4,000 rounds of ammunition which had just
been sent from Springfield by Governor Alt *
geld. The sheriff swore In extra men tc
bear these arms. The new recruits were
sent out to relieve the regular deputies and

force of 2SO deputies , huddled together In
the cars that blockade the Hock Island
railroad yards , await the arrival of the
Second regiment , Illinois Notional guard ,
and the Fifteenth regiment of the regular
army at Fort Sheridan. The deputies and
their oUlcers saw that a determined resist
ance to the strikers meant bloodshed and
they withdrew , leaving the tracks In the
possession of the strikers.
The strike boldly declared that trains
wduld bo "dumped" when the soldiers ap
peared and bullets be met with bullets.
At 2:45 : the Hock Island road sent out
the train for I31uo Island , carrying about
sixty deputy United States marshals and
deputy sheriffs. The train was heavily
guarded by police and deputies and carried
some suburban passengers.

States court Issued an Injunction today re
straining the strikers under the municipal
laws and the Interstate commerce act. It
Is a sweeping order , and alms to protect
the roads as common carriers to transport
freight as well as to carry the United States
mall. The grain trade on the lakes Is
completely paralyzed , as the railroads are
unable to get any corn or oats to the ele
vators.
So far as known no one has been seriously
hurt , although there have been many small
slugging matches. The Hock Island has de-
doclded not to attempt to run any more trains
through Dluo Island tonight. United States
Marshal Arnold , It Is said , wired the attor
ney general , saying his men cannot control
the mob and asking that the Fifteenth Infan
try bo ordered out.
President Debs received a dispatch from
Columbus , O. , today declaring that the Na
tional Association of Street Car Employes
stands ready to assist the strikers.
United States Marshal Arnold was pulled
off a car platform at Dlue Island today after

depot for the first tlmo In several days.
During the afternoon a largo number of ar
rests were made by deputy marshals nnd
sheriffs. Strikers In the parties who wore

M. V. Powell , grand chief of the Order ol

not taking any part In the strike. Wo arc
affiliated with the other railroad brother
hoods and will be guided by any action
taken by the federation. Wo cannot afford
to como In a strike which was ordered with

ganizations. It would have been betlcr all
around had Mr. Debs and his people consulted

then ho would have had some claims upon
us , , but It Is now presumptuous for him tc
ask us to Strike aCJIls bidding. ' '

SAN FRANCISCO , July 2. Tonlcht. at the
close ot the fourth days' struggle between
Iho Southern Pacific company and the Ameri
can Hallway union , the strikers appear to
have the upper hand. Their.'blockade of
the entire system Is piactlcafly complete.
The western divisions of the Santa Fo road
arc In much the same condition. In fact ,
railway traulc Is almost at a Standstill at
all points on the 1'aclllc coast south of Port
land , Ore. North of Portland there Is also
much trouble , the Northern Pacific road
being practically tied up , and the Union
Pacific Is Involved. All overland trains
have been effectually blocked , nnd the only
trains running , unywhero are locals. The
two points of particular Interest In Cali
fornia tonight ore Sacramento and Los An
geles. In Oakland everything Is eiulet. The
Southern Pacific company this morning
posted notices at the Oakland mole announc
ing that until further notice no attempt
would bo made to dispatch overland trains.
Suburban trains and a few trains to near
by towns were dispatched from Oakland
during the day , however , and met with no
Interference. The Oakland yards nro still
[ wlrollpd by deputy sheriffs. From this city
trains were inn out south Irregularly over
the coast division. No crowds have been
permitted to untor the compa'ny's yards at
Fourth'and Townsend strcels , 100 policemen
and fifteen special policemen having been
stationed there lo keep Iho strikers and
Idlers from entering.
At Los Angeles the Southern Psciflc and
Sanja Fo companies appear to have the co
operation of tha United States authorities.
On Saturday last the United States district
attorney at that point wired Attorney Gen
eral Olney that the United Stales marshal
was critically 111 and unable to muster a
force of marshals. Attorney General Olney
replied to District Attorney Dennis th.it
Brigadier General Iluger would furnish
troops to execute the processes of the United
States court and prevent detention of the
United States mall ) .
Oetierjl Rugcr wns at once notified by
telegraph. Tonight ho telegraphed from

Lynch , and all strikers on the Southern
Pacific and Sants Fo systems , forbidding
them to Interfere with the transmlEs'on of
the malls , and a ho forbidding them to In

trict Attorney Dennis , nnd It Is the Intention
of the rourt. authorities In the event of a
refusal by the strikers to obey the Injunc
tion lo place warrants for their nrrost In
the hands of the United States troops.
At Sacramento the excitement Is fully as
Intcn-o as at I.os Angeles , General Super
intendent Flllmore. of the Southern Pac'flc
Is there endeavoring to break the blockade.
Ho Is aldo.l by United States Marshal Hald-
win and a strong force of deputies , but their
every effort Is combatted by n forca of 3,000
strikers , who swarm throughout the yards ,
liils morning Marshal IlauhUn attempted
to treat with the strikers and In secure a
Pledge from Ihelr leaders Hint they would
not Interfere with any trnlni that might be
moved , The strikers declared that they
would offer no violent Interference , but
they Insisted on and reserved the right to
board trains nnd speik with the rrews with
the view of having them Join the strikers.
This afternoon Southern Paclilc olllclnls ad
dressed an appeal for assistance to Mayor
Stolnman of Sacramento. Mayor Stelnman
refused to Interfere as retjuested. holding
that he hud no authority to net unless some
overt act should be committed by thestrik
ers. United States District Attorney Carter
has b.cen Informal of Hie situation In Sac
ramento , nnd has Instructed the United
Stales marshals ta remove tlio strikers from
the railroad compniiys yards nnd to secure
the passage of the United Slates malU ut
any cost. Tlio marshal's posho Is wholly
unable to cnpo with the strikers , and as the
mayor and sheriff of Sacramuuto have both
refused to Interfere , U U believed that troops
will bo calltd out. Itt fact. It Is already re

DENVER , July 2. The sltuallon In thl
city , so far as the operations of passengc
trains Is concerned , shows some Improve
mcnt today. The usual morning trnlm
were sent out In all directions. The Santi
Fo brought In a train from the east whlcl
had been four days on the road from Chi
cago. The Union Pacific Cheyenne trail
came In with out a sleeper , but. this was because
cause connections were missed. There vvai
no train from the cast on the Rock Island
It being tied up at Council DlufTa. Thi
Denver & Rio Grande Is running all passen
ger trains. Few freight trains are runnlnt
on any ot the roads.
General Manager Dickinson of the Unlot
Pacific , after learning that the employes Ir
the Denver shops , Ihe majority of whom arc
Knights of Labor , had decided to rcnmlt
neutral during the strike , rescinded hi :
order closing the shops. The men will wort
on half time. Fifty deputy marshals wen
on duty In the railroad yards In this clt ;
today. The strikers did not atlempt In anj
manner to Interfere with the operation ol
trains. Passenger trains were made up b )
officials of the roads nnd sent out as usual
No freight trains were run.
The Santa Fo Is In much better shape thar
It was last week. All Its regular easlbound
passenger trains were sent out today accordIng -
Ing to schedule , and several that had been
delayed arrived. The Santa Fo Is not yel
running trains In New Mexico.
The Colorado Midland Is having ; no trou
ble whatever.
The Denver & Rio Grande ran all tralm
out of Denver , but was In trouble at Pueblc
and Sallda , the striking points on that road
A train was started west from Pueblo this
afternoon , the first since Saturday , and t\yc
others pulled out shortly afterwards. The
railroad officials believe the strike at Pueblc
Is broken.
The Gulf road expects to resume regulai
train servelce as soon as the troops restore
order nt Trinidad. Two attempts were made
today to move trains out of Trinidad , but
the strikers drove the engineers and firemen
off and drew the fires. Late this afternoon
orders were Issued from the Gulf road's
headquarters discharging 300 track layers ,
carpenters an so forth at Pueblo , for whom
there Is no work.
The strike of Union Pacific switchmen has
Interfered seriously with the smelters , and
It has become necessary to shut down , owing
to lack of fuel , throwing a largo number
of men out of employment.
The Burlington road has experienced no
trouble hero as yet.
IMXlllr.AH TROOPS AKU KKADY.
Are I'rcjmrod to Get Into Action on Very
Short Notion.
WASHINGTON , July 2. Slnco the receipt
of telegrams last evening , on which orders
were Issued for troops to proceed at once
to Trinidad , Colo. , the War department haa
had no further applications for the assist
ance of the regular army forces to protect
the malls nnd the railroads operated under
United States receivers from Interference by
strikers. There wig no unusual manlfesta-
llon of activity at army headquarters today ,
but the fact Is accounted for by the thorough
state of preparation of the troops to meet
any emergency. Some years ago General
Schofield settled on a definite policy of clos
ing out the numerous small army posts scat
tered through the west where they were no
longer needed , and of concentrating the
troops In posts adjacent to the great cities ,
where they -could be anlndly dispatched to
points of danger. At the War department
Chicago Is jfookedori 'as the danger point
at present , bu.t , > tticf oHlcials'vnre confident

of cavalry , all well drilled and seasoned
troops.
Representative McGann , who as chairman
of the labor committee Is regarded by labor
ing men as ono of their chief spokesmen In
congress , had a talk today with Assistant
Postmaster General Jones and other officials
of the Postofllco department. From them he
learned that the precedent established by
Attorney General Olney In the Southern
Pacific strike would bo adhered to In the
present troubles. Mr. McGann was told
that the officials Intend to Insist that no
actual physical resistance shall bo made
against the running ot the regular mall
trains ; that they shall not bo sidetracked ,
stopped or Interfered with. No legal ob
stacles will bo made against men not doing
work who nro engaged on the mall trains If
they deslro , because the officials consider
such nclion a personal matter. The post-
offlco officials said that they Intend to main-
lain a neutral position so far as the parties
to the strike are concerned , and to take no
action In support either of the corporations
or the labor organizations.

Southern 1'uclllo Strikers I'orform a
Gracious Act.
DUNSMUIR , Gal. , July 2. A felicitous
Incident over the great strike on the South
ern Paolfie system was witnessed hero to
day. Airs. Jane Stanford , widow of the
Into Leland Stanford , has been for two days
stranded In her private car north of hero.
The burning of * a trestle on Sunday made
It Impossible for her car to proceed. To
day a delegation of striking American Rail
way union men proceeded to her car with
currlauca , brought her to' this city and put
her on board another car that the men
liad decked In bright colors with flags nnd
bunting. A brass band headed the party.
Whllo a locomotive was being coupled to
the car Mrs. Stanford thanked the men and
assured them that , were her husband liv
ing , the present troubleon tlio Southern
Pacific , would not have arisen.
"Would this offer bo made to Mr. Hunt-
Inglon ? " naked Mrs. Stanford.
"No. Mr. Huntlngton would not be al
lowed to even wnlk on this road , " was the
answer by the spokesman for the strikers.
When the car was pulled out of Uunsmulr
a guard of strikers went along to sec that
It should not full Into the hands of the com
pany's officials.

ST. PAUL. July 2. With the exception ot
the Omaha train for Duluth all outgoing
nnd Incoming passenger trains Went and
canto ns usual this morning , although two
or three of them wcro laid. Sleepers were
attached as usual.
Two Important telegrams wore received by
Strike Manager Doyle from 1'res.ldent' Debs
today. The first stated : "Wire your con-
crossman and senator Immediately urging
their support to Kyle's mall train resolution.
Our prospects are growing brighter every
where. All employes , regardless ot organi
zations supporting us. Kmployes ot all
lines will stand together and none wilt return
turn until all are reinstated. "
The other telegram rendst "Call on engl
noersj pledga Ihcm our full support. Wnbasl
went out by engineer's request for rcslora
tlon of wages. Wo are gaining ground
everywhere. "
The Great Northern grievance commute
will meet with President Hill this afternoon
lo consider their complaint that the term
of their recent agreement are not being
kept. This trouble , however , has nothing
to do with the Pullman boycott. They
threaten to tie up the road In caao the !
demands are not conceded ,
All passengers IfSliui * went out as usua
tonight , each train ! crew , doing Its own
switching. The Northern' Pacific sent ou
Its Fargo train at 1110 , the overland train's
time , Instead of at 8 o'clock , but otherwise
everything was unchanged. A number o
new mon are at work and It Is stated many
of the old men have resigned from the union
rather limn quit work. Tonight the North

to work nnd the Great Northern men con
ferret ! with President Hill this afternoon
the result being the roannounccmcnt tha
they would go out. The engineers In their
meeting this afternoon sympathized will

PiUMongor Traffic In and Out In Some Hot
ter Hlmpo.
ST. LOUIS , July 2. The morning passon-
uer trains cot out without much delay this
morning , all of the employes of the Tormina
association assisting. The freight situation
however , experienced no change , the strike
having thoroughly stopped the handling of
all such trains and cars. The men out
hero continue In a vicious mood , with no
Indications of any disturbance In- any di
rection and no developments of Importance
nro expected until tno tlmo given by the
employing railroads for their men to re
turn to work expires.
The statement that the Wabash had been
tied up generally proves Incorrect. Deyond
the trouble at Decatur , III. , the western divi
sion , though It uses Pullman cars , has ex
perienced no trouble as yet whllo on the
east side of the river where Wagner cars
are In service nil trains are moving sub
ject to delay only when running via Decatur.
The mon out at Decatur were notified this
mornlnc that unless they returned to work
by' noon today they would cease to be em
ployes of the Wabash and their places would
bo filled. The demands formulated by the
Docutur strikers and to which the road has
declined to accede are that the wage sched
ule aud rules In effect before- the reduction
made during last year's depression , both as
regards employes and ofllcUls bo restored ,
but with the understanding that oven this
settlement cannot bo made until the Pull
man contest Is ended.
An effort was made by the Mobile &
Ohio officials today to lift the boycott so
far as It effects that road , especially at
Cairo , III. , but It failed. Assistant General
Manager J. G. Mann placed before American
Railway Union Director George Kern docu
ments from the striking Mobile & Ohio men
cerllfylng that they were willing to return
to work , providing Kern approved , the
road's officers having agreed to discontinue
using Pullman cafs. Jj-.DIrectors Kern and
Elliott decided tel dfcllne to approve the
plan. ? Hi
The malls hero afe AoTerlng severely from
the strike. si L < J
A committee of airljcprs called on Mayor
Walbrldgo to secufij hit good offices In the
direction of arbitration of tjio strike. The
mayor agreed to act with others that might
bo selected with tuattsjent of all Interested
parties. The comm tec ; then called on the
directors of the Mtrelrants Exchange , but
was received very oolly. Later the com-
mltteo was Inforruci .W letter from the
Merchants Exchange.'that the strikers had
made such threalaJlhai Ihoy stood In the
light of lawbreakers" ' and therefore the di
rectors declined to4ictas arbitrators.
The status of thlflrallr.oad strike here as
the day1 closes 13 ttfat of almost complete In
terruption of frclgfl 'fr.-jfflc , whllo passenger
trains made up byfvirtlmastqrs and a num
ber of Terminal association switchmen , who
have returned to work , are moving practi
cally on tlmo. On both sides of the river
all switchmen have struck except these of
the Wabash Western and the St. Louis , Keo-
kuk & Northwestern. In all , about 1,500
inon have gene out In all the yards. The
only addition to the ranks of the strikers
today were the freight brakemen of the St.
Louis division of the Louisville & Nash
ville , who have laid up that division.
United States District Judge Clayton re
ceived Instructions form Attorney General
Olney this afternoon to see that there Is no
Interference with mall trains hero. In ac
cordance with this order United States Mar
shal Lynch has stationed deputies at the
union depot to protect trains and arrest all
persons offering Interference.

President nugeno V. Debs of the Amerl
can Hallway union , as the directing heat
of the boycott against the Pullman com
pany's cars , Is a prominent llguro In Amerl
can affairs today. Ho brings lo the presen
struggle- between organized labor and organ
Izcd capital great executive ability , and hi
Is besides a wonderful organizer. Mr
Debs , too , Is an orator of no mean pre
tensions. Ho has a good votco and presence
Is magnetic and earnest. lie possesses
absolutely the confidence ot the men In tin
American Railway union. Violence ho op
poses , and In the present contest he ha <
repeatedly counseled moderation. Presldcni
Debs wus born In Terre Haute , Ind. , li
1855. Ho received his education In the
public schools ot that city , and when 1 (
years old began work as a painter In tlu
Vandnlla railroad ' shops. Afterward he
worked for throe- years as a fireman on the
sainu road. Ills first appearance In publlt
llfo was his election to the office of clt }
clerk of Terre Haute. Ho served twt
terms , and when ho wns 2G years old was
chosen a member of the slalc legislature
Whllo In that body ho secured the passage
of several laws In the Interests of labor ,
Ills speech nominating Danlol Voorhecs foi
the United States senate gave Mr. Debs wide
reputation as an orator. At the end of hi ;

erhood ot Locomotive Firemen , and ho filled
the office for fourteen consecutive years ,

ployes , composed of the brotherhoods of rail
way trainmen and conductors , Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and the Switch

preme council. The organisation , however ,
was dissipated by a quarrel between two ol
the leading orders comprising It , and then
Mr. Debs conceived the Idea of the American
Railway union. For a year and a half he
worked at the details , and the union came
Into existence In Chicago Juno 20 , 1893 ,
Slnco Its organization It has prospered , and
the union Is now the largest body of railway
men In the world. Its recent victory In
the strike against the Great Northern rail
way was a signal ono. That was Dobs'
first great fight and ho won It. Mr. Deba
Is married and has a pleasant homo In Tcrre
