A strike of abotit 500 men and V-oys took place at the Malleable iron works, Chicago on the 9th. The great strike of 4.800 workmen at the National tube works, McKeesport, has ended satisfactorily.

Springfield, March 24. At the customary hour yesterday morning the Justice and attorneys and usual crowd of spectators assembled in the court room for the ninth day on the Molloy-Lee examination, but a few minutes later messenger arrived and announced that Mrs. Aiolloy had been suddenly taken ill and would not be able to appear Ju the court room during the day After a few moments consideration among the justices add attorneys, court adjourned.

Yesterday niorninz Mrs. Molloy had finished her breakfast and was leaving the dining room when She fell on the floor in a kind of convulsion, her bands clinched together as if in the death grip, while the sufferer was apparently unconscious of everything except her intense pain.

Atl possible attention was given the unfortunate woman but she continued to suffer most all the day. Mrs. Molloy's sickness is similar to the attack she underwent at the time of her arrest about four weeks ago, but at this time it is thought to be aggravated by the knowledge that Graham's last statement was given to the public last Sunday as well as other unpleasant news about her remarkable case. Several days ago Mrs. Mlioy sent her son Frank a dispatch entreating him to come to her rescue, but Frank, who Is with his father and going to school at Laporte.

New Yokk. March 25. The Tribune publishes a 'long interview with Mr. Jay Gon'd in regard to the strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad, tbe essential features of which are herewith given: Mr. Gould said: "There can be no compromise in this case and so tar as I know there has been no attempt toward one by either side.

There is no room for a com-promise, for tbe strikcis have confessed in effect that they hare no grievance against our company. I ant bound to fight this question to the bitter end for this very reason. The ptbKsition is a Sim pin one; if we had our interfered with the management of tho Texas Pacific we should have been in contempt of the United States Court which has charge of that road. The men on our own lines have made no complaint aeainst us, but are striking to enforce the demands of a workman on another road not under our control. There, can be no compromise ot such a and I have asked the opinion of Judge Dillon as to Our legal rights tinder such circumstances, and his decision is that it is our duty, not alone bur mlit, to prevent the interruption of the business of the road by all legal means.

He says the company has a clear legal remedy against the members of the KnUihts of Labor org mizatiuns in suits for dainaneS and we puriHise to test this action iu the courts. We shall sue members of the organization and the papers the case now are be'ng prepared in accordance witli Judge Dillon's opinion. We propose to recover damages from every member of the association who has any property. A great many employes of the Missouri Pacific, especially macliiiih-ts and engineers, have homes which they have bought out of their savings. Some of the nun are worth 000 or 620,000 piece.

They are responsible to us for the losses we have suffered if they belong to the Knights of Labor. We will show them that we intend to enforce all our leal rights and we shall bring suiU against member of the order who Imve property on other lines of railroads and in other States. We shall attempt to iccover damages fiom every member who has property that we can attach. It is time that these things should be settled and this is a favorable opportunity. 1 propose to filiht it out on this line.

There is another feature of the case, and that is that every shipper and manufacturer and in every person who has suffered loss by this strike has the same legal redress as the railroad company has." Mr. Gould said that the position taken by Vice President 1 toxic in his card to the strikers had been fully approved by the board of directors. The effects of this strike, he said, would unsettle confidence throughout the world, and these workmen would be the first to feel its disastrous consequences, lie hid no news which would lead him to suppose that tho strike would extend to the East and intimated that he might ask for ail injunction restraining working Knights of Sheriff V.
