derly's return from New York he has
been confined to his bed, unable to see
visitors of any kind. The strain upon
his physical and mental resources while
he was endeayoring to bring about a
satisfactory settlement OF the strike in
the West, on the top of months of severe
labor, was more thar he could stand.
His physician says that what he now
needs more than anyteing else, and
must have, is absolute rest, for a num-
Der of days at least. The physician also
states: IL have forbidden him to re-
ceive visitors, or TO to be annoyed with
business or anything likely to distract
his mind. | don't believe that there is
any danger if he will follow my instruc-
TONS"
John 4. Barrett, editor of the Scran-
ton Truth, who was allowed to see Pow
derby yesterday. says: 81 believe Pow
derly's condition to be very critical. ard
the country should know that he Is in no
condition to know what is going on in
the West, and should not be held re-
sponsible for what Irons and his associ-
ates may do.
New YORK, April 2-Mr. Gould was
seen by World reporter yesterday. He
said of the situation: 81 don't see that
can say anything. The whole matter
has been referred to Mr.. HoxIe, in whom
we have full confidence. He is on the
ground and knowns the situation thor
oughly, and 10 informed OF all that takes
place in New York. The strike war is
nearly over and was virtually at an end
before any of the New York conferences
were held. The business of the roads
has been resumed, trains are running,
and the yards at st. Louis are getting
cleared of accumulated freight as rapid
ly as possible"
ST. LOUIS, April 2.-The transfer men
were present at the stables this morning,
but refused to go to work. They told
the superintendent, as they told him the
first day, that they would not take out
their teams until the strike was settled.
They do not any longer, it is understood,
excuse their action by saying they are
afraid and have been inundated, but
openly declare that they are laying off
because they are in sympathy with the
strikers. In their present attitude the
teamsters of the transfer company seem
to hold the key to the situation. ! ards
over the river are without freight, and
there is none being received anywhere
except by the Wabash. As long as the
teamsters refuse to haul anything, the
railroads will have nothing, or, at a1y
rate, very little to move, and there will
be no necessity for the strikers to go
near the yards or do anything in the way
of persuading the engineers to leave
their engines. LAS long rs the transfer
teamsters stick to u.s." said a striker,
we're all right. If they go back on us,
we've gone"
The General Executive Board has not
arrived up to | p. m, and SO far as can
be learned no tidings have been received
of them. The local committe deny that
there are any differences between them
and the general committee; are certain
that the latter will approve their action.
FORT WORTH, April 2.-The Missouri
Pacific is still in the hands Of the strik-
ers. All persons not employees of the
road have been enjoined by the courts
from entering the company's yards. The
authorities of law are determined the
trains shall move tomorrow, and the
strikers are equally determined that
agrees to take its discharged employees
back. But for the aid the strikers are
receiving from the Farmers Alliances
in the State and contributions from out
side Knights, the strikers would have
gone to work long ago. The strikers
have unlimited resources to draw from,
and, as far rs they are concerned. the
present situatian might continue for
months.
