THE SITUATION AT OAKLAND
a Persistently Aggressive Campaign and
Increased Precautions by the Railroad

A Persistently Aggressive Campaign and
Increased Precautions by the Railroad
People.
OAKLAND, CAL, July 1.-THE per
sistency with which the strikers main.
tanned an aggressive campaign yester-
day was responsible for the increased
precautions on the part of the railroad
to-day. At an early hour this morning
the steamer Piedmont landed addi-
tional troops at Oakland mole. A de-
tachment of the First troop of cavalry
of the National guard, numbering fifty
men, and two companies of the naval
battalion were under marching orders
to assist Col. Geary of the Second ar
tillery regiment in guarding the lines
and yard of the Southern Pacific.
1t was very generally understood
that the railroad would make every
effort to open up it's overland service,
both by way of Ogden and Los An
geles, and that Pullman coaches were
to be carried as a part of the trains.
Extraordinary precautions were there
fore taken to prevent any possible
attempt of the strikers to interfere
with the arrival and departure OF
trains. Detachments of troops pa.
trolled the blocks, and Sixteenth
street, the favorite place of contention,
was fully guarded. All trains other
than local carried strong guard, but,
despite the threats and rumors of in.
reference, the overlands were started
with the usual complement of Pullman
sleepers and dining cars.
Overlands over the Central and South.
ern routes and the Oregon express, also
with Pullmans, were sent over theii
respective routes.
A large crowd collected at Sixteenth
street, many from motives of curiosity
and strikers with the intention of cap.
turing the train crew. When the train
pulled into the station body of strik
ers surrounded the engine and endeav'
ored by force of argument to cause the
fireman to leave his cab and join them
Excitement ran high, and for moment
it appeared that the scenes of yester
day would be repeated. The soldiers
charged the crowd, driving it back
and keeping it out of the limits until
the train again started for Port Costa

Debs to tell his union that the federal
government presents difficulties which
can only be removed by the ballot, and
go in for campaign of discussion. The

would do well to look out for.
THE railroad attorney employed to
help prosecute the Chicago strikers
says that Judge Grosscup's instructions
to the grand jury to investigate con-
spring railroad managers as well as
conspiring employees is only matter
of form. Perhaps so, but what is good
law against an humble offender is good
law against great one.

TO debate them before the Senate and
as one of these amendments provides for
a 40 per cent duty on petroleum when
coming from any country which i'm
poses duty on the American petroleum,
there will be q bitter fight on this

twice repudiated and which the House
has also refused to sanction.
There may be total collapse and the

a very slim one. Then again the Fourth
