the following further particulars:
Last night at 7 80 o'clock the engine of
the through train left Cazadero to 60 to the
second bridge over Austin Creek to look
out for trouble and pull driftwood away
that had accumulated. When it arrived at
the first bridge the engineer. fireman and
conductor walked over the bridge to see
that 1t was safe. AT that time the water
was up to the cap on the bridge and rush
ing under it at a terrible velocity.
Conductor Brown told his engineer he
did not consider the bridge safe, as the
water was too high. and ordered him to
remain where he was while he (the con-
ductoG walked to the next bridge When
about half mile away he heard some one
cry for help from the creek. He immedi-
ately returned to the first bridge and found
two bents in the middle Of the structure
were gone. The water was so high the
engine could not be seen, nor was any
trace of its occupants visible.
Austin Creek is higher than it has been
for two years. The road is all right from
SausalitO to Kidd Greek. The bents that
were carried out of the bridge south of
Howard station will be repaired so that
they can be run over in the morning
About fifty feet OF the approach to the
second bridge on Austin Creek was also
washed out Will have the road from
Kidd Greek to Cazadero all right by Fri
day. 1t will be impossible to do anything
with the engine until the water goes
down."
President Stetson is at loss to account
for the evident failure of the engineer to
follow the instructions given him by Con.
ductOr Brown just before'the latter started
on ahead to look over the road.
1t is thought. however, that the men on
the engine gave the bridge a superficial
examination. and thinking it capable of

Great Northern strike went into effect
1T st. Paul and Minneapolis and at all
points on the line from this city to the
coast. Within five, minutes after the
committee had arrived at the decision
\ to call all the men out the order had
been sent out by President -Debs, and
the fight is now in dead earnest. The
company claims that it has sufficient
men now in its service who will remain
at work, while the American Railway
union assert just the contrary. r.
The strike, if as successful IN tying
up the entire road as it has been Ill
blockading a major portion, will be,
with possibly one exception, the great
est fight ever made by organized lacor,
both as to territory covered and the
number of persons affected. The Great
Northern's total mileage is close to 4, 500
miles with shops and full equipment,
all of which the A. r. U. claims to be
able to tic up. Spurred on by President
Hills refusal to recognize the A. Il. U.
as representative body, the managers
of the strike will make every effort to

Everything in ST, Paul is tied up
tighter than wax, :. There are 1900

and it has been generally promulgated
there has not been a single refusal to
obey. Minneapolis is absolutely solid.
In st. Paul shortly after. - o'clock, and
on receipt of the striking order, $50
men quit work. The general. freight,
yards are. deserted, the only man re.
manning on duty being the watchlnan,
who was allowed to remain; in. Much
confusion prevails in the yards in st:
Paul, as Great Northern engines and
cars are mixed up with those Of other
lines and not wheel is turning.
The strikers have appointed guards
for the railroad property, both day and
night, there icing eight men on each
crew. The strike extends to all classes,
from the engineers to dining car service.

Mr.. HILLS OPINION.

Great Northern President, Says He Can
rams: Get Enough Men. ..:.f
ST. PAUL, April 27.-Directly after
the order for a general strike had been
issued, President Hill stated that he
had little to say inaddition to what had
been previously said. The company, he
said, proposed to operate its road
independent Of the American Railway
Union. -..
Il do not Think said MI: Hill, "that
! any great proportion OF the men will
obey the order, and I do not anticipate
any difficulty in getting men to operate
the trains. I intend that every wheel
on the line shall he running in as short
time as possible, and this latest move
of the committee does not seriously
alter the situation so far as the com.
pany is concerned" - .rs
:, An Interview With Debs.
y President Debs was asked the situa-
ton at noon, when the committee adj
,journed, and said:
y, .'The strike is declared ON, over the
entire line, and every member of the
American Railway Union will at once
quit work. . This order, of course,
applies to St. Paul and Minneapolis"
a 1.-THE conference with Mr.. Hill dur
ing the morning was then without re-
sultg" al -..-
"That conference was simply to talk
over some matters upon which we
thought Mr.. Hill might throw some
light; it was really going over again
of the ground which was travelled. be-
fore, and the committee reiterated its
demands for complete restoration of
the old schedule as the only basis upon
which the men would 60 to work. The
conversation with Mr.. Hill was carried
on pleasantly, but without the effect of
bringing US any nearer together"
