\ Given the Strikers by Senator Davis of

| Washington. July 2.-Senator Davis of
| Minnesota, this morning received the fol-
| lowing telegram: ''We, the railway emp eye Q
| of Duluth, Mimi, earnestly request you to
support Senator Kyle's mail train resolution
| nowsbefore Congress. Please answer.
I'D. d. M'INNIS, President.

10 this Mr.. Davis replied as follows:
I'd. d. McInnis, Duluth, Mimi:
Il received your telegram. I will not sup
port Senator Kyle's resolution. 1t is against
your own real welfare. 1t is a blow at the
security. peace and rights of millions of
people who never harmed you OF your asso-
ciates. My duty to the Constitution and
laws forbids me to sustain a resolution to
legalize lawlessness. The same duty rests
upon yourself and your associates The
power to regulate commerce among several
states is vested by the Constitution in Con-
gress. Your associates have usurped that
power by force at Hammond and other
pla ces and destroyed commerce between
states in these particular instances. You
are rapidly approaching the overt act of
levying war against the United States, and
you will find the definition of that act in
the Constitution. trust wiser thoughts will
regain control.
SC. K. DAVIS"
"A Gatling Gun.''
Chicago, July 2.-The Injunction against
the strikers order will Prove a veritable
drag net completely covering any demon
stration of violence or interference what
ever with the railroads on the grounds that
such interference will be a hindrance of
the United States mail and violation of
the privileges granted the railroads by the
Interstate Commerce laws. Every road
entering the city and affected by the strike
to a total of twenty-three is specifically
named and the employees thereof are
specifically enjoined. Referring-to the scope
Judge Glosscup said: ''It enjoins all
strikers, their friends, sympathizers and
those whom they may ineite from intefer-
ing in any way in the United States court
district of northern Illinois with the United
States mails or any Interstate commerce
traffic, either passenger OR freight. Those
arrested for violation of the order will be
brought before the court and required to
show cause why. they should not be punished
for contempt of COURT The general
managers of the railroads profess to believe
the Injunction will prove worthy of the de-
signation given by one of the judges, "a
Gatling gun on enforcement According
to the law and according to the district at
torney,s 1.-The strikers might be arrested day
after day, be arraigned and summarily dealt
with for contempt of court. This, it is re-
ported, is the policy it is intended to pursue.
The strikers rea son differently. At their
headquart ers this evening, the interference
of the Federal court4was denounced in Wig
orous language by hundreds of railroad men.
They say instead of inducing men to re-
turn to work, as it was contended..it would
result in driving out thousands.
The opinion is confidently expressed in
the strikers camp tonight that if the rail
roads offer to haul the Pullmans the firemen
will leave their posts.
A Beef Famine in Boston.
Boston, July 2.-Owing to the railroad
strike in the West. there has been since
beef from 81 to S1.50 a hundred, and the
prospect is it will rapidly advance still
higher. There is little disposition to sell in
large quantities until the market becomes
more settled. There is but one cargo on its
way to Boston, and no telling when the
next will be sent from Chicago. The top
price for beef on Saturday was $3.50. Ad-
vices from Chicago today were not to sell
for lnSc han md + tba twill
few days longer, Boston may experience
beef famine. There is considerable
speculation in beef in the market. Hog pro-
duct have not felt the speculative tendency
of the market so much as beef, the bulk of
pork being cured and held in large quanti-
ties here. There is an advance of salted and
smoked meats of half cent pound. and
on fresh accent, with prospect of going
higher.
General Reports Encouraging.
Chicago, July 2.-From the Pan Handle
road information was given out by the
general managers that the road is in much
better shape than heretofore, and better
police protection is being given new men.
1t is given out from the Lake Shore head
quarters that there has been no interference
and Interruptions with the business of the
road. Both passenger and freight trains
are moving on time. A joint switching
crew at Van Buren street has gone out, but
their places are filled by new men.
At Lansing. on the Illinois and Indiana
state line on the Pan Handle road, the hotel
people and restaurants absolutely refuse to
furnish food to the deputy United States
marshals. The Pan Handle road sent force
of men to Lansing to fit up hotel for the
headquarters of the marshal, and also sent
a carload of provisions. The Wisconsin Cen
trail reports indicate business is being done
in both passenger and freight departments.
