LAMAR's REASONS.
GEN. Johnston Innocent.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, commissioner of railroads, was
examined by the telephone il tigating
committee to-day. He was sure ...e idea of
using official influence to further the inter-
ests of the company had never been thought
Of by his associates. He had never heard.
until the subject had been mentioned by
Mr.. Ranney, that Senators Garland and
Harris had written professional opinions
touching the validity of the patents. He
saw now that the opinions of the associates
as to the value of Rogers patent were
highly eXtravagant Mr.. Ranney inquired
whether the name of Judge Baxter had
been mentioned in the conversations rela-
tive TO the suits. The witness remembered
that Judge BaXter's name had been men
toned, and that suit before him was not
regarded as particularly advisable because
he was said to be hostile and antagonistic
to Senator Harris. Adjourned.

GouId,s Interest i'm humanity.

NEW YORK, April with reference to
the manifesto of the Knights Of Labor,
published this morning, Mr.. Goulds repre-
sentative said:
These people seem to forget that coal was
made % per cent cheaper throughout the
Southwest by Mr.. Gould when he opened the
railroad system. The people through that
country are in favor OF that company, which
shows the statements made this morning are
absurd. The Knights, because the Kansas
City Journal denounced the acts of the
strikers, demanded that the Union News COM
pany should not deliver any of the papers of
the Journal. Mr.. HoXie notified the News
company that no other papers should be car
ried if it did not deliver the Journal as usual.
The News company had before decided TO pay
no attention to the order of the Knights. Mr.
Gould said the manifesto of the knights
would not have much weight upon the people,
especially the people of the Southwest, and
he did not seem at all disturbed.

Three PersOns DroWned,

NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, April About
s o'clock last night the schooner Beta from
Halifax was driven on the beach of Plum
island. About midnight the proprietor of
the Halfway house discovered the vessel,
and on going to it found it abandoned.
Search among the sand hills revealed a
party consisting of three men, two women
and a child. They were all half dead from
cold and exhaustion, and were taken to the
house and cared for. The Beta. besides her
crew of six men, had eight passengers. In
cluding two women and three children.
When the vessel struck the passengers were
sent to the cabin, where they remained
until heavy sea almost filed it and drove
them into the rigging. A girl of years
and all eight-months' old infant were torn
by the sea from the arms of their mother
and drowned, and the cook was swept into
his galley and drowned. The survivors,
drenched with water and half-frozen to
death. clung to the stays and shrouds until
day-break, when the tide having fallen a
few men got ashore with line, by means
of which all the others were rescued. No
names have been learned.

Missouri Pacific Wages.

TOPEKA, Kan, April State Labor
Commissioner Belton, in an interview to-
day expressed the opinion that if the
Missouri Pacific officials continued their
discourteous treatment of the Knights of
Labor a general boycott against the
Gould system would be ordered.
The commissioner said some time ago West
ern roads at his request gave him figures
regarding their scale of wages, from which
he made a tabulated statement. demon
strating that the Missouri Pacific paid
an average of 80 per cent. less wages
than any other road. The commissioner
also expressed disbelief in Mr.. Gould's
statement, that the company had retained
in its employ hundreds of unnecessary men
for fear of precipitating trouble with the

Manning's shoes.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, April THE feeling
that Secretary Manning will never attempt
the duties of secretary of the treasury
again continues. A close friend of his is
quoted as saying: ''He would not be sur
prised if new secretary of the treasury
was nominated this week. He further
stated that the person to be selected as Sec
retary Manning's successor would be no
Mugwump. but pure, unadulterated Dem
ocrat" He added that Mr.. Manning re-
allied that the struggle that he was now
making was one of life and death, and that
he could not afford to jeopardize his chance
of recovery by thinking of ever resuming
his duties as secretary of the treasury.

Labor, but up to a late hour tonight
none of these nor a half dozen other rumors
have been verified. It's not even definitely
known that Mr.. Arthur has been in the city
to-day, nor can it be learned that the en-
gineers have held any meetings TO discuss
their relations to their strike. 1t may be
stated with reasonable safety that they have
taken no recent action and that their posi-
ton is now the same as heretofore
throughout the trouble. A report gained
circulation tonight that Mr.. Arthur has
been in secret conference with some high
railroad officials and that he has left town,
but can be traced to no reliable source and
little credence is given to it. The report
of this morning that twenty Of
the locomotive firemen of the
Bridge Il Tunnel company had struck is
now denied, and the fact that bridge traffic
was not interrupted to-day gives strong
color of fact to the denial. The statement
to-day that the mob in East st. Louis was
first checked by the display of Winchester
rifles in the hands of deputy sheriffs in the
Chicago & Alton yards seems to have been
mistake The scene occurred in the yards
of the Louisville & Nashville road.

LOGAN's BILL BEATEN.
Ihe Senate Decides Army Increase
Unnecessary.

WASHINGTON, April I'm the senate
Mr.. Hawley took the floor in support of the
army bill. Mr.. Teller thought Mr.. Haw-
ley's argument went to show that the army
should be used as a police force Mr.. Haw-
ley emphatically denied that he would use
the army to interfere with the people. He
applauded Mr.. Powderly's views. and said
Mr.. Powderly was man of more conserv-
atism and standing in this country than
some men on the floor of the senate. Mr..
Van Wyck asked if the Knights of Labor
had petitioned for an increase Of the army.
He called attention to the fact that the
army had been thrust IN the way of the
fugitive slave fleeing for life and liberty.
Mr.. Hawley said he had never favored the
fugitive slave law. Mr.. Van Wyck said:
You have raised another class of slave
holders in the Goulds and Vanderbilts Just as
unrelenting and determined and steeled
against the instincts of humanity as the old
Shareholders were, and think a little more
The Knights of Labor have no sympathy for
the commune.
Mr.. Logan-This bill has been introduced
! four times, and it is beneath any man 10 say
that il was brought here because of Gould or
Vanderbilt. 1t is so low a species of dema-
gogy that no man ought TO stoop TO it.
Mr.. Van Wyck-Is that alp Laughterl
Mr.. Lcgan-That is all.
AN ESTIMATE OF VAN wYcK
Mr.. Hawley-It has been said the senator
from Nebraska never missed an opportuuity
TO make mischief. Laughter.l He seldom
makes mischief, but he never fails to try. II
there is a disturbing element, a doubtful
question, misapprehension or a dread any.
where, that senator hovies over il, exag.
gerates II, makes himself the prophet OF IL and
attacks the motions of every member of the
senate. He may be trusted to appear at pre-
cisely the wrong time, saying the precisely
unjust thing 1 will translate his insin-
uations in this matter. He tries to briug out
that i am an enemy to the organized
attempt of labor TO benefit itself
and that would use the army
to put down labor The strikers are of the
people. The ballott-box is open TO them
They have choice of candidates; the forum

known TO the constitution are open 10 them.
Wages should be sometimes advanced and
sometimes reduced When mutual depend
ency prevails a better relation will exis

WASHINGTON, April TT is suggested
that the illness that two of the cabinet Off

Garland walked home in the rain and thus

throat. Secretary Lamar got out of a
Fourteenth street bob-tail car at II street
and walked through the drenching rain TO
meet an appointment. He got his feet and
legs wet and soon was unable to leave his

enough TO yield 10 the miserable clamor
about using the eoupes that had been for
many years attached to their respective de-
nartmentS.

AT ST. LOUIS.
Many Unconfirmed Rumors--NEat.
ters Generally Unchanged

ST. LOUIS, April 7.--One of the men,
bers of the executive committee of District
Assembly No. 101 said to-day that the
presence of Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers is not viewed in
favorable light by some of the leading
Knights. In the absence of any positive in
formation concerning the object of his
visit here, they argue if there was any
truth in the report that the engineers con-
templated joining the strikers in aggres-
sIve action against the railroad, some OF his
prominent Iieutenants would have intimated
as much to the members of one of the two
executive committees now in session.
Neither Arthur nor any of his men has
called upon nor held any con-
versation with any of the COM
mittee men, and have carefully
refrained from affiliating with them in any
manner, official or otherwise. The general
impression appears to be that Arthur is
doing his best TO prevail upon his men to
stand by the roads. Matters have been
very quiet at the union depot to-day.
There was a goOdly number of strickers
about the platform cOnversing among
themselves, but they have little to do or say
to outsiders. Nearly all the men who had

found murdered in his back yard this morn

self in an old hut near the depot and was
supposed to have considerable money about
his person. On the discovery OF the body
trail was found leading to the house of
Thomas Kelley, a man of hard reputation,
the ground showing plainly that he had
been dragged from Kelley'S house. The
police at once took charge of the premises
and asrested Kelley and his wife. In the
cellar was found the murdered mans coat
and one of his shoes, a club covered with
blood and hair, and soldering iron in the
the same condition. Blood was on the
