Los Angeles, July ~. S. Attor-
ney Dennif has just ordered the
Southern Pacific Company to move
their mail trains tonight,
In view of the fact of complaints
that the S p Co is not making proper
effort to transport mails, U 5 District
Attorney has notified the Company
that the fact that it is impracticable
to operate trains carrying Pullmans
at present time does not excuse the
Company from carrying mails on all
other trains.
Sacrame nto, July Court Mar
tial which is being held here adj
journed this evening until tomorrow
morning. With the exception of 7
all members of Co G third infantry
of S F, pleaded guilty to disobedi-
ence. 1t is thought they will be let

Sacramento, July 7-Censterna-
ton was occasioned at the headquart-
ers of the Southern Pacific Company,
by the report that train manned by
A, L. d, men was being made up to
take the mail as far east as possible.
Nothing definite could be learned Of
the plans of the A. r. L. in that di-
rection, but the knowing ones say
that if the strikers do this the Rail
road officials dare not interfere with
the train, as it would place them in a
very bad light.
Rockland, July THE extreme
heat has made lighthouses out of the
refrigerator cars, which have been
standing here since the blockade
The cars are loaded with dressed
beef, which is rapidly purifying, and
the stencil is horrible. Strikers and
Deputies are being overcome by the
heat, and ice is selling at fabulous
prices.
Chicago, July 7-Debs has eau
toned the strikers against destroying
railroad property. The railroad COM
panies are leaving no stone unturned
to win the fight, ard the greatest
discrimination on the part of the a.
II. u. is necessary. The rioters as a
rule are not members OF the A. r.
T., and are not even strikers, but
are sympathisers and toughs, who
are glad of the opportunity to COM
nit acts of depreciation and outrage.
The impression is gaining ground
here that some of the so-called riot
ers are in the pay of the railroad to
throw the odium of the riots on the
A. r. U.
Chicago, July 7-Strikers and Ill
State troops came together this after
