THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

Third Avenue Cars Likely To Be Run ming As Usual On Saturday-A Long,
 shoreman Murdered By A Striker.
 NEW YORK, April 28.-A conference was held this forenoon at headquarters between Superintendent Murray, Commissioner Me Clave, President Lyons ard Counsellor Lau- terbach. The proceedings were with closed doors and lasted one and half hours. One of the parties said that the matter under discussion was the settlement at an early date of the Third avenue strike. The strik CTS have agreed to regard the wishes of the officers of the company in regard to some forty or forty-fve men who are objections ble to the company for various reasons and they will not insist on their going back. In regard to the men against whom the com pany have no objections the strikers demand that they have the privilege of selecting such as are to go back. MT. Lyons favors these propositions. It is predicted that ths ears will run on Saturday as before the strike. Chairman O'Donne1 of the Empire Protec- tive association was presented with a badge to-day by the K. of L. In reply he de nounced the grand jury ''dudes and capi- talists" and said he was not afraid of indict- ment and had $100, GOO bail ready in case he was arrested.
 The situation along the river front remains practically unchanged. The strikers are de- termined not to give in and the employers will not yield to the strikers demands. This morning James McNally, striker, brutally assaulted William White, longshoreman who had refused to jcin the strike, with slungshot inflicting injuries from which he died at l o'clock this afternoon.
 Strikers fin a Rad Way
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 29.-The Lud- settling down to long wait. Few of the strikers cave money and they have no sup port from union. Pay day comes to-mor- row and the receipts will carry them along little longer. Many carloads of stock are de- tained at Springfield which will be soon re- moved to the Ludlow storehouse. The strike comes at very convenient time for the con- pany.
 THE KNIGHTS AND THE CHURCH. Cardinal Taschersau Gets a Judgment
 From Rome which Places the Order
 Among Societies which Catholics
 Cannot Join.
 MONTREAL, April 2S.-A pastoral letter was received here this morning from Cardi- nal Taschereau, condemning the Knights of Labor as secret organization inimieal to the interests of religion and good morals. Great efforts had been made by the local officers of the order here to influence the Cardinal and prevent the issuing of this pastoral. The Cardinal, it is understood, before issuing 1t conferred with all the provincial bishops, who all agree with his decision.
 The following is found in Cardinal Tach- ereau's mandament against the Knights of Labor: "Serious riots attended with disas- trous confagration and great loss of life have just occurred in a number of cities in the United States, and if the newspapers are to be believed, these misfortunes are the result of strikes organized by society whose rami- feations extend everywhere and want as it's members laboriug men of every kind. Having learned that delegates of the society known as the Knights of Labor have en- deavored to recruit members in some parts of this province, we believe it our duty, dear brethren, to place you on your guard against it and please remark that we do not speak in our name, but in that of the Holy See whose advice we have asked In the month of De- tober, 1883, we sent to Rome an authentic copy of the rules and constitution of the above society, which copy had been handed to us by one of it's members who wished to find what right or wrong there was in it. Almost one year later the congregation of the holy office, after having examined those
 
 in such a case, sent us the following answer, which should be for you absolute rule of conduct and keep you away from the society of the Knights of Labor. The following is taken from the answer:
 'On account of the principles, organization and statutes of the Knights of Labor association that organization is to be relegated among those which are prohibited by the holy sec"
 In accordance with the intuition of this supreme congregation given heretofore we do not ignore, dear brethen, that to elude this direct condemnation it was believed that certain changes or alterations in the constitution would suffice. In connection with this we might remark two things
 First-That judgment being based on the princi- ples organization and statutes of the society, everything would have to be altered not to be reached by condemnation.
 Second-That the holy see is the only competent judge to decide whether the changes made are apt to render this society acceptable for children of the church.
 While waiting for this decision Catholic must consider the society as 8 forbidden one. The congregation of the holy office continues to exhort bishops to look upon as guilty of grievous sin and unworthy of dissolution all those who persist in remaining in this soci- ety and all similar ones.
