PARIS, April 3.-In the Chamber Of
Deputies this afternoon, Floquet road
a statement setting forth the policy
that would be pursued by the Cabinet.
He appealed to the United Republic
cans for their support, and asked them
to leave to the Government the aues-
ton of revision of the constitution.
The Ministry, he said, sincerely de.
sired the adoption of we'll considered
reforms andthe maintenance of peace.
Leve re and Lessguiller, Radicals,
will probably become Minister of Jus
tice and Minister of Public Works. re-
.spectively, to replace Rochard and
Loubet, who resigned directly after
their appointment because they dis
agreed with the other members of the
Cabinet in regard to the revision Of
the constitution. The Jounnel Dss de
Detots and Repubkquc Erancaiss
violently attack the. new Cabinet.
Clemenceau thinks the programme
OF the new Cabinet is perfect. The
Senate received the new Cabinet very
coldly. The news of the accession of
Floquet has alarmed the Vatican.

NJ strike was declared, the Chicago
end of the road was completely tied
up, engineers, firemen and switchmen
all having deserted their posts. The
cause OF this state of affairs in the
yards was the presence there of a
@" freight train, which was deliv-
cred yesterday, and the announce
ment by the Michigan Central that
they would handle all the freight de-
liver d.
M. L. Hommedieu, who with SUI
perjntendent Brown, is managing af-
fairs for the company, said: 'We in
tend to give the men as much grace
as possible. AT Z this morning Super
intendent Brown and myself we're
here to carry out the programme an
nounced yesterday, that is to see that
all cars received by the company were
handled without discrimination or
dismiss the men who refused. Just
as we were proceeding to do this a
delegation Of our road engineers en-
tered the Office at 7:05 A. M. They
had few moments previously arrived
from Jackson, Mich, where they had
been
DEPUTED BY TIE BRoTHERHoop
Men on The Michigan Central to come
here and endeavor to arrange matters
satisfactorily. They said they would at
once call a meeting of the yard
engineers who were objecting to the
handling of Burlington freight and
urge them that all action in the mat
ter be suspended. As a matter of
courtesy to our old engineers we
readily consented and they will be
given ample time of course.
"How long%'
"Well, until noon, at least"
The statement that no work was
done in the yards after seven this
morning, as explained by the Com
pany's representative, does not mean
that the Michigan Central passenger
service was interferred with. All
passenger trains this morning arrived
and departed on time as usual. The
strike was confined to the switch
engineers, tiremen and switch
men in the local freight
yards of the Company and continued
until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when
the yard employees
RETURNED TO. WORK.
Upon what terms the strike was de-
clared off they would not say. An
official of the company said theireturn
to work was conditional. II had been
decided upon in conference between
the strikers, officials OF the company
and the delegation of Brotherhood en-
gineers from Jackson, Mich. The
men were to handle all freight offered
to them, and the Burlington train,
which had caused all the commotion,
would be handled this afternoon.

INDIANS AND ENGLISH.
The President Enlightens a
Methodist Bishop.

WAsHINGToN, April 3.-President
Cleveland has written long letter te
Rev. James Marrow, D. D., of Phila-
delphia, in response 10 resolution
adopted at session of the Philadel.
phia Annual Conference of the Meth.
odist Episcopal Church, held March
%, of which the following is a syn.
3sis;
"MY DEAR SIR:-I have received
certain resolutions passed by the An
nual conference held in Philadelphia.
The action taken by this assemblage
OF Christian men has greatly sur
prised me. They declare that this
conference earnestly protests against
the recent action of the Government
in excluding the use of the native Ian :
guages in the education of
Indians, and especially the exclusion
of the Dakota Bible; that while ad-
mitting the advantage Of teaching
English to Indians, to compel them
to receive all religious instructions in
that language would practically him
der their receiving it in the most
effective way that the line of power
travels with the human heart, and
the heart of the Indian is in his
language; that the operations of all
missionary societies should be un-
trameled by State interferences."
The President quotes the rules Of
the Indian Bureau upon the subject,
ami continues:
"The Government seeks in the man.
agement of the Indians, to civilize
and prepare them for that contact with
the world which necessarily accom-
panies civilization. Nothing is more
important to the Indian from this
point of view, than the English Ian
guage. Nothing eau be more consis-
tant than the teaching Of English in
our Indian schools. 1t will not do to
permit these wards of the Nation to
become their own masters, to indulge
in their own barbarous Language be-
cause it is easier or because it pleases
them. Secular teaching is the object
Of ordinary Government schools, but
surely there can be no objection
to reading a chapter from the Bible in
English, or Dakota if English could
not be understood, at the daily open
ing of the schools. The use of he
vernacular should not be encouraged
or continued beyond the limit of such a
necessity, and the text books, the oral
instruction in general sense, and the
curriculum certainly should be in
English. The rules of the Indian
Bureau have been modified and
changed in their phraseology to meet
the views of good men who seekIto aid
the Government in it's benevolent in
tention, until it was supposed their
meaning was quite plain and their
purpose satisfactory. These rules will
be adhered to and the Government
will continue to invoke the assistance
of all Christian people and organiza-
tions in this very important and inter.
esting part of labor entrusted to it,"

Discussion OIL the DIRECT Tax
BiiI-Evening Session.
WAsHINaToN, April 3.-In the
House Culbertson called up on special
order the Senate direct Tax bill.
Foran moved that the House go i'll
Committee of the Whole on the PEN
sion appropriation bill. The motion
was lost.
Wheeler moved to reconsider the
vote on the motion Of Reed. The mo-
ton to reconsider was tabled.
The House then went into Com
mittee of the Whole for the consider
alton of the special order to take up
ike Direct Tax bill.
f. B. Taylor, of Ohio, said while
the bill was important on account OF
the money involved init, the facts Of
the case were so simple he did not
think any extended discussion neces-
sary. The bill proposed to relinquish
the amount OF direct tax uncollected,
and to provide for repayment to the
States and individuals who had paid
any Of the money. Oates, of Alabama
in opposing the bill, argued that un

BURLINGTON VS.. ROCK lsLANI
Che Burlington Denies the Alle.

cations of Its Rival.
CHICAGO, April 3.-When the Bur-
lington railway asked Judge Gresham
for an order to compel the Rock
Island to handle GO" freight, the
Rock Island answered by charging
that the present strike was simply a
part of the Burlington's programme
to force other lines into joining q
railway Crust" which the Burling-
ton was said to desire. H. B. Stone,
General Manager of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, makes answer
to the charges in an affidavit which
was filed this afternoon. The affidavit
denies in detail all charges OF the
Rock Island, which it pronounces
scandalous and false. 1t says the
rate war was initiated by the Rock
island and other lines against the
mr st earnest efforts of the Burling-
ton.
THE "TRUsT" STORY
LIS denounced as utterly false. Stone
denounces as false and reckless the
charges Of the Rock Island that the
strike was allowed In order to coerce
the Burlington's competitors into ac-
quiescence into the railway trust, and
calls attention to the "inexcusable
falsity" of the Rock Islands charge
that complainant has been in bad
faith, crowding traffic exchange on the
defendant with the purpose of dis
abling it in the operation of the Rock
Island road. Affidavits were filed
with bills of lading accompanying
several blocakaded shipments, to show
that they were all shipments made by
PRIVATE CoNsIGNoRs
And that complainant had nothing to
do with the origin orr the routing there
of. In conclusion, Mr.. stone declares
that contrary to the Rock Islands as
sertion, made in its answer, that it
was in position to resume its former
relations with complainant, no notice
has been given complainant, that the
engineers and firemen Of defendant
had given up control of its traffic de-
partment or granted permission to de-
fendant to conduct it's business as a
public carrier according to law, or
that the defendants policy Of abso-
lutte non-intercourse, az declared in
the orders and letters Of its agents,
was in any respect altered.

Trainmcn Murdered.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Eli G.. Kreigh
was shot and instantly killed, and
Dan Brasill was mortally wounded by
three unknown men at 10 o'clock to-
night. Both men were watchmen
in the employ of the Chi
cago and Alton road, and it was
their duty to accompany freight trains
TO the city limits, and protect them
from car thieves. The train they
went out ON tonight was boarded by
three men, and when they attempted
to put them off they drew their revol-
vers and began firing. Kreigh fell
dead, shot through the lungs, while
Brasill was shot through the lower
portion of the body. No arrests were
made.

AN INVESTIGATION FAvOwEr
The Committee FavOrs Inqu'r ,
into the Strikes.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The House
Commerce Committee has ordered a
favorable report on the resolution to
provide for Congressional inquiry into
the engineers strike in the West, and
has agreed to Andrews substitute to
Whites resolution providing for an
investigation OF the Chicago, Burling.
ton and Quincy Railroad strike by a
special committee Of five, to be ap-
pointed by the Speaker. The resolu-
tion declares that the locomotive
engineers now employed are incom-
petent, and that the claim of resump-
tion of public duties by the Burlington
is fraudulent pretense and a gross
imposition upon the public, placing in
imminent peril both life and property.
The committee is directed to go to the
scene OF the strike, call for witnesses
and papers, and investigate and
ascertain what is necessary in the
way of legislation to protect inter-
state commerce.
