The situation az Little Rock.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March l2.-At
1880 o'clock freight train drawn by
a switch engine left the Iron Noun
tain depot, and reached Benton,
twenty five miles south, at noon. The
passenger engine which was 10 take the
81. Louis train south was captured a.
the Toun6-hOlse by the masked
strikers and sent after the freight
train. The freight train was over
taSen at Benton and disabled, when
the strikers started back toward Little
Rock with the passenger engine. At
Vaudeville, tea miles south of the
city, they waited on a side track for
the passenger train 10 90 by.
The tain came along, and when the
last car had passed they threw the
switch opeu end dashed out in the di.
rection Of L tile Rock. United States
Marshal Fletcher and several deputies
were on the passenger train, accom-
panied by Superintendent Wheedon,
The track was cleared for the switch
engine, the officers got aboard and
pursued the strikers, both reaching
and dashing past the depot under fuil
Roadway. While crossing the bridge
the pursuing engine caught and made
fast to tae strikers engine, and the
officers began climbing aboard, order
ing the strikers to stop.
They refused, and on reaching the

strikers jumped off and The officers be-
gan firing. About fifty shots were

iron and STEEL DUTIES.
REPRESENTATIVES, OF AMALGA,
MATED ASSOCIATION
Protesting against Any Reduction of
the Tariff-Its Alleged Effect
on Labor.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-The
House Committee on Ways and
Means gave a hearing to-day 10 the
representatives of the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron and Steel Work
eTs.
Mr.. Weihe, of Pittsburg, the presi-
dent of the association, Eaid that the
agitation Of the reduction in the iIoa
and steel schedule had created great
alarm among the workers in the ma.
terials throughout the country. II
the iron aud ste which was import
ed during the past year had been
made in the country there would not
have been so many idle hands around
the mills, and q reduction in the rate
Cf duty would onlv increase the mum.
Der of idle hands. For this reason
the Amaleamsted Association, which
represented between 1000 and 5000
men, desired 10 enter its protest
against the proposed legislation.
VIM. Martin Of Pittsburg read pro-
test prepared by a committee OF the
association, in which the association
says that it is unallerably opposed to
any revision of the tariff except in the
direction of higher duties. The labor
organizations of this country had not
yet taken part in politics, but II the
tendency of Congress was toward re-
vision OF the tariff in the direction of
reduction these organizations would
b9 forced to take political action.
W. F. Stewart, who had thirty years
experience as an iron worker, gave it
as bis opinion that a general r. duction
Of wages invariably followed a general
reduction of tariff duties. Mr.. Stew
art, referring to remark made By
Mr.. Breckenridge of Arkansas relative
to the condition Of China under the
policy of shutting itself Off from
foreign intercourse, said that when
the American workmen came down to
the China policy and carried every
thing on their heads the wages would
come down to the rate Of Chinese
wages. The American workmen had
genius, the Cinnamon had not.
Mr.. Breckenridge Of Kentucky in
quired in regard to the general condi-
ton oflabor in this country-whtther
1t was in good relations with the en-
ployer.
Mr.. Stewart replied the relations
were not satisfactory, and that was
the cause of the organization Of so
many labor associations. The work. |
ingmen considered that the laws of |
the United States were not made in |
the interest of labor, but Of capital
They were going to give Congress a
chance to help them. II this were
not done, movement would be set |
on foot which would enable them to
help themselves through the ballot
box.
Mr.. Breckenridge inquired whether
there were not causes OF complaint |
among the workmen other than had
grown out of the reduction of the
tariff.
MIR. Stewart replied, the reduction
OF the tariff was the sole originator of
the whole movement of labor ast ocia-
tons.

LOSS OF THE BONHAM.
ARRIVAL OF THE WOUNDED AT
VICKSBURG.
Statement OF Engineer Girard of the
Inflated steamer-Cause of
the Accident.

ViCKsBURG, Miss, March l2.-Tke
steamer t. A. Sargent arrived here
from the wreck Of the Ike Bonham
la evening with the wounded. None
of the bodies of the drowned men
have been recovered. Engineer Chas.
Girsrd Of the Ike Bonbam MAKES the
following statement: "Pilot McEl,oy
was in command and Mira. VIM. Sar-
gent was in charge of the office. We
were going sf.er Cotton-seed and took
no freight along. had just tried the
water in the boiler and found scant
two gauges. / bad lett the wheel and
gone back in the cabin to dinner, leav.
ing s. T. Andrews steering. In an in
slant the shock came; l was knocked
down and hot bricks from the furnace
almost covered me. / saw Andrews
and number Of colored men in the
river. They wers calling for hep.
The explosion tore away the office,
pilot-house, chimneys, the forward
boiler deck aud all the for ward part of
the cabin, throwing them into the
river. On deck the result was
very disastrous. Six deck hands
were blown overboa d, only one OF
whom was recovered. Capt. McElroy
and number Of colored passengers
and deckhands were more or less seri-
ously injured, and all on board were
scalded except Mrs. Sargent. Imme-
diately after the explosion she took
command of the boat, went below,
helped to launch the vawl and com
manded those who were able to rescue
those in the river. BY this time the
debris around the boiler had caught
fire, and she seized the draw bucket,
drew water and quenched the flames,
after which she took a shawl and
threw the red-hot bricks overheard.
Mrs. Sargent, by her heroism, savsd |
the wreck from burning, and with it
my life and that OF the other wounded |
on board. S1e was not excited in the |
lesss and never lost her presence of |
mind for a minute. Capt. Sargent is |
now in San Antonio, where |
he has gone for the good of |
his health. Daring his absence |
his wife has had the management
Of his boats, which work she has
Away done successfully. About nine
years ago Mrs. Sargent, with her hus-
band and three children, were on
board the steamboat Phil Morgan,
which exploded her boiler at Reality
Landing. Black Bayou. While the
wreck Of the Bonham was burning
Today her clothing caught fire several
lines, bat she would tear away the
burning fragments. There was no in
Iurance on the boat.
