desirable condition precedent of a settlement speedy, just and final, it is deemed by the citizens of St. Louis, without rogard to party, in mass-meeting assembled. a wise, politic and practicable way to relieve the conflicting parties of all embarrassment as to surrendering any rights hitherto held and thns far maintained by both parties, to proffer meditation, through and by the residents of the eity of St. Louis, and thus remove -11 objections- to, or friction from, any nonresident agencies, whether upon the part of capital or labor; and. Whereas, We believe that such mediation would meet the views and purposes of speedy and just settlement as expressed by General Master Workman Powderly, and also remove the barriers to conference .s avowed by the railway management, and would thus give the opportunity for the hitherto employed laborers of the roads—-residents of the city—to represent and come to an understanding and settlement of their grievances; therefore, Resolved. With a view of the mutual understanding and settlement of the whole questions at issue, that a committee of the citizens of St. Louis be appointed, three from the resident directors of the railways in interest, three from the resident employes, present or recent, of the railways, to lie selected by the unemployed, and three discreet and recognized representatives of the mercantile, manufacturing and professional elements of the city, in no wise connected or intet ested with the railway or labor organizations, who shall be authorized by their respective interests to meet, confer, and arrange with binding effset the existing troubles; and for that purpose we hereby empower the committee hereby authorized and appointed dy this meeting to act with full power to suggest, to confer with and secure the appointment from both the resident directory of the railways and the resident laborers a conferring committee or three from each; and to report their action and ths results to an adjourned meeting, to be called by the chairman of this meeting for that purpose. Brief speeches were then made by Fred M. Cranden, on behalf of the citizens, and by Mr. Brown, the orator of the Knights of Labor, who is here with the general executive committee, both of whom very strongly urged the carrying out of the resolutions, and advocated the use of every proper and available means to bring about a speedy settlement of the difficulties and differences between the railroad companies and their employes. Mr. Brown spoke quite briefly, but the tone of his remarks was very conservative, and he said that the Knights would freely join in any reasonable means which promised an equitable and just settlement of the trouble now existing. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. The following gentlemen were selected to represent the citizens: Prof. CL M. Woodward, of Washington University; James Bannerman, a prominent merchant, and M. O. Nelson, a large manufacturer. The Strikers* Bill of Complaints. St. Louis, April 13.—The national executive committee of the Knights of Labor has been collecting reports of alleged violations by the Missouri Pacific company of the agreement of March, 1885, to present to any arbitration committee that may be appointed or to the congressional committee appointed under the Curtin resolution. The following general bill of comnlaints has been drawn up by the Knights of Labor: 1. In many cases the September wages never •\'dre restored, as the agreement of March, 1885, i rovided. 2. Section foremen were reduced $5 per mouth without any notice. 3. Boiler-makers were sent out on the road from Denison and allowed only one-half time while traveling. 4 Engine wipers in round-houses were reduced from $1.26 to $1.15 per day. 5. The car foreman at Fort Worth was reduced $lO a month, and then had to do the work es two men, for which the company had previously paid double what they paid him. 6. The foreman in the mill at De Soto was reduced $lO a month, without notice. 7. Carmen at Parsons, Kan., was reduced About $lO per month without notice. 8. Many men worked over the entire system eleven and twelve hours a day for $1.15, without anything for overtime, and on Sunday the same long hours for the same sum —$L 15— without pay for overtime. 9. Men were discharged on no other ground than that they had taken part in the strike of 1885, and new men were employed at less wages In their places. A systematic method of discharging in detail and replacing with cheaper men was being carried out, which, if allowed to go on, would have resulted in bringing the men back to the reduction basis against which they struck in 1885. 11. Stockyard men at Sedalia have frequently worked twenty-four hours on a stretch, and have never received any pay for -overtime. They have generally worked ten hours, and have averaged fifteen hours a day. 12. Bridge-building gangs in Sedalia and Washinton have not received extra pay for traveling at night, or working in water, or working overtime. 13. Section hands have been paid sl.lO per day, and during the winter are allowed to make only three days’ work. Os the men at and about Sedalia most have to live and support families on this. $3.30 a week. 14. The wages of some shopmen at Sedalia are less than those paid to some shopmen at other points. The wages of some were cut and never restored after the agreement.

The Boycott Against Gould. New York, April 13.—Regarding the threatened boycott of Jay Gould by the Central Labor Union, Robert Blissert, the labor agitator, said yesterday: “Just as John Brown’s death was the first -ath in the Rebellion, so the deaths of these nocent people in East St. Louis are the first • the new rebellion that is sure to come. Neo slavery had to go after John Brown died. - hite slavery has to go, and go it will. We un’t burn down Jay Gould’s bouse, for labor ouilt it. We must build, rather than destroy. But the boycott is a weapon more silent and more effective than fire, and wo shall see if Gould can withstand it The strikers are going to be well supported by us. At the clothes-cut-ters' meeting, on Saturday, each man was assessed $1 a week for them, and we have 1,500 members. 1 think the men who had proposed an assessment less than $1 would have been thrown out of the window. The St Louis men are not fighting for themselves only, but for us, and we owe it to them to support them and theirs, though we go hungry." • day Gould was asked if he had discovered in what way the members of the Central Labor Union proposed to boycott him. He replied that he had not, and confessed that he was rather curious to know. Looking down at his clothes, he remarked: “I have worn this suit two winters, and I guess I can get along with it a while longer if the tailors boycott me. Then, you know, I raise almost everything I eat on my place at Irvington, so I needn't be alarmed about getting food.” He added that he could not see by what process of reasoning any one could hold bim responsible for the strike at East St. Louis and its results. “I have no property ou that side of the river,” said he, “no interest in any, and no part iu tho management of any of the roads centering there.” Coal Miners Not Inclined to Strike. St. Louis, April 13. —The apprehended strike ©f the miners of the St Louis district is still an ©vent of the future. It was reported yesterday In Collinsville, 111, that the miners in that district had quit work, but it was afterwards learned that this was untrue. The miners of that district met last night, together with the employes of the zinc works and the press-brick works, and formed a thorough organization. Kothing was done pointing in the direction of a strike. Neither is there any immediate danger of the men in the Belleville district going out. A meeting of miners was held near West Belleville on Sunday, at wbioh it was resolved not to suspend operations at present. They are disposed to continue work until May 1, and await the reult of the district convention to be held at Spring field on that day. Coal was got out as •>ual at a number of mines in the vicinity of , Belleville, but some mines were compelled to -aspend operations temporarily, owing to the&bonce of railroad facilities for getting their output to market Representative Knights of Labor from Staunton visited Edwardsville on Saturday for the purpose of inducing miners to •trike, but the men, who have regular work there, are satisfied with their present prices, and did not yield. A LaSalle, 111, telegram says: "Messrs. Ben nett, Mahoney and Rogers, the State executive committee of the Knight of Labor, were in LaBalls to-day, and with Secretary French, whose residence is here, held a secret meeting during the forenoon. They bad expected to hold another meeting in the afternoon, at which it was expected C. B. Fenton, of Danville, also a

member of the committee, would be presont. At 1 o'clock, however, they unexpectedly left for East St Louis, Mr. Fenton not making his appearance in the city.'' Firemen’s Grievances Will Be Settled. St. Louis, April 13. —Grand Master Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, yesterday continued his investigation into the grievances of his discha god men on the Gould system, and last night f jund himself prepared to say that the grievances would be redueed and that there was no probability of a strike of the Aremen. The Grand Master said: “The whole matter is just as good as settled already, and there will be no more trouble about the grievances after we get them in shape and present them. My talks with Mr. Hoxie and Mr. Kerrigan to-day were very satisfactory.” “Through what process do you take the grievances now?” “The general grievance committee I have called will meet at Parsons, and I will appoint a committee from its members, which will come here with me, take charge of these St. Louis and Sedalia discharges, and present the cases of the men to Superintendent Kerrigan. They will be disposed of in the right way, 1 am confident.” THE EAST ST. LOUIS SHOOTING. The Killing of Thompson—Another Man Dead and Two More Certain to Die. St. Louis, April 13.— An inquest was commenced this morning by Coroner Niddlet on the body of C. H. Thompson, who was killed on the bridge on Friday last, after the shooting by deputy sheriffs in the yards of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. The nine deputy sheriffs now confined in this city were taken from the jail to the morgue and sworn over the dead body, and the inquest then proceded. T. G. Hewlett was the first witness. He said he was special agent for the Louisville & Nashville railroad, and had also been sworn in as a deputy sheriff. He was not positive that he recognized the body, but felt satisfied that he had seen the man while he and other deputies were crossing the bridge for St Louis. The party was stopped by a man who claimed to be Mayor Joyce, of East St. Louis, who wanted to arrest and take them back to East St Louis, but they broke away and started across the bridge. After they had gone a short distance the witness saw the deceased fire two shots at them from behind a lamp post The shots were returned by somebody in his party, but he did not know how many were fired nor by whom. Charles Kristler, known as the “Cowboy,” one of the deputy sheriffs, testified that they started across the bridge on Friday to procure protection on this side of the river. They were met at the east end of the bridge by a man who, they were told, was Mayor Joyce. Joyce said he wanted the leader of the crowd—that he wanted to kill him. He then grabbed a rifle from one of the men to strike Hewlett, but another deputy caught the weapon as it was coming down and took it from him. Joyce then drew a revolver, and Hewlett said to him: “For God’s sake, don’t shoot; you may be killed!” Joyce then grappled with Laird, one of the deputies, but the latter broke loose, and they all started across. Joyce banded his pistol to a tall man with side whiskers, who stepped behind a lamp-post, and fired three shots at the deputies; the witness, after the man had fired the second shot, returned the fire with his rifle, just as the man fired his third shot. The witness did not see the man drop, but he was quite positive that the body in the morgue was that of the man who did the shooting; he was almost certain that he heard some other deputy fire a shot, but he did not know who did it. He bad seen the man who fired at them on the east side of the river, before, with Mayor Joyce.

Mayor Joyce then testified. He said he had tried to hold the "assassins” on the east side of the bridge only long enough to send word to the authorities on this side of the river. He had heard of the shooting, and ran to the bridge to head them off. He had a tussle with them and tried his best to hold them, but they got away. They said he could not offer them protection, and he said he could. He had not been in possession of a rifle during his trouble with the men on the bridge. He had seen a statement that he bad given his revolver to a man to shoot at them. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said the witness, “never in my life did I carry a revolver. I use the weapons nature gave me, and that is all.” If he had had a revolver on that occasion he might have used it. .Some of the deputies had hit him with their rifles on his shoulder and arm, paralyzing his arm and forcing him to let go the hold he had on two of the deputies. He showed an enormous discolored mark on his upper left arm, and said the blow on his shoulder was even worse. He did not remember having over seen the man whose body now lay in the morgue. He did not see what wa3 going on behind him, but heard some shots fired from near him. One of the men had pointed a rifle at him, and while he had hold of the two deputies he had a hard rime to keep the others from shooting him. It had been stated by the “assasins” that he had been drunk on Friday. He had not taken a drink on Friday. His only object in stopping the deputies was to arrest them. Police Officer John Dowd, of East St Louis, corroborated tbe above, and added that when the deputies got away they fired several shots. When they got half way over the deputies fired a whole volley of shots at them. He and the Mayor bad to take shelter behind wagons until the firing ceased. The witness never saw the man whose body is in the morgue. There were two shots fired from the gathering of which he and Mayor Joyce were a part. There wore no other men there except a few bridge employes. Mayor Joyce did not hand a revolver to any one. Neither witness nor the Mayor had revolvers, and It was probably good for the deputies that they had not. Testimony was takhn during the afternoon, and late in the night the jury rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death by a bullet fired by some unknowu person amongst tbe posse of men composed of deputy sheriffs, trackmen and clerks, on the east end of the St. Louis bridge, whilst they were fleeing from East St Louis to this city, and that the shotting was not justified. The East St. Louis inquest also terminated this evening, and the jury found a verdict that the victims of the shooting on Friday last came to their deaths from gunshot wounds inflicted by pistols or rifles in the hands of certain deputy sheriffs (mentioning their names), and holding them jointly responsible for their deaths. It was also announced that Jame3 Scollard, who was wounded in Friday’s shooting, died last night in the St Louis Hospital It was decided to have the body brought over to East. St Louis and viewed by the jurors. Three other persons wounded on Friday are not expected to live. THE TROY SCHOOL CHILDREN, A Strike for Shorter Sessions, Accompanied by Intimidation—Police Called Out Troy (N. Y.) Special. It remains for Troy to furnish the only quaint and humorous strike of the many that have taken place this spring. Without any previous intimation of their feelings on the subject, between 8,000 and 9,000 school children have suddenly developed a taste for striking that bids fair to run from comedy into something more serious. To-day, about 11:30 o’clock, in the Eleventh-ward school, the pupils in each department except the primar grades, sent a delegation of three of their number to the teachers in charge with the demand that shorter sessions be made the rule at once. The demand went further, and said the session must in future be a continuous one, from Ba. m. to 1 p. m. each day, with an intermission at 11 o’clock. The schools of tbe city are divided into two sessions—from 9 A. M. to 12. and from 1:15 to 4 p. M. Tbe weather becoming fine, the pupils conceived the idea of asserting their rights and in- , sisting upon less hours. They had, it was learned later, talked the situation up among themselves. Those who hesitated were threatened with punishment at the hands of the others, and about 80 per cent of the whole attendance agreed to leave their seats and march

out of the school if the teachers refused to do as requested. When the demand was made this morning the teachers with one accord enthusiastically threw cold water on the trio of chubbyfaced urchins constituting the committee, and ordered them to their seats under penalty of a severe w hipping. The scholars closed their books and waited for the signal to leave the room. For a second time the teachers were informed that the scholars meant business. The juveniles were, as before, told to go and sit down and resume their studies. Instead of doing so they marched to the ward rooms, took their hats, and with a shout of delight left the school-room. Almost every pupil, boys and girls, followed suit, and as this occurred within a few minutes in every room in the Eleventh-ward school the teachers were left dumfounded at their desks, at a loss to explain how such a piece of insubordination had been brought about. Outside the school-house the children yelled and hooted, and pandemonium reigned. The strikers ranged in ages from nine to fourteen years, and the girlß were in the majority. They made more noise if anything than their boy companions, and shouts of “Give us shorter hours,” and “We ain’t goin’ to stay in there all day,” were heard on every hand. The janitor of the building, an old man named Dewer, was sent for, and he appeared and scolded the children soundly for the disturbance they were creating. He told them they must either go home or re-enter the school-house and submit to punishment His remarks were received with shouts of derision, and mud and stones were mercilessly thrown at him. He attempted to chase the children away, but the overpowering numbers proved his defeat, and he was driven into the school-house, covered with mud and bruises from small stones whirled at him by the youngsters. He made two or three dashes at the “young idea” represented by the noisy crowd, and was each time repulsed, until he was forced to shut and lock the door after him. A police officer who attempted to drive the children home was laughed at for his pains, and he had the humiliating satisfaction of standing by while the scholars threw great chunks of mud at the janitor every time his face appeared at the window. The war waged thus fiercely for half an hour, not one of the teachers daring to come out of the school-house. At 11 o'clock the entire reserve of the First ?recinct was called out and sent to the scene. he officers made a bold front and scattered the riotous strikers in every direction. Nothing daunted, they returned to the fight strengthened by a large number of spectators and other children not in attendance upon that school. Some of the oldest boys braced up to the policemen and said: “You go away and leave us alone. This is our fight, and if you bother us we’ll fix you.” It took nearly half an hour for the reserve to clear the streets adjoining the school-house, and then quiet was not restored, for the children gathered in groups and noisily discussed the aspeot of affairs. Most of them W6re afraid to go to their parents, but when the dinner hour Arrived their hunger got the better of them, and they dispersed to tbeir homes. While this scene was being enacted in the Eleventh ward the pupils of the First ward school were working the same scheme. About 60 per cent, of the scholars went out at a given signal, but uo assault was committed, as the provocation was wanting. As the knowledge of the affair became known throughout the city this afternoon it furnished the topic for a general discussion of the remarkable proceeding Fathers who first learned of it while returning from the workshop or the office made a careful canvass as soon as they reached their firesides, and it is safe to say that never in the history of the city were so many children swung across the parental knee and chastised in the good old way at one time. A wail of indignant pain went up from thousands of throats, and more stomachs went early to bed a stranger to the evening meal than ever before. Notwithstanding the damper put on them, the juvenile strikers are confident of winning. Before 6 o’clock this evening scouts were sent out all over the city making recruits to enter into a general revolt to be inaugurated to morrow. The scholars who have not as yet joined the army of strikers are notified that they must do so or take a severe licking on their way home. The unruly element is in the majority, and the outcome is awaited with not a little interest. Parents are in despair in many instances, for their children are out at all hours to-night perfecting their plans and arranging for picket duty to-morrow. The Board of it cannot now grant the scholars what they wish without destroying the discipline of the schools. The teachers of the Eleventh and First wards were this afternoon eiven a half holiday, and the principals in each school were directed to punish the ringleaders of the novel movement

THE DEBATE IN THE COMMONS. [Concluded from First Page.] had borne with exemplary patience sufferings of the most grievous character, and was it to be supposed that such things could have been without leaving any trace or mark on the character of the people! Having defended and justified his previous reference to analogies for what he proposed, as in the case of Sweden and Norway, and Austria and Hungary, Mr. Gladstone proceeded to argue that the fundamental fear of those who had attacked the home rale measure was that the Irish people would necessarily do wrong; that the administration of the country would necessarily be changed. In regard to Mr. Goschen’s remark concerning America, Mr. Gladstone said it was true that the Northern States had carried their point “But,” he added, “when they had the South at their feet what did they dol They gave to every Southern State a measure of autonomy. [Loud Parnellite cheers.] Such a measure we are about to ask for Ireland.” In regard to the questions as to the power of veto proposed by the bill, he stated that there was no limitation to that proposition, and in reference to the income tax, that would necessarily be separate in Ireland as it would be in England. Os the bill generally, he said it proposed to give to the Irish people a reasonable satisfaction of their demands without imitating the example set by a former government in the case of America. The wants of Ireland were to be considered in relation to the fact whether it wonld be harmful to others than them if it were granted. He ridiculed the fear that had been expressed as to further demands on the part of the Irish members if this bill were passed; and as to the question of there having been no mandate for this measure, he contended that, inasmuch as there had been no mandate for coercion, or for maintaining the law, so no mandate was necessary for a proposal to strengthen the means of maintaining the law. He compared the criticisms on the bill, and pointed out that no one speech agreed with another, and, speaking of the measure as a plan, he remarked that it might be improved; but, at any rate, it held the field open for a substitute. A motion that leave be given to introduce the bill was put by the Speaker and agreed to without a division, amid protracted and enthusiastic cheers. Mr. Gladstone stated that the second reading of the bill would be fixed for the sixth of May. Mr. Gladstone spoke for an hour. He made no further proposals looking to a modification of the Irish bill. His most significant declaration was that he had never regarded the exclusion of the Parnellite* from the House as a vital principle of the bill. He had said that the present Irish representation could not continue, but that the exclusion of the Irish members must be the voluntary work of Irishmen themselves. SUICIDE OF AN EARL. The Son of a Famous Philanthropist Takes His Life While Riding in a Cab. Suicide of the Earl of Shaftesbury. London, April 13.—The Earl of Shaftesbury killed himself this afternoon. He was in a cab, riding through Regent street, when he took his life. He drew a revolver and discharged the contents of its several chambers into his person. The corpse was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital. The suicide was fifty-four years of age. He was the eighth Earl of Shaftesbury, succeeding on October 1, 1885, to the title on the death of his father, who was the noted philanthropist. He leaves a widow (Lady Harriet, daughter of the third Marchioness of Donegal.) The Earl had lately been unwell and complained of mental depression. Earl Shaftesbnry fired the first shot at his right temple, but missed his aim. The cabman descended from his seat and refused to proceed further, as he feared he would he shot. Earl Shaftesbury tried to persuade him to continue the drive, and offered him a five-pound note, but the cabman was immovable. A constable who had heard the shot fired approached the cab at this moment, when Shaftesbury fired again, the ball taking effect in the temple. The constable, seeing that he was about to fire, tried to seize his arm, but failed. Earl Shaftesbury was driven in haste to a hospital. He did not speak after the shooting, and died ten minutes after his arrival.
