A. r. u. strike committee:
Fillmore agreed to take back oil the men
| without prejudice. The company could not
withdraw their Pullmans without incurrlng a
lawsuit. All trains annuled until further
/ notice. j. II. DOUGLASS.
The last part Of this dispatch greatly
pleased the strikers here, who interpreted
Il to mean unconditional surrender on the
part Of tho Southern Pacific. They say
that pending settlement Of the question
at issue between Pullman and tho South.
ern Pacific company, no trains will bc run
out Of Sacramento.

consider ourselves bigger than tho law
and. incidentally, We think railroads arc

telling of evidence that most Of the freigh
car burning in Chicago was done by two
men in the employ Of the General Man
ayers association. Tho secret agents o
certain company saw two mon goins
through the yards with hand car loadet
with inflamablc waste, which they lightet
and systematically threw among tho cars
This agent overheard a conversation be
tween the men, from which he CLEANED
that they were paid 500 down and wer
to receive $500 more when tho job wa
done. This understanding was bcfor
tho troops were called out. An effort /
now being made to arrest these two men
We further have pretty positive eyidenc
that tho big man who led the mob OF 800
at Blue Island was Pinkerton man en-
ployed by the railroads, and it is signifl
cant that although he could be casll
, identified, yet he has not been arrested
