REVIEW OF THE STRIKE.
The Situation as Reported Fran I'M
pOrtant Railroad Centers.


st. Paul, July live don't recog-
nize the fjct that strike is on said
the general manager of st. Paul road
to-day. IF connecting liEes would take
our stuff we would be all right"
The Northern Pacific is now the only
road seriously handicapped by the A. H.
U. in St Paul, and it is making good
progress in its effort to resume all kinds
of traffic over the system. 1t even moved
two freight trains yesterday OH the SUI
pcrior division. The Chicago roads and
the st. Paul s. Duluth have little COM
plant to offer as passenger service is now
intact on all of them, with the exception
of the Hastings & Dakota. division of the
Milwaukee. Beginning to-day the Iowa
& Minnesota trains leaving st. Paul for
Austin and Mason City ut S:35 II. m,
which were discontinued July 5, will be
resumed. All trouble ON the Omaha's
Northern division was largely removed
yesterday All other passenger trains on
all roads but the Northern Pacific arrive
at and depart from the union depot as
they did before the strike.
Chicago, July 12.-The threatened
general paralysis of labor of all sorts IN
Chicago, and the general walk-out of
the knights of Labor, and their sympa-
thisers in all parts of the country, which
we're to have taken place, appear to
have proven failures. In this city, in the
shops and factories, in the building
trades, and in the lines af interurhau
travel, there are no signs of obedience
to the order issued by the representatives
of skilled labor in the city. Not only
that but the railroad lines centering here
show decided improvement in traffic.
Pr sserger trains, local and suburban,
are moving everywhere without inter-
ruption, and their freight business is
rapidly assuming a normal condition.
For the first time within q week train
loads of live stock were received at the
stock yards, and otAeS train loads, ear:
rying beef and hog products to the
Eastern markets, were sent out In very
considerable volume Dispatches from
tho centers of population and industry
of the United States and from many
of the less important cities fail to show
that the order or request of Grand Mas
ter Workman Sovereign of the knights
of Labor for general cessation of work
has met with the slightest recognition
by the members of that order or by
those who sympathized with them.
The indictment against Debs and the
others was made public yesterday. 1t
is not q lengthy document and contains
but one charge, that Of interfering with
the mails,
Fargo, N. d., July 12.-All engineers
on this division of the Northern Pacific
have now reported for duty and are
at work, The old 6remen and switch
crews are still out, but new men are
taking their places. The conductors are
all at work. A freight train was sent
west yesterday forenoon, and one came
in in the afternoon from the west. No.
2 was made up at Mandan yesterday and
and arrived in the evening on time. At
2 o'clock yesterday morning the bridge
over the Buffalo river east of Fargo
was burned 1t was over 200 feet long,
and will take several days to repair
Transfers are now being made around
the bridge. 1t is supposed to have been
ct on fire.
Washington, July 13.--It was officially
nrDuonced at the White House that the
president will appoint commission by
the authority given him by the arbitration
act Of 1883, to Investigate the labor
troubles at Chicago and elsewhere, and
to report to the president and congress.
The commission to be appointed has not
been selected and it will be number
of days before the appointments are an
nounceG.
This determination on the part of the
president was arrived at after an inter
