GOULD TO BE BoYCOTTED,
And the southwestern knights 70 b.
supported by the Order.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Regarding the
threatened boycott of Jay Gould by the
Central Labor union, Robert BIissert the
labor agitator. said Yesterday:
Just as John Browns death was the first
death in the rebellion, so the death of these
innocent people in East st. Louis are the first
in the new rebellion that 10 sure to come
Negro slavery had TO go after John Brown
died. White slavery has to go, and go it will
We won't burn down Gould's house, forlabor
built it. We must build rather than DESTROY
But the boycott is weapon more silent and
more effective than fire, and we shall see If
Gould can withstand it. The strikers are
going to be well supported by US. At the
clothes cutters meeting on Saturday each
man was assessed 81 week for them, and
we have 1,500 members. I think the man
who would have proposed an assessment Of
less than 81 would have been thrown out of
the window. The st. Louis men are not fight
ing for themselves only, but for us, and we
owe it to them to support them and theirs,
though we go hungry.
Jay Gould was asked if he had discoy-
cred in what way the members of the
Central Labor union proposed to boycott
him. Hereplied that he had not, and con-
feSsed that he was rather curious to know.
Looking down at his clothes he remarked:
1 have worn this suit two winters, and I
guess can get along with it awhile longer If
the tailors boycott me. Then, you know,
raise almost everything eat on my place at
IrvinQton, so needn't be alarmed about get

SECRETS AND FISHERIES.
The Former Discussed and the Lat
ter Acted Upon by the Senate.

WASHINGTON. April 13.-In the senate
Mr.. Platt took the floor on his resolution
relating to open executive sessions. He
thought it the most important question of
administrative reform to which the senate
could at this time devote its attention.
Public sentiment now demanded that the
doors should be opened, as rule, for the
consideration of executive nominations.
The objection that it was against custom
was no argument He believed with Mr..
Sherman, who said: There ought to be
no secrets whatever in this government of
ours, a government of the people," The
people were demanding of senators
that secrecy should not be OBJ
served by the senate Just as senators
were demanding that the president observe
no secrecy. There was no proper ground for
secrecy in the mere question of convenience
TO senators. Did not justice, decency and
fair play demand that we say of man
openly whatever we had to say of him. and
not wait till the senate doors were closed?
1t was time two words were obsolete.
These words were
''PRERoGATIvE" AND PRIVILEGE"
and there were two other words, ''patrun-
age" and ''perquisites," which the people
want to have go. This was no place TO as
sert prerogatives. OF the $4,000 news
papers of the country at least 10. 900 had
declared for open sessions, and the press
represented the sentiment of the people. If
the doors of the senate were open, senators
would not be subjected to the suspicion of
bargains among one another arising from
considerations of senatorial courtesy. We
had better, he said, have everything that
was said by senators, said in the session, so
that it could be published unmixed
with the imaginations of the reporters. Mr..
Butler obtained consent to address the SEN
ate after morning business tomorrow on
the subject of open executive sessions. Mr..
Logan said he desired to follow Mr.. Butler.
On motion of Mr.. Butler u house bill was
passed authorizing the secretary of war to
deliver to the lawful owners, on proper
proof, certain classes of property captured
in the late war, consisting Of family heir
looms, silverware. watches. etc. The fish
cries resolution was then placed before the
senate. Mr. Frye said the secretary of

sition on the subject that our fishing yes
sells have the right to all ordinary CONNER
cial privileges in friendly ports. Mr. Nor
gan said there was no occasion for any
discussion. The senate was arguing on a
state of things
WHOLLY IMAGINARY.
Mr.. Evarts said the matter of buying ice
and bait rested wholly on a commercial
basis. Mr.. Frye's resolution was then
brought TO a vote and agreed tO-yeas 35,
nays 10. OF the affirmative votes 90 were
Republican and Democratic, the Demo-

rell, Coke, Colquitt, Eustis, Gray, Pugh,
Vance. Voorhees, and Walthall. A number
of pairs with absent senators were an
nOunced. The resolution declares it to be
the sense of the senate that congress should
not provide for any joint comission to con-
slider and settle the fisheries question. The
interstate commerce bill was then placed
before the senate in order that il may have
right OF way at o'clock tomorrow. After
an executive session, the senate adjourned.

Mr.. Dyson, being asked if he did not think
that the possession of two wives at one time
on the principle entertained. as alleged by
Mr.. Bartlett. was an unwholesome Christian

A DAY OF QUIET.
With More Trains Running Than
Any Previous Day.

ST. LOUIS, April 1S.-The report that
Vice President HOxie has been boycotted
by the butcher, baker and other trades peo-
pie who furnished his family with household
supplies, is contradicted by Mrs. Hoxie, who
was seen at her residence to-day and denied
the story. Reports from all the mines in
this vicinity show that no strike is in exist
ence or has been ordered. Most of the East
st. Louis roads now have full crews of
switch and yardmen. The bridge COM
pany is now doing business almost as
large as before the strike. No disturbance
occurred last night. The inquest in East
ST. Louis is still going on, James Scollard,
wounded on Friday, died last night.
Three other persons wounded on
Friday are not expected to
live. Grand Master Sargent of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen said the
fremen's grievances had all been redressed,
and no strike would occur. The master car
builder at Sedalia says he has all the men
he needs at present. and that his depart
ment is equally well supplied at Parsons
and Hannibal. Martin Irons was at Deni-
son, Tex, last night conferring with the
knights there.

death from bullet fired by some unknown
person among posse of men composed of
deputy sheriffS, trackmen and clerks on the

The East st. Louis inquest also terminated
this evening, and the jury found a verdict
that the victims of the shooting on Friday

inflicted by pistols or rifles in the hands of
certain deputy sheriffs, mentioning their
names, and holding them jointly RESPONSE

ARTHUR VERY ILL.
And Prospects Point TO His Early
Death.

CLEVELAND. o., April 13.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Leader tele-
graphs tonight that friend of ex-Presi-
dent Arthur, who knows whereof he
speaks, informs him that the ex-president
is in much worse condition physically
than the dispatches from New York indi-
cate. The gentleman says:
There is no doubt at all that he has
Bright's disease, and his end is only matter
of very little time. He may rally little,
but we do not credit reports that he will be
able to take trip to Europe or anything of
that sort. You know that he overworked
himself in the White house. He kept very
late hours, usually retiring long after mid
night, and was irregular about his
meals, apparently caring nothing about
his health. His desire was to keep up with
the work of his Office and entertain his friends
after night. Such lite would not fail to
have its effect upon the strongest constitu-
tlon, and, although Gen. Arthur entered the
White house in almost perfect physical con-
dition, he passed many hours of suffering be-
fore he left it. 1 cannot regard his recovery
with anything but feeling of doubt.
