FIRST SERIOUS CLASH.
Deputy Marshals and Strikers
Come Together at Blue

Their Cars.

at Once.
REGULARS SENT TO THE SCENE

CHI 7AGo, July 3.-The days develop
ments IN the great A. r. U. strike have
been prolific in sensationalism, the
principal theater of action being in Chi
cago and adjacent suburbs. The first
serious clash occurred when 200 deputy
United States marshals were SURF ounded
at Blue Island by 1900 strikers, who
openly detied federal authority. Weap-
ons were drawn by both sides and Dep
uty Marshal John A. Logan was pain.
iully cut with a knife, but when a
bloody conflict seemed imminent the
deputies retired to their barrack cars to
await achievements, leaving the
strikers masters of the situation.
In the evening an injunction from
the United States court was read and
tulletined. The authority of the
United States was openly ridiculed,
and, after few minutes quietness, the
Riotous Spirit of the Strikers
reasserted itself. At midnight reports
OF further disorder were current, ii
being stated that the strikers were tear.
ing down the bulletined mandate of the
court.
Fearing to precipitate bloodshed the
Rock Island company decided after its
$3.50 express had been gotten through
not to make any further efforts to move
trains. The strikers have now locked
horns with the state and federal
chatting under the continued embargo
on their business, while the desperate
determination of their late employees
neither to work themselves or to allow
others to fill their places is evidenced
by the flood of reports of individual
conflicts here and there coming from
all over the city. A number of
Trains Have Been Derailed
by misplaced switches. A Panhandle
passenger train was partially deraileG
at Kinzie and Canal streets but was
not seriously delayed. The strikers are
cars, and, in some instances, dropping
coupling pins into the cross head guides
of locomotives, causing the destruction
of cylinder heads. Tons of fruit, vege
tables, ice, meats and other perisha blt
goods stand in the cars, under a broil
ing sun, no one caring or daring tC
move it to its destination. Dumb ami
mails, crowded into stock Cars, suffer
thirst and hunger, and prices of vege.
tables and fruits are going up. 1t is
thought that no move likely to precipi-
tate hostilities will be made before day.
light.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
There is very little change in regard
to the local strike situation from yes
terday.
On the Omaha road the boycott has
become tighter, and now there is
neither freight or passenger service
on the Gilmore branch. This morn
ing's train from the south was stopped
by strikers at Sioux City, and did not
come through nor did this afternoons
train. One from the south is expect
ed at about o'clock tonight, and to-
morrow mornings train may go
through all right. The trains from
the north were on time. No freight
inns are moving.
On the Milwaukee road the boycott
on the main line from Austin west
ward, reported yesterday, has been
overcome, and trains are moving.
Freight is being received for all points
along the line.
Passenger trains are running on the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis road, but no
freight trains. The same is also true
on the main line.
There is no change in the condl-
tions on the Chicago & Northwestern
road to report.

The resolution in question seeks to
define a mail train, and declares that
the detaching of Pullman or other
parlor or sleeping cars from train
shall not constitute an offense against
the United States. In other words
it seeks to legalize any species of law
lessneSs which the strikers may see
fit to indulge in, in the way OF inter
fering with running of trains. This
is the Populist idea of the matter and
is most dangerous one. 1t would at
once give the striking employees the
control of property which does not be-
long to them, and would sanction
their interference with the rights
of the public, to any extent they are
pleased to go.
But Senator Kyle has only embodi-
ed in this resolution the same spirit
of lawlessness and disregard of pub
lie rights which has been exercised by
the Populists everywhere they have
secured control in public affairs in the
west, and which has done much to en-
courage the present state of affairs so
far as the rights of the public gen.
orally are concerned, and the cour-
ageous stand which Senator Davis has
taken should meet with the common
dation of all order loving people,
whether they are among the strikers
or not.
The opposing of acts of laWlessness
and the interfering with the running
of trains and the cutting off OF cars, is
not in any way opposing the right of
the men to strike if they see fit so to
do. That is right which cannot be
taken away from them, as has been
laid down by Judge Caldwell. In fact
the best friend the striker has is the
man who stands firm against all acts
of violence of whatever nature, and
in this respect Senator Davis is far
much better friend of the working
men than is Senator Kyle.

A SUGAR FAnlNE.

One effect Of the strike has been to
exhaust the supply of sugar in the
city. and regular famine will be on
in couple of days. L. Patterson &
co have sold all that they had in
stock, and the grocers are running
low, and some will be entirely out to-
night. The price has been advanced
by some dealers. There is enough of
other groceries in stock to withstand
short blockade. L. Patterson & Co.
expected four Car loads of sugar, and
had it arrived before the tie-up there
would have been plenty to last. They
have telegraphed Chicago and else
where, but can get none, while orders
are coming in from everywhere. 1t
may be week or more before any
sugar is secured. This is the time of
year when the housewife cans the
berry supply for the coming year, and
the demand for sugar is unusually
heavy. The natural sweetness of the
disposition of MankatO ladies will
have to compensate for the absence of
sugar.
The factories are suffering from the
strike, as the territory over which
goods can be shipped is very limited.
A man from Albert Lea who de-
sired to reach this city yesterday, had
to catch wild freight to st. Paul, and
come down from there.
Hon. J. f. Meagher has received a
letter from Mr.. p. III. Kelly, from St.
Paul, referring to the sight of Mr..
Spencer switching passenger trains,
while surrounded by 800 to 400 strikers.

SUDDEN DEATH OF J. d. HAW=
klNS.

Word was brought to the city today
of the sudden death of Mr.. j. d. Haw-
kins, of Mcpherson. Mr.. Hawkins
was enjoying his usual good health
yesterday, and conversed with his
neighbors upon various matters of in
terest. He MIXED the COWS as usual
last evening. During the night he
suffered severe stroke of paralysis,
and died very soon afterwards. A
doctor was summoned but could do
nothing to save Mr.. Hawkins life.
The deceased was well known
throughout the county, and was re-
preventative in the legislature for
one term. He was a candidate fo1
sheriff on the Republican ticket, but
was defeated. He was a pleasant
man to meet, intelligent and progress
siye, and had numerous friends, to
whom the news of his sudden death
will be a shock.
Mr.. Hawkins was 81 years of age,
and leaves wife and several children.
On August Goth, 1864, he enlisted in
Co. d, 18th MINI. nifty, and served
about a year. For disorders arising
from hardships endured during this
time he was drawing small pension.
He served in the 22nd legislature. in
1881.
From the niece of the deceased. Mrs.
Reed, who lives on Glenwood avenue,
we learn that he was engaged in milk
ing the COWS, and complained of
feeling faint. He rested for while
and was then helped to the house,
saying that he felt peculiar. A ply
stefan was summoned from St. Clair,
and he administered some medicines.
but from that time on he was uncon-
Scious, and soon died. The funeral
will occur tomorrow.

SOME NEW PHASES.

The reports of the strike this morn
ing indicate that the federal author
titles intend to take hand in the
trouble, not only on account of the in
reference with the mails, but also
because of the interference with in
ter-state commerce. OF course any
thing of this nature will not in any de-
gree interfere with the rights of the
men to strike if they so see fit, but
they must not interfere in any way
with the running of trains. This
movement will undoubtedly have an
important bearing upon the trouble,
and may have tendency to bring it
to an early settlement.
Another important feature in the
strike came to the surface yesterday
when Senator Davis was asked by the
Duluth A. r. U. to support Senator
Kyles mail train resolution. Mr..
Davis in reply showed himself equa
to the emergency, and said that he
could not support any resolution
which would legalize lawleSSnesS, an
pointed out wherein the same Obliga-
tion rests upon the men as well He
followed this up with some good adj
vice, upon which the strikers will do
well to ponder.

WHEN the Republicans were nego-
tiating reciprocity treaties with the
countries to the south of us, the
Democrats murmured because some
of the countries which we enjoy a
somewhat larger trade, or with which
our means of communication were
much better, were not Included.
Afterwards Germany and Austria
Hungary were added to the list, and
they then inquired why Canada was
not included. The other day while
the reciprocity features were being
discussed in the senate, Senator Gal
linger introduced an amendment to
the senate tariff bill opening the way
for reciprocity with Canada: and the
Democrats voted it down as matter
of course, showing that there is moth
ing to the many professions they
have made for extending our foreign
trade. Their course has been to give
everything and exact nothing in re-
turn. And where they have not given,
formulated such legislation at the die
tation of the trusts, as will cause
some foreign nations to adopt retail
tory measures toward us. Great is
Democratic reform.
