the vicinity Of the wreck and to arrest
all suspicious characters. The men in
the troop are bitter against the strikers
since the derailing of the train. and
their comrades ut the depot predict that
they will deal severely with any of the
strikers they may encounter. The regu.
lars can DO heard discussing the affair
on all sides, and 1t is evident from their
conversation that they are eager for an
engagement with the enemy. They say
they came here to do fair fighting and
not be killed like rats III a trap, and
they do not propose to submit to that
kind of treatment.

been arrested on suspicion Of having
been concerned in the wreck. They are
now in the g%uardhouse. They were ar
rested neal the scene Of the wreck by a

was on the train, saw the men Just be-
fore the train left the track and pointed
them out to the officers. They were
heavily armed when arrested. The
picket line now surrounds the depot here
Mt a distance of about q block in all d.
rections. There have been rumors Of
dynamite buried in the depot and 1t is to
avoid all danger of explosion that the
depot is guarded.

making up for lost time and is now dis
posing of the appropriation bills at a
rapid rate. The record for Wednesday

rather wider range and an attack on
Commissioner Lochren and Secretary

Of the policy of the Democratic party in
general. Senators Cullom and Gallinger
led the attack, while Senator Palmer
acted on the defense.
The strike question again agitated the
senate, although nothing like the fiery
passion Of Tuesdays speeches on the sub
ject marked the proceedings.
After an hours debate. in which the
courage and patriotism and firmness of
the president was commended by all,
Senator Daniels substitute indorsing the
presidents action and pledging him the
sympathy and support Of the nation was
adopted instead Of Senator PETERS reso.
