L;N York, April 15. Today there
was n 'oonference at j 195Broailway be
tweenf Gould, Hopkins, McDowell,
Pbwderlji Iiyes, ailej and iJurner.
Gould said: . Mr. Pqwderly, a to mj
ialerTtew with yoa Sunday, it was very
unfortunate that anything was said with
out : my approval. Xt was understood
that w would meet as individuals; and
that what transpired" was to be j strictly
confidential and if i any part of that
oonterlBation. came oqt the' whole inter
view ought to come out."
Po.wderly said: 'Nothing nas es
caped ue at all. I have not said; word
about fany on ver8aion." Guld: I

fnrniiag: ''y'k fall Btatemest of

At our -other interview? Pow-

Powderly- "A to the revocation of
he charter, I asked the question : "Sn p

.would jit mkke it? ; These men out there
would understand that nobody eared ior
them,', and 1 ! asked the question; "Will

: .Gould: "Possibly you mights I nn
Iderstood that that 'was. what you were
going to do.", Gould read a letter he
hafd srfBeifedf which jsaid: 4ThV exec

of the phion Pacific railroad went dowD
Jujnw pity. Thejj were preparing
o$ "tk sfrlke et ery wnee. They havie re

JPowderly; You say y'ouij are willing
tojarbitrateJ Hoxie is reported in the
papers as not being willing to krbitrate
anfl wdri't. He most emphatically says
he? won't, and he says to you that 'he
will. I don't see how he;! we can get
to 'talk the matter over at all)..
Mr Gould: He has not said So. I
Powderly: If he has said that he will,
how can we reach him, how; can we get
to :him, and what can we do .to stop; this
thin,? right now? It won't do to
say, 'I am willing to arbitrate', if I don't
arpitrate. : i
Gould: I hare heard nothing from
Hzie, excepting that he says he has
received that telegram and he is pro
ceeding to carry Jt out to the; best of his
ability,; t In all ur railroad jneetings I
have always advocated arbitration, over
ami oyer again. This very question
was arbitrated a' year ago and the Gov
ernors decided against us. It was arbi
trated hers since the strike
aid the Governors found for us
I believe that your organizktion would
8tnd much Btronger if when you; are
wfong when any part of your organi
zation is wrong, you would just frankly
tell them so. That is the way to main
tain power, y
iUarley: 1 don t think wS have ever
failed in telling them so if it was Droved
to us that they were wrong. Let us ar
bitrate and see whether they are wrong
or not. . : j: I
: Gould: This? strike was made be
cause the receivers of the Texas Pacific
discharged a man. There was never a
complaint or a pretext that we had done
anything.- On the contrary they said we
had not. They had no case aeainst us "
McDowell. The practical question
seems ; to- be that Gould expresses him
self in the. strongest way as a belieyer in
and in favor of arbitration. I Let i the
men be ordered to go, to work and let
u have these questions settled by arbi
tration. Powdefly is; a very: sick man
and he wants to go away. .

am in favor of arbitration as a principle
of settleiment of; wrohgs or t claims be-
tween , maiviauais. x told Air. none,

Powderly: That is what they claim.
Gonld: There: are two parties to an
arbitration. If we are going to arbi
trate we should know irom the men
whether they wanted arbitration and
whether they would submit, to arbitra
tion and abide by arbitration. There
will have to be an agreement by the
company and by each employee. Oth
erwise it would be of no binding effect.
Hayes: We ay the employees will
arbitrate and are willing to give an
agreement to that effect.
Gould: The law in an arbitration is
that the parties to be affected by it shall
execute an instrument under seal, obli
gating themselves to submit to arbitra
tion and to abide by the result, f
Hayes: Wo are prepared to: stand
upon that platform. We will sign all
the instrument. The people in the
southwest are ready at this moment to
obey any command we say in every re
spect, -afe ' I- j ; ;
(Some of the' railway people intimated
that the Knights of Labor did not abide
by the decision of the arbitrary commit
toe before when it was against them.) ;
Hays said: News comes this morning
that Irons is at St. Louis, and is ready
to obey any command issued by this
board.
McDowell: Mr. Powderly, the point
of difference, if it is a difference (I
don't know that it is) is you are drifts
ing in this discussion to an arbitration
between the employees and the railroad
and your communications have been as
to arbitration . between your organiza
tion and the road.
Gould Now we are committed, you
know;' we are. on record in regard to
that; it seems to me if you coulo agree
with Gen. Swayne, he being here; I
will put it his hands. ;
Several of the parties returned and
had a private consultation. They de
sired to go over the draft of a labbr bill,;
to go before the House of Representa
tives. The parties again met. A
telegram was sent to Hoxie and bis reply
wa. rcd. In the telegram to Hoxie the
question was asked. Do. you agree with
h -.a' proposition-and are you ; willing
to open an arbitration? 5 Our board
thinks this would be a wise and proper
thing to do." Hoxie's reply was as
follows: "My view is that the company
should at all times promptly and j fairly
hear all complaints of its employ jes,
either by hearing the employers) them
selves or a committee of their number;'
all of whom are of the same class as
those affected by the alleged grievances
If the matters of difference between the
company and its employees or any por
tion of them are of such a character as
to be .susceptible of an arbitration:
which can be made legally bind jng upon
both party, I see no objection to arbi
tration in such a ease." t : !'ir ! It
'-'rMoterJlBite'' was epeived!
from Hoxie, in which he said; L am
therefore willing to meet a committee of
our employees, without discrimination r
who are actually at work in the Service
of the company at the time such com
mittee is appointed to adjust with them
any grievances that they may have " '.
ibis was delivered to Powderly and
as a result this message was sent
by Frederick Turner, secretary of the
executive board of the Knights of Labor:
"Martin Irons, ct. Louis. Have been in
conference all day, with the result that
vice-president Hoxie agrees to the ; folt
lowing: 'I am willing to meet a con

1 Washinotos, April 15. Sxwatx.
Mr, Logan took the floor' in support of
the movement for open executive ses
sions. He preferred his own resolution,
he said, because it provided broadly for
open sessions on all matters of- nomina
tion and confirmation. Without going in
to, the history, of secret sessions, Mr.
Logan would simply premise by Baying
that there was pot now and never was
any necessity for secret sessions o'f the
Senate. .: ,;
I Mr. Logan jrSad from Story's Com
mentaries on the Constitution the strong
disapproval of secrecy as to public bus
iness and the statement that it was not
in accord with the spirit of the constitu
lion. The power of public, opinion wbs
Rising on this subject, he said4 The
people felt that they must and should
know what the Senators were doing.
They were demanding open doors for
the. proceedings of the Senate, "and the
doors will be i Opened," Mr. Logan
pointedly added.- "Mark what I tell
you, and it will not be long, either."
Mr. xuddieberger, in withdrawing
the: substitute , offered by him for the
Open executive: session resolution, said
be had offered j it in the belief that a
wo-thirds vote was necessary to pass
the resolution for which he intended his
resolution to be a substitute. Finding:
that the present form of the resolution
would require only a majority vote, he
would withdraw the substitute. He
laid he Would call up the matter every
morning until it was disposed of. He
did hot propose that it should be allow
ed to die out. " As to how the secrets of
executive sessions got out, Mr. Kiddie-
rer said if be were permitted to
guess he could tell. "I have a private
secretary, for ' instance," , said Mr
Kiddleberger,: "and consider him
particularly private. I walk down
the street with him and he asks me a
question or two, and being smarter than
am he knows more in five minutes
Shan I will learn in . a week. Then he
gives it to somebody ele and the whole
newspaper fraternity gets it. My ob
servation is that if you would undertake
to exchange : intelligence, : newspaper
men would have the best of this Senate
by a large majority. That is the way
the secrets get put." j-
It was nearly 2 o clock when the se
cret sesaion discussion ended. The re
mainder of the time until 2 o'clock was

for no- appropriation which was not de
manded by the-interests of the country.

some of the appropriations as a prodi

blocks. The storm cloud was as black
as night, with clear sky on either side. -The
courthouse is now a heap of ruins
and several of the cdunty officers were

timbers, doors, pieces of furniture, etc.,
Only the city hotel remains intact. The
Northern Pacific depot was . literally
