with visitors to-day. The east room was
the only one open TO sight seers. The
president was kept very busy during the
day signing acts of congress and attending
TO other official matters. Members of the

ed two hours, all members being present.
The session was devoted to clearing up all
official business requiring action during
the present administration. At 2:30 the

press wagon drove up to the main entrance
and deposited a number of trunks, boxes

GALVESTON, Tex, March s.--The
Melos Marshall special says: The strik-
ing employees of the Texas Pacific shop
carried out the resolution adopted at the
meeting by stopping all passing freight
trains to-day at IL O'Clock. Trains are
now standing in the yard, several cars
loaded with perishable goods. The strik-
ers this afternoon notified the officers of
the road that within tw~enty-four hours all
the passenger trains would be stopped,
but the engine with the mail car would be
carried through. If the company refuses
to send a conductor the strikers will de-
tail one Of their number to take the mails
to the Pacific coast. Good order prevails
and no attempts have been made to
destroy property. The city authorities are
watching every movement of the strikers,
but a yet found no cause to interfere.
A committee from the Marshall shops to-
day visited Long View, the junction OF
the Texas Pacific, to induce the round
house employees to join the strike. The
Long View strikers agreed to allow no
coaches except the mail to be taken ont
after midnight tonight. This plan. if
carried out, will seriously interfere with
the travelling public. A special from
Palestine, on the international and Great
Northern, says the strikers who paraded
the streets to-day are determined to hold
out against the cut.
