George Bodgera, a member of tbe ozecu committee, aaid in regard to the address: ”1 have been apprehensive for some time that our rapid growth would lead to extrava- gancca in the way of strikes and demands which would involve knights in serious diffi culties. Then, too, I have no ticed that new assemblies are anxious to try their strength. It ia like a bay with a new pair of boots. He wants to kick something. Incendiary inter- vlesn with prominent knighta con cerned in tha Missouri Pacific strike have dene much to widen tho breach between the men and thslr employers. The knighta are already tha greatest organisation of labor ever known, and if they head Powderly’s advice they will yet become more mighty angina of our order, to boar on petty eases will destroy its usefulness. So many Anna will bo on the list soon that no knight can ktep them In mind.

At 1:90 o'clock thia afternoon tbe Vandalla road in East St Louis succeeded in getting out a freight train of eleven can. About 700 men were standing around tho depot at the time. An Ohio and Mississippi freight train moved as if to start out, and tho crowd mado a rush to stop it This action of the strikers left the tracks around the depot clear. The Vaadalia engineer, who was all ready to start, saw his chance, put on steam and started away. One of the crowd saw tho move, and running ahead turned the switch signal across the track, ex pecting the engineer would stop when he saw the track blocked; but the engineer turned on more steam and crashed through tho sigual. The train was off, and in a few minutes out of sight. Texabkana, March 27.—The railroad men are under the protection of militia. They have succeedrd in moving three engines, which are now being successfully operated with detachments of militia on each engine. Texarkana, March 27.—At a mass meeting of citlsens Thursday night many Knights of Labor were present, ana the local exeeutive committee publicly expressed their determin* atlon to assist thecitlxens in carrying out tho law and in protecting railroad property. In order to test their professions, the connty officers, with a number of leading cltixens, visited tho roundhouse of the Iron Mountain road yester* day afternoon and got out an engine. The •beriffand a posses boarded the locomotive, aa did also the Knighta of Labor. Thi had steam up and ware about to run tbe railway is required to proceed at once to regularly run trains over the road under the penalty of being proceeded against at law for farther failure to do so. In order that that corporation may freely and without hindrance discharge iu duty to the public, all persons are notified to refrain from any interference with tho trains, track, motive power, etc., under the penalty of law, aod the sheriffli in tbe countiee penetrated by the rail- way are charged specially with the execution of thete commands, and all good citizens are expected to preserve order and refrain from acta calculated to lead to breaches of the peace, and from all trespasses on, or interference with, railways, or operations thereof. Austin, Texas, March 25.—Governor Ire land today Issued tho following proclamation: “Whereas, It has been made known tome that disturbances, irregularities and violations ot law are of frequent occurrence ou tne various lines of railroads in this state; that trains earning freight and passengers are interfered with by peraons har ing no connection with Mid roads; that bridges have been burned, spikes have bean with drawn and trains derailed, to the great detriment of. commerce, and travel, and tba placing of life In grett peril. It Is said that tbe condition of affairs on the rail roads has been brought about by an organisation know n as the Knighta of Labor, and that the per sons engaged in theae iawlaaa deeds are members of that older. Whether this is true or not. it is hardly credible that tbo order, or the best ele ments in It, can coontenanca the violations of law mentioned. The employes have the unquestion able moral and legal right to quit tho service of their employes whenever their employment Is not remunerative and satisfactory, provided such action does not violate their con tract, but when they quit and sever their relations it is the duty of those quitting to get out of the way and leave any others who may wuh to take service tree todoro. Intimidation or interference with persona desiring to work is a gross violation or tho rights of free men, and can't be tolerated in a free government Now. therefore. I, John Ireland, gov ernor of Texas, do hereby issue this, my proclama tion, warning all persons, whoever they may be, engaged In any of said unlawful acts, that tbsy are entailing on tnemseltea disaster and ruin, and that offended and outraged Justice may sooner or later overtake and punish them, unleaa they promptly ceatc their lawlessness. Muster Workman rowderly Talks Sense. St. Louis, March 20.—Master Workman Powderly has issued a secret circular to tho ncblo order of tho Knights of Labor of Amer ica, which haa just been made public. Mr. Powderly instructs tbo secretary of each as sembly to call a 'till meeting, and read before it the sentiments which follow. The address opens with on order to tho assembly to cease initiating new members until the relations of capital and labor shall become less strained than at present, and continues “To attempt to win concessions or gains with our K rcrent raw, undisciplined membership, would be ke burling an unorganised mob agslnstawell drilled regular army. It is not fhlr to tbe older as semblies to bring In new membera pick uptbeir quarrels as loon •* organised, and navo them ex pect pecuniary aid from those who helped build the order up for a noble purpose." • • DR.

TBZAMtAifA, March 28.—Upon tho order of the goraraor of the atato, tha City Bides have been assigned to duty in the railway yards.
