to the Knights employed upon roads west
| Of the Mississippi, prohibiting the handling
or repairing of Wabash rolling stock has

kilograms have been received by them from
different parts of the State, from branch as
semblies of the national organization in
dOrsing the issuance of the general order
and indicating their intention to stand by
it. Meetings Of the Knights all over the
West will be held as the order is received
by them, and it is expected that concerted
action will be taken by the 21st at the
latest.
T. j. Russell. of the committee, says that
the resolutions calling for the Impeachment
of United States Judges Brewer, Treat and
Krekel, will be carried out, if possible.
Congressman Warner and General Palmer
will draw the articles Of Impeachment,
which will be introduced into Congress and
pushed with all the influence which the
Knights can command. Trouble is expected
at Kansas City shortly. A number of the
yard and train men at that pointare Knights,
and in obedience to yesterdays order it is
thought that they will refuse to handle
Wabash cars. in consequence of which all
the Wabash freight will be side-tracked.
80 p. m.-NOthing yet has been re-
ceived from any point in the State or be-
yOnd of any trouble growing out of yester-
will occur for day or two, or until the
pal points ON the roads named in the order
The National Executive Committee having
turned the whole matter over to the district
committees, with power to act, they will
issue no more orders, and started this morn
ing for the East, where they have some
other matters to look after. Members Of
the committee representing the knights
on the Southwest System left for their
homes last night. and will more fully
explain yesterdays order to the vari-
Gus assemblies. The Wabash committee
will remain here and transact such business
as may be necessary. There has been no
delay to passenger trains SO far and none
seems to be apprehended Immediately,
although it is understood that the order ap-
plies to passenger coaches as well as to
freight cars and other rolling stock. Nor
has there been any detention to freight
The movement of trains in the Union Depot
yards has in no wise been disturbed as yet
Up to late hour tonight there was no
strike news, either local or from outside
points The order of yesterday, it appears,
was not mailed until to-day, therefore it will
be couple of days before any action can
be taken by the various assemblies at points
on the roads involved. The Wabash Ex-
ecutive Committee is still here, but it did
nothing to-day of public interest nor did it
receive any advices outside. Several as
semblies of Knights of Labor held meetings
tonight at which the order of the National
Executive Committee was presented and
discussed. The order will be posted in
conspicuous places in the railroad shops
and yards to morrow, and all Knights will
hold themselves in readiness for anything
that may turn up.
