ssonri, Kansas & Texas railroad shops struck,
Saturday morning at 1880 O'Clock. Every

Mallory freight, were displaced, Saturday
morning, by colored laborers. At the Mis-

companies have number of colored men
selected with view of replacing the knights
as fast as the latter drop out Such
changes will be permanent. Rnmors Of an

knights, especially those employed in the
great compress establishments.

deliberately shot A. r. Russell on the street
near noon, Friday. Howard discharged
both barrels of shotgun at Russell. The
stray bullets hit a spectator named Over

ard left Immediately on horseback. He
was pursued half an hour later by the sher-
itf
Russell, Overholt and kirkpatrick are all
fatally wounded, and will probably die A.
r. Russell is city marshal of Kingston.
Howard was an eccentric young man. As
an editor he bitterly assailed the saloon
keepers in his paper, charging that Marshal
Russell and other officers were gamblers. This
caused Russell and a couple of saloonkeepers
to visit Howard's Office couple of days ago
and chastise him. Smarting under their re-
dress Howard threatened to attack Russell
on sight Several occasions on meeting,
both men came near drawing their weapons
and firing. Friday, whom Russell was re-
turning from the postofice, Howard sud-

barrels at Russell's back
Russell and George Oyerholt are both at

MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE.
THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL AS IT
WAS PASSED.

Seventy-seven Millions To Be Appropri-
ated in Aid of Public sohools-Politics
i'm the Houso-The Tariff Bill-Disap-
pointed at Matthews Appointment.
WASHINGTON CIKY, March s.-Bsfore the
Blair educational bill was passed several
amendments were made to it, including the
District Of Columbus in the bill, and requir-
ing states receiving money under the bill to
file in the interior department samples of
the schoolbooks used in the public schools
This last amendment, as originally offered
made the filing of such samples necessary to
entitle the states to any part Of the fund
provided. by the bill A sharp debate arose,
in which Senator Plumb of Kansas, who Of
fered the amendment, exhibited a school
history of the United States written by
teachers of high schools of Virginia AMI
Kentucky, which, he said, deliberately falsi-
fed history, charactsrizing the Union armies
as almost wholly composed of European
immigrants, and never spoke but with disre-
spect Of the commanders of the Union sol
diers, as we'll as with contempt of the soldiers
themselves. Senator Edmunds of Vermont
created laugh by saying that the book had
fallen into innocuous desuetude.
The section setting forth that the design
Of the bill was not to establish an iudepend-
ent school system in the states, but only to
extend aid to the state governments, was re-
stored by unanimous vote
9he bill as amended provides for the ap-
preparation of S77, 900, 600 in aid of common
schools in the states, territories, the District
of Columbia, and Alaska in eight years. as
follows: In the first year, s. ,DOO, 600; second
year, s10,o0e,0o0; third year, $4,000, coo;
fourth year, $13,0O0,0OO; fifth year,
s11, 100000, sixth year, $9Ooo,
900; seventh year, 5000, 900,
eighth year, s5,0O0,OO0 1t also appro-
pirates g., 900, coo to aid in the erection Of
school-houses. The money is given to the
several states and territories ''in that pro-
portion which the whole number Of persons
in each who, being of the age Of 10 years
and over and can not write, bears to the whole
number OF such persons in the United
States" according to the census of 1880,
until the census figure of 1890 shall be OBJ
taiped, and then according to the latter
figures s In states having separate schools
for white and colored children the money
shall be paid out in support of such white
and colored children between 10 and 21
years old in such proportion as they bear to
each other by the census
The vote on the passage Of the bill was as

PIG Iron Men at washincton,

WASHINGTON CITY, March S.-A large
number of pig7iron and ircn-ore dealers and
miners were before the house committee on
ways and means, Saturday, and several
of them were heard in opposition to the
Morrison tariff bill William A. Ingham
of Philadelphia, representing the Eastern
Pig-Iron association, spoke first. He stated
that between che proposed tariff and the
abolition of duties on pig-iron he had no
choice; in fact he would prefer free trade to
the proposed rate of duty.
During the cross-examination, and while
Ingham was explaining the process of max
ing bessemer steel, in which iron was en-
pIoyed, Chairman Morrison observed: Il in
fer that the only thing you men get out of
your business is the air you use in the man
ufacture of these goods. Don't you want a
duty on airg'
well, replied Mr.. Ingham, II do, if it
comes from England" at which there was
much laughter.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March S.-For sew

men in the employ of the Minneapolis Street
Railway company have been contemplating
strike for shorter hours. The men have
been quietly and gradually uniting with the
Knights of Labor until now they are all in.
The railway company at first opposed the
union and discharged several of the men.
Superintendent Goodrich stated that the
company is willing to grant any reas

under consideration to increase the wages
and let the men work by the hour. The

the streets and avenues of Washington
city, received SO year, or, If they
wished, $50 for all the work they could
perform from March lst to December
Doth The hours of work were invariably
from sunrise to sunset. Wages at al

AT Baltimore men were glad to be hired

asked more than Sc. At Fredericksburg
the price of labor was about S. to 81. In
Virginia white men, employed by the
year, were given SIC currency; slaves.
when hired, were clothed, aud their
masters paid 81 per month. A pound Of
Virginia money was, in Federal money,

land over was, therefore, $65 year,

this small sam the workman must, with
his wife's help, maintain the family. But
