AN OBJECT LESSON.

depend for their perpetuity upon the
freedom and prosperity of the
common people, it would seem
more in consonance with the.
spirit of democratic government If
federal authority were eXercisedin de-
fense of the rights of the toiling masses
to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. On the contrary, there Is not
an instance on record where in any con.
fiict between the corporations and the
people, the strong arm of the military
power has been employed to protect the
working people and the
INDUSTRIAL MASSES
from the ravage and persecution of
corporate greed. But the measure of
character has been in the line Of de-
claring the corporations always good
and in the right, and the working peo.
pie always bad and in the wrong. Now.
sir. we pledge to you the power of our
respective organizations, individually
and collectively, for the maintenance
of peace and good order and the
preservation or life and prop
erty, and will aid in the arrest
ana punishment OF all violatorS of the
civil and criminal laws of state or ma
ton. In the present contest between
labor and railway corporations, we
shall use every peaceable and honorable
means at our command, consistent with
the law and our constitutional rights, to
secure for the working people just COM
pensation for labor done and respect
full consideration In accordance with
the inherent rights Of all men and the
spirit of republican government. In
doing so, we appeal to all the liberty
loving people of the nation to aid and
support US in this most just and
righteous cause.

Great Western Bridge at
South st. Paul Burned
at Midnight.

The first act of lawlessness and de-
struction In this region in connection n
with the present strike occurred last
night. 1t was directed against the
Great Western railroad, which has, by
strenuous efforts, managed to reestab-
lish its train service.
About midnight the wooden trestIe
just this side of South Park was found
ablaze. The watchman noticed from
twelve to fifteen men run away from
the burning structure, enter a boat and
row rapidly across the Mississippi river
towards the east bank. The destruc-
tion of this trestle stops traffic for the
time belng, and makes the motor line
service mon est" until new bridge
can be put In place.

HOUSE EXCITED
When the Tariff Bill Was Put I'm
Conference.

i, w WASHINGTON, July THE intense
interest and wild excitement which
marked the passage of the Wilson bill
by the house some months ago, and
which was then transferred in modi-
fed and more dignifed form to the sen.
ate, broke out again in the house TODAY
when the tariff bill was put in confer
ence after some lively debate in the
house, the amendments being disagreed
to in gross and without opportunity for
separate votes on special schedules. Mr..
Reed took occasion to twit the Demo-
Gratis for following the precedent set by
the Republicans iu the Fifty-first con-
gress, proceeding which they had yio-
lently denounced at the time.
Mr. Wilson then urged on the house
the necessity OF standing steadfastly by
the two cardinal principles of the house
bill-free raw material and the ad va
lorem system of taxation-and of thus
keeping faith with the people who had
sent them to congress to effect this re-
form. He was answered by Mr.. Reed.
MIR. Payne aud others. and then, after
the adoption of Mr.. Wilson's motion.
and the appointment of conferees, the
house, at 1:55 O'Clock, adjourned ont of
respect to the memory of Represe enta-
tive Lisle, of Kentucky.

LOCAL SITUATION IMPROVED.
The Union Depot View OF the
Strike Last Night.

The Union Depot View OF the
Strike Last Night.
Passenger travel from the union
depot seemed materially improved LAST
night. Besides there was considerable
showing OF activity about the yards
Switching crews were busily engaged
in the work Of keeping the tracks OPEN
and the outgoing trains experienced
fewer difficulties in getting out of thd
depo
There was noticeable lack of raiIs
road employees about the yards and ap.
proaches to the depot. All through the
busy hours, from 6 to O'clock, but a
single man. with white ribbon at
tached to his coat, stood at the foot OF
Sibley street. His face was a study as
he watched the passing trains come and
go. indicating that there were regrets
that lie was not at his usual post Of
duty.
The various officials of the different
lines were present. but remalued only a
short time, as there was nothing in the
surroundings which indicated that their
presence would be needed. /
Among other matters which arrested
the attention of all who have been reg
ular visitors to the union depot for the /
past week or more, since the strike
became effective In this city, was
Switch Engine No. 297, of the Northern
Pacific. which was fully manned by a
crew and doing duty about the yards. 1t
was the first which has been in service
since that line has been tied up.
The embargo on the freight service
is keeping the express lines rather busv
these days. On all outgoing trains
heavy truck loads of merchandise were
sent out last night, as has been the case
for several days past. Even large bar
rels OF sugar, groceries of all descrip.
tions. and hundreds of bales Of binding
twine were loaded into the express cars
last evening. The people are bound to
nave the goods, although the present
mode OF transportation materially ins
creaSes the cost of all commodities.
The Great Northern overland train
was picture as 1t pulled out last even.'
ing. Since the blockade on the North.
ern Pacific all coastwise mail has been
transferred to the former line, and so
heavy was the accumulation OF mail
matter that it became necessary to
attach three regular mail cars on the
train last evening. Two mogul engines
were attached to pull the train, and it'
resembled huge serpent as 1t moved
out OF the yards with its fifteen coaches. J
Summed up, the situation locally was
very much improved, and railroad
officials who were present all expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the
progress that has been made.

cred. Such new orders as are sent out
go by the special wire.
1t was after IL o'clock before the
conference began to break up. Attorney
General Olney was the first TO leave,
and he was shortly followed by Post
master General Bissell and Secretary
Gresham. The situation evidently had
been carefully canvassed. and the
maps and the records Of the strength
at various army posts consulted
could be safest drawn from 10to to
reinforce the troops already at
Chicago. In view of the serious state
of affairs 1t was decided to send more
soldiers to the storm center of trouble
and orders were issued by which it is
calculated almost a thousand more
soldiers will be added to the federal
army now In, Chicago. The conclusion
reached by the conference was EN-.
bodied IN the following statement given
out by Secretary Lamont at 80 a. m.
Gen. Miles has been authorized to
order to Fort Sheridan. near Chicago,
three batteries of artillery, under Mai.
Randolph, from Fort Riley, Kan. and
tour troops of cavalry from the same
point. Gen. Brooks has also been di-
rected to send there four troops of
cavalry from his com land, and the
Ninth regiment OF Infantry, stationed
al SackettS Harbor, n. Y, has received
like orders. This concentration Of troops
is for the purpose of having troops
where they will be available if required
to protect government properly and to
enforce the order of the federal courts"
1t was after O'Clock when Gen. Scho-
held came down stairs. His face wore
the good-natured, confident expression
mi ri, "a
spoke the determination which is ap-
parent in the orders he issued was
marked.
"H0w many troops will be sent to Chi
cago." he was asked.
AS many as necessary" said the
general.
The Debs-Sovereign dispatch to the
president, which had not been received
at the White house up to this time, was
read to the gederal by the Associated
Prefs reporter as he stood leady to
enter his carriage. He listened to it
win close attention, but declined to
comment upon it.
AT ! 80 the dispatch had not been re
celved by the president, and no re-
sponse to it will be sent out tonight.
NO report was received from Gen.
Miles tonight regarding the situation.
WhlcnlS taken TO Indicate that there was
no change calling for immediate federal
action.
Another conference will be held to-
morrow at 10 o'clock, and from now
until the conclusion of the difficulties
almost constant vigilance will be main
tained here. A report was in circula-
tlon mere tonight that the object of
tWo-day trip Secretary Herbert made,
anu from which lie returned today, was
to see Mr.. Pullman with a view to
bringing about an end of the strike, out
Secretary Herbert when seen would
neither deny nor confirm any reports as
to the object of the trip.

A GENERAL RESUME
OF What Is Being Done on the
Various Roads.

Various Roads.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Conley, of the Milwaukee, reported that
some freight is being moved into both
cities. and is moving now both ways on
the river division. Our chief aim,"
said he, "haS been to keep up our pas
senger service, and we have done it."
The Chicago yards of this company,
being situated on the West side. were
far removed from the riotouS scenes OF
Friday night, aud so it lost no cars in
the general conflagration.
The Minnes polls 81 St. Louis sent one
freight each way yesterday on the Pa
citic division. between Morton and Min
neapolis. All passenger trains are run
ming on time. Several new firemen
were hired yesterday to replace strikers.
The company is making no effort TO run
freights between st. Paul and Miuneap-
oils.
The Northern Pacific people reported
no change yesterday over conditions
prevailing for several days past.
General Manager KendricE said that all
trains are freely moving on the Pacific
division between Seattle and Portland.
The company had two new switching
crews at work - Tacoma yesterday. In
few days il hop ) 10 entirely break
the blockade.
As Genera! Nam '"r Plough was in
Minneapolis yes sterday he could not be
seen regarding the way matters are
shaping themselves III the 81. Pan -
Duluth. From anv.uer official II was
ascertained that the passenger service
still continues unimpdired. New men
are rapidly replacing the strikers, and
freight is being moved as well as exist
ing conditions will permit. None of the
old hands have weakened.
The Burlington people still maintain
their regular passenger service, and are
moving all freights that terminal lines
are able to receive.
A freight train with twenty-five cars
came in yesterday forenoon from Chi
cage over the Wise onsin Central. Itk
moving limited amount of freight
over its entire system. All through the
present strike it claims to have main
tanned freight service between ST. Pau
and Chippewa Falls. 1t glories i'm thS

asked from the authorities, and Com.
pany g, of the Second infantry, thirty
eight strong. commanded by Capt. T. I.

militia was reinforced by number of
deputies, and the mob was pressed back
from the roundhouse.
THE MOB GATHERED
again at Fiftieth street and began to
turn over freighs cars and tear up the
tracks. A squad of police under Lieut..
Duffy attacked the mob, and several
shots were fired on both sides, but no.
body was injured. The mob then went
back once more to Forty-ninth street.
and while portion of the crowd, which
by this time was fully 5000 strong, oc-
cupied the militia and the deputies.
others ran a freight car into the
pit of a turntable and made the
machine useless. Supt. Atwater
and Yardmaster Mckee, of the
Grand Trunk, with a gang of men
set to work to remove the obstruction.
while the mob, which had now grown to
be very ugly, stood around bowling and
hooting, and occasionally letting fly a
stone at the soldiers. This condition of
affairs prevailed for two or three hours,
the militia behaving with excellent
spirit and showing good Gdiscipline.
Finally the mob, encouraged by the fact
that the troops did not fire, began active
hostilities. A crowd of men pushed
freight car from siding
onto the track where the train
which had brought the militia to the
scene was standing. with the evident
intention of blocking the track so that
the militia would have no line of re-
treat. Capt. Mair conferred with Supt.
Atwater, and concluded that it was i'm
practicable to clear the track, and that,

CHICAGO, July THE strikers and
he state of Illinois came together this
l&ernoon, and pitched battle was the
result. The number of killed and
wounded will never be known, as the

we're seen to fall, and whether they
we're dead or wounded, or how many

The fight occurred at the intersection

Begin to Move.

Begin to Move.
General Manager Stickney, of the
Chicago Great Western, conveyed the
hopeful assurance yesterday that mat
terS were much improved with his com-
pany, both in st. Paul and at Minneap-
oils, over conditions prevailing Friday.
This is encouragingly so with freights.
He said he had not been advised that
his company had lost any cars in the
fires started at Chicago by the riotous
strikers. On Friday two new freight
handlers were engaged for the freight
house on the West side. but they failed
to materiallze yesterday morning.
Others were Immediately engaged.
Passenger traffic still continues unim-
paired. The company is daily swearing
in its own employees as special police.
A freight went out at 1910 a. IN. for
Chicago, and two more will arrive from
there this morning. The Improvement
in the service shows an hourly gain.
The better class of employees who were
out have already notified the company
that they desire TO return 10 work, aud
Will do so just as soon as means can be
found TO hold back the rougher elements
IN this direction. The company is
making efforts in this direction. One
official said: with us the strike is
practically over; we are simply recovs
ering from the effects of it?'
