THE STRIKE.
Proba utilities That the End Is ApprOach-
ing

ST. LOUIS, March 1S.-The general i'm
preston prevails here this morning that
the Gould strike is nearing an end. The
RESUMPTION in this city ofsuburban passen-
ger traffic without interference from the
strikers is looked upon as Il hopeful sign
and the partial iblishment of freight
traffic at other points is regarded in the
same light. The kn 2hts of Labor are
jubi'ant over the determination OF Pow
derly, General Master Workman, to confer
with the dissatisfied Gould Knights and
they express confidence that his Efforts
toward d settlement will result successfully
and i'll their favor. This, together with the
announcement that Receiver Sheldon, OF
the Texas & Pacific has agreed to submit
the question Of the Justice of the discharge
of Hall at Marshall, Texas, to arbitration,
warrants the belief that the strike is near
ing an end. TIL early suburban trains de.
parted on time this morning and the conf
pany expects no more opposition to the
running of these trains.
TALK IN KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY, March 1S.-The current
talk among the strikers is to the effect that
the strike will end in two days.
AT NEW ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, March 1S.-Gen. Sheldon
said this afternoon that he considered the
strike in fair way to it's end. The Receiv-
ers, he said will not arbitrate, but ii Hall
submits his case to the United Sta esCOurt
and the Judge shoul decide that Hall was
discharged without sufficient cause, then
the Receivers will reinstate him. Ii after
this the strikers will not return to work, +,
then the company will proceed uLder the
rejection OF the Court to carry on its
business Ii the strikers will submit to the
Judges decision if it should be adverse to
them, then, OF course, the strike will! end.
All the trains, both passenger aud freight,
on this division OF the Texas Pacific are

irish SpeculatiOns

DUBLIN, March 1S.-The United ireland,
edited by William O'Brien and partly
owned by Parnell, said that Gladstone's s
land and home rule schemes are SO closely
knitted together and dependant on each
other, that neither can stand alone. In
proof of this the United Ireland points
to the fact that the landlords of
Ireland, whom Gladstone proposes
to buy out by the very terms OF the ex-
appropriation bill. are made unable to
avail themselves OF it's enactments until
the Irish Legislature is established
at Dublin to administer the bill. Mr..
Chamberlain told friend OF Gladstone's
that the Irish proposals would involve so
complete a separation that it was ilnpos'
sible for an" English Journal to give any
guarantee to the Landlords, and that un-
less method was found to greatly
reduce the amount OF proposed pay
ment he (Chamberlain,) would not
remain in the Cabinet. Chamberlain con-
ferred long and earnestly with Mr..
Trevalyan in the House of Lords this
afternoon and afterward conferred prl-
vately with Lord Randolph Churchill for
nearly an hour. The circumstance is much
COMMENT cd upon by the quindunes III the
lobby. Meanwhile the tension in the
Cabinet continues, neither Gladstone nor
Chamberlain appear to be disposed to
yield.

who it is believed had plotted to take him
a prisoner and hold him for high ransom,
made an attack in force upon the place.
The servants were brave and soon rallied
around their young master in defense. A
desp rate and prolonged battle ensued,
which resulted in the defeat of the robbers,
but only after many of them were disabled
by wounds. Four OF the bligands were
taken prisoners.

Public Sentiment Demands Their Sup.
preston In Butte.

The Clow-Murphy glove-fght fasco was q
leading topic of discussion yesterday in
Butte. Outside the circle OF men who fight
or pretend to fght-for a living. not q
single apologist for the conduct Of the fel-
lows who deliberately swindled seven or
eight hundred people out of as many dollars
could be found. The better class of sport
ing men were loudest in denunciation OF the
sshippodromers" and their methods. Said
one admirer OF square sport:
''They manage these things better in
Mexico. The citizens OF that Republic love
bull-fighting. and the bloodier the contest
the better it suits the public. A few years
ago, however, the buil-fighters began to
'hippodrome.' They did this..by placing in
ring bulls that were not vicious, and had
not the indications nor the strength to make
gallant fight. The brutal public endured
this for awhile, and then they applied a
remedy by passing q law which inf1icts q
fine of 500 or more for participation in q
bull-fight. but the law is never enforced
when the t0rO is a brave one. That is
what the authorities Of Butte
should do with the alleged pu-
gilists. Let them fight if they
want to fight, but arrest them for obtain
ing money under false pretenses every time
they victirnize the public by failing to do
what they advertise they will do
A1pther prominent sporting man said:
Not the least disgusting part Of the bust
ness is the denial by Glow and Murphy and
their respective friends that q 'hippodrome'
was intended when the match was made,
or that the failure of the men to fight was
due to anything but an unfortunate com
binat ton of circumstances. Ii such is the
csse-if they are really anxious to test
each others mettle-why do they not fight
it out in a private room or on
the turf Or they might fight in . hall for
sweet charity's sake. They could do this
by appointing committee Of three reputa-
BILE citizens to secure hail. Il referee and a
set OF gloves, and donate to the Sisters
Hospital or some other deserving charity
the gate receipts. after all expenses are
paid. In fact, If Glow and Murphy desire
to remove the stigma which their conduct
of Wednesday night evoked, they could not
adopt better method than this"
And such is the opinion OF ninety-nine
per cent. OF Butte's population.
