ALEX ANDRlA
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10.

DuR1sG THE debate on the army appro'
n,iatioo bill in the U. S. House of Repre-
septatives last Saturday, Mr.. Randall said
tba. "science had 80 advanced that had the
Last forti6cation bill become q law the money
vould nave been absolutely wasted. For
twanty wears we had waited for the Ord
nance Department to make s gun that they
dare ire. We should invite private manu-
aciurers to CO operate in the supply OF the
necessary guns. Why not invite them to
supply ten, twelve or sixteen inch guns un'
der specified conditions? The government
could rot make gun of fourteen, sixteen or
twenty inch calibre, yet private firms stood
ready to furnish them" In these words
there is solid chunk of wisdom. The truer
and better plan of democratic government
would be to abolish all the government
workshops, which are run at great expense
and chiefly for the benefit of the party in
power, and put out the work at contract.
U der the present system the government
is competitor of the private manufacturers
of the country, and while depriving the lat
ter of work that legitimately belongs to
them. has inferior work done ct greatly in
creased cost. The less the government has
to do with any thing its private citizens
can do, the better for it and for them also.

At Various Points.

DENVER, Feb. 2S.-The strike of the
Burlington engineers at this point as.
sumed no new aspect to-day. No trains
have departed, neither has any arrived
from the East since 10 O'Clock last night.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Feb. 28.-Burling-
ton passenger trains are arriving aud de-
parting from this point as usual but from
one to three hours behind time. The
striking engineers and iremen are still
confident of success and claim that other
Western roads will take part in the strike
if necessary to bring about a victory for
those now out. All is quiet here at pres
ent and there are no indications of VIC
lence.
QUINCY, ILL.,, Feb. 2S.-The situation
at Quincy regarding the strike is practi-
cally unchanged to day. At the depot
and in the railroad yards 200 or 800 men
and boys have been assembled all day, but
a large force Of police has been on duty
and no violence OF any kind has been at
tempted. The local Brotherhood of En-
gineers has appointed committees to see
that no unlawful acts are committed and
the engineers themselves have kept away
from the depot and round house.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2S.-Therc are really
no new developments in the Burlington
strike to-day and very little has been
done in the yards. The strikers are quiet
and confident and ridicule the assertion
that the company is securing any number
of competent men. No freight of any
nature is being moved here. Informa-
ton from Atchison, Kas., and Hannibal,
Mo-, state that the company made but
poor Roadway with trains to-day.
PoTTsVILLE, Pa, Feb. 27.-About sew
enty five displaced engineers and tiremen
of the Reading railroad were recruited
here yesterday for the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy. They are in communica-
ton with Manager Stone and in momen-
tary expectation of orders to start. The
men are all experienced r%ailrOaders and
Knights of Labor.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 28.-The tie-up
on the Burlington system is as complete
here to-day as it was yesterday. The
company has succeeded in sending out
passenger trains manned with green
hands, but they have all been more or
less delayed in departing and as a result
only a handful of passengers have board
ed any of the outgoing trains. The
freight business is completely blockaded
and is much worse than the passenger
traffic.
PoTTsvILLE, Feb. ga squad of
twenty five engineers and firemen recruit
ed from the late Reading strikers, left this
city to take service with the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad. Another
detachment numbering seventy will leave
on the first train tomorrow morning, all
having this evening received %transporta-
ton through to Chicago,
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ga number
of engineers and fremen went West on
the Pennsylvania road tonight, presum.
ably to go to work for the Burlington.
Among them were Bernard Sharkey,
James Gleason and Frank McGill, mem
bers of Reading strikers committee.
They said they were acting Individually
and that more men will follow to morrow

PowderIy Expresses Himself.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-A letter
from General Master Workman Powderly
was given to the Associated Press at
Scranton discovering, in which he says:
Il have been asked what my opinion is
concerning the strike of the engineers on
the Burlington system; an expression of
opinion is requested as to whether [ fav-
ored the Knights of Labor taking the
places of Brotherhood men. l do not
know the particulars of the strike in dues-
ton, but it it is true that the men are
making an effort to do away with the
European custom of grading men up and
down regardless of merit, then they are
right for making a fight for equality.
My opinion of a man who takes the place
of another struggling for his rights is that
he deserves the contempt and scorn of
every man who love Justice.
ut is true that members of the broth
erhood have on repeated occasions taken
the places Of members of the Knights of
Labor, but the merits of the various cases
have nothing to do with the principle of
honor involved in all of them. 1t is to
the eternal shame of brotherhood men
that they STOPPED to such acts of mean
ness and treacherous, unmanly conduct.
A man who takes the place of another
when that other engages in a struggle
with a corporation is a scab, whether he
be a member of the Knights of Labor or
of the Brotherhood of Engineers"

Am Old Confederate Dead.

NORFOLK, VA, Feb. 2S.-Commodore
Samuel Barron OF the late confederate
states navy died at his residence in Essex
county Sunday, in his SOth year.
Barron at the early age of 3 years was
appointed a midshipman by the secretary
of the navy, and this appointment is the
only one of the kind ever made in the
United States navy. At the G of S
years he made his first cruise and from
that time on, until the breaking out of the
late wal he served almost continuously
and rose to the rank Of post captain. At
the breaking out of the war, Barron
rendered his resignation to the United
States and entered the service of the
confederate government. He had charge
OF the purchase Of cruisers for the
confederacy at London and Paris during
the closing years of the war.

THE TIE-UP.
But Few Trains Moving on the
Whole System.
The Strikers Confident of
Success.
New Men Being Brought From
the East.
THE TlE-UP.
The Great Strike.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Only five subur.
ban trains on the Burlington road
came in this morning, and one pulled
out. Thus far five old engineers are re-
ported loyal TO the company. The
brotherhood has expelled all recreant en-.
gineers. New men are being distributed
along the line. The fast mail which left
at 3 o'clock yesterday has not yet been
heard from. A profound quiet prevails
about the yards and roundhouses. AT
the big freight house a notice was posted
that no freight would be received to-day.
The officials of the road, however, have
asked for a detail of police to protect a
freight train to be made up and run out
to-day.
The third accident on the road since
the Inauguration of the strike occurred
early this morning at the crossing of the
Burlington and the st. Paul reads, neal
Fulton junction. The engine, mail and
express cars of the st. Paul train were de-
molished and two men reported fatally in.
jured, and n seriously hurt. The blame
for the accident was laid to the green
hand on the Burlington engine.
Over 100 engineers to take the places OF
strikers on the Burlington system were
secured in New York to-day. The over
land fast mail left Chicago on time at 3 a.
m. this morning. Brotherhood engineers
declined to take it, but did not interfere
with getting the train out.
The officials of the Burlington road
state that applications for positions as en-
%giueers and firemen are coming in con,
stantly from all over the country, but as
the company does not accept anybody
except after a rigid examination the pro
cess of hiring men is slow and consequent
ly they do not expect to be in running
order for at least ten days. About fifty
men have been selected.
A formal notice was issued this after,
noon to the striking engineers and firemen
that unless they report for duty by noon
tomorrow they will be considered out OF
the cumpany's employ.
This evening rumors of a compromise
began to fly about. 1t was said that rep
resentatives of neighboring roads fearing
a strike on their own lines had asked
Chief Arthur to negotiate further, and
business men were said to be anxious to
arbitrate the differences. Chief Arthur
and Grand Master Sargent said hat no
offers would emanate from them. He
also denied that any proposition of a
compromise or arbitration had reached
them.

Bill Lykins' Luck.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-Mrs. w.
King Of this city, formerly Julia A. Ly-
kins, has received a notice from the exec
utors of the estate of Isaac p. Lykins, q
miser, who died near Pottsville, Pa, in
in 1864, possessed of a fortune over a
million dollars, that the estate has been
settled and her share is awaiting the
proof of her claim.
Mrs. King is the wife of the night
clerk at the calaboose. She is one Of a
family of eight children, one of whom is
dead. The remaining seven are located
as follows Julia A. King, st. Joseph 4;
John Lykins, Buchanan county Emma
Symons and John Lykins, Andrew
county Samuel Lykins, Denver. Colo. ;
VIM. G. Lykins, Cheyenne, Wy. Her
father, Claytorn B. Lyhins, was one of a
family of six children, and was a nephew
of Isaac Peter Lykins, who died without
issue.
Mrs. King says her uncle was a misan.
thrope, and moved to Schuylkill county,
Penn, settling on a farm near Pottsville,
which at that time was sparsely settled, in
order to isolate himself from ~acquaint-
ances and relatives. A valuable coal
mine was subsequently discovered on the
land, and the would-be hermit found
himself suddenly rich. On his death, in
1864, nc will could be found and the per-
sonal property, which was converted into
money amounting to 81, $50, 900, was
placed in the Pennsylvania state treasury,
until the heirs at law could give proof of
their claims.
A number of the heirs living in Vir-
ginia have received their share of the es
tate, but the heirs who reside in the West
have never made themselves known, and
no one interested themselves IN the case
until an attorney in this city accident
ally came in possession of the facts in the
case.

rhe Search for the Dead.

VALLEJO, Cal, Feb. GA number of
parties to day resumed the search for the
bodies OF the victims OF yesterdays explo.
sion on the ferry steamer Julia, but no
more bodies were recovered during the
morning. Fifteen had been recovered at
a late hour last night and many more are
known to have been killed, and it is be-
lieved that between fifteen aud twenty
more bodies will be found in the wreck
when the steamer is raised. Wreckers
were at work to-day and it is thought
that the Julia will be brought to the sur
face to night.
Divers went down to-day and made n
careful inspection of the wreck. They
found the port boiler blown overheard and
the starboard boiler torn apart. The
boilers are of the locomotive type, con
tanning two fire boxes each. The rupture
occurred at the end of the taner purse.
The fire box end was turned upside down
and thrown forward, the bottom straining
against the oil tanks. These are forced
out of place, but not ruptured. The oil
still remains in the tanks, showing that
they did not explode. Government boiler
inspectors arrived from San Francisco to.
day and will make an official inspection as
the vessel is raised.

to be ~impeached. The president had no
business catching the ears of senators be-
fore the bill was presented to him.
Senator Blackburn said that he depre-
Gated the violation Of that very proper
rule which prohibited a senator or repre-
sentative from undertaking to influence
legislative action by any reference to the
presumed course of the executive. He
had heard hat rule violated by three SEN
ators, Davis, Manderson. and Blair. These
senators had all said that the bill had to
be framed and fashioned to avoid a veto
message at the hands of the executive.
He did not know what authority they had
for the statement, but he did know that
there was but one political organization in
the country to day which was in perfect
order, ready to take the field with
a knapsack packed, and all things
ready. 1t vas not the Democratic party.
Flushed with its recent victory, it had lost
something of its realization and of the
appreciation of the necessity for it. L.
was not the Republican party, crushed by
its long expected and well earned defeat.
Its disintegation had made it anything ex-
cept an efficient organized body. 1t was
the Grand Army of the Republic, which
represented the only efficiently organized
political system on the continent to-day.
The senator from Nebraska, who so aptly
championed the bill had told the senate
and the country that the bill was a de-
mand made by the G. A. R., and had
protested substantially against any mater
ial amendment of it-because that organ
ization had formulated-what? Not its
petition to the American congress, but its
demand in the American congress for
legislation in which las his colleague
had said it was itself to
be the beneficiary. If the
senator from Nebraska was
to be accepted as authority the bill was
not a petition but a demand sent to con-
gress by the great and well organized and
perfectly systemetised political agency
that proposed to remove the trouble which
environed both houses, to do away with
revenue bills and tariff revisions and aboli-
tons Of the internal revenue taxation, and
to dispose of the treasury surplus by
such bills as this, and that was to be the
only practical solution to be offered by the
Republican party for the financial difficult
ties in which the country was involved.
After some remarks by Henderson and
Blair, Blackburn went on to say that it
was not to be wondered at if those sena-
tors in their zeal should Undertake to
warn the SUPERFICIAL Of the land against
the disloyal policy of the loyal executive.
If those senators were unwilling to sub
nit the bill for the determination of an
American congress, but insisted hat it
should go through in a stereotyped form
(after a p~ro-crustean fashion) because the
G. A. r. so decreed it, and if they meant
to dispose of the surplus in the treasury
in that way and no other they should be
frank enough to face the issue and go to
the country upon it.
After further debate by Teller, Hoar,
Blackburn. Blair and Henderson, the bill
went over without action and the senate
proceeded to executive business and
adjourned.
