DAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-The South
ern Pacific Co. continues to run pas
senger trains more or less regularly
during the hours of daylight, but all
trains are still being abandoned. For
the present but one west-bound and
one east-bound overland train day
Will be run on the Ogden route. Nom
d. union train crews are not hocking to
division headquarters, and this is prob.
ably the reason why SO few freight
trains are being moved. The first fruit
train dispatched for the east since the
strike was ordered by Debs was sent
out of Sacramento yesterday morning
At Sacramento the only exciting Incl.
dent yesterday was the dispatching Of
a train bearing sixty United States
regulars to Dunsmuir, on the Oregon
branch. The company's agent at Duns.
muir reported that the strikers there
were becoming ugly. The strikers at
Sacramento continue active, however
Several hundred men who had obeyed
the order to strike, resumed work in the
machine shops. Yesterday morning most
OF them remained away. The men have
been intimidated by the strikers and
feared violence by the hands of the A.
Vice President Towne, of the South
ern Pacific, posted a notice that the
Sacramento shops would be reopened
to-day and that protection would be
afforded all men who desired to return
to work. Mr.. Towne also publicly de.
MES the published statements that men
returning to work are compelled to
sign an agreement to stand aloof from
labor unions. He declares that the
company simply insists that it's en-

the A. r. U.
In Oakland, as we'll as Sacramento,
the railroad officials are meeting with
difficulty in getting enough men to
run their shops and man their trains.
The strikers have been pretty success.
tui in intimidating the men who would
otherwise have stepped into the vacant
positions. Yesterday, however, a few
more men returned. Many of these men
were escorted to and from their work
by troops of cavalry. The passage of
these odd-looking professions through
the streets of Oakland afforded about
the only excitement at that point to-
day. One man, supposed to be a
striker, and in whose possession sew
eral sticks of dynamite were found,
was arrested near the railroad yards
by soldiers and taken to the city
prison.
The strikers have instituted habeas
corpus proceedings to recover Edward
Jost, ono of their leaders, who is
locked up in box car on the mole and
guarded by soldiers. Jost, disguised

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
HELENA, Mont, July 1S.-Reports
from all portions of Montana are to
the effect that trains are running on
the Northern Pacific main line close to
schedule time, and that the company
has enough applications to fill every
vacancy. All engineers and conduct
ors, with few exceptions, have
applied for work, and in twenty
four hours the company will be able to
handle freight. The only delay now
comes from the destruction of bridges
Since the road first began to operate
under military direction more than
twenty bridges have been DESTROYED by
fire.
In the last twenty hours three big
bridges have been burned on the Rocky
mountain division. People in the whole
state are becoming aroused over the
burning of the bridges and volunteers
are coming forward with offers to
guard the bridges and to arrest any
one caught in any act that will en-.
danger life. The state has offered a
reward of 81, 900 for the cap ture of any
one caught in this kind of business.
