AWAITING DEFINITE DETAILS.
ST. LOUIS, March 16.-Up to noon to-
day nothing had been received here
from striking points on the Missouri
Pacific indicating definitely whether
the men will accept Vice-Presidont
Hayes circular as n solution of the
trouble and reCJrn to work. Dispatches
from few points, dated last night, show
that some men as individuals view the
circular favoraoiy, but tho managing
committees of the various points hold
off aud will give no directions until in
structions come from Sedalia, AT one
or two points in Texas, trains have been
made MP and moved, and at Hannibal,
Missouri, three trains, il is said, have
been sent out, but so far no general ac
ton has been taken, and everybody is
waiting advices from headquarters at
Sedalia.
NOT BINDING ENOUGH.
The Missouri Pacific officials here
state that the strikers at Sedalia, Par
sons, Denison and Atcbison refuse To
return to work unless written guaran-
tee is given not to discharge any of the
strikers within year from date and
place other men ia their places, when
all returned to work. No action has
yet been taken ~ the railroad officials
AN AGREEMENT THAT APPEARED VAGUE.
tho line If the Missouri Pacific this
morning. The men viewed yes
terday's circular of Messrs. Hayes and
Hoxie very coldly, and expressed
a good deal OF dissatisfaction at its
vagueness on some points and declined
to 20 to work. The following dispatch
may be regarded as evidence of tle gen
eral temper OF the men:
Sedalia. Mo-, March ~, lSS5.-To III. M
HOxie, st. Louis:

clearly defines the position of the rail-
road company 1t evidently had good
effect, for before night dispatches were
received at headquarters here convey
ing the gratifying Intelligence that the
men had returned to work and that the
business of The road fully resumed.

recommendation OF tho state |
officials was issued il entire
good faith, without any intention |
Of taking any advantage Of trivial cir
cumstaDces to thWart the purposes ex-
pressed in the circular. Our attorneys |
advise me that it is a binding contract
on the par5 OF the company
towards their employees, and
further engagement oil
good faith with the highest CIVIL au-
thorities in the state, which L consider
more binding than any other that can
be made.

ROSEATE OUTLOOK.
There is nothing new here now, at III
d. M, in regard To the committee of en-
eineers referred to in another dispatch.
IT is not apprehended that any serious
trouble will grow out of their
visit. They will probably have
a conference tomorrow with Messrs.
Hayes and Hoxie, aud it is hoped that
whateyer grie gaDces they may have
will be amlcably and satisfactorily ar
ranged.
