On the Southern Paclhc at san
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-By
order of President Debs, Of the
American Railway union, a general
strike is in effect on the Southern
Pacific, and the entire system is
paralyzed today. Even the South
ern Pacific ferry service across San
Francisco bay is badly Grip
pied. Suburban trains are not
running. Many people living
in more remote suburbs absolutely
cannot reach the city. There is no
doubt the officials of the Southern
Pacific are amazed at the remark
able strength Of the American
Railway union. General Manager
Towne, however, declares the COM
pany will not recede from the
stand taken by President Hunting
ton.
The strike has not yet extended
to the Atlantic system, which be-
gins at Ell Paso, Texas, but 1t is
thought this system will also be
tied up by tomorrow.

length across the bench, kissing and
thrashing In a wild increasing frenzy.
Like lightning the supple body cOiled
around the equally active rats, but a
dozen sharp teeth left mark where the
circle began. In a few seconds the ro-
dents were squawling like a lot Of mad
monkeys, and the soft fur on their backs
bristled with anger
From twenty wounds the snake writhed
and Kissed at each fresh attack. In less
than a minute it had coiled a hundred
times and always managed to protect it's
head Once Brigham was fairly struck
back Of the ear and rolled over out of the
ring kicking and Rasping for breath. He
came back presently, however, and like
Jack Dempsey in the last round, gave
great promise Of a game fight
His fur was up and at the first opening
he got his teeth into the snakes throat
and hung on until the whole crew lined
up along the rest of the body. and in a
moment the fight was over, after which
the winners opened up another row for
the remains.
Topsy assumed that as the matron of
the founding asylum it was her preroga-
tive TO take the body to her wards, and
grabbing the dead snake by the head she
made tor the cage. Such a movement,
however, did not receive the hearty APP
proval Of the other contestants, who,
without further ceremony, fastened
themselves on and landed Topsy at the
other end of the ring.
A general melee ensued, in which the
matrUn succeeded in showing her teeth 10
good purpose and drove the pillagers off
temporarily. After considerable Juggling
and hauling she finally got the corpse
partly in the cage, where her young were
preparing to hold a post mortem. No
sooner had she passed through the en-
trance wnen the unrewarded sentiment
followed up and grabbed the half that
still protruded.
Topsy had probably expected something
OF this sort, and was braced for the shock
A tirst-class tug-of-war was waged. in
which the foundlings took a hand and
squealed louder than any of the tribe.
1t lasted some minutes when Topsy
showed signs Of fatigue, and Mr.. Brown
drove OF the rabble. TOpsy then care
fully drew the snake into her hospital,
and quiet again prevailed.
The fight lasted about two minutes, and
none of the rats, with the exception of
Brigham Young, showed signs Of having
been in it at all. They were as playful
and gentle asbefore, and ate their lunch
of crackers boiled potatoes, meat, fruit,
etc, as If nothing had happened to mar
their serenity.
AS Mr.. Brown leaned up against the
bench some very clever petty larceny was
INDUCED in. His side pocket contained
some broken cake, and the rats took turns
in quietly sneaking up aud stealing it.
They exhibited all the intelligence of
human beings during this operation, and
the way they disappeared after the rob-
berry would have put Spike Hennesy to
shame.
