TRAINS GOING IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
No Less Than Sixteen Arrived and
Departed Yesterday.
All Carried More or Less Passengers
Many Railroad Men Are Re-
porting for Duty.

condition, due to the presence here of the
strong military force. Under its protec-
ton the railroad company has been
enabled to completely break the block
ade, and trains are now running in all
directions.
Men who had been out in consequence
of the strike are returning to work in con-
siderable numbers, and the officials OF
the company stated yesterday that there
was no lack of men to handle the cars or
run the trains. Among those who were
forced out of the shops were many who
were not members of the Railway
Union, and therefore have been ready at
any time to resume their old positions,
but beside these there are some men
now at work who week ago loudly pro-
claimed their determination to uphold
the strike.
There were no sidewalk crowds yester-
day worth mentioning, and the city pre-
sented its wonted appearance. There
were more or less visitors to the strikers
headquarters during the day, but no dis
turbance was reported anywhere. While
many of those who have taken leading
parts in the strike persisted in saying
that it was still in force, il is sig
niticant that the remark generally heard
among citizens was: well, the strike
appears to have been broken"
Beginning with the early hours of the
morning trains departed and arrived
with something like their usual regularity.
The ticket office at the depot did fair
business, and the hotel 'busses ratified to
and from the depot with outgoing and
incoming passengers. There was quite a
large force of men at work making up
trains, examining the running gear OF
cars, oiling engines, etc, and to the cas-
Ual observer things were going along
nearly as usual.
There is large force of regular troops
on duty, however, supplemented by 500
to 900 men of the National Guard, many
OF the latter being now employed in
travelling on the trains to protect the
mails. a portion OF the cavalry are used
for scouting service in the vicinity of the
American River bridge and the trestles
west of Washington, but the main body
remains at the depot ready for duty at a
moments notice.
MOVEMENT OF TRAINS.
The first train to leave the city yester-
day was the local for San Francisco,
which departed at 7:l0 a. NJ, with num-
Der Of passengers, mail, etc.
At 1925 the train for San Francisco via
Lathrop went out, and shortly afterward
the Castle Crag special left with a strong
military guard, the intention being to
proceed as far as Dunsmuir and straighten
out matters in that small but lively burg,
where the strikers have been having
things pretty much their own way
There was also sent out good-sized
fruit train for Ogden.
In the afternoon trains were dispatched
fer San Francisco,f ColfaX, Oroville, Red
Bluff and Los Angeles. All had passen-
gers and mails, and were well protected
by troops.
In the forenoon the train that went to
Placerville on Saturday evening with q
detachment of soldiers from Company Z,
Second Infantry, n. G.. c., of this city,
returned without having encountered an
unpleasant incident. On the contrary,
the trip was one continued ovation on the
part OF the people along the route, who
cheered the train as it passed. At Placer
vile the people turned out en- masse and
made the arrival of the train the occasion
for general jubilee. The ladies brought
armsfuu of flowers for the trainmen and
soldiers, and hours We're spent in cele-
brating the opening up of railroad COM
munication.
AT 3 O'Clock the train known as No. l,
or the second-class overland, arrived
from Oakland, having made the run in
the usual time, four hours. 1t was COM
posed of two mail and three baggage cars,
three day coaches, two tourist coaches
and three frst-class Pullman coaches.
All were well filed with passengers.
A strong guard of soldiers also came
along. Among the passengers were
several Sacram entans, who said the train
came right along without the slightest
hitch or trouble. Here and there scme
half witted person would jeer at the
soldiers, but the majority of the people
cheered the train.
An interesting incident occurred while
~af, OF I1fr rt,OI r n,.,, ,~,c
the coaches was filled with men and
women from Salt Lake who had been at
tending the Midwinter Fair and also
were delegates to the convention of the
Epworth League. They were all prac-
ticed vocaiists, and while the train was
in the depot they sang a number of
hymns and patriotic songs. The regular
soldiers who were not on active duty
gathered alongside the coach and Joined
in the ehoruses, much to the qualification
of the singers.
The national anthem " America - was
beautifully rendered. While it was be-
ing sung sparrow flew in at one of the
open windows OF the coach and was cap
tured by lady who sat by the window
She held the tiny bird gently in ner hand
until the words sweet land of liberty"
rang out, when she stretched forth her
hand and liberated the bird. The spar
row few gaily away to the edge of the
depot. when-as if not deeply impressed
with tue outlook in the direction of the
city-it returned and again entered at the
open window and became one Of the reg
ular passengers.
The little incident did not escape the
notice of the crowd, who heartily ap-
plauded. AS the train pulled out OF the
depot little haxen-haired child waved
her hand TO the soldiers, and the latter
took of their hats and gave three lusty
cheers.
RED BLUFF MALCoNTENTs.
A few minutes later another train ar
rived from Oakland by way of Stockton,
and about the same time one came in
from Red Bluff. The latter bore Captain
Z. B. Halls detachment of thirty-two
men from Company q of this city, who
accompanied the train on its trip north
ward on the preceding day. The men
were dusty, and looked tired, but they
marched away with firm step to their
comfortable camp in Capitol Park to re-
cuperat6.
Captain Hall said the train was every
where received with cheers of welcome
except at Red Bluff, where the strikers
appeared to have their own way. There
the crowd acted suIlen and ugly. An
effort had been made to prevent the
soldiers and trainmen from getting any
food IN the place, but one hotel was
found the proprietor of which had the
good sense TO place no obstacle in the way
OF providing the men with meals.
