Criminal Outrage OF Colossal Di-
mansions.

Chicago. July 2.-Referring to the
railway strikes. the Tribune says in
part:
Debs has in effect told ali the railroad
companies that unless they joined the
war against a corporation which has
not offended them, the factories must
be closed for lack Of raw material, and
from inability to snip their finished
goods, and in that event great packing
houses and the live stock markets at
the stock yards must be shut up until
it is agreed that car building shall be
paid more than the work turned out
repays the employer.

could do would be to return 10 their

MRS. srANFoRD,s TRlP.
Ga1Iantry Displayed by the STRIKERS
Towards Her.

Dansmuir Cal, July "A felicitous
incident over the great strike on the
Southern Pacific system was witnessed
here To-Day. Mrs. Jane Stanford, widow,
of the late Leland Stanford, had been for
two days stranded in her private car
north OF here. The burning Of a trestle
on Sunday made it impossible for her car
to proceed. Today delegation of striz-
ing A. r. I. men proceeded to her car
with carriages, brought her TO this city
and put her on board another car that
the men had decked in bright cclcrs with
flags and bunting. A brass band headed
the party While a locomotive was being
coupled to the car Mrs. Stanford thanked
the men and assured them that We're her
husband living the present trouble on the
Southern Pacific would not have arisen.
Would this offer be made to Mr.. Hunt
ington?" asked Mrs. Stanford.
mo; Mr.. Huntington would not be al
lowed to even walk on this road" was
the answer by the spokesman for the
strikers.
When the car pulled out of Dunsmuir a
guard of strikers went along to see that
it should not fall into the hands of the
company's officials.

Denver, July ~2-Five companies Of
THE Seventh regiment, L. 5. A., under
the command of Colonel Ward and
Lieutenant Baker, left this morning on
a special train for Trinidad, where the
deputy marshals were disarmed yester-
day by a mob. They should arrive at
Trinidad at noon. The wires are cut
and no news has been received from
Trinidad since 10 o'clock last night.
The clerks Of the Union Pacific
freight Office struck at noon. 1t is ru-
mored that teiegraphers viii be called
out in support of the Pullman boycott
General Manager Dickinson, of the IN
ion Pacific, after learning that the en-
ployees in the Denver shops, the ma
jority Of whom are knights of Labor
had decided to remain neutral during
the strike, rescinded his order closing
the shops The men will work on half
time.
Fifty deputy marshals were on duty
in the railroad yards in this city to-
day. The strikers did not attempt in
any manner to interfere with the oper-
alton of the trains. Passenger trains
were made up by officials of the roads,
and sent out, as usual. No freight
trains were run.
The Santa F'e is in much better shape
than it was last week. All its regular
east-bound passenger trains were sent
out today according to schedule, and
several that had been delayed arrived.
The Santa F'e is not yet running trains
in New Mexico. The Colorado Midland
is having no trouble whatever. The
Denver 81 Rio Grande ran all trains
out of Denver, but was in trouble at
Pueblo and Salida, the striking points
on the road. A train was started west
from Pueblo this afternoon, the first
since Thursday and two others pulled
out shortly afterwards. The railroad
officials believe the strike at Pueblo is
broken.
The Gulf road expects to resume reg
ular train service as soon as the troops
restore order at Trinidad Two at
tenlpts were made today to move
trains out of Trinidad. but the strik-
ers drove the engineers and firemen
off and drew the fires. Late this af-
ternoon orders were issued from the
Gulf roads headquarters discharging
900 track layers, carpenters, etc, at
Trinidad and Pueblo, for whom there
is no work.
The strike of Union Pacific switch
men has interfered seriously with the
shelters, and it may become necessary
for them to shut down, owing to lack
of fuel, throwing a large number Of
men out of employment.
The Burlington road has experienced
no trouble here as vet.

or less embarrassed by the strike. and
many passenger trains are being
moved, as on the Pan Handle, under
heavy guards Of deputy marshals for
mail trains and deputy sheriffs for
other trains, in order TO get them
through thc strikers and symps thizers

The railroads have not altered their
position, the bulletin continues, and
