ST. LOUIS, March 24.-The Board of Dr.
rectors and Transportation Committee of
the Merchants Exchange Of this city, in a
joint meeting to-day, adopted resolutions
demanding that the strike upon the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad and the Gould South
west System of railroads, shall cease,
and as means to this end.
that the strikers upon these roads shall
either return to their former positions or
discontinue hindering those who are will

the civil and military powers OK the cities,
counties and States, and, if necessary, of
the United States, to enforce the laws to
put an end to the present deplorable con.

The Great Strike.

ST. LOUIS, March 25-The Governors of
Missouri. Arkansas, Kansas and Texas
issue proclamations relative to the rail-
road strike. The railroads are called upon
to resume traffic, and all persons are
warned against interposing any obstacle
in the way. The Governor of Missouri
pledges the whole power of the State to
carry out the purposes of his proclama-
tion. In st. Louis preparations are being
made by the militia to protect the armory
and the property of the railroad
company. Between IL a. m. and 1 p.
m. a committee of District Assembly 93,
Knights of Labor, went through all the
yards and served an order on all Knights
to quit work at p. m. This order was
coupled with a request addressed to switch
men who were not knights of Labor, ask
ing them to join their fellow-workmen and
also go out. How we'll this order was
obeyed and the request complied with was
shown when, on the sounding of the whis-
ties at 8 p. M. all the yardmen in the place
quietly walked out and left the yards de-
serted.

Proceed Slowly.

Certain California congressman late
ly waited upon Mr.. Belmont, chairman
of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, and told him that "unless some
supplementary Chinese legislation is
reported, they were afraid that serious
results may follow" Mr.. Belmont
very properly replied that he saw no
necessity for haste, but, on the con-
trary, intended to proceed very slowly.
With China already making just
claim for indemnity for the outrages
upon the Chinese IN the Northwest, the
prospect of renewal of the trouble in
California is not agreeable, but con-
tinuai concessions will not help mat
tiers. The number of the Chinese in
America has been decreasing since the
res trictiye measures were adopted, and
there is no probability of their increas-
ing in view of the insecurity of the
Chinese in the Northwest. II any
further measures are to be applied to
them, they should be adopted deliber-
ately, and meanwhile, any attempt at
a repetition of the disgraceful outbreak
in the Northwest should be summarily
put down.
If Nation supposed to be Christian
and civilized does not care to protect
for their own sakes the lives of foreign
ers living peaceably within its limits,
it should at least protect them for the
sake of the lives and property of its
own citizens residing or doing business
in the countries to which those foreign
ers belong. The United States Govern
ment can not protect its citizens in
China, and it will have to pay for
whatever ruifianism against the Chi
nese it permits.
1t is about time for the Congress of
the United States to consider this fact
carefully. The question of the exelu-
sion of Chinese immigrants is purely
economic. The question of protecting
such of them as are now in this country
is at once one of humanity and of self
interest. Before proceeding further
against the Chinese, Congress should
reflect how far it wishes to proceed
against American citizens in China,

business talent. He was the pioneer in the
auxiliary publishing business, which has
grown into such magnitude and Importance
within a little over twenty years time.
He was a public-spirited man, a man of
sterling integrity and uprightness of char

any way associated with him because of his
kind and sympathetic nature and unosten-
tatious generosity. He was ffty-four

Twelve Hundred Arrests.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-At a late hour
last night the police made a raid on sa-
looms and concert halls. 1t was at first
estimated that six hundred people were ar

officers reported to-day it was found that
between one thousand and twelve hundred
persons had been taken into custody. All
of the girls, with the exception of three,
after being held to keep the peace, were re-
leased upon payment of costs amounting
to $l.65 each. The three girls not released

Secretary Mannino's Condition.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Secretary Man
ning's physicians are not at all encouraged
to-day by the symptoms of their patient.
Among Mr.. Manning's closest friends it is
known that there is great danger of sec
ond stroke of apoplexy, or paralysis, and
all are filed with the gravest concern in
this expectation. 1t is a fact that Mr. Nam
ming was warned by his physicians some
months ago, that he was liable to stroke of
apoplexy. He conferred with the President
and desired to resign his Office. The President
begged him to remain until after the close
of the session of Congress, and meanwhile
to rest and care for himself. Mr.. Manning
consented to do so, but afterward suffered
with a severe attack of dyspepsia and in.
somnia, and again conferred with the
President, and the latter agreed to accept
his resignation or give him an indefinite
leave of absence. About this time Man
ming had turn for the better, and con-
cluded to hold on until the adjournment
of Congress. He worked too hard and took
little care Of himself, and the end came
Tuesday. The Secretary will never do any
more work in the Treasury Departm ent.
At midnight his condition was somewhat
improved.
