The following dispatch fl ON Sacramento
has been posted by the A. X. U. strike
committee at West Oakland: Fillmore
agreed to take back all men without
prejudice. The company could not with
draw the Pullmans without mourning n
law suit. All trains annulled until fur
Their notice" The last part OF this dis
patch greatly pleased the strikers here, who
interpreted it to mean unconditional sur
render on the part of the Southern Pacific.
The annulnent of trains, however, was
because of the trial of the strikers referred
to in the foregoing.

southern Pacific Finds 1t Difficult to Run
Its Trains.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The strikers
view of the railroad situation in northern
California was given by one of the strike
leaders in Oakland. Under ordinary
circumstances" he said eighteen or
twenty freight trains are dispatched from
Oakland daily. During the past fe " days
the railroad company has sent out five
freight trains. If this is running the road
tien we are beaten" 1t is apparently a
scarcity of competent trainmen that is
troubling the officials of the railroads. In
sacramento almost the same condition
prevails. One hundred and fifty worklnen
were induced to go back to the railroad
shops there. In Oakland forty men were
escorted to and from the railroad shops
by troop of cavalry.
Evidence is afforded that the railroad
company has still TO guard against vio-
lence. A track walker discovered that the
fish plates had been removed from over 100
yards of tracks. Strikers were seen in
this vicinity the night before. 1t is be-
!ieved to have beenSan attempt to wreck
the San Francisco local train. 1t is also
reported that violence is feared ut Truckee,
where the strikers are in AN ugly mood.
The preliminary examination of Knox
and Worden, the strikers who are &C
cused of murder in having wrecked q
train and caused the disaster at Sacra-
mento "A week ago has begun at Wood
land. This afforded the strikers an easy
opportunity to cripple the, Southern Pa.
cifc. The strikers attorneys summoned
as witnesses two switchmen who were the
only men remaining in the Sacramento
yards Their going out compelled the COM
pany to abandon several trains out of Sac
ramento.
United States Marshal Baldwin sent the
following reply to the strike leaders who
offered to furnish a force of $500 deputy
marshals to preserve order along the
Southern Pacific lines. Il have the homo

Summer Advantages-Com-

In all troubles of catarrhal or
bronchial nature, one months treat
ment in the summer is, as rule.
worth two in the winter. 1t is in the
summer that nature lends her aid to
the work of the physician. The even
temperature makes conditions spec
tally favorable for speedy cure.
The liability to catching cold is re-
duced to the minimum. Time and
again have the physicians of the
Scott Medical Institute urged pa
tients in desperate stages of catarrh
TO wait until summer for treatment.
and they have never failed to urge
all who have any traces of this insid-
'ous disease TO embrace the opportu-
nifty which summer offers, and rid
themselves of it then. even when its
symptoms are less distressing than
usual.
