sympathy with the movement. He briefly
told of the origin Of the league In Chicago,
which was organized by six men and
two women The league, he said, was
founded upon the principle that good people
had right to rule. Good people should be
rights but to be behind prison bars. He ex-
planned the citizens league movement by the
negative definition. 1t was no political
movement, and although prominent politi-
clans were interested in 1t, yet those of all
parties worked in harmony. 1t was no re-
ligiOus movement, belonged to no church. but
included them all. 1t was no prohibition
movement. IL was an organization of good
citizens, and all they asked was obedience to
law. A man who objected to that was not en-
titled to much respect. He went into the his
tory of the Chicago league, its work in pre-
venting crime among children. in picking
drunkardS out of the gutter and converting
them-not merely reforming them, and in
spreading the red ribbon movement. Mr.
Paxton explained that by actual investigation
OF the dockets of the police courts In Chi
cago, it was found that one-fourth of all the
arrests in that city were boys and girls.
THE GREAT BULwARX
OF the movement from the beginning was the
noble efforts of the press, which never hesita-
ted TO publish any item they could get con-
corning the citizens league. And here he
wanted TO say that out of the $4,000 children
were Sunday scholars. Mr.. Paxton detailed
the first steps taken in prosecuting saloon
keepers for selling liquor to minors, mention
ing the assis ance of the police, all of whom
were instructed TO help agents of the citizens
league whenever called upon, and of the JUS
tices who stood by the cause. Within two
weeks after the league was organized the sa-
loonkeepers organized a liberty league and
required each member 10 sign a pledge not to
sell liquor to minors or to drunkards. The next
step was prosecution for selling liquor to
drCnkards. The Same work could be done in
St. Paul. Since his arrival here he had heard
that the mayor and the police would do moth
ing. "Did you ever ask the mayor or police
to enforce the laws? Did you ever offer them
your help to enforce the laws? II you haven't,
what right have you 10 complain?
At the conclusion of Mr.. PaxtOn's re-
marks. as at frequent intervals throughout,
he was vociferously applauded.
DIR. Dana made very brief but enthusi-
astic speech in favor of the movement,
which he styled question of humanity and
of grit.
Bishop Ireland announced that immediate
steps would be taken to form Law and
order League, and in due time all would be
called on to aid in the work. Mr.. Paxton
called for a rising vote of those favoring
a league and everybody stood up.

LOGAN,s ARMY BILL
Defended by the Illinois Senator,
Who Repels an lnsinuatIon.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Mr. Logan's
army bill was laid before the senate, and a
letter from Gen. Sheridan approving it was
read. Mr.. Plumb opposed the bill. In
time of peace there was no necessity for an
increased army, and as far as putting down
local troubles was concerned, the use of
force by the general government was TO be
deprecated. The present proposition was
one calculated to develop more frills, fur
bellows, shoulder-straps and decorations.
Mr.. Dawes favored the bill, but thought
control by an army was not to be desired.
Mr.. Teller said there was no necessity for an
increase. Violence al the states should be
put down by the people in the states. Mr..
Logan defended the bill. Referring to the
remark of Senator Plumb that the senate
should not be better paid than the working
man, Mr.. Logan declared that he was a
friend of the workingmaR, and that it was
very queer that only the rich bankers
might declare themselves friends of
the poor people, while it was
highly improper for those who, as ne had.
became acquainted with their trials by
actual experience TO express sympathy. 1t
was an unwarranted assumption that his
bill was introduced with reference to I'M
pending labor troubles. Why this insinua-
ton that the army was TO be used against
the people? Mr.. Logan then indicated his
belief that the statement was made for the
purpose of injuring him personally. Re-
ferring TO the suggestion that the increase
of the army was wanted for show. ''for a
circus" Mr.. Logan repelled it. The peo-
pie. he said, did not want any show
about it. They had ''shOw" and ''circus''
enough in the senate [laughterl. and while
the senatorial circus was on he did not
know any more active performers than the
senators who were opposed to this bill.
Renewed laughter. In conclusion Mr..
Logan SAID republicanism was becoming a
power the world over, and the United
States should be prepared to say to the first
European power that attempts fOothold
in America. Lay on. Macduff. and damned
be he who first cries hold, enough" Ap-
plause in the galleries. After an eXecu-
tive session the senate adjourned.

Test of a Telephone.
to the Glob,


YOUNGSTOWN, o., March 29.-After three
years close application, DIR. Luther c. Rose,
residing at Palmyra, this county. has in
vented what is known as the "RoSe long dis
tance telephone transmitter." a thorough
test was made of the device to-day, using
No. wire over the United Lines Telegraph
company running TO Freeport, H., with re-
turn loop on other poles, making the distance
S7S miles. One transmitter was placed in
the Office of the Rose Electric co mpany
and the other in the laboratory, two
blocks away. The fainteSt whisper was
heard over the long line, and the ticking of a
watch was plainly audible TO persons AT the
other transmitter. IL is entirely unlike the
Blake transmtter in principle and action, and
DIR. Rose claims that with his device CONVEX
satiOn can be CARLY carried on by persons
1000 miles apart. The test was made in the
presence of prominent capitalists, who have
organized a company here to manufacture 1t.
Next Sunday it will be given a severe test
over wire running to New York, then to
Chicago and back here.

was expressed that the strike was not to be

self issue such an order. Referring TO Mr..
POwderly's order to the Knights of Labor
now on a strike in the Southwest, the
members of the committee say that the
grand master workman has exceeded his
authority. and that such an order cannot be
enforced until indorsed by their vote. This
will neeessiiate the transaction of large
amount of routine business. for the eXecu-
tive committee of each district assembly
must meet and vote upon the proposition.
The result of these votes must then be COM
municated to Mr.. Irons. who, if the major
ity are in favor of returning TO work. will
indOrse Mr.. Powderly's order of last night

diately, and upon arriving here, will preside
over meeting of his committee. which

Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 29.-The third Gay
of the street car strike produ ced no change
in the situation, fact deeply deplored by
the thousands who were compelled 10 walk
through the drenching rain. The strikers
held meeting in South Side hail early this
morning. 1t was decided to remain out until
all their demands are granted. The chair
man Of the committee representing the
strikers on the Union line TO Allegheny said
they were not fighting for twelve-hour
schedule alone The superintendent of the

demands of the men) to-day completed
schedule on the twelve-hour basis. The
victory was appropriately celebrated.

out and joined their admiring shouts to the
Shrill whistles of the driver on the car. 1t

to the Baltimore T. Ohio depot and back
again to Lawrenceville, a distance OF seven
miles. The cheers were lOudest near the
union depot, where an enthusiastic engineer
uDon a standing locomotive pulled the
whistle open and drowned every other sound
with its scTeech. Very few people on
the Tranversa line route failed 10 see
or hear of the first lines in the two cities 10
adopt the twelve-hour system. THIS
afternoon the Peoples Bus company
put on several wagons for passeu-
gers between PittSbmg and Ale

Manning Somewhat Better.

WASHINGTON, March 90. - Secretary
Manning's physicians did not make their
usual call this morning but made their in
quirieS and gave directions by telephone.
AT 1890 o'clock the doctors arrived together
and Immediately went up to the sick room.
Half an nour later they came down and re-
ported the secretary decidedly better.
HE had good night" said DIR. Lincoln.
land he is really much improved, though, of
course, not out of danger"
Mr.. Delehanty said that the reports of the
attendants this morning were very encOur-
aging indeed. All things considered, the
family are decidedly more hopeful than at
any previous time since the secretary was
taken i'll.
The improvement in Secretary Manning's
condition continues. He was so much bet
ter to-day that DIR. Lincoln visited him but
twice instead of five times as has been his
daily custom. The doctor said tonight that
there was probable change. 1T is not a
very marked change" he said, land the
secretary is still very weak, but he has I'M
proved" He does not pronounce him out of
danger, but says the fear of a second at
tack is leSsening every day. The secretary
was resting so comfortably when the doc
tor left him at z o'clock that he thought il
unnecessary to make his usual visit at 10
o'clock. The attorney general is very much
better tonight and will be out in day or
two. Secretary Lamar is also reported as
somewhat improved.

KANSAS CITY, March 29.-Several trains
were started from here to-day but the
strikers finally stopped operations by block
ing the track. AT Atchison to-day
the situation was very serious, trains being
ditched and switches tampered with.
The men were reckless and declared
that Powderly had sold them
out. Warrants are out for 100

intense uncertainty and doubt, and fears

in the several departments of the company,
you will give preference TO oCr late employees,

the company is always ready to arbitrate
any differences it may have with its own
employees. Mr.. Powderly seems to have
assumed from that telegram that L have
