BLOCKADE MAINTAINED.
The Oakland. Cal, Strikers Have Full Control
Of The Situation.

SAN FRANcIeco, July 6.-The strikers at
the Oakland yards and along the mole and
on the Narrow Guage lines effectually
maintain the railway blockade on all lines
running down the mole. Wherever the
strikers find live engine they take posses
sion, rake the fires, blow off the steam, and
leave it dead on the tracks. The strikers
have no fear of the militia. They say that
not man in all the command now under
srms-at the armory will obey the orders to
fire or use the bayonet.
From present indications the Railroad
Company will make no effort to resume
local and suburban traffic for some time,
and the only means of travel will be by the
Creek route. Eastern and foreign mails
and mails for California and Arizona are
sent by steamers north and south to connect
with railroad routes not affected by the
strike.

CHIEF ARTHUR TALKS.
Says the Boycott Will FaiI-WiII Not Allow
Engineers 10 Ioin.

COLUMBUS, o., July 6.-Chief Arthur of
the Engineers Brotherhood, was asked last
night what he thought of the A. r. M. boy
colt on Pullman cars.
Inevitably, p" he said, sit must fail. 1t is
question of but short time. The rail-
way men who are participating in this boy
colt have no grievances against their em-
ployers. They are trying to force their
employers to violate contract with Pull
man, because it is said Pullman does not
treat its employees well. The Engineers
Brotherhood cannot take part in such an
unwise movement. l Informed Mr.. Debs
at the outset that we could give him no
assistance. Engineers are employed to
draw trains, not to build cars"

timber-hunter in British Columbia
Once, when travelling quite alone
through an immense forest, searching
for the best timber, and camping
wherever night overlook him, Mr. King
suddenly found himself surrounded by
a pack Of between forty and fifty Gray
Wolves. They thought they had him

but they made one slight mistake In
stead of being armed only with an axe,
as they supposed, he had good re-

Well said Mr.. King, ''the fight, If
it could be called one, lasted about
half an hour. Then a few of them

AS a rule the Gray Wolf soon dis.
appears from settled regions. In the
United States there is probably not
one wolf to-day, where twenty years
ago there were fifty. The killing OF
the ranchmen's cattle. colts, and sheep
was not to be tolerated, and bounty
was put on the Gray Volts head,
with fatal effect More deadly than
the steel trap or the Winchester, the
Strychnine bottle was universally
brought to bear upon his most vulnags
able point-his ravenous appetite. Even
during the last days of the buffalo In
Montana, the hunters poisoned wolves
by hundreds for their pelts, which
were worth from three to five dollars
each. Now it is ary difficult mat
ter to find a Gray Wolf even in the
wild West, and in Montana and Wy
oming they are almost as scarce as
bears.-St. Nicholas.

Irving Likes America.

A gentleman who is an intimate
friend of Henry Irving, says that ths
English actor has seriously consider
ed making New York his permanent
home, and that when he sailed for
England it was with the half-express-
ed intention of returning in the spring
of 1895 and remaining here.
"Mr. Irving had strong prejudice
against America ten years ago" said
his friend, 'but his feelings changed
and he became a great admirer of
American methods and Institutions
His western trip amazed him. He
had no idea of the immensity of the
country or of its varied features.
"He was especially pleased with
Colorado and bought some land there.
Mr. Irving likes New York better than
any other American city he has visit
ed. SO strong was his desire to stay
here he inspected dwelling on Fifty
eighth street with a view to buying it..
He might have remained if his pro-
