a Bloody Contest Probable.

KANSAS CITY, March 3O.-The strike has
assumed serious aspect, and bloody con-
fict between strikers and the police is be-
lieved to be inevitable. This morning a
freight train was sent out under police pro-
lection, and when near the eastern limits
of the city, two strikers turned switch
and ditched the train. Police ordered the
strikers to surrender, but they refused to
do so, and fire was opened upon them, and
Dennis Noonan, one of the strikers, was
shot, but not fatally wounded, and his
companion was captured. The strikers are
greatly excited, and threaten to raise the
black flag and open carnival of blood
shed. The militia are being held in read-
ness to move upon the strikers at mo-
ment's notice.

bash railroad yards in North St. Louis, the
regular passenger and freight trains are
arriving on time, without any trouble. No
crowds of strikers have offered any resist
ance to the regular business of the road
at that point, and none is expected. This
afternoon the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy

of the yards in East st. Louis A short
distance beyond the relay depot number
of strikers boarded the train and succeeded
in detaching the seven rear cars. The en-
gine with the remaining cars escaped.

The Washington Territory Admission Bill.
The Labor Question.

The Washington Territory Admission Bill.
The Labor Question.
WASHINGTON, March S1.-In the senate
Logan's army bill was taken up and dis
cussed by Senators Logan and Plumb.
Mr.. Dolp, then addressed the senate in
support of the bill for the admission of
Washington territory. He claimed that
from every point of view the territory was
entitled to admission. Abiding to the re-
cent anti-Chinese occurrences in the terri
tory, Mr.. Dolph said they were not the work
of citizens of Washington territory, but OF
foreigners. The outrages he characterized
as ineXcusable He would not defend law
less violence, but there were some mitigat-
ing circumstances in the case. The people
of the whole Pacific coast were unanimous
as to the policy OF excluding the
Chinese, but the proximity of Washington
territory to British Columbia gave an op-
portunity to many Chinese on the compile
ton of the Canadian Pacific railroad to get
into Washington territory, and so violate
the laws of the United States. Although
the national troops had been called for, the
people OF Washington territory had them
selves arranged the matters before the
troops arrived. The anti-Chinese incident
should not prejudice the case of the
territory. Occurrences just as reprehensi-
bic had occurred in most OF the states be-
fore admission, and some since.
After an executive session, the senate ad-
journed.
A BILL. INTRODUCED TO SETTLE THE La
BOR QUESTION.
In the house Mr.. O'Neill introduced bill
providing for the settlement of disputes be-
tween common carriers and employees, and
it was referred to the committee of the
whole and at once discussed, without ac-
ton. The committee rose, and Mr. Willis, of
Kentucky, reported the river and harbor
bill. The report of the majority on the
Hurd-Romeis election case was submitted
and Mr.. Martin, of Alabama, obtained leave
to file a minority report. The house then
adjourned.
