FoRT WoRrH. TR1As, March 2.-There
Is universal surprise in this city at the great
railroad strike which began here last even,

Ter and, in fact, every man who belongs
to Assembly No, 10l, Knights Of Labor,
stopped work. The business OF the Texas
Pacific and Missouri Pacific was almost
completely suspended here, Three hun
dred men had stopped work in an instant,
The orders came from Sedalia.
The causes are said 10 bs numerous, but
the chief one Is that 81 81 per day Is de.
mRudsd for unskilled lAborerF, who now
recsivs 81 10 per day. Other reasons ara
the refusal 10 make eight hours days
work aud the discharge Of msuas Mar
shall. No freight trains went out last
night and all the freight engines are In
the round house. No railroad work OF
any description Is being done except the
movement ot passenger trains, and no
one Is lef; to handle the baggage butthe
baggage master.
II Is stated tina! the strike is likely to
become general ON all the Gould lines In
Texas as we'll as the Texas Pacific, and
that the trouble may extend to other
roads In the Slate.

tho greatest outburst Of eloquencs which
has been heard in Congress ior years,
Before the speech commenced few were
in the hall, but as Mr., Wilson warmed W
with hIs subject the House rapidly Glled
and in a short time nearly every Demo,
crat was in his seat. The Republicans
left their seats and crowded the aisles and
areas on the Democratic side, in the centre
OF which stood the orator.
At frequent intervals he was interrupted
by tremendous applause, which was, IN
several instances, Joined In by the Repub'

Members Of all parties pronounce 1t one
Of the most impassi0uej, eloquent and
scholarly speeches ever delivered on the

On its conclusion, a rush was made TO-

was overwhelmed with congratulations.
The speech has undoubtedly placed him
at the front Of the orstoTs OF the House
aud has won for him place as a leader Of
the Democratic side, His triumph was q
