All Employees OF East 81. Louis Rail-
ways Forced 10 Quit.

ST. LOUIS, April THE quiet state of
affairs which has existed in East st. Louis
for the past week was suddenly broken by
riot. A large crowd of strikers number
ing over thousand men, formed about
noon at the railway depot, and headed by
the leaders of the strikers in the city,
marched to the Ohio & Mississippi railroad
depot, where a number OF platform men
were at work. No guard of police or deputy
sheriffS had been stationed there, and the
employees were easily forced from their
position. Thence the mob advanced upon
the Vandalia yards. Here a few deputies
were on duty, who ordered the men back
They refused and made rush. bearing
the officers down, and swarmed through the
gates into the yards and forced all the en-
plOyes at work out of the yards. From
this place they marched to the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy yards, where a similar
scene was enacted and all the employees
forced out. The men then rushed on to the
Chicago & Alton yards. and upon arriving
there were met by strong force of deputy
marshals
ARMED WITH wINCHEsTERs.
They ordered the mob back and called
upon them TO disperse. This the crowd
refused to do, and upon attempting to rush
through the gates, the marshals brought
their rifles to their shoulders and threatened
10 fire If the crowd advanced. This cooled
their ardor somewhat, and they turned back
none the less determined, however, that
there should be no work done in that city
while the Knights of Labor are still on a
strike. The deputies remained on guard at
the Alton yards, fearing a second attack
upon that point, while the strikers proceeded
to the Cairo short line yard. Upon arriv-
ing there the mob found their way unob-
structed, and by the same means employed
at the other yards forced the men at work
TO leave their positions. The mob then dis
persed, having accomplished their object
All the yards are now deserted and no bust

Late this evening another but smaller
mob marched to the Chicago & Alton yards.
where they compelled several freight
handlers to abandon work and join them.

Offended the Chinese.

WASHINGTON. April THE Chinese
minister at Washington has made formal
complaint to the secretary of state in re-
gard to the treatment of his successor at
San Francisco ar the hands of the United
States customs officers. He bases his action
on information received from the Chinese
consul general at San Francisco. who, it is
understood. alleges that the new minister
and his suite were subjected 10 unusual and
unnecessary annOyances and diScourtesies
on their arrival at that port. The secretary
of state referred the matter to the acting
secretary of the treasury, who this after
noon telegraphed to the collector of Gus
toms at San Francisco for a statement of
the conduct of his officers in the matter.
Some surprise is expressed at the treasury
department that the landing of the minister
should have been attended by any delay or
embarrassment in view of the fact that the
collector at San Francisco had been spe-
cially instructed to extend to him the naval
cOurtesies due to the representatives of a
foreign government. such as allowing the
free entry Of his baggage and effects and
affording facilities for his uninterrupted
transit to Washington or wherever else he
desired TO 90.

PHILADELPHIA, April THE Record
tomorrow will print an interview with
Secretary Turner of the Knights of Labor,
who stopped here to-day on his way to
Scranton to confer with Mr.. Powderly. He
said:
We were willing TO make many sacri-
fees TO have the troubles in the Southwest
settled, but 1t appears from events that Jay
Gould and H. NJ. HOXie will not have IL that
way. When we arrived in St Louis we
found that the company would in
reality employ no Knights of Labor. What
was worse they were discharging members
of the order who had in no way participated
in the strike. For instance, the telegraph
operators were not called out, as they were
necessary for the safe running or passenger
trains, which have not been Interfered with.
Many of these have been discharged. the
Knights invariably going when removals
were made. In fact, instead of no diScrimi-
nations it was all determinations. As con-
sequence there was no chance for the men TO
make up their portion of the arbitration COM
mittee provided for in New York Strikers
who were Knights could not get employment
when they offered obedience TO the order TO
return TO work. Ii
WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY
to form our side OF the committee with men
who had taken the strikers places and who
had no grievances TO arbitrate. With this
had no conrse open TO il other than the recall
OF the order to resume work. The matter
now rests with District Assemblies Nos. l01,
90 and Il. see no chance of a settlement
in fact the situation is worse now than it ever
was Mr.. Gould undoubtedly is responsible
for the failure TO keep the agreement. The
Fort Worth affair is unfortunate, and the order
being opposed in every way to
such measures. should not be
held responsible for it. The people
were driven 10 desperation, and the deputy
sheriff who led the mob Is a well-known des-
perado. He has quite a history in that line.
The dispatches sent by Mr.. HoXie TO Jay
Gould every day telling of freight trains
moving freely are untrue. There is practi-
cally no freight traffic TO and from st. Louis
and along the line except n few empty cars
or trains filed with armed men. Mr.. Gould
talks of the weakness of the Knights of La
Dor. Well, he may think differently before
the end OF the present troubles. He who
laughs last laughs best.

Northwestern Rates Restored.

Special TO the Globe.
CHICAGO, April THE Illinois Central
was not present at to-day's meeting of the
old roads in the Northwestern Traffic assO-
citation.
1--WE half promised them last night,'' said
Mr.. Horace Tucker, general freight agent of
the Illinois Central road, ''that we would at
tend their meeting to-day, but General Man
ager jeffrey decided this morning that the
Illinois Central would not go in. The North
western Traffic association has been rotten
for long time L don't believe it's rates will
hold forty-eight hours after adjournment"
The roads all met at Carman's office at
1880 and there was thity-minutes' wait
for the Illinois Central. They then went
into session with Mr.. Bird of the St. Paul
in the chair. At IL o'clock dinner was or
dered in and that over the meeting went
on. As result of their conference the
following rates will go into effect rO-mor-

fdent that it will do so.

The Terrible Strait of Seaman i'm an
Open Boat.

HALIFAX, n. s., April IA dory, with
two men living and two men dead on board,
drifted ashore at Guion Island, Gabarus,
Cape Breton, Monday. They had been
eight days out from their vessel. which was
left on the western part of Grand bank.
The name of the living are Chisholm and
McCracken and the dead men were both
named Mcdonald. all of them of Cape
Breton. One of the dead bodies was con-
siderably mangled about the throat and
arms. which is said to have been done by
the others upon going mad. Chisholm is
strong and McCracken is in a very eX-
hausted condition. The name of the
schooner has not been learned.
The following further particulars of the
experience of the men in the dory of the
schooner Nova have been received on
Thursday evening: James Mcdonald. the
weakest and most thinly clad of the four.
began to sink and died after bidding
his companions an affectionate and fearful
farewell. The body of the dead
man had hardly grown cold when Angus
Mcdonald said he must have something TO
eat and drink or he would die also. Despite
the protestations of Chisholm and McEachen
he took knife and cut the right arm off
the dead man, sucking the blood and de-

Others, but they refused it, though
some hours later Chisholm tasted a
piece of the flesh, but was unable
to swallow it, Mcdonald having
sucked all the blood from the severed arm.
Angus McDouald said he was going TO cut
the throat of the dead man, but was for a
time restrained from doing so. During
Friday night. however, while the other two
were sleeping, he committed the act and.
finding no blood, cut a piece of
flesh from each thigh. drinking the
blood and eating portion of the flesh. On
the following day he became delirious and
before night he died. They got into heavy
drift ice. cakes of which they hauled into
the boat and eagerly licked with their
tongues to allay their thirst. On Saturday
evening they came in sight Of Gayon island.
some miles off the coast of Cape Breton.
but their exhaustion was so great they were
unable to reach it. They tried 10 sleep
through the night, but the cold and heavy
sea prevented their doing so. In the morn
ing they managed to get to land.
