| the Trouble.
GALVESTON, November 9.-The re.
suits of yesterdays agreement be.
tween the citizens committee and the
state executive committee of the
Rights of Labor, were manifest on
all sides to-day, every knight being
at his post. The wharves, railway
yards and cotton presses presented
scenes of the greatest activity. The
arbitration committee OF ten was an
nounced this morning aud the first
meeting was held at 10 o'clock. w.
l.. Moody, president of the cotton ex.
change, was chosen chairman by his
associate arbitrators. At u meeting
of the cOmmitte this morning, rules
were adopted for the hearing of evil
dcnce on both sides and George Sea-
ly, president of the Santa Fe railway,
appeared before the committee aud
formally answered for Captain Saw
yer, agent of the Mallory compauy,
pledgling that Mr.. Sawyer would
abide to the result of the arbitration.
AT the request of members OF the
committee representing commerce,
the knights submitted their griev-
ances in writing. An afternoon ses-
sion was held at which Captain Saw.
yer gave the Mallory side of the case,
and the committe then adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
Colored laboring people are wat CHI.
ing the outcome of the arbitration
with great deal of interest. Promi-
nent colored men, reviewing the stu

longshoremen employed on the NAL
Tory wharf, would not tamely submit
TO being replaced by the strikers, no
matter what the outcome of this ar
bitration may be- They hold that the
Mallory line made a contract ~
employ them SO long as they give
satisfaction aud perform their work.
The Mallorys admit the negroes are
giving good satisfaction and indica-
tions point to further trouble in the
matter, 30 matter how the arbitra-
ton results.
Adjutant-General King arrived in
the city tonight from Austin lie
has been ordered by Governor Ire
land to make personal inquiry INTO
the situation, both here and at Hous-
ton, aud is instructed to take such ac-
ton in the premises as shall seem
best TO him. Under this authority
King could call out the militia on
short notice. His presence at this
juncture of pending arbitration is lot
calculated to improve the situation.
The membership of the arbitration
committee is as follows. For the
Knights of Labor:-P. III. G olden, Gal q,

IT. TRANSFERRED this evening that the
district assembly, knights of Labor,
OF this city, to-day made very strange
request of Mayor Fulton. The dis
trict executive officers, Patrick Emmett
and Samuel Eldridge addressed a for
NAL communication to his honor ask |
ing him to dismiss Patrolmen
Davies, Sparks, Bebrechl and
Warren from the police force. on the
grounds that they have been indulg-
idg in violent conversation on the
street, which, they charge, is cIlcu-
lated to arouse an incendiary feeling |
aud precipiIate trouble. Sparks. De- |
bruhl aud Warren are colored men,
aud nOpe of the four policemen are
of the knights OF Labor or
ganization.
Mayor Fulton replied TO this de-
mind, stating it was impossible for
him to comply with such u request. |
for If he admitted that any organixG-
ton had the right to demand
the removal of faithful police
men, then there was moth |
ing preventing other organizati Gus |
from demanding the dismissal OF the |
heals of departments of the city gov
ernment. The mayor also stated |
that he had inquired into the charges
laid against the aforesaid officers, and |
could not find that they had been
guilty OF anything merlting dismiss
al or censure. This movement on the
part of the local knights Is strongly
censured wherever II is known An
other feature of the situation was
developed tonight, it being learned
that the United States authorities
yesterday made tender of aid
aud protection to the citizens
committee - United States Attorney
Asa Stratton, offered to supply the
requisite number of deputy marshals
to protect the trainmen in taking out
ireights. This offer was declined,
however. in view of the proximity of
settlement by arbitration.
While matters are apparently run
ming smoothly under the al bitration
agreement, II is evident the strike
has engendered deep feelings Of au-
cipathy between the colored and
white laborers OF Galveston, aud the
demand for the removal of the three
colored policemen is but the outcrop.
ping of this hatred.
