The Strike at Other Points.

SEDALIA, Mo-. March 9-The situation amcnc
the striking Knights of Labor is unchanged
from that of yesterday, no new feature having
been developed The best of order prevails
among the men, who have appointed deega-
tion to guard the property of the railroad com
panies. This duty they are faithfully perform
ing, and violence in any form is frowned upon.
All tramps are Immediately expelled from the
town as soon as they put in an appearance.
Hugh Fitzgerald Of the Labor Union Journal
states that the men are most determined, and
will carry their point. He states that the men
are prepared to hold out for two months, if nee
essary, but it is his opinion that all differences
will be adjusted within few days. The effect
of the strike upon the business interests of the
city is already beginning to be felt and coal
famine is feared, as the supply has already be-.
gun to fail, and none can be- received over the
Missouri Pacific.
Labor keep sufficient force of men on duty to
move the passenger trains, but none are allowed
to touch freight car and all freight traffic is
suspended. Several men, not Knights of Labor
employed by the railroads have ceased work ia
support of the demands of the members of that
organization.
ST. JOSEPH Mo-, March 9-The striking
Knights of Labor in this city have no local
grievances, but have ceased work by order of the
central committee. 1t is rumored here that the
Knights of Labor employed by the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company expect
orders TO cease work in short time. and all are
ready TO go out at moments notice.
PACIFIC, Mo-, March 9.-The striking Knights
OF Labor here are quiet and orderly, but none
the less determined to stay out until the de-
mands of the strikers are granted The best of
order prevails, and the men preserve perfect
quiet

Yesterdays Developments in the Strike.

ST. LOUIS, March 9.-The condition of affairs
in relation to the strike of the employees upon
| the Gould Southwestern system, is as follows:
No freight Of any kind is allowed to pass over
the tracks of the Missouri Pacific railroad and
consequently the cars loaded with merchandise
to be shipped from the city can find no exit.
Many are laden with perishable property, and
great loss will result from their detention unless
they can be unloaded and their cargoes stored in
safer places. The grain elevators are the worst
sufferers thus far from the blockade. There is
an abundance Of grain already inspected and in
the yards, but not a bushel of it can be got to
the elevators. The number of ears thus locked
within sight, in one yard, is about one hundred,
and there enough more scattered along the
tracks within few miles of the elevators to
swell the total to 200 cars. None of the grain
can be moved until tho strike is over. In other
lines of business the effects of the strike are
also being felt to a greater or less extent, the
wool and cotton trades being the greatest suffer
ers
AS regards settlement of the strike, neither
side is willing to make any definite statement.
The officials of the railroads say that their men
have no grievances with them, and that it is i'm
possible for them to reinstate the discharged
foreman, Hall, at Marshall Tex. as they have
no authority there. The Knights of Labor state
that they have no cause to call conference of
the officers of the railroads at this point, as they
are striking now simply in support of the action
taken by their brethren in Texas, and that
matter must be settled with the receivers of the
Texas & Pacific Then, and not until then, can
any of the striking Knights return to work.
The most important and serious development
Of the strike at this point, and that which will
result most disastrously to passenger traffic. is
its extension TO the yard and switch men of the
Bridge and Tunnel Company. This move in
cludes all the employees of the company except
the engineers and fremen, the superintendent of
transfer and three yardmasters, who will at
tempt to make the transfers as usual
The significance of this departure can be
better understood wheE it is known that two
hundred ana twenty five men are employed in
the handling of the traffic which passes over the
BRIDGE and that it is not possible for four men
at each end of the bridge to throw" the switches
ard perform the other duties incidental to the bust
ness. A labyrinth of tracks converfes at the
entrance OF the bridge and tunnel on both sides
of the river, and the switches are worked by an

The Knights Of Labor Respond to Some OF

No Material Change in the Situation.

NO MateFiai CuanEc An auc SItuatious
GALVESTON, March 9~-The pending labor
troubles continue to absorb general attention.
The situation has not materially changed at this
point beyond the strike of number of cotton
handlers this afternoon at the Taylor press,
because they discovered that the cotton
was to be shipped by the NAL
lory line. The local agent of the
Missouri Pacific railway, under orders from
headquarters, laid off number Of clerks and
other employees until traffic is again resumed.
Special kilograms report almost general sus-
pension of clerks and warehousernen ut pointR
on the Missouri Pacific owing to the inability OF
the road to do any business. The local agent OF
the Missouri Pacific is receiving no freight for
that company, but is taking freight for points on
the Texas & Pacific road
The knights of Labor are holding another big
meeting to night They still claim that gen.
eral strike will ensue unless the Mallory com
pany recognizes their organization by gradually
reiustating the former strikers.
There is much discussion among the Knights
regarding the new political party known as the
United Labor Party" the birth of which, at
Decatur, H., was published in this mornings
papers. The Knights generally favor the crea-
tion of distinctively labor party.
At Houston the effects of the strike on the
Missouri Pacific are beginning to be felt, not
withstandng tho local Knights have not
struck The agents along the line of the Inter
national e Great Northern railroad refuse to
receive freight, and there are many idle men
about the streets. Only passenger trains are
running now.

Business Progressing Usual, and the Conn
munity Ready for the Struggle.
Galveston Special, sth.
Despite the boycott edict and dark rumors Of
general walk-out-in other words a strike
business in Galveston is progressing as usual
This state Of affairs, according to Knights OF
Labor gossip is, however, only temporary. The
strike will eventually come, maybe tomorrow
or Wednesday, and when it does there will be
general suspension of all business until some
terms of compromise are agreed upon The
mercantile community. on the other hand, don't
seem to care how the issue is made, and
while as anxious as possible to avoid any such
contingency, say that there is no time better
than the present to settle the question. The
failure of the order thus far to show any tangible
results consequent on their boycotting endeav-
ors together with the strong and alleged we'll
founded rumors of disaffection in their ranks has
tended to restore confidence and lead to the i'm
preston that their efforts will prove abortive
This feeling was materially strengthened to-day
by the utter failure Of the boycott committee to
secure the cooperation of their brother knights
at work in the presses, or influence three large
cotton houses to lend them assistance by not
shipping over the Mallory line It was well
known to the committee that large consgn-
ments were being compressed under special
orders, in which the manner of shipment was
not specified, and believing it was intended for
the Mallory line. they waited on Messrs. Ralli
Bros, Ladd e. Co., and Paterachi 81 CO., cotton
factors, having in all $3.50 bales for shipment.
These gentlemen in substance replied they had
contracted to ship a certain number of bales
over the Mallory line, and that they would carry
out their contracts. In plain English. they ex-
pressed themselves as being the best judges of
their own business, and did not give the com
mittee any encouragement to believe that they
would withdraw their patronage from the Nal
lory line, or cancel contracts when il was mCre
profitable TO carry them out. The committee
then, at o'clock. proceeded to the Daylor PRESS
where this cotton. some of which is to complete
the cargo of the Mallory steamship Alamo. was
being compressed. They called on the men to
refuse to handle it, and thereupon oil hands
quit work. General Superintendent Crooks met
this emergency by addressing the men. He told
them that he did not know the carrier to which
the cotton was to be sent; that there was work
enough for all the men if they wanted it. If
they did not want it, then they could go, but not
to come back in week or month, and tell him
that he had refused them work, or ask to get
back again. This settled it, and all hands re-
turned to work much to the discontinue of the
members of tho order present, anxious to see
them walk out In this connection it is rumored
that at the grand meeting of Wednesday there
will be wholesale withdrawal from the order of
the compress hands, and others who do not SYM
pathize with the present turn affairs arc taking.

candidates for the position have again been heard

has given the utmost satisfaction to all parties
by his impartial conduct of affairs in this Office

he assumed control Of the Office, he has treated
Democrats and Republicans with equal fairness
in selecting appointees, and for this reason he
has warm supporters in both political parties in

Duties-The Attorney Generals Illness.

this evening, that Secretary Lamar was i'll
caused flutter Of excitement in official and po-
htical circles. With Secretary Manning and
attorney general Garland, this makes three
members of the Cabinet i'll. Secretary Lamar,
it is well known, is in very frail health, being
almost worn out, and his death, as also that of
Secretary Manning, would create no surprise
here at any time. The illness of Attorney gen
eral Garland is stated to be of q nervous char
acter, and to be due to the Pan-electric tele-
phone agitation. There is a growing feeling
Chat the Cabinet will soon be partially dissolved
and President Cleveland is reported not little
worried over the outlook.
It is generally conceded that Mr.. Mannings
days as Secretary of the Treasury have ended
It is not believed that he will ever again assume
the duties of his position. He has been a won
derful worker since he took the oath of Office
It is doubtful if ever q Secretary before him
paid the attention to the duties OF his Office
that Mr.. Manning has done. He has been SO
active and so close in attention to his duties that
he has frequently required three or four stenog-
Eaphers to help him out with his correspondence

naturally been too much for him, and there is
doubt that his present illness is the result Of
