FORT WORTH, Tex, March 2.-There is
universal surprise in this city at the great
railroad strike which began here last even
ing. There was no intimatiOn that it was
coming. at $3.50 the whistle at the round-
house blew, and at once every machInist,
car Iepairer, section hand, baggage handler,
ana In TACT every man who belongs to AS
semDly No. lO1, Knights of Labor, stopped
work. The business of the Texas Pacific
and Missouri Pacific was almost completely
suspended here. Three hundred men had
stopped work in an instant. The orders
came from Sedalia. The causes are said to
be numerous, but the chief one is that ST. so
per day is demanded as days wages for
anskllled laborers, who now receive 81. Is
per day. Other reasons are the refusal to
make eight hours a days work, and the dis
charge of men at Marshall. No freight
trains went out last night and all the
freight engines are in the round house No
railroad work of any description is being
done, except the movement of passenger
trains and no one is left 10 handle the bag
gage but the baggage master.
LATER ADVICES
regarding the strike on the Texas Pacific
railroad give an interview with Gov. Brown,
one OF the receivers of the road, which in
substance is as follows:
The workmen in the shops at Marshall,
Big Springs and Fort Worth walked out yes
terday, but no employe of the company has
ever laid any grievance before the receivers
or their agents. If any man had felt ag-
grieved and had expressed it we would imme-
diately have looked into the grievance and
would have righted any wrong we found.
We are determined to protect our employees
againsl ady wrongs from ourselves or our
agents or from outside Intermediates. We
claim, however, the right to adiuSt the differ-
ences, If any there be. between ourselves
and our employees without the mediation of
people who are not in our employ. We pay
our employees promptly and we claim they
shall prefer their grievances direct to us and
not involve ofIicious interference of persons
who do not appear on our rolls and who are
unknown TO us.
From other sources it is stated that the
strike is likely to become general on all the
Gould lines i'll Texas, as well as the Texas
Pacific, and that the trouble may extend to
other roads in the state

CHICAGO, March 2.-When George ii.
Beall. druggist, at $50 West Harrison
street. was about to close last night, a
rough-looking man with slOuch hat en-
tered the store and asked for cigar. Mr..
Beall placed handful of weeds on the
counter, and upon looking up he saw the
muZzle OF a 32-calibre revolver staring him
in the face. The druggist thought the
man was drunk, and, knocking the weapon
aside, he grappled with the fellow.
At this moment two men en-
tered the place, and one turned of the
gas. The first man held Beall up against
the cigar-stand, and, with the muZZle of the
muZZle of the pistol at his head, commanded
him to keep quiet. The other two then
ransacked the store, and gathered up about
So, 500 worth Of property. Mr.. Bealrs gold
watch was also taken. The robbers left as
soon as they got all they could carry, and,
although the Twelfth street police were inn
mediately notified. they succeeded in elud-
ing arrest. The detectives say for monu-
mental cheek and audacity the trio of rob
bers cannot be eXcelled. It was the most
neatly-planned affair, they say, that has
taken place in Chicago for some time.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-In the senate
Mr.. Hoar presented a petition from gov

widows pension bill. Mr.. Logan hoped
this and the arrears of pensions bill would
soon be passed. at l o'clock the education
bill came up, and Mr.. Call addressed the
senate upon it in opposition to the Allison
amendment. He characterized it as re-
Election on the states and an abandonment
of one of the principles of our government.
Mr.. Salisbury opposed the bill. If we had
a surplus, let us build a navy or return the
money to the people. Messrs. Riddleber-

amendment. Mr.. Ingalls, spoke with bit
terness of the assistant attorney general of
the department of the interior, Mr.. Mont
gOmery, and read extracts from Mr.. Mont
gOmery's book entitled Drops from the
Poisoned Fountain; Facts That are Stronger
Than Fiction, one of which is as follows:

established throughout the length and breadth

The NIcCormick Trouble over.

CHICAGO, March 2.-The Mccormick
works opened as usual this morning. There
were large crowds of idle men about the
works, but the presence of the police pre-
vented any outbreak on their part, even
though they had contemplated one. Five
hundred and forty men reported for work
an increase of 200 over yesterday-and the
managers of the works expect that the num-
Der will be increased to 500 tomorrow. The
officers think the strike is practically ended.
Tonight meeting of strikers and SYM
pathizers was held at the West Twelfth
street Turner hall. Fifteen hundred people
were present, including many of McCor-
mick's old men. The audience vigorously
applauded the orators of the occasion, all
of whom spoke in decidedly incendiary
strain. Among those who made the most
prominent addresses of the evening were
the anarchists. Parsons and SchWab

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The president
to-day sent message to the senate on the
Chinese question. He says the condition of
the Chinese i'm the Western states and terri

the power of the government should be eX-

towards China in the treatment of these
men and the intleXible sternness of the law

that their expulsion would be contrary to
republican principles. These principles, he
said, were based upon the rights of man.
The princes claimed, by virtue of their
birth, more rights than other men enjoyed.
and they therefore condemned themselves
by placing themselves outside of demo-
cratic society. NJ. Clemenceau was enthu-
siastically applauded. The majority of the
groups in the chamber of deputies are now
in favor of the expulsion of the princes.

Remarkably High rides Coming.

OTTAWA, March 2.-In an interview
Prof. Virgins said that in August last he
predicted that the winter of 1856 would be
unusually cold and stormy on account of
the planet Saturn being i'm periheliOn. This
planet he SAID had forced the gulf stream
out of its course and nearer to the American
shore, which accounted for the lack of snow
in the Maritime provinces this winter. He
also predicted months ago heavy storm on
the meridian of London on March 8, which
would reach America on March Z, accom-
panied by high tides. He says, ''it will be
lively" in the Maritime provinces next
Sunday. and he is curious to know how
high Saturn will raise the tide at Quebec,
Halifax and st. John. He added that in
March violent northwest winds across North
America continental ways preceded a
dangerous storm in the Atlantic.
