INFORMATION AS TO POSTMASTERS WANTED. Mr, Ingalls offered a resolution calling on the Postmaster General to inform the Senate whether he had recefyed a resolution of the Senate passed on March 4th which asked as to the number of fourth class postmasters re- moved since 4th March, 1485, ana, if the reso- lution had been received, why it hud not been answered and when a response might be ex- pected. ‘Mr. Ingalls said that eighteen days had elapsed since the adoption of the resolution, and as it merely culled tor the “number” of such postmasters, and did not call for names for other particulars ot detail, it_ merely re- quired a computation irom the official regis- ters, which he (Mr. Ingalls) thought might be done in two or three days at the utmost.

LOGAN'S ARMY BILL, ‘The chair laid before the Senate Mr. Logan's bill to increase the efficiency of the army. Mr, Logan, at the suggestion of the Secretary of War, moved for some further amendments of detail Co the bill and they were agreed to, Mr. Hale then moved to strike out the second section, which provides for a future force of 30,000 enlisted men in the army, and argued that the existing force of 25,000 men was a sul- ficient army to protect the frontier, all the army had to do. Mr. Morrill said our population had increased by ubout 12,000,000 people since 1874, and if we had had sufficient men at the right places atthe outbreak of the Indian wars referred to those wars would probably not have occurred. Mr, Morrill favored, the increase to 30,000 men and opposed Mr. Ha§e’s motion, Mr. if Mr, Hale could get a letter from ian, Gen. Sherman, Gen. ‘Terry or any leading otficer of the army, stating that 25,000 men was enongh for our army, he (Mr. Logan) would agree to withdfaw the proposition to increase the army. ‘The proposition to Increase was not owing io any apprended danger trom Indians or others, butit was that the government of the United States might have an army ot some respecta- bility. 1t was not unnatural for the navy to desire a reduction of the army so that larger appropriations might be got for the navy.

DEFEATED BY MEXICANS, HE SURRENDERS TO LIEUT, MAUS, U. 8. A.—THE MEXICANS CLAIM HIM AS THEIR PRISONER. A report comes from Tombstone, Arizona, that Geronimo and his band have surrendered to Lieut. Maus, According to the report, Friday afternoon, about ten miles south of San Bernar- dino, the Apache camp was attacked by Mexi- cans, and a hot skirmish ensued, during which two Apaches were killed and the forces of Ge- ronimo completely routed. Geronimo and his band fled in the direction of Maus’ camp for safety, and there made an unconditional sur render. The Mexican troops followed them across ‘the line into Maus’ camp, demanding them as. prisoners and claiming that the fight occurred on Mexican soil, and the victory was theirs. Lieut. Maus refused to give the prison- ets up, Which’ probably incensed the Mexicans, who threatened to take the prisoners by force Gen. Crook was hourly expected to arrive in camp, but atiast accounts had not yet come. ‘Two dispatches from Lieut. Maus have been re- ceived at Mud Spring apply ‘The situation is eritical WHAT 18 SAID AT THE WAR DEPARTMENT, No information of the reported surrender of the Apaches has been received at the War de- partment, and the story will not be believed until a report is received trom Gen. Crook, who must have arrived at Lieut. Maus’ camp, at San Bernardino, by this time, to receive the surrender of Geronimo and his followers. Itis known that the Apaches were encamped several days 2go on Mexican soll, about 25 miles trom San Bernardino, waiting tor four bucks to come in from tle mountatus, So that they could surrender in a body upon Gen. Crook’s arrival. ‘They may have been attacked there by the Mexicans and followed by them across the border. The Mexicans could pursue them as hostiles across the bor- der, according to treaty stipulations, but would have no right to claim them ifthey were in possession ‘of United States troops. If the Apaches did come into Lieut. Maus’ camp, War department officials have no idea that that officer would give them up, or that the Mexi- cans would dare fire on his command. if the report is correct, they regard it as a settlement ofall difticuluies, tor the hostiles will be in the possession of U.S. troops, without any compli- cations or conditions. In view of the conttict- ing unofficial reports received before from Arizous about the hostiles, this one Is received with plenty of sait. ne eee. “Uncle Daniel's Story.” THE ANONYMOUS NOVEL WHICH IS ATTRIBUTED TO SENATOR LOGAN. e The New York Star yesterday published sev- eral columsot extracts from a new novel that has appeared without the author's name, under the title of “Uncle Daniel's Story,” which the Star states was written by Senator Logan.

Several chapters are devoted to an organization in the northern states Known as the “Knights of the Golden Circle.” Bowen, Strider, Valamburg and others are accused of collusion with the armed foes of the Union and with co-operation with them in various plots, It is implied that these men were in communication with Vice President Johnson, had an understanding with him as to his policy in ease President Lincoinwas Temoved ana that the assassination of Lincoln, was due in some measure to this understanding, Gen, McGregor is accused of forbearing to tollow up his victory at Antietam for fear ot crippling the power of the south.

Mr. Hoxie’s Propositions Not Satisfac- tory to Knights of Labor, NO SETTLEMENT YET. Mr. Hoxie’s Propositi Not Satifact- ory to the Knights of Labor—A Powsi- ble Extension of the Strike t St, Louis, Mo., March 22.—The agreement drawn up by Governors Martin and Marma- duke, of Kansas, and Missouri, respectively, in- tended as a basis for the settlement of the strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad, together with Vice President Hoxie's acceptance of the same, with qualifications, was presented last night to the executive committee of District Assemby No. 101, of the Knights of Labor, The governors cailed in person upon Martin Irons, airman of the committee, and urged the ac- ceptance of the conditions by the committee, which, soon afterwards, was called together to discuss informaily ghe ‘conditions inserted by Mr, Hoxie invo the agreement. No action was taken last night, ‘the matter being dis- cussed in a strictly unofligal way, and, after a long session, the tommittee ad- jJourned until to-d, when the contents °f the documents will’ be formally considered and some decision reached. The manner in which the agreement as received by mem- bers of the committee affords little bope that its conditions will be accepted. Mr. Irons would express no positive opinion as to its acceptance or rejection, and the other members of the executive board were equally loth t) make any statements as to their future course, Enough was ‘ned from them, however, to make the rumor general that they would not accept Mr. Hoxie’s propositions, The strikers object to Ubat portion of it relating to the re-em- ployment of only a portion of the discharged men, and allege tbat, although Mr, Hox! ho prejudice shail exist against strikers, they feel certain that the leaders of the present strike will be discharged from the employ of the company as soon as an opportunity offers, If the efforts of the governors shail fail to bring about a settlement of the preseut differences between the railroad company and its employes the all-absorbing question to the strikers is: How far shall Wwe extend the strike, in the attempt to force the cumpany tw accept our terms? Many express the bellef that the men em- ployed in the other departments of the Mis- seuri Pacific road will be called out,and all traltic—both SS Ireight—obstructed until a settlement shall be reached. Others express the opinion that the strike will be ex- Uended to other roads not now involved, be- ginning with the yardmen employed in bast St. Louis. There ure many, however, who are sanguine ofan icable adjusument of the differences and who believe that the strike will end in a short time, The local situation this morning, so far as the running of trains is concerned, continues in ubout the same condition as tor’ the past three or four day: Suburban trains are not inter- tered with and no altempt has been made to move freight, Although a larger number of strikers than usual are congregated near their accustomed rendezvous eagerly discussing tue situation and the probable prolongation or set- Uement of the strike, No disturbances have as. yet occured. ° WORK OF 4 MOR OF PASKED MEX, Dexisos, TEx. March22—At two o'clock yesterday morning the watclimien at the round house: were surprised by the appearance of about 150 masked men, who commanded them to keep quiet. The watchmen, ten in number, were taken up and carried to the shop office, where a guard was put overthem. They were told to remain where they were quietly, as the masked men came determined to do thelr duty, be the consequences what they might, and that they would not be injured, So the watchmen ‘sat in the office awaiting the result of the affair. Of the mob of 150 meu not one spoke a word except the leader, who, after placing the waten men under guard went to the middle of the turntable, where all could see and hear him, and said: “salen, you know your duty. Do it.” Atw every man broke in the same direc- tion without the Jeast bit of noise. In about tive minates the speaker returned to the office and addressed the watchmen, saying: “Gentie- men, we are much obliged to you for your con- duct, and wish to return our Uhanks. “ You are all at liberty to go about your business, Good morning.” The watchmen stepped out of the office and not a man was in sight or could be heard. They then n le an investigation as to what had been done, The passenger engine that was to ve for Fort Worth Ubis morning at 4 o'clock ts found with steam eock open, The hose was cut, fire dumped out and “killed” entire They tailed to open the water gauge, so the en- gine had enough water to carry her to Whites- boro’, api waile the hands were beating and bringing her to lie again a new hose was put in and in about an bour she steamed ap in the depot and toox outa passenger train that bad laid there all night. In the shops the meu found that a large’ stationary engine had been removed from its place, the water let out of the tan! hose cut, paps removed and en- gines “killed,” so that it will take days to bring them to life again, The damage done to machinery was very great, and it will take some time to repair it, Every masquerader carried a large piece of iron,a brickbat, or something similar, 50 as to be ey tora combat if the watehinen resisted. The wateb- men, seeing the size of the mob, knew it was useless to resist, and so allowed them to do what they would, The celerity and quiet with which the work was done showed that the men had been well trained and instructed. The watchmen have uo idea who they were, and those that wore no masks were Strangers to them. So there is no way of finding out the guilty parties, A THAIN CAPTURED BY Curcaco, March 22,—A special from Omaha says: A Missourl-Pacific ireight train was started outof Omaha yesterday afternoon, At the time the Kuights ‘of Labor were holding a meeting, and one of their men who had been ‘on the watch, rushed into the meeting and in- formed them of the train leaving.
