Riotlng In st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, March PA freight train
of fifteen cars was made up this morning
and started over the Missouri Pacific
tracks in the direction Of Seventeenth
street; arriving at that point the crowd
called upon the engineer and fireman to
leave their posts, which they did. The
mob here soon became 80 dense that it was
deemed advisable to clear the yards and
the police were summoned. Soon a force
Of about $50, commanded by the chief Of
police and oil the captains arrived at the
scene. The crowd was then ordered to
dispense, and upon their refusing to do so,
the police made . charge upon them,
hoping to drive them away without using
their clubs; the latter alternative, how
ever. became necessary. During the
struggle which ensned. several Of the
strikers were badly beaten by the police,
some of whom were in turn badly bruised
from rocks thrown by the mob. After a
brief fight the crowd dispersed and was
driven from the yards. Another engine
was then procured which after being
coupled to the abandoned freight train,
drew il from the scene Of the riot under
guard Of about fifty police. who accom-
panied it as far as the city limits, no in
reference having been met with.
Just after the freight train had gotter
away carrying a large portion Of thu
police for.e, the mob, numbering abou
200 men. made a rush for the machine
shops Of the Missouri Pacific, to tax
possession Of them. The courage of tn
majority Of them failed, and only abou
forty proceeded halt way and soon aband
oned the idea aud dispersed.

After considerable discussion lIr. Pa

Mr.. Cable yield l have no further
use for the floor"
This OF couise prevented the resolu-
ton being read and gave Mr. Cable the
iioor to the disgust o; the Republicans,
for their game was blocked. Mr.. Ca
BILE had a resolution to offer, and the
Clerk was ordered to read it but was
raped to order. The President still
claimed that Mr.. Pavy had the floor
until his paper was read. Such redic-
ulous decision was greeted with hearty
laughter.
Mr.. 0'Neil-I rise to res pectfully
call the Chair attention to the fact
that he has twice suggested to the party
that he held the floor, but that the gen.
tleman hus said I have no further use
for the floor and that of course carries
with it his paper"
Mr.. Cable-"I rise to read the folio "
ing, Whereas
Chair-"The gentleman is not in or
der"
Mr. Cablc-"I want to ask, Mr.. Pres
ident, if this body has any rights that
the chair il bound to respect?''
Chair-'I have decided Mr.CabIe out
of order"
1t being useless to attempt further
proceeding, Mr.. Vancleaf moved that
the Senate adjourn until 4 o'clock, p.
m. Wednesday.
Chair-"If Senator Pavy has the
floor TIE motien is out Of order"
Several Senators we're up at once
now and Kennedy was almost para
lyzed. His persistency in claiming
that Pavy had the floor was getting
monotonnus.
Mr.. O'Neil-''I beg leave to ask the
chair why he recognized ma without
asking Mr.. Pavey's permission then?"
This was sqnelcher for Kennedy.
Mr.. Cable-'Does the chair refuse to
entertain my motion?''
CAair--"No."
Mr.. Cable-"Then call and demand
the clerk to call the roll upon the mo-
tion to adjonrn." Mr.. Kennedy raped
himself tired, but to no avail. The call
was finished and the Senate adjourned.
The clerk left under the guidance of
four men, as it was rnmored that the
Republicans would make desperate
effort to get the journal.
After they had all retired the Repub-
licans went on with their alleged busi-
ness, and Mr. Favey's resolution was
read. Itp-ovided the rules to govern
the Senate IL trying contested election
eases. This being finished, they ad-
journed until merning, Thus the SIT
uation remains practically the same =
The Republicans cannot do any lawful
business. for the jonrnal is the official
record of the Senate, and this is still in
possession of the only legal Senate and
will be retained by them.
