RAILROADS CRIPPLED.
Not Enough Competent Trainmen
on the Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1S.-The strik.
ers' view of the railroad situation in
Northern California was given today by
one of the strike leaders in Oakland.
Under ordinary circumstances, he
said, eighteen or twenty freight trains
are dispatched from Oakland daily.
During the past few days the railroad
company has sent out five freight trains.
If this is running the road then we are
beaten"
1t is apparently scarcity of compe-
tent trainmen that is troubling the
officials of the railroads. In Sacramento
almost the same condition prevails. One
hundred and fifty workmen were in
duced to 20 back to the railroad shops
there this morning. In Oakland forty
men were escorted to and from the
railroad shops by troop of cavalry.
The strikers made no attempt to in
terfere. Evidence was afforded today,
however, that the railroad company has
still to guard against violence. A track
walker this morning discovered that
the fish plates had been removed from
over a hundred yards of track. Strikers
were seen in this vicinity last
night. 1t is believed to have been
an attempt to wreck the San Francisco
local train which left Sacramento at
6 o'clock this morning. 1t Is also
reported that violence is feared at
Truckee where the strikers are in a
ugly mood. Col. Graham today dis
patched the First Infantry under CON-
of (N,Nl n
cooperate with other troops of the state
militia now at Truckee to preserve
order. The troops left Sacramento on
the East-bound overland.
The preliminary examination of Knox
and Worien, the strikers who are &C
cused of murder in having wrecked
train and caused the disaster at Sacra-
mento week ago, began at Woodland
this afternoon This afforded the strik-
ers an easy opportunity to cripple the
Southern Pacific. The strikers at
torneys summoned as witnesses two
sWitchmen who were the only men re-
naming in the Sacramento yards.
Their going out compelled the company
to abandon several trains cut OF Sacra-
mento.
United States Marshal Baldwin today
sent the following reply to the strike
leaders who offered yesterday to furnish
force OF $500 deputy marShals to pre-
serve order along the Southern Pacific
lines:
Sacramento, Cal, July 1S.-Messrs.
Terry, Douglass, Hall and Hurley, me-
diation committee OF strikers: Gentle
men, have the honor to acknowledge
your communication of yesterday. The
best service you can render yourselves
and your children is to refrain from uiI-
lawful acts. ana allow others the priv
ilege of living and enjoying their prop
erty without dictation, interference or
violence OH your part. When you re-
frain from committing these unlawful
acts there will be no occasion for the
presence of the military nor need of
your services or the services of others
as deputy marshals.

Elberon he found that MIR. Pullman had
started for New York. The secretary
followed him there, only to find that he
had gone further toward the Thousand
Islands. Secretary Ha yes then sum-
moned Brothers Mcguire and French to
meet him on the way, and again started
TO follow Pullman, but could not reach

subsequently Congressman McGann
was waited upon and extended his aid
in the matter. After he had seen Pres
ident Cleveland he notified the Knights
Of Labor that on telephone request of
Senator Kyle the president would re-
ceive them On Thursday afternoon.
"At the appointed hour, Secretary

and called on Vice President Wickes.
of the Pullman company. DR.. Thomas
has been striving to bring about peace
between the company and its employees
by getting the men to go back to work
again. 1t has been suggested that IL
Mr.. Wickes would consent TO meet a
grievance committee from strikers that
perhaps all difficulties could be spec Oily
patched up. While DR.. Thomas is in
sympathy with such a movement he
does not meet Mr.. Wickes to officially
announce it.
II came without authority" said he,
after he left MIR. Wickes' office, '.just to
call on the vice president. As one neigh
Dor would call on another. Mr.. Wickes
received me cordially, and we talked
over the situation at Pullman before l
left. There was no result from my
call"
During his stay at Pullman Dr. Thom-
rs said he was impressed with the ap-
parent good humor which prevails
among the strikers and the company's
superintendents He thinks that this is
an indication that settlement will be
reached sometime. He gives it as his
opinion that the men will all be at work
before many days.
President Wickes refused to be seen
after the conference with DR.. Thomas.
He sent out word by his private secre.

HOWARD's IDIOCY.
He Accuses TIL Sianagers of Fir.
ing the Cars


ing the Cars.
CHICAGO, July lS-At the county Jail
today Vice President Howard. of the
A. r. o., made the following remark
able statement: This thing is going
to he a test case. We don't consider
ourselves bigger than the law, and incl
dentally we think the railroads are not.
We are getting some evidence for the
coming legal battle, and we consider 1t
a pretty fair grade. Here is letter
we received telling of evidence that
most of the freight car burning done
in Chicago was done by two men in
the employ of the General Managers as
sociatiOn. One of the secret agents of
certain committee saw two men on the
night of the big fire going through the
yards with hand car loaded with in-
fiammable waste. which they lighted
and Systematically threw among the
cars. This agent overheard conversa-
tion between the men from which he
CLEANED that they were paid $500 down,
and were TO receive $500 more when the
job was done. This, understand, was
before the troops were called out. An
effort is now being made to arrest these
two men. We further have pretty pos
tive evidence that the big nan who LED
the mob of 5000 at Blue Island was q
PlnkertOn man employed by the rail-
roaGs. and it is significant that although
he could be easily identified. yet he has
not been arrested. 1t is safe to say that
this case will not be entirely one-slded."
At Uhlich's hail. the A. r. y. head
quarters, larger crowd was gathered
today than for several days past. The
arrest Of the leaders was discussed by
the excited groups that stood about the
committee rooms ana Railways. and the
action of the authorities was severely
criticised. Several of the local organ
