Louis, April 2. Contrary to the general expectation yesterday that the executive committee of assembly 101 would designate the hour of ten o'clock in the morning as the time when the striking Knights of Labot should return to work, no order to that effect was issued and at ten o'clock the strike was continued.

The following address was issued in the afternoon by the executive board of the district: To the Public: As showing the sincerity of the railroad managers in their treatment of the Knights of Labor respectfully state that pursuant to the order orour general executive board we this day lent a committee to themanagers of the several; roads offering to return the men to work, and in no instance would they be received or treated with, each official in turn either refusing them a hearing or evading them with specious subterfuges for direct answers or refusing them employment. Hoxieagreed to receive a committee ol employes to adjust any grievances which exist.

He cef uses personally and through his subordinates to recognize any of us as employes and refuses to receive any but such as he calls In short, after be and Gould have conveyed the impression to the world that they were willing to settle they refuse to-settle. Now we appeal to the suffering public, on whom is falling all the weight of this great affliction, if we have noi oeeu ueceiwu enough. How much is long suffering labor to bear?

In this country pos tion makes no king or slave. Imperious refusal on the part of one citizen to confer with other citizens with whom he may have business connections, when siifh rnfusal beirets irreat business and social revolution, is not only a mistake but a crime against the public, uouia is invoking the law against the little criminals who are riesnernte bv hia nolicv of duplicity and oppression, and yet the terrorized public does not invoke the law against the arcn criminal of the land. If we can not be allowed to return to work the strike must go on. By order of executive bourds district as semblies wi, us, it. Parsons, April 2.

The strikers still hold the key to the situation h-re, and affairs are tied up in the same old knot. After the strikers had killed the engine in front of Adjutant General Campbell Wed nesday, he mounted another engine that had previously been disabled by the strikers and made them a speech, giving them good advice, and closed by telling them lie would make a final attempt to move a train at nine o'clock next morning, and implored them, nnder the name of the State of Kansas, not to make any resistance, and that if they did their action would be on their own heads, and that they would have to abide by the consequences. Yesterday morning abnut.1,500 people assembled at the yards to witness what was supposed to be the final attempt of the Adjutant to move a train before calling out the militia. The first train made up was a wrecking train, consisting of a derrick, wrecking car and caboose, sent south to clear up Monday night's wreck. This the strikers allowed to po out unmolested, but as soon as an engineer came down to take out a freight it was boarded by the strikers mid killed.

This was the last attempt that will be made. Fort Worth, April 2. Fort Worth is in the hands of a mob. The citizens' posse summoned by the sheriff to assemble this morning at tiie Missouri Pacific yards met, some 300 strong, according to orders. About 400 strikersarmed and desperate and ready for bloodshed, were on the scene.

Fifty well armed officers were also on hand, a freight train was made up and a Missouri Pacific engine came alone to pull out the train. A grand rush was made by the strikers for the engine. Arms were presented on both sides. The engine was not molested, but all the cars were uncoupled and even the nuts were taken out of the draw-heads. Some of the Knights were arrested and the engine sent back to the roundhouse, and all attempts to move trains were abandoned.

The citizens lacked organization. They had no leader while every man in the ranks of the strikers was a leader. Mayor Smith addressed the mob, but the strikers cried "Rats!" "No more Peter Smith for mayor again." The sheriff is summoning citizens to go armed to the Missouri Pacific yards. The strikers' places are all filled here. They are hungry and bloodthirsty.

The most conservative citizens anticipate grave trouble in restoring law and order. Kansas City, April 2.
