Special to the APPEAL.
Chicago, the 11th-The great r. r
strike is practically ended here.
Trains on all roads are moving. Pas
senger trains are on time, and freight
traffic is rapidly becoming regular.
'The backbone of the strike is not
only broken" said Manager Fgan,
"but the backbone has entirely dis
| appeared. The blockade is raised,
and it will require but short time
to get business back into its usual
routine"
San Francisco, the 11th-For over
"a hours Z S regulars have beel in
the field in Northern California, but
the blocade has not been broken; in
fact the situation tonight is termed
more serious than it has been at any
time heretofore. Human lives have
been sacrificed at Sacramento in a
horrible manner, which the strikers
are accused Of having penetrated. All
OF the victims but one were soldiers.
As result the feelings of the strik-
ers and soldiers in the field have been
wrought upon until men comprising
contending forces are not only as de-
termined as before, but ugly and des-.
perate. 1t is clear that the strikers
realize the folly of openly resiating
the Z S army as they have resisted
all municipal and State authorities.
From the dastardly tactics employed
this afternoon at Sacramento against
the regulars and tho r r Co, it is
apparent, however, that more barbar-
Gus and more deadly tactics of guer-
lila warfare are to be resor ted to.
Twice during the day were troops
ambushed.
The first attack from under cover
was at about 6 o'clock this morn
ing, Col. Graham landed at
Sacramento with his force of over six
hundred regulars. No effort was
made to resiat their progress. The
troops marched directly to the
Southern Poetic depot and took pos
session of the building and the Rail-
road yards. Five hundred people
gathered at the depot and dispersed
when ordered to do so. At the
wharves a detachment of State mi
litia had been left to guard the water
front. Regular troops were no
sooner out of sight than this little
band of militiamen was fired upon
with rifles by force of twenty-five
men who were concealed in the
bushes on the opposite side of the
river.
The militiamen returned the fire
and about 200 shots were exchanged
across the river before attacking
party fed. A japanese boy who
stood on the river bank was killed by
bullet from militia band. None of
the attacking party was unprecedented.
After this skirmish it was hoped that
hostilities had ended. Under cover
of U S troops r r officials went into
yard and resumed work unmolested.
The tracks were cleared and trains
made up. At noon a passenger train
was dispatched for Oakland un3er
strong military a, Amor, the
crowds of strikers in the street there
were men who openly boosted tbs
the train would never reach Oak
land but no one thought they spoke
knowingly. An hour later when
news came back to Sacramento of
horrible II r wreck in which at least
four men had persisted, these same
men were as loudly denying that the
men were strikers who had sawed
away the supports of the r r bridge
and caused the plunge to death.
The disaster at the bridge caused
the Company {, cease efforts to move
trains Until the trestle is repaired
no trains can be rue over that line,
but whether the Company will try to
run ether trains tomorrow remains to
be seen At Oakland today the
outlook was also warlike. An extra
force of 100 policemen and deputies
had been sworn in, and the railroad
o fcisls we're making preparations
early in the day to start trains stimuli
