SEEKING ARBITRATION.
Mr. PowderIy will Make a PropOsi-
ton TO Gould.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Grand Master
Workman Powderly of the Knights of
Labor arrived here tonight and held con-
sultation with the other members of the
general executive board. In conversation
with a representative of the Associated
Press in regard to the statements of Master
Workman Irons of st. Louis as to the
strike becoming general throughout
the country, Mr.. POwderly reiterated
his views as expressed in the interview
held with him at Scranton. If Mr.. Irons
had made any such statements he had ex-
ceeded his authority, which is limited to
district 101. He even has no power over
districts No. II and 10. which are cooper
ating with 101. The strike had gone far
enough, and not another move must be
made without the order of the general eX-
ecutive board. He added:
The strike originated in District 1O1. The
general executive board was never notified
OF any grievance in that district until the
strike had been in progress several days, and
then no official notice was received until we
called for it, We were not asked to inter-
fere, nor have We been asked for assistance.
This strike has extended far enough and
must be settled where it is. The statement
that 1t is for the recognition of the Knights
of Labor as an organization is erroneous, and
the men have grievances and
CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT
we believe to be true, but, whether true or
not, no harm can come of an investigation
The men are anxious for it and we can see no
reason why Mr.. HoXie should fear it. We
are in favor of ending the matter now and
will submit this proposition to Mr.. Gould to-
morrow, viz: Let him appoint a committee
of three and we will appoint a similar COM
mittee, then let these gentlemen select a sew
enth, they TO investigate the whole affair and
make recommendations, and we will agree to
abide by their decision. We will not ask for
the retention of any man who has been guilty
of any act of violence to either person or
property, for we are not organized to pro-
mote or shield wrong doing.
Mr.. Powderly said when asked about the
words of Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, as reported in
these dispatches of this afternoon, that he
did not believe that Chief Arthur said any
such things, but he would write him a letter
and ask him about it.
If he did say so two-thirds of the engineers
would contradict him. In times like these we
must be careful Of what we say or do. The
public feeling is such now that no one should
excite them unduly.

Throughout the Southwest.

ST.. LOUIS, March 26.-Specials to the
Post-Dispatch from various points in Kan
sas and Missouri are to the effect that the
Missouri Pacific officials have succeeded in
starting out freight trains in several in
stances without interference. Acts of vio-
lence, however, are reported from Atchi-
son, where several strikers boarded the
train sent out from that city and, despite
the presence of the United States marshal
and several of his deputies,
succeeded in killing the engine.
At Little Rock no trouble has yet occurred,
but riot is anticipated when the attempt
is made to run freight trains. The strikers
having made threats that they will interfere
with any such proceeding, the officials as
Serting that the attempt will be made at all
hazards. No attempt has been made at
Kansas City to move Missouri Pacific freight
trains and there will be probably none while
Sedalia and AtchiSOn are blockaded.

BiSmlarck,s BraVadO.

BERLIN, March 26.-The debate on the
second reading of the spirit monopoly bill
was begun in the reichstag to-day. Prince
Bismarck insisted upon the necessity of in
creasing the imperial revenues. 1t was i'm
possible, he said, to increase the revenues
by direct taxation. Spirit was especially
favorable for taxation. If the monopoly
bill should be rejected the government
would introduce bill to tax the consump-
tion of spirits. 1t was doubtful whether
with a majority the reichstag would ever
be the pivot upon which German unity
should revOlve. If the reichstag did not
better comprehend its duty he feared
for the future of the empire
in the event of complication
with foreign countries, though he saw no
immediate danger. He would also say that
he saw no danger in the spring of 1870. If
the strength of the empire was likely to be
put to a severe test, the present was the
time to provide for contingencies. The
adoption of the spirit monopoly bill would
strengthen, while its rejection would
prejudice the empire. If the reichstag
should also reject the consumption tax it
would be necessary to introduce a license
tax in Prussia. After speech by Herr
Richter. Prince Bismarck again spoke. He
referred to Herr Richter's attitude of oppo-
sition, and said, IF am reproached with
inducing the Emperor to go to Canossa, I
reply that he has before this experienced a
worse CanosSa in the reichstag." The de-
bate was adjourned until Saturday.

Engineers and f1remen on the Grand Trunk

thought if the request is not granted there
will be strike over the whole Grand Trunk
system.
The conference between the street car Of

THE PRosTRATED SECRETARY.
DIR. Hamilton Reports His Coudi
ton Not so Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Mr. Manning,
son of Secretary Manning, said to an AssO-
coiated Press reporter at IL o'clock to-day,
that the condition of his father remained
practically unchanged. The physicians
had informed him that his father was pass
ing through critical stage of his disease,
and that every hour passed without indica-
ton of unfavorable symptoms was so much
progress towards recovery. Mr.. Manning
said his fathers system was in good condi-
ton, and his pulse as strong and natural as
that of a person in good health, and as he
possessed considerable vitality. his family
was encouraged to the belief that he would
come through all right. They all realized,
however, that he was in a critical condition,
and not entirely out of danger. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Delahanty of Albany and Miss
Mary E. Manning, the secretary's daughter,
arrived here this morning. Mrs. Delahanty
is the secretary's sister. They were not
summoned. but came because of the

sister, who has been at the house for sew

ning's condition this morning was the same
as it was yesterday. There was tenn
porary improvement last evening. but it
was certain that his condition to-day showed
no Improvement since yesterday. 1t is
learned from other sources that the secre
tary passed a restless night, with more or
less fever, and that as a consequence he
was somewhat weaker this morning. The
rumors regarding a prospective change in
the head of the treasury department, arise
,1r,,ba hlx- from, almost orpnpral innrpScinO
that Mr.. Manning will never resume the
duties of that office, even in the event of
his complete restoration of health.
A COMFORTABLE DAY.
The secretary's condition tonight re-
mains practically unchanged. To an As
sOciated Press reporter the secretary's son
said. that to-day was the best his father
had had since the attack. The doctor after
his return from the secretary's bedside at
1870 tonight said his patient was, if any,
thing, shade better than last night. He
had had a very comfortable day. He did
not look for any material change for
the better for several days. A change for
the worse was what was to be expected
in such case but he felt encouraged. The
secretary's breathing was less labored than
it had been and he joined in conversation
and joked with those about him. His

reduction in flesh. owing to the light nour-
ishment given him. The secretary's son
was at his bedside this afternoon and spent
several hours with him in company with
his sister, Mrs. Delehanty. The secretary
recognized them at once. and in the course
of conversation remarked: 'I little ex-
pected to be pulled down like this. q"
Young Mr.. Manning said the secretary was
comparatively cheerful and looked better
than he expected to find him.

ON THE OTHER HAND.
Irons Says the Strike Will Take in
The Country.

ST. LOUIS, March 26.-''Is there any proba-
bility Of the strikes extending any further?'
asked a reporter OF Chairman Martin Irons,
at East st. Louis last night.
ayes" answered Mr.. Irons, ''the strike will
probably extend throughout the whole United
States"
''Will it be confined to railway employes?"
''No, sir. The move to-day is but the be-
ginning of the end. Not only the railroad
employees viii be called out, but the order
will 90 out to all Knights of Labor in this
country, regardless OF their occupation"
'Then il will be general striker

has got TO be recognized"

IRONS WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
PowderIy Asserts Positively That
the strike VIII Not Extend.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 26.-Grand
Master Workmen Powderly of the Knights
of Labor, who has been confined to his
home for several days owing to an acci-
dent which he sustained last Saturday
night in Bloomington, ILL.,, where he fell
and fractured two of his ribs, was called
upon this afternoon by representative of
the Associated Press, and in reply to
the question,
"Is the strike in the Southwest likely to
extendy' answered:
'Most emphatically no. Every strike must
be confined TO the section in which 1t orig
mates, and must be settled there"
When asked what authority there was for
the statement of Chairman Irons of st. Louis
published this afternoon, to the effect that
the strike would probably extend throughout
the United States and include all the Knights
of Labor regardless of occupation, Mr.. Pow
derly replied:
Mr.. Irons has no authority whatever to
make such q statement. That order can
only come from the executive board. / may
say there Is no danger whatever of any such
order being issued at present. When the
Knights OF Labor are on terms of peace with
their employers, their agreements and con-
tracts must be lived up TO, no matter what
may be going on In any other part of the
country where no contract or agreement ex-
lists between employer and employe. All
references must be settled through arb.tra-

white cap was removed when the body was
placed in the coffin, the lid screwed on, and
the mortal remains of Frank Mulkowski
were taken to the plain, bOX-like hearse

THE CRIME.
OF all foul deeds ever committed in Chi
cago' the murder of Mrs. Agnes kledZeick
was one OF the blacklist aud foulest. 1t was
on a conviction for this hideous crime. OBJ
tanned by circumstantial evidence, that FL ank
Mulkowski paid the penalty on the gallows
to-day. Joseph Kledzeick and his young
wife Agnes lived in the second story OF a hum
BILE house At lS6 Southport avenue, They
were Polish people, had not been long in
America and had been married butlittle more
than year. They were industrious and
lived frugally but happily. The husband
was employed in the rolling mills in the north
western part OF the city. They saved their
money in the expectation that a little one
was soon TO bless their home. On Saturday
evening, Aug. 22, kledZeick returned home
as usual from his work at about $3.50 O'Clock.

was nearly eight months pregnant. lnvesti-
CATION showed that she had been on her
knees scrubing the bedroom floor, with her
back probably turned toward the only door in
the chamber when the murderer crept up
behind aud dealt her blow at the base OF
the brain, which rendered her unconscious.
Then sey eral more terrible blows were struck
by some blunt instrument TO complete tue
work. The assassin next proceeded TO ran
sack the house, his object being plunder.
He found SS5 in the mattress on the bed, $50
in paper box in the trunk in the bedroom
and SO in another trunk in the sitting-room
and some jewelry. A few days after the
commission OF the crime officers arrested
Mulkowski. and identified him as the man who
pawned. sold and gave away the stolen articles
of jewelry. The money was found on his
person. He stoutly denied his guilt, how

BERLIN, March 26.-Prince Bismarck
appeared in the reichstag to-day. Refer
ring to criticisms on his recent speech, at
tacking the opposition for combating the
crowns policy in PoSen, in which he was
accused of meditating a coup d'tat, he reaf-
tirmed he was not. He took occasion, how
ever, to warn the rechstag of what might
be its fate if it stood in the way of Ger
many's progress. The bundestag, he re-
minded his hearers, grounded on treaties
and laws, yet Germany was contented to
see it fall. and the reichstag might possibly
have similar end if it refused to fulfill its
duties to the empire.

Conflict at Cork.

CORK, March ga large meeting Of
loyalists was held here to-day. Three
thousand tickets of admission had been is
sued, and as the holders presented them
selves at the doors of the meeting hall they
were closely scrutinized in order to prevent
the entrance of persons not in accord with
the objects of the gathering. Lords Hamil-
ton, Bandon and Castletown made vigor-
Gus speeches against home rule, while the
crowds outside cheered Gladstone and Par
nell and sang God Save Ireland" When
the meeting broke up there was collision
between the opposing parties and sticks and
stones were freely used.

TRAFFIC SUSPENDED.
Practically no Business Being Done
in East ST. Louis.

IN EaSL Ste LOUIS
ST. LOUIS, March 26.-The situation at
East st. Louis this morning is becoming
serious. The yardmasters of the different
roads have been attempting all the morning
to make up and start out freight trains, but
they have in every instance been prevented
from carrying out their designs by the
striking switcbmen, who are using all
means at their disposal to make the freight
blockade in that city complete. Coupling
pins are removed from their positions, and
the trains become separated; switches are
reversed, and the trains are run upon the
wrong tracks; and in some instances the
yardmasters have been forcibly restrained
In their efforts to resume freight traffic. No
serious trouble has as yet occurred, but it
is understood that the officers Of the law
will be called upon to-day to preserve order
and property, as conflict is expected. The
officials of the Vandalia q Burlington rail-
roads succeeded in sending out two freight
trains this afternoon without serious inter-
ference by the striking switchmen there.
They were the only two successful attempts,
however, to move freight, and traffic is
almost entirely suspended. Twenty-Five
switchmen at the Wabash yards in this city
have gone out, but they are not sustained
by the Knights of Labor executive COM
mittee.
After discussing at some length the stu
alton the men decided to heed the advice of
their chairman, and they proceeded to the
Wabash yards and resumed work.

COWBOYS KILLED.
Four Persons Lose Their Lives in a
Texas Row.

Fort ELLIOTT, Tex. March 26.-For
some time past the cowboys employed on
the t.. 5. ranch. near the town of Tascosa,
have been accused of "mavericking" cattle
that fell in their way. On March 20 four
beeves, owned by friend of l.. E. Wood
ruff bartender in Tascosa, disappeared,
and the l.. 5. ranch cowboys were accused
of appropriating them, but they strenuously
denied the accusation. Shortly after mid
night on the 2lst inst. the inhabitants OF
the town were aroused by vOlley from
rifles and revolvers. Among those who
jumped to their doors to ascertain the
cause of the trouble was Jesse Sheets, a
hotel proprietor. He had hardly looked
out when a second fusilade was fired, and
he fell dead. riddled with bullets. AS
zens made an investigation and found Ed
King, Frank Valley and Fred Chill
ton of the l.. S. Ranch dead,
and Charles Emery and the bartender
Woodruff severely wounded. 1t appears
that the cowboys, with a miscellaneous
party. had gone to saloon to drink. After
a few minutes quiet conversation the
maverick" question came up, and Valley
said that he was tired of the insinuation,
and added: by -, wont stand il"
All hands drew their weapons and began
firing, but the cowboys evidently had the
disadvantage of being the poorer marks
men. The officers have arrested Charles
Emery, one of the wounded men; John
Cough. known as Catfish Kid" and Louis
Bonsnlan. The prisoners claim that it was
a matter of annihilatiOn for one side or the
other, and they did the best they could for
their own lives. The killing of Skeets was
entirely mintentional, as he was not con-
nected with the dispute in any way.

Irons, Position UntenabIe.

PHILADELPHIA, March 26. - General
Secretary Turner of the executive board of
the Knights of Labor, this afternoon when
shown copy of the st. Louis dispatch, in
which Chairman Irons is quoted as saying
the strike would probably very soon extend
throughout the United States, said:
That is all bosh. If Chairman Irons is
correctly quoted, it simply shows that
he is one of the men who are at
present doing the order great injury. Great
care should be exercised by assembly officials
lest remarks of theirs should lead to incen-
diary acts by hot-headed followers, and thus
injure the cause more in few hours than
could be regained in year. There is no
truth whatever in the statement that there
will be general strike, and the executive
board does not contemplate issuing any such
order as is intimated by Mr.. Irons in the St.
Louis dispatch.
Mr.. Turner declined to be interviewed
relative to the general situation on the
Southwestern railroads. He. however, in
dorsed the sentiments contained in the
secret circular" telegraphed from st.
Louis to-day, in which assemblies are adj
viSed to cease admitting new members and
cOunseling moderation by present members.
This circular, he said, was not intended for
publication, but now that it has reached the
public he feels satisfied that the orders
therein contained will be sanctioned by the
friends of the order.
