officials of the company took things as
philosophically as possible in one OF the

headlights served only to poke holes OF
light here and there in the gloom. wnlle
the tapping of the water on the piles made
melancholy noises. There was sort OF
fagged.out feeling early in the evening"
but along about 10 o'clock little stir was
noticeable. The gong that sounded from
the dispatcher's Office several times de-
noted important news for the chiefs.
Several of these who live in Oakland
were sent for and it was whispered again
that the company would make an effort TO
get out mail train before dawn and that
they would have the assistance of United
States troops, which would land at the
mole after midnight. The stir subsidized
somewhat after this. The officials returned
to their car in consultation. The gloom
seemed to deepen. the headlights to dim.
The waves Tapped on the piles in an even
more melancholy monotone and midnight
came, but no regulars.

WEAVING A STRONG WEB.
Important Evidence in the Sanders
Forgery Case.

FRESNO, July 5-No new develop pments
in the Sanders forgery case were developed
day. Detective A. B. Lawson was re-
called to the stand and questioned regard
ing the warrant he swore out, charging
Sanders with the murder of Wootton.
j. NJ. Beatty aud Harry Ambrose OF Bar
stow swore they saw Professor Andrews
in Barstow on March L. Beatty was
positive that it was Profess Andrews,
as he was personally acquainted with him.
Several other persons also testified to
the fact. W. Ii. Mckenzie of the Fresno
Loan and Savings Bank, where Wootton
transacted his business. testified as to
Woolton's signature. Papers contain
ing the German signature of Wootton
were submitted TO him and he
pronounced them genuine. The alleged
forged draft was submitted. and he de-
c)ared it was a forgery, as were also the
signatures of letters written after Woot-
toms disappearance. Mckenzie went into
minute details of how the genuine and
forged signatures differed.

KNOX STATES HIS TERMS.
Conditions Upon Which the Men
Will Break the Strike.

SACRAMENTO, July 5.-A meeting of the
Business Mems Protective Association was
held at Pioneer Hall this afternoon for
further consideration of the situation.
After general expression of views. and for
the purpose of securing all avail
able information to arrive at
satisfactory conclusion of the cor
rect condition of affairs, it hav-
ing been stated that the executive CON-
mittee of the American Railway Union
was ready and willing to attend the citi-
zens' meeting and be heard, it was decided
to extend an invitation to the committee
to appear. In accordance with the invita-
ton the committee responded promptly
and freely anG fully stated their positions
in the questions at issue.
Mr.. Knox, the chairman, stated that the
present position of the strikers was:
FIst-That the strike would not be
raised unless the Pullman company con-
sented to return of the wages paid to its
employees and as existing in 1893
Second-Thst the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn abrogate their contract with the Pull
man company. and if need be, purchase
the interest of the Pullman company in
their sleeping cars. etc., and entirely OBJ
literate the name of Pullman; and, coupled
with the last condition. that all tranmen
and shOpmen of the Southern Pacific Rail.
road system be restored TO their respective
positions occupied by them before the
strike.
Third-That they are willing to trans
port mail and express matter. but that
alone. declining TO eOncede that the pas
senger and fleight service is any part Of
the mail train, and that passengers and
| freight cannot be hauled, even though
there be no Pullman coaches attached
Mr. Knox assured the citizens that, so
far as his organic was concerned and
his influence extended. it was their desire
to cooperate with all good citizens in
avoiding any conflict of any kind and so
far as lay in their power TO preserve the
peace, avoid any acts of violence and to
protect all property.
To the end that prompt action might be
taken in the matter of future counsel, it
was decided to raise an executive commit
tee of citizens to be composed of nine
business men. The executive committee
was directed to formulate plan for a per-
manent organization. The organization
will work along such lines as must enlist
the sympathy and cooperation of every
business man in the city.

GENERAL DIMoND RETURNS.
Says the Militia Did Not Lay Down
Their Arms.

He who was said to have been disgusted
and disgruntled, who was said to have
| seen his soldiers lay down their arms and
refuse to obey him, returned to his divi-
sion headquarters last evening with his
head as erect and his carriage as strong as
a man of over so years could own to in the
proudest hours of lifetime. His name
was General Dimond, maior-general in
command of the National Guard of Cali
fornia. He arrived with his orderies and
staff officers by the s o'clock boat from
Sacramento. and slipped in by side en-
trance to the Occidental Hotel. where his
chief Uf staff and other personal followers
were awaiting him.
For two hours he remained closely
closeted and was in accessible to interview
ers. Eventually there came out from the
deliberations typewriter statement
from the general explaining the recent
affair at Sacramento and giving the gen.
erals reasons for the failure of the militia
TO accomplish the dispensing of the strik-
ers. 1t was in effect as follows:
"The press accounts OF the trip of the
regiments to the ca pital were substantially
correct. But the story of the doings after
arrival at Sacramento should be stated in
this manner:
'On arrival at Sacramento the first sec
tion of the train stopped at Twenty-first
street. on order of the adjutant-general,
through General Dickinson. General
Dimond being in the sec md section, wlth
no communication with the first, ne was
met by Marshal Baldwin. with General
Allen and General SheehaD, ana informed
that breakfast had been prepared for the

Dimond announced before he left that he
would communicate with the military au-
thorities here, and in measure direct
things.
General Dickinson received no orders or
instructions from the division commander.
but Will exercise command yer his troops
at the Capitol grounds and continue under
the command of General Sheeban.
The departure of General Dimond so
suddenly has been commented upon, and
IN some Instances without opinions very
near the truth. The fact is that the divi-
sion commander went to San Francisco for
the purpose of better directing the opera
tions OF the companies still in that city
when they shall probably be called out to
suppress riotous proceeding in that vi
cinty.
Mayor B. q. Steinman received tonight
what ls believed to be reliable information
about the probable termination of the
great strike now in progress. This infor-
nation Is to the effect that there is con-
siderable probability that the Southern
Pacific Company will within day or two
accept proposition to secure title to the
remaining quarter of its Pullman stock
and thus own the system. 1t is under
stood here generally that this course will
be pursued. and tie name of the Pullman
system changed so that the conclusion of
the strike may be effected. Railroad
officials here seem to know nothing of it,
but the information is counted on about
town as correct.
The report that Lieutenant-Colonel
Bush OF the First Infantry is seriously
i'll is not true Bush weakened under the
broiling sun yesterday and was taken
from the depot, but to-day he has been
about and attending to duty.

ANOTHER STORY.
Each of the Leaders Now BIames
the Other.

There is considerable discussion over
yesterdays meeting between the soldiery
and strikers in the matter of the order to
fire on the strikers and reasons why the
order was not obeyed.
The fact appears to be that the order to
begin firing was never given. 1t was in
tended to be given, but no one among those
high enough In authority cared to give it..
General Sheehan, who had com N and of the
troops, would not fire without written
order from his superors. The matter
then rested with General Dimond and
Marshal Baldwin, and neither of these
gentlemen desired to undertake the re-
sponsbility.
General Dlmond asserted that Baldwin
was the person to state that firing should
be commenced, and Baldwin declared that
he had no power to take such extreme
measures. Consequently and happily for
every one present there was no firing.

trict Attorney Garter that he is unable to
successfully cope with the situation here
with the assistance of the State troops and
requesting the District Attorney to take
the necessary steps to cause the interven-
tion of the National Government
In compliance with this request, the in
formation further goes, the District Attor-
ney has communicated statement to the
War Department to this effect, coupled
with further particulars as to the situa-
tion here, and requesting that orders be
issued to General RugeI to take the field.
District Attorney Garter when seen last
evening, positively refused to either con-
firm or deny the accuracy of the above
telegram. He stated that it would be
manifestly imprudent for one in his posi-
ton to give out any information upon the
subject at this juncture.
General Ruger was found at the Palace
Hotel. and In conformity with the extreme
caution which has characterized his every
utterance since the trouble began, he re-
fused to discuss any phase of the situation.
"a man in official position should never
give anything to the papers unless be him
self prepared il beforehand and affixed his
own signature thereto" said the general.
There has been too much talking done
already"
The general expressed his opinion. how
ever. that the present situation was a
lamentable one. and from his remarks as
to the. extent words have played in the
present contest the assumption was that
he was not in sympathy with a policy OF
inactivity.
Up to late hour there were no surface
indications that an order had yet been re-
ceived for the regulars to move. and 1t Is
probable that it will not be issued until

TO KILL THE TRANSIT.
The Big Freight Boat, However, Es.
capeS to the Citv.

capes to the City.
After killing the engines on the mole the
strikers returned 10 great feather to their
headquarters at Wood street. Sam Rogers,
who had been the leader of the mornings
descent on the mole was the hero of the
hour, but discreetly kept in the back
ground. Neither President Roberts, Vice
President Fink or any of the officers of
the A. R. U. were to be seen in the crowd
that visited the mole. A rumor was
started that the company intended TO take
the steamer Transit TO San Francisco and
get live engine there to replace the
eighty-four killed on the local system. In
fact the Transit was getting up steam.
About o'clock body of strikers started
from The headquarters to the slips where
the Transit lay at the foot of Peralta street
They walked hard. Their intention was
to kill the big transportation boat as they
had killed the engines. A great disap-
pointment was in store for them. just as
they reached the slips the Transit pulled
out, and with whole volley OF defiant
whistles steamed on her way across the
bay. The strikers camped there thinking
that the boat was coming back, but she
didn't. The reason was tnat the steamer
was taken over to lie up at San Franci SEQ.
When Superintendent Wilder was told
that the men expected the steamer back
and were awaiting her at the slips he
said For Gods sake don't tell them that
she is not coming back. AS long as they
are camped there they'll be out OF mis-
chief"
The strikers were incensed at the asser-
tion of Mr. Wilder that he was afraid the
steamer would be burnt. They pointed to
the fact that they have as yet destroyed no
property, and that in killing the engines
they had only let the steam off and the
W ater run out.
Shortly before the strikers started for
the Transit's berth two engines were seen
to start out from the Alameda mole along
the narrow gauge toward town. A howl
of rage went up from the strikers. Righ
in the middle of the howl they stopped
short. The engines had stopped. Pres
emily clouds of white smoke enveloped
each, and then the strikers at West Oak
lan0 cheered. Both engines had been
killed. One was No. II and the other 20.
They were left standing in the middle of
the long mole a short distance apart.
Another narrow-gauge engine was killed
at Fourteenth street. Master Mechanic
Mckenzie estimates that eighty-four en-
gines have been killed. Some of them,
ike the two on the mole, are in position
where it will be hard to start them up.
The train stopped at Sixteenth street still
lies there. The Alameda broad gauge is
solitary and deserted at the Oakland mole.
The LODI train is at East Oakland. and the
Davisvile that came in Wednesday night
is stuck at San Leandro. So far the strik-
ers are masters in every direction. They
are very jubilant, but they are keeping
very sober. II is remarka BILE fact that
no men under the influence of liquor have
been seen among the strikers.

BOMBS IN NEW YORK.
They May Have Been Intended for
George NJ. Pullman.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Within the past
four days two bombs have been taken to
police headquarters. having been found in
places where their explosion meant great
loss of life and extensive damage 10 prop
erty. The first bomb was found on Mon
day, and after being inspected was sent to
the Bureau of Comhustibles. Whether
the bombs were meant for shipment or to
work destruction here is not known. The
fact that Mr.. Pullman has been in this city
and is now at Long Branch lends some
degree of pr obabiIity to the latter theory.

of things here by some manner of arbitra-
ton. The situation was talked over earn
estly, but nothing more was done.
Rumors are rife about town of the ap-
proach of the regular army troops and
more militia, but nothing can be found TO
Substantiate them. They are doubtless
fanciful and are not much regarded.
SACRAMENTO, July 6, 12:45 A. M.-The
soldiers are sleeping peacefully at this hour
and all is quiet There are plenty of strik-
ers at the depot, as they never desert it.
