CHICAGO , July 3. Amid the explosion of
harmless engines of mimic warfare on tills
the eve of the nation's emancipation , a
sterner tragedy , In which the elements of
actual military power play the leading part ,
Is now being enacted. The Iron hand of the
federal government has been raised against
those who have tcoffed at the- mandates of
United States courts and used violence. The
glittering steel In the hands of men whose
trade Is only to kill Is Interposed to the
end that United States malls and Interstate
commerce shall once more assume Its normal
movement.
Traffic by rail In this city Is In a most
deplorable condition , every effort , to nilso the
embargo having met with every fjjrm of ob
stacles. President Cleveland today decided
that a show of military force must be made.
Tonight portions of the Seventh and Fif
teenth. United States cavalry from Fort
Sheridan , divided Into detachments of from
100 to 150 men and having a number of Cat
ling guns , are deployed at different points
throughout the city. This action seems to
have exercised a quieting effect on the strik
ers. Dy common consent- the strikers' com
mittee , It Is rumored , will call off their men
until after the Fourth.
Contrary to expectation , the riots at nlue
Island did not materialize , no radically ag
gressive action being taken by either side ,
and at a late hour tonight all was quiet.
President Debs of the A. n. U. tonight
stated a settlement of the strike on a basts
satisfactory to all concerned may be made
by Saturday. It Is thought a meeting of
the General Managers association and the
strike leaders may be held In forty-eight
hours. Mayor Harris Is In negotiations
with both sldea with this result In view.
Late tonight officials of the Chicago &
Northwestern announce that they have come
to an understanding with their men In every
department of the train service whereby all
their suburban passenger service will be re
sumed as usual tomorrow.
SUSl'KNSION IS ( iIiNiilAL.
Nearly livery Itonii In Chicago Has Ceased
to Move Tnilni.
ft CHICAGO , July 3. The boycott Is gradu
I ally spreading , and each hour the area cov
ered by It widens. There Is little change to
bo noted with respect to the roads already
reported as In trouble. A few of them are
struggling to move their passenger trains ,
but freight traffic Is practically at an end.
The- Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy , which
employs nonunion men , Is about the only ex
ception among the roads In Chicago.
The Chicago & Northwestern , which up to
last night had escaped trouble , fell Into line
during the night , and today Is completely
tied up. Its suburban tralHc Is very heavy ,
and great Inconvenience results from the
stoppage of this branch of Its business.
The Illinois Central , the Hock Island , the
Milwaukee & St. Paul and Great Western
all report a like condition.
The Nickel Plate road caught It today In
earnest. All the engineers , llremen , brakemen -
men and trackmen on the Chicago end of the
line stopped work simultaneously and without
warning , leaving things In a desperate state
of confusion. The worst effect of the walk
out was In the swampy regions several miles
from the city near Kensington. Hero a
whole tralnload of passengers from the east
were left to their own resources near the
Stony Island station. They had been brought
hundreds of miles and then left practically
In a wilderness , though almost within sight
of their destination.
Strikers stopped the train on the Nickel
Plate road which left the city at 7:35 : a. m.
iCt Ninety-second street and Stony Island
nvenue. The engineer and fireman were
compelled to leave their engine. The train
Is now In the hands of the strikers. Twenty-
ilvo deputy marshals were tit once sent to
the scene with orders to recover the train
and dispatch It on Its way cast.
Firemen on the Hock Island met at Forty-
Eeventh and Slate streets today and were
Instructed not to work with nonunion men.
Illinois Central engineers met today and
passed a re olutlon endorsing the strike.
Sheriff Gilbert has sworn In forty depu
ties to go to Uosclund and Lansing to pro
tect the bridges In the vicinity Of these
places.
A passenger train en the Baltimore &
Ohio was ditched at Hock Island Junction
today by strikers. The engineer was badly
hurt In lumping and the road wai com
pletely blocaded by the derailed train.
The Michigan Southern and Michigan Cen
tral have been suffering because they occu
pied terminal facilities jointly with the Illi
nois Central and Itoclc Island. Nevertheless ,
up to today they have been able to move
their passenger trattle with comparative ease.
The general tie-up at Detroit today stops
these two roads effectually. The Western
Indiana terminal , over which the Grand
Trunk , Chicago & Erie. Wabash , Eastern
Illinois , Santa Fe and Monon roads enter
the city , recovered from the first shock and
was handling Its passenger tralHc with a rea
sonable ) degree of elllclency up to last night.
Today all of the rouds are again In trouble.
A new diniculty Is presented by the re
fusal of the engineers and flremen to risk
their lives by working with green hands ,
and It Is also doubtless true that the rafl-
road managers themselves are not very anx
ious to force the lighting. They are exceed
ingly fearful of precipitating a battle on the
Fourth of July , and are playing a waiting
game. They are making no serious effort to
niovii their trains before Thursday morning.
They alto cay that a suspension of business
at this time Is not an unmixed evil.
"We are taking things very easy , " said
one of them this morning ; "we know per
fectly well that the freight U In the coun
try and must be moved sooner or later , and
oa all the roads arc Involved In this thing
U makes no difference to us when the
freight li moved , as we shall , ultimately
get our share of U. If any one or more
of the roads was free from the disturbance
It might rob the rest of us of our share ,
but we are acting tcgether , and this ques
tion has got to be settled sooner or later ,
and we feel It might as well be settled now
as ever. Wo are perfectly willing that
the public shall tuffer enough Inconvenience
to enable It to fully realize what the strike
means. It will not be long before the In
convenience resulting from this suspension
will be felt very keenly everywhere , and
then we believe public sentiment will be a
great factor In the extlnctlrn of Debs and
his people , I believe there Is a much
wiser way to nettle these trouble ) * than
would be an attempt to force the thing and
Injure the llvcj of a large number of faith
ful men. "
The price of provision ! Is advancing very
rapidly , and the hotels , restaurants and
private families are feeling It very keenly.
Fruits , Ice and all kinds of perishable pro-
.yislcns are commanding very high prices ,
and. Indeed , are now regarded an a luxury.
The coal famine Is becoming very serious ,
and a number of factories have been com
pelled to hut down. A number of brew
eries cease operations today. For the first
time In the history of Chicago not n single
carlcad of live stock arrived at the stock
yards by ral < today , while the shipments
of dressed meats Is practically at an end.
Vigorous effort ? are being made to Involve -
volvo the Intramural transportation lines
In the trouble , and It Is claimed that dur
ing the day the elevated roads and street
car lines will cease operations. A number
of them are using anthracite coal at great
expense , but even this Is growing scarce ,
and the president of the South Division
cable line lays he may be compelled to
stop for lack of coal. The same Is true of
the electric lines reaching to the suburbs.
rKKSIUKNT AND UAIIINI.T CONSULT.
.Sltiintlon Thoroughly Canva eil mid Troopi
lit riilrago Ordered Out.
WASHINGTON , July 3. The cabinet ses
sion began at 11 o'clock today. Secretaries
Morton , Smith and Carlisle were absent.
The great strike was the topic of discussion ,
and every phase of the situation was care
fully canvassed. Attorney General Olney
was the leading spirit , Inasmuch as through
him comes all of the Information bearing
upon the situation as reported from time
to time by the United States marshals , and
he had a pile of telegrams to read to his
associates. Even while the cabinet was
In session messenger boys were passing
between the telegraph offices and the white
house. The secretary of war laid before
his associates the plans of General Scho-
fleld , so far as they were perfected , for
meeting any emergency mat might arise ,
and they were approved. He also approved
the Instructions that had been given to Gen
eral Miles prior to his departure for Chi
cago. It Is understood that General Miles'
return to his headquarters was hastened by
an Intimation from the department that his
presence In Chicago was desirable at , this
juncture. The cabinet meeting ended about
o'clock , but within an hour Attorney Gen
eral Olney had further Information to com
municate. That it must have been of
an Important character was shown by
the fact that hasty calls went out from
the white house for the secretary of war
and General Schofleld. The latter was the
first to respond , and was soon In close con
sultation with the president. It Is not In
tended to allow the troops to act at the
whim of a deputy marshal who might "lose
his head" in the face of danger , and there
fore , while assisting in the discharge of
federal processes , the troops will be kept
strictly under military command in the
first Instance and , secondly , under the con
trol of the president. This Is provided for
by n general order Issued a little over a
month ago In the height of the Coxey dis
turbances.
The secretary of war , after a second con
ference at the white house today , made the
the following statement : "The United
States marshal and the United States dis
trict attorney nnd the United States judge
having ccrtlfiod to the president that it was
Impracticable to otherwise execute the or
ders of the court , the troops under com
mand of Colonel Crofton at Fort 'Sheridan ,
consisting of eight companies of Infantry ,
two troops of cavalry nnd a battery of light
artillery , have been ordered to Chicago to
enforce the laws of the United States. "
The order was sent In the shape of a tele
gram directed to Colonel Martin , General
Miles' adjutant general , and the next In
command of the Department of the Missouri
In bis absence.
11 KMKAI. : MILES LL'AVIi-j WASHINGTON.
lie riays the Government Expects Assist
ance front All Good Citizens.
WASHINGTON , July 3. General Nelson
A. Miles , commanding the Department of
Missouri , who was recalled from a leave of
absence for consultation with the officials
concerning the strike situation , left for
Chicago over the Baltimore & Ohio road
today to resume control of the government
troops concentrated at that point. He was
accompanied by Captain Marlon P. Maus ,
one of his aides. He had a further con
ference with the officials here before leaving.
Just as he was leaving the Army and Navy
club for the railroad station he said to an
Associated press reporter that while the
government would use Its strong arm to
prevent violence and see that the law was
enforced it hoped for the assistance and co
operation of all law-abiding citizens In this
work.
The War department was In a state of
expectancy today and was doing nothing
but waiting developments. General Miles
had a talk with Secretary Lament before
the latter went to the cabinet meeting and
then held a long conference with Major
General Schofleld , commanding the army ,
and Adjutant General Huggles respecting
the situation. The only official news re
celvcd at the War department came In the j
shape of a few dispatches to General Scho
fleld from the far west.
The War department will follow the
policy which was FO successfully employed
In dealing with the Commonwealers In the
west. The United States courts will take
the lead with their marshals and the army
will assist them only. At the first Inter
ference of making up or moving trains , the
facts having been reported to the courts ,
warrants will be Isued for the arrest of
ring leaders on a charge of cont3mpt. The
marshals will endeavor to serve these war
rants nnd If they meet with resistance be
yond I lit I r power to overcome the troops
will assist In making the arrests. Once
brought before the courts the prisoners
probably will bo Immediately sentenced to
jail beyond the relief of ball or of any
process of delay save a writ ot habeas
corpus , which they are unlikely to get from
any court at this time.

COUNCIL BLUFFS , July 3. ( Spsclat to
The Bee. ) Old Liberty hall , the rendezvous
cf the Ccuncll Bluffs assembly of the Amer
ican Railway union , was crowded to Its
very dears last evening , and the four walla
of the structure fairly shook with the round
after round of appltuse which greeted the
speakers and which rose from 700 tympa-
thetlc throats.
Mr. Charles Wurren acted as chairman of
the meet'ng ' , and as the first speaker of the
evening presented Kev. Dr. Muller of Chi
cago. Mr. Muller has been a resident of
Chicago for the i st two years , and Is thor
oughly conversant with all the dctallt of
the strike and trouble at Pullman , from Us
beginning to the present time. He said :
"The only excuse for talk In a time like this

here may be and are probably not con-
vervant wllh the origin of the trouble at .
Pullman , and R Is more to them than to '
others that my remarks are addres ed this
cvanliih' . The strike at Pullman was the
direct result of the robbing of the laboring
man , uot because times necessitated such ac

for It. The stork of the Pullman company
has been "watered" three times , and It Is

SACRAMENTO , Cal. , July 3. Sacramento
was the scene of a violent demonstration
on the part of the railroad strikers this after
noon. The Southern Pacific company at
tempted to break the blockade here and
send a westbound overland train to San
Francisco. Preparations had been made fqr
this attempt for a day or two past , but the
effort resulted In a complete failure. As
soon as a start was made n mob of 3,000
strikers who had been removed from the
Immmllate vicinity of the train previously
swept down upon the train and dragged
United States Marshal Baldwin from the
cab of the engine. The strikers knocked
him down and the deputies and police who
tried to Interfere were powerless. Many In
the mob shouted : "Kill the marshal , " but
the latter drew his revolver , and several
deputies who had forced their way through
the crowd did the same. The strikers were
obliged to fall back and the marshal finally
escaped to the railroad offices. The attempt
to move the train , however , had to be
abandoned for the time being. The strikers
cut the train In two and then they com
menced to scatter the cars and disable the
engines in the yards. Marshal Baldwin ,
realizing his utter helplessness sent a dis
patch to the governor , explaining the situa
tion and recommending that the national
guard be called upon for duty at Sacramento
ut once.
All day there has been the greatest excite
ment In the vicinity of the Southern Pa
cific yards. Early this morning people began
to assemble there , and long before there
had been any actual disturbance thousands
of people were surging with the strikers
through the railroad grounds and streets
adjoining. There are 3,000 strikers at this
point , Including the men who went out of
the railroad shops , and nearly all of them
were In the excited throng. Before 10 o'clock
In the morning the United States
marshals ordered the crowd to leave
the yards and the depot. The
strikers offered no resistance and quietly
withdrew. On the street near by. Chairman
Knox of their mediation committee , ad
dressed the strikers , advising moderation.
The powerful force of officers , Including
fifty deputies under United States Marshal
Baldwin , the entire city police force and the
chsrlff and all his deputies , was then
thrown Into the yards. All the gates lead
ing to the railroad yards were closed and
barred. Then ropes were stretched across
the different entrances to the depot and po
ll ce put there to deny anmittance.to every
one. When these precautions had been
taken , General Superintendent Fllmore an
nounced that a train would be made up and
dUp.ttchcd to San Francisco.
OFFICIALS MAKE UP A TRAIN.
The division master mechanic fired up a
switch engine and moved slowly up the
yards. This was the signal for a threaten
ing howl from the mob that surged outside
the fences. The '
railroad officials Ins'de ran
a Pullman down the yards and proceeded
to make up a train for San Francisco. The
strikers began to threaten that the train
shculd not leave the yards. Finally , when
ssveral coaches were In position on the
main track , another locomotive that was to
haul the train to Sin Francisco appeared
on the scene. United States Marshal Bald
win was In the cab as the engineer. At
this juncture an ominous shout went up
from the strikers and their sympathizers ,
and before any resistance , could be offered
,1 mob came up and passed the guards sta
tioned around the depot. The rioters bore
down upon the train In the yards. The of
ficers and guards made little attempt at re
sistance. In the tumult that followed the
police and deputies were driven frcm their
positions , Marshal Baldwin was dragged
from the cab , thrown upon the ground and
trampled upon , and the train was cut and
the coaches scattered.
With the greatest effort Baldwin regained
his feet and drew two revolvers. Though
he was unable to shoot , the rioters being
upon him and having him all but at their
mercyi ho managed to force his way
through the angry strikers , many of whom
were loudly demanding his life , to the divi
sion superintendent's office. This ended the
attempt to move the train out of Sacra
mento , and the strikers then applied their
efforts to disabling engine and cars.
REGULARS ARE STALLED.
SAN FRANCISCO , July. 3. With rioting
In progress at Sacramento and three regi
ments of state militia under orders to pro
ceed to that point , with six companies of
United States Infantry en route to Los An
geles , another center of disturbance , and
with a horde of strikers in Oakland ripe for
riotous action , the whole people of California
are In the midst of great excitement.
Such events as the railroad strike has de
veloped have heretofore been unknown In
California. I Tonight the tie-up on the South
ern ( Pacific and Santa Fe systems Is as com
plete as It has been at any time during
the five days since the blockade was Insti
tuted , and , owing to the disturbances that
have arisen , the situation Is graver than It
has been at any time heretofore. Out of
Oakland and San Francisco n few suburban
trains are running. In this city a force of
100 policemen and halt us many deputy
sheriffs prevent trouble in the railroad
yards.
At Oakland , notwithstanding a strong po
lice patrol , the strikers became riotous today
and seized two trains. They also took pos
session of the station and railroad yards at
Sixteenth street , effectually blockading for
a time all railroad business In and out of
the city. A conductor who attempted to
run his train past Sixteenth street was se
verely beaten. The police were unable to
cope with the rioters. More serious trouble
Is feared there. When six companies of
the United States Infantry were called Into
action and ordered to Los Angeles It was
believed the strikers would offer no resist
ance to their passage. Tonight , however ,
the train bearing the troops Is stalled at
Uakersfield , this , side of the Mohjnve des
ert , nnd It Is not known how soon they can
be transported over the Teh'achapl grade
and the desert. When the train arrived at
Bakersfleld at 1:30 : this afternoon , the en
gineer deserted , leaving his train on the
main track , ar.d tonight the train Is still
blocked at that point.
TOOK MRS. STANFORD THROUGH.
Mrs , Jane Stanford , widow of the late Leland -
land Stanford ar.d executrix of the great
Stanford Interest In the Southern Pacific ,
continues to play a romantic , or at least a
picturesque part In the desperate struggle
now being waged between the company and
the A. R. U. Today Mrs. Stanford , borne
by the A. R. U. men , had a triumphal entry
Into the city. Her car , decked with Hags
and bright bunting , came Into Oakland this
afternoon , and at Sixteenth street yards was
lustily cheered , though the very mob of
strikers had stalled a passenger train on a
parallel track. The determined committee
of fourteen A. R , U. men that hail brought
Mrs , Stanford's engine and car from Duns-
mulr , on the Oregon blanch , saw that her
car went straight through to the ferry. Sev
eral division officials at Oakland attempted
to board the car , but were thrown to the
ground , They were sternly Informed that
that was an A. R. U. ( rain. Interviewed
tonight , Mrs. Stanford said : "I never passed
through anything like this before , but never
In my life was I treated more kindly than
I have been by these men. I hone far their
sakes that the difficulty will soon be set
tled. The fourteen men who brought me to
the city were as gallant as possible. Up at
\VIII wb they escorted me to a hotel. They
bad been so kind that I told the hotel pro
prietor not to let them pay n , cent for their
accommodations. I said I would settle the
bills. He told me that the A. R. U. men
had paid everything. Everywhere they were
so kind , faying they did It In remembrance
pf the manner In which my husband had
treated them. "
FIREMEN AND SWITCHMEN RESIGN.
L03 ANGELES. July 3. Nothing new
developed In the strike today and everything
Is quiet. No attempt was made to move
trains. The grand jury has found several
Indictments , but they will not be made pub
lic until arrests are made. The trial of
Conductor Hcnrtt , who Is charged with con
tempt of court In resigning his position after
he had accepted his running' orders , was com
menced. llcartt said he resigned because
the crowd was threatening when he started
to take the train out. He said ho had re
ceived no Instructions to stclkc from Presi
dent Debs. The Western Union Telegraph
company was called upon to produce certain
telegrams alleged to have been sent by Debs ,
but refused. Judge Ross will rule on the
matter tomorrow.
Late this afternoon the switchmen and firemen -
men of the Southern Pacific company re
signed In a body and the car men went to
headquarters for the same purpose , but their
foreman was not present and their resigna
tions will be presented later. It Is expected
the engineers will also resign when formal
orders to report for work reach them.
General Rugcr , with the United States
troops , has not reached the city yet.
iii'UTiis : AKI : NO GOOD.
General .McCook li Iteady to Call Out All
tli IteKtiliir * In Ills Department.
DENVER , July 3. General McCook Is
preparing to use all the soldiers In his de
partment If necessary to 'nld In the moving
of railroad trains. In addition to having
sent five companies frcm. Fort Lcgan to
Trinidad he has moved two companies from
Santa Fe , N. M. , to Raton.
General McCook says deputy marshal.1 ! are
worthless as fighters and that the presence
of regular soldiers will have greater effect In
quieting disturbance and moving trains than
any oth ° r force. ,
The situation here was unchanged up to
10 o'clock. All the railroad companies sent
out their morning passenger trains. The
Denver & Rio Grande was unable to move
Its trains west of Sallda last night. The
road's employes at Pueblo , Salida and Grand
Junction arc on strike and It Is presumed
that Debs' order for a strike at Denver and
ether points on the line will be obeyed. It
Is also expected that the local assembly of
Knights of Labor will order a strike on the
roads which the A. R. U. Is trying to tie up ,
as General Master Workman Sovereign has
telegraphed that he will support Debs.
One train from the east came In over the
Santa Fe last night and another today. The
Santa Fe will send a train west today.
President Jeffery Is circulating constantly
among the employes of the Denver & Rio
Grande road and striving1 in every possible
manner to Induce them to remain loyal to
the company. The fact Is a hot battle Is
In progress between President Debs and
President Jeffery , the one trying to break the
Rio Gra rule's transcontinental connection and
the other endeavoring to keep the system
open and the trains In operation. The
American Hallway union has succeeded In
shutting off transcontinental traffic , but the
Rio Grande is a distributing channel for the
Burlington , Alton , Kansas Pacific and North
western railways and covers a large terri
tory. The Rio Grande had no men In line
at Pueblo except volunteers and there Is
a tieupat Sallda. Between Denver and
Pueblo the trainmen are taking out their
runs regularly. . , "
The Gulf road Is operating north of Den
ver and Is preparing , with the protection of
United States troqps and- deputy marshals , "
to open up the southernline. . Seventy-five
more deputies were sent today to Trinidad ,
where It Is Intended to make wholesale ar
rests of strikers.
Santa Fe trains are running to nnd from
the east and an attempt will be made to
open up the line west as soon as the troops
arrive at Raton. At last accounts the troops
from Fort Marcy , enroute to Raton , were
"
near Las "Vegas , where their train was
stalled , owing to the desertion of the engineer
and fireman.
Union Pacific , Burlington and Rock Island
trains to and from Denver are running reg
ularly. As no freight trains are run , vast
quantities of freight are being sent by ex
press. All perishable goods are received at
the sender's risk.
Denver's coal supply Is short and It Is
doubtful If the cable company's cars can be
kept running another day.

since the Pullman-American Railway union
strike WHS Inaugurated , the trouble experi
enced by the Omaha road at Sioux City
,
being transferred to this city , though In n
minor degree. While a number of the fire
men connected with the Chicago , St. Paul ,
Minneapolis & Omaha road refused to take
their places on the engines , thereby tying
up travel to n large extent , the officials of
the company managed by dint of herculean
efforts to get several landed trains out of
the yards. No. 2 , which Is scheduled to
leave the Webster street fetation ut 12:15 : p.
m. , managed to clear the yards at 12:55 : , but
the delay , according to the authorities , was
due to the loading of a large amount of
express matter.
Trouble was looked for last evening on
the departure of train No. 22 for St. Paul ,
which leaves here ut 5:30 : p. m. . but the an
ticipated difficulties failed to materialize , for
the reason that No. 22 was abandoned , no
equipment being available , Inasmuch as the
Sioux City & Pacific train , No. 21 , which is
due to arrive In Omaha at 9:40 : a. m. , had
been abandoned at Sioux City.
There was a considerable crowd about the
platform of the Webster street station , evi
dently drawn thither to see n conflict be
tween the employes of the company nnd the
strikers , but It became noised around about
ten minutes before the time for the depart
ure of the train that It would not be tent
forward , and , shortly after , the crowd dwin
dled to a few passengers waiting for other
trains out of the Fame depot.
On the Council Bluffs side the St. Paul
, train ' was tent out via Manilla Instead of
the usual route last night , notwithstanding
that the train un the Sioux City road , due at
9:22 : a. m. , had not reached the Bluffs at a
late hour last night.
Concisely , the situation on the Omaha line
ut this point is threatening , nnd there seems
to be a well founded rumor that the strikers
here will follow the tactics of their brethren
In Sioux City. It was also rumored that on
Thursday morning an order would be Issued
from the general offices of the company In
St. Paul laying off all superfluous help pend
ing the settlement of the strike difficulties.
This Is In line with the action of the North
western , taken yesterday through General
Manager Whitman , whereby 10,000 men get
a lay off because of no work to do.
LAY OFFS ALL AROUND.
But the Northwestern Is not alone In the
reduction business , both the Milwaukee and
Rock Island having decided upon the same
policy , and the freight forces of both roads
were given notice that It would be a goou
tlmo to take a vacafon until they were
needed.
Freight Agent Denton of the Rock Island
at Council Bluffs Is holding down his of
fice all alone , his subcrdtnates being laid off
for want of work to do.
The ofllca and platform forces at the Unlur.
"Pacific transfer were'each cutIn * half * yeB-
terday morning , nnd will , take 'tnrns"Mn'
working , a day at a 'time. '
This Is probably a forerunner of what will
bo the policy of the Union Pacific at all
points , and a general order from Mr. Dick
inson may be looked fcr at any time should
the strike continue over Thursday.
South Omaha packers were 'feeling jubilant
last evening over the information from the
Missouri Pacific that It would take pack ng
houss product for St. Louis and southiyest-
ern points , General Manager Doddrldge hav
ing succeeded In lifting the boycott In the
St. Louis yards , the strikers at St. Louis
and Carcndolet having gone back to work.
While Omaha continues to be exceedingly
fortunate In the matter of the strike. It was
rumored last night that the A. R. U. would
attempt to enlist all Western Union and
Postal Telegraph operators In the cause , and
If 75 per cent of the lightning manipulators
In this city could be Induced to join the
union they would be called out with their
Chicago and St. Louis brethren.
Headquarters of the Omaha lines will bs
closed today , but while the small boy fires
his ' cannon crackers the heads of depart
ments will be found at their several desks
watching the progress of the strike and ad
vising with subordinates as to the course ID
bs pursued In dealing with the strikers. It
will be an anxious day for every railroad
magnate In the country , and for tome of
them It may prove a sorry Independence
day.

Hoping against hope , railway officials had
thought that being situated so peculiarly as
to the make-up of trains the tie-up might
not extend to this city , but Monday night and
yesterday ten firemen on the Chicago ,
St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha line left
their engines , almost tying up the busi
ness In the Omaha yards.
The trains affected were Nos. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 13 ,
1C , 17end IS , and two switch engines , one
switch engine doing the work that has to ho
done in the way of setting In and taking out
freight cars.
At S o'clock yesterday the fireman on
No. 4 refused to go out , and Superintendent
Jaynes hustled around for some one compe
tent to Are the engine , finally succeeding in
getting a blacksmith from the Union Pacific
shops. With the engineer , the newly ap
pointed fireman , and Superintendent Jaynes
In the cub , No. 4 , a mixed train , pulled out
through the yards , but when the crossing
was reached ut Locust street , the Union
vI
Pacific I blacksmith deserted tils post and took
a street car fur town , leaving the train dead ,
although Superintendent Jaynea attempted
to shovel coal , but not with any apparent
success.
Later one of the firemen on the switch en-
glne volunteered to make the trip , und at 1
o'clock No. 4 cleared the yards.
The Sioux City express was one hour late
In starting , owing to a delay In securing
the services of a fireman. At 1 o'clock ,
In the afternoon the train pulled out of the
yards , the engine In charge of one of the
oldest engineers on the road , while with
him ha had a nonunion fireman. As the
train started some twenty of the striking
flremen started from the rear of the train ,
going toward the engine , but they were
pressed back by a squad of police who had
been detailed for duty at the depot.
On the Sioux City & Pacific the train
that should have reached Omaha at 9:40
In the morning did not arrive until 1:15 : In
the afternoon , It being held In the yards at
Sioux City by a howling mob.
SWITCHMEN STILL WORKING.
Monday morning a notlcu was posted In
the Omaha round house for the firemen to
go out , but the order was not obeyed until
night.
The switchmen and yardmen are still at
work , although Monday night several mer
chandise cam were removed from the freight
platform , the switchmen refusing to set
them back , The crew yesterday , however ,
set them Into their former places. How
soon the switchmen will go out Is a much
debated question , the Impression being that
Oot a wheel will bo turning In the Omaha
yards by this morning.
A bulletin was posted In the Onnha round
house yesterday to the effect that engi
neers should hold their places until further
orders from the chief engineer , but one of
the throttle workers told a Bee reporter yes
terday that rather than see the strike go
against the forces of labor the engineers on
the Omaha system would quit their engines
as Individuals and not as members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
At headquarters It was stated that the
engineers had given notice that they would
take out their trains wltn any experienced
fireman and would be found loyal to the
company.
General Manager Dickinson In reviewing
the situation on the "Overland" said : "We
succeeded In moving t\\o delayed trains
front Laramle to Rnwllns with the assist
ance of United States marshals yesterday
afternoon. But these trains were again
held up at Itaullns from 9 p. m. last night
until 9 this morning , when they were
started forward on their way to Green lllv r.
No. 7 of July 1 was laid up at Laramle last
night , but \\e expect that It moved forward
At noon today , providing that firemen were
secured. Local trains between Ogden nnd
Salt Lake are moving nil right nnd on 1 > .c.
We have had no trains out of Ogden since
June 30 , but with the assistance of United
States marshals we hope to get an Overland
train east today. Every wheel Is dead on
the Idaho division and there are no freights
of nny kind moving west of Cheyenne. "
"Generally speaking , " said Mr. Dickinson ,
"all firemen between Rawllns nnd Green
River are out. "
ON THE ROCK ISLAND.
The situation on the Rock Island Is stated
by Gsneral Northwestern Passenger Agent
Kennedy as fellows :
Train No. 7 went out on time yesterday
morning.
Train No. 1 , due hero at CCO : a. m. , ar
rived at 2 p. m.

tween Jollct nnd Blue Island and In the
thick of the fight at that point.
General Agent Nash of the Milwaukee
says of his line : "We are not receiving
stock or perishable freight for delivery at
Chicago , St. Paul or Minneapolis , nor are
we receiving freight for lines reached by
the Chicago Belt Line. Passenger trains
generally over the system are moving reg
ularly and with full equipment. "
The Northwestern people stated that No.
3. due here at 9:50 : a. m. , arrived about
noon , but some difficulty was experienced In
getting the train out of Council Blurts. No.
1 Is reported on time and will have for the
west at 2:13 : p. m.
Traveling Passenger Agent Tcedrlck of
the Pennsylvania line received a telegram
from Assistant General Passenger Agent
II. R. Decrlng at Chicago stating that not
withstanding reports to the contrary the
Pennsylvania Is taking care of Its business
In good shape , trains arriving and departing
on time.
The situation on the Missouri Pacific has
'not materially changed. Not a man
Is out between Omaha and Kansas
City , and Mr. PhllllppI is authority for the
statement that the men show little disposi
tion to join the strikers , being generally
satisfied with their positions. From very
reliable sources It tvns ascertained that all
passenger trains on the Missouri Pacific
were leaving on time.

SIOUX CITY. July 3. ( Special Telegram
to The Bee. ) The strikers control the situa
tionhere , tonight. At G o'clock the engl-
* ncers" * and flremen Joined the strike'on the
Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul road , making
the tie-up of that line complete. The Sioux
City & Pacific and Sioux City & Northern
were the only roads to get freights out to
day. The strikers , 2,000 strong , have been
In the yards all day , and as n result no
freight or passenger trains got out on the
Omaha or Illinois Central. No freights were
permitted to go on the Milwaukee , but the
passenger trains went out with "scab"
crews.
The strikers openly defied the United
States marshal and refused to permit rail
road men to open spiked switches and let
mall trains pass. Tonight the United States
marshal and deputies and sheriff and
deputies tried to get a mall and passenger
train out on the Sioux City & Pacific. The
mob swarmed around them and drove them
from the tracks. The train had to be
abandoned.
The sheriff and police are powerless to
prevent the mob from spiking bwltches ,
holding trains and ditching cars. The
Fourth regiment of the state militia has
been In the barracks since last night ready
to move , but Governor Jackson has so far
refused to order them out. It Is believed
the scenes of tonight will bring out the
militia in the morning and possibly some
regulars from Fort Omaha.
The railroad companies here all served
the county and city with notices today that
they will hold both responsible for all damage -
ago to prop'-rty and business. Business of
all kinds Is at a > tandstlll , and hundreds of
through passengers , who were held on the
trains last night , are In the city , unable to
get out.

CRESTON , la. . July 3. ( Special Telegram

officials at this point In discharging two
brotherhood brakemen for refusing to go to

lodge held a meeting to Investigate the mat
ter , but refused to make known Its action.
It Is understood that Chief Wilkinson of.
Galcsburg has been asked to have the men
reln-tated. If this request Is not complied

WASHINGTON , July 3. In the midst ot
Intense excitement , at 10:15 : tonight , after
having been debated for three months and
one day , the tariff bill , amended to take
effect August 1 , ISO I , passed the senate by
a vote of 34 to 3'J , a strict party vote , ex
cept Mr. Hill , who voted with the repub
licans against the measure. The populists
divided their strength , two , Messrs. Kyle
and Allen , voting In favor of the bill , and
two , Messrs. Pcffcr and Stewart , against It.
At the very opening of the last day of the
great struggle Mr. Harris , the veteran parlia
mentarian In charge of the bill , announced
that It would pass today , the 3d of July , or
there would be no Fourth of July for the
senate of the United States. Until evening
there was no sensational Incidents. A hard ,
but hopeless fight was made by the repub
licans under the leadership of Mr. Sherman
to place wool on the dutiable list. Through
the Instrumentality of Mr. McLaurln of Mis
sissippi the action of the committee of the
whole In exempting the salaries of United
States judges and the president of the United
States from the operation of the Income tax
was preserved In the senate. A very Im
portant piece of legislation In the shape ot
an anti-trust law was placed on the bill 03
a rider without even so much as a division.
It was designed , as Mr. Voorhees , chairman
of the finance committee , bald , to Insure.
"Integrity In the execution of the law , " It
being admitted that any tariff system af
forded abundant opportunity for the forma
tion of trusts and combines. The galleries
were filled to overflowing , many prominent
ladles and gentlemen being present to wit
ness the final disposal of the bill and the
scene was truely a brilliant one. Half a
hundred members of the house were on the
floor.
HAD ALLEN ON THE RACK.
It was amid such
surroundings that the
climax occurred , when Senator Allen , the
Nebraska populist , smarting under the sting
of a double defeat. In thunderous tones de
nounced the democratic members of the
finance committee and charged them with '
bad faith in taking advantage of his Ignor
ance of parliamentary procedure to Induce
him to offer the amendment , thus releasing
their democratic colleagues under the caucus
agreement for voting for them. Ho
harangued the senate and the galleries , and
Intimated that he had been tricked.
Mr. Vest , on behalf of the committee ,
hotly denied the charges and upbraided Mr.
Allen for delivering his philllplc while In
pique over his own defeat.
Mr. Manderson seemed to enjoy the plight
of his associate , and , with an Irony that
burned and a sarcasm that withered , he ex
tended his sympathy and warned him to be
ware before he again allied himself with the
democrats. He found too late that he was
unhorsed.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas also drove the Iron
Into the Nebraskan's soul. He challenged
the truth of his statements and scored lilm
unmercifully for attempting to place the
committee In a false light. For an hour
after the excitement caused by this exchange
of criminations occurred the proceedings
were extremely dull.
Mr. Power made a final effort to secure a
duty on wool.
Mr. Pettlgrew tried to get through a pro
vision for a tariff commission. Mr. Munder-
son made a last attempt to substitute A
diminishing bounty for the sugar schedule.
Mr. Shoup of Idaho , In an almost Inaudible
voice , read a speech In support of a duty on
mineral waters , and Mr. Smith explained
why he should vote for the bill , Income tax
and all. Meantime the senators , with coats
and vests oft and with palm leaf fans In their
bands , sat languidly In their scats or saun
tered about the chamber , waiting for the
final moment. As the bands of the clock
drew towards the hour of 10 the final
speeches began. Mr. Allen , somewhat to the
wonderment of the galleries , , nftcr bis out
break early In the evening , told the senate
why he had concluded to vote for the bill ,
LAST SCENE OF ALL.
The most dramatic Incident occurred when
he took his seat and Mr. Hill arose and In
ringing and fervid tones entered an eloquent
protest against the "popuilstlc Income tax"
and arraigned his party associates for being
false to their party pledges and their coun
try. The republicans drew around him as
he spoke , the galleries leaned over as ho
dealt his sledge hammer blows. When , In
conclusion , he declared that he would not
support the bill , a wave of applause , quickly
checked by the vlca president , swept over
j the gallery , A final word of protest fol
lowed from Messrs. Aldrlch , Chandler and
Manderson , < ind the supreme moment was
at hand. The bill was placed upon Its passaga
ami the roll was called ,
When Mr. lilanchanl declined to vote on
the first roll call und Mr. Cattery , the other
Louisiana senator , voted against It , a shudder
ran through the democratic side of the cham
ber. The fate of the bill might depend upon
the vote of Mr. Irby. Wlipn his name was
reached the democrat ! ! heaved a sigh of re
lief as ho voted "yea. "
After the completion of the roll call , al
though It was apparent f.iat the bill would
carry without the vote of either Mr. Caffery
or Mr. Blanchard , Mr. Caffory changed his
vote to "yea , " explaining that he had voted ,
no as a protest against the bad faith of the
j finance cummlttt-o In abandoning the augur
bounty provision , and Mr. Blanchard joined
his colleague. Upon the announcement of
the vote , 34 to 39 , the galleries cheered ,
democrats throw bills high In the air , and
amid a scene of jubilation the senate ad
journed , the lights In the dome were ex
tinguished and the tariff bill had passed.
ROUTINE OF THE DAY ,
Mr. Harris promised ut the opening ot tha
senate session that u final vote on the tariff
bill should be reached during the day , If
there were no factious obstructions. Mr.
Aldrlch virtually pledged republicans to per
mit the bill to progress. The expected amend
ments to the paragraphs on burlaps , ect , , ami
collars and cuff * were quickly adopted. Mr.
Sherman moved for the transfer of raw wool
and hair of the camel and goat to the- free
list. Lout , 32 to 33 ,
The senate has fixed the date when the
tariff bill goes Into effect as August I , 1894.
Mr. Harris usked unanimous consent that
further debate on thn wool tchedule bo under
the I flve-mlnute rule , but Mr. Power objected.
Mr. Faulkner Halted that the committee
amendment on the wool schedule as a whole
be agreed to , and It was done , the commit
tee amendments to th silk schedule being
taken up , and then copying paper , filtering
paper , tissue pap r , etc. . were raised from 30
to 35 per cent ad valorem.
When bituminous coal wiu reached Mr.
Hill renewed his motion made In committee
of the wbolo to place coal tin th * free list.
