Serious Aspect OF the st. Louis Street Ca
Strike-The Newspapers Raise a Warning
Cry. II
ST. LOUIS, April 27.-The Globe and Dem
ocrat, which has heretofore been on the side
Of the striking street cor conductors and drtv-
ers, expresses itself editorially this morning
as follows: The hope which We expressed
yesterday of an honorable and peaceable settle
lnent of the street car troubles has been, We
regret to say, disappointed. Mr.. Wells yester-
day conceded substantially all that had been
asked of him, but his offer was rejected. The
truth Is that the object of the strike has been
perverted. Originally an honest effort to Sc
cure reduction of the hours of labor, 1t be-
came yesterday an lmpudent demand for
control OF the business Of the different street
railroads. The SO. called Trades union has en-
tered into dispute with which 1t can legally
have no concern and now the ques-
ton is not how many hours
the men shall work or how much
wages they shall receive, but whether the com
panies are willing to be governed by rules laid
down by utterly. irresponsible organization
of utterly irresponsible men, controlled By
journeyman jaw movers in the pretended name
of labor. To this demand honorable men can
make but one reply, and that is in the mega
tive"
The Republican has long editorial on the
same subject, from which the following is
taken: fWhatever the original purposes OF
the strikers may have been, the form In which
it presented itself yesterday demands immedi
ate and decisive action at the hands of those In
authority. So long as the men contented them
selves with demand for shorter hours and a re-
fusal to work until their terms were complied
with, no one could object to their action, and
every one was at liberty to support those
claims by peacaful means, but the moment
the strike assumed, as was witnessed yester-
day, an attitude of hostile defiance OF the legal
authorities of the city and boisterous attack
upon the rights of person and OF property,
in those demonstrations forfeited the sympathy
of the w-abiding public and 'classed them
selves among the enemies of the peace and
good order of society.
A Gatling gun, ammun't 'tion. and everything
necessary to work It, also ammunition Tor
rifles was brought TO the city in very quiet
way this morning from the United States
arsenal, twelve miles down the river,
and is now in the armory of the National

commanding the First regiment, and is ready

thorities have not yet succeeded In obtaining
all the special men they want. The police com.

ais or other ways, either in peace or in war.
Senator Dawes objected to the resolution,
not so much on account of the sentiments
contained in 1t as on account of the fact that
it needed the concurrence of the House of Rep
resentatives. 1f M
After debate Morgan modified his resolution
80 as to make it Senate resolution, and 1t was
referred to the committee on foreign rela-
tions.
The Vice President then laid before the Sen.

the election of officers of the Senate. v ~

Hour.

From these figures it is evident the Mime
sofa flood has about spent its force, notwith-
standing the fact that further rises are report
ed at Mankato and New Ulm. From Monte
video the cheering news is received of fall of
three feet yesterday, which will undoubtedly
be supplemented to-day by like reports from
other points on that river slowly approaching
st. Paul. At the same time advices from the
upper Mississippi encourage tie hope that the
Minnesota food viii be we'll disposed of before
the rise fronAthis source reaches here.
As before stated, the highest water at this
point, substantiated by measurement, was In
1867, twenty.one feet, two feet, seven and a
o'clock last evening.
The situation along the river front on this
| the east bank of the river was not materially
changed from that of the day before. The
| fats in the upper portion of the city. above
| the M. & St. P. railroad depot at the foot of
Chestnut street, had then been submerged,
| forcing the occupants Of the few houses
! located thers to vacate their premises,
| leaving only their dwellings behind, which
still remain. The railroad tracks along the
bank of the river in front of the city lave not
yet been reached, and no break or washout has
been made in the levee. The same proportion.
! ate rise to day, however, will food the tracks
at several points, though even then it is moi
f: thought any serious washOut would occur.
/ Railroad officials are watching the bank
close, and whenever weak spot is discovered
rip rapping and other means of strengthening
are resorted to.
The rising waters have badly demoralized
| the platform around the outside OF the build.
| ing, and the floor of the steamboat warehouse,
which have been raised up and twisted out OF
place. While not anticipating the
building itself will be moved from
its supports, Capts. Reaney and Mat
thews have taken the precaution to
anchor the building to snubblng posts on the
Iefee, by means of strong hausers from each
| end of the structure.
The back water is doing some injury ant
| causing no little Inconvenience along the
mouth of Phalen creek, which has been trans
! formed into respectable sized lake, setting
back up to and beyond the st. Paul & Duluth
railroad shops. The large warehouse of th.
Standard Oil company. Just south Of Thirt
street, is almost completely submerged, tn,
water reaching nearly up to the roof, and hun

While the flood in the Mississippi river at
this point has not yet reached its elimination,
the situation this morning Is decidedly more
cheerful than twenty-four hours ago. Yes
terday we had to chronicle a rise the preceding
twenty-four hours of some four feet, or about
an average rise of two inches per hour, at

the most rapid rise ever known here. Against
this we have total rise, from 1895 Tuesday

WARRINGTON, April 27.-The caucus Of Be.
publican Senators met at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing, but it was II o'clock before anything like
full attendance was present. Senator Hale
led in advocating an executive session, and was
apposed by Senator Hawley, Sherman anu
several others. Most OF the Senator's were
rather non.committal. Logon was willing to
hold executive sessions, provided the Republi.
cans would not surrender any point OF the
pending tight. This seemed to be the prevail.
ing opinion, but without accomplishing any.
thing recess was taken to attend the Senate
session. The Senate adjourned at Q o'clock
this afternoon and the Republican caucus was
Immediately recommended resulting In the
appointment of committee, with Dawss as
chairman, to consider tbs question Of an ex-
ecutive secession and report back to the
caucus.

Conkling spoke Of his having been
held responsible for continuance Of the dead
lock, and said he had no objections to an ex-
executive session, that he Is we'll
prepared now to make his fight against
Robertson, and intimated his confidence OF
success. The reports that Senator Platt has
deserted Coukling are untrue. Senator Platt
sticks by Conkling In to.day's caucus and will
stand by him. Ex-senator Eaton, Of Connecti.
cut, warm friend of Conkling, is here advis-
ing Democratic Senator'S to vote against
Robertson. He came to help Copkling.
Some of the Presidents friends were then
willing to defer action until they could once
more confer with the President. While no do
cisiOn in favor OF an execuelve session was
reached, the Republican Senator's seem to- be-
leve that will be the outcome.
REBELlION.
Senator Miller to-day notified Dawes that
unless the Republicans moved for an executive
session, that he (Miller) would vote with the
Democrats for one. He feels bound to break
the deadlock. Another question somewhat
embarrassing is as to how Malone will feel
called upon to vote in executive session. If
he votes with Conkling against Robertson,
he will loose the friendship of the administra.
tion, and If he votes against Conkling, the lat
ter will be likely to antagonize nominations
made in behalf of Malone.
