senger and freight trains and the North
ern Pacific is gradually perfecting it's
overland service. The passenger train
which left here on Saturday passed
Billings this morning on time, making
much better progress than any of its
predecessors. Another overland train
will be sent out this afternoon, as there
seems to be no obvious reason why all
through trains should not go to Portland
without difficulty For the present
through freight is not being moved west

est in the situation, aside from the kill.

officials report five switch engines at
work this morning, and that freight is
moving on all lines as before the strike
No switching is being done at night as
yet. All the night work, for the most
part consists in transferring cars Of
wheat, and as the mills cannot receive
any grain on account of the inability of
the transfer company to do business,
night switching has been abandoned

Howard and Keliher will be arrested on
the charge of contempt of court and that
they will be refused bail and will be COM
PEELED to remain in Jail until their trial.
There was no trouble in the city to-day.
The strike situation at the town of Pull
man appears to be growing more serious
for the strikers. It is the general opin-
ion that if the works of the Pullman
company are opened tomorrow there will
| be stampede of the men to get their
| old positions. During the last twenty.
four hours the views of the strikers have
undergone a marked change, and where
previously they were talking about how
the fight was won to-day little groups of
workingmen talked of how they had lost
the fight.
Chicago, July 1G.-The American Rail-
way union officials have determined to.
make desperate struggle to regain for
| that order the prestige it has lost in the
great strike now rapidly approaching a
close. The executive board of the union
held a meeting, the object of which was
to map out a course for the future. After
| q lengthy discussion it was decided to-
send out <'revivalists' to all important
been sent out Saturday and it was de-
| VIVA
'"The names of those sent out Saturday
will not be given OUT, said President
! Debs to a reporter, ''for fear of their bc-
ing arrested for melting strike
1t was learned elsewhere, however.
that Director Kern was sent to st. Louis.
to rally the forces there. Hogan was.
sent out over the Northern Pacific to
stir up the employees of that company,
and Goodwin was sent over the North
western line to use his influence with the
employees of that system, and if possible
to induce them to go out. These dele
gates are all members of the executive
board of the union. Other emissaries
were sent out to work with the employees
of the many lines entering this city.
After this meeting adjourned an en-.
thusiostic meeting was held at Ulrich's
hall OH North Clark street, President
Debs presiding. He made a rousing
speech, reminding one of the early days
Of the strike.
'"The strike,'' said he, "is now-iiyht
now-more prosperous and more -nro'lr-
aging than ever before. We can and
must win. The men who have gone back
to work will again come back 10 us aid

"The strike is weaker IN Chicago Than
elsewhere con tl,ued Debs, "but It Will
grow stronger, just as in tl:e West It is
growing stronger every hour
Fifteen meetings were held in different
parts Of the city during the afternoon and
evening yesterday, several of which were
addressed by Debs. He will to-day give
out a statement in answer TO the one
made by Pullman.
Mr.. Pullman's letter. said he, in en-
Interview, SIS the silliest and most foolish
letter on such subject thu: ever SAW,
and shall make such an answer to it
as will make him one Of the most despic-
able persons on earth.' ~
