MAIL TRAINS STALLED.
One at Dunsmuir and Two at Sacra-
mento.

The railway mail service on the coast is
practically at an end. Superintendent
Flint, who is overseer Of the collection and
distribution of mails in Alaska, Washing
ton. Oregon. Idaho. Utah, Calforni a,
Nevada and Arizona, oscillated between
his office and the Southern Pacfic's head
quarters all day yesterday, and when night
came had little TO show for his work.
The company's servants had neither
assistance n or encouragement to offer, and
from every point in his jurisdiction the
same story of stalled trai rs and Indignant
passengers was telegraphed.
All the mail for the East that was
massed on the Oakland mole was taken by
the train that left at 1910 o'clock Thurs
day night. The company fondly hoped
that the train laden with delayed mails
would go forward to its destination In
spite of the fact lha: 1t was in part COM
posed of Pullman sleepers. Marshal Long
and his deputies were on board, and when
the cars were pulled out of the station the
company made ready TO inform the world
that 'the back of the strike is broken"
If it was broken then it was made
whole when the cars reached Rocklin.
There passenger coaches, Pullman sleepers
and mailcars stood still and went no
further The Marshal, whose term OF
office expires to-day. left the train in
charge of his deputies and made his way
to Sacramento. there to take the boat for
this city.
Superintendent Flint has received It'd
ings from Sacramento that the Central Pa
cifc trains, one due in this city at 40
o'clock yesterday morning aud the other
due three hours later, were stalled at the
capital city. The mail brought overland
bv them will probably be taken to this
city Cd boats. The train from Oregon due
here at 10:45 o'clock yesterday morning,
the superintendent was Informed, was
tied up at Dunsmuir, Siskiyou County.
Mails for Napa Valley were forwarded
by steamer at . O'Clock in the afternoon,
and at the same time the steamer J. ID.
Peters of the California Navigation I'm
pr0vement Company took the mails for
| BOuldin Island, Benicis. Martinez, Stock
ton and the connecting stage routes. The
Sacramento boats took the mails for that
city and towns in its vicinity.
The coast steamers have not vet been
USED for the transportation of mails, but
their services will be secured if the tie.uu
continues.

THE EFFECT UPON EXCHANGE.
The Rate for Transmitting Money by
Telegraph Advances.

"All mercantile and financial transac-
tioDs are so identified with matters of
transportation ana mail service that the
fail to put a serious embargo upon bank
ing business.
But in nv opinion these conditions are
too violent to last. The thing is being
overdone, and the combination will fall
of their own weight"
This was the observation of Mr.. Prentice
Smith of the Bank of California, when
asked what effect he had observed in bank
ing as the result of the te-up.
at is too early to feel any embarrass-
ment from the situation" was the remark
of bankers generally.
''It is so lar just such an interruption as
is frequent from heavy snowfalls OF of
holidays. Should it continue, however, il
would certainly work considerable hard
ship with business, but no such thing as a
panic could result. The embarrassment
would be felt by individuals and business
houses rather than banks. and these have
the telegraph open to them for the trans
mission of money. Business has been so
dull. however, that the effect cannot be
great"
The rate Of exchange by telegraph has
advanced 2 or cents since the trouble
began. but it is still less than 10 cents per
500. which is considered by bankers as
the normal rate.
There was quite an appreciable increase
in the business of transmitting money by
telegraph to the East reported yesterday.
The morning call., 1894-06-30
shippers might think of IT. The market
absorbed it all without difficulty.
FRUIT AT A DISADVANTAGE.
Growers Who Can't Get to Market
Must Suffer.

Persbable goods cannot wait upon rail-
way trains that do not move any more
than railway trains when they do move
wait upon tardy travellers.
As result dealers in fruit anticipate a
great going to waste Of their special CON-
modify.
1--WE will suffer losses, of course" said
ID. L. Allison yesterday. "but not in any
proportion to the fruit-grower who is un-
able TO get his goods to market. We will
be unable to sell what we haven't got, and
will lose such profits as we might make
but the fruit-grower will be liable to sell
what he has got, and what has cost him
time and money TO produce, and which
will have been destroyed when traffic is
resumed If the interruption continues any
length of time.
Some four carloads of fruit were ex-
pected from Vacavile this morning that I
know of that did not come OF course
eonsignees who have depended upon such
fruit arrivals will also suffer considerable
hardship. Great quantities of fruit were
landed 10 this city at the time of the STOP
page OF trains which were designed for
points north and south, and it was thus
forced on the market here; and of course
the shippers will get nothing for il CON-
pared with the figures they would have
received at its destination
'The fruit traffic of the entire coast as
far south as San Diego. north to Tacoma
and east to Ogden will be seriously affected
every day that the tie-up continues. To
be sure Portland and Puget Sound points
are reached by frequent steamers, but the
fruit shipments by rail are daily.
This city will scarcely feel the effect So
far as its consumption is concerned. as
Stockton and other points from which
steamers ply daily will keep up the supply,
and such firms as deal locally and have
established relations with these points
may profit from slight increase in prices.
although al present the extra supply from
the reasons cited has kept prices rather be-
low than above the expected"

matter, however. as on motion of Delegate
Z. P. Burman of the Furniture-w oTkers'
Union committee of three. consisting of
II. S. Farland, G. w. Van Gulpen and c.
A. Schaeffer, was appointed to draft reso-
lutiens expressing the sentiment of the
body as a whole.
After few moments consultation, they
offered the following, which was unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, Because of the unjust and illib-
eral exactiOns OF the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany, the thousands of employees of that sOrdid
corporation have found it necessary, in the
furtherance and preservation Of their rights as
American wag--earners, to decline to further
serve their ungenerous employers until their
condition shall have been materially bettered,
and have applied TO their fellow railroad opera
tors TO assist and sustain them in their hour of
pressing need; and whereas, in response to the
urgent solicitation OF these unfairly treated
men, the American Railway Union has in
dorsed the general boycott OF the cars run
under the managem nj Of the Pullman Palace
Car Company. and has, after thorough inyesIl-
cation and mature deii0eration, ordered loyal
union attaches of all railroads equipped with
Pullman cars TO peremptorily refuse to move
trains made up wholly or In part OF such OBJ
iectionable rolling stock.
Resolred, That the Labor Council of San
Francisco does hereby freely and unequivocally
indorse the summary action of the Am erican
Railway Union, and be it further
Resolved, That this organization advise dly
declares that Pullman railway cars are not a
necessary adjunct of local or transcOntnental
passenger service or mail transportation. and
that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in
refusing to move mail, express and passenger
trains unless Pullman coaches be attached
thereto has grossly exceeded its rights of fran
chise and CHARTER and in a mslevolent an
deavor TO cast undeserved popular opprobrium
and hatred upon honest, faithful and diltgent
mechanics and workmen has domneenngly,
iasultingly and unnecessarily inflicted pain,
misery and inconvenience upon an innocr nj
and in a great measure disinterested public
and be IL further
ReSoIred, That this body shall do all within
its power 10 encourage ana sustain the bold
and manly action OF the American Railway
Union.
In addition to the foregoing the follow
ing resolutions were also adopted in con-
demning the actions of the Government
official at Washington:
WHEREAS. United States Attorney-General
Olney has en- I'll to depart from his official du-
lies in order to assist aa arrogant corporation
in the accomplishment of the evasion of its
public duties by ordering that the edict of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company that none
but trains as regularly made up shall be
moved; therefore be fC
ReSotUed. That the San Francisco Labor
Council, without regard to partisan feeling,
condemn this fragrant violation of IMPARTIAL
consideration and action upon the rights of
American citizenship.

WELLS FARGO'S TROUBLE.
The Tie-Up Leaves Them Out O
Business Temporarily.

The Office of Wells, Fargo & Co. wore an
air of lasstude yesterday wholly foreign
to that wideawake institution.
"We can't do business under the pre-
vailiDg conditions, and that's all there is to
it." said one OF the officials to CALL re-
porter.
1--WE refuse 20 take perishabe goods and
advise shippers in all other instances of
the likelihood of very tardy delivery. and
that's the best we can do"
sit is great loss to you?"
Certainly"
"And what are you going to do about
that?"
I'VE have no recourse. The railroad
company is required to haul our cars when
they run trans. but know OF no way we
can compel them to run trains. We are
not going to demand of them that they
move our cars, for we know they would
simply pay no attention to us, nor can we
demand any forfeiture or recompense be-
cause Of the loss entailed upon us, because
we have no way of enforcing It, All we
can do is to grin and bear it and hope that
the thing will be settled soon in some way
OF course, we keep up connections with
such points as may be reached by water
mp the Sacramento river, the Colum bia,
Puget Sound and certain points below.
We will attempt to reach San Luis Obispo
by steamer; but all that is mere drop in
the bucket. Business has been so very
dull for long time past that this almost
total suspension is not felt as ii would have
been year ago."
The Wells Fargo Company had great
quantity of fruit on their hands Thursday
In transit for various points of the COM
pass which they we're unable to deliver
They telegraphed to shippers for advice
and in response to the same preeipitated
about 1000 boxes of cherries. currants,
peaches, apricots, etc., upon market that
had not been anticipating 1t.
great number of small packages of
fruit, such as samples and presents. were
sold without stopping to inquire what the
