of Denver, chairman of the western execu-
tive committee of the Knights of Labor,
with seven delegates from the Western
divisions of the Union Pacific railway, held
q conference yesterday with General Man
ager Galloway and General Superintendent
Smith of the Union Pacific, but the definite
character and result Of the conference could
not be obtained, as all declined to be inter

the question whether he anticipated strike

system of wages: ''No; we do not. The
conference has been pleasant and satisfac-
tory to all" 1t is said here that the
Knights of Labor are to enter upon an anti
Chinese campaign, and that the real object
Of the committees visit was to see the of
ficials regarding the employment of Chinese.
No information could be cleaned from
either side, however, in reference to the
matter.

THE HOUSE IN GREEN.
Members Very Generally Don the
Patriotic Emblem.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-About one
third of the members of the house wore the
green to-day in honor of st. Patrick. At
first only half dozen. who are of Irish
birth or descent, appeared on the floor with
the patriotic emblem of their race upon the
lappelS of their coats. but later in the
day Representative Tim Campbell of
New York laid upon his desk, on the
front row of the middle aisle, large paper
bundle of geranium leaves and green sprigs,
from which members who chose to do so
supplied themselves. At times there were
groups of eight or ten standing around
joking. laughing, and lingering over the
pile Of greens, which quite covered the top
OF the desk. 4 Georgia Democrat seized a
large bunch of geranium leaves and thrust
them in the buttonhole of Reed of Maine,
and that fat and jolly DowneaSter strobe
down the isle shaking all over with laughter
while he silly took the leaves from his own
coat and adorned another congressman with
with them. Mr.. Brady OF Virginia stood
up at his desk while the speaker was calling
the committees for reports, and clipped
hundred or more pieces from a roll of mar
row green ribbon. which We're afterward
distributed among the members.

WOMAN'S DRESS.
Mrs. Stanton Writes Miss Cleveland
Pertinent Letter.

Special to the Globe.
TRENTON, \. j., March 17.-Elizabeth
Cady Stanton has written from Tenafy,
n. j., an open letter to Miss Cleveland,
desiring her, in view of her exalted posi-
ton as first lady of the land, TO
lead reform to check the present
tendency OF woman TO dress immOdestly
Mrs. Stanton submits three propositions:
First-Who starts new fashions. and what
is their significance? Second-What is
their relation to health. comfort, conven-
ience and beauty? Third-What is their
effect on the morals of the individual and
society? Considering the question of health
as relating to low corsage, she thinks that
if the ladies cannot reconcile themselves to
such stringent measures as draping all their
charms, the display of the lower limbs
would be less injurious, as none of
the vital organs are located in
that part of the human frame.
She asserts that our fashions come mainly
from the courtesans Of France. whose chief
study is to play on the passions of men,
and all dressing is with that
view. ''Our innocent girls" she
says, mistake the example
OF this class of women without understand
ing the philosophy on which their fashions
are based" Mrs. Stanton appeals to Miss
Cleveland to give TO her country women an
exhaustive essay on the subject

tion which ne then addressed to the COM
missioner. asking whether he could produce
the names and numbers in any claims
which had been allowed or rejected by his
predecessors on account of the politics of
the claimant. He asked if the commits
sloner was now prepared to give the infor-
nation. The commissioner replied. in sub
stance, that he would be able to give the
committee abundance of evidence in support
OF the allegations made in his report. but he
preferred to do it from the files of the Office.
Information had come to him from a great
many sources, from aftidavits made by
claimants, which had gone into the files Of
the Office and otherwise. which had led him
to the conclusions stated in his report. He
had examined the files to ascertain the ex-
tent but he had gathered general know

The House Discusses Indians.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-After the dis
position of minor matters, the house went
into committee of the whole on the Indian

ing the debate, said the history of our In

tees. The education of the Indian race in
America. he said, was the solution of the
Indian problem, and it was the only solu-
ton. The country was on the right track,

moving all the obstacles which now exist TO
a reunion of the free church and United

opposition to this measure, and in this they
receive the assistance Of the PameiiiteS.

GRENADA, Miss, March 17.-News of a
terrible tragedy. enacted at CarrolltOn, an
interior town twenty-fOur miles southwest
of here, was received here this evening.
Fifty men rode into the town and repaired
10 the court house, where thirteen negroes
Were waiting for their trial to commence.
The white men walked into the courtroom,
shot ten negroes dead and morIally wounded
the other three. The shooting grew out OF
the attempted assassination of James
Liddel, a prominent citizen, who was
shot and seriously wounded Dy
these negroes several weeks ago.
The negroes engaged in this daStaTdly at
tempt are known 10 be the most defiant and
lawleSS in the county, and since the at
tempt on Mr.. Liddelfs life have been more
openly defiant than ever. For some rea-
son not known they swore out a warrant a
few days ago for Mr.. Liddelfs arrest. Ii
was at this trial to-day that the killing oc-
CURED. The negroes present were mostly
armed. About o'clock a party of armed
men, some forty or fifty, rode up TO the
court house. They diSmounted, and, enter

killing ten negroes and wounding
three others so that they died
soon after, and with the exception of a few
who escaped through a window, all the
other negroes in the building were
wounded. some of them seriously. The
trouble between Liddell and the negroes oc-

afterward heard the crowd cursing him.
He walked up TO them and inquired why
they We're abusing him. An alteration

THE GREAT STRIKE STILL ON.
Southwestern Troubles Remain About
as Two Weeks Ago.
The Maxwell Strike Ended by Mutual
Concessions.
Thirteenth nay of the strike

Thirteenth Day Of the Strike.
ST.. LOUIS, March 1.-THE thirteenth
day of the strike on the Gould system opens
with as little hope Of speedy resumption of
freight traffic as ever. Suburban passenger
traffic has been partially re-eStablished with
the aid of policemen and deputy sheriffs,
whose presence on the trains prevents the
Knights of Labor from influencing the
engineers to leave their trains, and the effort
will, it is expected, be made to-day to run
out all the suburban trains on their schedule
time. Vice President HoXies reply to
Martin Irons inclineS many to the belief
that the company will attempt no settle
ment with the strikers as body, but it will
wait until the number of new men en-
plOyed on the lines shall be sufficient to
carry on its business. Should this prove to
be true ii is understood by the Knights OF
Labor here that the order which called those
out who are now striking will be followed
by one which will cause every member en-
ployed upon the Gould roads and their
Southwestern connections to cease work.
The situation, so far as the East ST. Louis
switchmen are concerned, remains un-
changed. The men are at work rs usual
this morning, and it is understood that
their grievances will be redreSSed without re-
sort to a strike.
POwDERLY To TAKE A HAND.
POwderly, grand master workman of the
Knights of Labor, passed through this city
tonight on his way to Kansas City to meet
and confer with delegates from the five dis
trict assemblies which embrace the entire
Missouri Pacific system in regard to the
strike on that system. He would not talk
about the strike during the few minutes he
was here, but expressed considerable sur
prise that Vice President HOxie declined to
confer with a committee of Knights 1t
was expected that z. NJ. Arthur, chief en-
gineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. would alTo arrive here to-
night en- route to Sedalia, but as far as is
known he did not come.
