Louis, Morch Ol.-Tho strike, thoy any, ' la ended, but it stems m though there hud beenralhora slilftlneot the Issues Involved) for, whatovor may bo the opinion olsewhere. It Is unuuostlonnbly a faot that tho Itsue with tb Knlshts hero has boon tho recognition nnd oo- know lodgment ol tho order nnd lt purposes. It mar bo promature to soy that this tssuo Is ' now changed to one thnt involves the per- jnanonco or rapid disintegration of the Knights. ' but such Is unuuostlonnbly tho opinion of 1 many, and the foar ol not n few of tho Knlghta I Uiemsolves. So when this morning tho Eiecu- tlveOommltteeand Master Irons, In the gloomy Chamber whero thev atsembto. decided to Issue the conditional ordor to the men to resume work, ther deotded to do so In spite of their personal wishes, and unquestionably with great 1 dltsat'sfnctlon. The ordor came from Mr. Irons. and his asso ciates, ono aould sou who met them, rather liked the signal for a truco, and a truoe that ther fearod met ultimate, oomplete aurrender. Nothing certainly could bo loss suggostlvo of victory than the plcturo of Mr. Irons late lost night and early this morning, gloomily, ner , voiisly. and. one would think, almoBt angrily ' pacing the floor, as though faos to faco with tho most disheartening trouble. It was no such ending as he had hoped for. and even predicted a few days ago, Oonoral Managor Hoxle had peremptorily deollnod to treat wild tho Knights ol Labor at all. nnd had made It a condition of any confer ence that he might hnve with tho striking em ployee that tber should como to him ns em ployees of the Missouri Pnclflo system ; and ' when he did that Mr. Irons said. In elToot: "Wo will make him treat with the Knlghta of Labor. He shall baok down." ' Now. lato last night camo o. despatch from tho great sovereigns of tho Knlghta to Martin Iron as follows: Have bet-n In conference all day, with the result that Vice President Hoxle egreeelo the following: "Willing: 0 meet a committee nf nureluployeee without dtfcrlm nation who are actuallr at work In Hie service of the companr at the time eucli oomntittee le appointed, to -adjust with them any grlevancea they may have. ' "Il.M. Iloita." nsve your Executive Committee oider the men to re torn to woi k, and alio eelect a special committee from theeinploreea of the Missouri faolflo to wait on Mr. Uoxtt to adjust anv differences. Do thle 'ab Quickly at eosslblo board wl.l leate for Bt. Louie to-morrow. FaiDISICK Tuinkb. It was no wondor that Master Irons paced tho floor for a tow momcuts like n ungod lion. On tho one handl lie e.iw thnt Mr. Hoxlelhad not budsed an Inch from bis first position. Which was somotlilng like this: 1 "End your strlka; than. If you have any grievance. Bond a committee of the employoea to mo. as omployoes. not ns Knights." It wns not to do that, but to treat with Mr. Boxlo as Knights. tliut gave the animating motive to the strlko. Therefore Mr. Irons could not but regard this despatch as an infer ential failure on the part of tho supreme body to support him. It would be lie, not Mr. Iloxio, who must bnok down, and it is easy to under stand how hard and galling that must bo. es pecially to a man with such apparent ly lntenso and oarnest devotion to the eause of the Knights of Labor as Mr. Irons. Some sny that ho hesitated to obey the order of his supiirlors. It be did bo was not without sympathizers, and a following thnt would hnvo gono with him as far as he cared to goinoppoaition to the commands of the su preme power. But that would have been re volt, and might Iiavo brought on at once the disintegration of the order. I do not believe Mr. Irons hesitated a moment As soon an he was ossurod that the despatch from Mr. Tur ner was genuine. Mr. Irons issued this order: Matter Workmen focal .oi'mMfn, DMrla 101 : Yon are liereby ordortd iy the Utneral Executive Board to go to work. Honor demands that )ou sea that those who came out to eupport you go to work drat. W wUl telegraph you the hour and day. K&KTiif laows. Chairman. This was followed by a supplemental order Instructing the men to go to work on Thursday atlOo'ciook. With the issuing of then orders Mr. Irons and bis associates can only wait until the Exec utive Council from New York comes. Mr. Irons aid to-day that he could not oven nppolnt the eommtltOD wblcb bo was directed to appoint' by Mr. Turner. Mr. Iloxie had madn It one of , the conditions of his agreoraent that a com mittee, to be received by him. must come irom 1 men actually at work. Alort and cautious. Mr. Irons and his associates did not fall to find their ausploions aroused by this wording: "Does Mr. Iloxie moan men now at work?" they ask. These men have no grievance. If not. will he be fair about taking back the strikers In the manner suggested by Irons' ordor?" That Is. will he allow the men who first went out to be the first to be received book? If Mr. Hoxio should not do thts, it Is almost certain thnt new complications will at onco arlBe; for Mr. Irons Is not believed to bo willing to appoint any oommlltee until n majority of tho men have been received. Thus matters rest until the arrival of tho Exocutlvo Counall to-morrow or next day. It is not overstating to sny that many of tho Knights put little confidence In any further ef forts, and more of them believe that tho strug gle Is only suspended, nnd must either be te newedorelse the organization of tho Knights of Labor will reoelve a vary serious, possibly fatal, set back: "For." they argue, "if we could not win now, what hope that we can ever win?" It is just here that tho situation assumes most Important aspoots. of conso , ouonce to Knlghta of Labor every whore. The brief struggle in New York In aid of the strik ing employees of the horse railroads was a lurelv looal struggle. This Is the first grapple bat the Knights bavo had with great corporate I Powers, involving tho railway system of tho Southwest, some 8,000 miles, and from 13.000 to 13.000 men, against tbe ablest of our cap italists. The feeling, oertainly exists among the Knlghta bare that the Executive Council in Its late meotlngs with tho railway capitalists In Hew York have not mnintalned themselves, aodtkore Is tho Inevitable, though it maybe oslya temporary demoralization, that follows loss of prestige, even though it may bo only apparent. It Is unquestionably true that horo, outside of tho organization of tho Knights, toe belief Is general that the conferences of we Executive Council In New York were oom plete failures, and thnt tho Cottnoll ware obliged to accept such agreement as they did to escape i us humiliation of no agreement at alL But t tail opinion, doubtless, Is du to looking to Haw York through the smoke of St. Louis. Mr. Powderly and bis associates. Mr. Hoxle Is re ported as saying to friends hero, were looking beyond the local trouble here, and were regard lag the situation with respeot to tho whole or Kanixatlon and Its plans. It Is quite potslblo lost Mr. I'owderly had a more thorough knowl , Mgepr tbe situation than the local Knlghta, possibly realizing that nil of Mr. Halle's teltv rams to Jay Unuld wore not comprised In uoM that were printed. llinve been Informed on excellent authority t more telegrams that will explain the ourlous halt that took place between Bunder night and Monday noon. Thero Is no question that Mr. uoxiewas.most seriously annoyed, and for a Km, offended, by the tone of Mr, Mould's letter JPMr. I'owderly, In which the latter is ad- P&uad by the Initials of bis title as officer of - !r!.Kn,Kbt- and In which there is a quasi , lS?Jfnlron of the Knights, That was precisely ' ""'Mr, Hoxle had from tho first determined sou Id not be done, and though ho understood wit no possible rufleotlon on tbe line of ?.,! 9? h". adopted was intended by "'Qould. yet the laltcr might be taken Infer II i."" iV P, Indication thnt he had been over fowl, Mr. Hoxle on Monday, lam informed, Mlurraphed to Mr. Gould expressing this Idea, En'ii,.imb.(,r inpt ng that be oould not and oold not recognize In any way such an organ atlon as tho Knights lint that If It was the f5?-i'ilr0thel .

The local com teltteo conferred to-day with tho committee controlling the East at. Louis strlko on the quostlon whether the order from Now York to rosumo work Inoludod the strike In-that town. Late this evonlng they wore still deliberating on the quostlon. Meanwhile the strikers there have been very qulot to-day The Wabash road sent out savornl trains, but the other roads seemed to bo willing to let matters rest. John VVnlsh and 1, L.

Tbo Army bill Is only the pretext for tho row. and not Its real cnuso, Tho fight is renlly a preludo to the Presidential contest of 1888. and tho three Senators who are opposing Lognn are all In the Blaine movamont Gen. Logan is aware of tho purpose of his ene mies, nnd bo hns been Inn wild rage over It for the post fortnight. Last week ho boiled over at Halo and stated very broadly that he knew somebody was behind Halo In opposition to him. Everybody within hearing of his voice understood htm to mean Blaino. His Ian gunco. as the llrconl gave It next day, struck over) bod vns having been materially changed nnd softened. Mr. Teller.

Ho denlod that he referred to Jllalnensbohlnd Hale in the attack upon him. There was an effort on tho pnrt of certain mem bers ot tbe Senate to make trouble betwoon himself and a man to whom ha was a better friend than they wore. Much an effort could not succeed. It was apparent after Logan s speech to-day that tho controversy would surely load to the dragging of lilalno Into the arena It It ware kopt up. nnd so old Phlletus Sawyer, tho uni versal poacomakor. nnd Don Cameron, ivhosnw that Logan was Hkelv to get worse hurt In the row than Ulalno and didn't want to hnvo that happen, put their heads together and ngroea to soe what could be dono tnwnrd hrlnglng about a reconciliation.

At.iunv, March 31. An unoxpfotctl ob stacle has hlndored the plan of the New York representatives In Albany to meet the de mands ot the people for tho Immediate passage of tho bill to annul the Broadway charter, fraud ulently obtained by Jacob Sharp and his bnrid ot Innoconts. Tho Republicans solidly opposed this action to-day. They made theoppotltlon to tbe popular will a party cause, and adhered to it blindly and without ovon the oppearnncfs) of a just oxcuse. Tho semblance ot a reason upon which they based their nctlcn was the pretence that they wore offended by the words Benator Murphy used in urging the Domo orats to take action at onco. ' The lendor of the Democrnoy, wlth'unaccus tomed clumsiness, tugged in tbe Uovornor'a proclamation ns a reason tor prompt! action by the Democrats. Tho Itopubltcann nrfder Pitta's leadership cuught this up as the basis of tholr movoment to obstruct this legislation. Their reason for taking this conrso woe not that they oppose the bill so much as tlifct they are Jealous of tho record the Democrat) from tho Governor down, have made by their anxiety to right the great wrong Inflicted upon," tho citi zens ot the metropolis. Most of the Republicans mean to vote tor tho bills, but tbey want to do so In such a manner ns to buve all the credit Unfortunately for thorn, tbey cannot manage this nnd to-day's blending of childish ness and ntupid partisanship putt them fur ther from their point than over. An to the un dignified attack upon the Gover.ior, hie. po sition In the matter enables him to view them very complacently. V Benator Low. early In the proceedings, re ported the four Broadway bills the shmo that wero some tlrno ago presented ntikt recom mitted to tbe cnramltteo. Hoaskod'lbnt thoy be made a special order for uoxti.Tuosdny morning. Benator Nelson arose ana said bo wlshod to bo entered ns dissenting Strom the committee's report and that ho opposed each of tho bills. , 't-i , Benator Murphy moved as an amendment that the bills be mado the special ordor for to morrow evening. Tho neccesltr for spoody action is appreciated by every New York Bonn tor. He believed that iivo nr six of tho seven fnvored the bills, and they thouuht they ought to bo considered us early ns posslblo,frFor his pnrt ho could not sea how any Democrat could object to the bills In tho face of tho proclama tion Issued by tho Governor. ; Sonntor Low then explained that "the com mittee had nrrungou to uo to New York to-morrow to attend their meeting tlient on' Friday. Tho committoo was just as desirous nsnnybody of having an early disposition madivof the bills, but hn oould not boo how this could bo done be fore Tuosdny. ; Senator Murphy said thoy could wait nnd pass tbo bills to-morrow nlghtnud then take tho lato train for New York. Senator Murphy then callod for tho ayes and nccson his motion. Senator FoH'etttthe Kl rolro editor who attack tho prs oncer n day. nskod if tho bills had neon modified, and Judge Low answered that tho bill that hail b?en sub stituted for the original Cantor bill bad boon amended considerably, nnd another bill had been Bllglitly inodllled. The two redlining bills had been returned unaltered. Senator TraplingHii thun said ho did not soe why any delay should bo had. If tho bills can bo pasbod to-morrow nlghtwhnt further neces sity is there for tho ItuilroadCaiiimltteotogo tn Now York and pursuo thu Investigation ? Urn not tbe committee accomplished its ob ject? Does not the nppenranco of tbeso bills justify the assertion that tho object of Investi gation hns been performed? Sonntor Pitts sought for dolny. and to make a good point ho pretended to resent Col. Mur phy's language. He said If ihoru was nny ex traordinary occasion demanding early or hasty action tbe Sennte might vote for Benator Mur phy's amendment. The Chairman or the com mittoo named Tuesday, and that was certainly nn early date, but the party whip wns cracked In the Hennto as If thobo wore pollUe.-.l:meas-uros. Ho would iisk Kunator MurpbrvMint uo meant by a proclamation br tho Govornnr. Senator Murphy defended bis uso of the word. Ho thouuht nny ofllcial declaration by Iho Governor might bo callod a proclamation. Senator Pitts said he stood corrected. It prob ably was addrcbsod to tho people, but tho facts aro thnt while oneot tho important commit tees of the Sennto was Investigating this iiues tlon. tho Governor Issued this proclamation. It was a inesnoco thnt no Governor properly had tho right to address to n legislative body whiolt has tbe subioct under consideration. Mr. Pitts addod: Till attempt to niabo a politlrnl queetlon of it or to gtt political advantage out of It elihrr br the lMiiitunf. proilaniatlnni to tlioproplo or tneueirea to the Leitlkla. hire, where there hneliten no eiliteme whatever thnt thry are trilling with the luldecl I ea It I' ImplooVlii airocy aud an attempt to obtain political oapliai which le unfulr and uiinMnlr. Thttt menace erut to tie by tl.e tioveruor wae not warrauted or JuetlHed or In good taeto Senator Worth Bald that so far as the Gover nor's niebsngclwas concernedIt should not gov ern tho Senate. The bills should be piloted, and the motion that thoy ho made a special order for TubriIiiv was a proper one. He thought It unfair for any Sonntor to make po litical capital cut ollsuch a question, and thun reflect on tho motives of other and conscien tious men. Sonator Daly nald tbo language of the Gov ernor was not oxcoptlor.al or without a paral lel. In 1875 Gov. Tlld-n cxprrasod sfmllur opinions with rogardtn the canal frauds. It ls tbo duly of the Executive to point out such measures as uo thinks win suoservo the publlo good. Tbo Sonator uskod Btmntor Low If the committee's bills could bo iutelligontly consid ered now. Senator Low thought they could; throo ot tbem, at any rate. ... ... "I nm surprised, then. Bald Mr. Daly, that the Republicans do not show thnsamozcnl in passing tboso bills that they did tbo other night lu rushing through the Capitol Appropriation bill." Sonntor llollly of tho Railroad Committee said the committee desired to consult countel once ngatn before the pnseugo ot tho bills, and must go to Now York to do so. He was sorry for the reforuncna to tho Governor, who, ho thought, simply rose to the occasion presented Senator Murphy said the last thought In his mina was to ronUe this a political Question. He believed there ttere no politics In It. He would withdraw his motion calling for the yens and nays and let the matter be decided by a viva voco vnto. Sonator Pitts retracted bis stntoment that tho Governor Is a demagogue. Ho had no suoli In tention In using tho word excopt as applying tn the donmiid for busty action. Ha person ally respected tho Ooiornor and his great nlllcj and desired to son him do well, hut ho returned to Ills criticism of tho message lux-onipanrlug the Cantor bill which he. very thoughtlessly and wrongly, declared "was liimlgu" to this matter, to which the Governor's miiisnge roferrrtl. Mr. Daly neatly tripped blm up on thnt stntoment and routed him with u simple ntnteinont oflhe facts. "It was unfair, and it did stnnck of dema gogy," said Mr. Pittas, "when Sonator Mur phy stood up nnd said tho Govornor had iretiod n proclamation, and called on overy Democrat to net nt once, and thus put the Itetuiblfcans, who desired to stand by tho committee, in n falto position. I don't propoao to be swept ofl ntyfeot by linnrlngof the Governors procla m nt Ion. 1 know that lu tils cooler moments Hon.iior Murphy doesn't InJulgoinsychclap- Hrtiiutnr Murphy thon withdrew his opposi tion, and thu motion to mitko tho bills a special order for Tuesday morning was carried. The bills as Senator Low liamlod thorn up are In the main as they originally appealed.

In the bill to provide for tho winding up ot corporations there Is an amendment changing the words "Judge wbosbnll reside in the coun ty" to "who shall resldu In tho judicial depart ment" It Is generally understood that this infantile behavior of tbe majority Is nil duo to the fact thnt Mr. Pitts Is preparing what he thinks will bo a great speech In favor of annulling the Broadway oburter.

Speaker Ilustod Is only another namo for the same J. W. Hustod whom everybody knows. Ho has not changed his character, nnd no more and no less is to be expected of him as Speaker than was true ot blm as a plain, but lively mombor6f the House, Those who backod him as a changed man havo tood reason to regret their course. To speak of his recordlngeneral.lt may be said that he it still rushing legislation through poll moll, regardless ot tho public welfare and ot fair play to conflicting Interests. In a wild ondoavor to close the session enrllor- than usual. Some say he does this becauso he thinks it will give him a brilliant reputa tion. At presont. however, he Is not winning golden plaudits from tbe poople so tar as heard frcm. no may bo unintentionally pleasing tho big corporations that are always interested In getting their enemy, tho Legislature, out ot tholrlwny as quloklyas possible. ThoyQnd It far lots exponslvo than to fight tbe bills that affect thom as those bills como up one by ono. Just think what a godsend to tho Broadway Surface Railroad it would bo to have the Legis lature adjourn boforo Rosroe Conkling's bills aro passed. Speaker Hustod should view the matter from this standpoint and think whether an early adjournment may not hurt rathor than holp blm. To-day another old familiar vlewof Speaker Hutted was bad. Mr. Cantor tried to call up out of its order tho bill tolncrenso tho pay of New York city pollco Captains to t2.750. It I Sonator Gallon's bill, and Is ono that would have bean oxposed nnd tn all probability killed had not much greater matter monopolized publlo attention here. Thoro is, of course, no good oxcuse for increasing thoso snlotles. Mr. alitor failed to get thu necessary votes, and the matter pasted out ot mind. The rush of bill rending went on, whon suddanly Mr. Lind say of Brooklyn callod out: Mr. Speaker, how did this bill come up for consideration? An hour ago we voted not to tnke it up." It was the Police Captains' bill, nnd It was going through llkonbnll In n bowling alley, peaker Hutted rapped tho member Into bis seat saying that he was out ot ordor. Thon such a clamor arose that tho Speaker was obliged to hood It. Ho said that Mr. MeClol lanaof Wostehostor bad callod It up. Messrs. Alnsworth, Lindsay. McCnun, nnd othors wore on their feat, trying to protest, but Mr. Hustod recognized Mr. Robert Ray Hamilton, whoenld it was a worthy bill and ought to pass. He moved the previous Question. This was vary lite gag law. and great disorder reigned. Hustod pounded and thundered with his gavel, but tho House was angry, and tho gag was removed by n heavy voto.

Mr. Sloan ot that committee fa vored tho motion, because ho had not boon nblo to got a quorum upon it Senator Low. ono of Plntt's soven graces, denounced the bill on tho ground that It will add to tho taxes.

Tbo Sennto this" evening rejeoted the nomination ot tho new Postmaster at Webster Oily. Iowa, all tho Republicans nnd all but two or three ot the Democrats voting against him. Tho report of tho committoo shows that beobtnlndd tbe appointment partly by repre sentations that his prodoootsor was an offen sive partisan, and that ho hlmsolf, since his appointment, has been even more actlvo In thoso things which constitute offensive par tisanship than tho man ho supplanted. A considerable numbor of Postmasters. whoo predecessors were suspendod without charges, were reported upon favorably. This was dono on tho theory In somo casos that, us the nomi nations hnd beon a long time before f ho com mittee and nothing ndveree to tho nominees had been heard. It waa Bafo to assume that neither tho suspendod man nor his neighbors carod to bo henrd. In other cases posltlvo In formation had boon reoelved thnt tho nominees wero all right, nnd that thu outgoing officials had no grlovancn, Nono of the cases In rospoot to which papers hnvo been refused was re ported.

Tkay Coined Alt Ike Trouble of tke City of Mexico, Now Held at Her lVeet. Lawyer W. W. Maofarland, who was callod from town to Key West just a fortnight ago to seauro the release of tho City of Mexico and of her passsngors. who hnd bean arrested as fili busters by tho United States man-of-war Ga lena, descrlbod the seizure of tho steamer and tho nrrcst of her passongers last night to a Sun reporteras being " very grotosquo incidents In n wild sort of opera bouffe proceeding" botore the judicial authorities at Key West Lawyer Macfarland got homo from his trip yesterday afternoon. He had gono to Key West In re sponso to a telegram from A. D. Strauss A Co., tho agents of tho City of Mexico. When he got to Key West he found the City of Mexico In tho harbor, with tho Galena along side gunrdlng her. Ho said that the City ot Mexico went down to St Andrews with nothing more warltko aboard than a cargo of corn, and no more firearms than cloven pistols, five ot which wouldn't go off ovon It tho ownern trlod to fire thom. Tho trouble that the City of Mexico got Into, Mr. Moclnrland said, was owing to the efforts of the chief engineer, tbo cook, nnd tbo mate, the latter of whom was on the vorgo of delirium tremens all the toyage. to stir up n disturbance among the ciow. Thoy appeared to be undor tbe impression that there wns n great deal of American gold aboard nnd tbey wantod to get at It When tho steamer reached St. A ndrews and discharged bor cargo.. tbe crew wero inducod to appeal to the American Consulate there to set tlo the dispute' which the chief engineer told him ONlsted between Capt Kelly ana tbe men. Capt Kelly at thlB time wns 700 miles from' Honduras, and had on board return malls for Now York, and hn Intended to return as soon as ha got bis Import cargo aboard. Heex- Slnltied to tho Consul that no ground for trou !n nmong tbe man existed, but, to his aston ishment, tho Consul sent word to Colon for a man-of-war to como down and take charge of the steamer. Thon Commander Chester swooped down In the Galena, carried tho City of Mexico into Koy West, and lllod ono libel against her as a " prlzo seizure." and another for bolng engaged in an expedition ot war against Honduras. Thon ho arrested all the passongers. Mr. Mac farland says that tho arrest of Mr. Soto wns made by Commander Chester beoause Mr. Soto wouldn't make some sort of an affidavit that he wanted blm to. Mr. Bote had boon in an In Bane asylum, and ho got so frightened, Mr. Macfarland says, thnt ho became stark mad again and had to be put into n retreat. When tho case came up before the District Court for hearing all tbo prisoners wero promptly discharged, excepting Gen. Delgardo and Col. Morey. District Attorney Betbol. who bad been in office just ono day. insisted that thoso should bo held for trial lo this city on the charge of organizing a warlike expedition against a friendly power. They cave $3,000 bail each to appear for trial, and Mr. Maofar land says they will appear wbenover they are wanted. Tho Court continued tbe detention of the steamer Itself, giving District Attorney Bethel until April IS to get testimony from New York relative to her alleged illegal uso as a filibuster. He nopolnted United States Commissioner Shields a Commissioner to take this testimony, and tho document uppointlngbim, with a mem orandum ot tbe wltnosses whose testimony Is wanted, was reoelved by Commissioner .Bblolds yesterday. Mr. Macfarland tars thnt be it confidant that not only wilt Oen. Delgardo nnd Col. Morey be acquitted, but that the steamer will be reloasod ns well. Obituary.
