that were adopted at the recent temperance
congress in Oakland.

tic gathering.

by Colonel Moore, who retained the chair for
the evening and opened the meeting with
PRAYER.
In few brief remarks he stated the object
of he gathering, and appointed Mrs. Henrietta
{. Brown secretary.
In consideration of the fact that the resolu-
lions as adopted at the congress did not meel

IRREGULAR SERVICE.
Only the Line to Ell Paso Is in Good
Running Order.

The freightsheds at Fourth and Town

pearance yesterday. and the receipts OF
goods were enormous. Teams were at the
sheds as early as $3.50 o'clock in the morn.
ing. awaiting the opening of the doors.
1t is probable that the overland train to
Portland will BIZ sent out this evening.
The railroad officials were not positive
bout the matter last evening, but said
that unless some unforeseen contingency
should arise this will be done.
Assistant General Superintendent Pratt
said yesterday that the service between
Oak land and FL Paso, both freight and
passenger, was now about in its normal
condition, but that on the Oregon and Sun
set routes the service was still irregular
Reno ap ears 10 be the scene of the great
est difficulty just now, the intense feeling
there being attributed 10 the presence of a
large number of idle men from Virginia
City and that locality.
The Southern Pacific officials assert that
they attach 20 importance To the action
INSTITUTED against the company in Los
Angeles Monday. One OF their number
said:
II haven't even read the petition all
through, as published in a morning paper.
But on the face of it there appears a
sweeping charge OF conspiracy and fraud.
And for what? Apparently there Is moth
ing to support il but the fact that the lines
of considerable number of separate rail-
road corporations are leased to and opera
TED by the Southern Pacific Company.
Does it make any difference whether
these numerous roads are operated by as
many different companies or by only one
Is it not clear that these various proper
ties, all connected with each other and
forming parts of one system. may be Op
Grated more efficiently, more econOm-
ically and in every way more advantage
ously to the interest of the public than if
they were each operated independently by
a separate corporation?
THE petition says that the defendants
have by means of these roads. operated as
one, monOpOlized trade and commerce.
NoE, suppose that instead of operating
them as one system Mr.. Huntington and
his associates had operated each of them
Independently by means of the various
original corporations. In that case would
the alleged monopoly be any he less !?
And If there were a monopoly what has
that TO do with the charge of conspiracy
and fraud 2"

from the roll kept off, as they were not
entitled to representation in the club or
the district.
"You will have to wait until the can
wasting committee submits its report and
you can then file minority report" said
Chairman Pepper. Mr.. Carroll retired ex-
pressing himself as not exactly satisfied
with the proceedings.
AS portion of the work in the Forty
first District list of 175 names was pre-
sented, representing that many who
should not be on the roll. 1t was filed
until the final report of the canvassing
committee was submitted.
written protest was filed by w. j.
FitzGerald of the Forty-tifth Assem- bly,
District against John NJ. Klein. who is the
nominee for president of the club in that
district. Fitzgerald claimed that KIan
was not a resident of The district He
lived at the corner of Twehty- fourth and
Alabama streets. but had place of bust
ness al 120 Montgomery street. Under the
Jaw FITZGERALD maintained that man must
register from his res dence and not from
his place of business. The matter was
laid over for consideration until the re-
port of the canvasslDg committee had been
received.
A member of the committee rose to re-
mark that this was an unfortunate dis
trict, that 1t was badly tangled up in
this regard, others of the nominees hold
ing doubtful rights to vote in the district.
Mr.. Klein, as if to lay special emphasis
on the unfortunate condition of the dis
trlct. presented his report as chairman. Ii
contained the names of 400 alleged stuff
eTs, and as Mr.. Klein laid it sadly on the
red cloth before Mr.. Pepper he remarked
that he believed there were still others.
He said the parties had been cited to ap-
pear and answer, but he needed more
time.
The committee appreciated the right of
his claim and it was granted. especially 10
view OF the fact that his own position In
the committee was il question.
The committee will meet tonight and
every night until Friday. when they ex-
pect that the final and corrected reports
Will be in and protests may be heard.

MILITIA ON POLICE DUTY.
They Brighten the Women by Skirm-
iSEling for Strikers.

The soldiers were cut doing police duty
on Cedar street yesterday. AT noon, much
TO the disgust Of the residents on that thor
oughfare, troop of cavalry. under COM
maud of Captain Blumen berg. made a
swoOp into the front gates, around In to
the side and back yards of their residences
on each side OF the street. They Eade a
warlike display, pOking their heads into
doors and windows where they were en-
tlrely unexpected and tsrrorlZing the
women who happened to be at home.
The excuse gwen for these actions on the
part of the soldiery was that they were
looking for strikers, although the people
around the Point thought they had discOv-
cred dynamite plot at least. Just how
they could have distinguished striker or
what they could or would have done with
one had they found him is something at
present buried in the breasts Of the mill
tary authorities.
This action of the National Guard was
severely criticized in Oakland, and not by
strikers alone. The people do not blame
the guard for protecting the compauy's
property against attack, hut they protest
against the Soldiery acting as police.

PAY AT LAST.
Employees and Strikers Were Given
Their Nav Wages.

The Southern Pacific pay car, long looked
for. came to West Oakland yesterday at
last. and S6O,OOO was paid out to employees
and ex-employes-most of it to the latter.
The car was first run into the mole. and
the men yet in the employ Of the company
we're paid off first. Then she was moved
on up 10 Atlantic and Cedar streets, the
strikers having been previously notified
that they could get their money at l
o'clock in the afternoon. and long before
that time long lines of them were stretched
out on the grounds outside of the picket
line waiting for the ghost TO walk" The
specter was a little slow, and il was 80
o'clock before two lines of soldeTy
stretched themselves from the end Of the
car to the lot beyond the picket line; the
HotchkisS and Calling guns were trained
on the crowd, the guard was lined up and
the strikers were notified that they could
come on and get their money. The line
began to move, and In one door and out
the other 1t passed for three solid hours,
the jingling of coin being heard above
everything else.
The hours of the afternoon passed off
practically without incident, the men who
were paid passing out of the second door
back Gu the other side Of the incoming
stream, out and away.
President Roberts of lhe A. K. Z. was
among the first to present himself but
beyond a whisper that ne was the head OF
the strike the crowd made no demonstra-
| ton. Charley Hall. another member Of
the executive committee. showed up little
later on his chestnut steed, and was in
| formed that he would have to catch the
car at Peraita street when the switcnmen
were paid off.
II was rumored around that when the
strikers went up to get their pay they
would be asked to return TO work. Ii
turned out that the rumOr had no fOunda-
ton. The men were paid their May wages
and any who asked for their pay for June
were told to get their time from the heads
of their departments and the money would

AS the men reached Seventh and Pine
streets. Roberts, who was standing on the
sidewalk, went out to talk with them.
Ahearn got excited at this and loudly
called upon Policeman Rodgers, who was
standing near 10 arrest Roberts. The
officer refused, but Ahearn insisted, and
Rodgers then told him that if he would
place his hand on Roberts shoulder he
would DO so. Ahearn failed TO comply
with the request, and after few more
words himself and bis crew passed on.
