out of the well-Ruarded assembly-room
with eountenances hopeful but fearfuIIy
defiant Yells and cheers shouted above
the babble Of voices in the room at inter-
walls, and we're strong TO stir up an increase
of enthusiasm among those who thronged
about the entrance and along the streets
and sidewalks. Scores of strikers, with
guns on their shoulders, started off and
crossed the river, and generally located
themselves In localities sufficiently far
distant and secluded to remove any chances
of interference. There they set up targets
and tried their skill at rife-fring. Shots
were dangerously numerous along the river
sides, and targets were hit with a fre-
quency that told of skill and long ac-
quaintsnce with the use OF firearms.
These were the men who are believed to
have been selected to do rpshooting.

sufficient quantities to last for several

tops were lined with people, and as the
steamer swung around the point every
small boat was brought into requfsition
and put off for the navy yard. Word was
passed along to allow no one to land on
the yard.
The marines from the barracks left
their quarters and came marching steadily
down to the water front, under the COM
mand of Major P. c. Pope and the various
officers who were to lead the companies.
The steamer came on up the river, and it
was seen that she was loaded with troops.
She passed up by the island. swung around
and came back and veered in alongside of
the wharf just below the great stone dry
dock where Commandant Howison, Com.

naval officers were congregated. As soon
as a gangplank was thrown out Colonel
Graham stepped ashore and reported to
Commandant Howison, who, after ex-
changing few words. gave orders for the
companies of marines to be marched
aboard. They numbered some 135 men.

In very short time after the

one of the strikers had read il
and laughed at it and tore it to pieces.
Little they cared what Mayor Steinman or
Barry Baldwin desired. They stood about
in fearless defiance of the order, and when
o'clock came their attitude was of the

The men were told to dsperse By their

again tomorrow. and the entire night will
be spent in preparing them for any contin-

An effort Is being made to impress Chair

their innocence and warning them in the
future to keep away from the island at

taken to the lower end of the island on
one of the yard tugs and put in their boats
1t is believed by many that the men had
more or less to do with the present trou-
bles, as they were bright looking and
smart. Extra precautions are now taken
to see that no other persons are allowed
on the yard, either day or night.
To-day sailors have been on the march
about the island drilling and firing guns.
Early in the morning word was received
by the commandant that the steamer
Alameda was going up to the yard with
the intention of receiving the three COM
panies of marines, and for them to report
to Colonel Graham, United States Army.
AS soon as this was known, the marines
were ordered to again make preparations
for their departure. About 8 o'clock the

those strikers maintained their positions
on the streets and ON the railroad prop
erty, and all this time Mayor Steinman
wondered. and Barry Baldwin wondered
in company with Steinman. Baldwin
called conference OF military chiefs at
the Golden Eagle Hotel. General Dickin-
son of the Second Brigade and General
Sheehan of the Fourth Brigade glittered
in the MarshaPs inner Office. 1t was de-
cided that the situation is serious and that
lightning is beginning to loosen up to
strike with extraordinary violence. Baldwin
directed that Immediately upon the ar
rival of the regular troops General Shee-
han should report to Colonel Graham of
the Fifth United States Artillery and
place his entire militia force located here
under orders from the commanding officer
OF the troops Of the regular service.
Thus far there has been no other plan
OF operations decided upon. Unless these
orders are countermanded and the militia
ordered out sooner. the citizen soldiers
will not take any active part in the pro-
ceedings until the regulars begin what will
probably be tran sactions of rich interest
with the strikers contingent.
The reports which startle most now are
those concerning the departure of about
500 strikers down both sides of the Sac
ramento River with Winchester rifles and
plenty of ammunition. IL was also reported

1t could not be learned where the cavalry

Couriers went hurrying In every direction
with startling reports, and within half an
hour from the time the first news was re-
ceived there were 5000 striking railroad
employes in thick throngs all about the
Southern Pacific property. They came
from everywhere and gathered with sur
prlsing haste and without disturbance.
Some trotted along with shotguns. others
with Winchesters, and not one of the
hurrying multitude but had a revolver
and the cartridges that go with it in pock-

SACRAMENTO, July 1o-When the news
reached this city this afternoon that the
troops Of the United States army were on
the way to clear the railroad yards and
move the Southern Pacific trains there was
commenced an era of excitement which
has never had its parallel in Sacramento
History before. The spectacle of men. ex-
cited bat determined, hurrying through
the public streets with several Wnches-
ters on their shoulders and their pockets
bulginK with pistols and cartridges is of
rare occurrence, and Sacramentans are lib
era1 in their appreciation Of the fact. Men
and women and children gathered along
every thoroughfare and talked and conjec-
tured on the numerous possibilities that
=. the soldiers and strikers would clash and
that the blood of both be shed in the ter
.rttoty where railroad property is located.
. Crowds hurried down to the vicinity of the
headquarters of the American Railway
Union and gazed in open-mouthed wonder
al hundreds of men thickly gathered and
desperate of aspect.
Tie scene at Knox's headquarters and
at the depot buildings. short distance be-
low, gave splendid token of the arrival of
a climax in Sacramento's part in the great
national railroad strike. There could be
no mistaking the fact that the beginning
OF the end was swiftly approaching. The
strikers took on more serious demeanor,
ii in 1ad ha
bziIliant prospects for trouble. The citi-
Zens of the town paled perceptibly at the
dfscouraging prospects for peace and CT
der. Miltiamen agreed throughout their
camp that the time for action was not far
off, and so they played no more cards on
drumheads nor washed their clothing in a
tin pail. No more of that for a few hours.
The fearless ones were only iubllant over
the prospects of a chance to redeem their
lost honor and show themselves of stuff
better than that of which the public think
them made. There were as many more
who were not so jubilant. These were the
young men whose parents and friends
were worrying at their homes for their
blue -bloused darlings. But then this was
q case where duty was to do, and every
man Of them would be ready when the
bugle sounded the advance
1t would have unpleasantly thrilled the
. most unconcerned spectator to have seen
the preparations for what striker and
soldier and citizen believed, with surpris-
ing unanimity, was to be a short era of
carnage in the assertion Of the authority
Of the great Government against the
desperate protest of thousands strong in a
The morning call., 1894-07-11

Struggle for their bread and their very
life aud for those of moro thousands de-
pendent upon them.
There was remarkable show Of desper-
ate purpose. There was no boastiug
among those men down at the head
quarters of the leader, Knox. Men
of their stamp and in their position are
not greatly given TO loud-mouthed eX-
pressions of oyerconfidence. So deter
mined and desperate and full OF hght
for the great principle they had charged
themselves to defend were they that
far from empty boastiug they were
sufficiently reserved and cautious to
keep every detail of their plan Of
operations from eager listeners. No one
could hear their purpose. One could see
it, though, in the hurry of armed men, the
massing of crowds about the yards and
the general startling indications of develop
ments that would be numerous and full
Of danger. Sacks of ammunition were
carted quickly to the arsenal of the
striking trainmen, down near the depot.
Rifles, shotguns, pistols, knives-every-
thing in the weapon line that would count
for: success in a desperate conflict were
packed to the arsenal through the prin-
.cIpal streets and through back alleys
Whatever thoroughfare afforded the
easiest and quickest route TO Knox's
headquarters was taken advantage of.
The time had arrived when strikers left
all care for secrecy aside In the matter of
carrying firearms through the city.
Messengers were Immediately dispatched
