Anent the strike there is but little to
say. All the railroads claim to be grad
ually assuming old conditions here, and
investigation amply verities the asSer-
ton. The strike here has ylsibly weak
ened, will weaken still more today, and
SO on until, SO far as st. Paul Is con-
cerned, it will exist only IN uame. In
a country so large as the United States,
with its vast network of railroad SyS-
tens, il will take some time to bring
matters back TO their former conditions,
AS one prominent railroad man said
yesterday: ut will continue for weeks
yet in Sputs. The spirit of dlscoutent
is widespread, and it will be, no easy
matter TO quiet the whole country. 1t
is no longer question between capital
and organized labor, but general III
Surrection."
General Superintendent Horn, of the
Wisconsin Central, in MS CHEEKY way
yesterday said traffic showed decided
improvement with his line. Passenger
trains are all running on their regular
schedule. This company had one large
freight train i'll yesterday morning at
Minneapolis from Chicago and dis
patched another for that city. ass
There is perfect tranquility on our
official yesterday. "EYerything is
quiet, save the welcome rumble of our
car wheels. We do not recognize the
existence of a strike. We, are, ready
and able to receive, and are receiving
business at orr transfers. OF course,
we are not running as many freightS as
before the strike, but this is entirely
due to the blockade on, connecting
lines" .s. ......--
Commercial Agent Sewall, of the
Milwaukee. conveys he welcome iIfor-
nation to all shippers that. beginning
with this morning, that line is in reddi-
4
and Minneapolis for shipment to al
points. Assistant General Passenger
Agent Conley, of the. same road, SAYS
that its passenger service continues the
same as ii has since last Thursday. At
that time the 6:l5 p. m. train from St.
Paul 10 Aberdeen over the Hastings IL
Dakota division, and the S:35 a. III.
train from st. Paul to Austin on the
Iowa and Minnesota division were
taken of. This was owing to
business having decreased OH account
of the strike. These trains made double
service on those divisions anyway.
When the strike cloud is disSipated
these trains will be restored.
The announcement made by the
GLOBE yesterday that the Milwaukee
had given its men until a. III. yester-
day to decide for themselves whether
they would return to their duties or
permanently throw themselves out of
their positions bore very visible fruit.
AT that hour the company reports that
70 per cenu OF its 1iremen i'll the Twin
Cities reported for duty. The switch
men abide by their original resolution.
The company, after submitting to all
the loss and annoyance which the past
two weeks has entailed upon it, has
shown great leniency. 1t did this in
order to allow lis men full opportunity
to reflect upon the step they had taken.
The Burlington system announces
itself now prepared to receive and dis
patch freight 10 and from all terminals
OH its lines. Unimpaired passenger
service is still the rule with this COM
pany. Monday this road sent out
thirty-car train of cattle from st. Paul,
and yesterday it again sent out another

General Manager Plough. of the st.
Paul Il Duluth, left for Duluth yester-
day afternoon. Another official stated
that there is no more trouble either here
or at Duluth. All freight and passenger
trains are moving as usual.
The Omaha still continues to hire and
place men as rapidly as conditions will
allow. From the ranks of those tempo
rarily laid off at various times OH ac-
count of the decrease in business the
selections are being made. The success
full transfer of thirty-Six cars of Iniseel-
laneous freight was made yesterday
from East st. Paul to Western avenue.
The company will not attempt to move
any night trains between ST. Paul and
Duluth until Gov. Peck, of Wisconsin,
will furnish proper protection. 1t made

ger train out over the Northern division
Yesterday was No. 62, for Duluth, which
cleared the yards at 1866 a. In.
The Minneapolis q St. Louis is rap
idly recovering from the boycott shock.
1t mad full crew of freight handlers on
duty yesterday morning. An extra
freight of twenty cars made the run
from Minneapolis to st. Paul yesterday
forenoon, was reloaded here and re.
turned during the day. A new switch.
ing crew was put on Monday here, and
another yesterday. 1t has more appli-
cations than it has vacancies to fill.
Beginning this morning, the Northern
Pacific will resume reg ular switching
in its yards here for the. Minneapolis Il
st. Louis. All business promises to
soon be back into the Old grooves. Gen
orally speaking, tie passenger service
has been up to the Standard,all along
The Northern Pacitic'S train that left
ST. Paul Saturday morning is now west
OF Billings. The burned bridge at Gold
Creek, over He'll Gate river, is being
rapidly rebuilt. and this obstacle to
through trains will soon be surmounted.
IL Is intimated that engineers all along
the line are wiring in to the COM
Dany their readiness to accept their
Old places. Only one condition
Is attached to all cases -
absolute refusal by the company to con.
slider for moment the question of
whether Pullman is right or wrong, and
the agreement by tile Iren to simply do
their duty. Here. as with other lines,
il is found that many of the men went
out through fear, and not by any means
because they felt loyal to Debs. Howard
ct al, of A. r. U. notoriety. AS soon
as matters are adjusted in troublesome
spots, like the stretch through Mon
tana, there will be a general hegira of
returning employees. All they want is
protection. At the general superin-
tendent's office it was learned that the
regular freight service between Staples
and Duluth was inaugurated yesterday,
the first train leaving Staples On time.
Freight service on the Pacific division
is still maintained. Passenger service
is daily being augmented.
