AT Cedar street a Calling gun was
: placed facing up the street, from which

made Another was planted to command
: Peralta street. No one was allowed to
: pass the liae of soldiers, who mounted
guard, with bayonets fixed. De-
. spite, however, their grim looks and the

guns crowd of strikers and curious per-
: SONS gathered at Cedar street and other
places and guyed and jeered the troops all
day long to their hearts content.
No demonstration Of violence OF any
kind was made, however. The presence
= Of the big military force overawed the
strikers and they kept quiet. The blue
:: Jackets on the Alameda landed for two
3; hours riot drill at the depot in the morn
ing For that purpose the depot was
cleared and the men went through their

away from their close quarters on the

all day, But few people travelled by tie

when they were fairly filed, the people
gradually getting over their fear of acct

gauge despite Superintendent Wilder's
premise Of the previous day that the local
service should be running.
A broad gauge local TO Alameda was run

street, local of the Berkeley lines was as

that lhe strikers had placed the switches
in such condition that it took all day to
get them into any sort of order A wreck

Ramon train, promised TO 90 out at 4:30
P. NJ, did not leave, and at last it was
given out from the depot that no trains
could be- run, but that the service would
be started to-day. As to overland trains
Mr. Wilder has ceased to promise anything
about them, and it is hardly possible to say
wien any will leave. 1t is hard to get
crews, and the strikers are just as defer
mined as ever to keep them from reaching
their destination if they do 90 out of

But few strikers we're seen on the streets
