MEMPHIS , Tenn. , July 16. A special to
the Commercial-Appeal from Birmingham ,
lAla. , says a fierce battle occurred this after
noon at 4:30 : o'clock at No. 3 mine at Pratt's ,
between mobs of striking miners and dep
uties , In which six men were killed and
nearly a score wounded. The full list of
dead and maimed cannot be secured tonight ,
as the bodies were carried off quickly utter
the flght occurred. This morning a mass
meeting of striking miners was held on the
crcok near the Pratt mlnea , and It was de
cided that the law should be taken Into
their own hands and that they would killer
or bo killed.
About 4:30 : o'clock , the tlmo when the em
ployes of the mines quit work and como out
ot tire mines , a mob of men was secreted
Jn the wood near by. As the negroes would
como but one by one , a shot would be sent
at them , and they would drop to the ground
cither fatally wounded or dead. After the
third negro had fallen the deputies opened
flro on the mob , and a fierce battle took
place. II.V. . Tierce , the commander of the
deputies , fell to the ground. A Winchester
ball had pierced his body Just above the
heart. Almost at the same Instant one of
the strikers was seen to fall , but he arose
again to his knees , and , taking aim with his
Winchester , flred four times at the deputies.
The deputies kept reloading their guns and
firing , and the mob began dispersing. The
deputies then made n tour around the
wounded striker , who was still firing , and
after a time they succeeded In silencing his
gun. He proved to be a Frenchman.
BATTLE NUMBER Ttt'O.
Another tcctlon of the mob made an at
tack on a train which was carrying the
negroes from mlno No. 4 to their homes.
There were several guards on the engine ,
nnd the attack was answered with a ftisllsda
of bullets. The first shot from the strikers
went through the cab window of the engine
and Just missed killing the engineer and
J. J. Moore , the superintendent at the mine' .
Telegrams were sent to the town , In haste
for help , nnd Sheriff Morrow summoned
twenty-five deputies. Governor Jones , who
Is still In the city , has summoned the Bir
mingham battalion of state troops. At noon
the Second regiment was relieved from duty.
The Eastlako company Is still in camp ,
guarding the tent ? , and they were marched
to'a train nnd hastily carried to Pratts with
the deputies. The governor ordered the Second
end regiment Into camp and closed all the
ealoons.
Out at Pratts posses were hastily formed ,
and the woods were scoured for miles , but
the miners had rriado good their escape.
The work of hunting up the dead and
wounded then began. Ten men wore picked
up , and six are dead. The namoi of the
negroes are not known. The Frenchman's
name was Juan Jailer. George Campbell
( colored ) had his leg broken , and a bullet
want through his chin. Ho says that the
str.kors came on him nfter he was down
and kicked him and fired another shot Into
his nose. The negroes are terror stricken ,
and are running wild. The streets about
town are crowded with people , and all sorts
of rumors are flying about. A courier has
Just returned from the scene and says every
thing Is well guarded there for another at
tack , should one bo made. The bodies of
the two white men and one of the negroes
have Just been brought to the city , and the
undertaking shops for blocks are crowded
with a surging mass of humanity. The
Third regiment ot ftato troops has
been ordered Into camp here , and by mornIng -
Ing more than COO soldiers will ba on the
scene.
The report Just comes that a dead negro
was found ono mile from the scene of the
battle on the Kansas City tracks.

Concrens' nnd Clnvelund'H Action on the
Strike Will Not ClnMi.
WASHINGTON , July 16. There Is some
difference of opinion among congressmen as
to whether the committees to be appointed
by the president lo Investigate the causes
of the Chicago strike will Interfere with
the Investigation proposed by the house
committee on Interstate commerce.
Members of the committee hold that there
will bo no Interference since the work ot
the congressional committee will be for
the purrosa ot recommending legislation to
prevent strikes llko this one. It was de
veloped during the dUcuetiton In tlio com
mittee and over the advisability of a con
gressional Investigation that more than ono
member ot the body will go Into the work
with vlows which may bring about desired
results.
The members referred to think that tha
laws governing contracts with employes of
companies engaged in Interstate commercu
should provldo that corporations should not
discharge men nor cut down their wages
without due notice and that on the other
hand men should not bo allowed to stop
work without notlco to their employers.
They would not Interfere with the rights of
employes to strike In n body or otherwise ,
but would prevent the sudden stranding of
commerce ns well as sympathetic strikes
entered upon without notice.
There Is n belief that como features of the
maritime laws regulating contracts might
bo advantageously applied to Interstate com
merce. _

Chicago advising the union laborers that
tha committee would call out all the men
Jie.-o within an hour utter the Chicago men
have thrown down their tools. The tele
gram also expressed sympathy for the A.

received the following reply ; "Tho Trades

position you take and asks that you hold
your men In position to aid at any tlmo the
A. R. U. In Its bittlo for Justice. Wo have

At a meeting last nlghl the east sldo strik

Tha railroad strike here Is almost a rem
iniscence , Interest in It today being revived
Bllfhtly by the admls.von of National Dl
rector M. J. Elliott that so tar as St. Louis
and vicinity U concerned the A. R. I' has
lost tha contest Avoiding to Director
Elliott fully oae-third ot the strikers have
returned to work. These , with the new
men employed almost fill the poslt'ons vacated
at tha beginning of the strike. The situ
ation Is the same on bath sides of the
river. The erstwhile strikers nro making
every effort to get back to work , but as far
as can be ascertained fully 40 per cent ore
permanently out of Jobs so far as their
former employment Is concerned , while a
largo number of men will have to wall until
trafilc picks up.

LOS ANGELES , July 16. The southern
California branch of the Santa Fe made a
startling announcement In that It proposed
to reduce Its dally mileage 800 miles when the

This means a discontinuance or several local
trains and ono overland and a reduction of
about fifty employes. The reason for this
Ii the general demoralization of business
and the probable dull summer. The over

of the trains discontinued. The statement
Is made that this reduction would not have
been made if there had been no strike. The

situation a the tlmo of adjournment , from
the best Information obtainable , was that
the conferees were for from an agreement
and that within ! a short time a disagree
ment would bo reported to the senate and
house. The question which has born agltat-
Inc the members seems to bo Just what
kind of a report to make , but the Impres
sion seemed to be that it would bo of a
general disagreement , with , perhaps , some of
the main points specified. It had not been
decided to call In the republican members of
the conference when adjournment was taken ,
but It Is possible th ? full conference may
meet tomorrow or next day. It was evident
from what could bo learned thai the meetIng -
Ing bhowcd a tendency to get further apart
than before , and the discussion of the main
questions showed there would have to bo
Instructions from the respective houses be
fore the conferees would feel warranted In
yielding from the positions they have taken
from the first. When the conference ad
journed ono of the conferees summed up the
situation as follows :
"Wo have accomplished absolutely noth

and , nfter being together all day , wo are ex
actly where we were last Saturday night. "

No Attempt t liiti-rfcrviico ,
SAN PnANClSCO , July 1C. The Southern
Pacific Hallroad company , backed by the
combined military forces of the' federal and
state governments , continues to maintain a
fairly satisfactory passenger service In north
ern California. Hut notwithstanding this
formidable military array the railroad offi
cials have boon unable to retrieve the lost
management of their freight business. The
passenger service , too , Is by no means re
stored , for the trains are sidetracked at
night tlmo as a precautionary measure
against train wreckers. In Oakland this
morning the strikers formed Into several
riotous mobs of 200 or 300 men each. All
incoming anil outgoing passenger trains
were so strongly guarded that they were not
Interfered with , but the fury of the mobs fell
upon such luckless nonunion men as the
strikers were able to waylay going to and
from their work. Several times the troops
were called to disperse the rioters and rescue
nonunion men. Shortly after noon , a freight
train was started from the yards on the
mole. At the Seventh street crossing the
nonunion men In charge of the train found
themselves at the mercy of a mob of strik
ers. A striker had managed to climb aboard
and cut the air brake. The train was stalled
and the rioters , who were soon swarming
about , had drawn all the coupling pins.
Then a troop of cavalry and a company of
Infantry came down upon the mob The
cavalry men used their sabres and clubbsd
with their pistols , and the foot soldiers
prodded freely with their bayonets. In the
struggle two shots were fired by the soldiers
though no ono was hit. The strikers were
finally put to flight. A number of the rioters
sought refuge In the cottiige of a striking
yard foreman. The soldiers afterward raided
the house and arrested twenty-one men.
Several of the rioters were severely cut
and bruised. The freight iruln was run
to a sldo track and abandoned. After this
occurrence the soldiers going on trains as
guards were given positive orders to shoot
any one who attempted to Interfere with any
train. Finally a freight train was sent
out guarded by about COO mllltla.
Out of Sacramento trains are running with
less interference. Several freight trains
have been dispatched from that point. The
railroad company announces that several
fruit trains will be dispatched from Sacra
mento tomorrow night or Wednesday morn
ing. Owing to the recent burning of a
trestle In the Slsklyou region , no trains have
been sent out on the Oregon branch. A
train will probably bo dispatched for Port
land tomorrow.
Passenger trains from the < ast are now-
arriving in San Francisco. Eight days'
eastern mall was received hero today. The
Southern Pacific officials claim that many
of the strikers are applying to bo taken
back , and say employment will be given
to all but the most active In organizing
the strike. At Sacrumanto severol hundred
men returned to work thls ° "mornliig. They
were compelled to sign an agreement to
withdraw from the A. II. U.
There was considerable excitement at
Dunsmutr this afternoon. Captain Boulson ,
commanding a Stockton militia company
that was serving as guard on a passenger
train , arrested a citizen who crossed the
tracks. The captain nourished a revolver
and arrested him. At Dunsnntlr the sym
pathy is largely with the strikers , and Cap
tain Boulson was promptly arrested by the
civil authorities.
KXCITING SCIM : IN COURT.
Itejjtilnr Soldiers Kntcr Court Itnom to
Tnko Possession of 1'rKoners.
SACRAMENTO , Cal. , July 10. During the
hearing of a writ of habeas corpus for the
release of thrco Dunsmulr strikers before
Judgi } Catlln a detachment of regulars
marched Into the court , and with the evident
Intention of taking the prisoners. Judge
Catlln Immediately arose and called upon
persons who were present to resist any at
tempt of the regulars to take away the
strikers. Assistant Attorney Knight excltediy
jumped to his feet and met the soldiers as
they were entering the court rdVn. He or
dered them to return to the depot , which
they did after considerable hesitancy. The
excitement In the court room was Intense.
Several ot the spectators reached for their
hip pockets and announced their determina
tion to follow Judge Catlln's Instructions to
prevent the regulars from taking away the
prisoners. Others securely barred the doors
leading to the court room and threateningly
declared their intention of resisting the reg
ulars. While the excitement was at fever
heat , the assistant district attorney arose
and waved the regulars back. ' Ho then com
manded them to return to their quarters at
the depot. After the excitement had sub
sided Judge Catlln ordered the thrco prison
ers remanded to the custody of the chief of
police. They are charged with stealing an
engine at Dunsmulr.
By direction of 'Marshal Baldwin and
Colonel Graham , District Attorney Knight
later sent a letter to Judge Catlln explain
ing that the soldiers had merely been sent
to the court room as witnesses , and had
brought their arm ) with them under a
m'sapprehenslon , and stating that tlio fed
eral officers In Sacramento wish to correct
the Impression that they are In any way
exceeding thnlr authority. Notwithstanding
Knight's explanation that the soldiers were
present as witnesses , the fact remains that
they fir t entered the sheriff's office and
demanded the surrender of the prisoners.
Deputy Sheriff Rooney was in charge of ths
office at the tlmo and Informed them that
the men were In Judge Catlln's court room.
They Immediately started upstairs to the
court room , but Rooney reached there first
and told the Judge ot the object ot the sol
diers.
Pale and trembling , but with a firm volca ,
Judge Catlln arose and said : "Soldiers
with bayonets drawn are outside In the corridor
rider , and I am Informed they are hero to
take tho-o prisoners from this room. I
command everybody In this court deputy
sheriffs , policemen and others to stay hero
and resist any effort to take away theao
prisoners. "
"You can count on me , judge , " shouted
W. If. If. Hart , who Is well known here.
"I'll stay with you to the last. "
A number of spectators al o announced
their determination to "stand by" the court ,
and as the situation began to look critical
the deputy United State * d'strlct attorney
succeeded In having the soldiers return to
the depot.
Colonel Graham says the soldiers were
sent to the court room as wltnes es against
the prisoners. Llko the deputy United
States attorney , ho claims that their belllg-
o'ront attitude was due to a misapprehen
sion by the deputy United States marshal
who had them In charge.

CHICAGO , July 16. When Dig nc V. Deb' ,
president of the A. II. V. , was seen nt thu
Rovcro house today ho expressed himself as
being still In hops ot winning the strike.
"U'o have by no means concluded that the
strike Is lost at Chicago , " said Mr. Debs.
"Tho men who are out hero are still en
thusiastic , and from whht I saw In ad
dressing several thousand of them yester
day I am satisfied that the cause Is not lost.
Hereafter we arc not going to make ou.1
plans public before they are executed. I am
strongly of the opinion that the American
Railway union will give evidence of Its
strength here by moves that will bo made by
railway employes very soon. "
At noon today strikers' hcadtpiartcrs nt
Uhlrlch's hall were enlivened us much as pos
sible by the Bpeechmakliig. Mr. Debs him
self participated In thn oratory. Ho confined
his remarks largely to roasting the IIU.VB-
papers.
Dsbs charged the General Managers asso
ciation with an abnormal lack ot seroclty.
"Tho strike Is not over , " ho declared.
"We are polng to win. The railroads are
running freight trains out , but they are car
rying ll'tlo freight. Three months more
of this sort of thing and every road In Chicago
cage will be bankrupt. The strike Is still
on and will be on until we win. "
Asldo from the crowd attracted by the
addresses , the A. U. U. headquarters ap
peared almost deserted today. Now and
then a "missionary" dr.ftcd Into the offices ,
or a commlttccman appeared to make his
report , but the usunl crowd of curious and
the bustle that has heretofore pervaded the
place was lacking.
The trades union and labor assembly at Its
regular meeting last evening , nfter listening
to a number of speeches by strikers and sym
pathizers , adopted resolutions pledging sym
pathy and aid to the A. It. U.
At the stock yards Armour , Swift and Mor

The police received Information that n raid
by a mob was planned for the yards today for
the purpose of stopping work at the packing
houses. A force of C > 00 officers was secreted
about the yards to be kept , on duty all day.
The yards today contained about 17,000 cattle ,
10,000 sheep , and 10,000 hogs.
Ten switch engines were working about
the stock yards today In spile of the fact
that ten engineers failed to report this morn-
Ing.PULLMAN
PULLMAN STRIKE COLLAPSING.
The strike situation nt the town of Pull
man appears to be growing more serious
for the Hrlkers. It Is the general opinion
that if the works of the Pullman company
were opened tomorrow there would bo a stam
pede of the men to regain their old posi
tions. During the last twenty-four hours
the attitude of the strikers ha1) undergone
a marked change , and where previously they
were talking about how the tight was won ,
today little groups of workmen talked of
how they lost the flght.
W. II. Ileathcote , chairman of the strik
ers , admitted today that he had practically
given up hope , the only reason for holding
on being that Debs might be nblo to come
to the rescue. Ho said If Debs would de
clare the general stnko off the Pullman
strike would also be at an end. Chairman
Heathcoto finds difficulty In keeping the
strikers together on account of the diversity
of nationalities. The Hollanders , who num
ber about 1,200 , he says , anil the Poloa ,
with equal numbers , who , together , consti
tute a majority < < > f the Pullman employes ,
are all anxious to return to work , regardless
of the feelliiKvpf the other nationalities.
At the offices of the company Manager
Mlddlcton said that orders to open the shops
were expected nt any time , but no huch
word had been received from Mr. Wlckes
today. He believed the trouble wa ? clearing
away and that the strike was hopelessly
lost.

Vice President Wlckes of the Pullman
company stated today that the company Is
willing to take back all Its str.klng em
ployes.
"Our manager at the works , " said Mr.
Wlckes , "has been Intruded for several
weeks to put the men back to work just as
soon as enough of them agree to work to
make the running of all departments pos
sible. Wo could probably get along with
1,000 men. "

day : "If the president had listened to the
appeal In my Christmas letter and by car
rying out the pledges of the platform on
which ho was elected had secured the use
of both gold and silver as standard money ,
business would huvo revived and the existing
widespread idleness , poverty and discontent
the triple progeny of n gold basis would
have been prevented. Sufficient money and
compulsory arbitration , and not federal bay

be divorced from corporate monopolies. The
real author of all this trouble Is the geld

The men marched in this order. Every
thing went smoothly and there were n6 In
cident ! ) until the column , marching south on
Grand boulovar'd , was just crossing Oakwood
boulevard. Then a terrific explosion oc
curred. The men on the caisson , supposed to
be Donovan and Doyle , were literally blown
to pieces , and others were thrown many1
feet by the violence ot the concussion. Pour
ot the horsEH drawing the caisson fell in
their tracks , shot through and horribly man
gled , while three others were blown fifty
feet ahead against the trees on the boule
vard , dying Instantly. The caisson was
blown to pieces , not a pltco larger than a
man's hand being found. The boulevard
looked llko a battlefield. Tlicro was a quick :
series of explosions after the first report ,
and shrapnel shot rained llko hall among
the trees on the- boulevard and pierced the
surrounding dwellings.
The concussion brnko every window In the
house ; for blocks away. The walls and roofs
showed the terrible effects of the explosion.
The rear part of the caisson lay scattered
over the ground. With the explosion came
the confusion of the troops , and for a moment
the men and officers seemed powerless to
move. To this was added the fright of the
occupants of thu surrounding houses , who1
ran screaming from their dwellings , only to
bo sickened by the sight In the > street , A
still alarm , of course , had been turned In ,
and with the department came the stock
yards patrol wagon. The wagon was sent
back to the station and It returned with
twcnty-flvo men under command of Lieu
tenant Morrlbsey. Ho then telephoned to
Hyde Park for reinforcements and Captain
Dollar arrived with twenty-five more men.
Later Assistant Inspector Fltzpatrlck and
Lieutenant Donflcld arrived. It was some
llttlo tlmo before the two dead artillerymen
could bo found.
One of them , mangled beyond recognition
but supposed to bo Doyle , had been b'own '
over a board sign twenty-five reel high and
was found In the vacant lot behind It. Ono
leg and an arm were gono. The other
man , supposed to bo Donovan , had been
thrown about 300 feet diagonally to thu
right , and was found In a vacant lot near
the Lake Shore tracks. Joseph Gaylor was
found near whcru lie wa.i struck.
