Situation Up to Date in the Windy
City.

Chicago, July business in Chicago
is nearly paralyzed as the result OF
the present labor difficulty.
Transfer via Chicago is entirely
blocked by the so-called A. R. U.
This business is freight exchange be-
tween all eastern and western roads
centering in Chicago, and so long as
the belt railway is tied up, the inter-
state business between eastern and
western lines cannot be moved.
It is absolutely necessary that this
channel of interchange of interstate
business should be kept open; other
wise, the roads must continue to be
paralyzed.

ALL BLOCKED AT LARAMIE.
Last Train to Leave Was Fired by :
Salt Laker.

Laramie, wy, July AT a meeting
this afternoon members of the Ameri-
can Railway union resolved to quit
work.
The order seems to have a miscel-
laneous membership here, including
some engineers. The result of the ac-
ton of the union is to stop everything
at this point.
No. /, west-bound, arriving. here at
S:40 this morning. was stopped by the

No. Z, west-bound, arrived on time
this evening, and was promptly side
tracked.
No. 8, east-bound, came in six hours
late and went on through to Cheyenne
with Engineer Barney McDevitt at the
throttle.
Some of the men gathered about com!
planned bitterly about him. Large
crowds of passengers are here. They
generally take the situation good
lnaturedly, though all express belief thai
the strike is without justification. One
feature of the situation is that there
are many poor persons on board, who
have not means of sustaining them,
selves through protracted delay.
The last train to reach Ogden from
the east was fired by a passenger, who
was anxious to reach the bedside Of his
sick father in Salt Lake.

San Francisco, July There seems
to be no improvement -oday in the
strike situation in California, and,
Judging by the occurrences of the past
twenty-four hours, even if the Southern
Pacific company succeeds in sending
out more trains from the Oakland
yards there is but little prospect that
they will proceed far on their way.
The Oregon express, which left Oak
land last evening, unmolested by strik-
ers, is now effectually stalled at Red
Bluff, and to make the situation worse,
over 200 feet of railroad trestle few
miles north of Dunsmuir was burned
last night, and it will take several days
to repair this damage before trains
can pass between here and Portland.
| It is claimed that the burning of the
! trestle is the work Of strikers, but that
| fact is not established yet, and there is
another report that the trestle was
| fired by woodchoppers who had been
crowded out of employment by Italians
and Chinese. AS soon as the fire was
reported at DunSmuir, this morning,
the local members OF the American
Railway union sent a large force of
men to extinguish the flames. They
| also placed guards at other exposed
bridges and trestles and cleared the
town of a number Of suspicious char
tacterS.
| The strikers have already commenced
interference with railroad property at
Red Bluff When the Oregon train ar
rived there early this morning, it was
stopped just outside of the town by q
danger signal, and when an attempt
was made to start again, it was found
that the track was creased and further
Investigation showed that it was
creased for distance of eight miles.
The train managed to get to the sta
ton, and then it was boarded by strik-
ers, who cut the train in three sections
and left it on the main track.
The two deputy marshals who ac-
icompanied the train wee

from the tanks, and secured the
IswitcheS with padlocks. The train
could proceed no further.
The Los Angeles express, which left
Oakland last night, likewise failed to
breach its destination. 1t went as far
as Fresno last might, but the fireman
deserted there. A few hours later an
other fireman was obtained and the
train made a second start, going as
far as Bakersfield, when it was again
Istalled. The railroad officials have ev-
lidently abandoned the idea of moving

Scrutiny Is Converted Into an Open

New York, July IA Berlin dispatch
says: The scandal caused by the arrest
of Royal Chamberlain Won Kotz and the
rumors OF his anonymous correspondence,
has grown to such dimensions and hal
so excited public curiosity that the EN-
peror has been forced to convert the
Scrutiny into an open trial.
The documents produced by the wit

gushing and libelous letters, which GER
tainly suggest the insanity OF the writer.
Some of those communications ms nu-
ate that the emperor was intimate with
Countess Hohena. The count is said to
have demonstrated with his wife, and in
formed her that she must check the en-
peror's open Partially for her. The coun-
tess was induced to treat the emperor
coolly, and when questioned as to ths
reason is said to have informed the EN-.
peror of her husbands interference. The
KotZ story continues thus:
The emperor enraged by the counts
presumption, vowed he would have re
venge, and soon after. at a military re.
view on the Templehofer field told tn:
count he would forthwith be transferred
to Hanover, that is that he and his wife
would be exiled from court.
The count is the son of Prince Albrecht
of Prussia, by a morganatic marriage
with Miss Iiaub, and, therefore, is {
cousin of the emperor.
