TO SETTLE THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
Plan of the Exeentlve Board of the
Knight* or Labor.
8t. Louts, April 3.?Frederick Turner, the
secretary of the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor, and William H. Bailey, of
the same committee, arrived in this city Irom
Cincinnati this morning, and proceeded to the
rooms of the local executive committee, where
they are now considering the strike situation.
After this conference shall have been fluisbed
and some definite line of action decided upon
Mr. Turner will attempt to see Mr. Hoxie and
ascertain what line he Intends to
follow in re-employing the striking
Knights of Labor. A Becond
conlerence will then be held with the local
committee, and an agreement formulated
which will be presented to Mr. Hoxie for his '
signature. Mr. Turner, In an interview this
mofning, stilted that his plan is that
all the positions not now filled by the
new men who have been employed
since the inauguration of the strike shall be
open to applications from the Knights: that
those who apply shall be employed, and from
them shall be selected the arbitration commit
tee, which will attempt to arrive at some amica
ble understanding concerning the grievances of
the Missouri Pacific knights. Mr. Turner, iu reply
to an inquiry if lie could request that all strik
ing Knights of .Labor be re-employed, replied:
i ">o; Buch has never been the case here
tofore, even when we have been most
victorious in our struggles with capital, and we
can hardlv expect such a course to be pursued
by the railroad companies now. We don't ex
pcct them to discharge competent men who
have been employed during the strike, and we
shall make no such demands. All we ask is that
the places now vacant be filled by the Knights
ol Labor who may make application for them,
and that trom them shall be chosen an arbitra
tion committee to treat with Mr. Hoxie. Neither
hall we demand that those who have commuit?
depredation upon the company's property be
taken back. 8ueh a demand would be incon
sistent with the principles laid down In our
constitution, for you know we advise that vio
lence in all cases be avoided and the loss of his
position by a Knight who destroys his em
ployer's property is a just punishment."
Mr. Bailey hoped lor a speedy settlement of
the strike, and had no doubt but it would
soon be ended, provided Mr. Hoxie would
consent to conier with them.
Bloodshed at Fort Worth.
St. Louis, April 3,1:45 p. m.?The Post-Dis
patch's special from Fort Worth, Texas, says au
attempt has just been made to start a freight
train on the Missouri Pacific.
Officers Fulford.Sneed and Townsend are mor
tally wounded and three strikers were shot
down in their tracks. Immense excitement
prevails.
A Remarkable Case.
CURIOUS GROUNDS ON WHICH A MURDERER'S
PARDON IS ASKED.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 3.?Preparations
will begin Monday for the execution on Thurs
day next oi Phillips who cut his wife's throat
last July in a public alley in this city and
afterwards fried to cut his own, which he %o
mangled that he has been living ever
since with un air tube in his throat.
A very peculiar petition, signed by seve
ral hundred persons has been presented
to the governor in his behalf. Alter reciting
the circumstances of the murder the petition
concludes: "If ne is executed by hanging as ;he
sentence and law require,the noose, necessarily
encircling his neck above the opening oi
the tube will iu no wise produce stran
gulation, or in any way interfere with
Ins respiration, and thus his death
must necessarily ensue from sheer
physical exhaustion, and not otherwise unless
from decapitation: that such an execution
wouid be au outrage on civilization and simply
barbarous. In the interest of humanity and
enlightened civilization, your petitioners would
therefore pray the commutation of such sen
tence to iinprisonmeutlor life."

Concokd, N. H., April 3.?The dam of the

THE LEVEE 8CAJTDAL
IiTMtlvstiif Hoim Employe*.
TESTIMONY IK THE CASK OF MESSES. WARDIB
A>'D STKALKT.
The House committee on Civil Service reform
yesterday began the Investigation ordered by
Mr. Browne's resolution, concerning the charges
that Mr. Warder and Mr. Stealey, employes of
the House, had received money ($1,250) for get
ting an appropriation for levees at Jefferson*
vllle, Indiana, included in the river and harbor
bill last year. Mr. John M. Glass, who made tbe
charges, was examined and tola what he said
be understood to be facta about tbe raisins; of
money in JefPersonville; but in reply to enqui
ries said he had no personal knowledge that the
money had been sent, or, if sent, bad been cor
ruptly used. It was a matter of notoriety and
common talk in Jeffersonvllle, however.
MR. GLASS CROSS-EXAMINED TO-DAY.
Mr. John M. Glass, who made the charges
against Assistant Doorkeeper Warder and Mr.
Stealey, now being investigated by the House
civil service committee, was subjected to a
rigid rross-ezamination to-day by Mr. E. John
Ellis and Mr. Phil. Thompson, counsel for the
defendants. He was questioned closely as to his
campaign for the mayoralty with the view of
showing that be was led to make the charges on
account of political disappointments. He said
he was not a candidate for re-election, aud that
he supported the regular nominee. He was
asked if the money expended, $1,250, had
not been raised openly in the city to be used
to assist in securing the appropriation for Jef
fersonville.
His answer was that the matter was generally
discussed in the city. The counsel thus brought
out that tbe money had been raised openly by
some of tbe best citizens of the place, and that
part of it was given by the city council. It was
then developed that another committee had
been appointed at tbe same time and money ap
propriated for the reliei of the city sufferers by
the flood had been used to pay their expenses to
come to Washington to assist in securing tbe
appropriation for the river improvement. It
was further shown by the cross-examination
that the question had figured in their political
contests.
Witness said that different opinions had been
expressed by various people. lie had heard that
tbe money was to be used in some way to in
fluence Congress. He had heard later that it
was used to pay a lawyer for services. He did
not know how this was.
A JEFFERSONVILLE COUNCILMAN EXAMINED.
A. O. Scbuler, formerly a member of the Jef
fersonville city council, testified that he had
written to Mr. Warder, by direction of the
levee committee, soliciting his advice in the
matter of securing an appropriation for the
levees, and had received a reply from Mr.
Warder to the effect that he had retained coun
sel lor that purpose, who was to be paid
$250 as a retainer and $1,000 when the appro
priation was secured. All but oue member of
the council bad approved that action, and by
its authority $2o0 was paid from the city
treasury. Mayor Glass hau refused to pay the
additional $1,000 when called upon to do so,
and witness bad drawn up a note lor the amount
which he had signed by himself aud
seven other citizens aud forwarded the money
to Mr. Warder. He had been informed that
the note was afterwards paid by the city. Mr.
Warder had told witness tho name of the at
torney (which he could not remember) aud had
said thai he held receipts for the money. Had
never said or intimated that tbe money was to
be used corruptly aud had never sent any
money to Mr. Stealey.

THE SCHOOL BOARD BILL.
CltlMM* CNialttM ?? Cvnfer
A|?1b with Ike ComnlnU
various suggestions kadi at a imtmo
OF THE COMXITTEB last SIGHT?AMEKD
**sw TO THE BILL TO BB RBOOMMENDKD.
"We have come together," said Chief Justloe
Cartter In calling to order a meeting of the
citizens' committee on legislation for the public
schools, held at the Ebbitt House last evening,
"among other things, to see if we cannot effect
a conjunction between the Commissioners aud
the people. By some strange accident?it must
be an accident?there is a want of consonance
between the people and the District Commis
sioners." He advised that the oommittee
should meet the Commissioners and let them
know that they did not Intend or desire to
take from them any powers. The Commission
ers ought to be satisfied with the omnipotent
power of making the administrators of tbe
schools and of unmaking them. Among the
members of the committee present were Dh
Robert Reyburn, vice chairman; James C.
Dulin, secretary; Lewis Baar, Cbapln Brown,
Win. Henry Browne, Rev. Dr. Johu Chester, A.
M. Clapp, 8. C. Clarke, C. P. Culver, Henry N.
Copp, E. G. Davis, Wm. C. Dodge, Rev. 8. Domer,
L. S. Emery, Rev. D. W. Fan nee, Reginald Fen
dall, Robt W. Fenwick, John T. Given, Chas. E.
Hovey, Rev. Geo. O. Little, Bonj. G. Lovejoy,
Rev. A. F. Steele,Wm. J. Stephenson, Hawkins
Taylor, John L.Vogt, George White and Simon
Wolf.
Judge Cartter stated that the oommittee en
trusted with that duty had presented to Con
gress tbe resolutions adopted at tbe public
meeting of citizens, and the Senate had had
them printed.
AMISDMKXT8 SUGGESTED.
Mr. Hovey said that it bad been suggested
that the bill now pending might be amended in
some particulars. Mr. Wm. A. Gordon bad
called hts attention to the fact that it did not
provide for the removal ol unsatislactory
trustees. Mr. Gordon suggested that if it was
intended to vest the power in tbe Commis
sioners to remove trustees, it should be so
stated in the bill. Mr. Gordon thought that
after the clause authorizing the Commissioners
to appoint trustees there should be added the
words: "And may remove the same, or any of
them, at pleasure."' Mr. Hovey said also that
Mr. Anthony Hyde had'suggested an amend
ment providing that the names ol buildings
now named aiter living persons should be
changed. He spoke also of the desirability of I
inserting the word "janitors" among those
enumerated to be appointed by the school
board, in order to prevent future misunder
standing.
Mr. Hawkln? Taylor suggested to leave these
small matters to the committees that presented
the bill to Congress.
Judge Cartter asked if Mr. Taylor considered
the matter of removal a small matter.
Mr. Taylor said that, on the contrary, he con
sidered it so large a matter that he was not
prepared to vote tor it then.
Resolutions presented by Mr. Hovey were
adopted, providing lor the appointment
ol the following committees: An executive
committee, consisting of seven members, in
cluding the vice chairman, the secretary and
the treasurer as members ex-officlo; a home
committee, ol fiteen members, to coufer with
the Commissioners and request their co-opera
tion in securing the passage of the citizens bill,
aud two committees, ot fifteen members each,
to confer with the Scuate and House District
committees, respectively.
THE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMISSIONERS.
During the discussion on these resolutions
Dr. Domer suggested that if the Commissioners
agreed with them It might be unnecessary to
appoiut committees to confer with the congres
sional committees.
Mr. Browne said that if the Commissioners
Co-operated with them, and he uudei-stood they
protiably would, as the ooard wus now consti
tuted they ouuht still to have a working com
mittee. liie Commissioners had all they could
do with other matters.
Mr. Hovey called attention to the fact that it
was getting late in the session. A delay of two
or three weeks waiting for tne Commissioners
to act might prevent the bill's passiug at this
session. It the Commissioners would help he
would be glad ol it; if tiiey did not they pro
posed to pass thCbill over their heads. If the
District committees did not tavur It they pro
posed to go iulo the House and inmate and pass
me bill over the heads of the committees. It
v.as the general reeling, lie believed, ihut this
people s t/ili jiius! be passed. He thought tUey
should move right aiong, aud mat these com
mittees should go to wort.
THE POWER OF REMOVAL
Judge Cartter favored passing a resolution
recommending an amendment to the bill, us
suggested by Mr. Gordon, giving the Commis
sioners specific power to remove trustees. "1
tnink that with that change,' he said, "our
City i.?tliers wiu be reconciled to it, inasmuch
as they cannot have any n:orepower than thut.
i think it will be well to recommend i: now and
here, on our own volition una not under stress
oi weather. ' iie suggested that the words "at
pleasure' weie unnecessary. "Xhereisu t any
pleasure in removing a man,'" he said, "unless
there is mulice in it.' A resolution was adopted
favoring the proponed amendment with the
words "at pleasure" omiticd. Alter some dis
cussion a resolution proposing to amend the
bid by inserting the word "Janitors," as sug
gested, was adopted.
Rev. Mr. Steele suggested that the committee
that waited upon the Commissioners, address
themselves especially to two points, which the
Commissioners urged in reference to the school
board. First, the harmony or want of barmouy
tnui would exist in the board; aud 'Jd, the mat
ter of tint concentration of powers in school
inauuginienL Commissioner Edmonds had
faid to nlni plainly that he was in favor of a
concentration of powers in school manage
ment as in tiie police aud lire departmenL
Commissioner Webb had spoken oi the lack of ,
uarniuuy iu the hoard.
THE NAMES OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
? Mr. Hovey called up the matter ol the amend
ment suggested by Mr. Authouy Hyde respect
lug the names of school buildings, aud moved a
resolution i ^commending it.
Mr. Fendaii, iu the course of some remarks on
this subject, said that this was intended, he be
lieved, to gel the name ott from a curtain build
ing, and tuey of course did not waut to put It
iu tne form oi an order specifying the particular
building.
Dr. Domer favored doiug away with names
altogether, aud using numoers instead.
Dr. Fauuce suggested that it was a mistake
to take any such action. Would not the Con
gressional committees think there were some
private feuds hehiud it?
Judge Cartter thought It was a very small
matter.
ou motion of Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Hovey's
motion was laid on the table.
GIVE THE TEACHERS A CHANCE.
Rev. Mr. Little suggested that the teachers
should be given some way to show that they
were in favor ol the bill.
Mr. Culver said he had conversed with 25 or
3o teachers, and he had yet to find one who
was not heartily In lavor of the bill.
"it would be a good idea," said Judge Cart
ter, "for them to get together and say so."

PRESIDENT FLEMINGS STATEMENT OF TUB
CASS.
"I am opposed to this movement," said Mr.
Robert I. Fleming, who has Just been elected
president of the Master Builders' association,
"lor several reasons. I believe that it is ill oon"
sldered and unwise. It is ill considered because
the effects that will legitimately follow are not
known and cannot be known until after the
experiment bos been made. It is unwise
because it checks work, raises the oost of living
and will have a bad effect upon the laboring'
classes. The Injury that has been done to the
building trade in this city already can hardly
be calculated. At present there Is nothing

**"olher tyrannous feature about
this circular, cont.nued .Mr. Fleming,- and
thu is the provision which obliges the hocjes to
pa> ail tne men three dollars a day, without
regard to their ability. Noxv, there are sTune
men who are not mucu belter than apprentices,
aud do not earn two dollars a dav. But tne
unions are unwilling to make any distinction
but ail men are graded alike. 1 am opposed to
this, and Deiieve in a system of trrades accord
ing to skill, and having a scale oi wages to cor
respond. However, these matters I have men
tioned simply to show you that the unions de
maud at this time more man merely the ebrht
hour day, and on acc >uut oi what is considered
tneir extortionate demands, tne bosses have
organized. I don't ttnnk that 1 will be w ithout
authority when I say that at our meetiug a
policy oi resistance to tbeeigblrhour movement
will be adopted. We will not give the eight-hour
day. Our shops will be open and we will em
ploy men lor a ten-hour day at ten hour? wanes,
but we will reluse to employ them under any
other terms. Work in this District will stop and
there will be a general lockout. All this wll
be done with the Kindest feelings in the wor d
workingmen, continued Mr. Fleming
1 here is no place in the country where thtTv
receive higher wages, and our season here is
very long, so that no wonder every vear work
ingmeu are attracted here from all parts ol the
couutrj .1 here is no place where they tet more
aorkand as good wages. There is, however
one concession that may be made. Hereioiore a
nine-hour d^r has prevailed from Novemlier
1st to March 1st with nine hours pay. We will
probably be willing to give ten hours pay all
the year around. With this exception 1 am ?i
the opiujon that we will preseut a united front
in opposition to the eiglii-hour day with ten
hours pay."
BCILDEB LAWQLBY'S VIEWS.
Mr. Langley, ot the firm ol l^augley & Get
tluger, In talking over this matter said that
he thought it could be said that at a moderate
calculation at least one million dollars worth of
work had been stopped that would have gjue
?,n " t^l,ad uot for this eight hour agita
tiou. ihe boss builders, of course, suiiered
great.y. *i ins was the tune," he said "when
they ought to be niakiu; meir Oon tracts aud
stai'ling the buildings, but they are compelled
to sit down wltn idle hands aud see the season
go past. Oi course, very few people are going
to build as long a? the uncertainty lasts, and ii
they tiud that thecosiof building nas advanced
to any extent they will not huiiu at all."
Me said that the circular issued to tiie bosses
was a very unjust one and could not be carried
into effect. He objected to the prohibition
placed ou the hours from four to stx aud the
one gnideol wages for alL He thought that
both of these provisions were unwise, if tne
edort was persisted in to establish the eiahu
hour day, be thought that the only remedy was
to shut up the snops and bring building to a
stand-still. He saw no reasou why the work
ingmen here should be paid so much tuore
than they are In other cities. The scale of
wages is Already greater, and yet it is proposed
to make a still greater increase.
THB CIRCULAR BEST TO THB BOSSES.
The following is the circular above reterred to,
which was sent to all the master builders, bear
ing the seal of Carpenters' Union, No. 1:
