ST.. LOUIS, March 21-The Pan-EIeetrio
telephone system is in this city, and the re-
cent decision by the supreme court of the
United States has caused some Uneaslness
among the subscribers. That feeling was
augmented to-day when several subscribers
received in this mornings mail a notice
from the attorney of the Bell Telephone
company demanding that all other than
Bell instruments be put out Of service, and
IN case of refusal they threaten
to bring suit. The officers of the Pan
Electric c 1mpany were likewise uneasy, but
wore a bold front, and lively meeting Of
the directors was held this afternoon. Vice
President Terry said the Bell people made
no threats of suit, and thought the case
would be amicably settled. He did
not think they would interfere
with their subscribers. He declared the
case was not settled yet by long odds. Mr..
Terry, who is prominent lawyer. is at the
head of the Pan-Electric Telephone.cOmpany
here, and says that there will be no retreat
ing IN the face of the enemy. He puts great
stress on the TaCt that the court decided the
case by q majority of one, and that Justice
Lamar did not set in the case.

The BIaIock Randits.

COLUMBUS, KAN, March 21.-The cor
oner's jury IN the case of David Gordon has
completed its work. A yer lot of willfuI
murder by William and Jonathan BlalOck
was brought in. Constable Jordan was
assassinated by the accused Friday night
last. The Gulf depot had been broken open
Thursday night, and he was watching a
house where the stolen goods were supposed
to be secretsd. The next day Miss Clara
BlalOck, a teacher of one of tire city schools,
confessed to the authorities that her two
brothers did the killing. They we're arrested
and made a full confession of their multi
tud nous crimes. They have been connected
for years with a gang of horse thieves which
extends from Kansas City to Arkansas,
Texas and Colorado. Their crimes include
bling mails, blowing open safes, sandbag-
cling and murder. Fifteen arrests have
already been made and information has
been telegraphed that will lead to the arrest
of as many more.
Miss Clara BIalOck graduated last year at
a high school and made a successful teacher,
yet she was secretary of an organized gang
of horse thieves, crooks and burglars. A
family of ten persons by the name of Frye
were the principal accessories and their
cousins by the name of Ally. a search
warrant brought stolen goods md bushels
of criminal C rrespcu6euce to light and q
promise of immunity for Clara and her
mother brought out the confession.

STRAUsBURG, March 19.-The following
proclamation was issued to-day:
''Our beloved father, his majesty Emperor
William, having departed this life in
accordance with Gods decree, the imperial
dignity, together with the laws OF the en-
pire and the government of the Relchsland
has deVOIYsd on Us. We have
talked It over in the name
of the emperor, and have determine
to protect it over the German territories re-
united to the ia herlznd after long inter
val. We are conscious OF our duty to cult
vate IN the Reichsland German sentiment
and customs. to protect right and justice
and to promote the welfare ana prosperity
OF the inhabitants. In our endeaVOr5
to do Justice to the task we
count upon the confidence and devotion
of the people and the faithful full6lIment Of
the duties by the authorities. We demand
and expect a conscientious observance OF
the laws, and at the same time we shall do
our part to extend imperial protection to the
rights of all by means Of an i'm
partial administration of justice
and a benevolent government con-
Quoted circumspectly but with a firm
hand. The union of Alsace and Lorraine
which a lapse of years cannot impair again
becomes as Intimate as 1t was IN the time Of
our ancestors, before these German lands
we're so severed from the ancient and
glorious union Of their kindred cOuntrymen.

INDIE Dundr,s Decision.

OMAHA, March I7.-Judge Dundy, Of the
United States district court, to-day rem
dered his decision in the Injunction suit
brought by the Burlington road against the
Union Pacific company and the engineers
in their employ to prevent them from refus-
ing to receive or transport Burlington
freight. In substance, the court holds the
engineers on the Union Pacific have the
right to quit work whenever they please, but
they have not the right to enter
into a conspiracy, and by concerted
action suddenly leave the Union
Pacific without engineers and fremen, when
the purpose of that conspiracy Is to prevent
the Union Pacific road from exchange 2
freight with the Burlington, as by ths inter
state commerce law 1t is requested to do.
Nor have the engineers the right to refuse to
pull Burlington cars, and such refusal would
subject them to imprisonment. The Union
Pacific is the creation of congress, and con
gress has distinctly enacted that its Off
GERS, agents and operators must
at all times exchange with and handle
the freight of certain intersecting lines,
among them the Burlington g Missouri
River, and has made a refusal a INSIDE
meanOr} punishable by a fine of not less than
81, 600 and imprisonment for not less than
six months on conviction. The interstate
commerce law reiterates, in effect for all
roads, the Union Pacific among them,
prescribed as the clearly defined duties of
the Union Pacific in 1874.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March 17.-Dehnite
news Of the damage done among the oyster
fleets on the lower Chesapeake is beginning
to come in. There was great destruction Of
vessel property and loss of life. In Anna.
messez river, an arm Of the bay, an IN
known schooner was sighted Monday in dis
tress by a revenue cutter. She had flying a
signal of distress. She had crew of five
or six men. The cutter attempted to reach
the schooner, but could not do so on account
of the prevailing hurricane. Other unsuc-
cessfuI attempts were made during Tuesday
and the vessel was finally reached Wednes-
day. Her crew had been overcome by hunger
and cold. They were found frozen stiff and
dead. There are a number of sunken boats
in Muddy creek, a branch of the river, and a
number of dredgers persisted.
Il. ID. LudlngtOn and three men from the
slOOp '.Allen Bird were saved by Bleaching
their boat in Annam6seX river. They were
anchored about two miles from Ford's
Landing during the storm. Several sChoCn-
ers and pungles were around them. The
schooner Fox dragged both her anchors, but
was not wrecked. The schooner Eastern
Light fOundsred and four of her crew were
lost. Monday a hungarian boy of tbs
Puugy Molly was drowned. Of the schooner
Joseph Allen, mean by, four were lost and
three rescued. 1t is impossible now TO
upon the Chesapeake, as it will be
a week before returns can be gathered from
the data at hand. Between 100 and 200 Vss-
sells were either cast ashore, caDsized or
sunk. From thirty to forty were wrecked,
and from twenty to thirty people were
drowned. Most of the boats were sIOops and
oyster and fish schOOners. The damage will
run far up into the thousands. The inun-
datiOn of the low lands of the Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia peninsula caused
great loss. On the eastern shore of Vir-
ginia the people were obliged to live In at
tics without fire or food, and in one region
vessels were carried over 500 feet inland,
where receding tides have left them high
and dry. Specials last night from Girls
field report the rescuing of five men from a
laundering shOoner. They were in the rig
ging over fOrty-eight hours, and shortly
after they were taken of one OF them died.
The condition of the others is serious.

Strike NewB

CHICAGO, March % General Manager
Stone, of the Burlington road, telegraphed
his eastern agents yesterday mstructing
them to send no more engineers or hremens
under any circumstances. The raising OF
the snow blockade has resulted IN q rush of
engineers that has surpassed anything since
the strike. Thursday SO3 crews had been
engaged and Saturday the number had in
creased to 9IS. Including those now on the
way from eastern states and Canada, the
grand total is over 1000 crews. 1t Is be-
heVed that hundred more have been en-
gagged, but the agents are instructed not to
send them. The Central Iowa telegraphed
to the "Q' for men yesterday and arrange
ments will be made to supply them with the
overflow.
NO APPEARANCE OF A STRIKE.
KANSAS CITY, March 2O.-The situation at
the union depot this morning presents no
appearance Of q strike. The Santa Ee Is
getting ali of its trains Out on time. and The
accumulation of freight IN the yards Is be-
ing so greatly reduced that the Othials of
the company Will be ready to receive all
business by this morning. Six freight trains
carrying l46 cars went out this morning.
CLOSED THEIR RECRUITING OFFICE.
New YORK, March 2O.-The Chicago, Bur
lingtOn Il Quincy railroad to-day closed the
Office in this city in which 1t has been en-
listing engineers to take the place Of the
strikers, claiming no more are wanted.
HANDLING 90 FREIGHT.
KANSAS CITY, No, March 20.-A surpris-
ing development in the situation of TIE
Burlington strike to-day was the handling
Of the boycOtted freight by all the roads but
one-the Wabash Western. The engineers
made no objection whatever, aud this cir
cumstance is partly due to the fact that the
grievance committees on some of the roads
agreed to make no objection to Burlington
freight. This amounts to a practical sur
render of one of the weapons with which the
men have been carrying on their contest, bat
they strongly deny that it is an indication
of weakening, and say 1t was merely done
as q matter OF prudence. The first freight
handled by the Santa Fe to-day was a train
of Burlington cars, and the Missouri Pacific,
the Fort Scott g Gulf and the Union Pacific
all announced their Willingness and ability
| to take care of all business offered.
