ty, Mies, a lawless band of persons
rode to tho court house and then and

whereas, it is alleged that the gov

aad whereas, it is alleged mat the
grand jury in and fer said county of
Carroll has neglected to act in such

.“cannot he: ntfr’alned by tlx 111 os re
here It! New York. All'hp details
of ilio settlement of the strike must
be Initiated ami crrariged in S' Louis.
The whole thing is In ttie hand) of
General Manager Hoxie, and Ihere Is
no disposition on the part of the
board of directors to interfere with
any plan whieh he may
•decide on. Tlmte ih not the slightest
luteulion on my part to recede fiotn
the position I haveso far mainta! d;
that is, I slniil not accept the plan
proposed by Powderly I shall ap
point no arbitrators If thare is to
be arbitration, to which, as telea
graphed Hoxie, I have not the slight
est objdction, such arbitration must
lie arranged for at 8 L >uK and with
G-neral Manager Hutle. Hu is In
control an I knows the situa ion per*
feeily. Any settlement that tie may
make will meet with the approval of
the dir- c'ors of the company.”

for arbt’ration, which will includs
both sides of the question, I will
make no ohjeotion, but the whole
matter will have to be arranged witti

Th* rilllbmlerl** F*rljr.
Key West, Fla, March 29 —All tho
alleged ttUbusters, captured In the
steamer City of Mexico, which wat
brought here by the United H.ates
steamer Galena, were to-day released,
excepting Gen Delgardo and Colonel
Morey, who were held by Judge Locke
under $2500 bonds each, lo appear for
trial in New York tbo first day in May.
It is generally supposed that If tho
ship’s case had been tried first, all
wiald have been oleired, but that
conrt having allowed the gov
ernment tilteen days In which
to take the testimony In New
York, it would In a iueature have
pri ludlcad the oasa If ‘lieae prisoners
had been released. The Judge oo-
knoledged there wa* no strong evi
dence against them aud atated chat If
It were a final trial or if he were tb®
Jurymen he wonld not find them guil
ty under any preaanf teatincony end bo
thooght there might be auffloiont su»-
piolor. of probable osuse to oommU.
