the constitution
After citing a number of authorities,
historical and legal, to show that the
power had been in the President, Mr
George continued that up to 1864 the
Presidents had always and ' alone exer
cised this power and it would -now be
base submission to usurpation if the
President should abandon the powers
vested in him by the constitution. It was
not in the power of Congress to subject the
President to any subserviency or servility
to any other department of the govern
ment. Congress could not grant a new
power to itself, nor could it grant a new
power to an omoer except to enable the
officer to execute a power granted him
by the constitution ; neither! could it
take away from any department of the
government any of the powers conferred
on it by the constitution. Mr. George
then reviewed the history of the tenure-of-office
law, and quoted from the de
bates on that bill to show thai the Re
publicans were not all agreed that it
was constitutional or wise. ,
Mr. Morgan obtained the floor, but
yielded to a motion by Mr. Butler to go
mto executive session.
Mr, Edmonds opposed the motion,
with a view to securing an understand
ing as to when a vote could, be reached.
The motion was not agreed to.
Mr. (Jockrell said seven or eight Sen
ators yet desired to speak. He thought
it difficult now to fix an hour when a
vote could be had. It was finally ar
ranged that tomorrow afternoon the
time should be fixed for the next day,
or perhaps the day after, when a vote
should be taken.. The Senate then, on
motion of Mr. Butler, at 5.15 ad
journed. HOUU.
Washingtos, D. C, March 23. Mr.
Reagan, of Texas, from the committee
on commerce, reported back the Senate
bill to establish a national live-stock
highway and promote commerce in live
stock between the 8tates. House cal
endar. In the morning hour. Mr. Richardson,
of Tennessee, on behalf of the commit
tee on war claims, called, up and the
House passed the fburtb4f July claims
bill. The amount involved in the bill
is $238,200. The Houoe went into
committee of the whole on the Indian
appropriation bill. On a point of order
the appropriation for an annual allow
ance to Capt. Pratt, superintendent cf
the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., was
stricken out. Mr. Nelson, of Minnes
sota, announced that as Capt. Pratt's
scalp had been taken, he proposed to
have other scalps, and he raised similar
points against like appropriations for
other Indian schools as fast as they were
reached. Pending the decision upon
one of these, the committee, rose. " Mr.
Burns, of Missouri, submitted the con
ference report on the urgent deficiency
bill and it was agreed to. While this
was being, done, Messrs. Wellborn, of
Texas; Perkins, of Kansas, and others
surrounded Mr. Nelson and appealed to
him to depart from his policy 10 regard'
to the Indian bill, but he was obdurate
and at 4.45 the House adjourned.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Washinqton, March 22. It was re
ported today at the capitol that an
agent dispatched by the Governor of
Florida was in. town, incog., for the
purpose of sounding Senators as to the
prospect of admission should the Gov
ernor appoint a Senator in place of Sen
ator Jones, who still tuning his lute
and stringing his guitar under the win
dow of the coy damsel of Detroit. ; It
could not be found that there ! was the
least authority for the rumor. It is a
fact that several of the princical papers
of Florida have called upon the Gover
norff appoint, a Senator. But should tho
Governor follow their advice, there -is
not the least doubt -Ha - the world
that the Senate would : refuse
to admit his appointee. Senator i mav
have their own opinion as to the pro
priety and good taste of the conduct of
of Mr. Jones, but it has too long been
tne unwritten law of that body for a
member of it to leave his public duties
as onen and for as long a period as it
pleases him, for them to concede that a
voluntary absence, however protracted
and for whatever eauso, can be regarded
as causing a vacancy. The latest ad
vices from Senator Jones are to the ef
fect that he does not intend to come to
Washington until he gets readv. and
that his private affairs are matters with
which the papers, and the Washington or 0
pie have nothing to do. In plain terms
he tells them, papers and all, - to mind
their own business.
In the matter of the adverse action of
the District of Columbia committee of
the Senate on the nomination of, re
corder Matthews, it is reported that the
inenas ot jrrederick Douglas have been
at work. His resignation is to take
effect only upon the qualification of his
successor, and if Matthews is rejected it
may be some time before the President
will make another nomination. Since
the nomination of Matthews it has been
said a thousand times by citizens 'here
that if the recorder of deeds is to be a
colored man, they, would just as soon
have Douglas as any one else, j Similar
expressions have been used by 'Demo
cratic Senators, and these opinions have
been placed in all their, bearings before
the Republican Senators, and may lhavo
much to do in determining the fate of
Matthews.
A sagacious and far-seeing Senator
on the Republican side remarked this
evening that it was only a question of
time when executive sessions would
have to go. "Edmunds," he said,
"and a few others have set up such an
extreme and ridiculous code as to the
rights, power and prerogatives of tho
Oenate that the public demand that
light shall be thrown on all its doing
will grow until it must bo yielded to."
v I he removal of General Robert 0
Schcnck, the compiler of laws, by sec
retary Bayard, is said to have 00 signi

of State is given full discretion in the
matter, and can appoint whomsoever he
chooses to perform the servioe, making,
of course, proper returns to the account
ing officers for the money expended
The work is finished up to the present
Congress, the compilation of the laws
enacted by the : 4otn uongreas now
being in the hands of the prin
ter. It is stated that General Sohenck's
work has been entirely satisfac
tory, and that he was removed
for no particular cause. It Was known
at the state department that he employ'
ed several assistants, but this was not
considered in any! way irregular. The

Kansas Crrr, Mo., 9 a. m , March
23. There is no change in the situation
at the railroad yards this morning. Two
hundred switchmen are still out and no
freight is moving. There has been no
disturbance of any kind. It was stated
last night that a conference of railroad
superintendents would be held here
today. : The superintendent of one. of
the railroads said last night : 'We are
yet undetermined as to whether or .not
this strike is the work of the Knights of
Labor. If so, then the present time is
as good as any for making the issue with
them, and in this case 1 am in favor of
doing so; filling the places of the strikers
and invoking the protection of the law
for the resumption of our business. The
State adjutant general has ordered the
7th regiment of militia, of this city; to
assemble nightly at their armory for
drill, until further orders. There is a
general disposition to regard the strike
with growing seriousness, though it is
impossible to analyze the situation defi
nitely. : The strikers are close-mouthed
and do not indicate either their motives
or purposes, except as shown in their
statements to the public. It is Baid that
many of those who went out do not
belong to the union and yet are Knights
of Labor, hence the argument that the
latter are at the bottom of the trouble.
Both the Knights and the union switch
men, however, deny this and the public
is left to draw its own conclusions.
SxDSUA, Mp., March 23. The rail
way official? notified the city and county
authorities yesterday morning that they
would attempt to run a train at 2 0 clock
in the afternoon' and requested them to
have a sufficient force on hand to pre
vent any trouble. The mayor had the
entire police force on the company s
grounds and also the sheriff and twenty
five deputies taken from among the busi
ness men of the city. At 2 0 clock p. mLa
train was ready to start and a man named
William FreeLand, a clerk who was laid
off after the strike was started, stepped
up to the tram and gave the engineer.
fireman and brakeman each a note which
read, "You are hereby earnestly re
quested for the sake of humanity not to
go out on this engine." The train
started out and as it passed New York
avenue a torpedo exploded under the
engine. At the city limits the axeman
came down from the engine and the
train soon stood etill and then backed
up to the yard. After consultation the
officials decided not to make another
attempt yesterday. Freeland was arres
ted and placed under 0100 bond on a
charge of trespassing. Another attempt
will be made by the officials to get a
train out.

THE GKEAT MTKIKE.
ANALYSIS Of THI SITUATION.
Vice-President Hoxie, of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, has replied to; Master
workman Powderly, of the Knights of
Labor, declining to meet Mr. Powderly
and the committee of Knights to arrange
a settlement of the pending difficulties.
Hoxie's reply is very long, and treats
exhaustively the whole subject of past
and present strikes. It says that in the
present instance the strikers have no
grievance which it is in the power of the
Missouri Pacific to redress; the grievances
being against another road over which:
the Missouri Pacific has no control.1
Hence a conference could bring about no
result. Mr. Hoxie says 'if Mr. Pow
derly and his associates have anything
to suggest that will tend to correct the
evils of the existing state of affairs, he
will be glad to meet them as individu
als, but declines to meet them as the
representatives of the organisation.
Mr. Hoxie s communication says: -A
review of the . history of
the past year is essential : to a
full understanding ! of 'the present
condition. The differences between
this company and its ' emnlovees.
resulting in the strike of March, 1885,
were settled by the voluntary intercession
of the executives and officers of the
States of Kansas and Missouri, and not
with your organization. ) The agree
ments subsequently entered into with
the committees of your order have been
faithfully carried out by this company.
The minor grievances under these ar
rangements have, from time to: time,
been presented, considered by the man
agement, and adjusted in a manner ap
parently satisfactory to petitioners, and
or the sake of peace : and harmony this
company has repeatedly, on the demands
of your organization, made ehanges m
its staff by the removal of 1 officials en
tirely satisfactory to the company, but
objectionable to some iof your members.
In our meeting with you of August last,
in Mew lore, vouri committee stated
1
that no grievances or comnlaints
existed against the Missouri Pacific rail
roads on the part of your order through
non-compliance with the contracts then
existing, but that it was necessary to
utilize your organization upon the Mis
souri Pacific road to force an adjustment
of the difficulties then pending, with
another corporation. Similar action has
been taken bv your order in these in
stances within tne last eight months:
1. In threatening that the members
of your order upon the Missouri Pacific
railroad would strike if it continued to
exchange business with the Wabash
road. , - W
2. When the members of. your order
compelled the strike of a portion of the
employees of this company, in carrying
out your Doycott against tne juauory
line at Galveston. i- ' ;; ,1
3. In the present instance, when the
existing strike was forced upon this com
pany by the discharge of one C. A. Hall
by the receivers of the Texas Pacific-
railroad, in the hands ; of the United
States court, and in the : management of
which this company has no voice or con
trol a fact which your order fully re
cognised Ewhen your committee made
application to the receivers of that road
for the reinstalment of said: employee.
Instances might be cited where en
deavors have been made to use this com
pany for the purpose of boycotting in-
uiviauais wno naa incurred tne. uis
pleasure of your order. : An especially
aggravated case of the failure of jour
organization to carry out its agreements
was that of the workmen at. the Pales
tine shops, where, in the last days of
February, they stopped work on account
of an : alleged grievance, which5 was
thereupon adjusted in a manner to them
satisfactory, so that they resumed work,
with the agreement to continue work
under the concessions made by the com-
pany, . but within ten; days thereafter
they again left their work, on the demand
of your organization in ordering the
present strike and without;" any griev
ances whatever against this company
These continued stoppages of work: of
this company, without any cause, have
become so frequent that believing
the future will be as unsettled as the past,
u cannot oonsent to renew tne agreement
voluntarily and arbitrarily abrogated
by your organisation,; and longer sub
mit to it tne management 01 our ousi-
ness. This company,: through its rep
resentatives, is and has always been
willing to .meet the j public, through"!
committees or individuals, on matters of
public concern, and if yourself or other
intelligent citizens can suggest any
practicable methods whereby the present
situation can be changed, and traffic per
manently resumed, this company will
be pleased to meet yourself or them, as
citiiens, bnt not as representatives of
your organization, to: discuss pending
difficulties, or in any other : manner of
publio interest. . In conclusion, I desire
emphatically to state that the responsi
bility for the future continuance of the
present unjustifiable strike will not rest
With the management of this company,
but inasmuch as your organization has
committed the errors of striking first,
and endeavoring to. negotiate after
wards, it has the power to and should
end the present trouble by permitting
Such of our former employees and others
Who desire to work, to do so without
fear of threats and intimidation, leaving
this company free to resume its opera
tions and adjust with its employees, as
it is at all times willing to do.

: Since you will not meet with me as
the grand master workman of the
Knight of Labor, I must deoline to
meet with you in any other capacity.
(and the responsibility for the future
continuance of the strike must noti be
charged 4o the Knights of Labor, since
the executive officer of that order will
not be permitted to -meet and co-operate
with jou in settling' the Strike. It was
my intention, had you consented to
meet with me, to endeavor to effect sucft
a settlement as would prevent imposi
tions being practiced upon the em
ployees of your company by subordinate
officials, and put an; end to strikes; on
your lines for the future.

I see an article in the News and Ob
server of the 21st inst. in regard to a
man who "claims to be deaf,'' and from
a card ia the Visitor I suppose it refers
to Mr. N. A. Graham. In vindication
of Mr. Graham I wish to state that! I
once lived in the neighborhood in Ala,
where Mr. Graham was raised, and
knew his family, and I am fully satiis
fied that he is a worthy man and what
he represents himself to be.
