The latest information at this time con
corning the Debs- Pullman strike Civ es
no hope of an immediate rift in the
general blockade. Saturdays dispatches
tell of fight at Chicago between mil
itiamen and strikers, resulting in the
death and disability Of 20 strikers.
Anarchy seems to prevail to great ex-
tent throughout the city. Regular
troops are being modified as rapidly
as possible and it is expected that I'LL
trains will have to move under military
guard. Marshal law is said to have
been declared and General Miles is in
command. Friday night three thou
sand cars were set on fire by the Strlk-
ers and contingent of anarchists that
have taken advantage of the confusion
to ply their Obstructive occupation. Gov
Altgeld, Debs and Master Workman
Sovereign protest that there is no oc-
casion for the interference of the reg
ular army, but the administration at
Washington think differently. Gen
eral Miles has issued an order to resist
by force of arms all acts OF hostility
such as firing upon railroad trains, as
saulting trainmen, marshalS or soldiers,
throwing at them rocks, peices of iron
or other missiles. That means that
temporizing with the strikers is at IN
end and that the supremacy of the law
will he maintained at the point of the
bayonet. The engineers, conductors
and agents, generally, refuse to take
any part in the strike. Master Work
man Sovereign seems to indicate that
the Knights of Labor may be ordered
out unless satisfactory adjustment is
made with the Pullmhn employees.
The number of strikers is now esti-
mated at $4,000, if the Knights 60 out
the number will be increased by $780,
600. There are indications that many
other trades and labor unions may join
the strikers. In Southern California
there seems to be some signs OF a
clearing up, but it may be only temper
AIRY. There is prevailing opinion that
the real situation is not fully under
stood and it is believed that many i'm
pOrtant facts in connection with the
strike are suppressed. In Idaho there
has not yet been any violence although
the strikers are very determined Only
two trains got over the Short Line be-
tween Sunday the lst and Sunday tue
9Th inclusive. These trains ran from
POcatellO to Huntington bringing east
ern mail but nothing from the west be-
yond Huntingdon The tie up at Port
land and Spokane seems to be complete.
The damage to the country is almost
incalculahle.
TROUBLE IN NORTH IDAHO.
In North Idaho the miners are max
ing trouble. Gov. Mcdonnell has re-
ceived information to the effect that
part of the machinery in the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mines has been blown
up by dynamite The state militia be-
ing ftnctus oNcio, the governor has
appealed to the Federal authorities for
regulars. A reward of $1,000 has been
offered for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer or murdererS of Knee
bone, the blacksmith at Gem. Similar
rewards have been offered for the ap-
prehensiOn of the dynamiters who
blew up the Bunker Hill and sullivan
Mills, and for the apprehension of any
person using explosives for the destruc
ton OF property. 1t is expected that
troops will be sent promptly to North
Idaho.
STAGE ROBBERY ON THE 7TH.
Two masked men held up the Silver
City and DeLamar Stage, near Walters
Ferry about nine o'clock a. m. on tho
eth. They supposed that there would
be considerable treasure aboard as it
was the regular monthly pay day.
But the money had been delayed en-
route from the east. 1t is said that the |
robbers got nothing but CALDWELL |
TRIBUNE, Boise Statesman, bottle of |
beer and the drivers gold watch. They
spread the Statesman down and sat up
on it, opened the beer and enjoyed |
themselves reading The TRIBUNE un-
til the drivers watch indicated that the !
time had arrived for them to go-they
went and are still absent. A lady and
child were the only passengers and they
were not molested. That shows the
moral influence of good literature.
DROWNED AT EMMETT.
Thomas Sheppard, age 20 years, while
working Oh the bridge at Emmett, Sat
urday, undertook to save 4 small boat .
which was floating down stream. He
jumped into the river and was drowned. ,
The young man was highly esteemed
by all who knew him and his unhappy
death is deeply regretted. He was Il
son of Joseph Sheppard an old and re-
spected, resident of Emmett. At last
accounts the body had not Ueen recOv-
cred.
