SOVEREIGN IN CHICAGO.
Grandmaster Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor arrived In Chicago today
from DCS Molnes. He said ho hid como to
Chicago to render what assistance ho could
to the American Hallway union , and ho
should do whatever the officers of that organ
ization might determine would best serve the
Interest of the strike. He thought the ulti
matum of the movement was about reached ,
and It was Important that every labor organ
ization should put In Its best blows to win
the strike. Ho added : "This Is the most
critical period In the history of unionism In
America. It Is the time for every labor
leader to rally his forces and Join In the
struggle for existence. This will prac
tically bo a battle for self-protec
tion and for the future life of every work-
ingmcn's body In the country. No > one
can overestimate the Importance of winning
this conflict. Defeat will mean not a tem
porary setback alone , but a permanent and
everlasting disadvantage to disorganized
honor and honesty among the working people
ple of the land. That Is why I am hero
today. That Is why I will do wlmtevor the
American Hallway union thinks best as re
gards the ordering of a strike. As regards
a walkout on the part of the members of all
trades unions In the city , I will say that I
think it might bring about great good. Cer
tainly It would force upon the people a
stronger realization of the necessity of the
settlement of these struggles and the populace
would risecnmasse In a demand for arbitra
tion. Arbitration the laboring man Is not
afraid of. The capitalist , though , will not
accede to It. Mr. Debs stands ready to ac
cept a reasonable settlement. The general
managers do not. Public sentiment will
force the latter to change their tune.
An attorney called on Mayor Hopkins to
day to report that strikers were trying to
Intimidate the firemen and engineers In tlio
International Packing House refrigerator
plant. The stoppage of this plant means the
destruction of thousands of dollars worth of
meat. The mayor ordered forty-five men to
protect the plant.
Bishop Fellows of the Reformed church
nnd Rev. P. S. Henson , Baptist , called on
the mayor today and announced a mass meetIng -
Ing at Battery D Sunday afternoon. The
purpose of the meeting Is to discuss plans
for settling the strike.

CHICAGO , July 6. Two strikers were
killed outright , and others are thought to
have been , erlously Injured In a riot In the

The strikers began collecting-on the tracks
early , and at 10 o'clock'GOO "men wore , rush
ing Dp and down the yards , overturning
'freight cars , and blocking the tracks In every
manner possible. A force of about' 150 deputy
r United States marshals and Cook county
deputies were In the vicinity and charged
the mob at various places , driving small
squads of men from the yards. The strikers'
forces were rapidly recruited , and by half
past 10 1,000 frantic men were howling and
throwing stones over a. stretch of tracks a

engine \vaii detached and the cars over
turned ,
MADE A IlIO WHECK.
The craw had already fled , and the strikers ,
mounting the engine , carried It back a quar
ter of a mile , when , opening the throttle ,
they jumped from the cab and the locomotive
lushing fonvard at full speed , dashed Into
the wreck and tore through the derailed cars
until It was thrown upon Its side.
The crowd mounted the wreck with ex
ultant Cheers and held high carnival until
the forcftpf deputies prepared to charge. As
they catntf on the run they were met with a
shower of stones and coupling pins , and
halting , ojtencd flra. For a moment the mob
wavered as the bullets cut through their
ranks , and then with a howl they charged
the llttlo force of deputies , which retreated
to a safe distance to await reinforcements.
Police" details were hurried to the scene , and
the rioters continued the derailing' of cars
whllo waiting for the expected attack , care
fully concealing the dead nnd Injured men.
FOUR MORE REPORTED KILLED.
At 2:30 : this afternoon a pascngcr train on
the Baltimore ft Ohio which had been held
In South' Chicago all night was started for
the city under the guard of several deputy
marshals. At Forty-third nnd Ash streets
It was 'met by a mob , which fired on the
train , and at the same tlmo poured In volley
after volley of stones.
The trainmen and deputies al once re
turned the fire , nnd for three minutes a.
lively fuullade wng kept up. Four of the
strikers were hit and wera carried off by
their friends. None of { he men on the train
wcr hurt , and the train proceeded to tlio
depot without further Interruption. It was
reported later that at least four strikers
wcr killed In the strike , and several others
Injured.
DEPUTIES SHOOT TWO MEN.
Two deputy United States marshals almost
created a riot at Thirty-third street and the
Panhandle lost night , two men being shot
and painfully wounded. About 12 o'clock
two deputies , Eugene Koick and Michael
McCann , went Into a saloon at 3322 Wcsturn
avenue to got a drink. There was qnlto a
crowd standing around the place at the time ,
and the deputies were hooted at. When they
came out sotno one began throwing rocks at
them , and the deputies pulled their revolvers
vers and began firing. At this tlmo there
was a largo crowd around , and Henry Kohrer
and August Does received bullets In the arm
and leg. The shooting attracted the atten
tion ot the police , and the two men were ar
rested. IJy this time the crowd was thor
oughly enraged at the action of the deputies
and there were threats of lynching them.
They were guarded , however , by the police ,
wha finally took them to the station.
Fifty empty freight , cars were burned on
the Illinois Central tracks at Uurnsldc this
morning.
STONED THE FIUE DEPARTMENT.
Between midnight and morning the rioters
at the stock yards continued their attempts
at destruction ot railway property. Several
freight cars were fired , but no aerlous damage -
ago was dono. About midnight the rioters
cut the elecerfc light wires near Forty-sev
enth street , plugged the lire alarm boxes
and did everything possible to Impede the
work of the department. Whllo working
over one fire at Forty-ninth street the fire
men were stoned but not Injured. Patrol
man Burke went to the police box to call
the olllccrs and was shot at.
The Interference with the flro and police
alarm system was a new and dangerous
feature of the riot today , and the officers
were ordered to arrest any one caught In
that Ulnd of work. As yet the damage
to the wires Is not serious.
Freight cars were upset In all'polnts of the
stock yards during the night. Before 11 a.
in. today , notwithstanding comparative quiet
earlier , a message was sent to General Miles
warning him that the situation promised to
grow more serious today than It was yester- .
day.
day.The
The Idle mob resumed Us work of destruc
tion at the stock yards this morning. In
the vicinity of Halstead and Ashland avc-
nuo cars were overturned , switch shanties
burned and switches tampered with. The
police and deputies effected little restraint
upon the lawless doings. There were no
federal troops In the neighborhood.
A mob broke open three cars loaded with
general freight on the Wabash tracks at
Forty-fifth street early today and were
raided by the policemen. Eleven rioters
wore arrested.

Curs Overturned , Trains Stoned nnd Wrecks
Mudo by the Infuriated Men.
CHICAGO , July G. The day opened
threateningly and ominous signs were visible
everywhere In Chicago. At an early hour
the mobs began to assemble about the junc
tion points of the railroads , and before 9
o'clock It was evident that a great battle for
supremacy was onMayor Hopkins tele
graphed hastily to the governor asking for
flvo regiments of mllltla to aid him In pre
serving the peace.
Thousands of pcoplo gathered at Kensing
ton , a suburb adjoining the town of Pull
man and the junction point of the Michigan
Central and Illinois Central lines. There
were no troops there , but the tracks were
guarded by a small company of United
States marshals. Very soon a milk train
arrived on Its way to Chicago , and was the
signal for hostilities to begin. The mob
began an assault and were met with great
vigor by the marshals , who began lining al
most Instantly. Two of the rioters were
killed outright and a number were wounded.
A mad frenzy seized the people and they
rushed In , seized the milk train and began
tipping over the cars. They detached the
engine and ran it oft-a. half , mlle down the
track , htopped It , reversed It and opened the
throttle wldo and drove itback Into the
mass of overturned freight cars , scattering
the debris far and wide and rendering the
track Impassable In any direction. A fran
tic appeal was at once sent to Chicago for
assistance and troops were dispatched to tFie
scene.

streets.
One of the men arrested when the Hock

olllclals at 2 o'clock this afternoon announced
the resumption of the passenger service on
their road. The tracks had been cleared of
obilructlona and patrolled by the police and
guarded by the military , and It was thought
trains could be put through with safety.
Orders were- Issued to make up the regular
trains and start them on schedule time.
Military headquarters were established In

no difficulty In subduing the flame * after
they got on the grounds. This act of In
cendiarism was denounced on all sides.
At Burntldf. a station three miles nearer

cars were- standing upon the tracks. The
mob set tire to theaa and they were all prac
tically dwtroyed.
Very few northbound roads attempted to

The train leaving hero nt 0:45 : p. m. was

guard of United StateH marshals and police ,
with hopes of getting through , and It will
attempt to send out trains for tlio cast from

eral cars had also been thrown across the
track and were set on lire. The train was

The Western Indiana Is open for trafllc , but
there are largo mobs along the lines of the
tracks stoning trains as they pass.
The L. , N. , A. & C. abandoned Its train

Thls'mornlng three mall trains on the Fort
Wayne road were sent through the district
between Forty-eighth nnd Fifty-fifth streets ,
where the blockade existed yesterday. Dur

CHICAGO , July 6. Chief Deputy Don
nelly , who was In charge today of the United
States marshals at the stock yards , tele
phoned that comparative quiet prevailed
there this afternoon , but that no attempt
was being made to run trains. The chief
deputy said the military force at the stock
yards was not sufficient to protect trains ,
and that the railroads would not try to do
anything until the force was Increased.
Evidences today of the work of the mob
at the stock yards yesterday and last night
were visible everywhere. In the railroad
yards cars lay on their sides and tops on
nearly every spur and stdlng. On the main
lines ot the Rock Island , Fort Wayne and
Lalco Shore roads smoking embers showed
that the mob had not been content with
derailing cars.
From State to Halstead and Thirty-fifth
to Forty-third streets a network of railway
tracks was strewn with dismantled cars ,
wrecked switchmen's shanties , railroad tics
and other obstructions. The tall signal
tower at Fortieth street and the Rock Island
tracks was about the only thing left. The
police managed to defend that against the
mob. The crowd made threats this morning
that they would burn every railroad shop In
the city , the cars nnd all the property ot the
companies It the officials should try to move
trains without their help. As early as 7
o'clock this morning men began to gather
about the railroad tracks. The crowds were
thickest about the derailed cars , and every
token ot railroad loss was gloated over with
genuine enjoyment. Men who participated
in the destruction of the property told how
It was done and were applauded by the
crowd who listened.
The work of dcctructlon at the stock yards
was resumed this morning. At least $5,000
worth of railroad property was destroyed at
Forty-third street and Ashland avenue , Cars
and switch shanties were set on fire and the
flames spread to a hay barn at Forty-ninth
and Loomls streets and 400 tons of baled hay
were destroyed. The work of the firemen was
Interfered with by the mob. It was prac
tically Impossible to extinguish all the fires
that were started by the mob. Cars belong
ing to the Swift nnd Armor companies ,
standing on the tracks at Forty-ninth and
Aberdeen streets , loaded with meat , were set
on flro this morning.

Governor Altgeld ordered out the First and
Third brigades of the state mllltla , com

Chief ot Pollen Drcnnan was at his office
unusually early today , and at once began
making preparations for trouble , which , he
expressed the belief , would probably reach
Its climax today ,
"I shall go at once to the First precinct

"and iwear In 300 extra policemen. That

on this point , and they hava beVn ordered

TROOPS NOT DOING POLICE DUTY ,
When asked for a. statement , of the situa
tion from the position ot thu United States
army , General Ncbioa A. Mile * today said :
"If the order | Mayor Hopkins Is carried
out there wlll/llimy bplnlon , bo no further

trains. Our action now depends upon the
railroads , and our troops are hero to protect
these trains , anil when they nro ready to
move wo arc rcddy to protect them. "
ON THE VERGE OF DEATH.
General Miles , speaking of the destructive
tactics of the strikers nnd their sympa
thizers nt the stock yurds nnd railroads ,
said : "Tlioso men do not seem ( o realize
how close to death they are every tlmo they
attempt to stop a train nnd harass the
troops. That bloodshed has not yet taken
place Is duo to the extraordinary coolness
of the men and their wonderful self-control.
They have taken the jeers nnd sneers of the
crowd with great forbearance , and have
submitted to Indignities nnd Insults In a remarkable
markablemanner. . They will avoid any overt
act and resist by phyilcal force the pushing
of the crowd before they will use their guns.
If a shot Is fired , or an assault Is made
upon them while In the discharge ot their
duty , they will meet It , nnd when I contem
plate that , I cannot help repeating thnt they
do not know what they arc doing. "
General Miles Bald today that the mobil
ization ot federal troops on the lalco front
was prompted by a belief that their pres
ence near the business center of the city
was necossary. The Idea was to forestall
n concerted movement on the part of
strikers against prominent down town build
ings.
Captain McGunnlble , company F , Fifteenth
United States Infantry , who came Into the
city with his command from Grand Crossing
today , said : "This Affair has ceased to bo
a more lot ot skirmishes , and from today on
It Is In my opinion a campaign. I apprehend
that the tlmo for argument Is over. It Is
the stern business of war now. "

SAN FRANCISCO , July C. The strikers at
the Oakland yards and along the mole and
on the narrow gauge lines effectually main
tain the blocladu on all lines running down
the mole. Wherever the strikers nnd a live
engine they promptly take possession ot It ,
rake the fires , blow off the steam and leave
It dead on the tracks. There were no nets
of violence done. The sheriff of Alamcda
county arrested a man found engaged In the
act of killing uij engine. The man was re
leased on his promise not to Interfere with
railroad property. The strikers have no fear
of the mllltla. They say not a man now In
the armory will obey nn order to fire or use
the bayonet. Their authorities for this state
ment arc the boys In blue themselves.
From present- ' Indications the company will
maKe no effort fwre'su'me local and suburban
trafllc for sonfo' ' time to come , so the only
means ot bay' travel will be by the creek
route. Eastern and foreign malH and malls
from southern1' ' California and Arizona arc
being sent out by steamers north and south
to connect with TAll routes not affected by
the big strike. 'Oil' ths coast divisions malls
are sent out 'In a * baggage car , all of the
mall cars belrife tied up at the other end of
the run. ' -
WOMEN I EJjWNO THE STRIKERS.
The women jot Unkl.uu ' ! have organized a
woman's auxlljdry'jcasuo and will help the
strikers In cvqry i osslle ! way. The olllclals
realize that so fa'r as their Interests are
jconcerncd a verybarlcug blunder has been
committed in sending federal troops to Los
Angeles and 11he national gWWsmen to
Sacramento.i .Hath the plan been reversed ( he
situation todaya inject be reversed. . While
the" railroad , was" ! > frlvliis to recover" Its lost
'grourid , the' "stflkor made the1 Impdrtant
play dj seizing , the ferry system : To send
federal soldiers to Sacramento now will leave
Oakland without protection and the com
pany's officers are at u loss what to do.
There Is little doubt that the United States
authorities have' telegraphed the condition
of affairs to Washington and have urged
that the federal troops be called out. Every
thing therefore U dependent upon the action
of President Cleveland.
Ono ot the most Interesting problems dis
cussed In Oakland last night was the in
junction Issued against the railroad company
by the. United States district attorney of the
southern district of California. The Injunc
tion places the railroad upon the same footIng -
Ing us the strikers , so far as the mails are
concerned , and all are asking if the attorney
has acted upon Instructions from higher au
thority. If he has , the district attorney of
this district knows nothing of it and will
not tnko action unices he Is ordered to do so.
AVAILABLE TROOPS IN CALIFORNIA.
In case President Cleveland should call
upon the federal troops to quell the riot nt
Sacramento , he will have about 1,000 soldiers
in California at his command. These com
prise four troops of cavalry , nine batteries
of artillery and eleven companies of Infantry.
In a communication addressed to the
Chronicle , General Manager Towne of the
Southern PaclUc says : "Tho dally papers
are censuring the Southern Pacific company
for Its alleged refusal to run any trains be
cause the strikers now In control of the road
at many paints refuse to permit trains with
Pullman sleepers to be moved. From the
beginning of life present troubles the com
pany has been willing , Is now , and will In
future be willing , to run all of Ita trains.
If prevented by physical force or otherwise
from running tnilus whlcn require Pullman
oars for the accommodation of ordinary dally
traffic. It will nevertheless , It permitted to

trains which do not require sleeping cars. "
Tonight the Southern Pacific company
seems to bo no nearer to the management of
Its railroad In California. The striking A.
R. U. still controls the situation. Several
newspapers today published reports that the
company had weakened and that Pullman
coaches would -be withdrawn from all lines
within the state and freight and mall trains
started If the strikers would agree not to
molest such trains. This afternoon A. N.
Towne , vice president and general manager
ot the. company , Muted that such reports
were unfounded , and that the company would
positively not recede from Its position. In
other words , the road will run Pullmans or
none. The present outlook Indicates no
trains. One passenger left Portland , Ore. ,
for San Franclsco"thls morning , but It U not
believed It can resell-thin point without delay.
An occaslonartfatn'rs also running out of this
city on the ctfistflfllvlslon. A force of 100
policemen kepflhe ( strikers out of the rail

of San FranclscOyipounty the situation Is
different. TheSail , Luis Oblspl train was
stalled this mortllnj } Just across the river. A
crowd of striker * 'gJlliertd there and stopped
the train. Tho' llranlnn was taken off and the
engineer was "compelled to return to the

At SucrameijtjO.j where the situation la

There has been np travel there today , how
ever , as no furtiidr effort has been made to
move trains. Th strikers there are con
fident. They not only Inilst that Pullmans
must be withdrawn from the Southern Pa
cific , but today.their leaders went further
and declared that the men would not re
turn to work until flielr wages were re
stored to the scale of 1893. A committee
ot strikers went among the business men
ot Sacramento this morning and collected
over ? 2,000 for the maintenance ot the fam

CLKVBLAND , July C. After an all-nigh
session of the nn-mberi ot the A. R. U , , li
which every road running Into this city was
represented , It wan decided at an early hour
this morning to tlo up every Una ccntcrliif
In Cleveland. By 7 o'clock the Big Four
yards were reported dead with the exception
of an occasional passenger train. The nigh
torco had quit and the day men fatted to
appear for duty. A llko condition of affairs
prevailed on the Cleveland , Canton & South
era road , whore work ceased ut an early hou
and the yards were silent ns thu grave.
As soon as the long scslson of the A. R. U
came to an end , numerous committees were
started out In nil direction to notify the
men In the various yards to ccaso work
At 8 o'clock the Lake Shore men struck
Out ot forty-eight yard crows nnd engines 01
that road In this city , only one engine was
working and the men on that said they IKK
not yet bocn notified. Ono or two passenger
trains arlvcd nnd departed during the early
morning hours , but as long freight trains
were being constantly pulled Into the yards
and deserted on thu main track , It seemec
probable that a blockade would soon re
suit.
suit.Tho
The Cleveland & PlttsburR men promptly
stopped work when notified to do so by the
committee , and at S:30 : o'clock n. m. only one
crew out of thirty was nt work. The men
who struck are exclusively switchmen am
passenger trains will only bo affected by
freight blockades.
WILL ASK FOR AN INJUNCTION.
The engineers , firemen and road tralnmei
will not go on a strike , but the road mci
said they would not even couple up their owi
cabooses to trains that might bo mado. up
In other words , they would perform none o
the duties ot the striking switchmen.
United States District Attorney Colonel A
T Brltismado was aroused early tills morn
Ing and Informed of the morning's news
Ho said : "I have received Instructions fron
the attorney general of the United States
to file a bill praying for an Injunction , I
absolutely necessary. I had hoped there
would bo no occasion for any proceedings In
the United States courts hero. However
It appears that measures have been adoptee
by the A. R. U. In this city during the night
looking toward the prevention and obstruc
tion of the passage of the United States malls
and the Interstate commerce laws are belnt
violated. I shall therefore fllo a bill In the
circuit court here In obedience to my In
structions from the attorney general at once
or as soon as the names of the parties re
sponsible can be learned. "
NO VIOLENCE HAS OCCURRED.
By 9 o'clock nil the switchmen In the
Erlo yards had been notified of the strike
order and promptly deserted their posts
Passenger trains at that hour were stll
going and coming , but as In the case ol
other roads freight trains , which were Ml
standing on the main tracks , threatened
. to blockade all traffic in n short time.
The Valley ( Baltimore & Ohio ) switchmen
also went out early In the day , and the
yards of that road are practically dead.
The Nickel Plato men had not ceased work
up to 0:30 o'clock , and the yardmaster said
that work In the yards was progressing
as usual. It was evident , however , that
owing to the large territory covered by the
Nickel Plato yards the notification commit
tee had not succeeded in getting word tea
a great majority of the switchmen em
ployed by that company , and hence they had
not quit. At 10 o'clock every road leading
into the city , with the single exception of
the Nickel Plate , had felt the effect of the
strike , and freight traffic on all lines waa
more cr lesj congested , and the suspension
ot passenger trafllc In many tase ? seemo-l
imminent. The Nickel Plate has generally
abandoned passenger trains for the west In
consequence of the tie-up on the western
end of the road. So far as learned no
violence of any kind has occurred up to
this hour.

Not since 1S77 have railroad men been
called upon to guard their properties BO zeal
ously as during the past week. It has been
a week ot tension and Sunday will be wel
comed with joy and thankfulness , as wan In
dependence day , for It will mean , a day of
comparative rest for , many who have had
but from two to four hours' sleep In every
twenty-four. The clcslng of the Rock Island
offices yesterday afternoon brought realiza
tion to the clerks and subordinate officials
that the situation on their road was one of
the gravest peril. But not satisfied with
merely laying off the clerks , city passenger
agent , freight solicitors and others connected
with the city office , a bulletin was received
closing the local freight house In Council
Bluffs and refusing to allow a pound of
freight put on the platform , either In Council
Bluffs or Omaha consigned to parties on the
Rock Island. Freight Agent Snyder and the
telegraph operators are the only people left
unaffected by the order. Northwestern Pas
senger Agent Kennedy also excepted.
This condition on the Rock Island will
undoubtedly extend to the Union Pacific If
the situation docs not materially change In
the next twenty-four hours , although the
officials are very loathe to admit that such
will be their policy. But the fact remains
that not a pound of freight has been re
ceived from points west for nearly four
days , and when there Is no business nothing
Is left for the company but to go out of
business temporarily.
There has been little change In the local
situation In ( lie past clghtcun hours , the
"Overland" having succestfully reached
Evanston with n train of coaches , baggage
cars ami Pullmans , but the blockade In the
Ogdcn yards will hold the train at Evanston -
ton until the boycott Is lifted.
Late last evening a now difficulty con
fronted the officials of the Omaha line , when
a number of the firemen , who went out
Tuesday and resumed work Thursday , de
cided to go out again , and without any dis
play left their engines In the cnre of the
engineer. U handicapped the officials for a
time , but they v managed to tend out the
passenger trains on time , having decided to
abandon the attempt to get out freight train
No. 18 , as announced In the afternoon papers.
The situation was practically unchanged
on the other reads.
A telegram was received last night from
R. E. Morris , chief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers on the Nebraska di
vision of the Omaha line , stating that the
engineers were willing to take out trains
us usual. This encouragement leadu the
company to hope that It may bo able to get
Its trains through Sioux City today without
Interruption.
Information was received by the Union
Paclflp last night that the firemen at
Pocatcllo had voted to quit ,

Following the lead of the general offices In
Chicago , the Rock Island office in thin city
closed Its doors at 1 o'clock yesterday , all
the clerks being ordered out , and It lool ;
like a Sunday about the freight and passen
ger department of the road at this point.
It Is understood that all the clerks have
been suspended without pay until further
notice.
This action waa taken after a conference
of officials yesterday , made additionally
Imperative by the threatening condition of
affairs In the city by Lake Michigan.
The Union Pacific was able , with
the help of United States marshals ,
to get out of Laramlo two No , 7a
consolidated. At Rawllns there waa
considerable excitement ns the train
pulled through the yards , nnd at one time It
looked aa If a riot could not be avoided ,
but the presence of deputy marshals at the
doors of the cars and on the platforms hud
a salutary effect on the mob , and the train
passed through without molestation. The
official * decided to abandon the train at
Ogden on account of Ilia blockudo In the
Ogden yanlK , and until the blockade U lifted
will not attempt to enter Ogden.
No. 4 left Green River Thursday und ar
rived In Cheyenne yesterday without In
cident.
General Manager Dickinson slated that
the successful manipulation of the train
Thursday from Lararale pretty eenuralty
dlipoiied of passengers hold nt various
points by reason of the boycott , nnd he
thought with help from the government
the Overland would continue to get omo
trains through at bust.

headquarters of the Omaha Una It wno
stated that qutctncsft reigned In Sioux City ,
nnd thnt the operating department would at
tempt to get out freight tniln No. 13 nt
night If there was nny business to handli .
General Manager Hohlrego of the Hurling-
ton stated that beyond the trouhlo nt Kntisnt
City Thursday In the Ilannlbnl & St. Joe
ynrds the conditions on the Burlington were
about the same. Trnlns are running In nnd
out of Chicago practically on tlnio , but they
have almost given tip the Idt-n of transport
ing freight to Chicago. It boliiR Impossible

about the local freight depot of .tlio " ( J" In
Chicago It IH an Impossibility for wagons to
operuto In unloading freight nnd this lias
had n tendency lo shut down freight btul-
ness except to points known to bo entirely
free from strike Innucncesi ,
With HIP exception of Llttlo Rock nnd
Memphis the Missouri Pacific Is In bettor
shapu than for several dnys , although os
for passenger business there Isn't nny ns
people will not travel under present condi
tions of unrest. Yesterday the Mis
souri Pacific brought twenty-five cars of
cattle to Hammond from Kansas City.
Tlio Roclc Island olticinls state that No. 1
arrived at noon , having been detnlned nt
Blue Island some time and also In the Chicago
cage ynrds.
The Milwaukee train nrrlved In Oinalia
nbout twenty minutes Into , duo to detention
In the Chicago ynrds. The freight depart
ment of this rend Is practically refusing nil
freight for points cnst of the Mississippi
and Is handling llttlo western business.
Ofilclals of the Union Pacific have Imd
considerable difficulty In caring for needy
passengers blockaded nt western points
along thnt system , nnd many nlco points
hnvo arisen us to Just how far the company
was liable for detention of passengers given
to the Union Pacific by other roads. But
In all cases the company has done the
humane thing nnd taken care ot those who
have had no money to tide them over the
blockade. Quite a few second class pas
sengers have been In want and when thcjr
condition was made known to General Pas
senger Agent Lomnx the matter has been
turned over to the operating department ,
who at once went to the relit of the needy.
There are a number of passengers nt Coun
cil Bluffs , held there by the strike on the
western division of the Union Pacific , nnd
will bo kept there rather than allow them
to go forward with the possibility of being
stopped nt Cheyenne , Laramlo , Rawltns and
other towns between Cheyenne and Ogdcn.
They are now being kept at the expense of
the company , and everything Is being done
to make their condition easy during the
fight.

The officers of the Department of the
Plntto were unable to add any Information
to the military feature of the situation.
Adjutant General Schwan stated yesterday
that se\cral days ago n request was
made upon the department for troops from
Fort Russell to protect Union Pacific prop
erty at terminal points In Wyoming. This
request was repeated Thursday , but us
yet no orders have been received from the
War department to comply with the re
quest. With the exception ot two com
panies of regulars sent into Colorado from
Fort Russell the Department of the Plattc
has not been called upon to furnish troops.
General Brooke returned from Chicago
yesterday. He paid a high tribute to the
patience and forbearance of the regulars
now on duty In the city on the lake. Thu
mob stoned the troops , spat upon them.
Insulted them with opprobrious epithets and
heaped upon them every Indignity conceiv
able , nnd yet not a soldier relented the
treatment accorded him. Not a shot was
fired , not a man was injured , not even a
rioter pricked with a bayonet , and this , too ,
under circumstances that almost .seemed
to justify resentment.
The pfrtcicls at the department headquar
ters In The Bee building feel confident that
there are not enough regulars in Chicago
to successfully cope with the mob. The
rioters give way to the troops readily
enough , but another mob Is quickly formed.
One of the officers stated that It was very
much llko driving a small boat through an
angry flood of water. The boat passes
through unharmed and the waves part to
give It passage , but after the boat has
passed the water closes up again and In nn
Instant is as turbulent as ever. The situ
ation Is being watched from headquarters
with keen anxiety , and everything Is In
readiness for prompt action when the neces
sary orders come.

The Increasing seriousness ot the railway
situation has excited some little apprehen
sion of a coal shortage here In Omaha , but
up to the present time no difficulty has been
experienced In securing all the fuel that Is
necessary while the daily supply Is being
hauled Into , the city with Its usual regularity.
The two leading consumers of coal In Omaha ,
outside of the rnllroads themselves , are the
American Water Works company and the
Omaha Street Railway company. Superin
tendent Hunt of the former company stated
yesterday that the coal strike n few
weeks ago gave him a little foresight and
ho laid In n surplus of eighty cars ns a
measure of precaution. Those eighty cars
uro now here , thirty-eight of them being
already unloaded at Florence and the balance
In the yards here In the city. This would
enable the company to maintain Its works
for thirty days If further supplies were cut
off altogether. But In addition to this sur
plus the company Is iccelvlng Its usual supply
dally. The reserve will bo used only when
dally shipments cease.
At the office of the street railway company
no apprehension Is felt whatever. The com
pany la receiving all the coal It needs and
s experiencing no difficulty In doing so up to
the present time. Of course , if the supply
should bo shut off altogether the situation
might become embarrassing. No trouble Is
feared In securing all the coal needed to
< cop the motors running with their customary
flx-mlnutc regularity.

It Is estimated that 20.000 of these men ,

duty , guarding property and so on , thus
freeing the regular troops for offensive op

The president , It Is said , has full and com
plete authority under the constitution and
statutes to call for such levies of mllltla , and
ha may also , by virtue of the constitution ,
assume command of them nnd also of the Na

to any governor. It can be stated authori
tatively that there is no Immediate proupect
of a declaration of martial law by the presi
dent as to Chicago or the state of Illnols.
The principal purpose of such a declaration
would be to suspend the Issue of writs ot
