They Cause tho Wreck of Train and the
Death of -Four Mon.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. For over
twenty-fcur hours United States regulars
have been OF the field in northern Cali
fornia, but the railroad blockade has not
been broken In fact, the situation today
is deemed more serious than it has been at
any time heretofore
Human life has been sacrificed at Sacra-
mento in a horror which the strikers are
accused of having perpetruted 1t is clear
that the strikers realize the folly Of
openly resisting the Ustted States army
as they have resisted nil municipal and
state authorities, and that the barbarous
and more deadly tactics of guerilla war
fare are to be resorted to.
Twice during yesterday the troops were
ambushed. The first assack from under
cover was early in the morning. At 6
O'Clock Colonel Graham landed in Sacra-
mento with force of over 800 regulars
No effort was made to resist their pro-
gress. The troops marched direct to the
Southern Pacific depot and took posses
sion of the buildings aud railroad yards
A few hundred people gathered at the
depot dispersed when ordered to do So AT
the wharyes detachment of state militia
had been left to guard the water front
The regular troops were no sooner out of
sight Than tits httlA land of militiamep

was fired upon with rifles by a force OF
some twenty-five men who were concealed
in the bushes on the opposite side of the
river. The militiamen returned the fire, and
about 200 shots were exchanged across the
river before tine attacking party fed. A
Japanese boy who stood on the river bank
was killed by bullet from the militia.
None of the attacking party were appre-
hended.
Under cover of the United States troops
the railroad officials went into the yards
and resumed work unmolested. The tracks
were cleared and trains were made up. At
noon n train was dispatched for Oakland
under strong militia guard. Among the
crowds of strikers in the streets there
were men who openly boasted that the
train would never reach Oakland, but no
one thought they spoke knowingly.
An hour later, when the news came
back to Sacramento of q horrible railroad
wreck, these same men were as loudly de-
nying that the men were strikers who had
sawed away the supports Of the railroad
bridge. The disaster at the bridge caused
the railroad company to cease its efforts
to move trains out of Sacramento. Until
the wreckers now at work shall have re-
paired the damage to the trestle no trains
can be run over that line.
The latest information in regard to the
wreck Is that the strikers sawed the sup
ports Of the trestle, but left the rails in
tact. As soon as the train went on the
bridge it was dltched, and the strikers i'm
mediately opened p y from ambush with
Winchesters. Ths> SsR1 are Engineer
Samuel b. Clark AID three private SOL
ders named Byrne, Lubberding and
Clark. The wounded are: Private Daum-
lar in iuraI nj ho hand. I1riyota tUi1-
son, left leg seriously lacerated; Private
Dugan, left arm cut off; Private Ellis, in
ternally injured. General Graham has
dispatched troop Of cavalry to the scene.
The city is practically under martial
law. Sheriff O'Neil last night arrested
S. ID. Worden on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the derailment of the train. He
has been quite prominent in labor circles,
and was recently sent as delegate to the
Chicago convention. The sheriff has also
arrested g. G.. Green, William Burt and
II. II. Bodner, alleged strikers, for COM
plcity in the wrecking of the train.
At Oakland the outlook was also war
like. The railroad officials were making
preparations early in, the day to start
trains simultaneously with those sent out
from Sacramento. After the fulf force of
deputies had arrived band of strikers
charged into the yards. After all the en-
gines that had been run out were killed
the strikers withdrew. Then came news
of the disaster near Sacramento. When
Division Superintendent Wilder heard
that the train had been wrecked he stop
ped further preparations.
"We want to know where we stand, he
said, before we go ahead. II bushwhack-
ing is now to prevail we do not propose
to send our men out and jeopardize their
lives"

Them Under the Bill Which Passed the
National House.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The senate is
making up for lost time and is now dis
posing Of the appropriation bills at a
rapid rate. The record for yesterday is
three-the diplomatic and consular, the
invalid pension aud the military academy
appropriation bills. The strike question
again agitated the placid serenity of tho
senate. After an hours debate in which
the firmness, courage and patriotism Of
the president were commended by all,
Mr.. Daniels resolution briefly indorsing
the presidents action and pledging him
the sympathy and support of the nation
was adopted as "A substitute for Senator
Petfer's resolution.
BY virtue of tho adoption of a special
order the house was enabled to reach a
vote on the McRae land grant forfeiture
bill yesterday afternoon, and it was passed.
The bill amends the act of Sept go, 1890,
which in substance declared the forfeit
ure to the United States of lands hereto
fore granted to states and corporations to
aid in the construction of railroads to the
extent only of lands opposite to and coter-
minous with the portions of such rail-
roads as were not completed and operated
at that date. The bill passed yesterday
extends the forfeiture to the portions Of
the several railroads to aid in the con-
struction of which the grants were made,
which were uncompleted when the time
expired within which the roads were re-
spectlvely required to be completed by
the several laws making the grants. 1t
involves portions of the grants of twenty
five roads, the principal one of which is
the Northern Pacific and will restore to
the public domain about 54,000,000 acres.
A proviso was added to the bilrso as to
prevent it from being construed to for
felt the right of way or station grounds
of any company and also confirms to pur-
chasers in good faith from such railroads
the title to lands, not in excess of 800 acres
to each holder. An effort was made by
Mr.. Hartmann, of Montana, to remove
the 800 acres limitation on purchase titles,
but this was defeated.

that she will have their moral support in
