ARnId IoTe hY Rricnnds.

ROME, March ia sensation has been
produced in Sicily by a daring attempt by
brigands to capture the great grandson of
Admiral Nelson. The young gentleman is
the Hon. Victor Albert Nelson Hood. son
of the present and third Irish Baron Bridg-
port, whose father was the husband of Lady
Charlotte, daughter of Admiral Nelson.
His father is equerry to the queen and Duke
of Broute in Sicily. The family estate in
cludes the estate containing the Castillo iii
Maniace, i'm Sicily, which was given by the
king of Sicily TO the admiral as a testimonial
of gratitude for the victory at Trafalgar.
Victor was residing in the castle when the
brigands, who, it is believed, had plotted to
take him prisoner and hold him for a high
ransom, made an attack in force upon the
place. The servants were brave and soon
rallied around their young master and in
defense of his person and estate. A deS-
perate and prolonged open battle ensued.
which resulted in the defeat and dispersal
of the robbers, but only after many of them
were disabled by wounds from further
fighting. Four of the brigands were taken
prisoners and turned over to the custody OF
the authorities.

Goyernors 10 Iutercede,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 19.-Gov.
Marmaduke of Missouri and Gov. Martin of
Kansas have decided that public interest
renders it necessary for them to act as me-
diators in the present strike. They have
prepared a proposition which, after consid-
Grafton, has been accepted by the strikers.
and the two governors left tonight for St.
Louis TO lay it before the railroad Off
cialS. The men agree to return TO work
on the basis of settlement adopted at the
close of the strike a year ago. That is,
they will come back on the terms of agree
ment in force at the time they struck,
simply making the request that the ques-
ton of increasing wages of bridge and
trackmen be taken into account. The
matter of Halls reinstatement on the
Texas & Pacific is not mentioned in
the proposition. Mr.. POwderly did
not leave for st. Louis as he had intended,
but is in secret conference with executive
delegates this evening. and has not been in
teryiewed since his receipt of Mr.. HoXie's
reply to his request for meeting. The
general feeling here is one of strong hope
that the intercession Of the state executives
will secure a settlement between the Off
cials and men as it did year ago and an
early conclusion of the strike.

A SWEEPING DENIAL
BY Gen. Porter of Statements by Gen.
Dent.

DeLIs
NEW YORK, March 19.-Gen. Porter was
to-day shown the following from the Even
ing Telegram of March II:
Washington, March 19.-Gen. Dent, who is
Gen. Grants brother-in-law. while speaking
upon the FitZ-John Porter bill, said that he
was at the White house when Porter called
and asked for second court-martial. I
never heard a man so positive in his convic-
tions. He said he had carefully gone over
the brief and was satisfied that the findings
of the court were correct. He turned to
Gen. Porter and in q tone of surprise said:
"Gen. Porter, you should never want to have
this case reopened. You should never ask
for another trial. There is too much evil
dence against you. Why, / find evidence
enough TO have warranted your conviction
and execution. You got off remarkably easy.
Had been member of that court, consider
ing the testimony as it appears, l should
have been compelled to vote to order you
shot" l do not know what reasons led Gen.
Grant to change his mind. That has always
been mystery to me.
Gen. Porter at once stated that the above
was an error throughout and that he never
saw Gen. Grant at the White house; that he
never called there or saw Gen. Grant dur
ing his presidential terms; that Gen. Grant
never expressed such an opinion In his
hearing; that, on the contrary, he favored
the reopening of the case by President
Johnson and would have issued the order
for that purpose with the presidents ap-
proval If he had not received letter from
Gen. Pope putting q different version on
the matter; that on Thursday, Sept. 10,
1867, he told Gen. Porter to return to his
home in New York and on Tuesday next
he should have the order convening the
court at West Point. The cause of the
above change of view and of his subsequent
change in favor of Gen. Porter is given in
his letter of Nov. 23, 1883. now published.
He who can't understand that letter and
others on the same subject must be stupid
! indeed" said Gen. Porter.

COMBINING AGAINsr KNIGHTS.
Railroad Companies Uniting 10 OPP
pose the Labor Element.


CHICAGO, March 19.-The statement is
published here this morning that the atti-
tude lately assumed by the knights of
Labor has greatly altered the views of rail-
road officials on lines east of the, Missouri
river, and they have arrived at the conclu
sion that it is only question of time when
they will have to contend against the same
difficulties as are now preventing the Mis-
souri, Pacific system from carrying on its
business. They find that at present they
are not prepared to meet the combined
strength OF the Knights of Labor, or resist
their demands, and that in order to pro-
tect themselves they would have
to effect a combination of the various
roads. With this end in view
meeting of the superintendents of the
various roads within the territory of the
Central Traffic association (all roads east of
the Mississippi river and west of the west
ern termini of the trunk lines) was held
in Cincinnati last Monday, and the present
situation regarding the impending labor
troubles fully discussed. The opinion was
unanimously expressed that the present
situation is the most critical since railroads
came into existence in this country, and
that united and harmonious action between
the roads could prevent serious results. An
organization was effected, and stated meet
ings will be held regularly in order to be
able to meet any labor troubles that might
arise within the Central Traffic association
territory by united action.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Brig. Gen.
Howard was to-day nominated as a major
general in the army, vice Gen. Pope. retired.
In view OF the fact that Maj. Gen. SEQ
field has expressed >prefeTence for the
command Of the division of the Atlantic it
is now thought likely that Mai. Gen. Terry
will be assigned TO the division OF the Mis-
souri, and Maj. Gen. Howard to the COM
mand of the division of the Pacific. 1t is
not probable, however, that the question of
assignments will be settled until Gen.

upon by the senate. Coils. Rugen and Mer-
rill are said to have been selected for the
promotion as brigadier generals.

Those who looked impartially upon the posi-
tion now occupied by the senate, and COM
pare it with the senate Of other days must
now bow their heads in shame.
MIR. COlQuitt obtained the floor and the
senate adjourned till Monday next.
The house went into committee Of the
whole on the private calendar. Half a
dozen private bills were passed. A resolu-
tion was adopted setting apart April 10 for
the consideration of bills reported from the
committee on commerce authorizing the
construction Of bridges, the establishment
Of light houses and bills relating
to the life-saving service. The
house then took a recess until 7:30.
At the evening session the house passed
thirty pension bills. The last bill to be
considered was that granting a pension Of
81, 900 year to the widow or Gen. W. S.
Hancock. Bingham of Pennsylvania elo-
Quently supported the bill, and quoted as
precedents the cases of the widows of Ad-
miral Farragut and Gen. Thomas. Price
OF Wisconsin opposed the bill, and stated
that it must be considered in full house.

Bingham.
Price-And there are hundreds and thou
sands as good as he who helped save their
country, VINO are starving. Continuing, he
said that the practice OF granting large pen
sions 20 widows of men who had been re =
ceiving big salaries and who died poor was
destructive of American manhood. The in
huence was to make men live up to the last
dollar OF their salaries in extravaganza and
champagne. 1t shook every principle of JUS
tice, and createdsa privileged class.
Bingham regretted the necessity
or taking the bill before the
house in full session. He thought it would
be such graceful act, such generous act,
to pass the bill, he felt that the gentleman S

Since you will not meet with me as general
master workman f the Knights of Labor. I
must decline TO m ct with you in any other
capacity, and the respons b lity for the
future continuance of the strike must not
be charged TO the Knights of Labor,
since the executive officer of that order

cooperate with you in settling the strike. 1t
was my intention, had you consented TO meet
me. TO endeavor to effect such a settlement
as would prevent impositions being practiced
upon the employees of your company by sub
ordinate officials and put an end to strikes on
your lines for the future.
