under martial law. It. is rumored

out.
Washington. Statemant tele-
graphed here from California that
strikers are about to apply to U. s.
Court to compel S. p. Railway Com
pany to show cause why they should
not be compelled tc operate their
roads under terms of their charter.
This was not disagreeable news to the
War Department and they hoped it
would be done as that would oblige
the railroad company TO supplement
efforts of the military by every means
in their power. There is a suspicion
that it has been lax in that respect.
President Cleveland this evening is
sued proclamation similar to that
relating to Chicago, referring to I'M
lawful distractions, combinations and
assemblsges in California, North Da-
Gotta, Montana, Idaho, Washington,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico, especially along lines rail-
roads or any military and post roads
engaged in interstate commerce and
carrying U. S. mail. For enforce
ment Of laws and preventing o5struc-
tons of mails and commerce, the
President has employed military for,
ces and commands all persons con-
nected with unlawful distractions or
assemblages to go to their homes be-
fore 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
This practically amounts to martial
law.
San Francisco, July 9-The 18th
day-of the strike closes without a
wheel turning in California at Sacra-
mento, Oakland or San Jose. At
this point the situation is unchanged.
The S. p. managers are helpless, and
appear to be making no effort to re-
sumo traffic. Great excitement has
been caused by the news that q. S.
marines from Mare Island and regu-
lar troops have been ordered to Oak
land to begin the fight, S. p. man
ayers have been waiting for the Gov
eminent to make the leaders of the
strikers in Oakland say there will be
no organized resistance of troops; but
they openly declare that the strikers
have resolved to conduct a guerrilla
warfare, and everyone knows what
this means. Gov, Markham has
been wired of the appalling danger,
and is hurrying from Los Angeles to
tho State Capitol. The fact that the
authorities have decided to begin
against strikers at Oakland and not
Sacramento where strikers have al
ready been angered and provoked to
point of arming themselves with
rifles, is significant. In Southern
California the railroad mon appear to
have broken the blockade. Los An.
geles strikers are apparently losing
ground rapidly at that point. The
Santa Fe road dispatched another
overland train this morning, and
nearly all the SAINT, Fe local trains
arrived and dep-.i 4 Oh sci. oule
time. The S z. 80. Is also running
many of its local passenger trains,
and has made up a freight train FOR
the East, and one for Santa Ban bara.
Bota trains will be dispatched to-
morning. A large number
of deputies armed with rifles were or
dered to report to guard the passage
of the train to San Francisco. The
crowds at the depot are gradually
growing smaller.
San Francisco, July g. Everything
quiet tonight at Oakland, Sacrament
to, Los Angeles, San Jose and Chi
cago. The Marines have not yet
started for Oakland.
Chicago, July 9-Nearly a thous-
and military arrived here today from
second, third and fourth regiment of
infantry. Soon after the Z. S. troops
left for Chicago.
The Presidents proclamation
against assembling crowds and advis-
ing citizens to absent themselves
fro.4, nohs or other gatherings caused
much renew !! excitement today In
Pullman.
