THE Cooper room was pretty well
filled Saturday afternoon with farmers
and Others interested in agriculture, to
hear the address of John G Higgins,
Esq, of Delaware City, to the Patrons
of Hnsbandry. His remarks were ad-
dressed largely to the Grangers-the
benefit in belonging to such an organi-
zatiOn, but he did refer to the present
Interests of agriculture in which he
spoke discouragingly of seeding large
acFeRges of wheat at the present prices.
He thought that COWS could be made a
much better source OF profit, and ad-
vised the farmers to give their best
thoughts to developing their business.

the situation. The substance of the dis
patch was that the miners have so in
Inundated all classes of the people with
threats of what will happen after the
troops are removed that every obstacle
is placed in the pathway of the soldiers
and all classes act in a hostile manner
Mayor jackson. who is evidently ter
rorized, ordered the soldiers out OF
town, but they refused to obey. The
telegraph operator was frightened away
and one of the soldiers is at the key.
The storekeepers have been made to
refuse to sell supplies to the troops and
the latter have, in consequence, taken
possession of the company store, sol
diers acting as custodians in place OF the
terrorized clerks. So far has this reign
of anarchy extended that the woman
upon whose property the well from
which the troops draw water is stu
ated, begged piteously for the officers to
secure water elsewhere, as the anarch-
lists had threatened to burn her house to
the ground.
There are 1870 soldiers and rs well
armed deputies upon the ground, a
force sufficient to prevent the anarchists
obstructing trains and to hold their own
in case of an attack, but the officers
consider it good policy for the state to
increase the force in order that show
ing may be made that will wholly COW
the turbulent Hungarians and Lithua-
mans.

DEBS OUT ON BAIL.
He and His Lieutenants Indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury.

Federal Grand Jury.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE federal grand
jury, after receiving the instructions of
United States Judge Grosscup returned
indictments against Eugene V. Debs,
president of the American Railway
union; George w. Howard, its vice
president; Sylvester Keleher, secretary,
and L. W. Rogers, one of its directors,
and shortly thereafter the four men
were arrested. They are charged with
conspiracy to commit an unlawful act,
that is, to block the progress of the
United States mail. Joined in the in
dictment with the four leaders of the
railway union was James Martin, the
Rock Island striker who threw the
switch which derailed a mail train at
Blue Island on the night of June 80.
Debs, Howard, Keleher and Rogers
were taken into the Office of District At
torney Milchrist immediately after their
arrest and after few hours detention
were released on bail by Judge Gross
cup, their bonds being $4,000 each.
The federal grand jury spent but
short time on the case of Debs and the
other leaders of the strike. The case
was based on some of the public utter
ances of Debs and the other leaders, and
this was clinched by the original orders
in writing sent out by Debs directing
men on the different railways to quit
their work, and this stopped the running
of mail trains. A large number of tele-
grams sent by Debs from his headquar-
tiers, giving directions which extended
the blockade Of the trains were sub
mitted.

CHICAGO, July lie. NJ milford,
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, was called before the
federal grand jury to produce kilograms
sent by President Debs. He refused on
the ground that they were privileged
communications He was notified by
Judge Grosscup to appear with the tele-
grams. He again objected and referred
the matter to the general attorney of
the company. The matter was taken
under long consideration and the at
torney sought on every legal provision
at his command to avoid the process on
the same point made by Manager Null
ford-that the communications were
privileged and in the custody Of the
company as such. Judge Grosscups
notice was imperative, however, with
the word that unless the kilograms were
produced Manager milford would be
sent to Jail. Evasion being impossible
the kilograms were produced III court.
The Western Union manager at Fl.
Madison, la, was thrown into jail at

grams In court received by A. r. U.

Reach Sacramento.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE ferry
steamer Alameda, bearing United States
troops, has left Preside wharf. The
steamer headed for Sacramento riv er
and there is no doubt the destination of
the troops is Sacramento. The state
ment that martial law has been pro
claimed caused the widest excitement
at Sacramento The strikers are quiet
ly arming themselves and are prepared
to resist any effort to dispense them. A
prominent striker informed your repre-
sentative that if any attempt was made
to bring in regulars blood would surely
follow. Guards have been stationed
along the river bank to warn the strikers
of the approach of the steamer carrying
the regulars. There is no doubt but
that when the regulars reach here a
bloody conflict is inevitable. AS near as
can be ascertained the strikers are in
possession of about l 400 rifles and are
prepared for long siege.
