Sr. LOUIS, March l6.--Up to noon to-
day nothing had been received hero
from striking points on tho Missouri
Pacific indicating definitely whether
tho men will accept Vice President
Hayes circular as solution of the
trouble and return to work. Dispatches
from few points, dated last night, show
that some men as individuals view the
circular favorably, but the manag ny
committees of the various points hold
of and will give 10 directions until in
structions come from Ssdala. Al one
or two points in Texas, trains have been
made up and moved, and at Hannibal,
Missouri, three trains, it is said, hayo
been sent out, but so far no general ac-
ton has been taken, and everybody Is
waiting advlces from headquarters Vt
Sedslia.
NOT BINDING ENOUGH.
The Missouri Pacific officials here
state that the strikers at SedaiR, Par
sons, Denison and Atchison refuse 10
return To work unless a written guarAn-
tee Is given not to discharge any OF the
strikers within year from date and
place other mon in their places, when
all returned TO work. No action has
yet been taken by the railroad officials.
AN AGREEMENT THAT APPEARED VAGUE,
Things looked rather gloomy along
the line Of 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 ut its
vagueness on some points aud declined
to go to work. The following dispatch
may be regarded as evidence of tao gen.
sral temper o. the men:
Sedslla, Mo-, March 10, lSS5.--To H.. NJ
HoXie, st. Louis;
Tho mon will positively not return TO
work 1ntil their delegates 90 TO st.
Louis and have contract properly
signed by Messrs. Hayes, Hoxie and
Hewitt.
Signed A. NJ. HAGER,
Superintendent.
To this the following WAS sent, which
clearly defines tho position of tho rail-
road company IL 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.

gineers referred to In another dispatch,
IL Il not apprehended that any serious
tronhle viii grow out of their
visit. They will probably have
a conference tomorrow with Messls g.

whatever grievances they may have
will be aIoicably and satisfactorily ar
ranged.
