Passenger Trains Moved with Him
drance-RniINny officials Hopeful.

CINCINNATI July IA most ominous
quiet prevailed here to-day. All pass enger
trains on all roads with Pullman cars ar
rived and departed as usual. The Cincin-
natl. Hamilton * Dayton sent out freight
trains to-day and received them without
any trouble. The Louisville Sc Nashville
brought in a hundred cars of perishable
freight and delivered it to the Panhandle.
The railroad managers held a meeting
this afternoon and reported the outlook
encouraging. They feel confident the engi-
neers and other trainmen will not go out.
They have been employing new switchmen
all day and arranging for special police
and deputies 10 protect the new men who
are to be placed in the yards tomorrow
morning
The engineers and firemen of the Big
Four and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton railways met this afternoon and de-
clded that they hau no grievance and
would remain.
Three engineers of the Cincinnati South
ern, at Ludlow, gave notice tonight that
they had quit. They stated that the en-
gineerS on the Southern had been ordered
off. a new engineer and fireman took out
the O'Clock Southern train tonight 1t
consisted of mail, express. baggage cars,
two coaches and three Pullman seepers.
On the. engine and each car were deputy
marshals armed with Winchester rifles.
They were not disturbed.
There is trustworthy information of fric-
ton between Debs and Phean. Debs
blames Phelan for ordering out the switch
men of the Big Four, which, he says,
was unjustifiable and unauthorized. To-
night Phelan went to Secretary Schaff
who represents the Big Four in the alb
sence of President ingalls,, and offered to
order the switchmen of the Big Four to
return to work provided Schaff would rec
Ognize Phelan representing the AmerI-
can Railway Union and would give his
word that the men would be received
without prejudice. Secretary Schaff refused
the first condition.
a meeting of strikers and their sympa-
thiZers numbering four thousand. was ad-
dressed tonight by General Kelly, of the
commonweaIers. and by F. W. Phelan,
of the American Railway Union.
Men to take the places of strikers to-
morrow are coming in numerously and are
chartered quietly.

AT THE TWIN CITIES.
About 1,35O Men Out i'm st. Paul and
1.5OO i'm Minneapolis.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 1.-At the head
quarters OF the American Railway Union
II stated that the number of men
now on strike in this city as an out
growth of the Pullman boycott was about
1850. OF this number over one-half are
employees Of the Northern Pacific, and
most of the remainder are on the pay
rolls of the Chicago Great Western, the
Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul and the.
Burlington. About 100 are also out in
Minneapolis. Reports to the union were 10
the effect that in spite of the fact that
trains were running pretty regularly in,
the passenger service freight traffic was
in a state of paralysis. Officials of the
railways compared notes this afternoon,
but found little in the situation TO make
them cheerful. They admitted that traffic
demoralized. but secuted the idea that
they would ever give up the fight. lead
ing Northern Pacific official said the en-
ployes would not be permitted to win If
the roads had TO close down entirely for
six months. They had no intention, how
ever of doing this. The Northern Pacific
would begin hiring new men in few
days, and he understood other roads would
do the same. A report comes from the
South St. Paul stockyards this evening
that not a head of stock is arriving there;
that all the country points have been or
dered TO cease shipments, and that the
supply of fresh meat will not last longer
than forty-eight hours. a report of like
tenor comes from the Minnesota transfer.

the trainmen who have joined the strik-
ers. Six hundred men are out here Ten
through Wabash passenger trains are
side-tracked and five hundred passengers
are laid out. Many Of them have been in

passengers petitioned the strikers to allow
the trains TO go to terminal stations.
The strikers returned the petition with a
refusal. Then the passengers wired Gov

trains The Governor has wired Sheriff
Perl for information as TO the situation.
No reply has been made yet to the Gov
ernor

IN CALIFORNIA.
Southern Pacific TrcstIe Burned and
Trains Tied Up.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-There seems
to be no Improvement in the strike situa-
ton to-day, and judging by the occur
rences of the past twenty-four hours, even
If the Southern Pacific succeeds in send
ing out more trains from the Oakland
yards there is but little prospect that
they will proceed far on their way. The
Oregon express, which left Oakland last
evening unmolested by strikers, is now
effectually stalled at Red Bluff, and to
make the situation worse over two hun
dred feet Of trestle a few miles north
OF Dunsmuir was burned last night, and
it will take several days TO repair this
damage before trains can pass between
here and Portland. 1T is claimed that the
burning OF the trestle is the work of strik
erS, but that fact is not established yet,
and there is another report that the tres
tie was fired by wood choppers who had
been crowded out of employment by Ital-
ians and Chinese. AS soon as the fire
was reported at Dunsmuir this morning
the local members OF the American Rail-
way Union sent large force or men
10 eXtInSuIsh the flames. They also placed
guards al other exposed bridges and tres
Ties and cleared the town of a number
or suspicious characters
The strikers have already commenced
interference with railroad property at Red
Bluffs. When the Oregon train arrived
there this morning il was stopped just
outside of the town by a danger signal,
and when an attempt made to start
again IT was found that the track was
creased, and further investigation showed
that it was creased for a distance or
eight miles. The train managed TO get
TO the station, and was boarded by strik-
ers, who cut the train in three sections
and left il the main track. The two
deputy marshalS who accompanied the
train Were powerless. The strikers also
pulled the spikes from the rails, emptied
the water from the tanks and secured
the switches with padocks. The train
could proceed no further.
The Los Angeles express, which left
Oakland last night. has failed TO reach
its destination. 1t went as far as Fresno
last night, but the fireman deserted there.
A few hours later another fireman was
obtained and the train made a second
start, going as far as Bakersfield when
il again stalled
The railroad officials have evidently
abandoned the idea of moving any trains
with PullmaNs attached, and they are
at Sacramento. General manager Towne
has called upon the sheriff at Sacramento
TO drive about one thousand strikers
from the station, the blockade can be
raised but the sheriff insists the men
have not been guilty Of unlawful acts.
and he therefore cannot interfere until
they raise a disturbance. A special en-
CINE and car left Oakland for Sacramento
this afternoon carving Superintendent
upon the sheriff To clear the station at
once and unless he complies Governor
Markham will be asked to order out the
National Guard.

FEARS FEDERAL FORCES.
knight of Labor Hayes Makes an APP
neal to COnCressnien.

PHILADELPHIA July John w.
Hayes, general secretary of the Knights
OF Labor. is doing his best to have the
United States government keep its hands
eff in the present big fight between the
railroads and their employees He has writ
ten the following letter in behalf of the
X. of l.. to Congressman and Senator'S in
support of a resolution to be introduced by
Senator Kyle tomorrow, at the instance
of Mr.. Hayes
"Gentlemen-We beg leave to call your
attention to the joint resolution introduced
by Senator Kyle in the United States Sem
ate to-day Monday. July p, and ask for
it at your hands immediate favorable con-
sderation. The United States government,
if I'VE are correctly informed, contracts with
the various railroad corporations to carry
the United States mails. In no case do
the contracts call for the attachment of
other cars than mail cars on mail trains
The various companies whose employees
are now on strike are seeking to enlist the
services of the United States government
in coercing their employees to perform serv-
ices against their Will, under cover of the
said contracts for carrying mails. 1t is
well known that these employees stand
ready at all times TO do service on mail
trains.
I'm view of these facts and the hereto,
fore declared policy of the government TO
prises. such as railroad corporations. I'M
less the laws of the land are violated We
hereby petition you to carry out this de-
clared policy now by the passage of the Kyle
joint resolution. The railroads are either
public private enterprises. If the former,
il is the duty OF the government TO assume
control thereof. and give TO the employees
the same fair emolument and just treat
ment accorded all other government SEM
plOyes. If the latter. the government has
no right to interfere in any way between
the railroad corporations and their en-
ployes, render the former the assistance
of the United States courts or armies in
coercing said employees. If the mail cons
tracts of the government with the railroad
companies are not complied with there is
ample remedy in the penalties attached
and in the courts of the land
Believing the above to be the facts in
the case. we respectfully petition YOU to
dc justice to the great mass of your con-
s\tuents by the Immediate passage of the
kyIe joint resolution"
Mr.. Hayes expresses himself as sure that
the men will win the fight if not interfered
with by government troops. They will
hold Chicago in their grasp" said he, lana
not only Chicago but all the great West,
if the federal government does not SEND
troops against them. or IL the men them
selves do not resort TO violence. They have
all the best of il. and will win as sure
as tate if present conditions hold good for
ty-eight hours longer"

Meetings Mt Pittsburr.

PITTSBURG, July 1-Several meetings
were held here to-day by railroaders, but
nothing definite can be learned as TO any
action taken. 1t is known. however, that
the men are in very restless state OF
mind. and any reasonable pretext would
be sufficient to bring about strike.

men in Allegheny tonight it was an
nounced that the employees Of the Fort
Wayne road who had been suspended on
account of lack of business were asked to
go to Chicago to take the places of strik-
ers, and upon their refusing their names
were stricken from the books This is con-
Sidered by the men equivalent to a dis
charge. Should such be the case, II is
thought il would be ground for a grievance.

the strike would reach here by Tuesday.
