Los ANGELES, July 15.-This day has
confirmed the statement made by the rail-
road officials that the strike is over in
Southern California.
Railroad business was carried on with
out restrictions of any kind on the same
scale as before Debs Issued his order to
tie up the railways. 1t was very busy
day in railroad circles. for every train
necessary to the observance of schedules
was running.
Everybody who could get out Of town
went down to the seaside. either to Santa
Monica, Redondo, San Pedro or Long
Beach. 1t is nearly four weeks since the
opportunity 10 smell salt air and plunge in
breakers or stretch on the beach was pos.
sibIe for the great bulk Of Los Angeles
people, whose favorite pleasure on Sunday
is to cool off away from home. Last Sun
day they were timid of travelling, but to-
day they appeared in such crowds at the
Arcade depot that the service had to be
doubled. One train for beach excursionists
alone was so long that two powerful en-
gines had hard work pulling it. There
were fourteen day cars and baggage car
and not seat was vacant. A short dis
lance behind was another train of ten day
coaches, all filed with passengers.
These were On the Santa Monica branch.
where travel was the heaviest. But all
locals were enlarged to meet the demands,
which were altogether unexpected. The
reason for the remarkable increase in local
and excursion passenger travel is given
as a return of confidence in the safety of
the railroads. and as the strike is over
there will be no trout le-at least to local
trains.
Two trains left the Southern Pacific
depot for San Francisco on regular
schedule time, one at P. NJ. and another
at 7:45 P. NJ. AS usual. they had Pullman
cars and mails.
Five trains of delayed freight came in
this evening to the Southern Pacific freight
depot, and as many more are leaving.
The arrival of the steamer Santa Rosa
from San Francisco gave the Santa Fs
road heavy mornings work. Nearly all
the passengers, to the number of 800, on
the steamer came to Los Angeles at 80
A. NJ by the Santa Fe train. There were
600 bags of mail and an extraordi narily
heavy express cargo. The mails came
from various places. but mainly from the
East, by way of the Northern Pacific
Railroad.
The Santa Fe officials get along without
soldiers and feel safe with small guards of
Deputy Marshals on the trains. But their
system has been remarkably free from
acts of violence, a single instance so
far being recorded.
1t has been a monotonous SUNDAY for
the United States troops, who mostly
stayed in camp and passed away the time
on their straw beds or in the shelter of the
railroad cars. With the exception Of two
small details sent out on the San Fran
cisco and Sunset overlands as far as the
river station, no soldiers were on duty out
side of the regular sentry lines.
A special mail train arrived this morn
ing from San Francisco. and people were
