' -Seldom has the cable brought
more tragic atory than that which comei
from Madrid. A priest chose the morr
ing of Palm Sunday, to assassinate the
Bishop of Madrid at the moment when
he was ascending the steps to enter the;
Cathedral. The sacrilegious murderer
did his wort onlj too well. He fired
three ahoU from a revolver at his vio
tim, inflicting fatal wounds, before he
was arrested. ' His motive for the deed!
issaid to have been revenge.
;Tne military committee of CoDgress
'u now called, upon to wrestle with a
mv eomplioation. One of the Wash
ington paptrt lavi that of 150,000 army

a oondmoat inat when oonamtea v&y
must be pieoed together like ft puuie.
Fifteen? clerk are employed now in

this would require an immense force, of

print these rolls would entail an expense
of $8,000,000. -
"?l The Senate rejected the petition of
Mexico for a new treaty to adjust the
VVeil and La Abra claims. The vote
was in favor to Zb against, out a
treaty ratification; requires a majority of
to-tmrds. After damages had been
awarded American citixens under these
claims by Sir Edward Thornton, acting
aa umpire, Mexico charged perjury and
fraud in both cases, based on later dis
ooyeries, and asked a rehearing." For
nearly ten years, this request has been
hanging fire, k The vote indicates that a
majority: of the Senate believe the
charge of fraud is sustained.

! Washington, . April 22. The doors
off the room of the House committee
oe elections were kept closed this morn
ing until the special committee, investi
gating the causes and extent of ; the
labor troubles in the West, were pre
pared to proceed with the examination
ofj Jay GoukU , Across the hall, outside
the roem was stretched a barrier, be
yond which were allowed to pass only
th members of the committee, repre
sentatives of. i the Knight ' of Labor,
several gentlemen accompanying Gould,
including his consul, Gen, bwayne and
vwe-presidenv Hopkins, newspaper men
and several members ot uongress. who
were animated by a curioBity to hear
the testimony: of the great finanoier.
Aa; that gentleman came forward to
take the oath all eyes were fixed upon
him, and his -response, "I. do," was
given in a low tone. , . -
The Uhairman. It is the desire of the
committee, Mr. Gould, that you give us
testimony m respect to tho investigation
in which we are engaged, and for -the
tune I leave your examination to Mr.
Burns. ..
The witness wished to know the scope
of the resolution under which the com
mittee was acting.
1 Mr. Burns stated that a selectcommit
tee had been authorized bv the House
of Representatives to investigate the
causes and extent of the disturbed con
dition now existing between the railroad
corporations engaged in carrying : on
inter-State commerce and their em
ployees in the States of Hlinoig, Mis
souri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas.
Mr. Gould: It is true that! the Mis-
eoupi Pacifio runs through some of these
dtates, but at this time we have no dif
ference with our men and -are not.
strictly speaking, within the rule of that
solution.. But I will be very glad to
speuu my tune, m tailing to the com
mittee, though I hardly think they want
to spend their valuable time in talking
ta me. : Being requested, however, to
proofed, i Gould ; wont on to give
pis f testimony in a low voice, which
Was I generally calm, but which now
andjthen trembled slightly, as though
it were shaken witb excitement or emo
tion At times he removed bis gold
rimtped spectacles and paused in his
speech, as he carefully wiped them with
hw hndkerchief. Beside him sat Gen.
Swayne, who relieved him of the work
of reading the printed matter, and with
whom ho now and; then consulted in an
undertone. On' the 15th of April. h

bid, and at our terminal facilities, 397
men total, 10.737 men. not including
our general oflicers. The operations of
our road (and I speak from thirty years'
experience; are carried on in a perfectly
regular and orderly way. Trains are
all .. rfltni! and; J the business we
were chartered "to dq 4 is I being
transacted regularly. Here isl a 'dis
patch I received since I left New York.
This represents the business that was
done Ian to 12.35! p. m. of this day.
Apnl 21st: ''Two hundred; and? ninety
fireight trains moved yesterday, contain
ing 4647 loads, an increase of seventy-
four trains and l.odi wads, compared
With the same day of last year. Quiet
reigns at all points on the line,, trains
doing!; well." I submit to the commit
tee whether we dome within the ruling
of the! committee. ; ' ; '
Mr Bums : I believe that this
duestion has been snbstantiallv i passed
upon by the committee, and it is the in
tention of the committee that we invea
tigateiallthe oirenmstances and facte re
lating! to the troubles, and therefore we
propose to examine you with regard to
the proceedings antecedent to tne re-
anmrition of business.
Wifiiess: Well, I thought it was only
proper that I should state that fact to the
committee; At the date oi tne resolution
we were operating the road in a regular
and formal manner and performing all
tbe duties our charter called for. .
1' Mr.! Burns: Please state your resi
dence j age and occupation.! ,.
I Wiiess: I Teside in New York city; I
am 49;years of age; I am president of the
Missouri Pacifio railroad, and have been
since: 1879. ft
f- a-a - f SJtT ; VJ 1 A
j Hums: j we wouia lixe tor you now
to inform us if there has been any inter
ruption to commerce passing' over the
lines of the road you represent, En Mis
souri, Illinois, .Kansas, Arkansas and
Texas', and if so.w.hat interruption, and
so far as you know, the cause of that in
terruption. . ' i
Witness: Do you want me to Btate
simply what I know, or facts that cam
to my knowledge as president of tbe
corporation? Because 1 ought to state
tb the? committee that I left New York
the 5th of January, with my family on
mv yacht, for a cruise in the West In
'-W- . . -T . i, -
dies. : i returned to new xorx tne 3rd
of March. The strike occurred while
I was way, and my knowledge of it
comes' from such omcial information as
received as president of the company
since my return, ; ! .
Mr Burns: We ' understand that.
Necessarily yon will be, compelled to
give many things from omcial informa
tion. You will, of course, in testifying,
discriminate that which you know from
that Which you have from official in
formation? We would like for you1 to
go over the whole ground and give us,
not only wnat you xnow, Dui wnatyou
have reason to believe.
I The first recognition, proceeded the
Witness, hich our company made, as
far !! know, of ibs) Knights of Labor,
came eut of the strike in April of last
year. I was away at the time and until
August. ; In August Mr- Powder ly came
to New York with the committee. That
was the first time I had anything, to do
with him. He stated their view, which
was that the part of the road that was
in the hands of the receivers should re
instate a large number of men who were
Knights of Labor, who had left the em-
Eloy of the company, and whose- places
ad been largely filled. The impression
seemed to be that I practically con
trolled all the railroads ; in the
United States, and that the sun
did not rise or the moon set
without some sanction of mine. .1 had
nothing to do with i the road. : I ex
plained that to them ."While this inter
view was going on my time 1 came to
leave. I turned to the committee and
said : "Now, gentlemen, has the Mis
souri Pacifio lived up to her agreement
with, you? I want to know thA."
They said, "Yes, you have." "Well
then," said I, "I want it now under
stood that if you have any grievances
hereafter against the Missouri Pacific
you shall not strike, but you will come
to me man-fashion and we will talk it
over and settle it." They agreed to
that and I said good-bye and left
had no further communication with
them. I went off on a yachting
cruise in January, relying on the good
faith of that arrangement being . carried
out. This strike came on whil e : I was
away. The Texas Pacifio was in the
hands of the United States court and
not under our control at all. In the course
of business the receivers discharged a
man named Hall, and .that act was taken
as a pretext, and the sole pretext for
the strike on our road. Our men told
Hoxie that they had no grievance.; They
were ordered to strike and that was the
only thing they could do. Mr. Powderly
telegraphed that he saw from the public
press that the strike was caused by the
discharge of Hall and asked if he could
be reinstated. Hopkins rechedi that
Iall was employed by the Texas Pacifio
and not by the 'Missouri Pacific." and
hat the latter road had no control over
the receirp. To this message, con
tinued the witness, no answer was
vouchsafed.
We had at the date of the strike in
March, 14, 315 employees; the Knights of
Labor strikers numbered 3,717, but
they were not men who were necessary
to the operation of the road. They , were
men in the machine shops, men along
the track, switchmen, men who perform
the lower duties of the railroad,: so that
if those 3,717 men had struck and left
the premises we would not have missed a
train.. Our business would have; gone
along as regularly as clock work, i But
following the leaving of our" employ
ment what did they do! They exercised

hey took St. Louis, Bedalia, Atchison,
lansas City, Parsons, Fort Worth,
ittle Rock and Texarkana. TheV took
forcible possession of them arid said.
No man shall run- a train oyer that
road." That is what they said.
"What did Hoxie do?"
lie said, xney nave taken posses
sion of our road. We have got no earn
ings now," and he wasrced to write
an address to all the men suspending
payment,- and thus 10,000 men ; who
were loyal to the company, who could
run our trains every day, were deprived
of their work,, of their power to earn
their livings; That was what followed
the strike seizure you can call It by
no other word forcible seixure--some-
thing that the Czar of Russia would hes
itate to do with his millions of soldiers
behind him.
Mr: Hoxie's address to the men was
then read by Mr. Swayne, and as he
was reading it Mr. Powderly entered
the room.
The Chairman: "What was Hall
charged with ? Whaf crime had he
committed? What was the reason of
his discharge ?" 1
in response to' this question ! Mr.
Swayne, at the request of Mr. Gould,
read a statement issued by receiver
Brown, declaring that Hall was an in
competent man, and that he was dis
charged for absenting himself without
leave.
Mr. Swavne also read in the same
connection the reply of Hoxie to the two
Governors, stating that good and 'com
petent men would be employed by the
company without regard to their past or
present relations to the company or to
the Knights of Labor; also the reply of
the Knights of Labor to the two Gov
ernors. Gould then resumed his state
ment. He said "that correspondence
shows pretty conclusively the truth of
the proverb that you may lead a horse
to the watering trough but cannot make
him drink. Our Bhops were open for
the men to go to work, and if they did
not go it was not our fault; I met Mr
Powderly at my house in New York 09
Sunday, the 28th of March. At the
time of that interview the road was in
full operation at all points except Fort
Worth. Texas, and FarBons, Kansas.
met Messrs. Powderly and McDowell at
my house Sunday and had a talk with
them. They brought np the question of
arbitration, which nad oeen covered by
correspondence, and which I had very
firmly declined. I never was more
positive in my life than I was when
made that declination.
Mr. Gould here read stenographic
- . 1 a
notes of the interview, ana ne ; con
tinued:' ."I beliete that in the investi
gation yesterday there was reference to
a letter of instructions. There was no
letter Sent except Sir. Powderly's let
ter. What Iloxie meant by a letter of
instructions was my letter addressed to
Mr. PowdeHy which he saw in the
newspapers that morning. I want to
say very distinctly that there have been
no instructions issued other than those
embodied in that letter. They have
been lived up to by the company from
that tune to this. ;
When I met Mr. Powderly on Sunday
our whole system was in operation ex
cept at Parsons and Fort Worth. Our
earnings for the first week of April were
equal to those of the same week last
year, and the earnings of the second
week in April were $30 000 more than
for the corresponding week last year,
so that (as I said at the beginning of
my remarks) it Beems to me that the
resolution under which the committee is
actiqg does not really apply to the Mis
souri Pacifio railroad.
Mr. Burns : ."When you prepared
your dispatch to Hoxie, did you intend
at that time to leave him entirely free to
act according to his own judgment?
Did you intend it as ft peremptory order
or merely as advisory?"
x Mr?, Gould : "Not even as advisory.
I intended it as a matter of precaution:
I meant to put the whole matter in his
hands to give him entire control and
td hold him responsible for results. f
Mr. Burns : In your testimony as
to this dispatch to Hoxie, you seem to
favor; the principle of arbitration for the
settlement of contentions between
employers and employees. Give us the
result of your experience and efbserva
tton as to how that principle can be car
ried out practically.
Mn Gould : ! Arbitration is getting
to be a very easy and popular way of
settling difficulties between individuals
and corporations, and between corpora
tions .and their, individual employees.
I Jbave always been in favor of arbitra
tion. I I regard the employees of a rail
road as upon a different tooting from
the employees of a manufacturing or
other; private corporation. The railway
corporation acts ja two senses. First
as; a private organization and second,
as: a public corporation having a contract
with the State by which it has certain
duties to. perform. These duties are to
b performed not by the railroads and
engines alone, but by the entire
organization and they clothe themselves
with public duties from the President
to; the lowest employee. They clothe
themselves with public duties which ap
pertain to the operation of the railroad
as; an entirety. On roads operated by
receivers strikes are rapidly overcome,
because there is respect for the United
States court. The public has a right
U have the railroads operated. - Any
law which defines that right and couples
with it provisions for arbitration would
be a practical solution of the question.'
But arbitration should not be after the
men have struck and seized the property
of the railroad company. It Bhould be
the duty of men to keep on at their
work. ; The railroad is not merely rails,!
ties, gradings, locomotives and cars, but
it lis the whole thing. It is the duty
of somebody to manage it. Mr. Burns::
Might; not the general government
license and thereby govern and control
the officials of a railroad, frontnnrperiii-i
tehdent down. Gould: I think officials
assume that to be their duty now. It
might be made more distinct by some
enactment and then if an injustice be
doue there should be a mode of arbitra
tion. I have been always in favor of that
iThe- chairman : remarked '. that he
would be very glad to have the scope of
the committee's ' examination ; enlarged
sd as to extend to the mineral regions,
because if the committee meant anything
it meant to quiet the unrest in the
conntry and to provide a remedy for it.
Mr. ttouid (good humoredly ) s "I
shall be very glad to read the opinion
of the committee when a formal report
is arrived at, and j will keep any invest
ments I may have to make in abeyance
until then.0
The Chairman r "I hardly think vou
will do. that if you get a fair opportu
nity to 'have a shy at Wall street, and
Wv- a f a' j aa a.
wouia luce to De in partnership with
you." :
This closed Mr.. Gould's examination,
which extended over four hours. He
gave his testimony rery briefly and in
a low tone of voice and did not volun
teer any statement, ; confining himself
merely ; to answering questions asked
him. ; M
Mr. Hopkins, the vice-president of
the Missouri Pacific, was then sworn
and examined. He corroborated gener
ally Mr. Gould's account of the inter
Views with Mr. Powderly at which he
was present. He had always believed
m arbitration as a means of settlement
and he saw ho objection even to com
pulsory arbitration, provided it was
made compulsory on both sides. But
such arbitration would have to be be
tween employees : themselves (actually
at work) and the company. - That was
the point of the whole matter.

journed till 11 o'clock tomorrow. .

In the Senate today a large number of
petitions . were presented from local
assemblies of Knights of Labor, in Op
position to what is known as the Frye

Tomorrow being good Friday, tbe
Senate on motion of Mr. Edmunds
agreed that when it adjourn today; it

A message from the President re
lating to the labor troubles was laid be
fore the Senate. When it had been
read a question arose as to the commit
tee to which it should most appropriate
ly be referred, whether the judiciary:
committee1 or the committee on educa

printed and the question; of reference,
allowed to remain in abeyance. The'

The Senate electoral count bill with

of Mr. Caldwell, of Tennessee, made the
continuing special order for May 6.
Mr. Willb orn, of Texas,: from tbe
committee on Indian affairs, reported
back the Indian appropriation bill with
the Senate amendment, with' a recom
mendation that the same amendments
be agreed to and others non 'concurred
in. The recommendation was agreed to
and Messrs. Willborn, Peel and Perkins
were appoined as the committee of con
ference. ,. "1
' Adverse; reports were presented from
the judiciary committee by Mr. Tucker,
of Virginia, on a joint resolution propos
ing a constitutional amendment giving
the President power to veto specific items
in the appropriation bills, aid a lso on
bills to pre vent the adulteration of food.
They were laid upon the table.
In regard to the latter bills, the com
mittee believe them to be unconstitu
tional so far as they affect the several
States, and so far as they affect the Dis
trict of Columbia they are not properly
within the province of the committee. At
the expiration of the morning hour the
House in committee of the whole again
took up the river and harbor bill. .

Salt Laki City, April 22. A decis
ion was rendered yesterday in the noted
territorial office cases which Gov., Mur
ray and the Utah legislature split upon,
tli ,3 former claiming the territorial law
invalid which put the agents of the
church in :the offices of auditor and
treasurer, and the latter refusing to
yield to the Encumbents, thus ignoring
the (iovernor s nominations and his ap
peal to the; organio act. Judge Zane
rendered a decision sustaining the Gov
ernor in every point, maintaining the
supremacy of the national statutes and
ousting the old incumbents. It declares
the right of the Governor a appointees
(two Democrats and one Republican) to

officers under, the local statutes. The

over ever since, claiming the right to
hold the offices until their successors
were elected,' which could never be
done under .the rulings of the attorney
general and the commission.

and the loss is expected to be heavy.
The fire threatened one of the most
valuable business blocks in the city. 80
fiercely and rapidly did the- flames gain
headway that three alarms were sent
out. i These were supplemented by
several special, signals, and soon a dozen
fire engines were at work. When the fire '
was first discovered by a police officer,
the flames were issuing from the windows .
on the fifth story, but before the firs,
men could reach, the fire, the two
upper floors were one mass of flames.
Tne building was provided with a brick
roof and before this could: be broken
through to allow the firemen to get at
the fire the flames broke Out on the
Broadway front, getting thus a. good
draft The fire licked up everything
before it, and the flames rose higher and
higher and grew hotter each minute.
The firemen battered in the roof and
walls and succeeded in directing s
stream of water 6u the blazing mass. .
The opening once made scores of streams
began to play upon the roaring flames
and in less than an hour tjhe firemen .
had gained the upper hand of the
flames. The building is 200 feet in ex
tent, running from Broadway! to Crorby
street, and is practically a double build
ing. The ground floor of the south side
was occupied by A. Laufer & Co.,. im
porters and dealers in hats; Pensky &

front and back. The north end of the
building accommodates only two firms;
J. W. Goddard & Sons, importers of
silks and converters of cotton goods, !
have the ground foors and cellars, and
August Bernbeim, Bauer & Co. occupy
tbe remainder of this part of the build
ing. As the spring season stock had
all been! received by each of these firms,
the aggregate loss is estimated at $750,
000. The three upper floors: only are ;
burned out, but the entire building was
flooded with water. Messrs. j Goddard '
