PowderIy ON the strike.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March lS.-Mr.
Powderly when seen by an Associated
Press reporter this evening expressed
his willingness to give the public any in
formation in his possession, so far as the
interests of his mission permitted. He
would, he said, probably be able to
speak more definitely later in the even.
ing regarding the proceedings of to-day.
Replying to question, MIR. Powderly
said:
81 had a desire to come upon the
ground and learn the true inwardness OF
the strike and ascertain exactly the stu
alton, as / could not do it at distance
of over thousand miles. At the same
time | received a request from the local
Order OF knights of Labor to meet them
in conference and endeavor to
secure a settlement of the matter
at issue between tho railroad officials
and themselves. We have spent day
in consultation, but / cannot yet speak
as to the result of our deliberations.
"Will you state whether you have
opened communication with the Missouri
Pacific officials?"
81 have not, but am free to say that
l intend to seek a conference tomorrow
with Mr.. Hoxie, and expect to leave to-
morrow night for 81. Louis if a meeting
can be arranged"

New YORK, March lS,--Injunctions
restraining the Board of Aldermen from
passing the cable railway franchise over
the Mayors veto we're granted to-day
in the Supreme Court and Common
Pleas Court. The papers declare that
the rapid transit commissioners appoint
ed by the Mayor had no authority to
give away the right to any company 70
control the surface of the streets, so
that the cable company had no legal
existence and that its certificate OF IN
corporation is invalid; that its routes
include streets already occupied by
railroads and also traffic roads to Central
Park which the law prohibits from
being used for railroads. The resolu-
tions of the Board were passed without
the public being given an opportunity to
te heard, and the valuable franchise,
worth al least Sl,000,000, was given
away. II is asked that the resolutions
be declared void and Of no effect. VIM.
Remsen made an affidavit asserting that
the cable railway franc hise is worth
upwards OF one million dollars
ia addition to the 2i per cent. Of the net
earnings to be paid to the city. The
affidavit of George W. Birdsall, engineer
OF the CrotoH aqueduct and engineer OF
the Department Of Public Works, was
also presented. He asserts that it will
be impossible to prepare the streets for
the cable system without interfering
with the water pipes and sewers. and
that in order to rearrange these pipes
aud sewers and mains in accord
ance with the cable system. it will cost
the city from two TO five million dollars.
A double cable system will require two
branches four feet wide and four and a
half feet deep in each street. An affda-
Wit corroborating these facts was also
made by Robert l.. Walters. The In
functions are made returnable next Mon

New YeRK, March iS.-A Boston

which she says: 81 am very glad you
have spoken to me about this matter.
The newspaper statements with regard

times with accompanying COM

brief prominence of my position TO en-

lovely, honest and of good report. Such

society women to be, and against such
immodesty have made that silent pro-
test which it is every woman's right and
duty to make, by having my own dress

is concerned, 1 should feel quite willing
to have any woman to whom this style
of dress is becoming and comfortable,

which shows the neck and arms, but
do not approve of any dress which

line need never to be passed and the
fashionable woman's low-necked evening
evening dress need never be immodest. Ii
it is so, it is because she prefers it to be

J.eb,., Arrest.


IN ote.--Alderman Jsehns, OF New
York, has been arrested for accepting
bribe, an account Of which appears on
the inside page of to-day's HERALD.
Following are further details Of the af-
fair
NKw York, March lS--The court
room was crowded when the Alderman
appeared and gave bail. The hearing
was fixed for Monday afternoon. The
arrest created sensation, but this feel
ing gave way TO one Of astonish-
ment when il became known later
on that Jaehns' confidence had
been played upon by Inspector
Byrnes, and that he had furnished that
willy officer Of the law complete details
OF the corruption in the Broadway Rail
way franchise matter, not only so far as
he himself was concerned, but also as
to other members Of the Board of Al
dermen who sold themselves.
Detective Byrnes, after relating the
manner in which he obtained the conf.
denoe Of Jaehns, gives the following story
OF the final interview preceding his
arrest; "Jaehns came to my Office on
Wednesday, and in the course of an in.
terview. lasting for hours, he told me
all about his share in the Broadway
railroad steal. | had two Of my men
posted where they could hear everything
that was said, without being seen.
.Jaehns said he got $50, 600 for his vote
on the Broadway franchise. He told me
how he got it and how much he had got
for the other railroad franchises
how the same were paid, and
much more. He named other Al.
dermen who had been bribed
and volunteered the information that
three OF the men who had invested in
real estate and business in which the
money might show on inquiry, had since
the Senate investigation began had
certain lawyer to go over their books
and fix them 80 that it would appear all
right when their turn should come. He
said who the lawyer was, but / am not
going to tell you now. | shall not
tell you either just what he said
and whom he implicated; that will ap.
near in proper se>son. Jaehns said In
cidentally during the interview that il
things got much hotter he was going to
skip town. presume he thought | was
fhis good friend. I thought enough Of
him, anyhow, to have him looked after
closely that night. Up to 10 o'clock
this morning two detectives we're on his
track ali the time. At this hour made
nv report TO the District Attorney and
raca;ved a warrant for his arrest. While
l. was in Mr.. Martins l saw Jaehns
liog through the City Hall Park fol-
by two detectives. l sent Reilly
hi the warrant and they arrested

The earlier symptoms of this disease are
a sense of weariness upon little exertion, a
disposition to remain passive and idle, a pc.
culiar sensitiveness TO the effects of cold
and a shortness of breath upon moving
quickly or ascending hill or stairs, slight
hacking cough, with or without expectora-
ton, flying pains throughout the chest or
back, or under the shoulder blades. The
symptoms are worse towards or during the
night, slight fever In the afternoon. cold
feet and hands, and in many cases blue liv.
idity of the lips and roots Of the finger nails.
The more advanced symptoms are wasting
of desh, diarrhea, chills and fever, night
sweats, expectorations of yellow pus from
the ulcers or cavities In the lungs, with OF
