The widest excitement prevails. The
strikers are quietly armlng themselves
and are preparing to resist any effort to
disperse them. Guards have been sta
toned along the shore to warn strikers of
the approach of the steamers carrying
regulars. There is no doubt that if the
troops reach here to-day bloody conflict
is inevitable.
AS near as can be ascertained the strik-
ers are in possession of 1900 rifles and
are prepared for long siege. Harry
Knox, chairman of the mediation commit
tee, declares the strikers are not anxious
for bloodshed but would resist any at
tempt of regular troops to drive them
from the depot.
LOSING GROUND.
Los Angeles.-The strikers in this city
appear to be losing ground and the situa-
tion becomes more favorable to the rail
roads each day. Nearly all local trains
are departing on both the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific on schedule time and
the Southern Pacific has taken the initial
steps toward moving its freight. A Santa
Fe train arrived last night at $3.50 from
Ration, having two of the Objectionable
Pullmans attached. 1t Is one train of the
five that have been tied there since the
strike was declared in that section.
MOVING TROOPS TO SACRAMENTO.
San Francisco.-The crisis at Sacra-
mento will be reached in a day or two,
for the United States troops left for that
city early this morning. The troops
were armed and equipped as if they were
going out for a campaign that meant
much more than display of their forms.
The purpose is to move trains at all
hazards when the regulars reach the capi-
tai. The four post batteries stationed
at the Presidio, and two post batteries of
Alcatraz were got in readiness last oven
ing to go on board a steamer, which left
the Presidio wharf this morning. Two
gatllng guns, which the artillery men
who are going to Sacramento Will know
how to handle, were put on the boat.
Col. Graham led the force himself
Lieut. Col. Guenter, who is in command
at Alcatraz, also went to Sacramento.
TROOPS GOING ON BOARD.
AT l1:45 a. m. the steamer Alameda
landed at Preside and two troops of
cavalry and five battery companies, armed
with Gatling guns, are going on board.
1t Is believed that the destination of the
troops is for Sacramento or Oakland.
DEBs' POTENT ORDERS.
Memphis, Tenn.-Ninety men employed
in the Gulf, Colorado g. Santa Fe shops at
Galveston, Texas, went out on strike
to-day. The shopmen at Temple, Texas,
are also out. The strikers went out under
orders from President Debs.
The A. K. U. trainmen employed Oh the
Vicksburg division of the Queen & Cres-
cent railroad quit work to-day because
the road used Pullman cars. Trains are
moving with slight delay, however, and
no further trouble is expected.
NOT A SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Cincinnati, Ohio.-After a protracted
meeting the firemen on the st. Louis d.
vision of the Big Four railway, which ex-
tends from Cincinnati to St. Louis, went
out on strike to-day. They are of the
Brotherhood, and they strike on orders
from Local Chairman Odell. This is not
sympathetic strike. The men have
grievance.
INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.
ooiuu Jus, ohlo'-c ouu mcDrlde, preSl- |
dent of the United Mine Workers of Am
erica, received to-day the following tele-
gram from Samuel Gompers: "a crisis in
the industrial situation of the country is
at hand. 1t behooves US to endeavor to
bring order out of what threatens to be-
come chaos. The executive committee
of the American Federation of Labor will |
meet at the Briggs house in Chicago at |
10 o'clock on Thursday morning July 12.
You are cordially requested to meet US
there"
NoBMAL APPEARANCE.
Denver.-The Union depot presents an
entirely normal appearance to-day. |,
Trains are arriving and departing as usual
on all roads.
SENSIBLE MAYORS.
Detroit, Mich.-Mayor Pingree's propo-
sition to have the mayors of the leading
cities join hands to induce the Pullman
company to submit to arbitration seems |
to meet with general favor. A large
number of replies have been received by /
telegraph, almost without exception in
favor of the idea. No definite plan of
action has yet been decided upon.
QUIET AT ST. LOUIS.
st. Louis.-The condition of traffic at
this point is reaching its normal state.
On the west side of the river and on the
transfer systems the yards and engines
are fully manned. The east side freight
warehouses this morning reopened for
business and the volume of traffic handled
is showing al increased force of men at
work large enough to handls more than
now comes to them.
BEEF FOR THE FAR EAST.
Chicago, July 1O.--The blockade at the
stock yards was raised to-day when
Armour, Swift and Morris sent out train
of fifty-fve cars of meats early this morn
