that at least 600 will report for duty TO-

men-experlenced men, but new to this
division, where we use heavy engines
we are putting two fremen on each en-
glne until they get broke in. This will
prevent the necessity of tieIng up trains
on account of Overworked firemen.

Have you heard the rumOrs that the
strike is TO be declared off by the Rail-
way UnionY" asked the reporter,
Yes, y replied Mr.. Fillmore, ST have
had it intimated TO me that the strike
would be declared Oft within forty-eight
hours, but 1t makes no difference to us.
So far as the railroad company is con-
cerned, the strike is off now. We do not
care one iota whether they declare it OFF
or not"
TROOPS FOR PORT COSTA.
On Wednesday the railroad company
paid off its employees at Port Costa. The
distribution OF considerable money
among the men enabled many of them TO
get drunk, and under the influence of
liquor they became ugly and trouble
some. A number of the more turbulent
strikers who had been crushed in Oak
land had also gone there TO arouse the
men, and it was deemed advisable to
send body OF troops to keep them in
subjection.
Accordingly, Company C, Second In
fantry, of Nevada City, arrived IN this
city on the COlfax local at 2:40 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and they left for
their destination on the 3:05 O'Clock train.
The company, which is one of the Oldest
in the National Guard, and is composed
of splendid material, was under the COM
mand OF Lieutenant Bowerman. There
were fifty enlisted men in the company.
Major w. W. Douglas OF General Shee-
hans staff, Major a. NJ. seymour, Second
Infantry Battalion. Adjutant /. A. Robie
and Captain William J. Hanna, Assistant
Surgeon, accompanied the men from here.
