IFTEENTH YEAR, FORWARD TO THE FINAL FRAY The Giant Fiend Gould and His Monopolies Must Go Down. A CALL FOR DECISIVE ACTION. The Address of the Joint Executive Board of the Knights of Labor to the Workingmen of the World, Labor's Goliah Must Be Slain. 81, Lovis, April 6.—The joint executive board of Assemblies 101, 9 and 17, Knig of Labor, this afternoon issned the follow address to the workingmen of the world: Friends and brothers, near us, for we plead for our rights, ~Men of equity, look upon us, for we striggle against giants of wrong, Mad with the frenzy of prideand self adula* tion, begotten, as it is, of the suceess of out- rage and infamy, there stands before us a glant of regated and - incorporated wealth, “every doflar of whicly is built upon Dblood, injustice and outrage. That giant of corporate wealth has centialized its power in, and is impersonated by an eager fiend, who kloats as hie giinds the life out of his fallow men, and grinaees and dances,as they wiithe upon his mstruments of torture, 0! ye work- ingmen of Awerica, who love your liberty and your native land ye great creators of wealth who stand as the founda- tion of all national good, look upon_ your brothers to-day, Goiild, 'the glant tiend, Gould, the motiey monarch, is dancing, as he claims, over the grave of our order, over the ruin of our homes and blight of our lives. Before him the world has smiled in beauty, but his wake is a graveyard of hopes, a ey- clone path of devastation and death. Our stiongarms have Lrown weary inbuilding his tower of strength, and yet he bids us build on or die. 'Our young lives have grown gray too soon beneath the. strain of our unrequited constant toil; our lovea ones at home are hollow-checked, le with weary w s more than this: Grave vietims from longing ey Byether workmen, this monster fiend has compelled some of s to toil in_ snow and rain for five and thirty centsa day. Others save been compelled to yield their time to “iim for seventecn and thirty-six weary hours sor the pittance of nine hours pay, Others, who have dared to assert their maihood and s yebel azainsthis tyranny, are black-listed and ‘boyeotted all over the land.

Fellow nen, Gould must be over- thrown. His giant power must be broken, or you and [ niust be slaves forever. Knights of Labor alone have dared to be a’ David' to this Golinh, "The battle is not for to-day, the battle is not for to-morrow, but for trooping erations in coming ages of the world—for children andour children’s children, the ure question of the age. Shall we, in coming ages, be a nation of freemen or fon of slaves?’ The question must be decided now. The chains are ady forged thatare to bind us, Shall we wait until they are riveted upon our limbs? N God forbid. Workmen of the world, marshal selyes upon the battle field; every trade and clime, on to the tray. Gould and "his monopolies must zo down or your children must be slaves, Think of the fittle olive plants around your hearthstone thav will “be Dlighted” by its cur Think of the httle home he is seeking to rob you of. Think of the wife from whose eyés he has wrung floods of tears, and from whose heart hehas tortured drops of blood. Who can look calmly upon his "~ pertidy, his, and " his crime? For he sought to incite felony fmmong our rank and file. e has bought perfidy of vile men to entrap the unwary that he might stain_our fair name, and gloat over our misfortunes. Once for all, fellow workmen, arouse! Let every hand that toils be lifted heaven and swear by Him t forever — that these outrages must cease, Let every heart and brow be turned toward our common foe, and let no man grow weary until, like Goliah, our giant our foet, IXECUTIVE BoArps, D, reat Strike. St Lotis, April 6,—The general exeeutive board o1 the Knights of Labor yesterday sent a telegram to Hon. A. G. Curtin, saying that bis vesolution for the appointment of committec to consider the present diflieultic on the Gould southwest system met its hearty approval. They asked for its passag and the immediate presence of the commitiee in St. Louis. After the departure last night of seerefary Turner for the principal strike centers on the Gould southwest system, the remaiming mem- bers of the board announced their unanimous determination to continue the present strike until an arrangement can be entered into with Hoxie restoring all strikers to their for- mer positions, with the exception only of those who participated in the acts of violenee gud destiuction of. propety since the siriio began. This is a decided ad e from the position they held Saturday before the. con- erence with Hoxie, They were then willing 10 assent to an agreement which would r store the strikers to those positions whieh were not then oceupied by new wen, but Hoxie's refusal to aceept even these deprived them, they sav, of the last hope of recon- iliation under the present elreumstances, Railway ofticials claim that a continuance of their business. which they say has now been 1illy tesumed, depends not in the least upon thie netions of any labor organiza- tion and that the freight blockades hias been permanently raised. “They also claim they Flave emploged s uficient nitmher Of men th vender thein entirely independent of the Enignts, and the strike will come to naught, Members of the general executive board state they are contident of the suceess of the strike, “for says Turner, “the roads cannot e operated without the Knights of Labor, “Phe skilled and unskilled Iabor of the United States is controlled by our organization, und the company of Gould has not could not supply itselt with railroad men or mechanies or even laboring men if we should attempt to prevent it It employ any they Wil leave again after twork a little while,” Some of the men in the employ bridge and tunnel company, and Union depot, quit work this morn obedienee to the exeeutive hoard of knights, The usunl number of freight trains on the Missowd Paciiic and Iron Mountain roads Etarted ont this morning without ovposition, EW Youk, April 6.—The following tele- 0 was 1eccived here this morning: OvIs, April 5.—To Jay Gould, Presi dent, New York; Two hundred and fifty- f ‘trains are moving on the systeim; seventy-six n 1e ready to move.

CHICAGO, April 6.—A heavy snow storm Accompanied by high winds, has resulted in practically eutting off all telegraphic _com- munication between the west and New York. “The storm center is near Buffalo and extends north into Canada and the sonth, covering Cleveland, Pittsburg, Detroit, Cincinnati, and even south of the Ohjo river. While the stoppage appeared to be complete to New York up to 10 o’clock this morning, the tele- graph officials express the belief that it would only be temparary, as they had no intelli- genee of the wires being carried down. The wires are working satisfactory to the west and northwest. DETROIT, April 6.—A blizzard struck this city a little before midnight last night and continues with unabated fury. Street car transportation is alinost an impossibility, pe- destrians floundering along at the best of their ability.

Congress Not Expected to Adjonrn Before August—Manderson R ports the Fort Omaha Bill— Manning's Condition. Unfit For Practical Use. WastiNGroy, April [Special Tele. gram.|—1t Is generally conceded that the Iabor arbitration bill, which passed the house with such a hurrah last week, will not pass the senate in its present form, at least, Four outof every five of the members who voted for it knew it was a poor affair, at best, and unfit for practical use. But they were afraid to vote azainst it. There are elections to be held only six months hence, and nominating conventions are even nearer, and no wiatter what is offered in the house, purporting to be for the benefit of the honest voter, it will pass. The senate 1s further from the people, and is not swaved by any personal motives of this sort. 1t will take the matter more coolly, and instead of two days of fevensh and excited diseussion, it will probably take two weeks picking the house bill to picees, and perhaps returning one in its place that will prove practical and useful. ADJOURNMENT STILL FAR DISTANT, Occasionally you hear an inquiry as to when congress is going to adjourn. The zeneral opinion is that if the weather does not get too hot, congress will be here in Au- gust. OF course the tariff bill witl claim a good deal of time, and as but two ot the appropri- ation bills are yet passed, it scems hardly probable that adjournmont will be had before August. Itisa curious fact that when con- gress gets pastJune itlseems likely to run until August. Ten congresses have adjourned in June, only eight in July, and ten in August Three have adjourned in April, but that was a good while ago, when they didi’t know any better, six in May, one in September, one in October and one in November, MANNING CONVALESCENT. ining’s friends hope to see him out ugain preity soon. 1e is getting along quite as well as could be expected. His conversation on general topies shows his mind to be clear, and not in the least affected by the trouble at the base of his brain. ‘The secretary now has the free use of his right arm and leg, and may be said to be convalescent. The treasury department oflicials, notwithstandingithe improved con- dition of Manning, fear that he will not be able to resume his duties at the department for many months, and perhaps not at all. THE FORT OMATA BILL. From the senate committee on military af- fairs, Mr Manderson to-day reported, with a favorable recommendation, hisbill providing for the sale of the site of Fort Omaha. the sale or removal of the improvements thereof, 1 101 new fort of not more than 450 in- 1 of 500 ac Accompanylng the report is letter from General Sheridan recom- mending the bill as amended. In Lis report Mr. Manderson calls attention to the close proximity of Fort Omaha now to the city of Omaha, the marvelous growth of th the danger there is in target practice the diffieulties encountered in restricted drills. The present buildings are inadequate and uncomtortable, he says, and they cannot be enlarged conveniently for want of room. The value of the eighty acres comprising the post is suflicient to purchase from three to four hundred desirably located, and leave a surplus, which would go far toward making the fmprovements needed. He deals at length with the necessity for a strong mili- tary post at Omaha, rehearsing well known arguments, and recites the recommendations made by various prominent oflicers for a new and better fort. Mr. Manderson is confident the bill will be passed by both branches of congress at this session PATENTS TO WEST INVENTORS, Patents were issued to the following to-day : Lyman By Museatine, lowa, convertible cot and seat; George Dye, Washington, Towa, railway ditehing machine:Stephen A,D, Hart- rles City, lowa, harrow; IFrank on, Greenfield, Towa, bakers' noto case; and W.

Senate. WAsHINGTON, April 6.—The chair laid b fore the senate the letter from the seerctary of the treasury regarding the payment of $125,000 to the Chippewa tribe of Indians for damages growing out of the construction of the reservoir at the head waters of the Mississippi river. It was referred, Mr, Plumb presented a petition of the WSO fon of col d - citizens of Kunsas praying for assistance to emigrate to Africa with & view of there building up another United States republic. Mr. Plumb said b understood there was a strong determination on the part of the petitioners to earry out the emigration seheme. 1t was referred; Mr. Blair reported favorably, without amendment fromthe committes, the educa- tion and abor arbitration bill passed by e Jouse. The cousideration of the army bill was sumed, aud Mr, Logan spoke in favor of i1, Referring o a case recently exposed of the imprisonment of an Ameriean citize Cuba, 0 report on which had_been miad the senate by Mr. Edmunds, My, Logan said that owr ciizens might be imprisoned for a year or more in Cubaand we are unable to dssert our strength - secure e oven trial, 815, sald Logan*if 1 had the power, which I have not and o not ever expect to lave or exercise, (but 'tis in American people, and there rets); it T should wield it to-day, no American citizen would be routing in the dungeons of any foreign power with- out haying hiscase examincd and fairly tried, [Loud applause in the gallery.] Sir, I would use the power of the American peo ple against Spain, or England, or any other power, to protect American citizens.” He disclaimed any feeling of personal oftense in what the senators had sald st the bill If what the senators had aimed at was that he should declare himself on sowe boints at which they had hinted, he (Lozan) would say that e was 0o communist—was. fox no division of property. He believed in every man owning whiat he had lubored for. ~ He did not belleye in_murder, destruce tion of property or burning of town But in saying that if any man asserts th le (Logan) was not a friend of honest labor, that man misconstrued him, He would be glad to se2 every laboring man happy and in possession of & hapby Nonie, If e Liad the power, he would build fortifica: tions at San Francisco, and above and below that city, that would proteet the Pacitie const and would make the harbors of all our great cities bristle with guns that would plow down any navy or army that would approach our costs. He would have an army and nayy that would not be the laughing stock of the world Mr. Hale opposed the bill, He refered. in cideritally, 10 sowme opening of the discussion on this bill, which remarks, he said, had_been interproted, as the discussion had_shown, as referring to gutside influence In opposition to the bill He (Hale) hiad not heard the remarks, and was very glad that the senator from 1llinois (Logan) had stated_freely and friendly—and M, Tiale necopted the statement as entirely satisfactory—that hie had no reference to any outside influence. Mr, Lozan denied that he made any allu- sion to any outside influence. Mr. Halo then argued at length against the I\M(\rhml increase. ¥ Mr. Manderson supported the bill, - He called attention to the condition of the Indian frontier, and the danger of a conflict there at any time. Every Indian, he said, had a good Winchester rifle, and it was only a question of time when ' there would be trouble with ted Cloud and his wurriors, He (Manderson) had hewrd from reliable sources that the Sioux Indians had agreed to kill the first one of their numbey who should consent to the passage of the bill now before the senate providing for the purchase of the reservation, Mr. Teller exprossed his convietion that t never was a time in our history when so little danger was to be appretiended from Indian troubles as now. 1t was therefore absolutely folly to talk of increasing the army on this account. Tlie chnir laid before the senate a message from the president relating to the subject of Chinese immigration. The message was read and referred 1o the committee on foreign re- relations, After exceutive session journed, the senate ad House, Wasmiyaroy, April 6,—Mr, Weaver, from the committee on commerce, reported bills authorizing the construction of bridges across the Missouri river unear Kansas City and Atchison, Placed on the house cal- Mr. Lawler, from the committee on labor, reported back the resolution for a congres: sional investigation of the causes underlying the differences existing between employers and employes on railroads. 1t was referred to the committee of the whole, Mr. Springer, {rom the committee on_terri- tories, reported a bill to prohibit the passage of Tocal and special laws in territories of the (l'nilml States.

Wasmxyaron, April 6.—The scnate re- ceived from the president to-day a long mes- sage, transmitting the correspondence by tween the sceretary of state and the Chinese ninister with regard to the treaty rights of Chinese subjeets other than laborers “to go and come of their own fee will and accord.” “The president says that jeases of individual hardship, beyond the power of the executive to remedy, have occurred- in the application of the Chinese aets, which are due to the umbiguous and defective provisions of the acls of con- cress. The hardship has in some cases, been removed by the courts, but in others, whero the phraseology las dppeared to be conelusive againstany discretion on the part of the oflicers, Chineseé persons expressly entitled to free adwmission under the treaty nave been refused a landing, and havelbecn sent back to the country whence they came withont being aiforded an opportunity to show their rights. The act of July 5, 1584, the president says, imposes an impossiblé condition in not providizyg for the admission, under a proper certificatc, of Chinese tray: clers, ~of the exempted in cases most likely to arise in ordinary commercial intercowrse. Tle presi- dent here auotes the provisions of the treaty and of the immigration act of 1534, Of the latter he says the statute is certainly most unusual which, purporting to_ execute the provisions of the treaty with Clina, enacts formalities as regards subjects of other governments than that of China. He ealls the carnest attention of congress to the eirein- stance that the statute makes no provision whatever for a somewhat numerous clas Chinese persons, who, retaining Chinese subjection_in_some countries other than China, desire to come from such countries to the United States, “Ihe intent of cor ecution of the treaty,” the pr 1y, thus defeated, by 4 prohibition directly con- trary o the treaty, and the conditions are exacted which, in the words of the supreme court, it was physically impossible to per- form, T feature of the act should be reforme speedily as possible, in order that the oceurrence of such cases may be avoided and the fmpatation: removed which would otherwise rest upon the good faith of the United States in the execution of their solemn treaty engagements,” The Tavift Bill Ready.

The Remains of Oaptain Orawford Reoeived at Hastings With Profound Display. NEBRASKA'S CITY ELECTIONS. How the Battle of the Ballots Was Fought Yesterday and Its Re- sults—The State News in General, Honoring the Dead Soldier. Keansey, Neb, April 6.—|Special Tele- gram.]—The remains of Captain Emmctt Crawford of the regular army, murdered by Mexicans near the town of Nacori, Sonora, in January last, arrived lere on this morn- ing’s train over the B. & M., under the care of Captains Bourke and Morton, of the Thirtieth eavalry. Along the route, whereve possible, marked respect and courtesy was shown the escort. Four companies of infan- try marched alongside the casket from Fort Bowie to Bowie Station, on the Southern Pacific railw where a batallion of Apache couts and a body of the ght intantry and Second avalry. regular army, were drawn up to cive them. Denver, Colorado, was reached at day break vesterday. The governorhad flags at half mast and a company of artillery was de- tailed to act as a guard of honor. Even at that early hour a number of prominent peo- ple ealled to pay thelast tribute of respect. Among them was lHon. Posey Wilson, a warm friend and admirer of the deceased. Costly floral offerings were laid upon the casket as the train slowly steamed out of the Union de- pot. At Kearney, Mount Hebron Command- ery No. 12 was drawn upin line at the station, commanded by Sir C. B. throng of citizens joined the process marched to the residence of Crawford's brother, The remains now lie in state, guarded by the Templars, in a room just built to accommodate Captain Crawford dur a leave of absence which he he hoped to enjoy in Nebraska this summer. The masons have held an important business meeting to u arrangements for the funeral, which oceurs next Sunday. [nvitatious have baen issued to all Masonic lodges in Kansas, and Colorado, and to oflice; soldiers of the regular army, Grand Army of the Republic, government and stato officialsand citizens generally. The demon- stration, no doubt, will be an imposing affair. The sentiment of this community is that the murder of this gallant, noble soldier, one of our own citizens, 1s a matter demanding something more than languid, lackadaisical methods of the diplomacy, which has so long i and disgraced the American foreign policy. Efforts are now taking form to urge upon the Nebraska delegation in con- gress to demand that more energy be dis- ed in developing the explanation which Mexican government seems inclined to withhold. Captain Crawford is régarded as one of the noblest men and_bravest soldiers produced by the late war. His death should not be allowed to pass without an apology. He stood high as a mason, a member of the grand army, citizen and soldier, and never failed in his duty.
