Pratt, of the Carlisle Indian school, and q party
OF Indian boys and girls of the school, are in the
city. They called upon the President to-day,
who gave them cordial reception. They were
also received by Miss Cleveland, in one of the
White House parlors They also called upon
Ad1utant General Drum, and visited the In
terror department, and other executive depart
ments and points Of interest. There is an
Apache Indian boy in the party who has been
but two years at the school, and yet, Capt. Pratt
says, he is competent to go out in the world and
take care of himself. This is regarded as quite
remarkable, considering the fact that the
Apaches retain more of their savage nature
than any OF the other tribes.

ST. LOUIS, April The st. Louis
coal dealers, rely ing upon the promise of
strikers that the efforts by teamsters to
raise the coal blockade at Fast St. Louis
would not be interfered with, sent a num-
Der of men with their teams to transfer
fuel from that side of the river. Several
strikers, however, made an attack on the
men to prevent them from loading wagons,
the teamsters resisting, and a general
fight ensued. Knives were drawn, but
the appearance of several United States
deputy marshals caused the strikers to
fee, without having received or inflicted
any very severe injury. The teamsters re-
turned to St. Louis without coal, fearing
further violence.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
Senator Dolph's Speech in Its
Defense.
Great Damage From Freshets

Prince Alexander Agitates the
Russian Government.
Senator Dolph on woman's SUI
frage.

IfaRo.
WASHINGTON, April LIN the course
of his speech in the senate on the bill to
admit Washington Territory into the
Union, Mr.. Dolph speaking of woman's
suffrage said:
Mr.. President, there is another matter
which | consider pertinent to this discus
sion and of too much importance to be
left entirely %unnoticed on this occasion.
1t is something new in our political history.
II is rull of hope for the women Of this
country and OF the world. and full of
promises for the future of Republican in
situations. | refer to the fact that in
Washington Territory the right of suf-
frage has been extended to women of the
proper age. | do not believe in the pro-
position so often asserted that suffrage is
a political privilege, only a natural right.
1t is regulated by the constitution and
laws of the state, l grant, but it needs no
argument, it appears to me, to show thst
the constitution and laws adopted and
enacted by a fragment Of the whole body
of the people, but binding alike on all, is
a usurpation of the powers of the govern
ment.
The government is but organized society,
whatever its form; it has its origin in the
necessity Of mankind and is indispensable
for the maintenance of civilized society.
1t is essential to every government that it
should represent the supreme power OF
the state and be capable of subjccting the
will of its individual citizens to its order.
Such government can only derive its
just powers from the consent of the gov
eminent and can be established only under
the fundamental law which is self-imposed.
Every citizen of suitable age and discre.
ton, who is to be subject to such govern
ment, has in my judgment the natural
right to participate in its formation. The
lamented Lincoln i%mmortalized the ex-
preston that ours is a government 'of
the people, by the people and for the
people and yet it is far from that.
There can be no government by the
people where one-half of them are al
lowed no voice in its organization and
control. | regard the struggle going on in
this country and elsewhere for the en-
reimbursement of women as but a c%ontinu-
alton of the great struggle for human lib
erty which as from the earliest dawn of
authentic history convulsed nations, rent
kingdoms and drenched battleields with
human blood. | look upon the victories
which have been achieved in the cause of
woman Acknowledgement in Wash
ington territory aud elsewhere as
the GROWING victories of all which have
been won in the long continued. and still
continuing, contest between liberty and
as destined to exert greater influence
upon the human race than any achieved
upon the battlefield in ancient or modern
times. Should this bill pass we shall wit
ness the spectacle of a state government
founded in accordance with principles of
equality, and have a state at last with a
truly republican form of government.

Big Freshets in the South.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 1.-The eff
tects of the freshets are worse than tele-
graphed yesterday. Gadsen reports the
Coosa river at its highest mark and still
rising, with alarming reports from above.
All railroad bridges on the branch road
between Alfalfa and Gadsen are swept
away and a number of washouts on the
Alabama & Great Southern are reported
on both sides of Alfalfa.
The mill and lumber interests a. Cad
sen have suffered immense damage.
The Tennessee river is reported out of
its banks at several points. From Tus-
cola and Warrior adyices are serious,
though it is believed the worst has passed.
Many houses on each side of the river
has been abandoned and water is running
through doors and windows. Some fam
lies occupy the upper stories of the
dwellings apd skiffs and canal boats are
used for transportation.
The village of Northport, across the
river, is almost submerged now. The
water is a foot deep in the Tuscaloosa
cotton factory and work had to be
abandoned Just before dark the wreck
of a small house passed down the river
and several persons were observed cling
ing to the wreck. Rescuing parties in
skitfs started out in pursuit from the
Tuscaloosa shore and were rapidly borne
outside by the rapid current. Many per
sons living on the lowlands below Tusca-
loosa had to be rescued from their homes
in skiffs. No calculation can yet be made
of the amount Of damage done the farm
ing interests, railroads and other highways.

A Hitch in the Negotiation

AlAlQh III NlO IOBOAAhbiOhbs
ST.. Louis, April 1.-The following has
Just been issued:
To The PaJtic:-As showing the sin
cerity of the railroad managers in their
treatment of the Knights of Labor, we
respectfully state that pursuant to the
order of our general executive board, we
this day sent a committee 10 the man
ayers or the several railroads offering to
return men to work. and in no instance
would they be received or treated with;
each official in turn either refusing them
hearing or evading them with specious
subterfuges for direct answers, or refus-
ing them employment. Hoxie has agreed
to receive a committee Of employees to ad-
Just any grievances which may exist. He
refuses personally and through his subor-
dinates to recognize any of US as employees
and refuses to receive any but such as he
calls employees. In short. after himself
and Gould have conveyed the impression
to the world that they are willing to set
tie, they refuse to settle.
Now, we appeal to a candid and suffer
lug public, on whom is falling all the
weight of this great conflict. if we have
not been deceived enough2 How much is
long-suffering labor to bear2 This great
strike never would have been had Hoxie
condescended months ago to hear u
complaints. We do not claim to be more
than human, it should not be expected of
US to be more than human. In this coun-
try position makes no man king or slave,
and imperious refusal on the part Of citi-
zens to confer with other citizens with
whom they may have business connec-
tions, when such refusal begets great bust
ness and social revolution. is not only a
mistake but a crime against the public.
Gould is invoking the law against little
criminals who are made desperate by his
policy of duplicity and oppression, and
yet the terrorized public does not invoke
the law against the arch criminal OF the
laud. If we cannot be allowed to return
to work, the strike must 90 on.

Charles B. Waite was arrested this morn
ing by Inspector Byrnes at the Grand
Central depot, when the train on which
the ex alderman had come from Essex. on
Lake Champlaln, arrived. Waite was
not in the least disconnected, and seemed
to understand the purport of the mission
even before the warrant was produced and
he was informed he was under arrest.

No Nonsense or Chlld,s PLAY BIZ.

ST LOUIS, April About noon to-day
several representative members Of the
merchants exchange, headed by D. R.
Francis, mayor of the city, called upon
Governor Oglesby Of Illinois, in East ST..
Louis. Speeches were made, setting
forth the situation and urging upon him
the necessity of calling u the militia at
once to restore order and effect resumI-
ton of the freight traffic. The governor
replied. while he knew the authorities of
East st. Louis were unable to cope with
the situation, the county of ST. Clair, was
large and populous and the powers of the
sheriff very great. These had not been
exhausted and until they were, be could
not call on the military for aid. If how
ever, he should be actually obliged to
bring soldiers here they would come for
active service and r~esolute work. There
would be no nonsense or child's play
about il.

three upon the Missouri Pacific and three
npon the Iron Mountain road, started out
OF the city. No police protection was re-
quested by the officers of either road and
no hindrance of any kind was offered by
strikers at any point along the roads lead
ing out of the city. At East St Louis
strikers induced an engineer to abandon
his engine on the Vandalia; but a freight
train on the Indianapolis & St. Louis
road went out, the engineer refusing to
leave his engine.

a committee to call upon Master Mechanic
Bartlett to ascertain what men he would
