The City Council yesterday appro-
priated 81 900 to pay special police TO
protect the property OF the company
and to assist in the movement OF trains,
and Diyision-Superintendent iiager has
requested the sheriff Of this county 10
give men willing TO work protection.
The strikers were out last night doing
double duty--guarding property ana
seeing that no freight was moved. They
are very we'll behaved.
SEDALIA, Mo-, March l0.--There
are now over seventy engines in the
roundhouse and the yards here which
have been killed by the strikers and
over ten miles of loaded freight-cars on
the side-tracks. No passenger trains
| have yet been stopped, but no passen-
gers have arrived here from west oil
Kansas City or south Of Parsons, HANS,
since Sunday.
Men in great numbers are about the
railroad offices defiant and positive IN
their position. Adjutant-General Jane
son is here in consultation with citizens
and strikers. Not car Of freight has
moved to-day, and there is no lkell-
hood Of any being moved. Business IL
almost at a stand-still and the outlook
is gloomy. No riotous demonstration,
however, has been made. The strikers
though determined, have manifested no
disposition to destroy property.
ST.. LOUIS, March l0.-The en-
pIoyes of the Missouri Pacific railroad
in st. Louis, are still at work, and say
they have no present intention OF Strlk-
ing. The men discuss the situation
very closely, and it is believed the de-
parture Of greater part of the militia
of the city for Sedalia has had the effect
of encouraging the strikers. The Mis-
souri, Pacific is refusing freight and is
discharging or suspending many en-
ployes not connected with the strike.
Some of the Wabash men are on a
strike here. and others say they will
strike. 1t is said that the Missouri Pa
cific company has hired number OF
| pinkerton's detectives and sent them to
Sedaia, armed with Winchester rifles,
to protect its property until the troops
arrive.
ST.. LOUIS. March l0.-A special
from Sedala says All is still quiet
here among the strikers, but affairs are
critical. The Strikere are now IN SeS-
sion drafting proclamation that they
will keep the peace at all hazards
They are embittered because thirty
| pinkertOn detectives have arrived who
are hired by the railroad company.
| Acknowledgement jameson had con-
ference with the strikers and Informed
them that they must not prevent trains
from moving. The pay-car arrived this
morning, but the strikers refused to re-
ccivc their wages, because they said
that would sever their connection with
the road. and besides the car was not
due for five days. The rumor that
militia are coming a2grayates the situa'
| ton.
A special from jefferson City says
Governor Marmaduke may go to Sc
dalia this afternoon. The st. LOU,
militia will be halted probably there
until the Governor receives a report
from Adlutant-Gcneral Jameson at Sc
dalia.
A special from Moberly says the
strikers are firm and are encouraged 10y
news that the men on the Iowa road
have struck. No disturbance so far.
NEW ORLEANS, March l0.-Th'
strike Of the freight-handlers OH thu
New Orleans and Texas Pacific has ap
parenty for the present put an end t.
the movement of freight. 1t is re
ported that no freight-cars left thu
city yesterday on that road.
A special to the PicoyuRe from
Shreveport says In commercial cir
cles the effects of the strike are felt t
considerable extent Over eight car
loads Of freight due last week are dc
tanned IN route. The commercial AM
agricultural interests, i'll need Of PROV
siOns, are suffering i'll consequence. Tn
delay in the delivery of freight may re
suit in suits for damages against I'll
railroad company. The freight dep6
is deserted, and all the employees hay
been discharged except one until tn
trouble is over. The sympathy OF tn
people is with the strikers"
MoBERLY, Mo-, March l0.-No'
withstanding the Missouri Car an
Foundry Company, who have lease
the Wabash railroad shops here an
will hereafter conduct them. .have al
nounced that they are ready to receiy
applications for labor, irrespective
past or existing troubles. not one I
the men who struck some days az
and have since been idle have apple
for work, although there is !
: doubt that they could obtain fro
! the Car company a. much or even bctt'
wages than they demanded from Il
, railroad company. They say that the
. will not resume work until the form'
wages are restored to every wOrkma
on the entire Wabash system, and clai
that they have adyiceS that by tO-nigl
or tomorrow every workman OF Il
= Wabash road will be on Il strike.
