SCRANTON, Penn, April 15.-In an inter-
view this afternoon Mr.. Powderly, when
asked what he thought of Mr.. Gould's
reply to his manifesto, said: II have not
had much time to think of it, for this has
been an unusua ly busy day for me. l
don't think. however, that Mr.. Gould has
answered my letter. His reply is quibble
and all evasion, and he fairly slops over on
some points. All there is in his c"mmuni.
cation has been said before. He
evidently wants to pose before
the country in the light OF u
martyr, hut the Knights OF Labor don't
propose to honor him with martyrdom.

Hwitchmen on a strike.

CHICAGO, April 16.-All union switchlnen
OF the Baltimore & OHIO railroad here went
out on a strike this afternoon. The differ,
ence grows out OF the fact that the Switch
mems Union has demanded the discharps OF
few non.union scabs and the refusal OF
the company to comply with the request
The local agent Of the company says the
Objectionable men were taken into the en-
ploy Of the company at the time OF the last
strike and have been faithful y orkmen, and
he thought the company would now stand
by them. Between 50 and 70 of the Chi.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
A Dull Day In Beth Branches of the
National Legislature.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-In the Senate,
Mr.. Logan took the floor in support of the
movement for open Executive sessions.
He preferred his own resolution, he said,
because it provided broadly for open ses-
sions on all matters of nomination and
confirmation, without destroying secret
sessions.
Mr.. Hoar asked Mr.. Logan whether his
logic would not require the proceedings of
committees also to be op'n to the pub
lie. Mr.. Logan replied: Not at all, but
why should not committee meetings be
open to the publicif ANYBODY wanted them
to be-" Mr.. Hoar said that hardly any
proceedings we're Of more Importance or
more public interest than the proceedings
Of the committee on ways and means OF of
the House Of Representatives or the
finance committee of the Senate, and es-
pecially important were the proceedings of
the conferences on questions OF revenue.
After further debate, the Senate went into
executive session, and when the doors were
reopened, adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
In the House, to-day, on motion of Mr..
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, Senate bills
were passed extending to Omaha, Ne
braska, and to Portland, Oregon, the pro-
visions OF the law relative to the imme-
Giate transportation OF dutiable goods.
The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole on the river and harbor appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Wells, OF Kentucky,
briefly reviewed and explained the pro-
visions OF the bill, which, be contended,
called for no appropriation which was not
demanded by the interests of the country.
The most critical scrutiny OF the measure
would show that the rivers and harbors
enumerated in it were worthy Of improve
ment and were OF public Importance. The
bill WAS then read by sections for amend
ments, and some little progress was made
before the committee rose and the House
adjourned.
THE CHINESE BILLS.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
to-day considered the Morrow Chinese bill
and the Chinese indemnity resolution and
although no final action was reached there
was a free expression Of individual senti-
ment n the subjects. The period fixed
for the restriction OF the Chinese in the
Morrow bill was regarded as too
long by a number OF member OF
the committee, and there was de-
cided opposition developed to that por.
tion of the hill forbidding the return OF
Chinese to this country after two years
absence. 1t was held Chat TINS pOru'on IL
in conflict with the treaty stipulations, as
it onId apply to Chinese who were here
in this country before the consideration Of
the bill. It is probable that the measure
viii be amended in these respects.
The The indemnity resolution in it's pres
ont shape was regarded as Objectionable
as establishing dangerous precedent and
there is somedisposition to make cash pay
ments to China under the guise OF returning
an excess of indemnity paid by China to
the United States as n result OF the out
break of 1857. The California delegation
urged the committee to immediate action
and it is possible that at the next meeting
both measures will be agreed upon.

New YORK, April 16.-The following state

81. 200, 900, as has been stated. This wonld
suffice to pay X per cent dividend, if it
were available for that purpose, but the
Company has not yet funded all of its float

some portion of it out OF the rental. The
