April 10. The following Rpjxttl, pri'pariHl Grand. Master Workman Fott-derly, is furnished to tho press by Grand Secretary Turner. Copies of the document wwe mailed last night from tho grtinrnl office of tho Knights of Labor in tin's city to i-very assembly of the oi'ilor in tho United Btafos and Canada, To the order wherever found Greeting: You have all read of tha great strike on (liiulil linos of railway in tho southwest. Its history is being written day by day.

It irakon but little diTTerouco now whether the men of tho southwest acted wisely or not. Lit us pass that part of the affair over, for it, too, has passed Into history. Tho general executive board of tho order attempted to Mile the trouble anJ restore harmony; ajflremontfl were made with them by Jny t'Oiild, Ksq but when the board reached St. Mr. would not troat with them; not that alone, but he postltvoly refusal to employ Knights of Labor, whether thoy hud bet'ii active in tho strike or not.

It row Ixxomiis part of every man uud in tho order to take up the fight of tho men of tliu southwest and assist them to tlii? full extent of their Thoy Imvo been Idle fo. 1 nunrly two months. Thoy have had most, trying ordeal to go through, anil uro in need of funds. It requires no olo- qnoni'i' or rhetoric to plead tho cause of thottu sulIVrinii people. They roquiro niil, and it bet-mill's niir duty to extend that aid us as it is possible for us to do.

every dollar you fan spare to tho general EpcTetnry nnd treasurer, who will nt one? forward it to tho men at St, Louis for distribution. the men but there do not ask for charity. Thoy do not ask at all. tt is your executive board that makes tho appeal in their behalf. Ho who gives quickly gives doubly.

Act at onco. Another nppoiil may be sent you, and usk you to prepare for it now. We must he judged by our actions in this matter. Do not pasi resolutions condemning capital, for uro not fighting capital. Do not nn- the thousands of man who have by denouncing capital.

Lot us concentrate every effort to tho winning of tho eoutiwt we hnvo before us. Let us maku ft friend of every man who has suffered through monopoly. This battle tho man who represents monopoly must be fought out manfully. Watch his actions everywhere. Keep an eyo on the doings of congress.

Urge thu cominlltoo that havu been appointed to do their duty 'fearlessly; strengthen their hands; givo them every aid. In conclusion liit us again ask that you vend, at oiico, every dollar you can at present nilso to uphold tho man who ore now out along the linos of the Southwest system of (Jould railways. Do not delay, and at the Bfltno timo make ready to bring the whole power of tho order to boar upon the man who wrecks fortunes and lives in his greed for Lot us determine to have it history that tho men of 1H8I1 struck as grand a blow for liberty as tho men of 1776, Tho men of 1770 broke the power ol monopoly and DKTHIlONJiD THU KINO. The power which thoy wrested from the hands of a 1 king was not so great as that which IB now held by one man, who, through tho corrupt use of mo'uoy, has brought iiiunu- lucturo.3 and workmen to ruin. Tho power of tho king lias passed away.

The powor of wealth is passing away, and it must now bo f.o'-orm'nod whether men shall rule or whether illtgltimiito wealth shall rule. T. V. O. M.

Vf. POSING AS A MARTYR. Jny Will Not bo llouurud That Way. NEW YOKK, April 10, A representative of the Unitod Press oallod on-General Master Workman Powder'ly at Bcranton, and asked him what hi thought of Mr. Gould's reply to his manifesto.

"1 have not had much time to think of it," said tho labor chief, "for'this ha" been an unusually busy day with mo. I don't think, however, that Mr. Gould has answered my letter. His reply is a quibble and an evasion, mid he fairly slops over on sonic points. AH there is in his communication has beon said before.

Ho. "evidently wants to pose boforo the country in tho light of a martyr, but the Knights of Labor don't propose to honor him with martyrdom. AVo have invited him lo carry his throats of prosecution into the courts, and we aro ready to meet him there, Ifc announced ago his intention to commence a series of prosecutions against the Knigbta, and we want him to proceed at once. AVe shall not bo swayed from our course by anything Ua may say or da Just as sooii as possible wo shall appoint committee of the order to investigate the southwestern trouble from rwit to branch all along tho lino from St. Ixjuis to the Mexican border.

Tho result of this investigation will bo published to Ihu world, and if thu Labor who struck aro at' fault thoy will not scrbenod. aro anxious, however, to liavo a con- conunittoo investigate tho strike ascertain tho cause? loading to it and make them public without dulay. Mr. Gould atta, or rather tallu, like a man who fears he will he injured. If ho should be punished legally for unlawful actw of his, that would not lie unjustly injuring him.

It would merely bo upholding the law. If any of our ma. i are amenable let them also suffer the punitihinout due their acts and let the law upheld. Mr. i'owilerly was culled to Chicago lust night on bui.lno.in connected with tho of Labor, THE SITUATION.

Tho committee has found considerable evidence tending to throw suspicion upon some m-mbers Qf the legislature, but nothing strong enough to convict any of them.

Tho newspaper men did tho best they could under the circumstances.

They obtained the secrets somehow or from from tho spittoons or the dusks of tho senate emirsu not from any senator. Ho maintained that If tho doors wero ojiunud tho speeches over confirmations would bo shorter, tho proceedings more orderly and the debates of a better and more elevated character. As to publicity of votes. Mr. Logan was willing that his constituents and everybody olso should know how he voted in executive sossion, and if ho dared to ho would loll every day how lie voted.

Tho power of public opinion, said the senator, was rising on this subject, Tho people felt thoy must know what senatoru doing. Lot senators havo doao with chtldUhuess and put on (he garb of men. It seemed to bring great joy to some senators to see the galleries cleared and the people turned out, as if some great mysterious thing like turning sticks into snakes was to bo done in exocu- tivo session. Tho wholu thing won uu lute farce, and lliere was nothing; done in executive xossions thiit could not with propriety bo done, in open session. Beeret sessions, however, ulford'jd some senators an opportunity to talk one way In secret and another way in open siwsiinis.

Continuing, hu said tho people now wore demanding open doors for all proceedings of tho senate, and he added: "Tho doors will bo ojxJiied.

Mark what I loll you, and It will not bo long, either. You, gentlemen, may revel in darknosB for awhile over nominations." Mr. RiduMobergor withdrew his substitute for thu open oxeeutivo session resolution, saying that when ho offered it hu supposed it would require a two-thirds vote to pass the pending resolution, but finding it required only a majority vole to pass it ho withdrew tho substitute. Ho thought hi; could how executive, wssiou secrets got out. "For instance, I havo private secretary, and I consider him particularly private.

I walk down the avenue with him, and ho asks mu a question or two, and bolng smarter than i arn ho knows moro in fivu minutes than 1 will lourii in iv week. Then ho gives it to somebody olso, and Iho whole newspaper fraternity got it." The newspaper fraternity, ho added, like religion! bodies hud some bad men among them, who somolimos mtsreproson ted senators. He instanced a recent caso whoro one paper had taken facts as other papers had them and then reversed tho statement of foots, pulling Mr. Htddluberger's name when tho name of another properly Ixilongod.
