The Strike at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-The strikers
have temporarily retired from the depot
and are massed at their headquarters
awaiting orders from Leader Knox. In
anticipation of regular troops being
called out, a number of Sacramento
strikers have been sent to Stockton to
blockade the road, also to warn the men
Of the approach of soldiers.
Their intention is to seize trains and
blo.k the road so that it will be some
time before troops will be able to pro-
ceed to this seige. In the meantime the
strikers at Sacramento will have been
warned Of the advent of the regulars
aud concerted efforts will then be made
to resist the troops.
The strikers are armed with winchest-
ers. Any attempt of the military to dis
lodge them will most certainly result in
bloodshed.
The leaders say that if the troops land
they will be allowed to move mail trains
with no interference, but that the troops
will not be able to conduct any other
business. It is still announced at head
quarters that the blockade will be main
tanned at all hazards.

A Committee Call. on Hopkins.

CHICAGO, July 10.-A committee OF
seven, appointed by the labor orders at
Uhlich's hall, called upon Major Hop
kins promptly at 10 o'clock. They
asked him to arrange for citizens COM
mittee drawn from influential business
men, which should undertake to force
Mr.. Pullman to submit to arbitration.
Mayor Hopkins referred them to the
committed appointed for this purpose by
the city council a week ago and ar
ranged to meet that committee at
1 O'Clock. They told the mayor
they were under orders to report early
Wednesday morning. The mayor has
called on the governor for another reg1-
ment of state troops.
The impression is general about mill
tary headquarters that the proclamation
Of the president, to say nothing CT the
firing Of the troops Saturday and Sunday,
has had a telling effect on the riot
GUS element, as we'll as on the
sensible people who have taken heed and
stayed away from the localities where
trouble is likely to occur. No serious
reports Of violence by mobs congregating
were received at General Miles office,
and this was taken as an indication that
the situation is generally quieter.

The State Press Association will hold
its annual meeting this year on Paw.
lays Island, which is situated in a
cove on the upper coast Of South Caro-
lima. not many miles from Georgetown.
This island is better protected
against storm and cyclone than any
other on our coast. and the surf bath
ing is said to be unsurpassed, while the
crabs, oysters and shrimp are to be
found in the greatest abundance. Thus
it will be recognized that the selection
of a place for the meeting is an ideal
one for editors. They escape from
political turmoil and find shelter in a
beautiful retreat, where candidates and
politicians are not allowed to disturb
their repose-in other words, ''w here
the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest" They will have
a splendid and unusual diet, highly
recommended for its genial influence
upon weaied brains, and which will
help to develop sufficient supply for
the balance of the campaign. Lastly,
they can bathe to their hearts content,
and editors seldom are surfeited on this
line-but here we draw the line and
forego any further suggestions.

IN THE SOUTH.
A Few Points Are Slightly Affected by the
Great Strike.


ATLANTA, July 10.-Reports from Bir-
mingham say: The situation here with
the railroad strike is very serious, and "A
companies, including an artillery COM
pany, are now Oh duty right in the heart
of the city. The waiting room of the
passenger depot is used as the place for
the guards, and sentinels are posted on
the main streets and about the railroad
tracks to see that all railroads are kept
clear for traffic.
All fremen ON the Queen and Cres-
cent road refused to pull the trains ex-
cept mail cars, and stepped off their
engines. Their places were filed by
officials Of the company. Some of the
engineers refused to go with these, aud
other officials took their places.
Governor Jones arrived at midnight
Saturday night and took in the situa-
ton, calling out IA companies OF the
state troops.
A special from Nashville says: There
is but little change in the strike situation
here All passenger trains on both the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
and the Louisville and Nashville went
cut with slight delay in two cases

service Of The United States army,whose
very presence is used to coerce and in
timidate peaceable working people into
q humiliating obedience to the will Of
their oppressors.
The address further says: "By your
acts, in so far as you have supplanted
civil and state authorities with the fed
eral military power, the spirit of unrest
and distrust has so far been augmented
that deep seated conviction is fast be-
coming prevalent that this government
is soon to be declared military despot-
ism.
After denouncing the "far-fetcheo'
decision Of Attorney General Olney, in
the matter of the sweeping injunction
against railway employees as ''un-Ameri-
cam and the employment of federal
troops as menace to the freedom Of the
laboring people, the president is called
upon to withdraw the military at once,
with the promise that the labor organi-
cations Of the country will do all in their
power to prevent lawlessness and appre-
hend and bring guilty parties to punish
ment.

The Tiliman- Evans faction of Re.
formers have much fun in tauntipg the
prohibitionists on account Of the open
and public sales Of whiskey. The pro-
hibi;ionists have no organization, no
money, no officers. As a general thing
they are poor men and good women
scattered here ard there and they are
blamed by these miscreant, dishonest
politicians, because they do not stop the
whiskey traffic. Tillmau and his
thirty-fve sherifs and three hundred
trial justices and two thousand deputies
and cons.ables are in favor Of free
liquor. Either by studied silence, or
active participation, they encourage the
sale of it, because free liquor is what
the Reformers wantat present. II Till
man, backed by all the constables he
wanted and by innumerable spies and
trial justices who were afraid to disobey
him. could not put down the unlawful
sale Of whiskey, it is most absurd to
expect a few scattered, unorganized pro-
hibitionists to do it.-Carolina Spartan.
