SACRAMENTO, July 2.-Division Super
intendent Wright has sent the following
letter TO Mayor Steinman:
SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 2, s94.
Hon. B. U. Stetnnldn, Mayor of the city of
Sacramento Cdg.-DEAR SIR: hereby notify
you that the passenger depot depot grounds,
yards ana other property OF this company are
and have been for the past two days crowded
with strikers and idlers congregated for the
purpose evidently of preventing the company
from moving its cars, engines, etc. We believe
there is danger If an attempt to move our cars
Is made OF violence and destruction of our
property and other damages. We demand pro.
lection from the city authorities. and in case
any violence damage should be done we
shall hold the city OF Sacramento. in which the
property is located, responsible for the damage
and demand payment from said city. Yours
truly, j. B. WRIGHT

SACRAMENTO, July 1, 1894.
Hon. B. y. Steinmd7s. Mayor Of the Citg Of
Sacramento, CaL.-DEAR SIR: Referring TO
my letter OF this date in regard to the liability
OF riots, damage, ETC., to our property and
demand for protection for the properly of this
company located in Sacramento City, If you
are unable to furnish the protection therein re-
ferred to- then we demand that you call upon
the Governor of this State for necessary aid to
bring about the desired result, under section

to violence.

deputies are still here and appear deter
mined to carry ont the instructions Of
United States Attorney-General Olney.
The Marshal, with thirteen deputies, was
at the depot early this morning. Mr..
Baldwin refused to be interviewed, but
intimated that he would attempt 20 move
the mail trains this afternoon.
Shortly after IL O'Clock this morning
Baldwin sent for Knox and informed him
of his intention to move the mail train.
He cautioned Knox against allowing his
men TO interfere with the train and inti-
mated ii necessary he would have the
United States troops called out. Knox
replied that the strikers would not inter-
fere with the train. but reserved the right
to speak TO the crew with the view of hav-
ing them join the strikers. This was
agreed to, ana as soon as an attempt is
made to move the train the mediation COM
mittee will board it and request the crew
TO walk out.
According to Assistant Division Super
intenden: Jones the reason that the mail
train was not moved this morning. as was
expected, was on account OF the action OF
the strikers or their sympathlzers in un-
splhlHS Idilo Conlis uouo w Washing op,
across the river. For distance of nearly
100 feet rails have been loosened and
switches blocked. A boxcar was also
placed across the track, thus completely
blockading the road. Chairman Knox of
the mediation committee strenuously de-
MES that mis- men are guilty of the outrages.
He claims that the damage was done by
men who are in sympathy with the
strikers.
To an Associated Press reporter this
evening Assistant Superintendent Jones
said "Our failure to move the mail trains
to-day is due to the action of the strikers

TRAINS AT FRESNO.
Strikers Warned Off by a Deputy
United States Marshal.

FRESNO, July 2.-Local train 16 left on
time for Lathrop, train 25 left ON time for
Porterville and No. Is local arrived at
Fresno this evening three hours ahead
of time.
L. E. Walker of Fresno was passenger
on No. Is. He says he arrived at San
Francisco from Sacramento this morning
at o'clock. He could not ascertain any
Information as TO the departure of train
south. so he concluded to return to the
Oakland mole and await developments.
About 80 o'clock train was made up
for Stockton. 1t was held at LatErop four
hours.
Shortly after No. 16 arrived from Fresno
train 10 was made up. When the Stockton
train pulled in at Niles strikers attempted
to speak 10 the fireman. a Deputy United
States Marshal standing near the engine
warned them not to get on the cab. One
Of the strikers called out "Scab," the
deputy saying That will do" The strik-
ers fell back.
Hudson and Englebright. the engineer
and fireman who left Fresno Sunday morn
ing with No. 19. have returned to Fresno.
A special engine picked them up seven
miles north of Bakersfield. Assistant Su-
perintendent Whitmer is still here.

ths language Of Judge Jackson in n somewhat
similar case that arose In West Virginia In
1898, tits proIer for me TO say that exactly
what is involved in the strike which has
brought bout all of the trouble here aud else
where is not for you or me to investigate.
AT this time IL is not necessary TO say which
side is In the right which side is in the wrong,
or wDethe her, in fact, either side is in the wrong.
Upon tie merits of that question 1t may be well
to again say that there is but one way to re-
dress a wrong known in this country, and that
is through the regularly constituted tribunals
OF the country. No man or set Of men, no COM
munistic combination of men. can lawfully un-
dertake to redress wrong except in the way
pointed out by law. Whenever men attempt TO
unlawfully combine themselves together for the
purpose OF redressng wrong they strike at the
very foundation OF those laws which give them
the rights OF citizen, the protection of Lille, OF
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
1t is the solemn duty OF all good citizens to
ponder and think Of these things and be sure
that their acts, whatever they are, be within
and not contrary TO the laws of the country;
and it Is the sworn and imperative duty Of
those charged with the administration OF the
laws to take prompt and vigorous measures TO
bring TO the bar of justice any and every.infrac-
tion of them.
MNo trains went out on either the South
ern Pacific or Santa Fe. Operators went
out on the San Fe last night. 1t was re-
ported to-day that the engineers on the
Southern Pacific had agreed to strike to-
morrow morning at o'clock, but the re-
port is denied by employees
Superintendent Burkhalter says that
trains will not come through from Bakers
field to-day. He says that lie head that
the engineers had agreed to 60 to work al
7 o'clock on Tuesday, but has nothing off,

of both the Santa Fs and Southern Pacific

Then the boat came and the delay was
explained. F. V. Meyers. the local chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
glneers was on board the boat and they
had waited for him. HIS mission was

not divulged. He was quickly assigned a
position in the Pullman. the order was
given to start and the train moved lowly
down the yard. The engine puffed and
the bell Changed a gentle alarm, while
gaping crowds for Alameda, Oakland and
Berkeley stood by and wondered where
the war would be.
Four priyates stood solemnly in the cab
alongside Engineer Abbey and Fireman
Gazelo. On the front end of the baggage
coach stood two more with their muskets
at rest and on the steps of each coach
stood two more, armed to the teeth.
The whistle blew sharply. there was a
rush of escaping steam. a big puff of black,

the San Joaquin Valley TO Bakersfield and
Los Angeles, and it is estimated it will
make forty-five miles an hour. Two extra
engine crews went out on her so that there
will not be a delay. At Bakersfield the
first trouble is expected. The rioters,
whether strikers or not, the company has
good reason to believe are assembled there
in large numbers and bent on mischief.
The train is scheduled to arrive there
about Z o'clock in the morning.
There are 800 TROOPS with the following

II can't say just exactly what trouble

Wilder, "or where we expect it. have no
definite Information that there are strikers
assembled in force at Bakersfield, but
from past occurrences and from general
! information l am inclined to think they
are there or thereabouts."
Just to show how the railway officials
fret at getting out the train could be gath
cred from little incident that happened
at the engine just before the train started.
1t seems that it was the design to run up to
Sixteenth street. Oakland. and take on an
extra fireman there. Engineer Ebbey was
in some doubt as to whether he would only
slow up the train or stop to let the man
on"
''Shall I only slow up?" he asked of
Master Mechanic Mckenzie, who was
standing at the cab steps, ''or shall come
to stop"
'Slow up be -" and Mckenzie said
a very abrupt word. Come to dead
stop. If the United States Army can't
stop to take on a fireman they had better

the Southern Pacific was confident that no
strikers could prevent its train from going
ahead with regulars aboard. The ex.
element on the mole died down immedi-
ately after the departure Of the train. The
electric lights ilickered only for the moths
who never desert the yellow posters which
conveyed to the dear public the unutter-
able love Huntington and Towne per-
sisted in feeling and bulletining. The
depot scavengers came out of their lairs,
and the depot restaurant closed up its
once busy bar. The seat of war had been
transferred from the mole to the south

consisted in masking the mallcar and
coupling il up last in the train. The In
tention was that if any strikers interfere
with the passage of the train this last car
may be easily slipped. thus leaving the
strikers under the charge of obstructing g
the mails and affording a pretext for
Federal interference.

the Votero of Little Falls
in French. ~ @

Hon. D. Michaud. Of st. Paul,
spoke at the court house Monday
evening in the French language.
There were about one hundred and
fifty persons present and while we
could not understand the speakers
remarks, we Judge from the frequent
and hearty applause that the speech
was nightly appreciated by the
audience. MIR. Michaud spoke on
the tariff question on which he Is
we'll posted, and he made many Re-
publican votes. A fOrcible and elO-
quent speaker, he held che audience
for over an hour and interested the
people. He was followed by H: K.
Mallette, Of Mile Laos, Republican
candidate for representative, who
made some good remarks on the
questions of the day Mr.. Mallette
lays no claims to being an orator,
but he gave the people sound bust
ness talk. He will lie heard from

Hon. s. NJ. Owen. Populist cnn0i-

court house Friday evening. At the
opening the hall was crowded but
before the speech was at an end a
large number had left the room.
This was certainly in keeping with
the chilly reception he met with
upon his arrival.
Mr.. Owen spoke for nearly two
hours, and the burden of his speech
was free silver. He was also III
sympathy with the Democratic
party on the tariff question. Those
who had heard Mr.. Owen before
were very much disappointed in him
this time.

Meeting at Pierz.

The first Republican meeting ever
held in the village of Pierz was held
there on Monday evening and adj
dressed by NJ. M. Williams, C. b.
Buchanan and N. Richardson. There
was an attendance Of from seventy
five to one hundred persons not
withstanding the efforts OF John
Stumpf and other Democrats to keep
the people away. The people had
an opportunity of hearing good,
sensible discOurses on the political
issues and the remarks made by the
speakers were we'll received. All the
points were made clear to the people
and the applause was frequent.
The speakers were highly pleased
with their reception.
This meeting proves one thing and
that is that the intelligent people of
that prosperous town will not long
act upon the advice ofJolln Stun,pf.
but ere thinking for themselves, and
want to know more about theissues
of this campaign.
AS an illustration of the methods
used by the Democrats in this cam
paign which are certainly in line
with the actions of the county gangs
paper, and county officers who tear
down and deface bills. we give the
following: While Mr.. Buchanan was
speaking one of Stumpf's men came
into the hall and shouted that all
good Democrats could have free beer
by going to certain saloon. Not
one of the audience followed him out
and he went away disgusted.

Political Notes.

A rousing Republican meeting was
held at Swan River Friday evening.
Some good speakers were present
and their remarks were well re-
ceived.
The writer tore himself away from
business cares sufficiently long last
week to take a drive out in Buck
man and Morrill, with Valentine
Kasparek, the Republican nominee
for county auditor. The object of
the trip was, of course, to see the
voters of those towns, or as many
of them as possible, in the interests
of Mr.. Kasparek for auditor. Things
look very favorable for him out
there and he will get the full vote of
his party and many Democratic
votes.-Royalton Banner.
The Select knights of America
gave a party at their hall Friday
evening in honor of the members OF
the order who are going to the
woods. They had a delightful time
and everything was highly enjoyed,
especially the supper which was
served at midnight. There was an
abundance of good things left and
these were sent to needy families and
highly appreciated by them. Thanks
are due the ladies for the delicacies
furnished.s
