After the routine morning busi ness Mf. lagan's army bill was placed before the Senate. Mr. Logan sent to the desk and had read a letter from Gen. Sheridan favoring the proposed in crease. - Mr. Logan himself read an extract from a letAer of Gen. Schofield approving the bill, and proceeded to speik upon it. lie occupied the largest portion of the afternoon session, the remainder be ing consumed by Senators who inter rupted at different times, to oppose the :bll and antagonize Mr. . Logan's state ments or to ask questions. Messrs. 11 umb, Hoar, Lawes and Teller were opponents of the bill. ! In reply to re- juarks made by some of these gentlemen in! the course of the debate,' Mr. Logan $ald it was an unwarrantable as sumption for any j Senator to intimate or insinuate that this bill was now introduced ' with a view to any impending difficulty be tween capital and labor. Why this in sinuation that there was a desire to use the army against the people ? It seemed that to some men any statement that would injure another ; was as a sweet morsel. It was an unfounded and un worthy insinuation. Referring to a suggestion that an increase of the army Was wanted for show, ''for a circus," Mir. Logan repelled it. The people, he said,, did not want any show about it They had show and circus enough in the Sehate: (Laughter). And while the senatorial circus was performing he did not know any more active performers than the Senators who w'ere opposed to this bill. (Renewed laughter). Mr. Logan reviewed the efforts making to fortify the coast8,manufacture guns, build a navy, &c, and inquired what all these expensive preparations meant if no in peace to prepare, for war. There was, undoubtedly, no immediate, dan ger, but was that any" argument against putting our affairs in a condition to pre pare properly whenever danger should comeVv We have had wars before and should doubtless have them, again. In the last report by the secretary of war to Congress, that officer called the spe cial attention of Congress to the dis turbances of the past yearwith the In dians. But even if there were no In dian difficulties there were still reasons ' enough why we should have this in crease; not to get a large 'army but to put our present army in a condition ot proper organisation, to keep it reasonably efficient. Mr. Logan believed in the American idea and . the Monroe doc tiine. He would build p American industries and American influence and power. The republic should be able to protect itself, .huropean .monarchies were jealous of the United States. Why ? Because of the ideas of repub licanism and natriotisin which the ex. ample of the United States afforded to the people of the world. Republican ism was becoming' a power-the world over and the,; United States should be prepared to say to the first European pdwer that attempts to gain a foothold America: '-.Lay on, MacDuff, and damned beshe who first cries, "Hold ! enough.'

Mr. O'Hara, of North Carolina, asked, unanimous consent to offer, for im mediate consideration the following pre amble and resolution : ,1 Whereas, it is a matter of public in formation that March 18, 1886, in the town of Carrollton, the county seat of Carroll county, Mississippi a law less band of persons rode to the court house and then and there indiscrimi nately murdered by shooting a num ber of peaceful citizens of the United States; and whereas it is alleged that the Governor of said State of Mississippi has absolutely refused to take active measures to bring to justice said murderers ; and whereat it is al leged that the grand jury in au4 for said county of Carroll has neglected to act in, such a manner as; would' bl ing said murderers before the courts ti answer for their crimes; and whereas the con stitution of the United States guarantees to each and every of its citizens full and adequate protection of his life,1and the enjoyment of his property,! therefore, be it ' i Resolved, That a committee of five members be appointed by the Speaker, to investigate the facts connected with said murders and to report bybill or otherwise such measures as will check or prevent in future such wanton and barbarous destruction of human life.

Ifc was re ported this morning that the strikers in St. Louis would not go to work until they received positive and official notice from Mr. Irons. Mr. Powderly was called upon and found to be in bed. When asked about it, he Said: "I have received no woVd that the men will not obey orders. If they have not heard from Mr. Irons it is because there has been delay in delivering the telegram which we sent last night. . The men will certainly go to work, and Mr. Irons will positively give them orders. j Mr. Powderly is ill this morniner. When asked whv McDowell came away from the meeting with Gould so soon this morning, he said : 'Oh, he only came back for some papers: that is all: he. is down there now." Nbw York, March 29. In an inter view this morning Gould said: "My tel egram to Hoxie was prepared before his conference with Powderly, yesterday, and was not the result of anything Pow- qeriy saia. in it is expressed the stand which the Missouri Pacific has taken from the beginning: that is that the company is always ready to arbitrate any differences it may have with its own loyees. Fowderly seems to have assumed from the telegram that I have agreed to the plan submitted by the ex ecutive board of the Knights of Labor Saturday, providing for the appoint ment of an arbitration committee,, three members of which are to be appointed by myself and three by the Knights of Labor, and these to jointly- choose the seventh member. Now I most emphati cally deny that there was anything in my telegram to Hoxie, or j that there was anything sard at! the conference yesterday, to warrant anyone in believing that I for a moment assented to any such plan. I will appoint no mem bers of any arbitration committee. I The whole matter rests in the hands of Mr. Hoxie, and if he can arrange a basis for arbitration which will include both sides of the question I will have no objection; but the whole matter will have to be arranged with him. I am now prepar ing a letter to Mr. Powderly which will clearly set forth my position as outlined above." 5 ;St. Louis, March 29. The joint ex ecutive committee of district assemblies 101, 93 and 17, in session this morning, issued the following brief address: ; ' "St. .Louis, March 29. 1886.1' "To the Knights of Labor of the great southwest: i i ''Fellow-workmen: We congratulate you. one and all, on your manhood land fortitude in our late great fight for re cognition and right. Now that the bat tle is fought and the victory won, let us wear our laurels as men of dignity and moderation; every man to his post and to his duty, with quiet and sobriety. Let us exhibit the same zeal for the upbuild- ne of the business of the West that we have just done in proving that labor is king. ' By order of the joint executive boards, of district assemblies : 101.: 93 and 17." ! It is stated that this address was sent to the different halls where the strikers were holding meetings; that it was received joyously and that the men started for their homes, to change their clothing preparatory to going to wrk. This is not verified and the men had not gone to work up to 1 o'clock. It is also stated that the address has been tele graphed to all points on the Southwest system. i Nxw York, March 29. Mr. jay Gould was interviewed this after noon in regard to the arbitration of ihe troubles on the southwestern; railway system. "The plan of arbitration pro posed by Mr. Powderly,' said Mr. Gould, "cannot be determined by of ficers here in New York.. All the de tails, of the settlement of the strike must be initiated .and arranged in St. Louis. The whole thing is in the hands tof general manager Hoxie and there is no disposition on the part of the board of directors to interfere with any plin which he may decide upon. -There Is not the slightest intent on ray part to recede from the position I have so far maintained; that is to say, I shall not accept the plan proposed by Mr. Pow derly. I shall appoint no arbitrators. If there is to be arbitration, to which, as I telegraphed Mr. Hoxie, I have not the slightest objection, such arbitration must be arranged for at St, Louis and with general manager Hoxie. He is in control and knows the situation per loctly. Any settlement that he may make will meet with the approval of the directors of the company Sri Louis, March 29 The situation in the East St. Louis yards this morning -was One of disorder and at times it looked as though there would be real trouble. Large crowds congregated at the relay depot and in the various yards, and when an effort was made to start a freight train in the Yandalta yard the crowd swarmed around it, drew its coupling-pins and otherwise obstructed its movements to such a degree that the train was abandoned. In the Indian apolis & St. Louis and the Louisville & Nashville yards efforts were made to make up trains, but as fast as the cars were brought into position they wore uncoupled aid hnally the at tempt was abandoned fn the Wabash yards deputy marshals made up a train to be sent out in the afternoon. Efforts were not made in the other yards to move trains and probably none will be made until adequate protection is afford- ed by the State authorities. It is re ported that the sheriff of St. Clair county, who was present tlfts morning and was totally unable to. control the strikers has appealed to the Governor of Illinois for military aid,- but this has not been verified.
