ST.. LOUIS, April 6.-The General Execu-
tive Board of the knights of Labor sent q
telegram to Hon. A. G.. Curtin, saying
that his resolution for the appointment OF
a committee to consider the present diff
culties on the Gould Southwest System
met its hearty approval. They asked for
it's passage and for the immediate presence
of the committee in st. Louis. After the
departure last night Of Secretary Turner,
Of the General Executive Board, for the
principal strike centers on the Gould
Southwest System the remaining members
of the committee announced the unani-
nous determination Of the Board to con-
tinue the present strike until the arrange
ment csn be entered into with Hoxie, re-
storing all of the strikers to their former
positions, with the exception only of those
who participated in acts Of violence and
destruction of property since the strike be-
gan. Railway officials claim that the con-
tinuance Of their regular business, which
they say has now been fully resumed, de-
ponds not in the least upon the actions OF
duH hOO &aa 1h 49,
freight blockade has been permanently
raised. They also claim that they have
employed a sufficient number of new men
to render them entirely independent of the
Knights, and that the strike will come TO
naught. Members of the General Execu.
tive Board, however, state they are conf
dent OF success of the strike, for, says
Turner, the roads cannot be operated with
out the knights. Skilled and unskilled
labor in the United States is controlled by
our organization. The statement that the
company is now carrying on its business il
not true, and reports that they are sending
out so many trains are misleading. These
are not trains. Some of them are half
trains. Some are even composed OF less
than that number of cars. Some are
empty cars sent out to maize q show.
The Trausc0ntinental War Ending.
NEW YORK, April 6.-"The present rates
will not be extended beyond tomorrow"
was said at the Transcontinental Office to-
day, but notice Of an official kind has not
yet been received. declaring the war over.
In railway circles it is generally believed.
however, the war is ended, and a rumor is
in circulation that the delay in announc-
ing the fact is occasioned by trouble expe-
rienced by the Atchison and Sunset in se-
curing the controlling interest in the Pa
cifo Mail. II is said one of the points
settled 1T the meeting at Huntington's
house last week was that the Atchison and
Sunset should generally buy Pacific Mail
stock and get control OF the Steamship
Company, in order to settle the question
Of q subsidy to the Pacific Mail. II is
stated that J.. w. Seligman d Co, repre-.
sentatives OF the Atchison and C.P. Hunt
ington, have been buying Pacific Mail on
the market for some time. 1t ID also ru-
mored a meeting took place at the Hof-
man House on Sunday at which Hunting
| ton, Sidney Dillon and Russell Sage we're
| present, and the meeting was had with ref
| erence to the Pacific Mail plan just men
toned. It was said this afternoon that an
| official announcement Of peace would not
now be long delayed, because enough Pa
| cifc Mail stock has been secured to insure
| control, and after tomorrow the line
| would be under the direction of the two
railroad lines.
LATER-Agents Of the Atchison and Sun
set lines held q conference this morning
| and decided to extend the rates until
| Thursday next. Wise men on the street
| claim that this is done because the next
| Pacific Mail steamer sails on Thursday,
| and that the new combination, which is
| said to have gained control OF the steam
| ship line, will not take the management
| until the following steamer.
