Chicago, ILL.,, July i6.--The association
CT railway general managers, embracing
every road which enters Chicago, iave
issued the following signed statement:
"All of our old men now here on hand
for work, reported at the freight houses at
noon today and were put to work. No con-
ference was held with any committee or
otherwise since Tuesday and no agreement
was made with the union or with any COM
mittee. The men simply reported for
work, and they doubtless expect and will
receive the pay offered July I, and which
the railroad companies have been willing
all along to pay
After 10 days OF strife, the Chicago
freight handlers strike terminated today in
an unqualified victory for the railroads. A
meeting of the strikers. presided over by
President Curran resulted in an almost
unanimous vote to return to work, leaving
the wage scale and other questions for set
tlement between the men and their respec.
tive roads.
At the conclusion Of the meeting the
strikers went by hundreds to the ware
houses to apply for their old positions, and
the teamsters who have remained out Ia
sympathy again took up their duties.
Moving the Freight.
BY noon immcSSe quantities Of freight,
which had been held back for days were be.
ing rushed TO the railroads, or taken from
warehouses and cars. Where stagnation
had ruled commercial activity again
reigned. Chicago merchants expressed un-
bounded relief at the termination of hos
tilities. but they were scarcely less happy
than the men themselves, although the
strike is estimated to have cost them $ro.
100000 to say nothing of the trade lost
permanently by them.
The little hall where the meet
ing of the strikers took place was
jammed to suffocation and thousands were
unable to obtain entrance. II was brief
meeting, only long enough for an angry
speech by President Curran and the vote
which followed.

Victory pcrches upon the broncho- adorned
banner OF the Montana Jockey club in its
eateh-as-catch-can wrestling bout with the
city OF Butte over the making of books and
the selling OF pools at the race track. The
merry work Of pool selling and book maxi
ing may proceed as of yore at the track.
ana the hearts Of the stockholders and
directors OF the racing associations who
have expended 100000 and hired 600
horses and 900 men to make the snort of
kings success in this bailiwick are no
doubt rejoiced.
Judge Harney this morning rendered a
decision in the proceeding brought against
the city by the Jockey club, in which he
granted the injunction prayed for by the
plaintiff, which ties the cty's hands and
arrests the operation of the extra-municipal
ordinance so recently passed by the CITY
council by which the mayor and the chief
OF police intended to put a stop to pool SELL
ing at the track.
City Is Checkmated. .
The city of Butte is checkmated in its
move upon the gambling at the race track.
1t cannot make its three-mile ordinance
effective. 1t is estopped from making
arrests. If it wishes to push the matter
further it must now go to the supreme
court and ask the latter to upset Harney's
decision.
Judge Harvey was very brief in giving
his judgment this morning. He gave no
reasons for his view or his decision in the
case. He made some remarks about the
matter, but they we're not enlightening upon
the stand he had taken as to the questions
submitted to him. When he brought the
matter up, he said
In the matter of the Montana Jockey
Club against the City of Butte the njunc-
ton prayed for in this case will be
granted"
Then, after quite pause, he added:
Il expected to give my reasons, in some
part, for granting this injunction; but |
do not deem it advisable now"
Enjoyed Conversation With Himself.
After that he made some remarks about
the case, but they could not De heard on
account of the low voice in which he spoke.
He said something about the position of
the plaintiff being good, and wound up with
the statement, This injunction will be
granted"
City Attorney Lamb arose and said:
will you honor allow an exception to
the ruling of the court to be entered?"
The court replied in the affirmative. and
the exception was noted.
Asked if he would appeal, Mr.. Lamb re-
piled that further instructions as to that
would be received by him probably. The
exception was Of course for the purposes
of an appeal If it should be decided upon
The question OF whether or not the city
will quit now is of considerable interest.

These were all brought out through the
Ontario mine shaft which is a mile dis
tant from the DalyWest, in which the
explosion occurred. The I,aoo-foot level
OF the Daly-West corresponds to and is
connected by tunnel with the 6oo-foot
level Of the Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between 100 and
! 80 men were at work. In the Ontario
we're nearly 100, it is believed.
! 1t is not known how many Of these
are dead, but the disaster extends to the
Ontario, as the noxious gases that have
been let loose are known to have been
tie cause Of several deaths.
The presence of noxious gases leads
many miners to believe that the powder
was burned; that the explosion, il one
occurred, which, in the excited condition
OF the town, it Is difficult to ascertain
with absolute certainty was not the chief
cause OF the disaster.
There are two powder magazines at
the I2oo-foot level of the DAILY West,
one at each side of the shaft, with the
capacity OF one TO two cars OF powder

The explosion occurred at about
o'clock this morning. at an hour, when
every person in town was either asleep
or at work. The shock was so tremendous
that it awakened every one within n
radius Of two miles.
As an example OF its awful force. it
is told that two horses in the ore tun-
mel, one and one-half miles away, were
killed by il.
The excitement is tremendous. Not a
man in town but has friends or relatives
working in the mine. Women and children
are thronging to the Ontario shaft house,
which is midway between Park City and
