TEXAS PROCLAMATION.
Gov. Ireland Orders the Strikers TO
Obey the laws.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 25.-Gov. Ireland
to-day issued the following proclamation:
Whereas, IL has been made known 10 me
that disturbances, irregularities and viola
tions of law are OF frequent occurrence on
various lines of railroads in this state; that
trains carrying freight and passengers are III
terfered with by persons having no connec-
ton with said roads; that BRIDGES have been
burned, spikes have been Withdrawn ana
trains derailed TO the great detriment OF com
merce and travel and the placing
of life in great peril. II is
said that this condition of affairs has been
brought about by the organization known as
the knights of Labor, and that persons en-
gagged in these lawless deeds are members Of
that order. Whether this is true or not IL Is
hardly creditable that the order, or the best
elements i'm il, can countenance the violations
of law mentioned. Employees have the nm
questionable moral and legal right TO QUIT the
Service OF their employers whenever employ
ment is not remuneratVe and satisfactory.
provided such action does not violate their
contracts, but when they quit and sever their
relations il is the duty o. those quitting 10
get out of the way and allow any Others who
may wish TO take the service abandoned TO be
free TO do so.
INTIMIDATION AND INTEMPERANCE
is q gross violation of the rights of free men,
and cannot be tolerated in free government.
Now, therefore. ], John Ireland, governor OF
Texas, do hereby issue this, my proclamation,
warning all persons, whatsoever they may be,
engaged in any of the said unlawful acts,
that they are entailing on themselves disaster
and ruin, and that offended and outraged JUS
tice may sooner or later overtalle and punish
them unless they promptly cease tber law
lesSness. / do not undertake TO
say who these lawless persons are,
or who is right in the controversy.
but violations OF the law and disregard for
the rights of the people cannot be justified or
excused. i appeal TO the law-abidinE people
throughout the state 10 aid the civil officers in
restoring order and executing the laws and in
discountenancing in every way this abnormal
condition. l especially appeal to all civil Of
ficers, Judges, sheriffs, constables and city Of
ficials to make use OF all the means given
them by the law to restore order. with the as
surance that every power Of the state if law
fully invoked will be used to inforce the lUws

TIE YARDs DESERTED.
East 81. Louis Syvitchmen Quit Work
tOa EEan.

ST. LOUIS. March 25.-The expectation
which grew into a serious apprehension
about noon to-day that the switchmen in
the yards of all the railroads centering in
East st. Louis would go out this afternoon
crystallized into a solid fact at p. M,
when all the engines in the yards set
up shrill and prolonged whiStling,
and all the men walked out. Between IL
a. m. and / y. m. committee or District
Assembly No. 80, Knights of Labor, went
through all the yards and served an order on
all Knights to quit work at s p. IN. This
order was coupled with request addressed
to switchmen who were not Knights of
Labor. asking them to join their fellow
workmen and also go out. How
well this order was obeyed and
the request complied with was shown on
the sounding of the whistles at 3 p. m. all
the yardmen i'm the place walked out and
left the yards deserCed. No question of
wages was involved, and it is freely stated,
but not OH the authority of any Knights of
Labor official, that the order sent to the
men was simply an extension and
enlargement of the strike on the Gould
system and the initiation of general strike
on all roads east of the Missouri river. So
far about 125 men are known 10 be out, but
it is reported tonight that all of the shop
men of the Cairo narrow gauge and per-
haps one other road quit work or will
do so tomorrow. Some of the roads
will attempt to move trains tomorrow and
a good deal of apprehension is felt for the
result, as it is well known that aside from
the fact that the police force of East st.
Louis is a small one. there is large sym
pathizing element in the place, and it would
be an easy matter to resist either the city or
county authorities.

The Eight-Hour movement.

CHICAGO. March 25.-Edwin Lee Brown.
who is reported as intending TO issue a cir
cular call to leading manufacturing firms
and corporations for q conference concern
ing the proposed eight-hour movement,
with view of securing concerted action on
their part in relation thereto, was to-day
questioned about the matter. Mr.. Brown
said that the subject had been discussed in
formally by members of the executive COM
mittee of the Citizens association, but no
determination in the matter had been made
The interests concerned were so varied that
it was doubtful if any satisfactory plan of
concerted action could be agreed upon, and
if it should be the chances are that some
manufacturers and corporations would
break the agreement in the hope of pecu-
MARY gain. The crisis would have to be
met he thought, by manufacturers in

LONDON, March 25.-It is announced
that Mr.. Chamberlain favors an Irish Ma

the queens taxes to be settled at West
minister, Ireland to have liberty to manage
her own affairs. but another sOIer-
elgn authority similar to the imperial
parliament to be regarded as entirely
inadmissible; not single Irishman to be
removed from st. Stephens. This would
involve a revision, if not repeal, of the
act of union. These views are published in
substance in Mr. Chamberlain's Birmingham
organ to-day. The retention of the Irish
customs excise in the hands of the imperial
government is sine qua non of Mr..
Chamberlain, but its adherents' support
of home rule. Michael Davitt.
on the other hand, recently declared that
these were Indispensable to the Irish gov
ernment. 1t is the opinion of the best
informed that the cause of all the present
deadlock is the fact that Mr.. Gladstone
takes nobody whatever into his confidence.
1t is doubtful if anybody knows exactly
what it is he will propose. A report is cur
rent that Mr.. Chamberlain will formally
resign from the cabinet tomorrow, and that
he will state his reasons for so doing in par

AND KANSAS, TOO.
Gov. Martin IuvOkes the Law TO
Raise the Embargo.

Topeka, Kan, March 25.-GOv. Martin
issued a proclamation to-day reciting the
evils existing under the present railroad
strike, and calling upon the peace officers
of the state to protect property and see
that the commerce of the state is not inter
rupted by violence or lawleSs acts,
and to apprehend any such Of
tenders. The support of citizens
is invoked that the commerce OF the state
may be resumed. All the lawful authority
of the state will be eXacJed to support the
local officers in the discharge of these in
functions, and all persons are warned
against o5structing the railways. The gov
enor says the people are now in the third
week of the greatest business disaster that
has ever befallen the state. The interests
of one-third of its people are in
volved, supplies of food and fuel are
cut off in many localities and the business
and industry of the great masses of the
people are suspended. The stikers, he says,
may have grievances, but this does not
Justify forcible stoppage of transportation.
The state legislature at its last session
passed a law with view of aTbitrating dis
putes between employers and employees
and the state can be relied on to protect the
rights of tie workngman.

WenlIY a Wow.

LONDON, March 25.-The rumor that a
quarrel existed between Lord Randolph
Churchill and the Hon. W. II. Smith, both
of whom were members of Lord Salisbury's
cabinet is confirmed. The quarrel is serious,
and is both personal and political. 1t
originated in a speech made by Mr.. Smith,
in which he spoke in favor of Mr.. Glad
stones scheme for buying out the landlords
of Ireland and urged a fair support of the
proposal. This position provoked Lord
Randolph beyond self-restraint. He re-
torted violently, and used language sar-
castle, abusive and insulting. He declared
that the Conservatives would remain per-
petually out of power and be condemned to
everlasting opposition if such a policy
should prevail in the organization. He de-
scribed the policy as one OF ''pattering
paltroOnery." ViscOunt Cranbrook will en-
deayor to effect reconciliation.

PITTsBURG, March,, 25.-The street car
officials at meeting tonight adopted a
compromise measure promising to dis
charge no emplOye because of his connec-

fusal to violate any of the rules or princi-
pies of the order. The officials say this
is their ultimatum, and if it is not accepted,
every road in the two cities will allow the
men to strike. The compromise, it is
thought, will be accepted, as the recogni-
tiOn clause was the only one in dispute,
and the proposition virtually comedies ev-
erything demanded by the men.
