BURNED CARS.

Bon fire at West / ul1man Not in the
Nature Of a Celebration.
CHICAGO, July 5.-The Fourth of
The day was made the occasion for a
big bonfire, but it was not in the way
of celebration. AS if in defiance of
the calling out of federal troops, came
an act of incendiarism against the allied
railroads. Almost the first news of the
= national holiday was a report Of the
firing of a number of cars at West
Pullman, in the Blue Island district of
the Rock Island. The confagration
took place just far enough away to be
out OF the quick reach of the detach-
ment of the federal troops sent to that
point from Fort Sheridan. The reports
placed the number Of cars burned at
nearly dozen, all freighters.
Kept Out of the Way of Soldiers.
At the stockyards and at Grand
Crossing, where the other divisions of
the Fort Sheridan garrison had been
sent, the strikers seemed to have
adopted policy similar to that in
vogue at Blue Island. They appeared
to be anxious to keep out of danger of a
collision with Uncle Sans men, and
devote their energies to localities where
things were less on the buzz. saw order.
A few passenger trains arrived at the
depots in the city and were unnolested.
One Of these was Santa Fe train at
the Dearborn station At 10 a. m, with
one Pullman attached. It entered the
station with mere armed deputies than
passengers aboard.
Colonel R. Z. Crofton, commanding
the Fort Sheridan regulars, made his
headquarters at the Grand Pacific hotel,
and was in constant communication
with the troops at the stockyards,
Grand Crossing and Blue: Island. All
the railroads reported that they were
running some trains, and railroad Off
Gals generally regarded the situation
as encouraging.

CHICAGO, July o. President Debs Of
the American Railway union was
called upon by representative OF the
Associated Press and asked his opinion
Of the effect which the injunction pro-
cess Of the federal court would have
upon the boycott. s5=#s

injunction, . said President Debs, .'and
perhaps I had better not cross the
bridge until get to it. / want to say
distinctly that none Of our officers are
running from any court process; we
are all here and can easily be found If
wanted. I shall not deny that ! have
seen the injunction as it has been print
ed IN the newspapers, and | am fully
advised OF its purport as the neWspa-
pers give it. AS Tread it, it seeks to re-
strain the men from doing exactly what
we have always forbidden them to do,
that is, interfering with the movements
of trains, committing acts of violence
and violating the laws of the land gen.
orally. Railroad employees have the
unquestioned right to withdraw indl-
vidually or in body from the service
of company, but they have no right
to interfere with others who may be
employed to take their places. Their
rights end where the company's rights
begin, and if the company can secure
other employees to.successfully operate
their road, they have perfect right to
do SO. We rely solely for our success on
our men holding out altogether. Sup
ported as we are, financially and other
wise, by all the labor organizations of
the county, we have no misgivings as
to what the outcome will be. So far as
law and order is concerned, court in.
functions are not required, since the
policy of our board of directors has al
ways been, is and will be to restrain
members from committing acts of dep
relation, and those who disregard our
instructions should be held individually
liable and punished accordingly"

I GRADUALLY SPREADING.

SS - FL 81 ~
Territory Covered by the Great Strike
Constantly Increaaing. ,a
CHICAGO, July 5. The Pullman boy
colt IS gradually spreading, and Zach
hour the area covered by it widens.
There is little change to be noted with
respect to the roads already reported as
in trouble, few Of them are struggling
to move their passenger trains, but
freight traffic is practically at an end.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
which employs non-union men, is about
the only exception among the roads in
Chicago.
The Chicago and Northwes tern,
which had escaped trouble, fell into
line during the night, and is completely
tied up. It's subur ban traffic is very
heavy, and great Inconvenience results
from the stoppage Of this branch of its
business. The Illinois Central, the
Rock Island, the Milwaukee and ST..
Paul and Great Western
All Report Like Condition.
The Michigan Southern and Michigan
Central havs been suffering because
they occupied terminal facilities jointly
with the Illinois Central and the Rock
Island. Nevertheless, they have been
able to move their through passenger
traffic with comparative ease. The
general tie up at Detroit stops these
two roads effectually. The Western
avenue terminal, over which the Chi
cago and Erie, Grand Trunk, Wabash,
Santa Fe and Monon roads enter the
city, had recovered from the first shock,
and was handling its passenger traffic
with a reasonable degree Of effect.
Now all of these roads are again in
trouble.
New ID faculty
is presented by the refusal of the en-
gineers and firemen to risk their lives
by working with green hands. and it is
also doubtless true that the railway
managers themselves are not very anx-
ious to force the fighting. They are
making no serious efforts to move their
trains. They also say that a suspension
OF business at this time is not an un-
mixed evil,
The price Of provisions is advancing
very rapidly, and the hotels, restaurants
and private families are feeling it very
keen] y. Fruits. ice, and all kinds of
perishable provisions are commanding
very high prices, and indeed are now
regarded as luxury. There are a
number OF factories that have been COM
PEELED to shut down, and a number of
breweries have cease operations. For
the first time in the history of Chicago,
not a single carload OF livestock arrived
at the stock yards by rail during the
day, while the shipments of dressed
meats is practically at an end.

forces and bound over to the grand

Uhlic's hall and stated that the local

are United States examined and quail
fed and licensed men, and if they 90
out their places cannot be filled. The
railway union is much elated over this

two and half miles across the river
from Montevideo. The number of pris-
oners held here by the Indians was 269,
IVY OF whom were wkite women and
children, the remainder being half

intervals during the great Sioux war.
Wnlcn lasted from Aug. IL, 1862, to
sept. rs or the same year, and which
Terminated with General Henry H. Sib-
ley,s signal victory at Wood lake. It
was this victory which enabled General
Slbley, who was in command of the
Minnesota troops, to negotiate for the
surrender Of the helpless women and
children by the bloodthirsty Sioux. 1t
was deliverance from fate worse than
death, and Was one of the greatest acts
OF the generals life.

TROOPS WILL BE USED.

IF Necessary, to Enforce the Courts Order
Regarding Northern Pacific Trains.
ST. PAUL. July 5.-The regular troops
at Fort Smelling will be used, if neces-
sary, to aid the United States marshal
in enforcing the orders of the United
States courts and in fully protecting at
all hazards the men employed to take
the place of strikers on the roads in the
hands Of the United States receivers.
This is the advice Of Judge Caldwell.
and acting on it Judge Nelson is in con-
sultation with General Merritt, who is
watching the situation closely and will
give whatever aid Marshal Bede NAV
require. There will be no delay when
violence is resorted to by the strikers
and the United States court is openlv
defied.
Judge Caldwell's telegram was in re-.
ply to a letter of J. H. Mitchell, Jr..
general counsel of the Northern Pacific.
who wrote asking for acvice under ex-
isting conditions. The telegram is:

J. Fl. Mitchell, Jr., General Counsel
Northern Pacific Railway: -.
Letter received. You have a clear
PERCEPTION of the situation, and your
ideas as to mode of proceeding are
sound. Every interference with the
property in the possession of the re-
ceivers, or the men in their employ, or
the operation of the road, is a contempt
OF court and a violation of law, and no
previous special orders of injunction
are necessary to make it so. In addi-
ton to contempt proceeding prosecution
should be instituted against every one
who violates any statute, state or fed
eral. advise that Judge Nelson and
the marshal apply at once for troops to
aid the marshal in enforcing the orders
of the court. The men employed TO
take the places of the strikers, and the
men who remain in the service must be
fully protected at all hazards. tits
obvious the struggle will be serious.

momentous one. If United States

eminent, cannot enforce its lawful orders
