Mr. Allison Eft!d he had voted tor tU9
BttcrKiroent resnectine silter, of the anas-
tor cl Kentucky, and eu^ no'.Mng in it
that had a tendency la the sUghtesc degree
to alarm the psople o£ the oaairy
rs respects silver coinage. Darlag
the Isst eight months there wfli an incrowa
of $7X00,000 In circulation by the us* of
eiiv, r certificate?. Expansions aad can
tractions were grioc on all the time to the
extent of some $20,000,000 a month, withoat
canslcg the slightest perturbation la basi-
nets. This amendment, he declared, was
the most harmless that eoald have basti
devieed. The secretary of the treasury ia
September last commenced depositing stir-
fins money with national biaks upon tiielr
per cent bonds, whle'i were worth ia the
market 125. The national banks were
allowed to receive deposits upoa
these bonds at the rate o£ 110, aad
mcio than $0,000,000 of this surrender of a i
ilenal bank circulation was eSectel by
b&nke In order that they might turn t'aetr
bocds right over under this order to the
secretary of the treasury, aud Instead ot 90
per cent of circulation receive 110. Tauj
the operation of the financial minister of
this government dnring the last four or fiva
mouths was to make national banks sur-
render their circulation and place the very
bonds that were held as security
for that circulation as security for
tie deposit of public money. He was glad
to see that that process had been discon-
tinued, and the banks now being held down
to their 90 per cent would undoubtedly not
continue to make these exchanges. There
was no just end prop3r reason why any-
body should be alarmed at the proposition
of the feenator from Kentucky, as he viewed
It. The silver leglalattsm ot 187S had Ejmu,
he thought, fully and thoroughly jastiSad.
It would Eot have bisea poss ible to have
maintained resumptiin without It. B7ary
year since the passage of ths r»ot
of 1&78 we had imported more gold
then we had exported, and we had
to day in addition to that t'ue entire prod-
uct ot cur o«n mines, amounting so an
aver6ge of thirty millions a year. T/ius

Labor Matters,
Cdjcaoo, 111., April 1 — The tinol result of
the mcetirgs of the employes of the va-
rious ra'Jioads in this city, which began
yesterday afternoon andf&sted until a late
hou- last night, is announced this more,ing
in the declaration that the boyoot of Q
cars has been permanently raised, and that
henceforth the contest will be strictly con-
lined to the Q system. This raising of the
bovcot means that all the strikes now on,
except the Q, are to stop forthwith, and
that all those that were Imminent are to be
averted. Oiher roads are absolved from
the requirement of neutrality and
violence is to bs discountenanced,
according to the well known policy of tua
Brotherhood ot Locomotive Engineers. Tha
arrangement agreed upon, It is stated, is
directly due to the exertions of Chief Ar-
thur of the Brotherhood of Engineers,
Grand Master Sargent of the Fireman,
Grand Master Moncghanof the S wit jhmea's
association. Mayor Koche and Mark Craw-
ford, who also represents the Switchmen.
Tbe filial decision was hastened by a mass
meeting, held with closed doors, last even-
ing, which was addressed by General Man-
ager Jeifery of the Illinois Central road.
At a later meeting of the men the acilon
of the mass meeting was ratified, and the
employes of each road were Instructed to
notify their employers and be ready to ra-
pott for duty everywhere except at the Bar-
iirgton yards to c*.ay. The committees ware
sent out at once to vlsl; the different of-
ficials, and later reported that all had ac-
cepted the action of the meetlDg. Strikes
on competing and connecting roads are
therefore to be abandoned. Tne engineers
will efford every aid to thosa roads ia ia-
terolisngirg all the freight possible wkh

Cbicaoo, III,, Aprii 4—A report is in
circulation to the effect that Powdarly has
t"f,d a hand in bringing about tho present
state of affairs. His antagonlsai to tha
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is so
well known that it was considered vary
sirargo when the Burlington switchmen,
who were Knights of Labor, qalt work ia
order to back up striking engineers. The
switchrr en finally agreed to abide by the
advice of the chief, and the knowledge ot
this fact, It Is said by those qualified to
epcak, led the engineers and firemen t>
drop the boycot. Mr. Sargent, chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, said
tc day: "Chief Arthur had nothing to do
with men returning to work; it wa3 the
men's own Individual jadgmsnt that !ad
them to go out, and it was their Individual
judgment which lea them to go back "
"Was there anything in the attitude of
Mr. Powderly toward the etrlke tha: cauisd
tbe return to work!
"Powderly had no more to say in the
matter than you bad. vi'hat he thought
about tbe strike and boycot oafs no figure

fgurijuj in
freight for th® q road
Chicago, 111, April 4—the hage b)ycot
against tbe Burlington road was fall7 ii; ed
today, and the Barliogton yards wore
jammed with freigat f on othar roads, tha
move of the Rock Island ia sending ia
freight seeming to have become epidemic.
Ten mitutes after the receipt ol the Rack
Island train a Baltimore and Ohio train
steamed in, and following this trala came
mother lot ot earn from the LakeSaire.
All tbe roads having frelgut comtaaaloatlon
with the Burlington continued sending
in freight to tbe Q yards staa-t-
lly. The Rook Iilaud, 0:. Paul,
Panhandle, Lake Shore, N jrt>
vestern, Chicago and Atlantic IlliaoU
Central, Michigan Central and other linos
were actively engaged In inoviag cars t>
the Q. There seemed to ba no end to the
frelgut that had brea held ia check by the
boycot on the Q interchange of cars. It i*
broadly stated that the strikers calculated
that iu lifting the boycot all the roads tnat
hud lor vteeka suspended relations with the
Q would at once proceed to unload oa
that company all the cars that hid
accuirnlated, and that the effect would be
to swamp the Q people with freight, the
case they believed being that of all roads
fully equipped against one poorly equloped.
It was thonght that in the natural order of
things the Bnrllngton would receive more
freight daily from other roads than It
could give to them, and that it would bo but
a short time before It would be oostracted
with freight consigned to it by other
lines. Having achieved this the Burlington
would be required under the law to furnish
facilities for the proper handling of
freights. This might grow Into a lever to
move the men back into their old positions
on Ihe Q. It was amovdworJi maitlns!.
pnd the men made It. Up to to-night tie
judgment of those ordering it seems to
cave been good. A great deal more freight
has been'received by the Q oeople to-day
than has been sent out by tnein. Whether
they will be able to handle it all without
dlfflcnliy and transac t their own hnottia s
as wcl, ftith their present force,[remains 0
