TROOPS IN CALIFORNIA.
Regular Soldiers VIII Garry Out
Federal Court Orders.

SAN FRANCISCO July 2.-To-night at the
close of the fourth days struggle between
the Southern Pacific company and the A. r.
L., the strikers appear to have the upper
hand. Their blockade of the entire sys>
tenn is practically complete. The western
divisions of the Santa Fe road are in much
the same condition. In fact railway traffic
is almost at a standstill at all points on
the Pacific coast south of Portland, Ore.
North of Portland there is also much
trouble. the Northern Pacific road being
practically tied up and the Union Pacific
involved. All overland trains have been
effectually blocked and the only trains rum
ming anyv here are locals.
The two points of particular interest in
California tonight are Sacramento and Los
Angeles. In Oakland everything is quiet
The Southern Pacific Company this morning
pasted notices at the Oakland mole ANNOUNCE
ing that until further notice no attempt
would be made to dispatch overland trains
Suburban trains and few trains TO nearby
country towns were dispatched from Oak
land during the day, however. and met
with no interference. The Oakland yards
are still patrolled by deputy sheriffs. From
this city trains were run south irregularly
over the coast division. No crowds have
been permitted TO enter the company's
yards at Fourth and Townsend streets
loo policemen and $50 special policemen
having been stationed TO keep the strikers
and idlers from entering.
Though everything is quiet in the i'm
mediate vicinity of San Francisco excit-
ing developments are anticipated at Los
Angeles and Sacramento. the two points at
which the Southern Pacific Company is di-
recting its fire against the strikers. AT Los
Angeles the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
companies appear to have the cooperation
of the United StateSe authorities. On Sat
urday last the United States district at
torney at that point wired Attorney-gener-
al Olney that the United States marshal
was critically i'll and unable to muster
force OF deputies. Attorney Olney
replied TO District Attorney Denis that
General Ruger would furnish troops to
execute the process of the United States
court and prevent detention of the United
States mails. Attorney general Olney in
struc:ed General Kruger be furnished with
proper warrants or with other orders. Gen.
eral Ruger was at once notified by tele-

but little change in the strike situation
here except the arrival of companies of
the State militia from Delavin, Lincoln

that have come have stopped here. All
Wabash men here have joined the strikers,
