SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 3-Mrs. Jane
Stanford, widow of the late Leland Stan
ford, and eXecutrix af the great Stanford
interest il the Southern Pacific, continues
to play romantic, or at least picturesque
part in the desperate struggle now waging
between the company and the American
Railway union. Today Mrs. Stanford,
borne by the 4. r. u. men, had a tri-
umphal entry into the city. Her car,
decked with flags and bunting, came into
Oakland this afternoon and at the Six
teenth street yards was Justify cheered,
though the same mob of strikers had
stalled a passenger train on a parallel
track. The determined com mittee of four
teen American Railway union men that
had brought Mrs. StaDfOrd's engine and
car from Dunsmuir, on the Oregon branch,
saw that their car went straight through
to the ferry. Several division officials
at Oakland attempted TO board the car,
but were thrown to the ground. They
were sternly informed that that was an
a. X. I. train.
Interviewed tonight Mrs. Stanford said
Il never passed through anything like
this before, but never in my life was l
treated more kindly than | have been by
these men. | hope for their sakes that
the difficulty will soon be settled. The
fourteen men who brought me TO the city
were as gallant as possible. Up at Will
lows they escorted me to a hotel. They
had been so kind that I told the hotel
proprietor not to let them pay cent for
their accommodation. | said | would SET
tie the bills. He told me that the A. r.
L. men had paid everything. Every
where they were so kind, saying they did
it in remembrance of the manner in
which my husband had treated them"

HOT BATTLE IN PROGRESS.
The Contest in Colorado Largely Per-
sonal Between Jeffery and Debs.

DENVER, Colo, July 3-The situation
Was unchanged up to 10 O'Clock. All rail-
road companies sent out their morning
passenger trains. The Denver and Rio
Grande was unable To move its trains west
of Salida last night. The roads employees
at Pueblo, Salida and Grand junction are
on strike. and it is presumed that Debs'
order for a strike at Denver and other
points on the line Will be obeyed. L {
| IS also expected that the local assembly of
Knights of Labor will order strike
on the roads which the American Railway
Union is trying to tie up, as General Mas
ter Workman Sovereign has telegraphed
he Will support Debs.
President Jeffrey is circulating con-
stantiy among the employees of the Den
Yer and Rio Grande road and striving in
every possible manner to induce them to
remain loyal TO the company. The fact is.
hot battle is in progress between Presi-
dent Debs and President Jeffery, the one
trying to break the Rio Grande'S transcon-
tinental connection. and the other en-
deavoring to keep the system open and
the trains in operation.
The American Railway union has sue.
ceeded in shutting off tianscontinental
traffic, but the Rio Grande is a distribut-
ing channel for the Burlington, Alton,
Kansas Pacific and Northwestern rail-
ways and covers 4 large territory.
The Rio Grande has no men in line at
Pueblo except volunteers, and there is a
tie-up at Salida. Betw cen Denver and
Pueblo the trainmen are taking out their
runs regularly.
The Gulf road is operating north of Den
yer and IS preparing, with the protection
OF United States troops and deputy mar
shals, to open up the southern line.
Seventy-five more deputies were sent to-
day TO Trinidad, where il Is intended to
make wholesale arrests of strikers.
Santa Ee trains are running to and from
the east and an attempt will be made to
open up the line west as soon as troops ar
rive.
at Ration. At last accounts the troops
from Fort Marcy, enroute to Ration, were
near Las Vegas where their train was
stalled, owing to the desertion of the Gu
gineer and fireman.
Union Pacific. Burlington and Rock Is
land trains TO and from Denver are run
ming regularly. As no freight trains are
run vast quantities of freight are being
sent by express. All perishable goods are
received at sender'S risk
Denver's coal supply is short and it is
doubtful if the city cable cars can be kept
running another day

there.
When six companies of the United
States infantry were called into action aud

HANDICAP ON FUNSTON.
Scheme of Election COMMITTEE to Detain
Funst on at Washington.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-Representatjve
Funston was faced with the fact today
that some of the majority members OF the
house committee on elections are disposed
to be very much in a hurry all at once in
the matter o. disposing of the Moore Fun
ston contest case. They are inclined to
the opinion that the consideration of the
case in the house should not be delayed
later than Friday next. All this l. for the
evident purpose OF forcing Funston
to remain away from the Repub-
lican congressional convention to
be held at Lawrence on the
10th inst. Funston does not like the plan
To handicap him in the matter in this way,
feeling that it Is a cOucOc- Ell move on The
part of some of the majority membe TO
do him all the injury possible. lie fully
realizes the tact stated IN these dispatches
some time ago that the case mas been held
back all tbiS while for the purpose of
utilizing il in the Republican congres-
siOnal convention. Funston will aim 10
get the consideration of the case postponed,
but If he cannot DO so lac stated today that
he would leave for home at any rate by
Wednesday, and let the matter take its
turn in the box. IL the majority mem beFs
desired 10 call up the case while be was
