st. Louis, July 9.-The great railroad
strike so far as st. Louis is concerned
may be said practically to be approaching
an end and the only desideratum now is
ability to transfer to outlying railroads
traffic originating here and hauled over
divisions having St. Louis as the orig
mating point. @
Chicago, July 10. - Peace reigns in
warsaw! The same cannot be said OF

still heard in her streets and the wheels
of commerce still lag. Nevertheless the
war cloud which has overhul.g this city
and this land for the past ten days shows
dis tirct signs of lifting. Instead Of
stories of additional railroads tied up at
various points thr ought 1T the country,
to-day's dispatches, almost without eX-
ception bring advices of strikers return
opJ-1 Mt.
Of traffic amounting in some places to a
return to normal conditions.
At. St:'Louis, Kansas City and Denver
| it was reported that railroad business had
about resumed it's normal conditions.
Nashville also reported an improvement.
About the only points at which the strike
managers showed any gain were in the
partial walk-out of firemen at Fort Scott,
Kan, the freight men on the Kanawha
& Michigan at Charleston, w. Va, and
the strike of the A. r. Z. men on the
Big Four at Mattoon. It will thus be
seen at the leading railroad centers the
strikers have made perceptible losses,
while their gains are at comparatively
unimportant points. .
! St. Paul, July 1O.-A bridge $50 feet
long on the Northern Pacific, near Liv-
ingston, Mont, was burned last night
stopping the Northern Pacific train sent
out of st. Paul with United States troops
on board and another coming east from
the coast. Traffic will necessarily be
suspended until the bridge is rebuilt A
great deal of talk was INDUCED in at the
conference between the Commercial clubs
of the Twin Cities and the committee OF
strikers, but no definite action was taken
Everything is quiet in the yards here
and in Minneapolis.
