Grim-visaged war has smoothed his
wrinkled front, SO far as this city is con-
cerned, but there is yet work for United
States Marshal Baldwin. who is quietly
rounding up the men who took part in
the work of obstructing the mails, etc.,
early in the campaign. There is also
work for the military at other points
along the various railroad lines, and
troops will be supplied from this point
from time to time as their services may
be required.
Those of the strikers who were promi-
nent in the assault on Marshal Baldwin
on the Sd inst, in the uncoupling of trains
and other acts of violence and intimida-
ton. were warned at the time that they
were "bucking" against the Federal
Government and that the frowning walls
of the Government prison on Alcatraz
Island were waiting to receive them. But
they only laughed at the newspapers and
continued to defy the President and his
power.
Marshal Baldwin was not asleep all this
time. While the strikers, drunken and
half-crazed with the idea that they had
gained the upper hand Of the Government
and cowed the people, were planning all
sorts OF deviltry, the Marshal was put
ting In his time on making up list OF
the men whom he intended to take before
the United States Grand Jury in San
Francisco. Now that things have Quieted
down here he is casting his lariat about
their necks and taking them into camp.
Another charge has been placed against
James h. Sims, who was arrested the
- - h. Fr,ff 4
States mail. He Is now accused OF hav-
ing taken part in the cutting OF the air
hose on the Folsom train at the Buffalo
Brewery last week.
Jack Harris, another of the strikers,
has been arrested on charge OF con-
spiracy.
A complaint has been sworn to by
Marshal Baldwin against j. D. Hilton for
lntimidating A. w. Knowland, work
man in the shops.
George Wise is charged with obstruct-
ing the mails, and Eugene Post with
threatening to kill men who had returned
10 work.
Wise has given bail in the sum of $1,000.
but Post and Hilton have been sent 10
San francisco.
MEN IN THE SHOPS.
Yesterday there were $40 men at work
in the various departments at the railroad
applications for places. Allowing for
the outsiders who were put at work be-
lore the strike was declared of, this
would leave in the neigh borhood of a
couple OF hundred only who are hope
1essly out of employment
These constitute the element that is in
sisGng the strike is still on and that they
''wllI not surrender" just what they
have to surrender, or who asks them to
surrender, it would puzzle even their
astute legal advisers to point out.
COLONEL GRAHAM.
The quiet, but firm and soldierly de-
meanor Of Colonel Graham ever since he
came here in command of the Federal
troops, has won for him the admiration
and respect of the better class of people
in the community. He assured the gem
tlemen who paid him a social visit the
other day that the people of the city
might rest easy by day or night. without
fear Of harm from any evil-disposed per-
sons.
He said he had come here to reopen the
bloekaded avenues of commerce, and the
President and General Ruger had placed
at his command the available forces of
the Government wherewlth to enforce
obedience to the laws. He was deter
mined to do his work thoroughly, and
would see that there was no more injury
done to railroad or private property, and
no violence would be permitted upon
private citizens.
The public fully appreciates the vigor-
Gus manner in which Colonel Graham
put down the local rebellion, and he and
his gallant officers and men will always
have warm places in the hearts OF the
people of Sacramento.
THE STATE TROOPS.
at meeting held in the Governors
Office yesterday there were present Gov
ernor Markham, Major-General Dimond,
Adiutant- General Allen, General Shee-
han and United States Marshal Baldwin.
1t was decided to withdraw the troops
of the National Guard of California which
had been in service, and partially replace
them with troops which had not yet been
ordered out.
Governor Markham said he was very
anxious to return all State troops at the
earliest possible moment in order to save
expense. At the same time he does not
want troops withdrawn from points
where there is any indication whatever
of trouble.
The Governor has been doing great
deal of work in quiet manner in order
TO bring the strike TO an end, but he has
not trumpeted his doings to the world.
Those who have been close to him know
something of how much he has done,
however. He responded to every call
and need for State troops and supplies
while at Pasadena and since his arrival
here. and has been in hourly touch by
wire or in person with all his officers as
Commander-in-C Chief. He has directed,
also all the orders and movements of the
troops into service.
He has not antagoniZed the strikers,
and was thus able to aid very greatly in
bringing about the strike otf'' order OF
Saturday last, which he felt ought to come
ch "a
long before.
The Governor has at no time, how
ever-says one of his staff-given a par
ticle of comfort TO the strikers. but dl-
rectly the contrary. He has freely ad-
vised with them, and his advice was
largely adopted by them.
The Governor preferred to be known
in the matter by his acts; his action has
been to put and keep in the field large
force of the National Guard in response to
the Tequisition. made for it. TO enforce the
laws and keep the strikers within legal
limits.
He has constantly kept himself in de-
fail informed concerning the Guard, its
conduct, its discipline and its support in
The military men all agree that the
Governor has done everything that he
could to preserve order and aid in the en-
forcenent of the law and in cooperating
,S,;th the Federal officers and troops to
that end.
The following disposition Of the troops

Oakland and TIuckee has been decided
Ceneral Dickinson, commanding the
Second Brigade, his staff and the First
and Third Infantries and Light Battery
A are ordered to return to their respective
