CLINTON BRIGGS ON HIS GREAT SUCCESS Last Week's Meeting the For Still Better Session Next Summer— Alix and R trth—Faxton’ r of a String. w Clinton Briggs' harness racing meeting during the past weck at Union Park was rightly named “The Blue Ribbon Races,” for N0 other nearly so successful meeting hos ever been held in cither the Mississippt or Missourl valleys.

The starters numbered somo of the fastest ani- mals that ever looked through a bridle. The fields of startcrs were plenty enough, and every horse went out his best; in fact, it one of those occurrences—an honest in heat® The fastest mile ever traveled by a horse in harness west of the Father of Waters was recorded by Flying Jib in 2:03%, and there were thirty-three heats trotted and paced In an average of 2:17 4-5, which is the fastest average made on any regulation association track.

Still there s no reason why good, degitimate races should not be well patron- ized. Here are three cities adjoining each other with u populition of about” 215,000 In the three cities there are many lovers of good racing, but have been ‘“jobbed' by several hippodromes, and it tikes some thing unusual to bring them out now. Mr. Briggs accomplished that much, and if he was to give another meeting within a week it would be liberally patronized. . Clinton Briggs was asked yesterday ho was going 1o hold another meeting. gald: “Not this scason, but I hope about this time next year I can biggest, speediest and” hest harness ing ever held in the west.

Mr. Briggs was ably assisted in_giv the meeting by W. P. McNair, 1d Dul W. H. McIntyre, D. T. Mount, Harry Loper, E. P. Peck and H. R. Reed. All of thesc gentlemen are well Known turfmen, and any meeting sanctioned by them has to be a legitimate one. Mr. McNair will start today for Helena and other points, where the northwestern circuit races are held, He will act as starter for that association. Colonel Harry Loper, who gave such g satisfaction il starting the Unton Park races, has gone to Dayton, O. where he Wwill begin an engagement of starting horses on the eastern circuits. Colonel Loper has few equals as a starter of either harness or saddle races. He expects to come back this way In the fall The next event of importance in racing cireles in this part of the country is the take race between Ed Pyle's famous stal- lion, Robby P, record of 212, and Alix, record 2:07%, on July 4. There will be eral other events, but this will be the stel. lar attraction of them all and will undoubt- edly draw a big crowd.

All the passenger trains moved in and out of the Union depot tonight without any interfercnce from the strikers. ate this afternoon the inspectors and car repairers in the Unfon depot yards, to the numbes of fifty, went on a strike. The strikers have appointed a press committee, with B. P. Campbell, formerly foreman of ‘the Puls. man company, as chairman. Mr. Campbelt said tonight that 3,500 men are out in St. Loufs and Bast St. Louis. Of this numbes 2,500 were employed on this side of ths river and 1,000 on the other.

DENVER, June 30.—The local railway union has decided to petition Judge Hallett in the United States court to cause the receivers of the Santa Fe road and theix representatives to be prosecuted for inte ference with the mails. Petitioners clai that they requested the representatives o the receivers to be permitted to move trains afer cutting out Pullman cars, and that their petition was flatly denied. A telegram has been received from Debs, president of the American Railway union, ordering out the members of that organiz tion cmployed on the Union Pacific road becausc of the discharge of two men fos refusal to handle Pullman cars.

At the same time the committee distributed among the bond- holders a letter from the German committee, representing the consolidated 5 per cent bonds, that contained this paragraph: “Henry Villard has nothing to do cither with the composition of the committee or with its management. He has in all respects retired from the affairs of the Northern Pacific and for several months back has been in the Orient. There is no intention to give Mr. Villard in the future any voice in the man- gement of the Northern Pacific railroad.

Action Wil Probably Be Taken and A special call for a meeting of lodge No. 12, American Rallway union, to consider the strike situation, was Issued at 3 o'clock yos- terday afterncon. Owing to the short notice only a small number of members of No. 1 answered the call and met In Knights of Labor hall last evening President Miller was in the chalr, The actions ot the local officers thus far were endorsed. It was decided to appolnt a committee of three to confer with President Debs and all communications to and from Debs will here- tter pass through this committee. The members of the American Railway union here will canvass the other labor org: izations and endeavor to work up sympathy in the present strike and ascertain what the feeling of these orders are in regard to strik- ing for sympathy's sake. Those present seemed to feel that a strike here would be useless, at least that was the general feeling, but they did not declare themselves boldly against a strike, as it was decmed best to feel around for a day or two and find out just how the land lay. A telegram from Debs was read. It re- iterated his former request that the Omaha American Rallway union go out on a strike, and promised that the strike would not be called oft until every Amcrican Railway union man had been put back to work in his old This was encouragiug, and some of those assembled were in favor of taking Debs at his word and golng out at once. After a long discussion it was decided to wait until Monday night, when a joint meet- ing of lodges 12 and 195 will be held at Gate City hall to discuss the question. [t is expected that some decisive action will be taken then. The extent of the boycott, while not being felt in the passenger service of the rouds en- tering Omaha, Is scriously impairing the handling cf freight. At noon yesterday the Northwestern issued an order declining to receive shipments for Northern Pacific territory on account of the complete tie-up on that road. It also declines to receive perishable freight in less than car load lote for the Union Stock yards, Chicago, and points east. They are taking, however, all car load shipments for the Union yards and points east, having received no advices as vet from tle castern lines as to disposition of freight. The Milwaukee and Burlington on_the other hand are not taking shipments from South Omaha consigned to the Union Stock yards for the rcason that the switchmen in the yards refuse to handle frefght of roads using Pullman cars on their passenger service. No_trouble is anticipated by the Missour Pacific officials at this point, Superintendent Rathburn being o fully impre sed with that belief that he left for his home in Atchi- son yesterday, having accompanied the excursionists ot the Commercial club on their recent trip over the Misscuri Pacific. A careful canvass of the men on the Mis- souri Pacific at this point shows that but three of them are members of the American Railway union, who, if they went out, would not in any wise cripple the service, and these men say it would be the height of uselessness to walk out unless the en- gineers, firemen and trainmen went with them. 4 Everything is arriving and leaving on time ou the Union Pacific. While the ofi- clals at hcadquarters are aware that Presi- dent Debs sent a general order to all union on the Union Pacific to join in the boycott, up to noon none of the men had complied with the order of the president. At Chey- enne, Laramie and Green River meetings were held Friday by the local members of the American Ruilway union at those points, but at headquarters it was given out that a decided difference of opinion cropped out among the leaders as to whether the time was ripe for the western employes of the Union Pacific to join ac- tively in the boycott. In consideration of this uncertsinty among the men them- selves, passenger and freight service on the “Overland'" is moving along very peace- fully. At Salt Lake and Ogden trains left on time yesterday, and Superintendent Molloy telegraphed from Cheyenne that his division was entrely peaceful, all trains moving with full equipment. . Superin- tendent Brinkerhoff of the Kansas divi- sion also reports a peaceful condition of affairs with him. General Manager Burt of the Elkhorn stated that the Northwestern would be one road to adhere rigidly to a principle. That while it avoided a fight wherever possible, western in staying in until the boycott was flattened out. JUDGE DUNDY'S DECLA RATION, He Will Use the Law on Strikers on the Union Facifie, It Eugenc V. Debs attempts to enforce a strike on the Unlon Pacific lines in Ne- braska, or in the United States district under control of Judge Dundy, he is liable to run ageinst a judicial snag which will land him and all the American Railway union men who strike in jail, as the judge emphatically declared yesterday that even the refusal to handle Pullman cars by the employes of this road would bring them in contempt of court and they would be dealt with accord- ingly. Judge Dundy was shown the letter pub- lished in The Bee Friday from Judge Caldwell and_ he said: “I believe that Judge Caldwall will do just what he says he will, and L have made up my mind to the ffcct that in case (he men go on a strike on the Union Pacific lines in my jurisdic- tion 1 will deal with them promptly and effectively if they attempt to interfere with any of the trains or cars. 1 understand that this is also the position taken by Judge Sanborn, as well as Judge Caldwell, but I will not wait for them to act. I will pro- tect the Union Pacific with all the law at my command if neccessary, and sce that the orders to the receivers of the road are faithfully carried out. No men can re- main in the employ of the Union Pacific in this state and refuse to handle any cars that may be turned over to them. There are some laws controlling the Union Pacific which are much more stringent than those given the receivers of any other road. The orders make it unlawful for the employes to refuse to handle any cars and if they should refuse these men would be dealt with accordingly, and the laws will be enforced by this court, Debs or no Debs, and any violation of the laws will be followed by severe penalties. “Any employe has a right to quit the serv- ice of the road any time he wants to, but his place will be filied with other men imme- Qiately, and he will not interfere with the rules or business of the company except at his peril. The men who wish to continue in the employ of this road must discharge their duties regardiess of outside interfer- ence, or they will be discharged from the service. The agitator will receive little en- couragement to start a strike on roads in the hands of government receivers.” Men in Control at Sloux City. SIOUX CITY, Ia., June 30.—An attempt was made by 100 strikers to board an Illi- nols Central train ecarrying Pullmans last night, but the men were driven back by a force of forty deputy sheriffs and policemen and the train went out with the cars on time. Union men declare that no Pullmans will g0 in or out of this city today. The rail- roads are determined that they shall, and a force of deputies are patrolling the yards to protect nonunion switchmen. Situation at St Paul. ST. PAUL, June 30.—The situation was somewhat mixed today. The Omaha and Burlington trains came In from Chicago and started from the city with the usual comple- ment of sleeping cars. The Wisconsin Cen- tral and Minneapolis & St. Louls came in on time, but as yet it i impossible to get engineers for the outgoing trains, The Great Western traln for Chicaga. left twenty-five minutes late, but the iacpming train was indefinitely late, and its gxact location was not known. Trains eame’fn on the Northern Pacific, but the regular morniug train went out after twenty-seven fiihutes delay. A vigorous attempt wag made to get the en- gineer to go out, but he refused, and the train left here at 9:27. Nothing was heard as to Its arrival at Miuneapolis. AS TO THE UNION PACIFIC, Cheyenne Employes of the Overland Wil Settle the Strike Subject Toduy. CHEYENNE, June 80.—(Special Telegram to The Dee)—The strike conimittee appointed by the American Raflway umion at the meet- ing last night has ealled a mass meeting of Union Pacific employes in every department in this city at 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of discussing the Pullman boycott. It fs the desire of the local union to have Al clasres of employes co-operate with them in ¢ a strike s ordered on the Union Pacific system. The committee re- fused to state whether or not any further instructions had been received from Chicago, but the cdlling of the meeting tomorrow afternoon is an indication that they an- ticipate some decisive action at an early date. OGDEN, U. T., June 30.—Tne Union Pa- cific men' are out tonight. The flyer went cest, but two Pullmans from Salt Lake were left 'in the yard. The yardmaster switched the train to the depot track. The Utal & Northern 8 o'clock train pulled out at 9:20, carrying Pullmans. No through Rio Gran le Western trains left during the day. The strike tonight ties up the Union Pacific. The Southern Pacific situation is changed. Not a wheel fs moving on the entire division. A rousing meeting of the American Rallway union tonight called upen all labor organizations to join them and sink or swim together. The strikers refuse to go back Gl the matter is ad- justed with Pullman or the rallroad annuls Pullman contracts.

The engineer and crew offered to pull the mail, but not the balance of the train, ane were notified by the foreman that th could not take the mail unlss they haulel the whole train. Sympathy is generallx with the strikers and a bitter fight is look for, BUTTE, Mont., June 30.—The Utah & Northern, brauch of the Union Pacific road and the Montana Union roads are closec tonight by the strike. The northbound trai was held at Silver Bow because it had Pull- man slecpers attached. un- MAILL SERVICE IMPROVING. Assistunt Postmaster General Jones Out- lines the Department Policy. WASHINGTON, June 30.—Despite the developments of the Pullman strike today. the Postoffice department considers the cea- dition of the mail service very much im- proved. The postal situation in Californ remains unchanged. At St. Paul the situa- tion is reported improved. The Great Northern carrles no Pullman cars. but uses its own slecpers, and the Northern Pacific is sending out trains again, though therc are some trains blocked at Billings and Livingston, Mont., and Hope, Idaho. Re- ports of the delays in Montina and Idaho were forwarded today to the attorney gen- eral, who will instruét the United States marshal in_the territory involved to take action. The following, petition was re- ceived at the department this afternoon: ““Postmaster General: Bissell: The fruit shippers of Placer county, California, respect- fully ask that immediate action be taken for ‘the transmission of qur mail." Acting Postmaster General _Janes this afternoon briefly outlined the policy of the depart- ment, saying: ‘“Under the decisions of the courts and the opinfon of the attorney general on the Great Northern strike, upon which the settlement of that strike was made, every effort is bping made by the Postoffice department fo secure the prompt movement of the mail trains and the im- mediate transportation of the mails. The Postoffice department and the Department of Justice are working' hard, promptly and with all their power to this end.” GETTING WORSE AT KANSAS CITY. Switchmen Leaving the lirotherhood for the A. R. U. Camp. KANSAS CITY, June 30.—The strike situa- tion lere is growing worse for the railroads. The Santa Fe this afternoon has 1,200 cars in the Argentine yards, 800 of them loaded. The switchmen are deserting their own or- ganization in large numbers and joining the American Railway unfon. All of the switch- men in Argentine are now said to be Ameri- can Railway union men and the organization is considered strong enough here on all roads to effect a tie-up. The switchmen have recelved an order from the American Rail- way unlon to strike tomorrow on all roads in this city. It is belleved they will do so generally. The Santa Fe discharged all of its em- ployes, numbering about 400 men, at Argen- tine today. The company has brought eliven firemen from St. Louis and it is hifing all the men it can get to act as switchmen and will attempt (o resume traflic tomorrow or Monday with new men. Al the switching on the Santa Fe is being done by officers and clerks of the road. No through trains from the west on the Santa Fe have arrived here since Tuesday. The Mexico train on the Santa Fe due to leave here at noon today has been abandoned. Chicago & Great Western Blockaded. DES MOINES, June 30.—The Chicago Great Western fis tied up here, and not a train is moving. The Rock Island will be tied up at midnight. Grand Master Workman Sovereign tonight received a message from Debs in which it was stated the real crisis has not been reached, and asked Sovereign if he would stand by the Railway union. Sovereign replied he would, and sent tele- grams to the freight handlers in Minneap- olis, St. Paul, Spokane, San Francisco, Port- land, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans and other points, and all stevedores to hold themselves in readiness to go out at a mo- ment's notice, Soverelgn also sent orders to 30,000 Chicago packers and others to go out. Sovereign is in high spirits over the success of the movement. The Chicago Great Western has discharged thirty men for refusing to take out trains, and also has made an appeal for police protection. Northern Pacific Asks for Protection. HELENA, Mont., June 30.—The first move in the federal court inconpection with the Northern Pacific tie-up, was made today when the attorneys of the road applied to the federal court for an order directing the mar- shal to protect the property of the company in the state and to émploy a sufficient num- ber of deputies to carry out the order. It was granted. The application recited that the employes had quit the service of the company and refused to move trains, and, notwithstanding they had left the company’ service, they still had possession of a large amount_of property ,belonging to the rail- road. The application for the order is be- lieved to be preparatory to a move on the part of the road to start trains in this state. rom Chief Sargent. TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 30.—Chlet Sargent of the Locemotive Firemen author- ized the following official statement: “The local firemen; as an organization, can take no part in this boycott, as its laws do not permit it, and I have no authority, as its chief executive, to order a sympathetic strike. In fact, I esnnot order a strike at all, and can only glve approval to one after the order has voted a strike. We desire it understood that we shall in no way antagon- ize the American Railway union in its pres- nt struggle, and have £o advised the offi- cers of the organization.” Think the Engineers Will Join. PUEBLO, June 30.—The American Rallway union members are standing in front of Trades Assembly hall, where the engineers and firemen are meeting to decide whether they shall join in the strike. The strikers appear very confident. Five passenger trains are standing dead at the union depot. Only one passenger train has gone out today, a Denver & Rio Grande, which left for the north at 6:40 a. m, — - For that tired feellng—Courtland beach.

If the strike shall be pro- lorged many days fruit products to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars will rot ir the hands of the growers and commiission men. Under a hot sun, peaches, apricots, cherries, berries and many other varieties are ripening rapidly. The crop must be moved at once or become a total loss. Fruit has become too ripe for ship- ment and must be thrown away. Even th cannerfes cannot be reached by many growers. It is estimated that 200 car loads of frult are perishing between California points on the Missouri river, but this loss will be very small as compared with the loss in the orchards. The San Francisco frult market was glutted today and there was a general tumble in prices. All the steamers from Sacramento river-points and the bay came in loaded. Every grewer who could reach the t water rushed his fruit to the city, lest it should sbe his last and only market. Much of the fruit has been under a hot sun on river beds and had hecome very soft.

At 5:30 a local train with the Yosemite slceper pulled out, and a few mirutes later the Los Angeles express followed. This train was composed of two mail cars, four passenger cars and a diner and four sleepers. On board were United States deputy marshals, who will go as far as Mendota, where the juris diction of the Northern district of California ends.

Master Mechanic McKenzie of the South- ern Peaific stated tonight that the cific coast head of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Firemen had received a dispatch from and Chief Sargent, telling him that un- less firemen employed by the Southern P cific company returned to work immediately that they would be expelled from the order. Mr. Sargent further stated that the fire- men had no interest in the fight against Prliman and had no business to strike. The Oakland lodge of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engincers decided today, after a protracted session, that they will not par- ticipate in the strike. Furthermore, they decided that they would work with non- union firemen, but not with any renegade union man who takes the place of a striker This action will hurt the American Railway union, as they have depended upon the en- gineers to assist the LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 30.—This after- noon's train, made up of an cngine, mail car and day coach, pulled out on the Santa Fe without obstruction. The train had a nonunion engineer, fireman and conductor. The paseenger coach contained no passengers other than twelve deputy marshals. 1t is stated that their destination is Barstow, and that they will bring down from Barstow all the cars they can haul and also all p sengers who are stalled thiere. United States Judge Ross has prepared an opinion in which he contends that the employes of the Santa Fe are violating the law in refusing to handle trains on which the United States mails hould be carried ‘80 long as they consider themselves employes of the road. He there- fore intends issuing an order compelling the men to perform all their regular and accustomed duties so long as they remain in the employ of the Santa Fe company. a around p. m.—The rily. Trains two were ALL TIED UP AT ST. LOUIS. Iron Mountain and Missourl Pacific Men Have All Jolned the Strike. ST. LOUIS, June 30.—At a meeting which adjourned after midnight the employcs of the Iron Mountain road in this city decided to strike immediately, and as a consequence everything on that line in St. Louis s tied up. A jolnt meeting of the St. Louis Ter- minal employes and Missour! Pacific train. men was held and when the former voted not to handle Pullman cars the Missour) Pacific men also decided to strike. American Railway Union Director George Kern has been arrested on complaint o General Manager Ramsey of the Terminay association upon the charge of disturbing the peace. This is thought to presage a graver charge. The strike i now on here In all its force and traffic is rapidly coming to a standstill. As a result of a conference held last night and orders from headquarters the switch- men on both sides of the river refused this morning to handle any cars whatsoever, and freight movement immediately stopped. Passenger traffic, however, moved as usual all trains leaving on time. Not from any assi-tance of the striking American Railway union men, however, but because the Ter- minal Raillway assoclation’s yardmascrs and assistants, who have never been al- lowed to join any labor union, formed a sufficient force to make up the passenger trains completely and promptly and to start them on scheduie time. The strikers at this point now number in the neighborhood of 2,000 men. These in clude the switchmen of the Terminal sociation, 200 in number, and also those in all the individual railroad yards, between 1,500 and 1,800 in number. As the strke became general the idle men began to gather in knots in the vari- ous yards and discussed the situation. American Railway Union Director George P. Kern passed among them, and in doing 80 came in contact with General Manager Ram-ey of the Terminal assoclation. A few words pa:sed between them, ending in Kern shaking his fist in Ramsey's face, whereupon he was arrested on Ramsey's complaint upon the charge of disturbing the peace. No other incident of this character marked the morning. Elesewhere all was quiet, (oo quiet to suit the raflrosd:. The mak- ing of the strike general has not only stopped freight traffic upcn the roads which use Pulltians, but also on those which use the Wagners. Just why this has been done is not known, but it is presumed to be the result of acts by the latter roads at other points than St. Louls which the American Rallway union deems hostile to its inter- ests. The strike of the switchmen on the Mis- souri Pacific and Iron Mountain-roads was emphasized today by the turning in of three regular road engines by their crews with a refusal to handle Pullman cars. Ac- cording to the policy of the Gould line man- agers these men were discharged. The American Railway union managers here im- mediately placed the facts in possession of President Debs at Chicago.

Monon Strikers Enjoined, INDIANAPOLIS, June 30.—Judge Woods of the United States federal court late this afternoon issued a restraining order against the American Railway union, Bugene V. Debs, its president, and other officers. The order was prayed for by the attorney of the Monon road. The petition requires an answer from Alexander Shields, the presi- dent of the local lodge, American Rallway union, at Hammond, to show the court what i part the Amerfean Rallway unlon has in the alleged Pullman strike, It further pra that the officers of the American Railway unfon and thelf conspirators be restrained from in any wise interfering with any mall tralns of the plaint!ft in their movement from Hammond and elsewhere In the state of Indiana. The petition also prays that American Raflway unfon members be re- strained from enterlng upon any passenger train except as passengers, and nncoupling cars, The order asked was granted, Judge Woods remarking: “It {& In line with the action taken by Judge Baker in the coal matter."” e e ROCK ISLAND AND STOCK YARDS JOIN, in Chicago Than Day Yet. CHICAGO, June 20.-~The tie-up Rock Island road ls almost complete at the Chicago end tod The switchmen, switch- tenders and tower men went out almost to a man, over 400 stopping work at 7 a. m The men were not expected to go out until noon and their unexpected action left the road in bad shape. One of the switchmen at Englewood threw his switch and locked it, lpaving the yards just before the heay Omaka train arrived. The train was brought to a standstill in time to avold a wreck and after a delay the switches were set and the train pulled into the depot, carrying Its Pullman The suburban service suffered severely. Switches at many places were spiked and several trains were stopped a serious trouble narrowly averted in the sub- urbs. Crowds of strikers swarmed through the yards, uncoupling car fast as the were attached to the eng and interfer ing with the work in many ways. Two of the “dummy” traing were detaiued for five or six hours and the officiulx of the road were compelled to man the switchos and trains At several points in the yards police were cailed in to maintain order. General Super- intendent Dunlup, after a tour of the yards, admitted that the situation wus serious. “We expect,” Mr. Dunlap said, “to have trains running smoothly In a short time. We will put new men in the places of the strikers at once and believe thai many of cur men will go back to work shortly.” All the trainmen at the Unlon stock yards have struck in obedience to Debs' order The number of the strikers Is only 300, but no cars can be switched In or out of the vards. The Union Stock Yards Switching as Sociation succeeded in manning one engine today and began an attempt to handle p: ing house products for railroads running into the vards which do not use Pullman cars— the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore. The Rock Island announced that it would be unable to accept shipments. The Chicago, Burlington & Quiney will accept shipments next week.

More Men Out on Any of the NERAL MANAGER'S STORY, Acknowledged ths the Strike Is Wide- spread and Serioas. CHICAGO, June 30.—The General Mana- zers assoclation in session today Issuea the following statement regarding the strike: “There is no attempt made to deny the strike is widespread and serious. This embarrasses the freight traffic of the west It J¢ the greatest strike in extent since the troubles of 1877-78. We have no.in- tention of entering into a compromiso With the strikers on any basis whatever. The railroad companfes fail to see the justice of the American Railway union fighting Mr. Pullman over the heads of the railroad companies, who have no control over Mr. Pullman’s movements or his manufacturing business. The men now on strike are con- sidered as employes who have resigned their positions and who are not anxious for work. Any men who desire employment under the railroad companfes center- ing in Chicago, and who are com- petent, will be furnished positions and will be afforded all the protection that lies in the power of the companies, police of the city of Chicago, sherlff of Cook county, and the state of Illinols. Men are now being hired in the cast and brought to Chicago to take the places of men who will not work. It has been charged by the American Raflway union that the General Managers association is importing men from Canada. This statement is absolutely false. The railroad companies do not propose to employ any men to take the places of the men now on strike, unless such men are American citizens, and wherever we can find a man who wants to work to take the place of a man who will not work, whether the substitute comes from New York or Cali- fornia, we propose to give him a job and see that he is protected.”” There was a big crowd today at the United States marshal’s office, men who wanted po- sitions as deputies, Marshal Arnold said he could procurc thousands of good men with- out any delay. The men were mainly work- men out of employment. The government does not furnish the deputies with arms of any kind, nothing but a commission and a star, but each applicant Is required to have a revolver of his own, United States Marshal Arnold received a reply this afternoon from Attorney General Olney to the telegram sent by the marshal in.the morning. Mr. Olney instructed the marshal to grant the request of the Rail- way Managers association for deputies to protect the mail trains. The attorney gereral's reply was: “You are authorized to employ sufficient deputies to prevent the obstruction of the mails and to arrest all persons who may attempt such obstruction. “OLNEY, Attorney General.” BTRIKE SPREADING AT DENVE Every Roand Except the Burl Unlon Pacific ving Trouble. DENVER, June 30.—The railroad strike is spreading raplidly in Colorado. The Colorado Midland, a branch of the Santa Fe, and the Gulf road are completely tied up tonight and the Denver & Rio Grande Is seriously crip- pled. The Santa Fe sent out its California train via the Colorado Midland, but it got no further than Colorado City, where all classes of employes except conductors and engineers struck this afternoon. Not a wheel is_turning on the Midland. Superin- tendent Egan brought the Gulf road's train from Texas as far as Pucblo by firing him- self. The train crew recefved a dispatch at Cucharas warning them never to enter Trini- dad again. The Fort Worth express out of Denver last night got only as far as Cu- charas.
