erations on freight. Fruit, beer, cold stor-
age goods. and such other articles as were
designated as perishable freight. were here
removed from cars. A still larger amount
is awaiting immediate shipment, though
without any prospects whatever of NOV
ing the crop that is already ripe.
Seals on the car doors were broken and
waybills cancelled and then the freight
that had been packed away inside was
transferred to wagons ana moved thence TO
stores or steamers. CUld storage cars
were dripping as if a heavy rain was fall
ing from the roof. The teamsters took
away great quaint of beer in barrels
and bottles that had been consigned to
Stockton on straw and ice and shipped
them on river steamers. The ice was
everywhere strewn about in large blocks
among heaps of straw. Carloads OF fruit
consigned to interior points had to be sold
at great sacrifices and were then carted
away by retailers. In some instances
small sales were made at lmpromptu auc-
tons off the cais.
Judging from appearances of the i'm
mense quantities of freight tied up In the
Oakland yards. merchants and others IN
all parts OF the State are now suffering
great Inconvenience and financial loss.
The silence that has settled over those
busy and usually noisy places tells the Sig
nificant story of the rairoud boycott most
eloquenty.
From reliable sources it was learned that
there are HOO cars of fruit lying up on the
Southern ana Central Pacific tracks. The
farmers are feeling the strike more keenly

ON THE WATER FRONT.
A Lively Business Among the Bay
and River Steamers.


and River Steamers.
There were lively times yesterday on
the water front among the local agents of
the various bay and river steamers. Every
available craft that could be pressed into
service had steam up. and was preparing
10 make trips to various points on the bay
and Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers,
which were affected by the tieing CUP of the
railroad trains.
Piper. Alden s. Co.. who run the Vallejo
and Berkeley boats. were kept busy all
day long attending to orders for freight,
passengers and mails. They have been
besieged with inquiries from river points
away above Sacramento, from farmers
and others, who wish TO get freight to the
city, as to how accommodations could be
made.
They put the steamer Suno on the Val
lejo route, taking in RCdeO and Selby.
Last night the Sunol returned at 10 CLOCK
and an hour later she left laden with pass
engers for Vallejo. She will return at
1880 o'clock this morning and will ac-
cOmmodate Napa people who can reach
the city in no other way by stopping at
Selby and Rodeo. In the evening at
points and will continue her trips next
week. Besides having heavy freight orders
the steamer will carly express and mail
matter which can reach these points in no
other way. Their Berkeley boats were also
crowded.
The managers of the Stockton steamers
are also up to their necks in business, and
the Mary CARAT and the t. c. Walker
are making daily trips to MARTINEZ, Benicia,
Antioch and all other river points on the
way to Stockton. On and after next Tues
day the company expects 10 make two
trips a day, one at A. N. and one at P. NJ.
For the accommodation of the increased
coast traffic to Monterey and adjacent
points the tug Fearless will leave Folsom
street wharf at s A. NJ. to-day for Santa
Cruz, Moss Landing and Monterey in ad-
dition to the steamer Coos Bay.

"We will run every train ont to-mor-
row." confidently said Mr.. Fillmore, but
notwithstanding his assurance there was
no official order forthcoming from the
company up to the hour of going TO press
that passengers would be guaranteed
accommodation, and the order for the dis
continuance of the sale of tickets still
holds good.
the latest inform alton from the Oregon
overland which started out last evening
was to the effect that it had crossed the
ferry at Port Costa and was on its way
north. This report would seem to indi-
cate that the difficulties with the em ployes
on the ferry-boat had been either adjusted
or new men placed in charge.

EVENING A. R. U. MEETING.
Sympathy From Tracy-The Chicago
Strikers

The American Railway Union held a
meeting at West Oakland. at which the
hall was packed with strikers 1t was an
nounced that the union had at last effected
communication at Tracy, San Joaquin
County. The telegram reached there at 2
P. NJ, and reply was sent forthwith that
the men at Tracy would leave their work
al once. They had been kept in the dark
about the strike and heard Of it for the
first time yesterday afternoon. The news
was received with cheer and enthusiastic
applause.
Dispatches in the evening papers relat-
ing to the great tie-up were read befole le
the meeting. When dispatch announc ced

cago had gone on strike against scab fire.

information was Immediately conveyed to

who were then in session at Peralta Hall.
a few blocks off. About 100 railway en-
ployes signed applications for mem bership
in the union and paid their initiation de-
posts as guarantee of their regard for
the fight made by the strikers.
The union met again at p. NJ, when A.
y. GreRg, Carpenter, auuTesseu tne NEE l.
ing. He declared that it was the meanest
kind of subterfuge of the Southern Pacific
to stop traffic on the road because Pullman
coaches would not be allowed On trains by
strikers. The Pullman car, be said, is not
a necessity. but luxury. Freight and
fruits could be carried without having a
Pullman car switched on to every train.
and local passenger travel could get along
very well in day coaches. The speaker
was warmly appauded for his timely ad-
vice and pleasing sen timents. and after he
had closed the union went into executive
session for the third time during the day.

having demanded that the Pullman Company
arbitrate the differences existing between 1t

having refused utterly to entertain any propo-

and denying that any differences exist, did
declare boycott on all Pullman cars to the
end that said company may be compelled to
an bitrate the differences existing between it
and its employees.
The Southern Pacific Company, in the plen-
itude of its power and wisdom, has seen fit
TO espouSe the cause OF the Pullman Company
by refusing to run trains without Pullman cars.
This action OF the Southern Pacihc Com.

SEEKING PROTECTION.
T0wne Tells the Sacramento Sheriff
What His Duties Are.


When reports came in from Sacramento
yesterday that the strikers were having
everything their own way in that city,
General Manager Towne sent a telegram
of inquiry to Sheriff O'Neil of tha. city,
which brought forth the following re-
sponse:

7. w. O'NEIL, Sheriff.
The reply evidently was. in Mr.. Towne's
estimation. somewhat ambiguous, and that
official Immediately sat himself down and
sent Mr.. O'Neil another telegraphic COM
munication. as follows:
T. ". O'Neil Esq, Sheriff Sacramento
County, Sacramento, CAL: Your telegram re-
ceived. You say you Will suppress affrays,

not only 10 suppress, but to prevent all affrays,

OF the United States mails. These persons,
therefore, are unlawfully assembled. ana are

HOW THEY RAN.
What Befell Southern Pacific Trains
on the Road.

All the trains which went out during
yesterday afternoon were carefully looked
after from the chief dispatcher's office on
the mole. Up till midnight the Stockton
train was reported as having arrived at its
destination thirty five minutes behind
time. The Oregon train reached Port
Costa on schedule. was ferried over on the
Solano, Notwithstanding the report circu-
lated in Oakland that the boat crew had
struck and the vessel was anchored mid
stream. At Benicia it was switched to
Davisville and will proceed northward by
way of Red Bluff. Other trains we're re-
ported as being only few minutes each
behind time. One train was got through
from Stockton last night at 1857 O'Clock.

TO.DAY'S TRAINS.
The Rolling Stock Supply Men
prove n Puzzle

The railway officials give it out that all
the trains will run to-day with the robable
exception of locals to Sacramento and the
overland trains. The strikers are of a
different opinion and asked pleasantly
how the company can run trains when Il OF
enough stock comes back to make them
up. This is the puzzle that the railway
off cials will try TO solve early this MORN
ing.
The strikers do not seem to regard the
successful efforts of the company in get
ting out trains as any sort of menace 10
their position and freely predict that,
shorthaDded as they all are, some Of the
trains will most likely be laid out.
