i Washington, D. C., March 29. Sbm
iiTK. 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.' " (Applause in the galleries.)
Alter an executive session the Senate

I Mr. Miller, of Texas; moved as an
amendment to refer it to the committee

In) reply to a question by Mr. Ran
dall! Mr. Willis stated that the measure
was identical with the Blair bill.
Mr. Randall asked if a reasonable
time would not be allowed for debate in

By Mr. O'Neill," of Missouri, pro

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,

Judge Phillips is very popular ia this

suffer merited punishment. I
Solicitor Worthington is making an
enviable reputation as a prosecuting of

remarkably successful throughout his

New York, March 29. 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.
Secretary Sfannlng- Decidedly Better.
Washington, D. C March 29. Sec
retary Manning's physicians did not.
make their usual earlv call this morn
ing, but made their inquiries and gave
directions by telephone. A 10:3u
o'clock the doctors arrived together and
immediately went up to the sick man's
room, naif an hour later ; they came
down and reoorted the secretary de-
idedly better. ' He had a good night. ' '
said Dr. Lincoln, "and he is real I v
