Judge Armstrong; Appeal to the
Local Strikers.
Resistance to The Government is an
Act Of Treason.
What Chairman Knox Says-lIullin and
Compton EljOined-Ialians Demand
Return Of Their Stolen Guns.

Nothing short of Pullman car NOV
ing over the rails and forming part of a
railroad train could probably have
aroused the railway strikers yesterday
from their lounging places in the shade.
where they tried to keep comfortable
with the mercury bubbling up around
the 100-mark, near the top of the ther-
mometers.
And how the heavily SOL
diers did perspire in their camps!
One hundred degrees in the shade is a
mercurial performance that Sacrament
tans rarely witness. Only twice last year
did 1t occur, and it may not happen here
again this summer. A portion OF the day
was sultry, too, the wind coming from
the north, which in the summertime al
ways means excessive heat.
The Capitol Park campers were spread
out in all sorts of ungraceful positions
on the grass under the trees, and Won
dered If this spell of weather was the reg
ular thing here, or whether the powerful
a. X. u. had had it gotten up for their
special benefit. Fortunately the men had
no hard work to do, for it was actually too
hot for anyone TO stand much eXertion,
dressed as the soldiers are in heavy, dark
colored uniforms, which absorb rather
then throw off the heat of the sun.
1t was SO uncomfortable in The Armory
that General Sheehan In the morning
ordered Companies L and q of this city
and the two companies from Stockton,
together with the brigade and regimental
headquarters, transferred to the Capitol
grounds, where they will camp during
the time they remain under orders.
Il squad Of men under the direction of
Major NJ. j. Dillman, Engineer Officer of
the Fourth Brigade, and Lieutenant w.
b. Maydwel, Regimental Quarter
master of the Second Infantry, were at
work early putting up the tents and pre-
pairing the grounds. The camp is erected
Immediately back of the Capitol and
west OF the Second Brigade regiments.
The result of the general court martial
in the Second Brigade, wherein mum ber
OF the men of the Third Infantry were
tried for marching away from the depot
on the 4th without being ordered to do
SO, will most likely be made known at
dress parade this evening.
Lieutenant McIvor of the Seventh
United States Infantry, who is on duty as
Inspector of the National Guard, is a
familiar figure about camp, and can be
seen at work making careful examina-
ton of the manner IN which military
rules are observed and the way the men
perform their duties.
STRIKERS ENJOINED.
Deputy United States Marshal Maloney
yesterday served on Thomas Compton
and James Mullin-who, with Ii. A.
Knox, constitute the A. X. L. Mediation
or Executive CommitIee-the Injunction
o the Federal Courts restraining them
from interference with the moving OF
mail or other trains. Knox was enjoined
several days ago.
Muliin accepted the paper presented by
Deputy Maloney, but Compton at first
declined the gilt. MaIoney told him that
ii he refused TO accept il he would lay it
at his feet, which constituted legal serv-
ice. Compton then changed his mind
and was duly served with the process of
Uncle sam.
THE GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE.
All matters connected with the strik @
are now in the hands Of the Government
which is acting through the War De-
partment. The Citizens Committee.
which has all along sought to bring
about peaceable solution OF the trouble,
therefore asked Chairman Knox of the
a. II. u. Committee whether or noU-in
case Federal troops were sent here TO
open the road-the strikers would aban-
don their hitherto expressed determina-
tion to resist the moving of trains, with
or without Pullman cars.
Knox (who is under injunction of the
Federal courts) replied that personally
he would not resist nor advise resistance
to the regular troops if brought here. If.
however, the Government attempted to
move trains with Pullman cars. without
a settlement of the main question, he
would not be able TO control the men.
They had notified him that thew were
over 1000 strong and would not submit
TO the troops.
Knox is further credited with the state
ment that he has not as yet been informed
by President Debs of the American Rail-
way Union that the proclamation sent out
on Friday night had been issued by him,
and therefore was not prepared to accept
it as official.
TROOPS AT OGDEN.
Information was yesterday received by
General Superintendent Fillmore from
Ogden TO the effect that the United States
troops have arrested the leading strikers
at that place, and that trains are now
running out of there on the Union Pa
citic and on the Denver and Rio Grande.
1T would be useless for the Southern
Pacific to run any trains out of there,'
added Mr.. Fillmore, until the blockade
at this end of the line shall have been
broken, which / think will be the case in
two or three days"
Mr. Fillmoie remains firm in his
declaration that the Southern Pacific
Company has nothing to arbitrate with
the Railway Union, and that therefore
it is idle to talk of compromising" any
thing.
GOVERNOR MARKHAM COMING.
The Executive Committee OF the Citi-
zens' Protective Association on Sunday
wired Governor Markham as follows:
I'VE respectfully represent 10 your ex-
cellency that your presence as Governor
of the State of California is demanded al
this time at the seat of government, and
that if, under the existing conditions, il
be impossible 10 reach this point by rail,
the journey should be undertaken by
water while that means of communlea-
ton remains open."
In response to the above, Private Secre-
