il4 response to; a question by Mr.
Ci-afi, the wiiness made a statement
covering all the details of the attempt to
arbitrate between the Knights of Labor,
reprfsehted by Mi.; Powderiy, and the
Missouri Pacific, represented by Mr.
Goud.: Be read letters which had passed
between these genjtlemen March,27, and

:f Tpe witness then proceeded with his
statement. After, .the delivery by Mr.
Powderiy, of Jhe? seoond letter to Mr.
QouldJ he saw Mr. Gould personally,
ahdthat gentleman expressed ; a desire
to meet Mr. Powderiy and ' himself on
the I following i day. They met Mr.
Gould' on the following : day at 11
o' click and were received into; the par
lor! Mr. Hopkins joined in the inter
tiew. I Mr. Gojuld: expressed himself so
hstrolgly in favor kf arbitrating the dif
ficulties that it i seemed to .the; : witness
tha an agreement was sure to be
reaeed They met again in the even
ing! and Mr. Gould produced and read
to Sr. PowderlyL as the result of the
morning conversation, a' telegram: he
proposed to send: to Mr. Hoxie. Mr.
Godld read the telegram down' to the
worlds, VWe see no objection: to arbi
tratlhg any difficulties betweeh the em
nloleea and the oomnanv. oast or fu
ture," and then asked Mr. Powderiy if
it vfas satisfactiry so far. Mr. Powderiy
answered in the affirmative. Mr. Gould
said. "Then let it end there." The
witless Suetrested that Mr. Gould should
fiutf the telegram into the form of a
ettr to Mr. Ijowderly, and'Mr. Pow
deriy agreed that if the general execu
tiy board approved of the! rest of the
let&r the men would be ordered back to
wokAfterMr.Pbwderly left Mr. Gould
plaied the letter in the witness ' hand,
witli the nhdeiMtanding that if the order
to go to work was issued, the border knd
letlsr: were to be ' given to the 'press
thai night. The order was issued
an iy and the; letter were given
to he press. ; He. afterwards saw Mr.
Gonld : and told him that j Chairman
O'Neill, of the House labor oommittoe,
has met he executive committee and
thef.commttee' had a copy of the pro
poed arbitration '.bill. ' They discussed
the bill together, the idea being that if
th! bill passed arbitration could be had
uiiSer the law, and if not psssed, the
bill would bej the base of arbitration.
Towards the end of the interview,: Mr.
Gclild received i telegram Which seemed
to disturb bim, and he said; there was
something wrong in St. Louis. The
wiiness said: "Don't, at this stage, split
hairs. Tell Mr Hoxie in taking the
min back to work to be blind." Mr
Gould wished to see Mr. Powderiy! but
that gentleman oould not go, and the
Wness and Mrf Turner went to Bee Mr.
Giuld, with the question from Powderiy:
Do I ' understand from your ; personal
letter of this date that your company re-

this point there was a good deal of noi&d
and confusion in the committee-room,:'
and the acting chairman cautioned the!
audience that any exhibition of feeling
would result in having the room: cleared
aad the doors closed. The witness pro'
eeeded witn toe History oi the feegotia
tions for a settlement and read the tele
grams which have already been pub
lished. i
Mr. Buchanan inquired whether, in
fact, if an order for the men to go to
work had been issued by the executive
board as a result Of the negotiations and
correspondence.
The witness replied that such an or
der had been issued the evening of
March 28. The order was predicated!
he said, on the correspondence and on an
understanding that an actual solution had.
been arrived at it was not until noon
of the next day that any suggestion of

The ultimate result was that three mem
bers of the executive board Went to St.
Louis. Hayes oould tell the ex"eeutive
committee what took place there.! The
witness was not present. Another at
tempt was made at New Yorh-to bring
about a conclusion, to which the witness
was a party. He had met Cyrus Wi
Field. ' i i

told me of a difference which had oc
curred with the employees on the ele4
vated roads in New York, and regretted
that a settlement could not have been
brought about as reasonably and quickly
as on that occasion, l showed- him a
etter in regard to that line, frhich;
had received rrom jfowderiy.; He;
asked me to lend him the letter, He
saw Gould and reported to me that
Gould had said that if he could see
owderly in person for half an boor he
had no doubt be could briog the matter j

quica conclusion, a started ior j
bcrantun, where Powderiy wss, and told
him what 1? leld had said, and asked him
to go to New York with me the next
" -ar-. a .
morning. I'owaerly was sicx and una
ble to so. and he. authorised me to rep
resent him in attempting to reach a con
elusion. He wrote and handed me-the.
etter (reading the one already 1 pub
ished). I went with it the next morn-
ing to Jf ield s house, ue took : it to.
Gould's house, where there was a con
ference. He came to me in the af
ternoon and told me that ' Gould
said the strike was entirely ended; thai
the only strike which existed was at
East St. Louis, on the railroads in
which he had no interest, except tlie
Wabash, and that was in the hands of i
United States court, and could hot be
interfered with by the strikers. . :Field
was called away; to .Boston, and bad to
leave; after telling me what he did. I
have not seen him since. .1 s
Mr.' Crain : Was the strike ended isl
fact? . ! u :. A li j
Witness: I have felKthat the most
complete viotory t$at Gould could gain
over the men would be .the most! eonf
piete failure to him; that the true out
come of this thing, which wouldf have
been the result of arbitration, l would
have insured good will on both sides,
and any settlement which did not bring
tnat witn it was a complete iauure.
Mr. Burns:' ; Have you sufficient evi
dence to enable you to state that the
men on strike in St. Louis would have
promptly obeyed the order to 'resume
work if Hoxie had complied with the
order sent to him by Gould?
Witness: 1 have not the slightest
doubt of it.
Mr. Burns:; Have you any evidence
tending to show any secret instructions
from Gould to Hoxie, inconsistent with
his telegraphy dispatch, embodied in
his letter to Powderiy?
Witness: Nothing, except in Powder-
ly's dispatch to the "letter of instrue-
mvub uim auiu ui vwd . wi.uiii v" mw
line. The witness here read circular
No. 12tj, signed by Rockwell, directing
that no foreman should be employed
who was a Knight of Labor. J
Mr. Crain: What was the original
cause of this strike r
Witness, in reply to this quest
made a long statement, involving the
difference between the principle of pay
ment by day work and hw piece! work
and quoted Gould as saying that, by
making a change of that ; sort in
the Western Union telegraph company,
he had effected a' saving of oU per cent.
This was so general that the order hid
increased more in the month of Febru
ary last than it had in the priori eight
years. As an additional reason, he
alleged that the universal system of wa
tering railroad stock which ; made it
necessary far railroad managers to screw
down tne rates oi laoor as mucu a possi

brothers Morrison and Randall will

eidents and mostly the same palaver of
tne last uongress will again be inflicted
on tne country. ; ihe newspaper corres
pondents; here have completed a canvass
of the House, undertaken with a view
to ascertduBing, the relative strength of
the j "protectionists" and revenue re
formers. It is probable that Mr. Ran
dall; will secure 23 Democratic " votes,
including his own, against the bill, as
.follows: All those from Ohio, 10;
from Pennsylvania; 5; West Virginia,3;
1 from each of the States of New York,
New Jersey, Maryland and California,
and it is probable George D. Wise, of
Virginia, will again vote with him.
Messrs. Storm andSwope, Pennsylvania
Democrats, will hot stand by Mr. Ran
dall in his opposition to the present
bill,! but ; have announced an
intention to vote for ;it. The
twenty-three votes, however, would
serve to defeat for the measure if the
Republicans were solid in their opposi
tion to it. Such is not the ease, how
ever, for there are certainly three, and
there may be five, who will Bupport the
bill. The passage of the new: bill, then,
by amajority of two or four,? is regard-
ed as about the figures a betting man
would gamble on. In the last House,
you will remember, the bill was defeat
ed by a majority of two. Of course the
bill would be killed in the Senate,; with
out the benefit of clergy.'' even, if it
passed the House; bo there is no pros
pect of its becoming a law.
LXGISIiATTVI LORS.
The people of North Carolina will be
glad to know that the prospects are very
good for some legislation affecting the
present internal revenue laws. A large
number of this class of bills have been
introduced, but the ones which appear
to meet with most favor are ! that pro
viding for the abolition of the tax oh
brandy distilled : from fruit, !in certain
eases ; and the bill prepared by Messrs.;
Beid and Henderson, and introduced by
tne latter, to moauv tne nunisnmenc
for violations of the law, making it dis-
eretipnary with? the judge in a great
measure. As you were informed last
week through your dispatches, the com
mittee on the judiciary instructed judge
Bennett to report this bill favorably,
and Our delegation hope' and ; expect to
see it pass both houses ; and this is the
kind of ' 'revenue reform' ' we like to see
brought about, f " i
The House committee on education
has reported favorably the Senate bill
to introduce as a branch of study in the
public schools of Washington and the
Territories, instructions as to the effects
Of intoxicants upon the human system.
Petitions asking for the passage of this
bill have been received from every tem
perance organisation in the: country.
The North Carolina legislature would
do a wise "act'l by passing a : similar
measure. In my opinion the operations
of such a law would work wonders with

The existing labor troubles: in this
country elicit much earnest thought
among, and is a source of grave appre
hension with many of, the nation's leg
islators. The Committee oh arbitration
expect to have a number of witnesses
before it this week, including; Gould
and Powderiy; and next week : they go
to the southwest, the scene of the prin
cipil trouble. Dispatches ; from New
York state that these gentlemen have
not been subpoenaed, as heretofore tele
graphed you, but that they;; will volun
tarily appear before the committee. Mr
Hopkins is expected to arrive today
CWednesdav when he will irivev his
views on the question. A largely-attended
labor mass meeting was held here
Monday night. A number of prominent
Knights and several Congressmen de
livered addresses.. The burden Of nearly
all the speeches, especially those of the
the Knights of Labor organization,
was that they should and would break
away from slj existing political party
ties and form a political organization of
their own at no distant day; that they
Would accomplish their ends by the bal
lot rather than by the bullet. To an
unprejudiced outsider, however, it is
not clear how a purely workingmen's
party would embrace a majority of the
voting population, unless the agricultu
ral element, which constitutes, one-third
of the people of this country; could be
induced to join such an organization.
Both the old parties, especially the dem
ocratic parjy, seem disposed to remove
any real grievance the working people
may have, and especially where toey
hold the balance of power men are apt
to be ' nominated for offices ; who are
kindly disposed toward them. This
advantage they would throw away
by nominating third candidates who
could not hope to be elected. As
a distinctive oroDOsition of 'canital
versus labor, I am for and with
the laboring man every time; but it is
not always wise and it sometimes does
not pay to be politically too independent.

Mr. Call offered a resolution whioh, on
his motion, was referred to ther judiciary
committee, directing, that committee to
it quire whether any legislation is neces
sary and if so what to require the Uni
ted btates courts, when they take posses
sion of railroad property in any State,
to carry into effect the obligations of
the charter of incorporation granted by
such State, and to prevent the violations
of the same by such
courts snd offi'
cers thereof and the
wrongful: appro-
priation of the assets
and receipts of
sUch corporation in the
interest of indi-
viduals. In -offering the; resolution Mr.
Call referred to his recent speech on the
Florida land grants, especially in con
nection with the Florida railroad com
pany in which he had commented on
the course pursued by the United States
court and ithe conduct of the receiver
appointed by it. Mr. Call read a letter
received by him from thej receiver
which stated that the information on
whilh some: of his (Call's) statements
were founded was false and malicious.
Mr. Call said he had no reason to sup
pose the receiver was not an honorable
and truthful man, but was Obliged to
add that the: gentleman from whom he
(Call) had i received information was
equally honorable and truthful, and the
facts were as stated.; The judiciary

In the: morning hour the House re
sumed the consideration of the bill for
the relief of the Alabama flood sufferers,
and it was suggested by Mr. Cannon, of
Illinois, who thought theUouse was justi
fied, under: precedents, throughhumani
ty in giving the relief.
Mr. .Beach, of INew I or k, while he
was willing to put his hand in his own
pocket for relief of Alabama suffer-
erg was : not willing to ; indulge
his sympathy or benevolence by
putting his hands into the pockets
of others; It was time that a stop
should be put to this kind: of legisla
tion, and it was the DemocraUo party
which should put a stop to it. I

. Vibkna, April 21. The condition of
affairs at Strye among the people who :
lost their homes by the great fire is most!
pitiful.! Meat of the victims are with, i
out food or means and are rendered dee-
perate , by the thought of starvation.
Farmers in. the vicinity have .been vis
ited by mob of men who have first de
manded food and then, if refused, atolen
it. Owners of farms are now compelled
to barricade their houses as the-j only
way to guard: them from being plun
dered of food by the mob which, on ac
count of hunger, is becoming uneontrol
able. Numerous struggles for jfood,
resulting in bloodshed, have taken place
All the public archives and registers of
Strye were lost in the fire. It willibe
necessary to ask grants of money from
the Lemberg diet and the Reichstag to
relieve the distress of thousands of des
titute people. The search for tie re
mains of persons who lost their lives
during the conflagration has been pro
ceeding as rapidly as circumstances
Would allow. Thus far sixty-eight bodies,
charred so as to make recognition diffi
cult, have been taken from the ruins.
There have been twenty deaths in the
fields since Sunday, of invalids, young
and old, who were taken out of town to
escape the flames. (1 ;
