Later Developments.
CHICAGO, July l0.-Ycsterday in Chi
cago passed without a serious conflict
between the rioters and the armed
forces now on duty here.
1t Looks wariIke.
SAN Francisco, July 1L-There are
many conservative men of affairs here
who fear and believe that to-day will
develop a desperate conflict between
federal soldiers and the striking A. X.
U. men and their allies. Sacramento
is the threatening point. The serious
ness of the situation is shown in
war-like precautions that the
army authorities have taken. Up
to IL o'clock yesterday morning
the federal authorities had made every
move in secret At about that hour
the big ferry steamer Alameda steamed
out from the Oakland mole and steered
directly across the bay to the Preside
ed a landing, and there was all the
noise and hustle of hasty embarka-
tion of horse and infantry. Two
troops of cavalry and five batteries Of
light artillery were rushed on board.
Gatling guns and two Hotchkiss
cannons were in evidence, and
Col. Graham. commandant at the Pre-
sidio, was personally in command Of
the expedition.
The publication Of President Cleve-
| lands proclamation extending the con-
ditions of martial law to California
caused intense excitement in Sacra-
mento, but yesterday afternoon when
it became positively known that Col.
Graham and his soldiers to the number
of over 300 were already en- route to re-
inforce the state troops at the state
capital the excitement there became
wild and ominous. The strikers grow
louder in their threats to resist any
further attempt of the troops TO clear
the railroad yards and depot, and their
leaders loudly proclaimed that the
Southern Pacific company would not
be permitted to move its trains
Nor were the hostile dem onstrations
confined to talk alone. Armed men
soon appeared upon the streets. AS II
in preparation for battle, they trans.
ferred their arms and ammunition
from their store house on J street to
their headquarters nearer the railroad
yards. No attempt at concealmen,
was made. The strikers marched
boldly through the streets bearing
their weapons on their shoulders, and
they were loudly cheered by hun
dreds of sympathizcrs. 1t is claimed
that the A. r. U. arsenal holds ut leas,
1, 600 rifles and shotguns and quantities
of ammunition. The strikers WHIT
came in on the train seized at Duns
muir brought in over 200 rifles whicl
they had collected at Dunsmuir. Ret
| To- a.
Truclee also brought in guns and am
munition. Yesterday afternoon
number of strikers were practicin,
with their rifles on the Yolo side of tn
river.
There are now over 1000 of thes
strikers in Sacramento to resist tn
federal and state troops. Flushed wit
their victory over the United State
marshals on Tuesday last and q com
plete victory over more than 1000 stat
militiamen on the following day, the
are in just the mood to resist tn
United States regulars to-day.
