t}mpt was made by the regulars to drive
Them away from the depot. This after.
, noon committee from the guards
waited on the strikers and demanded
the return of the rifles. The strikers
etrenuously denied they were in possess
sion OF the weapons and positively re-
fused to allow the committee to search
their headquarters. Subsequently the
committee visited the district attorney
of this county and sought his advise as
to how they should proceed to regain
possession of the rifles. Acting upon his
advice, fhe captain of the guards will
tomorrow proceed against the strikers to
recover possession OF the weapons.
WILL RESIST THE TROOPS.
The citizens committee held meet
ing tonight and thoroughly discussed
the situation. Harry Knox, chairman
of the committee on mediation, was
present and promised that the strikers
would not attempt to injure the railroad
company's property. He further de-
clared that the men were not anxious to
shed blood, but would resiat any at
tempt of the regular troops to drive
them from the depot.
THE FEDERATED TRADES.
The federated trades held meeting
tonight and decided not to walk out in
case they were ordered to do go by Pres-
ident Debs. They claim such course
would be unwise as the members of the
trades unions are ready to contribute to
the support of the strikers, but would
be financially crippled if they were
ordered out. For this reason they con-
cluded not to obey any order to quit
work pending settlement of the strike.
The court martial which has been 60
ing on for several days was concluded to-
night. The result will not be known
until tomorrow. but it ia. knaWn that the

THE PAY CAR.
SAN FRAMcrsco, July 9.-N. 7. Smith,
treasurer of the Southern Pacific com.
pany, today said:
"The pay car will be sent out from
this city just as soon as the trains are
able to move. Last month we started
in to pay off. and, as is our custom. PAID
first ON the Oregon division. Alter that
the pay Car went over che narrow gauge
road and the coast division. By the
time the car got back here the strike
was on and we found it impossible to
transmit the money east and south.
Our employees are paid from the re-
ceipts OF the business, and now that the
receipts ere interrupted, and as we can
not reach our employees to pay them,
il ia not our fault if they don't get their
money. The moment business is re-
su,ned the men ghall DO paid, even il l
have to strain a point to do it. The
clesks in the general offices will not be
maid until the pay car starts to settle
with the other employees on the road.
This is in accordance with our rule that
no onv shall have preference because he
works in any of the general ottices.
"rhs money ior May is due and will
he paid as soon ae possible. The wages
for June are not yet due under our
rules"
