IT'S ALL OVER IN ST. PAUL.
THE STRIKE CEASES. so FAR AS THIS
TOWN rs CONCERNED.
COMPANY OF REGULARS

Precautionary Measure - That
Road Open to All Traffic to
Giendive - The Situation Yes
terday on the Omaha.
There is no A. r. u. strike now on in
st. Paul. The car wheels are moving
as usual. The Chicago Great Western,
Wisconsin Central, the Burlington, the
st. Paul & Duluth and the Minneapolis
d st. Louis are all now running their
trains regularly. Interest in the
movements of their trains has ceased
as the strike element with them has be-
come eliminated. Matters have now
narrowed themselves down to two
roads-the Northern Pacific and the
Omaha. AS to the former General
Manager Kendrick had some cheerful
information to give out yesterday. He
stated that all passenger trains and
freight trains from Glendive east are
regularly running. Glendive Is the
farthest point west to which regular
service has been attempted since the
trouble set in. This point is 666 miles
west of ST. Paul. Better than this even
is the fact that the train that went out
at AIS p. m. yesterday will go through
to Portland.
UNDER MILITARY ESCORT.
This went out under the military es-
eort OF company G. Third infantry, un-
der command of Capt. Roe. Each man
was provided with 100 rounds of ammu-
milton and ten days rations. 1t is prob
able that at Fort Keogh they will meet
the east-bound troops. who will relieve
them. This move was thought best in
order to afford more adequate protection
to the bridges and tunnels of the COM
pany. The line is now military line"
In good earnest. Fort Buford supplied
cavalry, which is placed at intervals
along the line from Glendiye, and an
other from Fort Yates is Is protecting
the company's bridge at MandaD. The
Fort Smelling companies that went out
last week are now en- route for home.
General Manager Kendrick stated yes
terday morning the two trains-west-
bound and east-bound met at Gold
Creek. on the He'll Gate river. The
bridge burned there is the only
obstacle blocking their progress. As
this is being rapidly rebuilt
they will soon pass each other. The
bridge that was burned out at Tenny,
between Fargo and Glyndon, will be re-
built in time to allow the train that
went out yesterday afternoon to pass
over without delay.
Another point was also gained yester-
10 ~;
passenger service. as second train
went out at 9 o'clock last night for Win
nlpeg. via Fargo. 1t is the company's
intention to keep this up and increase
service as rapidly as circumstances will
allow. In few days this road, incIud-
ing the main and branch lines, will be
wide open for regular, uninterrupted
traffic.
ON THE OMAHA.
With the Omaha, full service has
been established on all divisions except
the Northern. Notwithstanding all
obstacles, this company is steadily and
pluckily pushing its fight against the A.
h. U. embargo. 1t is now running
specials over its Northern division to
clear up accumulated business, and in
dications are excellent that all traffic
conditions will be normal. Spooner
has quieted down so that for twenty
four hours there hav heen no disturb
ances there. Last night trains Nos 63
and "a were again put on. The first
left Duluth at II o'clock last night for
St Paul, and the other left here at the
same hour for Duluth.
wire from the Chicago q Rock
Island came in yesterday, showing its
line now entirely open.
The Milwaukee will put on its train
recently annulied on the Hastings and
Dakota division in day or two.
All the merchandise transferred by
the st. Paul u Duluth at Duluth to the
western Transit company is handled,
OF course, under contract. An official
or the st. Paul & Duluth, who returned
yesterday from Duluth. gave out some
interesting Information. General Agent
Woivln, OF the Western Transit COM
pany, hearing that his dock men pine
ty-hye IN number-wsre uniting with
the A. X. u, feared that they would
make trouble thereby, and in case of
the substitution of nOn-uniOn switch
men would cause serious delays. He
instantly informed the men that tliey
must decide between remaining loyal to
him or 10 the A. r. IT,, as he would not
have any union men work for him.
That settled it. Yesterday he wired
here: Everything i'll good shape here
this morning. Eighty-two of the dock
men are at work. this morning-in fact,
might say all are back. They are un-
loading flour or doing anything else
they are told to do. Yard all right;
work being done in old style"
GREAT NoRTHERN'S ATTITUDE.
In order not to involve itself. un-
doubtedly, in the trouble, the Great
Northern is not acceDtinQ transfers.
from boycotted lines, which may, in
measure. account for the congestion
and ldleness of Minnesota Transfer. A
report has come to the GLOBE that
"Great Northern engineers have per-
nits signed by Debs allowing them to
handle Pullman cars" This, if true,
would look like a discrimination il,
favor of that road. Vice President
Clough stated yesterday that he knew
of no such permits, and said further
that the Great Northern handles no
Pullmans anyway. When the recent
strike on the Great Northern was set
tied, Debs and Howard signed a con-
tract with the company, which, if they
should violate, would forever deter anv
other company recognizing the A. r. u,
as it would show their agreements are
valueless. 1t has probably been mat.
ter of policy rather than desire to be
fair that has given the Great Northern
immunity at this time.
A trestle, eighty feet long. between
1nver Grove and Rich Valley, OH the
Chicago Graat Western, burned proba-
bly, by iucendiaries. delayed matters
little yesterday morning. Passengers
to and from Chicago were transferred at
this point.
