SUMMARY OF WIiAT TRANSPIRED
DU KING THfi WUHK.
St. Lons, March 26.—Master Workman
Powderly has issued a vec*t-fc onler to the
Noble Order of the Wni^hta of Labor of
America, which has iust been rnmle public.
Powderly instructs the secretary of each
assembly to o&ll n full meetii
and read before it the kentiments whi«
follow. The address opens with an order
to the AsHcmbly to cease initiating new meiii-
bern «ntil the relations of capital and labor
shall become less strained than at present,
and continues; “To attempt to win conces
sions or gains with our present raw, undis
ciplined membership would be like hurling
an unorganized mob against a well-drilled
regular army. It is not fair to the older
Assemblies to bring in new members, pick
up their quarrels as soon as organized, and
have them expect pecuniary aid from those
who helped build the order up for a noble
purpose.”
We must not fritter away onr strength
and miss the opportunity of present
success in the struggle against capital by
lU'kiug into useless strikes. To the cardi
nal principles of the onler we must add
another day’s patience. You have patience
for years, and had not the Knights of Labor
Appeared upon the scene you would still bo
waiting. \ our scales of prices must stand
ns they are for the present if you canuot
raise them by any other process than by a
strike. You must submit to injustice at
the hands of the employer in patience for
u while longer. Hide well your time; find
out bow much yon are justly entitled to,
and then the tribunal of arbitration will
settle the rest."
Powderly cautions assemblies against
receiving into their ranks employers, and
warns the Knights of Labor that the politi
cian is planning night and day how,to catch
the Knights of Libor for the advantages of
himself and his party, and udds that to use
tlie name of the order in a political contest
is criiuinnl, nnd must not «»«■/>nr again.
Referring to the eight hour movement
the circular says: “Assemblie s of Kuights
of Labor must not strike for the eight hour
nystew on May 1st, on the impression that
they are obeying ordr rs from headquarters,
for such an order was not and will not he
given. Out of sixty millions of people in
the United States and Canada our order has
possibly, three millions. Can we mould
the sentiments of millions in favor of the
fhort hour plan before May 1st ? It is non
sense to think of it."
After speaking of the qualities which ofti-
ccrs of assemblies should possess, and ex
pecting Knights to elect honest men, of
even temperament, Powderly continues:
“While I write, adispatehU handed me in
which I read these words: ‘They discharged
our brother and we struck, for you know-
on r motto is, nn injury to one is* the con
cern of all.’ Ye^, injury to one is the con
cern of all; but it is not wise to injure all
for the sake of one. It would have been
far better to continue at work and jmjprrly
investigate the matter, btinging it before
•very known tribunal, than to have struck.”
Hpeuking of the relations between the
church and the Knights of Labor, Powderly
•»J»i “I warn onr iiunilurs against hasty,
ill-considered action. The church will rot
interfere with us so long as we maintain the
law. If the law is wroug it is our duty to
change it I am ashamed to meet with
clergymen and nthera to tell them our order
is ■ oniposed of law-abiding, intelligent men,
while the next dispatch brings newa of
•onto petty boycott or strike.”
In conclusion, the Master Workman says:
“I write this circular to lay before the ortlcr
the exact condition of things. I am neither
physically nor mentally capable of perform
ing the work required of me. I am willing
to do my part, hut not to be naked to main
tain a false position before the world any
longer. One of two things must take place:
Either the local nnd district assemblies of
the onler must obey its laws or I must lie
permitted to resign from a vocation which
oblige* mo to play one part before the
public and anothor to our members. 1
-any to the world that the Kuigbts of
Labor do not approve or encourage
strikes, and in one dav .n.-witchei conn to
_ iu. Liu. hoy, New Tfork,Manchester, New grams:
' Hampshire. Chicago, Cincinnati, w Lynch-1 “**'
-JiTtg, Va., Springfield, Ohio, and Montreal,
announcing atrikea. It in impossible for
human nature to stand tb« strain any
longer. I most hare the assistance of the
onler, or my most earnest efforts will foil.
Will I hope for it? It so strikes must bo
•voided; miyrotta must be avoided; those
who boast must lie checked by tbeir assem
blies; no move must lie uiude until the
court of lost resort has been appealed to;
threats of violence must not be
made; politicians must be hushed
up or driven out; obedience
the laws of Knighthood must
have preference over those of any other
onler. if these things are done, tue next
five years will witness the complete emunei
potion of mankind from the curse of iiono-
pol.v. lu our members we require secrecy,
obedience, fosaistonce, patience and cour

should have ordered the Kniglita back

Irevoked their charters when they
acknowledge they had no grievances. I see
Jay Gould is parading the decision of Judge
Dillon to the effect that all members of the
Knights who have property are liable for
depredations by any of their members.
Upon this supposed deebion he is about to
bring suit against every Knight along the
Missouri Pacific who owns property. I re
gard this as a bluff. The Knights of Labor
are not incorporated, andean neither sue nor
be sued. They are not liable, ex
cept individually, as any citizen. Let
me predict that they will go junt
as the coopers’ onion, the miners, machin
ists and others did. They strike, and a
strike means assessment, assessment means
death. Regarding, boycotting, 1 will say
that our organization will have nothing to
do with it. I do not believe in putting a
|$:i-a-day man in the same organization with
a $1.50-a day man, and to our isolation from
other associations we owe, our success. We
have not had a strike in eight years. I do
not believe in the eight-hour doctrine. Two
hours less work means in too many cases
two hours more loafing about tho corners
[and two hours more for drinking/'
|K<'Iianton, Va., March 20.—MasteT Work-
Mi Powderly, of tho Knights of Labor,
who has been confined to his house for
several days, owing to an accident which
he sustained last Saturday night in Bloom
ington. Ill., where he fell ami fractured two
of his ribs, was called on this afternoon by
representatives of the Associated Press,
and in reply to the question,
“Is the strike in tho south
west likely to extend? * answered: “Most
emphatically, no! Ev»ry strike must bo
confined to tho section in which it origina
ted and must be settled thereon.” When
asked what uuthotity there was for the
statement of Chairman Iron of St. Louis,
published this afternoon, to tho effect that
the t^rike would ^ probably extend
throughout tho United States and
include the Knights of Labor,|
gardluss of occupation, Powderly replied:]
“irons lias no authority whatever to make
such a statement. Thut order can only
come from the executive board. I may say
there is no dauger whatever of any such
order being issued at present where Knights
of Labor are on terms of peace with their
• mpIoyeiK. Their agreements and con
tracts must he lived up to, no matter what
may be going on in any other part
of tho country. Where no contract
or agreement exists between employers
and employed, all differences arising be
tween them must be settled through arbi
tration. This must and shall be tho last
strike undertaken without full authority
from the executive board, after having made
a thorough investigation of the caune of
trouble and exhausted every possible means
of effecting a peaceable settlement.
St. Louis, March 26.—The strikers hero
on the Wabash Road have returned to work.
They struck without kuowing what they
did it for or what to do afterwards.
Nkw York, March 28.-Conferences be
tween Jay Gould and T. V. Powderly to-day
aud this evening has resulted in orders from
each of them to the parties to the South
western strike that work and traffic be im
mediately resumed pending arbitration.
Mr. Jay Gould will to-worn «w morning
send the following telegraphic instructions
to Mr. Hoxie, General Manager of the Mis
souri Pacific railroad at St. Louis:
“In resuming the movement of trains on
the Missouri Pacific and in employing la
borers in the several departments of this
company give preference to our late em
ployees, whether they are Knights of Labor
or not, except that yon will not employ
any person who has injured the company’s
property during the late strike, nor will we
discharge any person who has token service
with the company during said strike. We
see no objection to arbitrating auy differ
ence* between employees and the company,
past or fptwre. Jat Goult», President.”

The Carrollton Tragedy Made an Kxcnae
for a Revival of the Old Cry of
Southern Oat rages—A Live
ly Day In the Senate.
Washington, March 26.—The chair laid
before the Senate the President’s message
transmitting the report of the Civil Service
Commission. Referred.
Among the bills introduced was one by
Hoar providing for iuqnesta under national
authority. PIoAr said the bill wus suggested
by the report of the recent occurrences at
Carrollton, Miss. The Senate had had no
information in regard to these occurrences,
but newspapers of both political parties seem
ed to agree About them. According to these
reports, a wanton and unprovoked crime
had been committed, resulting iu the death
of a large number of citizens, in which
all the victims were of one race, and, he
presumed, of one political party, and all the
murderers of nnothcr. Such occurrences,
unfortunately, had been of frequent occur
rence, but wheu investigated were apt to
take a political turn. Persons doing or
apologizing for them say they had no politi
cal significance. Still tho fact remained
that it was opponents of the Democratic
party that were killed and that adherents of
that party were the murderers. This bill
w as to supply a method of inquiry which
would be removed from politics. Referred
to the judiciary committee.
The Edmunds’ resolutions were ttien
laid before the Senate aud Ingalls took the
floor. Ingalls fluid he would take up the
question where the opposition left it; lie
would begin where they closed. He con
ceded all that the Democratic Senators
demanded as to the constitutional power of
the executive os to appointments to office.
The judiciary committee's report did not
impair or infringe on the admitted high
prerogatives of the President. Ingalls dis
tinctly and absolutely denied that the Sen
ate had asked for the President’s reasons
for suspending anybody from office. In
his message voluntarily sent to the Senate,
however, the President skirted out with
nn unfounded imputation upon the
position of tho majority in
the Senate; lie said that Senators and com
xnittces had importuned the executive for
his reasons for suspensions and Ingalls de
nied this, nnd challenged anybody on be
half of the administration to point out ono
word of fact on which the President's state
ment could bo justly founded. Unless
some Senator should now, while the debate
was going on, sty something in support of
that statement which Ingalls denied, ho
w ould assume that his denial could not bo
met. It had also been said that “private’
papers had been asked for. Ingalls denied
this aho, and wonld he glad to hear any
Senator say when, how or where
the Senate had asked for
any private papers. The Republicans of
Kansas also believed, and Ingalls believed,
that no Republican could hold public
under a Democratic administration without
either sacrificing his convictions or forfeit
ing his self respect. Accordingly, when
the new administration was inaugurated
those who held office iu that State began
with ono con-n ut to make causes for retir
ing to private life. They did not stand on
the onler of their going; they trampled on
e.icb other in tumultuous and indecent haste
to get out of office. [Laughter.] There was
no craving there for mercy; no
mercenary straggler went for shelter to the
bomb-proof of the tenure of office act, and
no sutler crawled behind the fragile breast
works of civil service reform. [Laughter.]
He (Ingalls) was not one of those who be
lieved in non-partisanship iu politics.
Political parties wero indispensable to free
government He had no putience with men
who believed in a badge of virtue to belong
to no political organization or that it re
flected glory on a statesman to affect inde
pendence of his party.
Ingalls was followed by Morrison, Logan
and Edmunds in set speeches, with occa
sional interruptions by Democratic Sena
tors.
The question was then on Vandyck's
amendment prevailing that “in all such
loses of removal, the matter of confirma-
that the Senate now proposed to assert,
though it had been carefully conceded.
Grady's appeal was laid on the table.
Brown moved to amend by striking out
the third resolution altogether. Tho mo
tion was not agreed to.
The vote being taken on the third reso
lution, it whs agreed to—yeas 30, nays 29—
Mitchell of Oregon, Riddleberger and Van-
Wyek voting with the Democrat*.
The fourth resolution, condemning the
discharge of ex-Union soldiers aud the
putting in their places of men w ho had ren
dered no military service for tho govern
ment, was then voted on and agreed to—
yes SO, nays 1, (Morgan, i
Before the resolution came to a vote,
Butler said if he had time he could demon
strate that the Republican party had vio
lated the law relating to soldiers ten times
while the present administration “had not
departed from it once."
Morgan offered a resolution declaring that
nothing in the resolutions already adopted
wok to be construed os declaring thut the
conduct of the Attorney-General rendered
him liable to impeachments and that the
Senate disclaimed the right or power to pun
ish him by imprisonment or otherwise,
other than by impeachment for the offense
charged against him in the resolutions.
(>n Edmunds' motion, this resolution was
laid on the table—yeas 33, nays 26.
At 9:30 p. in. the Senate adjourned till
Monday.

Miss Dunaway Alive.
Atlanta papers are giving the public some
curious and wonderful cases that are quite
interesting. It seems a young lady of At
lanta bad been reported ns dead, but it
cams to the ears of a Constitution reporter
thut she was still alive, und being on the
alert for news, called at hsr residence to
learn all the facts. Miss Dunaway, who
had been pronounced dead, said :
“For four years, rheumatism and neural
gia have resisted physicians and all other
treatment. My muscles seemed to dry up,
my flesh shrank away, my joints were
swollen, painful and largo/lost my appe
tite, was reduced to 60 pounds in weight,
and for months was expected to die. I
commenced the use of B. B. B,, and the
action of one-half bottle convinced my
friends that it would cure me. Its effect
was like magic. It gave me au appetite—
gave me strength, relieved all my pains and
aches, added flesh to my bones, and when
five bottles had been used, 1 had gained 50
pounds of flesh, and am to-day sound and
well.

five more strikers to the entire number now

and property, and a conflict la-tween them

order of the Governor of the State, tiro
City Kiflcs have been assigned to duly in

Judge Byrne ap|»eared and, iu presence of
the military and civil officer* nnd 5IK) other
persons, read the riot ect of Arkansas, nnd
Iherenpon requested every one not directly
connected with the railroad to leave the
premises, and commanding the sheriff and
his supporters to see the onler obeyed and
to exhaust nil minus to protect the course
of commerce when [it-i-tssary. It is thought
the next effort to move trains will he effect
ual. Great dissatisfaction exists among the
Knights of Iatimr, and many leading mem-
fin signify their intention of abandoning
the strike, as public xcutiuunt is entirely
with the railroads.
Sana, Auk., March28.—The freight
blockade in this city was broken this morn
ing nnd n freight train sent north with
freight for St. Louis under a strong guard
of militia. Great excitement prevailed an|

who were bronght back here and put in
jail, ’lire running of this train is regarded
>v tlie people ef Texarkana as breaking the
backbone of the strike at this point.
GoLVEwrotf, March 2S.—The Knights of

night, attended by two thousand Knights
and citizens. lUsolutions were adopted
heartily endoraing the circular issued by
Grand Master Workman Powderly in hi*
efforts to secure a settlement of the existing

injunction of secrecy should be removed
from the proceedings of tire Senate this was
the occasion. The Senate hail been talking
about the star chamlier proceedings of the
l’rc-ident nnd attacking him because he
hail not socu fit to disclose to the Senate
motives which prompted him, and
at the same time it bad been
closing its iloor* on nomination* which he
(Butler) would hr very glud to have dis
cussed in open session, in onler that tlie
country might understand the reasons and
grounds assigned by tlie majority of tlie
Senate for refusing to confirm the nomin
ations.
At tho suggestion of Harris, Vunwyek
modified his amendment by omitting tlie
words “of confirmation."
Hour raised the point that the amendment
wo* not in onler, inasmuch as it changed
the rules of the Senate, aud no uoticu had
been given of it.
The President pro tempore sustained the
point of orderand an|tppeal taken by Butler

the strength of the proposition for o(>en

favor the principle voted to table the ap

against tabling it.

Against the third resolution, declaring it
the duty of the Senate to refuse confirma
tion, Gray raised the point that it changed
a rule of the Senate and was not in onler.
The President pro tempore overruled the
point of order, and Gray appealed from the
decision.
Morgan, inferring from some remark* of
Edmunds that he held the Senate to have
the right to imprison tire Attorney-General

either boose of Congress, and that if he
failed he could be punished fdr contempt
