SURPRISED AT THEIR WEAKNESS.
Gould Thinks He Has Made Discovery,
but Events VIII Determine.


NEW YORK, April 6-In an interview
Sunday Mr.. Gould said: The strike on our
road is practically over Its backbone is
broken. 1t it will he thing of the past
very soon have been astonishad at much
of the revelation that has come through the
recent disturbances, but nothing has Teen so
surprising as the proof that have had of
the weakness OF the Knights of Labor They
have no such organization as | had sup
posed Their demonstrations and assertions
had led me to believe them not only formii-
able but practically unconquerable Re
Gently this story has proved this idea all
false They are not stong; they are weak
They are not the sort of an organization
that wins victories They are not what
they led the public to believe them to be {;
they are already overcome.
$50 great was my apprehension as to the
strength OF the Knights OF Labor, and so
great was my fear of what might come
from fight made by them, that for over a
year we have been carrying hundreds OF
men on the Missouri Pacific railroads pay
rolls for whom we really had no need; we
were paying them their wages only because
we were apprehensive of an extreme emery
ency to follow strike by the knight. Now
we find that the money 81 ent in this way
was practically wasted We had no such
things to fear as anticipated
"Up TO this time, went on the capitalist.
we have taken back Just those
who have not been active in the strike
trouble at St Louis We can get all the
men we want without having to call
upon single one of the strikers Labor in
fact is over-abundant in all the strike
districts. The Missouri Pacific company
has applications on file from thousands of
men anxious to enter its service There is
no lack any where of material for trainmen
We have decided TO give the men in East
st. Louis until O'Clock on Monday after
noon to return to work, such number of
them, at least, as we require If they re-
fuse this generous offer they will get no
further chance Our minds are made up to
bring this whole business to an end right
away. The public patience is worn out; we
can not afford to be thought guilty OF
trifling In SO grave a situation.

WHEAT CULTURE IN INDIA


Cau Not BE Compared with the United
States-But Little Exported.
WASHINGTON CITY, April tin his com
munication 10 the senate the secretary Of
state says in regard to the conditions Of
Wheat culture in India, that the growth in
exports of wheat from India has been won
derful and gave occasion fer great appre-
tension The quantity exported is but a
small portion of the amount produced In
1877, ;..0, 000 bushels were harvested
of which only about 10,0O0,0oO bushels
were exported. The resources of
India can not begin to be COM
pared with those of the United States, or
even South America, and the movement to
develope what there is Of them is painfully
costly, and oftentimes Of doubtful expedi-
ency. India produces enough for her own
needs, and even in the most severe famine
has never been compelled to look about for
grain. AT present the further danger of In
dian competition seems distant ana little to
ba feared, as it has in all probability at
tanned its limit The chief competition for
the present is not from either Russia or In
dia, but from the countries which, like the
wheat fields of the United States, are sparsely
settled and possessed of great nat
ural fertility such as Austria and the nations
of South America. Unfortunately informa-
ton respecting their capacity is very
meager, but steps have been taken by the
department to obtain returns and the
opinion of resident consuls and competent
authorities The outlook this year in Europe
is not promising. Russia has suffered by
storms and floods, the crop in Great Britain
is bad in places owing to variable weather.
From Franc reports are good Germany
complains of unsettled weather, but a fair
crop is expected
