A MGSSOURI MANDATE.
Gov. 0lnrmaduke Directs the Mis-
ROuri paCiGic to Mun Trains.

souri, Pacific to Rum Trains.
ST. LOUIS, March 25.-Gov. Marmaduke
of Missouri issued at late hour last night
a proclamation relative to the railroad
strike. so far as it affects the commerce OF
the state. After defining the respective
duties of the railroad company and their
employeS the proclamation continues:
Wherefore |, John S. Marmaduke. gov
ernor of the state OF Missouri by virtue OF
the authority in me vested, do hereby Call
upon Il o Missouri Pacific Railway company,
and upon its officers and agents, ana its en-
ployes OF every grade, each in their several
capacities to assist in resuming traffic OF all
kinds in the usual way, on all the railroad
lines operated by said company in Missouri;
and l warn all persons, whether they be EN-
ployes or not against interp pOSing any obsJa-
Gle whatever i'll the way OF such resumption,
and will affirm reliance upon the courage,
good sense and law-abiding spirit OF the pub
lie. l hereby call upon good citizens TO as
sist i'll carrying out the purposes of this
proclamation, and I also hereby pledge the
whole power of the state, so far as it may be
lawfully welded by its chief executive officer,
TO sustain said company and lis servants in
said resumption, and 10 restrain and punish
all that may oppose it.
ANOTHER TRAIN MOVES.
a Missouri Pacific freight train was sent
out this morning under guard of the police.
"a
had cOngregated and upon making hostile
demonstration were charged by the police,
who dispersed the mob, and the train passed
that point safely. Further on, however.
one OF the strikers separated from crowd
of his friends, and, jumping upon the side
ladder of one OF the cars, attempted to draw
the coupling pin, but was unsuccessful.
The policemen in charge OF this car ordered
him TO get off, but no attention was paid to
them, and he persisted in his efforts, and
failed only because he had not sufficient
strength. Several similar attempts were
made TO uncOuple the ears, but they all
proved unsuccessful, and the train finally
reached the city limits safely. Thence the
train proceeded on its way, and the police
returned to the city. The Rainwater rifles
and Company q are under arms at the arm
ory ready to assist the police at moments
notice, and all the militia forces OF the city
are under instructions to be ready for action
at the call of the governor.
THE SITUATION ELSEWHERE.
The interior towns of Kansas are suffer
ing for the necessities of life, and unless
traffic is resumed shortly there will be a
gigantic strike against the strike. AT
Stockton, $50 miles west. the people have
sent to the Kansas Pacific road, forty-five
miles distant, for supplies of provisions.
There is at present at that place less than
two cars Of coal and a single barrel of ker-
Osene to supply population of 1900 peO-
pie with fuel and light. At other points
equally remote from timber and coal. the
supplies have given out entirely. The
Knights of Labor at Sedalia are divided,
and it is expected something will take place
to-day to see which leader they will follow,
Powderly or Irons. Stirring events may
shortly be expected. The Knights of Mar
shall, Tex, are aggressive and nave no idea
OF Yielding The news OF the termination
of the strike at Kansas City has infused
considerable confidence in the minds of The
railroad officials in Chicago. Freight of all
kinds is now accepted by all the roads for
Kansas City and points beyond.
NO MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
The statement, which appears to have
gained circulation outside Of the city that
the militia has been called out is entirely
unfounded. No call has been made, and
the small guard at the armory is maintained
there by regimental officers merely as a
precautionary measure to protect the pri-
rate property and the arms and ammunition
stored in the building from possible depre-
iatiOn.
ANOTHER COLLISION.
Eastern roads will announce in the morn
NY JildC lnes VIII move trains as usual, ana
that they will take ali the freight offered.
Reports which have got abroad that Vice
President HoXie, General Superintendent
Kerrigan or any other Missouri Pacific of
fetal has been shot, killed or assaulted in
any way are utterly unfounded. The
GlObe-DemOcrats special from Pacific.
Mo-, forty miles west of here, says
the track was obstructed with a stick
of timber about quarter of mile from
The station there this afternoon, but the
freight train which left here this morning
had no difficulty in removing it. About
half an hour later another freight train
passed through town, and when some rods
beyond the station number of strikers
attempted to board it. A shot was fired by
one of the train guards and this was fol
lowed by a volley. The strikers then re
sponded and some forty shots were free
and great excitement was created, bu
nobody was injured. The company's prop
erty there is being guarded by the sheriff
tonight,
