Burdick and Jansen, the commanding off,
GERS Of the two battalions. From these
the orders for an immediate muster were
sent to the company captains, then to lieu
tenants, non.com missioned officers, until
the corporal of the SIN allest squad knew
there was trouble brewing. From the
time Colonel Sullivan received orders to
have his regiment In readiness until al
most up to the hour OF departure there
was one continual transmission of orders
and riot Instructions throughout the regi-
ment
1t happened rather unfortunately that
the orders to prepare for departure arrived
just at the time when nearly every working
militiaman was leaving his place OF bust
ness and was on his way to his home.
Considerable difficulty was found in locat-
Ing the members Of the regiment. but early
in the evening more than half the strength
of the organization was on hand. Fifteen
thousand rounds Of new ammunition were
unpacked and partly distributed. The
guardsmen donned their service uniforms
and campaign hats. and slung their filled
knapsacks.
Barry's Third Infantry assembled at the
Golden Gate avenue armory with commend
able promptness. The companies ap-
peared in strong numbers, and the impress
sion might easily have gone forth that
Barry's militiamen could 90 a deal of
fighting and do it we'll. The orders to the

be opening and the cry went forth that
the strikers were opening the draw 10
! order to prevent the train from crossing.
The report was found to be untrue, as the
draw was being opened to allow a steamer
from up the river to pass through.
The strikers excitedly watched the OBJ
structions being removed. but offered no
violence until an attempt was made to
move the delayed Eastern overland, which
was made up OF mail car and several
Pullman sleeperS
AS the result of the conflict which oc-
CURED to-day United States Marshal
Baldwin has sent dispatch to the Attor-
ney- General at Washington stating that
the force at his command here is totally
inadequate to move the mails and notify-
ing him that requisition has been made
upon Governor Markham to call out the
militia.
Tonight the strikers are in an ugly
mood. Flushed with the victory won to-
day they openly declare that under no cir
cumstance will train to which is attached
a Pullman sleeper leave this city. Secret
meetings are being held contiguous to the
railroad shops and serious trouble is
feared
A large number of the strikers are armed
and are pre- pared to resist any attempt to
move the Pullman coaches.
This morning Super intendent Fillmore,
in conversation with the Associated Press
reporter, said that the company had finally
determined to resume traffic, notwith-
standing the bitter opposition of the
strikers. He thought that all delayed
trains here would be pulled out before tc-
night.
This afternoon the railroad company had
a notice posted in the shops informing the
men that they had concluded to reopen
the shops Thursday morning instead of
tomorrow. They are confident that a
large number of strikers will return to
work.
At II O'Clock tonight everything is quiet
at the depot. A number OF strikers ere,
however, patrolliDg the company's prop
erty, evidently fearing that another at
tempt will be made to take out train.
No additional violence has as yet been re-
ported.
Marshal Baldwin is engaged tonight In
swearing In business men to act as Deputy
United States Marshals. Thus far 100
business men have been sworn in, much
to their discontinue. Many of them
sympathize with the strikers and do not
relish the idea of being called upon to
oppose them.
The railroad officials here expect, with
the assistance of the militia, to move the
belated trains tomorrow. The strikers
are still firm and are determined to pre-
vent the railroad company from taking out
any trains. 1t is generally believed that
serious trouble will occur tomorrow.

was sent and waited there for the answer.

Shortly after O'Clock yesterday after
noon Major General Dimond, commanding
the entire National Guard division. re-
ceived orders from Governor Markham
directing that at least two military regl-
ments stationed In this city be placed in
readiness to move Immediately to Sacra-
mento. The Governors instructions were
transmitted to General Dickinson, the Sec
ond Brigade commander. and preparations
were under way within half an hour in all
Of the city armories.
Several DAYS ago the ordnance officers of
the city regiments had replenished the
supply of ammunition in the armory store
rooms and all the miltiamen available
were ordered to WORK In the distribution of
cartridges to the various companies. There
were men enough about for this kind Of
occupation. The city mllitiamen had not
been altogether 0bllvious of the serious
character of the situation, and the first
hint of summons found goodly number
ready for the emergency. Tents were
hastily removed from their dingy dwelling
places in the darkest of armory corners,
knapsacks filled with the militiaman's in
side toggery were tumbed out upon the
floors of company quarters. and before
hall regiment had gathered things were
pretty well fixed for the summer outing
start of three battalions.
The headquarters of General Dickinson
at PIC Bush street seemed the center Of at
traction during the day. Long before noon
colonels and majors and captains glittered
in personality at least around the place
where the authority in the Second Brigade
is in considerable preponderance.
Even Colonel Fairbanks was there.
Fairbanks commands the Fifth Infantry. a
regiment located variously among the
towns on the other side of the bay. This
organization contemplated weeks outing
at Santa Cruz beginning next Saturday,
but the order for the encampment has besh
revoked. and the young men of the Fifth
have begun preparations for service more
practical if not more enjoyable.
Colonel Sullivan of the First dropped in
and talked strike with the brigadier.
Barry of the Third was about and captains
and leuteuants innumerable.
1t was long wait for definite orders, but
it was interesting Runners were rife
throughout the day until there was little
telling whether anything had happened at
Sacramento or not. Every one talked of
the spectacle of California militia in ac-
ton, and every one seemed really anxious
to participate in the affair If matters should
require 1t.
At the armory of the First Regiment ac-
tivity began as early as 8 O'Clock. Mes
sengers were hastily dispatched from
Colonel Sullvan's headquarters to Majors

ii became known this morning that the
railroad company had determined to clear
the yard of the belated trains. Thousands
of people gathered about the depot, but
were driven eff by the marshals and depu-
ty sheriffs. A dead line" was established
and the strikers were forced to keep ont of
the depot. AT II o'clock the railroad off,
clals were notified that the largest engine
o n the division was ready 10 move The
engine was in charge of Master Mechanic
HintZleman as the engineer, and AL Deck
er, railroad employe, as fireman. United
States Marshal Baldwin and Sheriff O'Neil,
each with an ample force of deputies. and
the strikers with a force of men to assist
the officers. kept the strikers back SO as
n OF to obstruct the movement of the en-
gine and cars.
At II :04 the engineer pulled the hell
cord vigorously and the train moved
slowly up the yard, greeted with mingled
cheers and Kisses. Deputy Sheriff Foley
accompanied the engine, while Marshal
Baldwin, Sheriff O'Neil and Assistant At
torney knight occupied a conspicuous
position on the track between the long
line of strikers. The first work done by
the locomotive was removing the engine
that came over from the Yolo side and
placing the tied-up mail train on the main
track.
After the two dead locomotives had beer
removed from the main track and when
the live engine was about TO be sent across
the bridge to clear the passenger cars that
were blocking the track in the village of
Washington, the drawbridge was seen to
