DENVER, July General Manager
Dickinson, of the Union Pacific, after
learning that the employees in the Denver
shops, the majority of whom are
knights of Labor, had decided to re-
main neutral during the strike, rescind-
ed his order closing the shops. The men
will work on half time. Fifty deputy
marshals were on duty in the railroad
yards in this city today. The strikers did
not in any manner attempt 10 interfere
with the operation of trains. Passenger
trains were made up by officials of the
roads and sent out as usual. No freight
trains were run.
The Sante F'e is in much better shape
than ii was last week. All its regular
east-bound passenger trains were sent
out today according to schedule and sew

Pueblo this afternoon, the first since
Saturday, and two others pulled out
shortly afterward The railroad officials
believe that the strike at Pueblo is
broken.
The strike of Union Pacific switchmen
has interfered seriously with the srnelt-
ers, and it may become necessary for
them to shut down owing to lack OF
fuel, throwing a number of men out of
employment. The Burlington road has
experienced no trouble here as yet.

KANSAS CITY, July 2.-The tie-up is
now effective. on the Santa Fe, Rock
Island and the Alton. The last two
named roads have practically suspended
operations. The local superintendent Of
that road has received instructions from
headquarters to abandon all trains until
further advice. The Chicago & Alton has
not tried to run train since yesterday.
The passenger train that that road sent
east yesterday is tied. up with several
other trains at Slater. Mo. The Santa
Fe officials made up their own passenger
trains today and are now engaged in max
ing up two freight trains which they will
try to start west. All the union firemen
of these divisions of the Santa Fe are
out. Twelve of the sixty engineers on
this divisioa have also quit The other
roads are not affected here yet, but the
railroad supeTintendents expect they will
be before tomorrow night. The switch
men did not generally obey the strike or

total number employed on all roads have
quit work and the others have been hold

Violence Used by Strikers in the

Violence Used by Strikers in the
Presence of the Troops.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 2-Trouble
broke out on the Wabash road here to-
day, the first instance being when the
cannon-ball train from Quincy was side
tracked. This was followed up by the
regular mail train from Quincy to La
fayette being side-tracked. Three COM
panies Of militia, Company / of Jackson
Vile Company l. of Petersburg and Com
pany G from this city, We're on a train
and We're held here for five hours. They
were en- route for Decatur. The en-
gineers said they would handle all mail
trains, but would not haul a single mill
tiaman.
3. G. Winston of St Louis is here and
said it took the officials of the road there
four hours to get out a car load of sup
plies for the troops that had been switch
ed in between forty freight cars by the
switchmen before they came out on the
strike. Pins were pulled and air-hose
cut and all things done to handicap them
in their work. The engineer of the regu-
lar train was pulled off his cab by
strikers, over the heads of the soldiers,
who offered no resistance or aid to him.
Col. Culver and three officers got on the
engine of the soldier train and started
it for Decatur. 1t got stuck two miles
out for want of water, but was finally
gotten out and on its way TO Decatur.
The cannon-ball and one other mail
train are still here
The strikers say they will not inter-
fere with mail trains, but all others will
not be allowed to move. The federal
authorities will be asked for assistance
If the mail trains are not started.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-Maj.-Gen
Nelson A Miles. commander Of the de
partment of the Missouri with head
quarters at Chicago, was in the city 10
night, and his arrival resulted in an ex
tended conference at the white hous'
between the president. Secretary
Gresham, Secretary Lamont, Maj.-Gen
Schofield, Attorney-Gen. Olney and Maj
Gen. Miles and his aide. Gen. Miles has
been on leave for the last two weeks
but has been recalled owing to the dis
turbances at and near Chicago and be-
fore returning to his post was summoned
here in order that the situation might
be discussed and plans for possible con-
tingencies made more freely than would
be possible by wire or rail.
Immediately on reaching this city this
evening Gen. Miles called on Secretary
Lamont and the two repaired at once "a
the white house. Gen. Schofeld was sent
for and Attorney-GeneraI Olney, who had
been at the department Of justice during
the evening awaiting news from the West
soon Joined them. Secretary Gresham
also arrived a few minutes later Tbs
conference continued until nearly mid.
night and at its close the officials we1
very reticent in regard to its result
1t was learned, however. that the stu,
alton had been reviewed in detail and the
general policy of the administration as
outlined in early dispatches We're reiter-
ated. The views expressed were to the
effect that. while the strike was likely
to fail Of its own weight and from lack
Of thorough organization, yet it was nee,
essary for all authorities TO be on ths
alert and to check at the outset any
overt and lawless act.
1t was held that the law was amply
sufficient to authorize federal interven-
ton whenever conspiracy was shown, as
we'll as when mails were interfered with
or the interstate commerce act infringed-
No specific directions were given To
Gen. Miles, whose long service and bril-
liant record entities him to the utmost

Both the attorney-general and secre<
tary Of war We're anXiously looking for
news from the scene Of troubles tonight,
but so far as could be learned no dis
patches We're received. The officials ex;
pressed themselves as relieved and en
couraged by the fact that it had not beer
necessary 10 order out more troops to-
night.

At DauNiIIe.

DANVILLE, H., July 2.-The situa-
ton here is much the same as yesterday.
Governor Altgeld telegraphed Sheriff
Newton this morning for information.
The sheriff replied that if he were sent
100 stands OF arms he could handle the
situation. Altgeld answered he had no
arms at his disposal but would send the
Seventh regiment Immediately, that it
would leave Decatur at 10 a. m. and az
rive here about u. Up to 1880 p. m.
the troops had not arrived. The Wa
bash is tied up from here to st. Louis.
Strikers are quiet, but determined TO
win. There are seven passenger trains
tied up in the c. q +. ]. yards. 1t Is
probable that trouble will ensue if an
attempt is made TO move them by aid
of troops. Train No. 5 arrived at 11:45
last night. The fireman told the strikers
committee that he was a scab by profess
sion and had had fifteen years expert
ence as a scab.

Situation at Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 2.-Trains are
still runnig in the Twin Cities although
there are some bad delays or the Chicago
& Great Western and the Northern Pa
cific. No road, however, is completely
tied up. The strikers spent the day in
fortifying their position and this morn
ing succeeded in getting the firemen on
the Milwaukee to go out. The flour mill
situation was still further complicated
by calling out the men on the Minneapolis
& Eastern railway transfer, a road on
which many of the mills are dependent
Few of the mills are now running. The
freight tie-up is much lighter than the
passenger, but some of the roads have
their arrangements so far perfected that
they expect to start their trains in
day or two. United States deputy
marshals have not been called to any
extent yet, nor are the roads making an
effort to hire any new men, indicating
their belief that the employees will not
stand by the A. r. u, or that the boy
colt will be of short duration.

pany is joined to join them. The ap-
pearance of troops was a great surprise
here. as there had been no act Of viO-
lence beyond an attempt of a striking
brakeman TO turn a stOpcock on an air
brake. The troops were ordered by Gov
ernor Altgeld. probably by COM
plant of the delayed passengers
here who asked for assistance
and from Sheriff Perl, who. in answer to
the governors inquiries. telegraphed
that he had been able to preserve order
up TO Sunday night, but feared he could
not do 50 Monday without reinforce
ments. The railroad company has ap-
parenty made no effort 10 do more than
move "A passenger train or two. Since
last night they have got one train to St.
Louis and one to Springfield. All other
trains that have come have stopped here.
All Wabash men here have joined the
strikers, 50 that the company has no one
who is willing to work. Nandalia yard
men here were ordered out late last night
on instructions from Chicago.
