PARIS , June 2S. Nothing more unlike an
American election could tie \\ell Imagined
than the Trench presidential election which
yesterday elected M. Caslmlr-I'erlcr presi
dent of the republic. The electoral body ,
formed of both houses of the legislature ,
met In one vast room In the form of a paral
lelogram and adorned with battle paintings
of the Bonaparte period. The constitution
ordains that the successful candidate for the
presidency of the republic must have the
highest number ofotcH above all other
candidates. M. Caslmlr-Pcrler had 451 out
of 833. There were 877 members present ,
but twenty-four abstained from voting.
The palace of Versailles was full of bustle.
Ticket holders were admitted to the galleries
early In the morning. The members of the
press were the first to arrive. A brigade
of police was posted at different parts of
the general hall , while uneasy , sharp-eyed
detectives prowled about among the crowds
of holiday makers who hid come to see
what sights the public palaces of Versailles
might afford. The ladles present Included
the wives , daughters , nieces , cousins and
personal friends of the membsis of the con
gress. They had no time to buy mourning
for Carnet or to prep-ire special toilettes for
presidential election. Tno special trains
of great length were prepared toward
noon , another train of saloon cars
awaited the ministers and poor Car-
not's state train was ready In the
event of the future president preferring to
TCttirn to Paris by rail. The last time It
was used was to bring back M. Cornet's re
mains from Lyons. It Is customary for the
newly elected president to drive back from
Versailles In a private equipage and escorted
by curnlssers.
While we waited at the St. Laznre station
a hastily printed leaflet was distributed sup
plicating the deputies and senators In the
name of humanity not to vote for M. Caslmlr-
Pcrler , but to vote against bloated capitalists.
It was written by a crank. 1 saw many
cranky old men about. An old Inly who was
turned out swept about protestlngly pro
claiming the seventh sial was broken and
that the vials of wrath In the form of an
archism were being poured on the world for
its sin. Science , divorced from religion , she
proclaimed to some who knew her , to bo the
devil.
The special trains followed at five-minute
Jntervals , the ministers starting first and the
diplomatic corps last. They went In almost
no time to Veisallies , which , near the palace ,
looked like a Trench town where a fair Is
going on , or Chantllly on D3rby day. The
crowds were Immense. The police went
about ordering the sightseers to mo\e on.
At the hotels and cafes the tongues of par
liamentarians wagged freely and the dep.i-
tles compared notes across the tables. "Who
' will you vote for ? " I asked Comte Malloreau ,
a Ficneli Labouchere.
"For XI. Caslmlr-Perler , " he replied.
1 "Why , are you not n radical ? "
"Yes , but I want to prevent him from
ever bslng premier. Besides , should the an-
nrchlstawant to remove another president I
prefer to remove a semi-conservative. "
At 1 o'clock there was a full muster of
the ambassadors and other members of the
diplomatic corps In congress hall. I fell Into
tonTOrBatlon with the membeis ot a congress
man's family In the speaker's tribunal and
was told M , Brlsson was present M. Caslmli-
Perler , It was added , was the favorite. The
royalists Intended to vote foi General Fevrler.
whllo all the senate would vote for M. Casl-
inlr-Porler since M. Lacour had withdrawn.
M. Caslmlr-Perler would be a better presi
dent than prime minister. He had a great
fortune , was honest and honorable , not an
India rubber character , and was well bred.
It would bs an advantage to Trance to have
him at the Elysee , where much of the In
itiatory character was not expected , but
where , he might exercise salutary Influence
In frowning down such men as Uouvler ,
Hocho and Relnach. His wife , who Is a
good woman , Is also wealthy In her own
right. M. Caslmlr-Perler Is brave. This Is
a desirable quality In dynamiting times. He
was under fire In several engagements In
1870 and won by military pluck the cross ot
the Legion of Honor v.hcn he was 22 years
old. Since the assassination of M. Carnet
his ambition has greatly cooled. Ho felt
that ho would make a gieat sacrifice In ba-
comlng president. Could he but get In touch
with the democracy and conquer his prldo
lie would b3 sure to succeed as president.
The ushers Kept arranging the billet boxes
nnd seats as the conversation went on. The
speaker and the secretaries entered In the
meantime. The speaker , In choice , simple
terms , alluded to the horrifying event that
necessitated the event and then declared the
congress open. The speaker named those
who were to scrutinize the votes. He de
cided by lot In what alplnbetlcal category
the members should begin to vote. The let
ter L was drawn and M. Lnbarto began the
voting. The members filed past the urns ,
dropping In white or black balls as they went.
They then went to walk in the gardens ,
There were twelve urns , i-ach of which was
on a beparate table. The letters L , M. N.
O and P took half an hour to vote. At 3
o'clock M. Caslmlr-Prerler arrived from
Paris. He walked netvously about the pas
sages of the committee rooms. At 3 * 0 S53
votes had been cast , One other vote had
teen refused. llreathless anxiety reigned
while the votes were- being counted. The
sneaker then declared the result of the first
and only ballot. The boclallsts , apparently
lor form's fcalte , cried "Down with the dic
tatorship , " "Long llvo the social republic. '
The members of the center applauded nnd
there were a few who cried "Long live
Caslmlr-Perler. " Very little enthusiasm or
warm feeling was shown anywhere unless It
' M. Caslmlr-
was In the speaker's room by
I'crler. who upon hearing the speaker an
nounce the result of the ballot burst Into
tears nnd bald : "I make a great sacrifice in
accepting the office. "
Halt an hour afterwards the newly elected
president drove toward Paris escorted by a
body of dragoons. As he drove off he bowed
pleasantly.
He looks younger than his age. Ho has
fin erect carriage ami precipitate diction and
llttlo out of the common In his air His
countenance and bearing are rather military ,
though ho Is a civilian. M. Caslmlr-Perler
called upon Mine. Carnet on returning to
? arls and begged her to stay at the palace
of the Clysee as long as is was convenient
to her. In the meanwhile he will make the
foreign ministry his ofllclal residence.

In officially notifying M. Caslmlr-Perler of
his election M. Lacour delivered an elo
quent oration nnd In reply M. Caslmlr-
Ptrlcr said : "I can scarcely rtstraln the
otrotlon I now feel. The national assembly
bestows upon me the greatest honor n citizen
can ever reach , by Imposing upon me the
heaviest moral responsibility n man can
bear. I shall give my country all that Is
In me of energy and patriotism. I shall
give the republic all the warmth of my
convictions , which have never varied. I
shall give the democracy all my devotion ,
all my heart , as did he whose loss we now
deplore Finally I shall endeavor to do all
my duty. "
The new president received the congratu
lation of Premier Dupuy nnd the cabinet
ministers , and a largo number of senators
and deputies In the room set apart for the
uteof the cabinet. Afteiward ho received
ths congratulations of the correspondents of
the newspapers.
Replying to the newspaper men , M
Caelmlr-Perior said : "I have only ono
word to say. You may discuss me I be
long to you , but never forget Trance and the
republic. "
Beforct he vote was taken M. do Bamlrey-
de Asson , n monarchist and clericalist ,
jumped upon a chair and waving a paper
declared ho wanted to submit n motion to
revlbe the constitution. No attention was
paid to him and the ballot proceeded
Tremendous cheering greeted the an
nouncement of the result. The socialists ,
however , made vociferous protests. M
Oh.auvln , the hair dresser deputy repre
senting one of the divisions of St. Denis ,
M. Thlvrlcr , the blouse-wearing deputy rep-
rtffntlng Mont Luson , and M. Curnaud , the
deputy who has the distinction of having
been formerly a school teacher , an 1 other
socialists shook their fists at the other mem
bers of the national assembly , at the sjme
time shouting' "Vive la revolution soclale , "
"Down with reaction ! " etc. mingled with
repeated "A bas la presidence ! " ( Down
with the presidency " )
M. do Jeanto , a socialist , shouted out n
violent protest against the refusal of the
congress to consider his notion to abolish
the presidency. His protest was greeted
with loud socialist applause. The model ates
and radicals demanded the closure amid a
scene of great uproar , during which M
Avez continued shouting at the top of his
voice : "All this is the result of a coalition
of the reactionaries " M. Mlohelln. presi
dent of the municipal council of Paris ,
mounted the tribune and attempted to speak ,
but Ms voice was drowned with loud cries
of "Boulanglst , Doulanglst , a bas le
Boulnnglst. " The socialist clamors wire
then drowned by torrents of counter cheerIng -
Ing and In a moment of comparative silence
M Challemel-Lacour ordered the secretar >
to read the minutes of the meeting and
the session of the national assembly was
then closed with cries of "Vive la ic-
publlque ! "
A little four-horse landau drove Into the
court yard. M. Caslmlr-Perlei entered the
Vehicle and started for Paris , escorted bj
a detachment of dragoons , with lances , from
which bright colored pennons were flying.
In order to make his olllclal entry In the
cubtomary manner and somewhat after the
style of the ulngs of France into the capital
of Trance. The new president received an
Immense ovation from the dense crowds of
people who lined the route from Versailles
to Paris.
As the remains of Carnet are yet unburied -
buried the usual Installation at the palace
Of the Klyseo was foregone.
' The ministers , shortly after the presi
dent's arrival , formally tendered their
resignations to him. Casimir-Perler re
quested them to remain In office. It is
doubtful , however , whether Uupuy , the
prime minister , will retain office. It Is
expected In the event ot his Insisting upon
his resignation being accepted that the presi
dent v111 summon Uurdcau to form a cabinet.
This will enable Dupuy to hold his position
ot president of the Chamber of Deputies.
It has been arranged that the funeral pro-
ivsslon which will escort the remains of the
'Me President Carnet to the Pantheon is to
rf.ve the Klysee palace at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning. It will proceed through the Champs
Elysee to the Place de la Concorde , and
through the Uue do Hivoll , reaching
Notre Dame at about noon. After the
funeial services at the cathedral , the pro
cession will go to the Pantheon by the Pont
Neuf and the Boulovarde St. Michael.
The moderate republican and conservative
newspapers accord President Caslmlr-Perler
a favorable reception , and say that they are
convinced that the majority of the French
nation and real working people will do like
wise. They extol his firmness and Integrity
and consider his election a reply to the an
archist challenge The Oaulols urges that
the "joyful outcome" should be celebrated lij
the proclamation ot political amnesty , and
the repeal of the exile laws. T Justice also
demands amnesty for politic offenders.
The radical organs regard the election of
Caslmlr-Perler as a victory for the conserva
tives over the advanced sections. The Rappel -
pel says that after the honible crime the
majority was bound to choose a president of
reslstcnce. La Lanterne expresses the opin
ion that M. Caslmlr-Perier'a name Is a chal
lenge thrown to the democracy.
The extreme right and left organs describe
M , Caslmlr-Perler as a "fighting president. "
La Petite Republlquo remarks tint M. Casl-
mlr-Peiler regards the presidency as a weapon
pen and not as a function , adding that he
represents the clerical aristocracy and the
financial plutocracy. Continuing , the paper
states that the new president "Is the choice
of the right , the prlsonco-of the church nnd
the ambassador ot reaction. The republi
cans must close their ranks In the face of
this new sixteenth of May. "

MONTPELIER , June 28. An anarchist
tragedy growing out of the efforts of the
police to discover the accomplice of Cesiro
Santo , the assassin of President Carnet , has
occurred here.
Cotto aad Montpeller , both In the depart
ment of Herault , have been mentioned as
places where the murderer stopped previous
to making his way to Lyons with the In
tention of taking the life ot the chief mag
istrate of Franco. Consequently both these
towns have been scoured by detectives since
Monday. Santo has frcm the 11 rat claimed
that he acted entirely on his own Initiative-
and that he had no accomplices. Tin | V'
llco soon formed a different opinion and bo
lloved that ho followed out a carefully laid
plan , receiving Instruct.ons and advice
at the different towns ho visited.
The detectives who have been nt work at
Montpeller decided to surround and search
the house of a man named Qranler , sup
posed to bo an anarchist and a possible ac
complice of Santo. Granler , It appears ,
during last Sunday afternoon , previous to
the attack upon President Carnet , was heard
to remark : "By this time Carnet must
have received his quietus. " As the presi
dent was not stabbed until late the same
evening It was naturally concluded , when
the news ot the outrage became published
and when It was shown that Santo had vis
ited Montpeller , that Granler must have
( ( noun that an attempt was to bo made upon
the life of the president.
When Grantor's house was surrounded the
detectives burst In the door and iiimmoned
the anarchist to surrender , Granler , who
\\\s : seated at a table eating his supper ,
sprang to his feet and for a moment stsod
motionless with surprise. Then with sur
prising swiftness and before the detectives
couM secure him picked up n long and
sharp knife and plunged It In his abdomen ,
and with a few swift turns of the wrist
dl emboweled himself and fell to the floor ,
where he expired ulmcAt Immediately , The
police then commenced u thorough search of

* WASHINGTON. June 28. Mr. Hoar
started a series ot filibustering maneuvers
today In the senate which seemed to Indicate
that It might be the purpose of republicans
to use the Joint resolution passed by the
house yesterday to continue for thirty days
after June 30 the appropriations for the
present fiscal year to blockade the tariff
bill. The resolution must be passed be
fore July 1 , when all annual appropriations
cca c. As soon as the senate met Mr.
Hoar madd the point of no quorum , as there
wa only seven senators present. Twenty-
five minutes were then spent awaiting the
appearance of a sufficient number to pro
ceed with business.
Air. Ccckrell , chairman of the appropria
tion committee , renewed his motion of last
night to refer the resolution to his com
mittee. Mr. Hoar superseded this motion
with one that took precedence , moving to
require Instructions to report back as all
amendment to the sundry civil appropria
tion bill as It passed the house.
Mr. Hoar consumed the time of the mornIng -
Ing tesblon until 10 30 He protested
against keeping the tariff bill before the
senate to the exclusion of all other legisla
tion , saying that when the majority asked
the minority to continue existing appropria
tions on the order to press a bill that the
minority believed Injurious they asked too
much.
When the hour of 10 30 arrived the dis
posal of the resolution gave way to the
tariff bill The pending amendment was
that of Mr. Hill to limit the time to the
period bntween March 1 and Augiut 1 of
each year when the books of corporations
should be cpen to Inspection. Upon this
there ensued a protracted debate In which
Messrs. Chandler , Teller , Manderson and
Allison participated.
Mr. Hill made a motion to strike out the
Income tax feature ot the tariff bill. Lost
24 to 40.
Tne consideration of the Income provi
sions of the tariff bill was completed at
12 33
Three democrats , Hill , Murphy and Smith ,
voted for Hill's motion to strike out the In
come tax section , and McPhcrson was paired
for It. Of the republican' , six , Ilans-
brough , Mitchell of Oregon , Pettlgrew ,
Power , Shotip and Teller , voted against the
motion , and Dubols was so paired. The
populists nil voted against the motion.
The tax on playing cards was fixed at 2
cents per pack.
Section 88 , which advances the tax on
distilled spirits from 90 cents to $1.10 n gal
lon , was discussed at considerable length.
Sir Aldr.ch moved to make the Increased
whisky tax go Into effect Immediately on
the passage of the bill. Adopted.
The committee amendment fixing the tax
at $1.10 per gallon and extending the bonded
period to eight years was then agreed to
without division.
Mr. Daniel offered an amendment to repeal
the section of the existing law providing
that every farmer or planter selling leaf to
bacco shall make a statement , verified by
oath , as to the amount of his sale' , and
making his refusal to do so a misdemeanor ,
punishable by a fine of $500 Agreed to.
Section 104 , the last but one of the bill ,
providing for the repeal of the reciprocity
provisions of the McKlnley bill and the
abrogation of all agreements under It , was
reached Just before 7 o'clock. Mr. Hale
moved to strike out. As this motion would
bring up the whole question of reciprocity It
could not be dlbposed ot tonight , and the
senate thereupon , at 7 o'clock , adjourned.
MW MKXICAX STATEHOOD.
II IK Hocn Knocking1 nt the Uoor for Tucnty
Yi-urt.
WASHINGTON , June 28. Delegate Joseph ,
who represents New Mexico In congress ,
regards It as certain that the senate , as
well as the house , will pass the bill admit
ting the territory to statehood. Mr. Joseph
says New Mexico has for the last forty-four
years perblstently urged admission to state
hood , the firbt bill In Its behalf having been
Introduced in 1850. At that time California
was admitted , but the New Mexico bill failed
of passage. In 1874 , a New Mexico bill
pabsed both houses , but It had the mis
fortune to fall because of a slight difference
In phraseology between the house measure
and that of the senate
Senators Stewart , Mitchell. Allison and
Frye and Representatives Holman , Cannon
and Harmer are members of the present
congress who voted for this bill twenty
years ago. It counted nlso among Its
friends , such men as Garfleld , Logan , Wln-
dom , Hannibal Hamlln , Simon Cameron ,
James Ingnlls nnd ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Foster , nil of whom took an active part
during their congressional service In having
Now Mexico admitted to the union.
The senate again passed the bill In the
Torty-fourth congress , Senators Sherman ,
Ransom and Jones being active In Its sup
port , but It failed to get through the house
Again there were vain efforts for admission
In the Tiftleth , Fifty-first and Titty-second
congresses , but these efforts never ad
vanced beyond committee ) stages. It Is
therefore after twenty years' delay that the
house of representatives again passe'i the
New Mexico bill.
Regarding the charge that a larg" poitlon
of the population Is non-English speaking ,
Mr. Joseph claims that the proportion Is
less marked than It Is In the older states
of the northwest , where he points out. Minnesota
seta has 167,000 foreigners In a population
of 1,301,000 , nnd Wlbconsln 459,000 foreigners
In a population of l.CSO.OW ) .
A peculiar objection made against the ad
mission ot Now Mexico Is that bull fights
nro countenanced there Mr. Joseph says
the stories of these fights have been exag
gerated. He claims that the exhibitions
are far short ot the old-time bull fight and
are not of that brutal nature which would
bring them within the law forbidding cruelty
to animals. It Is said to bo a harmless
piece ot sport , wherein the bulls nro padded
to safely protect them against Injury or
torture , and hu considers them too harm
less to bo stopped on other days of the week
than Sunday.

a report of the commissioner of Indian af
fairs on the request mndo to Secretary Mor
ton by Henry Tontenello , a half-brood In
dian ot the Omaha tribe , seeking assistance
In securing allotment of the Omaha tribal
lands , Secretary Morton , In referring to
the letter , characterized the "Tarley lease"
of lands as a great fraud perpetrated on
the Indians. He quotes the Indian as sayIng -
Ing that the allotting agent , Miss A. C.

seemingly tvorldly business with nn eye to

Commissioner Browning Days In his report
ontho matter that , owing to the very unset

allotted lands It will not be advisable to
make new allotments yet. Ho nlso speaks
highly of the work of the allotting agent
and refutes the charge that Influence baa

mons this evening 'VvhefiSBlr WlUlam Vernon
Harcourt , supported by Mr. Balfour , moved
an nddrcss ot congratulation to the queen
upon the birth of an heir to the duke of
York. , The- motion was about to be put when
James Kelr Hardle , probably the most prom
inent of the liberal members of Parliament ,
said : "I owe allegiance/ no hereditary
ruler. ( Oh , oh. ) The ( notion proposes
to raise the1 Importance of an event of every
day occurrence. I am delighted to learn the
child Is fairly health. ( Oh , oh ) I shnll
bo pleased to Join In the ordinary congratu
lations if I meet the child's parents , but
when the Ifouso of Commons , representing
the nation , Is asked to join In congratula

of the House , I protest. There Is one aspect
ot the question which concerns the House ot
Commons A cabinet minister was required
by law to be " present upon the
Interesting occasion. I submit such a pro
ceeding Is not calculated to enhance the
dignity of this house In the eyes of the
nation. " ( Cries of 'order rot ) . "You may
say rot , " continued Hardle , "but If you
mixed with those you represent , you would
find the people- view thli matter In a dif
ferent manner. It seems-to me borne pro

It Is a matter of small concern to me
whether the future ruler of this country Is
a genuine article or a , spuilous one. The

In the royal family , aud the house has a
right to ask w -particular blessing the
royal family has conferred upon the nation.
That It partook In these proceedings , we nre
told the queen has ruled for half a century.
I beg to correct this , by saying that her

the prince of Wa'es. 'What special blessing
has he conferred upouitho nation that wo

Miiy huhitltuto U ugncr * .
The American Railway union In Its fight
ngalnbt Pullman extended the field ot hos
tilities late last night to the Union Pacific
nnd Rio Grande systems. Telegrams were
sent out from Chicago ordering all men In
the train service ot these roads to refuse
to handle Pullman cars.
President G. I ! . Miller ot local lodge No
12 , American Hallway union , was asked In
reference to the order last night.
"Well , " said he , "we have not been
officially Informed ot It yet ; however , I will
f > ay such a step would not be unlikely. 1
think that In the event of a walkout being
ordered there would be several exceptions.
Tor Instance , I do not think the men In the
yards In Omaha or Columbus , neither of
these cities handling any great number
of Pullman sleepers , would bo requested
to stop work. Our object In the event of
a general strike Is to order the men to quit
where It would likely bs most effective. The
fHither west the moro effective a strike
wruld be , on account of the greater number
of Pullman cars that arc handled In the
passenger yards In this city only two Pull
mans are handled , one on the Hock Island
going east , the other west. There would
be nothing to bo gained by having n walk
out her ? , unless It would bo what Is callcJ
a 'bympat'iy' walkout , and this sort of busi
ness has ceased to have much effect. "
Mr. Miller said that If It were true that
the order had been issued ho was certain
the men would comply. When asked Is
ho expected any serious trouble would oc
cur In the way of violence he said :
"I do not look for any trouble within
the next few days. Matters are no doub >
considerably strained nnd many of the inch ,
especially In the west , where , should s >
stilke occur , It would bo moat effective ,
feel very bitter. I was Informed by
an oillclal from Chicago that we would no'
be required to handle any Pullman car *
today ( Friday ) , for the reason it was not
thought any of these cars could be got nvvnv
from Chicago. Ho Informed mo the mem.
bers of the union meant business there. "
APPLIES TO TRAINMEN ONLY.
It Is understood that the order appllev
only to members of the union who are engaged -
gaged In the work of handling train * ,
clerks , shopmen and others being exceptea.
At Union Pacific headquarters yester
day little was feared of the men In
the employ of the tccelvcrs , the prom
ises made by the representatives of
the different organizations during the
recent wage conference to Judge Caldwell -
well being recalled by the officials at this
time as being emphatically against striking
or handicapping the road In any way. As
the Unlon Paclflc has a proprietary right In
the Pullmans on Its system the officials ar
gue that proprietary right becomes a part of
the property In the hands of the court , sub-
jpct to Its control , and anything tending to
Interfere with the operation of the system
would lis a direct contempt of court , punlsh-
ftiblo"as only Judge Caldwell or JndgeSan-
born know how to punish for violations of
expressed conditions.
What seriously affects railroads terminat
ing In Omaha at this time Is the refusal of
eastern lines to handle freight , a telegram
being received at all offices yesterday
from the Illinois Central that it would not
take freight until after the settlement of the
Pullman boycott , Its yards being completely
tied up on account ot the refusal of the
switchmen to handle passenger trains having
Pullmans attached , thereby completely
blocking traffic.
The Northwestern seems to be the road that
will feel the , boycott first here , on account
of difficulties had with the switchmen at
St. Paul. While the Northwestern brings
Into Omaha two Wagner cars and one Pull
man , on its north and south line1 and UK
St. Paul-Omaha line Pullmans are hauled
alternately with Wagners , and It Is very
much questioned whether Pullman would
allow a substitute of Wagner cars during the
continuance of the fight.
A Northwestern conductor talking to a
Bee man yesterday at the Droadway statlo.i ,
Council Bluffs , as to the possibility of tltt
Pullman boycott extending to Omahi , said-
"If any difficulty occurs It will come from
sources west of Omaha. I have It from
good authority that the Northwestern peop'e '
will pull off their Pullman cars tomorrow
nnd substltutp Wagners Instead. They ha\o
ahcut forty Wagner cars not In use In their
Chicago , Kansas City and St. Paul yards ,
and these will , I am Informed , be put in
seivlco at once. So far as the men on the
Northwestern ere concerned , they are a
very peaceable lot , the company having but
few difficulties each year to adjust. Wher
ever possible the officials favor the men , and
under these circumstances wo have no kick
coming. However , I want to see the Pull
man employes win this fight , and It will bowen
won right In the bg centers. The Union
Pacific may be tied up , but I think they
will substitute Wagner cars without much
pros Ing "
The Milwaukee road h not tied up at Chicago
cage or elsewhere by the boycott agilnst the
Pullman sleepers. No Pullman cars V re
hauled en Its lines , and no trains havs been
delayed.

TOPEKA , June 28 The Santa Te system
Is now In the hands of the United States
court In fact. In the application of the
receivers through Oennral Attorney A. A
Hurd , Judge C. G Tester of the Unltei
States court this morning signed nil orde >
directing United States Marshal Neely t <
protect all propeity and trains of the Santa
Fe in Kansas. Marshal Ncely Is ordered
to arrest all persons Interfering with the
trains or property of the company.
Marshal Ncely Is now In Lsavcnworth
where ho Is swearing In deputies to take
charge ot the railroad property. Ho Is
also Issuing orders to men along the line
of the Santa Fo authorizing them to enlist
deputies to protect the property of the com * ,
pany.
It Is the plan of the receivers to make
application to all the federal judges who
have jurisdiction along the line ot theli
road for an order similar to the ono signed
by Judge Foster which If granted will place
the road actually In the control ot thu
United States court.
CHICAGO , Juno 28. A. Bancroft , rcprc.
scntlng the Santa Fo system applied to the
United States authorities In the name ot
the receiver for protection to his road against
Interference by the strikers. Judge Gross *
cup Is out ot town and the marshal's office
decided to act under the order entered In
the coal strike trouble and decided to send
out deputies.
District Attorney Mllchrltt said ho was
of the opinion that the order against the
miners was still operative against any ono
who might Interfere with the road. Mr
Bancroft said the Santa Te firemen and
switchmen In the city had quit work , and
that all the receivers desired was an order
compelling them to refrain from Intel ferlng
with the men who might bo secured to take
their places , Mr. Mllchrlst tuld that In his
opinion the order of June 4 wai sufficient
for the purpose. Attorney Bancroft said he
would wlro to Judge Grosscup and ask him
to construe thesa orders. In the meantime
he asked Clerk Burnham to prepare a cer
tified copy ot the order for the use of the
marshal.
John Donnelly , chief deputy , agreed to
swear In twelve deputies and place them at
the disposal of the road this afternoon. If
Judga Gnmcup does not telegraph that the
order of June 4 has expired the deputies
will bp sent out ngaln abut I o'clock.

CHICAGO. Juno 28. Vice President How
ard of the American Hallway union said to
day that the sltttitlon would bp much more
warlike tomorrow. He said"Wo can tie
up every road In the country If necessary ,
and we can make good our promise to In
volve every road In the west. Every branch
of organbcd labor Is now back of this
strike.
"President Mcllrldc of the Miners' union
has telegraphed that he will call out the
miners whcro coil Is supplied to reads tint
use Pullman cars. This will greatly aid us. "
After a conference with the men nt the
etoek yards the committee from the Knights
of Libor headquarters decide 1 not to Issue
a peremptory order to strike , the men ex
pressing rome objection to Immediate act'on.
The order was held In abeyance until otter
a meeting of the yard employes tonight. It
Is expected the strike order will go Into ef
fect tomorrow morning The firemen on the
suburba , lines of the Illinois Central have
all st-uck
An official of the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Puul railroad said today , concerning the
< trlke affecting that road "The facts are
none of our men have as yet gone out. Wo
have met with some delays on the tracks
used Jointly by the Panhandle nnd our
selves at the passenger station and Western
avenue by reason of the strike on the Pan
handle , but these have not been at all
serious "
An official of the Chicago & Northwestern
road , In regard to the situation on that road ,
said1 "On nil the Wisconsin division all
our men , with ono or two exceptions , hue
remained at work On the Galena division
the strike Is confined to our freight switch
men , but we expect to fill their places ns
soon as possible. Up to the present time
the strike Is confined to the city "
One of the Chicago & Alton officials sild-
"Up to the present hour the strikers have
not Interfered In any way with the move
ments of trains on the Chicago & Alton
railroad They are making many threats
as to what they will do , nnd we are prepar
ing to meet any action they may take with
prompt measures. I think wo will have no
trouble whatever In handling our trains
provided the city nnd country authorities
give us proper protection. "
The association of general managers of
the railroads centering In Chicago reor
ganized the general managers' association
bureau nnd elected John M. Egan general
manager. This bureau will have entire
chorge of everything relating to the fctrlke
on behalf of the railroads. Saturday n com
mittee was sent to Chief of Police Hrennnii
to ask for additional po'lce protection for
certain roads. The chief promised to fur
nish all the men needed at any time.
PREPARED TOR A TIEUP.
The general managers of two of the lead
ing roads say today that they anticipate 1
and were prepared for a general tie-up of
all the roads ; that there was nothing le-ft
for the railroads to do but resist the boy-
eott ; they reserved the right to haul any
man's cars offered them , regardless of his
business or political adulations.
Several thousand men will be thrown out
of employment at the stock yards by the
order of the Knights of Labor. The entlro
shipping Industry will bo completely stopped.
The cut off will bs so serious that the pack
ing house and railroad officials refused to
bellevo any such action would bo taUnn.
About 00 switchmen , trackmen , number
takers , flramen and engineers will leave
their positions nt the command of the Amor-
lean Railway union. The roads that wl\l \ be
( iffected by a tie-up In ttta yards Include
'nearly ' every railroad bystem running inta
Cl'ieago.
Practically all the trains leaving this city
during the afternoon nnd up to C o'clock
tonight got away with their Pullman cars ,
but were more or less delayed. The Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul road has
agreed to handle no more Pullman coaches.
All the freight yards in the city are
crowded with freight cars loaded -with per
ishable goods. The roads are unable to
move this freight. As the South Vvater
street markets were sold entirely out today.
It Is expected a garden truek famine will
be Inaugurated tomorrow.
The 3 10 train on the Grand Trunk was
made up with the usual Pullman-but as no
passengers appeared the coach was left be
hind. Twotrains on the Baltimore & Ohio ,
w'hlch left this city ono about C 30 nnd the
other nt 8 p. in. for the east , are stalled
nt the Western avenue erosslng of the Pan
handle. The switchmen refused to work
the gates and It was Impossible to proceed.
A detail of police was sent for , and when
they arrive an effort is to Ue made to get the
trains out.
Not a wheel has been moved In connection
with the Illinois Central service blnce 9
o'clock last night. Several train crows after
having brought their trains Into the central
station refused to take them out again. By
10 a. m. today the Galena and Wisconsin
divisions of the Chicago & Northwestern were
at a standstill. Announcement was made
that every road entering the union depot
would be tied up at noon. The Chicago ,
Burlington & Qulncy , the Pennsylvania and
the Chicago & Alton would all bo affected
If traffic at the union depot should bo
stopped.
Crowds of strikers and sympathizers are
gathered In the railroad yards In different
portions of the city and the police are kept
busy quelling their demonstrations. Strikers
drove Illinois Central employes from the
yards at Tordlmm despite the efforts of a
detail of police and an additional force was
sent to that point.
TROUBLE CAME EARLY.
Signs of trouble were detected early to
day along the Chicago & Northwestern line.
At Western avenue and Klnzle street a
crowd of strikers gathered about 8 o'clock
and thirty officers were sent to the oceno of
the thicatencd disturbance. At Mayfalr ,
on the Desplalns division of the Northwest
ern , trouble was feared. Trclght switchIng -
Ing yards are located nt this point. During
the morning the btrlkeru congiegated In
the yards nnd five police officers wcro sent
to preserve order.
Eight hundred men employed In the
Northwestern shops , nt W est Sixtieth street ,
btruck this morning.
Four engineers ot the Northwestern roa. .
who called on the officials of the Amerleim
Hallway union last night nnd Induced the
order to strike on that road were discharged
today. This Is considered by the union an
Important factor In the trouble. Three
members ot thu committee sent out by the
union officials last night to the Northwest
ern yards at Western avenus to order the
strike , which took place at midnight , were
arrested this morning on complaint ot the
railway officials They were charged with
Intimidation and were taken to the West
Chicago police station and locked up. The
American Hallway union engaged attorneys
to defend them.
Complications have arisen today which
may lead to trouble between the Illinois
Central and the engineers. Last night an
Illinois switch engine cab was wrecked and
the company discharged Joseph Tlnn , win ,
was In charge of the locomotive. Ho Hay
that a sldo rod dropped and the revolution *
of the broken plcco of machinery unavoida
bly wrecked the cab. His explanation wa
not satisfactory and ho was discharged.
Finn Is n member of tlm > ( Loconiotl\
brotherhood.
The first passenger train duo to Ieavi >
cast on the Baltimore & Ohio today could
not leave on account ot being unable to
couple on an engine. Engineers of the
roads using the saino yards kept switching
acioss the Baltimore & Ohio tracks In such
a manner that their engine was held back
as effectually as though locked to the rails ,
Tarty police were bent to the yards.
Vice President Harahan has sent a mes.
sago to Chief Brennan's oflleu with a lettoi
asking that moro police bo detailed to guard
Illinois Central property. The chief said
that he did not sco how moro men could b
detailed to that road. The chief think *
the railroads are making too great demand *
and expecting too much ot the city polks.

permit other men to take their places who
will dlschnrge their duties. Any or nil the
employes can quit thu service of the com
pany If they deblro to do bo , but when they
quit they must not Intcrfcic In nny manner
with the property or the opeintlon of the
road or men employed to tnke their places.
Any such Interference will be promptly
de-all with ns a contempt of eourt. The men
whu wish to continue In the xcivfco of the
court mubt discharge all the duties appro
priately ai'd properly belonging to the berv-
Ice A refusal to perform any part of these
duties will compel their dlbchnrge nnd the
en ploymcnt of other men to tnke their
places. All the powers nnd authority of
the court will be vigorously exercised to
ci'foico these reasonable rules.
"I cannot believe the boycott order was
Intended to be put in operation on roads In
the custody of United States courts and
operated by receivers appointed by those
courts , but If such Is the cnse the authors
of the boycott older and the men to whom
It Is addicssed must undertsand that the
court will not tolerate nny Interference with
the operation of the road by Its receivers
fnm any canto whatever. The men must
understand tlmt they cannot remain In the
Eorvlco of the receivers tihd refuse to pec-
form nny duty pertaining to tlmt service.
They must make their selection whether
they will take their orders as to the cars to
be switched and handled from President
Debs or the court. If they elect to obey
the orders vet the Wt Ufpty ni jiay iu ; so ,
but In that event they must understand dis
tinctly that they are no longer In the service
of the court for any purple , and that other
men will be employed to take their places
permanently , who will be guaided and pro
tected In the dlbcharge of their duties.
When the s tnatlon of your road and the
law applicable to this case Is understood I
do not believe there will be nny attempt to
put the boycott order In force upon It. Any
effort to do so will bo In direct contempt of
the authority of the court , and must Inevit
ably result disastrously to the men. As

SAN FRANCISCO , June 28 General
Manager Tow no this afternoon Issued the
following bulletin from the general offices
of the Southern Pacific In this city to em
ployes : "In submitting to our men through
you our understanding of the situation as It
presents Itself to us today , It occurs to u ?
that we have been drawn Into a controversy ,
the causes for which we could not control
and with which we have no feeling In com
mon , by n labor organization called the
American Railway union , the leaders of
which are apparently determined to destroy
and crowd out of existence the wiser nnd
more conservative labor union ? with which
wo have been accustomed to counsel , and It
sccnib wrong Indeed that those well estab
lished organl/atlons , whose last ng and well
defined principles have given them a sta
bility well calculated ta Inspire the confi
dence of the public und of railway malingers ,
should bo carelessly brushed asl.le to mult a
room foi nn organization that has no recar.l
of the past and whoso future Is problPmnt-
lc.nl , especially when It nib trarlly enforces
upon us n contention wljh which cur men
or our company has no concern.
" 'Ibis now organization not only attempts
to usurp the prerogatives of your several
societies , but nlso to Inflict upon our
patrons , upon our company , and Indirectly
upon our employes , much hardship ,
merely In order to punish In a roundabout
way the corporation whose workshops nro
moro than 2,500 miles distant , for nn alleged
violation of an underttandlng between the
employer and employe. Whllo we are In no
way able to Judge of the merits of the cage ,
yet we feel that vve ought not to be dragged
Into this quarrel , since , as n matter of fact ,
our company absolutely owns three-fourths
of our sleeping earn of all classes
"In the Interest of the traveling public
and for the mutual benefit of our employes
and ourselves , wo appeal to out men not to
permit themselves to bo drawn Into this
bitter controversy , BO diametrically opposed
to our Interests , whteh will surely disrupt
our moro stable and conservative organiza
tions , and dispel the full measure of con-
fldenco and general good feeling that has
always prevailed when their committees have
felt called upon lo visit nnd counsel with us.
"In the Interest of good faith and har
mony , wo ask that our men stand with us
until they themselves have something to
complain of. "
Though San Trnnclsco Is completely shuf
out by the strlko from railroad communica
tion with the outer world there nro no strik
ers ) at this point. Only one ihort line of
railroad runs out of San TrancUco , that be
ing the San Juan division ot the Southern
Pacific , and as no Pullman coaches are run
over that line the neat ot the trouble Is
Oakland , where many trains and tons of
mall und express are already tied up , The
delayed passengers , however , are In San
