St. Paul daily globe., 1886-04-04

Monday. The posse will probably be kept
under arms night and day. The people
are in terrible state of excitement and
appear dumbfounded. The breach between
the law and the strikers has been widened,
and the bittereSt expressions can be heard
on every side. There are hundreds of
Knights of Labor in the city who do not
appear to regret the occurrence of to-day.
1t has been learned that the strikers yester-
day purchased ten Winchester rifles IN this
city. The names OF two or three or the
men who carried rifles have been learned.
The mayor has issued a prOclama-
tion appointing seventy-fiye deputy police
men and ordering all the saloons to remain
closed until Wednesday next. A petition
has been sent to Gov. ireland for state
rangers and militia. Transportation for
troops has been applied for from Receiver
Sheldon. A high wind is blowing tonight,
and if riot occurs the whole town will be
an easy prey to flames. The streets are full
of armed men. Every precaution will be
taken to prevent trouble. 1t is thought that
if tonight is tided over there Will be no
further danger of mob violence, as troops
will be here by tomorrow night. News
was received here at midnight that Adjt.
Gen. King with two companies of state
rangers are on their way to Fort Worth on
special train.
EXCITEMENT AT GALVESTON.
GALVESTON, April S.-The bulletins
from Fort " orth this evening created much
excitement here. Business men generally
greatly deplore the present state of affairs.
and the news Of bloodShed was ominuously
received. The Knights of Labor and other
workingmen in the city have very little TO
say. They are making no demonstration.
On receipt of the news from Fort Worth
they gathered in groups and quietly dis
cusSed the situation. A meeting of the
Knights of Labor of Galveston has been
called for tomorrow night. There is a
good deal of comment about Gov. Ireland's
delay in taking action TO prevent blo0dshed.
His passiveness is severely criticised by
many OF his strongest supporters here.
AT THE TEXAS CAPITAL.
AUSTIN. Tex, April 3.-The news of the
conflict at Fort Worth creates great excite
ment here. The bulletin boards were sur
rounded all the evening. Gsv. Ireland bad
departed for his home at Seguln before the
news OF the conflict arrived. Adjt Gen.
King is not i'm the city. His whereabouts
are unknown. kilograms have been sent
to the governor asking that troops be or
dered out and the assistant adjutant gen.
eral tonight telegraphed the Grayson rifles
at Sherman to hold themselves in readiness
TO move at any time. 1t is thought Gov.
Ireland will return by the first train.
DEEP INTEREST AT TEXARKANA.
TEXARKANA. Ark, April 5.-Trains on
the Missouri Pacific railroad are running
regularly at this point, but the strike is
practically In the same position it was
three weeks ago, so far as relates to the
Knights of Labor. Only about four Knights
have thus far returned to work out of about
500 who struck. Great excitement prevails
here over the news from Ft. Worth. Mea-
ger particulars only have been received.
but the strikers are eagerly seeking the
latest reports. The Gate City guards con-
tlnue to patrol the railroad property. The
situation here, while not serious at present,
may easily become so. The presence of
militia makes the strikers more cautious in
their acts. but rather serves to increase
their bitterness towards the railroad man
agement.
