'Will you set all the strikers at work in their

This dispatch was forwarded to Receiver Shell

ern end of the road. It caught him at Big
Springs, whence the following was sent last
night:
MARTIN Irons. st. Louis
1--WE cannot set all the strikers to work, as we
have employed large numbers of men in their
places who came to our assistance in time of
need and to discharge them and give place to
those who carelessly put us in condition of
great need, would be the height of ingratitude
and injustice. The discharge of Hall is the
only grievance made known to the receivers and
the only information possessed by them
as TO what the claims are. The facts
in his case had been detailed by the newspapers
since the strike commenced. One OF his friends
to the court for redress 1t is the proper arbi-
traitor in such eases, and will do exact and even
justice to all 1t is the mode of arbitration pro-
vided by law and the practice of appeal thereto
is not without precedent. L. A. SHELDON

A Sensation Exploded.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The attention Of Sec
rotary Whitney was called to cablegram pub
lished to-day saying that the London Daily
News has demanded of the British government
an explanation of the statement printed in New
York that British naval constructors and Off
GERS are interested financially in the construc-
ton of the new vessels to be built for the Ameri
san navy, and that the News bases its demand
upon the statement in New York paper that
these vessels will be designed by syndicate of
which Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, ex chic f con-
structor of the British navy, Mr. White, present
chief constructor, and the firm of VIM. Arm
strong and CO., are the principal members. The
Secretary said there was truth in this state
ment and added that he knew of no foundation
for any such story, except the fact that he has,
from time to time, collected information regard
Ing model vessels, and this has included certain
plans obtained from Sir VIM. Armstrong. Mr..
White" continued he, was the naval construct
u of that firm before becoming the director of
wal architecture of the British admiralty,
iich position he now holds" Sir Nathaniel
) srnaby has not been and is in no way con-
ected with the designs or construction of the
.ssses, which are in the hands of board Of our
naval officers.

Fort WORTH, Tex, April Fort Worth is
in the hands of mob. The citizens possee,
summoned by the sheriff to assemble this morn
ing at the Missouri Pacific yards, met, some 800
strong, according to orders. About 400 strikers,
armed, desperate, and ready for blood

rested, and the engine sent back to the round
house, and all attempts to move trains were
abandoned. The citizens lacked organization.
They had no leader, while every man in the
ranks of the strikers was a leader. Mayor Smith
addressed the mob, but the strikers cried, Rats!
No more Peter Smith for mayor, again" The
sheriff is summoning citizens to go armed to-
morrow to the Missouri Pacific yards. The

hungry and bloodthirsty The most conservative
citizens anticipate great trouble in restoring law

Continuation of the Examination of Senator
Harris by the Telephone Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Senator Harris's ex-
animation was resumed to-day by the telephone
committee. The witness stated that he had
never referred to Mr.. Garland in connection
with the governments suit. From the day he
received DIR. Rogers's suggestion touching gov
eminent suit, without having examined the ques-
ton at all, he did not believe that, with Mr. Gar
land at the head of the Department of Justice,
Re would have taken any action in the matter
The witness was sure he would not if he had
been in Mr.. Garlands place, and he had the
same opinion Of Garland as OF himself. He had
no sympathy with the idea of presenting any
such question to the Attorney general, and
had had no conversation with him upon the
subject.
Mr. Ranney inquired if the witness had done
anything to secure Mr.. Garand's appointment
as Attorney general. The witness replied that
: he had written letter with that object, COM
mending Mr.. Garland to the President as an
able and very eminent lawyer. He had also
recommended the appointment of Gen. Joseph
T. johnson to the place he now held.

A White House Explanation of the Presidents
Trip to Magnolia.

Washington Special.
President Cleveland is evidently very much
exercised at the unfavorable comments that
have been made about his going on duck
shooting trip when Secretary Manning was lying
SO very low and was hardly expected to live. A
semi-oficial explanation of the trip has been
given out, presumably from the White House,
which is intended to place the Presidents action
In different light. The Evening Star to night
publishes the following:
1.-THE truth, as obtained from an authoritative
source, is as follows There was no grand, GER
uemonious dinner to celebrate the Presidents
visit Realizing the necessities for out-of-doo
exercise and rest, the President arranged to
spend last Saturday in duck shooting at Mag
noiia with two Albany friends, Judge Peckham
and General Olcott. who are members of the
ducking club on Gunpowder river He was
urged to do this by all about him.
"When he proposed to stay home none insisted
more strongly that he should take the day Off
Than Mr. Manning's family, and no one could
see any force in his proposal to abandon the ex-
eursion because of Mr. Manning's illness, which
must itself be attributed to the very thing the
President had been urged to avoid in his own
sase-a lack of exercise and recreation. The
only dinner on the occasion the ordinary
timer of the club which would have been eaten
Shether he was there not"
