Ever.

Tie-Up Unbroken.


in progress at Sacramento and the three
regiments of the state militia under
orders to proceed to that point; with six
companies of United States infantry en-
route to Los Angeles, another center OF
disturbance, and with horde OF strik-
ers in Oakland ripe for rictous action.
the whole people OF California are in the
midst of a great excitement. Such
events az the railroad strike hiss devel-
oped have heretofore been unknown in
California.
THE TlE-UP REMAINS INTACT.
Tonight the tie-up on the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe railways is as COM
rlete as it has been at any time for the
five days since the blockade was insti-
tuted, and owing to the disturbances
that have arisen, the situation is graver
than it has been at any time heretofore.
Out of Oakland and San Francisco q few
suburban and country trains are run
ming. In this city force of 100 police.
men and half as many dep.
uty eheriffs prevent trouble in
the railroad yards. At Oakland. not
withstanding q strong police patrol, the
strikers became riotons and seized two
trains. They sleo took possession OF the
station and railroad yards at Sixteenth
street. efectually blocking for time all
railroad bueiness in and out OF this city.
One conductor who attempted to run his
train past Sixteenth street was severely
beaten. The police were unable to cope
with the rioters. More serious trouble
is feared there.
OFFICIALS DISCOURAGED.
The officials OF the railroad are dis
couraged over the fact that their posi-
ton is now no better than it was when
o"~ sUriKo wau urSL uUciareu. Iney are
running local trsns on both lines to
Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley, and
today the half-hourly service ON the
ferries was resumed, but beyond these
and trains on the Nspa, Santa Rosa,
Davisville and Stockton lines, not a
wheel revolved. No attempt was made
to send out Pullman; no thought was
given to the overlands. The company lie
doing nothing that the strikers were not
willing to permit in the beginning. The
Pulmans, n couple of hundred of them,
are just where the strikers asked that
they be kept nearly week ago.
ANOTHER INJUNCTION.
Judge McKenna has granted an in
junction restraining President Debs and
other members of the American Railway
union from interfering with the trans-
mission of the mails and from hindering
Interstate commerCe.
MILITIA ORDERED TO SACRAMENTO.
Orders have been issued to the First
regiment of the National guard of Cali
fornia to prepare to 60 to Sacramento.
Preparations have been made to trans-
port the regiment by rail. About 800
men are expected to report for duty.
THE MILITARY TRAIN.
When six companies OF United States
infantry were called into action and or
dered to Los Angeles it was believed the
strikers would offer no resistance to their
passage. This afternoon, however. the
train bearing these troops was stalled ct
Bakersfield, this side of the Mojave des-
ert. When the train arrived at Bakers
field at IL 20 p. m. the engineer desert
ed, leaving his train on the main track.
