march out with his men at moment S
notice. The ammunition, bedding, tents

stationed back of the armory ready to con-
vey them to any given point should the

WASHINGTON. July "A dispatch was
to-day sent from the Department of Justice
to the United States Attorney at Chicago
ordering him to call the Grand Jury to-
gether at once. 1t is surmised that the
Attorney-General intends to secure the iu-
dictment and punishment of Debs and the
other prominent strike leaders for viola
ton OF the antitrust act of July. 1890, COM
mitted prior to the issuance of the Omni-
bus injunction by Judges Grosscup and
Woods.
There was an easier feeling about the
executive departments to-day and less ap-
prehension of violence and turbulence on
account OF railraad strikes. Alto rney-
General Olney received telegram from
Omaha that the United States Marshal
was unable to serve the processes OF the
courts without assistance. The Attorney
General in nstrurted him to swear in drpu-
ties. Joseph Call of Los Angeles. CAL,
was appointed assistant attorney for the
prosecution of persons arrested during the
strike.
It is the general understanding when the
Senate meets on Friday there will be only
a brief session and that the Senate will
then adjourn until Monday. 1t is quite
probable there will not De a quorum in
the Senate again this week. A resolution
of Senator Kyle. introduced at the request
of the striking railway men, is regarded
as sure to cause debate, and Senators who
expect to speak ON it understand that it
will 90 over until Monday, The resolu-
tion will cause some very tart debate.

wholesome respect. Trains are once more
moving at Blue Island, the turbulent ele.
ment having suddenly simmered down
when confronted by pieces of ordnance
and glttering bayonets. After the troops

PROTECTION FOR PULLMAN.
The Mayor of Chicago Did Not
Think IL Necessary.

CHICAGO. July 4.-General Manager
Wcks of the Pullman Company called
on Mayor Hopkins last evening and was
closeted with him for an hour. He asked
the Mayor for more police protection for
the town of Pullman during the Fourth of
July celebration. He feared that there
would be an outbreak on the part of the
strikers and thai some of Pulman's pro p
erty would be destroyed. The Mayor told
his caller that he believed the town had
ample protection by the force and that the
force to-day would be the same as usual
He assured Mr.. Wicks that the law would
be enforced and that order would be pre-
served.
The company of United States troops
assigned at the stockyards were encamped
at Dexter Park to-day, and the strikers
stood around listlessly. with no apparent
intention to create disturbance. Fifteen
cars of beef were started East. no resist

The Strike Is Beginning to Pinch
the Men Who Work.

ST. LOUIS, July 4.-Up 10 this time there
have been no acts of violence. but of this
the exclamation may be in the activity oi
the railway managers. Now new men are
being hired. They represent every branch
of the railroad service, and many of the
railroads claim they are competent and
thoroughly experienced. Tomorrow the
several roads will endeavor to fill the
places of the strikers with these men. and
it is their intention to resume sending out
their freight trains. If they meet with
distractions they will apply to the United
States courts for an injunction, ana if a
restraining order from the court does not
prevent interference they will call on the
President for Federal troops.

The strike has diverted business to the
steamboats,, and the river men expect thai
a good deal of freight will be taken out by
way of the river If the trouble lasts any
length of time. More local freight is being
handled by the boats than for several
years. The scarcity of coal is. however,
being felt. as the supply along the river
has almost been exhausted. The ST. Louis

TROUBLE AT NIGHT.
Two Engines Killed Under the
Noses of Seventy-Five Deputies.

WEST OAKLAND. July AT 10 o'clock
matters assumed an alarming aspect on
the mole. About seventy five of the
strikers moved down in that direc-
ton, the general idea OF their purpose
being that they intended "killing" the
| two switch engines known to be in the
depot. There was a large crown of strag-
glers and as the combined crowd came
down on the mole it must have looked for
trouble to the deputies. who began falling
back step by step as the oncoming forces
neared.
In the first instance the deputies were
stationed across the IN ole at point where
the wagon road crosses the tracks. When
the strikers had reached that point the
deputies, some seyenty-fve in number,
had retreated until they were just outside
of the sheds. There they stood. not very
determinedly. however, behind them being

son aud a number of lesser lights in the
Southern Pacific Railroad world. In front
of them some distance with fires up and
steam putting were the engines, 1923 and
1927, coveted by the strikers. The en-
gineers were also aboard, George Jeferis
being one OF them. When the strikers
reached the road crossings, the engineers
considered that it was time for them to
move. Jefferis, who has a lingering sus-
pcion that the strikers do not like him.
was the first one to get out. He hastily
dismounted from his cab and sped like a
deer Soon he was behind the line of
guards hid from view. The action of JEFF
ferris evidently inspired the other engineer
with dislike for the situation, and he,
too, dropped from his cab and made good
his escape around the towers.
The strikers split up in three divisions,
one going for one engine, the other for the
second engine, while the third proceeded
onward to the deputies. The crowd that
struck engine 1923 made short work of it.
She was blown off with a rush, and the
fire speedily drawn, the deputies standing

The strikers then lined up in front of the
deputies. and many of them were there
until after midnight. They were almost
rubbing noses, but no hostile advances
were made on either side.
