 Knights of Labor Enjoined From | BOycotting the Texas Pacihc-None Hut Passenger Trains Yet Run. ming.
 1 ST LOUIS, March 16.-The situation about | the yards of the Gould system is practically unchanged. This morning no attempt was | made to run freight trains. The Kirkwood ac- | eommodation was got out and rushing through the yards and oyer the street crossings at a twenty mile per hour speed succeeded in get ting by the strikers. The fireman left the engine however, and one of the numerous detectives took his place. The train made the trip to Kirkwood and returned safely, a guard of about twenty detectives being the only passengers. The work of hiring new men to take the place of the strikers is not progressing with any degree of success. There have been less than fifty hired up to the present time and most of them are em- ployed on guard duty.

 THE OREGON BROKEN IN TWO. Discoveries Made By A Diver Whs
 Went Down Into The Wreck.
 NEW YORK, March 16.-The diver sent to the scene of the Oregon wreck yesterday got back to New York this morning and reports that the Oregon is broken in two and that pieces from her cargo are coming to the sur face. His theory is that she broke in two when the bow struck bottom; spectators on the Fulda say that the Oregon rebounded as she struck bottom and then sank again. The only thing now to be done with her will be to blow up the hull in the hope of allow ing the cargo to be dshed up. The depth is such that diving operations can only be carried on in very calm weather if at all. The Merritt Wrecking company have now several boats near the wreck watching for freight that may come to the surface and making such examination of the wreck as is possible. No signs of wreckage from the schooner have been seen, not even spar. A committee of the passengers who had lost their baggage on the Oregon called at noon to-day at the Cunard company's office and left statement of their grievances.
