moving out from here to-day ON the
Omaha road. The limited from Chicago
came in with a Wagner car. The North
err Pacific passenger trains are moving
all right, but freight business is at a
standstill. The Omaha morning train to
st. Paul is still standing in the yards,
the fireman and brakemen having gone
out.
st. Paul, July 2--The strike question
In St Paul is summarized as follows:
Northern Paci6c-No freight traffic ON
the line. Passenger service between ST.
Paul and Fargo and between Portland
and Spokane only. Probably 800 men

The strike is producing serious effects
upon the industries of St Paul and Min
neapolis. The Bohn Manufacturing conn.,
pany has not been able to get cars for
shipping its output, and the result is the
company will have to close down. and
several hundred works en- will be thrown
out of employment. At the South ST.
Paul stock yards, in case the motor is
again interfered with, 400 men may be
lille, as they c9nnot get to and from ST.
Paul. The distillery viii have to close
down, also, fer the same reason, rs the
v'crknen c. nnot ira. ell to and from
their place of employment as usual An
other serious feature is the fact that the
eattle-carrying trade is paralyzed The
Montana ranches cannot ship their stock,
and the result will be that the price of

and perishable goods. Aside from the

Great Western there has been no dis

Washington, July 2.-Dispatches were
received by Attorney General Olney last
evening from Judge Hallett, of the
United States court in Colorado, and
| United States Marshal IZell, stating that
| the strikers were refusing to allow trains
| to run from Trinidad on the Santa Fe
and on the Gulf, and asking that United
| States troops be sent from Logan. Mr..
| Olney Immediately conveyed the dis
| patch to the White House and Secretary
| of War Lamont, Gen. Sehofeld, the at
| torney general and the president held a
conference, After the conference Gen,
| Schofield telegraphed to Gen. McCook,
| ordering him to proceed at once to Trim
| idad with troops, The granting of the
request was also telegraphed to the
United States officials. Both the rail-
roads mentioned in the dispatches are
| at present in the custody of the United
| States courts, and this is the ground on
which the action of the authorities III

Kansas City, July 2.-The anticipation
| that all the A. r. u. employees in the
twenty-seyen yards of this city would
strike yesterday was not realized, and
| everything is quiet in the city. At Ar
| gentine, where trouble was expected, the
situation is practically unchanged, The
| Rock Island and Chicago & Alton sent
| out no passenger trains from here, not
| because they could not be manned here,
but for the reason that the companies ex-
| pected the stalling of trains at some
point out of town. All trains on other
lines arrived and departed as usual
San Francisco, July 2.-There seems to
be no improvement in the strike situu-
tion to-day, and judging by the occur
ltEces of the past twenty-four hours,
even if the Southern Pacific succeeds in
! sending out more trains from the Oak
Ii nd yards there is but little prospect that
they will proceed far on their way. The
Oregon express which left Oakland last
evening unmolested by strikers is now
effectually stalled at Red Bluff.
