Oakland.
SAN Francisco, GALA, 6. - The
strikers at the Oakland yards and along
the mole and onthe narrow guage lines
effectually maintain the blockade on all
the lines running down the mole.
Wherever the strikers find live en-
CINE they promptly take possession OF
II, rake the fires, blow off the steam and
leave it dead on the tracks. There were
no acts of violence committed. The
Sheriff of Alameda county arrested a
man engaged in the act Of "killing" an
engine. The man was released on his
promise not TO interfere with railroad
property. The strikers have no fear of
the militia. They say not man in all
the command now under arms at the
armOry will obey an order to fire or use
the bayonet. Their authorities for this
statement are the boys in blue them
selves. From present indications the
company will make no effort to resume
local and suburban traffic for some time
to come, so that the only means of travel
will be by the creek route.
EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAILS
and mails for California and Arizona are
being sent out via steamers north and
south 20 connect with railroad routes
not affected by the big strike. On the
coast division mails are sent out in a
baggage car, all OF the mail cars being
tied up at the other end OF the run.
In case President Cleveland should
call upon the federal troops to.Quell the
riot at Sacramento be will have about
l 1000 soldiers in California at his com
mand. These comprise four troops Of
cavalry, nine batteries of artillery and
eleven companies Of infantry.
A woMEN's AUXILIARY.
The women of Oakland have organ
lied a woman's auxiliary league and
will help the strikers in every possible
way.
The officials realize that so far as
their interests are concerned very Sc
rious blunder has been committed in
sending federal troops TO Los Ang-
eleS and the national guardsmen
TO Sacramento. Had the plan been re-
versed, tie situation to-night might
have been reversed. While the rail
road was striving to recover its lost
ground, the strikers made the import
ant play of Selling the ferry system.
! To send federal troops TO Sacramento
now will leave Oakland without protec-
ton, and the company's officers are at
= loss what 10 do. The United States
authorities have telegraphed the condi-
tion Of affairs 10 Washington, and have
urged that the federal troops be called
| out. Everything, therefore, is depend
ent upon the action OF President CIeve-
land.
Tonight the Southern Pacific com
pany seems TO be no nearer the manage
ment of their road in California. The
striking A. r. U. men still control the
road. AT Oakland the blockade is still
complete, not even suburban ana freight
trains running. At Sacramento, where
the situation is most serious, not a
wheel is turning. There has been no
trouble there to-day, however, and no
further effort has been made to move
trains. The strikers there are conf
dent.
PULLMAN Is MUM.
New YORK, July George NJ. Pull
man declined TO see reporters to-day OF
make any statement concerning the de.
sire of Mayor Hopkins that he return
to Chicago aud arbitrate with the strk-
ers. Neither would he discuss the gen.
eTal situation.
ENGINEERS HAVE A GRIEVANCE.
CLEVELAND, o., July 6.-The griey.
ance committee OF the Brotherhood oil
Engineers OF the Lake Shore went Il
Chicago last night The engineers
grievance lies in the rule put in force
holding engineers responsible for loss
resulting from accident where the com
pauy considers the engineers negligent.
The engineers will ask to have this rule
rescinded. The result may have an sn.
portant bearing.
BUFFALO MAY BE TIED UP.
BUFFALO, y. Y, July Ga telegram
has been received from President Deos
that Buffalo A. r. Z. men will be called
out inside Of twenty-four hours. The
railroad managers are growing a little
nervous over the situation, though they
profess ability to cope with the striker:
and contempt for their strength.
SERIOUS OUT IN UTAH.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 6.-Attor.
ney General Olney late this afternoon
received a joint telegram from the Act,
ing Governor of Utah, the Judge oil
the Supreme Court and the United
States Marshal, stating that the situa
ton had become very serious there.
The railroads were in the hands of the
