FIsar FOR TaE SENATE
Senator Whitaker is Pushing Elkins N
the West Virginia Race.

the West Virginia Race.
Pitts6urg Di patch.
The next political fight in West Vir-
ginia, in which the Republicans are in
tereSted. Is the election Of a United
States Senator. The contest has mar
rowed down to senator n. E. Whitaker,
Of Wheeling, aud Steve Elkins. These
two giants In West Virginia politics are
struggling for the position, and 1t lie
question which one will win. The gen.
eral impression at first was that EIkins
would have an easy time Of IL, but he
has discovered that 1t will not be cake
walk. Whitaker is successful and
wealthy iron manufacturer 10 Wheeling
and is certain TO be elected President OF
the next West Virginia Senate.
Some time ago Senator Quay ventured
the opinion that local jealousy would be
strong against Elkins, as he is new
conner 10 the State. He wanted to know
II Judge Golf was not a candidate, but
II is definitely settled that the Judge
prefers 10 remain on the Circuit bench.
Colonel P. II. Moore, of Wheeling, his
wife and daughters, the Misses Mamie
and Doxie ID. Moore, registered at the
Mouongahela House yesterday. The COL
onel is a warm personel friend OF Senator
Whitaker, and is anxious to see him
60 higher 10 the political armament.
The Colonel said it was ridiculous to
say that any man in West Virginia had
q cinch on the United States Senator
ship. The Republican victory was not
won by money. 1t was the people who
found their pocKetbooks attenuated who
are responsible for the result. Mr..
Elkins had no more to do with the out
come than any other influential party
worker. Colonel Moore calls attention
to the fact that Elkins lives in the same
district with Senator Faulkner, and IL
is customary to have different sections
of the State represented.

WASHINGTON, December 14.-Senator
Camden left here to-day for his home at
Parkersburg. he will return by Mon
day.
Editor Hoffman Edwards, OF the Wes-
ton Times, who is here seeking the po-
stion in the Internal Revenue service
left vacant by the death OF the
late Ballard Conrad, has suddenly
had his hopes bliRhted by the presl-
dents order placing all the employees OF
the service below the grade of deputy
collector under the civil service law.
This will prevent the appointment OF
Editor Edwards unless the presidents
order is not regarded as going into effect
until the Civil Service Commission has
formally completed the classification OF
the numerous employees. How this Will
be is not yet known, but 1t is probable
no more appointments will be made In
the service, except through the civil
Service Com mission, after the usual ex-
animation. DR.. Rod E1miston, w. b.
McGary and Frank Waterman, OF the
Weston Bank, came here with Mr..
Edwards TO help him in his effort TO
get the appointment.

BUSINESS MEN lNCENSED.
General Sentiment That the Road
Should Submit to Arbitration.

The feeling among business men is
rapidly becoming what might be called
Intense" and it seems to be altogether
against the railroad company. Every
where the expression is heard that the
stike is cripplfng business to such an
extent that it will be slow 20 recover.
Business men all say that the matter
should be settled by arbitration and
speedily.
A leading Kearny-street merchant spoke
this warmly yesterday:
when the Southern Pacific people saw
that the public have no business to take
sides in an affair which is no concern of
theirs 1t exhibits lack of appreciation
of its relationship and obligation to the
people which is nothing less than amazing.
1t is our affair. The business men OF San
Francisco lose In a proportion quite equal
TO the railroad company itself. Tbs State
of California has lost S1.000,00O by
this thing up to date. l say it is an out
rage The company could easily adjust
this matter with Pullman if it would, but
I believe it Is anxious to carry on this
fight, with the aid of the authorities, in
order to break these unions.
Now, look at it. The railroad CON-
pany, precipitating the trouble. asks the
unicipal authorities to protect its prop
erty. The police and Sheriff's forces are
paid for by us-the taxpayers 1t calls
upon Sacramento to send the National
Guard to its assistance. The guard is sup
ported by the taxpayers. 1t demands of
the Federal Government-also supported
by the people-that it stand by it in this
controversy. The people ask it to move

and it coolly refuses.
'The merchants Of California have been
working against great odds for long
time. Trade was beginning to pick up.
and we were hoping for better things.
when we receive this blow. l tell you 1t
is very serious matter, and unless this
embargo is lifted speedily there will be
many lastingly crippled.
THE Southern Pacific Company is pre-
clpitatiDg conflict the results of which
will be more direful to it and the rest of
us than any it has witnessed.
IF it wants to end it. as it says il does,
let it submit the case to the Chamber of
Commerce of this city for arbitration. We
are not children. but men with heavy in
terests at stake, and we will not submit
much longer TO the diciation of the South
ern Pacific. This strike. if continued much
longer. means ruin to the business men of
California. and they viii not suffer it
mildly"

ENGINES DISABLED.
How the Strikers Stall Trains at
Ashland.

ASHLAND. Or, July IAN engine ar
rived this evening from Grants Pass To
take north the delayed passenger train
held here. Six deputy United States Mar
shals were placed aboard to guard the en-
gine, and the Sheriff had also responded TO
the call OF ths railroad officials for pro-
tection. The engine had not been in the
yards five minutes before it had been dis
abled, and there is little likelihood of the
company being able to move a train to-
night. The three engines already In the
roundhouse here are rendered unfit for
use until repairs are made, and this makes
the fourth one the strikers have tampered
with. The four Pullman cars on the de-
layed train are also disa bled. The strikers
laugh at the efforts made to move the
train.
The overland that arrived here from
Portland Friday morning is still in the
yards, and all efforts made to move
it have been futile. About forty south
bound passengers are making the best they
can of the situation.
About sixty section and worktraln men
on the Sskiyou Mountain just south of
here went out with the union, aud all sec
tion crews stationed at Ashland quit work
last night, making quite force of strikers

Twenty-eighth street and came downto wn
on a streetcar before the strikers got
there. The latter ran the train back to
Brighton, where it is reported they killed
it quite effectively.
Superintendent Fillmore drove from his
hotel TO the depot and had an hours con-
ference with Division SUPERINTENDENT
Wright at which no one else was present
He was afterward seen by reporter
but said he had little to saw abort thu
strike. He had cone here to inquire in to
the situation aud ascertain why the Sheriff
had refused tc do his duty ana keep the
company's premises free from the crowds
of men who were there to prevent it from
handling Its trains. II was his purpose, he
said, to remain here until the trouble was
settled. The railroad company had no
proposition to make TO the American Rail-
way Union looking to anything less than
the complete possession and use of its
property, including the Pullman cars,
which it had purchased for use In its busi-
ness.
Tonight Fillmore is holding confer
ence with the conductors and engineers
organization. and expects to confer later
with the Mayor. United States Marshal
Baldwin. Sheriff O'Neil and Chief of
Police Drew.
The American Railway Union men are
very defiant and rdicule ths idea of the
company moving its trains by aid of the
police. deputy sheriffs, the militia. United
States Marshals or even Government
troops. They claim to be able to hold
their own in case any such attempt should
be made.
Tonight some of the rails were torn
from; the track at Brighton junction and
boxcars run upon the main track
superintendent Fillmore and Supern-
tendent Wright have called on Mayer
Steinman to protect the company's prop
erty and to have the depot and yards
cleared of all strikers.

SUPERINTENDENT WHITE TALKS
He Says That the Sacramento Ser
vice NAV Be Increased.

Division uperintendent White. who has
charge of the depot at the foot of Market
street, was interviewed. He stated that
the ferry service was practically complete
and that 1t is only the local train connec-
tions at the mole and pier that are bother
ing the company. "We can take care of
as many people a desire TO cross the bay" "
said he. "but. of course. the trains are not
running so frequently as they did.
'We are carrying big crowds OF people
on the Modoc and Apache. and, If neces-
sarv, well increase the service" said he.
"What steamers have you that are avail
able to be pressed into the service?" was
asked.
There are plenty of idle steamers. We
can use the Amador, Garden City or any
of our boats that are not in commission.
"rhe river is high, and there Is plenty
of water to float the biggest ferry boat.
'At present we can carry 500 people
every trip of the two vessels now on the
route. There is at present no need to in
crease the service. but there is no telling
what a day may bring forth.
I'VE are carrying mail for way landings

sengers that were tied UP at Sacramento" i"

POLICE PRECAUTIONS.
Twenty Specials Sworn In = Chief
Crowley Applies for More Men.

Twenty special policemen were sworn
ID by Chief Crowley at police headquar srs
yesterday afternoon. their duty being to
protect the property of the railroad CON-
pany from destruction.
They will be stationed at the company's
yards. Fourth and Townsend streets, and
will be paid by the company. They are
all employees of the company. whose ser
vices have been temporarily dispensed
with on account of the tieup. Some of
them have done police duty before, and
one, j. S. Bovee. while on the regular
police force several years ago was the
proud possessor of star mo. l." The
majority are active young men.
Owing to the condition of affairs at the
company's yards yesterday the chief re-
duced the detail there at 1 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon to one-half, those relieved
taking a wel-earned rest. This Is carry

men are thoroughly trained in military

In them.
Besides, should the necessity arise

to pass an order authorizing and empowering
the Board Of Police commissioners to appoint
twenty-five (25) additional police officers, for
the payment Of which provision has been MADE

SCARED THE DEPUTIES.
San Francisco Youngsters Take Shots
at the Oakland Mole

at the Oakland Mole.
Half dozen small boys, three of whom
had revolvers in their pockets, made a
sensation on the Oakland train as it ran
| into the shed toward the steamer, about
5:15 yesterday afternoon. They stirred
up the deputy sherffs by the shooting of
their guns. and most of the walters in the
depot began to think that actual hostilities
had begun and a hand to-Land conflict
was on.
The boys were on the middle car of the
five on the train, and when they got into
the shed and began plugging away with
their guns the passengers didn't walt to
see what the trouble was. but let out for
the doors. The shots rang out loudly and
reverberated through the shed for all the
world like musketry discharge. Several
deputies took to their heels in the direc-
tion Of the shots. and when they had sue
ceeded in getting a good view of the car
they saw the youngsters running up the
mole.
Deputy Hunter. who is somewhat OF
sprinter, soon led his fellows In the chase
and captured Albert Hedricks, IL years
old. who lives at 515 Van Ness avenue,
and John DAILY, about the same age. who
resides with his parents at ia First
street. The other four made good their
escape.
The two prisoners were searched and on
their persons were found two short %
caiber revolvers. out OF which part OF the
fusiade had been fired. The boys said
they had been out hunting in the Oakland
hills and had merely shot their revolvers
out Of the window in fun.
They were taken to one of the rooms IN
the depot building and locked up for an
hour and then placed on the $50 steamer
fer home. Their rsvolvers were confs-
Gated and they were told that the next
time they did anything Of the kind they
would be sent to the Whittier School.

THE TRACK is CREASED.
The Northbound Oregon Express
Stopped at Red Bluff.

REDD ING. July L. The northbound
Oregon express was stopped in sight of
Redding by danger signals. When an
attempt was made to start it was found
that the rails were creased and it took
several minutes to reach the depot. When
crossing the street crossing the rain was
cut in three sections by the strikers and
left on the main street. The two deputies
accompanying the train were powerless.
The track is creased for eight miles north
of here. Spikes were pulled from the rails
in the yard, tanks emptied of water,
switches secured by padloeks and dead en-
gine is resting partly on the turntable with
no track leading to it from the line. The
drawheads were taken from coaches and
hidden. The express, with Master Me-
chanic Kellard OF Dunsmuir at the throttle,
has just been pocketed on the side track.
