ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 21.-Governors
Marmaduke of Missouri, and Martin of
Kansas, held their third conference with
Vice-President Hoxie this afternoon, at
which the proposition submitted yesterday
by the governors was discussed, and for
nal reply on the part of the railroad of
ficers made. The governors state that the
present strike could not have been based
by the employees of the company upon the
violation by the company of last year s
agreement, because no such violation has
occurred, but they urged that business in
the States of Missouri and Kansas was
Frustrated, and that speedy restoration
of traffic was very important. They sub
mitted an agreement embodying, in sub
stance, the following: That the company
restore to its striking employees in
Missouri and Kansas, the wages
paid them in September, 1854, in
Guiding one and half price for extra
time worked to restore all said striking
employees without prejudice on account of
the strike. and that thereafter said rates
would not be charged, except after 30
days notice given in the usual way HoXie
in his reply says all of the conditions of
the agreement are acceptable, but that
the company cannot consent to take back
the men who have engaged in or have adj
viSed destruction of property.

ALDERMAN JAEHNE'S CONFESSION
And How it was Obtained by Inspector
BNrnes-Other Arrests to be Made.

NEW YORK, March l9.-Inspector Byrnes
said last evening: "Within the past two
weeks Alderman Jaehne has confessed to
me on four different occasions that he was
bribed to vote for the Broadway road, and
also for other railroad schemes. He con-
fessed this i'll presence of witnesses. How
| induced him to do this matters not. In
confessing that he had been bribed Jaehne
thought he had the best of it, and that he
was not getting himself into any trouble
He must think differently now and by
this time appreciates the trap | led him
into. He Will be convicted beyond a
doubt, as the evidence against him is per-
feet and conclusive in every respect. He
qua not confess to me through love, but
through fear"
Lawyer NeWcombe said the story that
Jaehne has made a confession that he and
another alderman had taken a brlbe was
an outrageous falsehood Inspector Byrnes
would have to take the responsibility for
circulating the falsehood Surprise is eX-
pressed by officials of the court of general
sessions that Jaehne has been arrested so
soon. 1t was not expected that he would
nave been taken into custody until the
warrants for the arrest of the others We're
ready for service. 1t is believed he was
10 have had at least five companions in
misfortune, but there seems to be little
doubt that these additiC nal arrests will be
made. 1t is not believed all the men in
danger of arrest and arragnment are
either aldermen or eX-aldermen. The
warrants extend to alleged bribers, rs
well as those who are alleged to have been

safety and there made an unconditional
surrender Mexican troops followed them
across the line into Maus's camp, demand
ing them as prisoners and claiming the
fight occurred on Mexican soil, and the
victory was theirs. Lieut. Maus refused
to give the prisoners up, which greatly in
censed the MeXicans who threatened to
take the prisoners by force. Gen. Crook
was hourly expected to arrive in camp,
but at last accounts had not come. Two
dispatches from Lieut. Maus We're re-
ceived at Mud Springs appealing for as
sstance. The situation is critical in the
extreme and the massacre of Lieut. Maus

Edison Forestalled.

CINCINNATI, March 22-Edson's inven-
ton of telegraphing to and from NOV
ing train had been anticipated by w. l.,
Silvey, Cincinnati telegrapher, who Sc
cured patent for the same thing July II,
1888. The apparatus of his patent is iden-
tical with the Edison apparatus, with one
exception only. Edison used telephone
receiver and the prior invention is called
a resonator Silvey is perfecting new
ton to his induction telegraph. He eX-
presses himself as highly pleased with
Edisons success, and shows no jealousy,
He said he had worked out his invention
on farm in Indiana, rigging up wires in
his fathers orchard and telegraphing
from one wire to another 40 feet apart,
five feet more than Edison has brldged
over Silyey thinks his apparatus supe-
rior to that of Edison, in that his produces
sounds that are audible in room.

VIII the. democratic Majority of Forty
three he Increased?
WAsHINGrON, March l0.-Some of the
shrewdest politicians here are figuring up
the chances of carrying the next House of
Representatives. The present Democratic
majority in the House is forty three,
which apparently leaves not an inconsid
cradle margin for possible losses. But in
just two States if the Republicans Should
be able to recover the districts which nat
urally belong to them, fully one-half of
this majority would be wiped out. These
two States are Michigan, which has now
seven Democrats in the House, and Iowa.
which has four. These eleven members
were secured by the Democrats through
no other cause than resentment of Repub-
lican voters, mostly foreign born, at the
prohibitory liquor legislation enacted by
the Republican party. 1t is asserted, by
those in position to know, that
enough other districts in the Northwest
have of late been carried by Democrats
on what is called the Personal Liberty
Idea to make up the entire Democratic
majority in the present House. Another
contingency which may he of momentous
import i'll the determining elections for
the next House is the attitude OF that
powerful organization, the Knights of
Labor From present indications the or
ganizatiOn will make their own fight in
their respective districts, and no man, be he
Democrat or Republican, can confidently
count upon their support if suspected of
not being in sympathy with them So
thoroughly is this appreciated by mem
bers of the House of Representatives that
every one of them, when considering any
subject connected with the labor question:
approaches it AZ carefully and as gingerly
AS II he were treading on red hot Goals.

THE CARROLLTON MASSACRE.
The Causes Which Led to the Butchery OF
Eighteen Negroes.

NFw ORLEANS, March ia despatch
from Carrolton where ten negroes were
killed outright and eight MORALLY injur-
ed by awhile mob, says, that the feeling
over the affair is excited to the utmost
and bloody reprisals by the colored people
upon the whites is dreaded in that section
rs the negroes there outnumber the whites
two to one. The number of white men
who rode into town to murder the pris-
oners is estimated at sixty to seventy. The
object of the butchery appears to have
been revenge growing out of the recent
murderous attack on Mr.. James NJ. Lid
dell, Jr., enc of the most respected citi-
zens of Carrolton county About three
or four weeks ago Mr.. Liddell intertered
In quarrel between two negroes, who
We're llghtlng over some work done for
him. As Mr. Liddell was walking away
he heard several of a crowd of cOlored
men who had been attracted by the row,
curslng him and muttering threats of
vengeance. He turned back, and, going
up to them, asked as to the cause for
their abuse. Instantly several of the ne
EroeS drew revOlverS and in the alterca-
ton which followed many shots were
fired, Mr.. Liddell being severely wound
ed
The negroes who participated in this
attempt on Mr.. Lddell belong to IA gang
which for long time have terrorized the
white citizens in and about Carrollton
Since the attempt on Mr.. LiddellS life
they have been more openly defiant and
lawlesS than ever before. a few days
ago these murderOus negroes caused the
arrest of Mr.. Liddell. He was placed on
trial yesterday morning before Mayor
Elrin. 1t was shortly after the case began
that the attack was made by the white
men, who, well mounted and armed with
Winchester rifles, fired into the building
where twenty of the negroes who made
the attack on Mr.. Liddell were waiting to
testify. CarrollIOn, the scene of the trag
edy, is the capital of Carroll county, Mis-

LEGALLY TESTING A STRIKE.
"The Missouri Pacific Brings an Injunction
Against the strikers.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 2l.-The Missouri
Pacific filed yesterday in the United States
Circuit Court for the district of Kansas, Il
bill in equity against 800 of the strikers,
charging them, and other late employees,
with having formed IA conspiracy to aban-
don the company's service and assuming
control of its property and resisting the
performance of service for the company
thus preventing the company from carry
ing on its business as a common carrier {;
that the defendants are acting under or
ders of a secret organization known as the
Knights of Labor, formed for the purpose
among others of debating the relations
of members to their employees. The court
issued an in junction and orders to place
the company in possession of its property
and restrain the strikers from interference
with company business. Federal power
is thus directly invoked and the case is re-
garded as a test one and an important
move against the strikers.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY,

The French Senate Passes the Expulsion Bill
in the Shape Approved by the Deputies.
PARIS, June 22-In the debate on the expul:
sion bill in the Senate, to-day, Premier De Frey
cnet said that his government would not toler-
ate another government in France, and would
take the full responsibility for the expulsion of
the princes. He refuted the charge that the
government was yielding to the irreconcilables.
He declared that order was being maintained
throughout France, even at Decazeville, where a
recurrence of the recent disorders had been pre-
vented That was not the case in Belgium or in
Great Britain. In conclusion, he deprecated the
confscation of the property of the princes. in
sisted that the common law would not apply to
the princes, and urged the necessity of repub-
lican union as one of supreme interest to the
republic.
Finally, secret ballot was taken. and the bill,
as it came from the Chamber of Deputies, was
adopted by vote of 141 to 107. The announce
ment of the result was received with great
applause by the members of the Left.
