CHICAGO, July 21.-Only two of the men
Indicted by the federal grand jury gave
bail In the United States court yesterday.
Most of the day was consumed In making
out bench warrants against the indicted.
The men who gave bail were J. J. Han
nahan, vice grandmaster of the Brother
hood Of Firemen, and August Hodges,
one Of the Brighton Park strikers. Bench
warrants for all the men included in the
indictments were handed to the marshal
70 be served, numbering thirty-seven.
Hannahan il charged with intimidating
and endeovoring to induce fireman to
leave his cab.
Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rodgers
figure In five of the indictments. In one
Of them they are charged with consplring
with Hannahan. In another they are
charged with conspiringto obstruct inter
state commerce and in the other three
they are Joined as conspirators with other
persons who committed lawless acts. Debs
and the other officers are already under
the original indictment returned against
them. Their bail under the five new in
dictments has been fixed at 90 900 upon
each charge, In all SIS, 900 bail, which each
will be required to give.
1t is prophesied on all sides that the
Southern Pacific strike Is TO be settled by
Monday next. 1t is rumored about that
negotiations are pending between the
strike leaders and the railway officials,
but these runors positively cannot ba
authenticated. 1t Is simply known thar
the strikers at Oakland wired to Presi-
dent Debs asking whether they were au-
thorized to negotiate with the railway Of
flcials, and that Debs answered practically
tnstructing The California unions to act
as they would deem advisable.
The story that bomb was carried into
the Pullman building during the strike
with design against the life of Vice Presi-
dent Wickes turns out to be "fake. +"
The bomb was filled with turpentinG and
IL supposed to have been sent into the
building by man who few days before
warned Mr.. Wickes that au attempt
would be made to blow up the building
1t is believed that he sent the bottle into
the building to corroborate his statement
and to induce the Pullman company to
reward him. James Monaghan who car
xied the bottle in, was entirely innocent
Of any knowledge of the affair. He carried
1t in because he was given fifty cents to
do so.
mass meeting of 1900 men was held
at Ogden's Grove last night and Debs was
nominated for president of the United
States amid great enthusiasm. The
speakers were local labor men. They eulo-
gized Debs and denounced President
Cleveland.
The Missouri Pacific railroad has
thrown down the gauntlet to the A. X. U.
for a fight TO the death. The following
certificate was handed Q yard CLERK on
that road at st, Louis who had reported
two days ago for his old positions: "This

sary to lay him off on account of strike in
the yards. He reported for work on the
eighteenth of July, but in the meantime
It was learned that he was member Of the
A h, u, and was in sympathy with the
strike neyemes,. SO that We could not re
sfilPioy him. Els work and conduct vi
to the time Of the strike was perfectly
satisfactory" 1t is probable that civil
action for damages will be brought
against the railroad for its action in this
matter.
The preliminary examination Of the fivt
American Railway union men charged
With murder In connection with the trestlt

damaging testimony that he gave against
