 'fThe triumph of this railroad strike would be the triumph of anRrehy,' said Grand Master Wilkinson of the Brother hood of Trainmen today. ''The time has arrived when things must be called by II cir right names without any foolish deli C.. Ii is foregone conclusion, though, that the movement must fail. This is my conviction. Any other termination would be a concession that the government can not control the nation and that the law less element can have the upper hand.
 "The termination of this strike will demonstrate the falacy and inefficiency of sympathetic strikes. They are wrong, mis- conceived and cannot win. Our nnion has ordered no strike and the member who joins the ssympathy demonstration violate his oath. His action is but that of an in- 0ividual.
 'tIf l owned a railroad and if an en- gineer should refuse to work with a non- union fireman put on in the place of such an individual, l would not let such au en- gineer ever work on my road. Should an engineer refuse to work with non-union fireman when the fremen have been or dered out by their union for a grievance, that is an entirely different matter.
 ''Instead of being a struggle for the supremacy of organized labor this strike is terrible blow at workingmen's unions. Unions have made some of these men in this movement, and before 1 would aim the dastardly blow they are aiming at the life of the unions l would be hung on q rock and torn limb from limb.
 Twenty-Five cars loaded with coal and meat were brought into the city today over the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne railroad. The engine and the roofs of the cars were manned by United States troops.
 The progress of the train, which was the first moved by the Fort Wayne in nearly week, was slow and difficult. Mobs were assembled at every crossing, and when the crossings were reached ihe train stopped, the troops tum bed down to the ground and With their tayonets forced the people to get off the tracks. The mobs were surly, but made no resistance.
 An afternoon paper prints the following:
 Competent authority estimates the prop erty loss in tbis city by fire and was te dur ing the last ten days at $2 000, GOO, loss traceable directly to the strike. But that vast amount is insignificant in comparison to the loss due 10 a sacrifice of wages and paralysis of business. The railroad tie- up has thrown not less than 200, coo railroad employees out of work, and now it is an- nounced, as the result of careful can vass, that many industrial establishments in Chicago and its envlrons, employing 200 GOO men, will shut down until the strike is settled. Other manufacturing communi. ties throughout the west are doing the same thing, and it is not an exaggeration to state that the ranks of the idlers in the west will be increased ,00O, ,000 men by reason of the strike. The western country therefore loses S2,0o0,0O0 day in wages, estimating the pay of the men at the low average of $2 a day. In the basis of the estimate ofthe men out of work in Chicago, by reason of the strike, the workingmen are contributing 1900, GOO day in lost wages and 1900, ,00O more in drafts upon their resources for the cost of living, or a daily total of $500, ,000.
 According to an afternoon paper, the plot to blow up the town of Pullman, which was said to have been frustrated by the arrival at that town last night of the Third battalion, First regiment Illinois national guards, was hatcned yesterday at a meeting of the carriage trimmers' union al Zept's hall, 54 West Lake street. which became famous as the headquarters of the anarchists. According to this story, in- cendiary speeches were made and resolu- tions adopted denonncing number of cap italsts of this city and threatening their lives aud property.
