AT Wills POINT.
Special TO the Gazette
Wills POINT, TEX, March 27.-Fresh
interest Is being manifested in the strike
daily, and the present outlook causes a
gloomy forebodlng on the part OF the
older and more cautious portion OF our
citizens. Many who boldly denounced
the strikers only few days since now
express doubts as TO the business OF the
cause of the railroad officials.
They wonder why all the rail-
road strikes originate on the Gould
system, ii there be no cause for them
THE GAZETTE reporter talked with many
farmers to-day, and to man their SYM
pathles were favorable to the strikers.
Many of them were anxious to see a copy
Of the resolution and signatures from

He said nothing but a practice of the
golden rule would ever bring lasting
harmony between capital and labor, and
intimated that both sides were equally at
fault. Many think that should the rail-
road officials triumph now 1t viii be only
a question of time when all the men who
take the places of the strikers will be
members of the knights Of Labor or some
similar organization, and then the old
story will be repeated over again, and

yards and was kept up all day without
any interference whatever by the strikers.

Denison had gone TO Palestine to arrange
for an arbitration between the railroad

arbitration is being figured on which Il is
to be hoped will soon end the strike.

Special 70 the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, March Practically
there is no change IN the situation Of the

three gentlemen from Fort Worth, but
what was done is not known. EVERYTHING

that II was written only yesterday. They
claim the letter was written at Scranton,

all the local assemblies. The pay-car
returned from trip West to-day and
