the railroads which expected, through
the proclamation OF Gov. Ireland, 10 get
the aid of the local civil authorities.
News received here from Marshal, the
center OF tho strike, is to the effect that
negotiations are pending between the
roads and tho strikers. 1t il also ru.
mOred that a conference looking to tho
settlement of matters mas been called
by the roads at ST. Louis to meet to-
morrow, or as soon as possible, aud, If
possible, effect compromise.
A grand mass meeting was hold last
night at the corner OF Main and Murphy
streets, for the purpose OF
discussing the strike and tho
oppression of the strikers. The meet
ing, which was largely attended, was
enthusiastic, and Gould, Hoxie and
other railway magnatos, were handled
without gloves. Gov. Ireland's procla-
nation was denounced as unnecessary
and uncalled for, by the speakers, who
were, for the most part, residents.
The speeches were loudly applauded.
Among those who addressed the meet
ing were Messrs. w. Ernenwein, Coli
John b. Stone, W. c. Wolf, +. Morgan,
w. T. Strange, several section bosses
and others.
The following from the Photographers
Protective Union, of Dallas, was read
and received with rounds Of applause:
70 the Strikers:
Representing, as we do, not only the
telegraphers of Texas, but of the entire
United States, we offer you our undi-
yided support, morally and financially,
in your gallant tight against monopo-
lies, injustice and starvation wages.
Gould's slaves OF the wire extend SYM
pathy and aid to Gould's slaves of the
rail. We know little about striking
ourselves, having swallowed the bitter
pill OF defeat, but we are anything but
discouraged, and ere long will again be
able to bob up serenely and detiantly
before the irrepressible Sheeny and SELF
installed despot, Mr.. Jay Gould.
A committee will call on you Monday
night with funds collected for your ben
eft. Every telegrapher in the state
will be asked to contribute something
to aid you in the good work. Be pa
tient and brave; be careful and jul
dicious, but do not be bull dozed. Gov
ernors' proclamations aud state militia
are but cards Mr.. Gould plays in his
game OF bluff. May God grant you II
speedy and decided victory is.our heart
felt wish.

AT MARSHALL.
MARSHALL, March Especial. i
Henry Stewart. Ii. Vanwert, Bob Han
son and e. A. Josey were arrested to-
day at the instance of the Texas " Pa

which they readily gave. A mass meet
ing of the citizens is called to convene
at Israelson hall tonight to discuss tho
strike. The call is by the strikers.

system, leaves for Austin tonight. Elk
Representative Wilson also leaves TOR
u
petition, addressed to the legislature,
protesting against the passage of the
Shannon railroad bill. The city is re-
markably quiet.
AT LoNGvIEw,
LoNavIEw, March 12.-lSpecial. l.
The governors proclamation sent here
by telegraph to civil authorities, does
not affect the strike, as Agent Clements
says trains can be moved here all right
whenever the embargo is broken at
Marshall and elsewhere. Merchants
are about out of certain lines of sup.
plies, and should the strike hold on
much longer the community Will be in
need. All spring ana summer goods
are being delayed.
THE TRAMPs DON'T MATERIALIHE.
One good feature OF the strike is that
no tramps are TO be. seen. This is OK
planned in this way: After the tramp
congress here, just before the strike, so
many tramps. had congregated that
they over-taxed public hospitality and
were necessitated to bic themselves
been locked up al other stations unable
to beat their way in box cars, or take
excursion rides on the trucks. 1t
might be stated in this connection that
the appellation TRAMP does not prop
erly fiG that fraternity as well as the
title "bum," as no tramps now pedes-
trianize 10 they formerly did.
