In answer to United States Marshal Ar- nold’s request for regular United States army troops from Fort Sheridan, United Btates District Attorney Milchrist said he Would send additional forces of deputy mar- shals with the omnibus injunction order before calling for United States troops The Second regiment of the Tilinols National Quards, the Hibernian Rifles, was also or- dered to Blue Island The engineer and fireman desorted the en- gine which was hauling the Fifteenth rogi- ment, Tilinols National Guards, and all engi- neers and firemen called upon refused to take the engine. It was then stated that tho train would be taken out by officials. Village Police OfMcer McMillan, who' tried to arrest the fireman of the stalled train for blocking the crossing, was arrested by Marshal Arnold for obstructing the malls Tho marshals and deputics think that the town officers, while promising them support, are really in favor of the strikers United States Marshal Arnold sent 100 and Sherit Gilbert thirty-five deputies to Blue Island teday in anticipation of trouble. The work of swearing in and arming the deputies both by the United States marshal and sheriff was carried on today as specd- ily as possible. Sherift Gilbert has piled up at his office at the court house 200 Springfield rifles and 4,000 rounds of ammunition which had ju been sent from Springfield by Governor Alt¥ geld. The sherift swore in extra men to Dbear these arms. The new recrults were sent out to relleve the regular deputies and bailifts who have been on duty for several days, 8o many of the sheriff’s employes, fneluding deputies and court ballifts, had been sent out to guard railrohd property that the regular business of the office is almost suspended. CHIEF DEPUTY LOGAN STABBED. hief Deputy Marshal Logan was stabbed during the riot by a striker. The wound 18 long and deep and extends down the left side from the armpit. It is not dangerous United States Marshal Arnold and his force of 250 deputies, huddled together in the cars that blockade the Rock Island rallroad yards, await the arrival of the Becond regiment, Illinois National guard, and the Fifteenth regiment of the regular army at Fort Sheridan. The deputies and their officers saw that a determined resist- ange to the strikers meant bloodshed and they withdrew, leaving the tracks in the possession of the strike The strikers boldly declared that trains would be “dumped” when the soldiers ap- peared and bullets be met with bullets, At 2:45 the Rock Island road sent out the train for Blue Island, carrying about sixty deputy United States marshals and deputy sheriffs. The train was heavily guarded by police and deputies and carried some suburban passenger. INJUNCTIONS AGAINST STRIKERS. Judges Grosscup and Woods in the United States court issued an injunction today re- straining the strikers under the municipal laws and the Interstate commerce act. It is a sweeping order, and aims to protect the roads as common carriers to transport frelght as well as to carry the United Stq mail, The grain trade on the lakes is completely paralyzed, as the railroads are unable to get any corn or oats to the ele- vators. So far as known no one has becn seriously hurt, although there have been many small slugging matches. The Rock Island has de- decided not to attempt to run any more trains through Blue Island tonight. United States Marshal Arnold, it is said, wired the attor- ney general, saying his men cannot control | the mob and asking that the Fifteenth infan- try be ordered out. President Debs received a dispatch from Columbus, 0., today declaring that the Na- tlonal Association of Strect Car Employes stands ready to assist the strikers. United States Marshal Arnold was pulled off a_car platform at Blue Island today after the fight and kicked and rolled over in the dirt by strikers. He was not scverely hurt w The representative of the Santa Fe road at the general managers' meeting said today information had been received by his road 1o the effect that the telegraph operators had gone out at Bmporia, Kan. The Northwestern road reported to the gereral managers tonight’ that its passenger trafic was continued today without inter- ruption. Freight business was encountering difficulties, but several freight trains left the depot for the first time in several days During the afternoon a large number of ar- rests were made by deputy marshals and sheriffs. Strikers in the parties who were demonstrative were quickly taken in charge and locked up. The deputies experienced but little dificulty in making the arrests.

The Iiinois Central is still in bad shape regarding suburban business, but 1s moving through trains. The Milwaukee & St. Paul Is also badly embarrassed by the striking employes. On these roads occurred the most serfous difficulty. Seventeen roads In Chicago are more or iess embarrassed by the strike, and many passenger trains are being moved, as on the Panhandle, under heavy guards of deputy marshals for mall trains and deputy sheriffs for other trains, {n order to get them through the strikers and their sympathizers who congregate along the The railronds have not altered thelr n, the bulletin continues, and will no# ley with the men who want to strike.

It the state cannot afford ample protection the railroads will ask the United States govern- ment to send troops to the scene of the dis- turbance, Dispatches to the General Managers asso- clation up to 8 p. m, are as follows: ago & Northwestern road has aban- all fts suburban business for the Island, the United 8 county deputy doned night. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul—No freight has been moved into or out of Chicago today. All passenger trains on time. Baltimore & Ohio—All passenger trains with full equipments nearly on time. An attempt to start three freight trains was frustrated at Ninety-firit street by a mob, the trainmen being forced to flee.

We are affiliated with the other railroad brother- hoods and will be guided by any action taken by the federation. We cannot afford to come in a strike which was ordered with- out consultation with the other raflroad or- ganizations. It would have been better all around had Mr. Debs and his people con- sulted with them before ordering the strike, then he would have had some claims upon us, but it is now presumptuous for him to ask us to strike at lis bidding.** says all Cincinnati return to PACIFIC COAST BLOCKADEL All Efforts of OMelals to Start Trains Have Proved Ineffectual. SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.—Tonight, at the close of the fourth days’ struggle between the Southern Pacific company and the Amerl- can Railway union, the strikers appear to have the upper hand. Their blockade of the entire system Is practically complete. The western divisions of the Santa Fe road are in much the same conditipn. In fact, railway traffic is almost at a Standstill at | all points on the Pacific coast south of Port- North of Portland there is also the Northern Pacific road being practically tied up, and the Union Pacific is involved. All overland trains have been effectually blocked, and the only trains running_anywhere are lovals. Tho two points of particular fnterest in Cali- fornia tonight are Sacramento and Los An- geles. In Oakland everything is quiet. The Southern Pacific company this morning posted notices at the Oakland mole announc- ing that until further notice no attempt would be made to dispatch overland trains. Suburban trains and a few trains to near- by towns were dispatched from Oakland during the day, however, and met with no interference. The Oakland yards are still patrolled by deputy sherifis. From this city trains were run out south irregularly over the coast division. No crowds have been permitted o enter the company's yards at Fourth ‘and Townsend streets, 100 policemen and fifteen speeial policemen having been tioned there to keep the strikers and lrs from entering. AU Los Angeles the Southern Pecific and Santa Fe companies appear to have the co- operation of the United Stafes authorities. On Saturday last the United States district attorney at that point wired Attorney Gen- eral Oiney that the United States marshal was critically il and unable to muster a force of marshals. Attorney General Olney replied to District Attorney Dennis that Brigadier General Ruger would furnish troops to execute the processes of the United States court and prevent detention of the United States mails, General Ruger was at telegraph, Tonight he telegraphed from Denecin that company G of the First in- fantry, U. S, A., has received orders to pro- ceed to Port Costa, there to joln the rest of the reg nt and to pro A south. The troops at Angel's Island are also preparing to move. They will take thirty days' rations and Gatling guns, At Los Angeles Judge Ross thls morning issued an injunetion agala:t Debs, Howard, Lynch, and all strikers on the Southers Pacific and Sants Fo systems, forbidding them to interfere with the transmiss'on of the mails, and also forbidding them to in- terfere with trafiic, The injunction was issued at the Instance of United States Di:- trict Attorney Dennis, and 1t is the intention of the court authorities in the event of a refusal by the strikers to obey the Injunc tion to place warrants for their arrest in the hands of the United States troops. At Sacramento the excitement is fully as Inten'e as at Los Angeles. General Supbr- Fillmore of the Southern Pac'fie Is there endeavoring to break the blockade. He is aided by United States Marshal Bald win and a strong force of deputies, but thelr every effort Is combatted by a force of 3,000 strikers, who swarm throughout the yards, This morniog Marshal Baldwin attempted to treat with the strikers and to secure a pledge from their leaders that they would not interfere with any trains that might be moved strikers declared that they wonld offer no violent - interference, but they insisted on and reserved the right to board trains and speak with the crews with the view of having them join the strikers. This afterncon Southern Pacide officinls ad- dressed an appeal for assistance to Mayor Stelnman of Sacramento. Mayor Stelnman refused 1o interfere requested, holding that he had no authority to act uniess som overt act should be committed by the strik- ers. United States District Atto rney Carter has been informed of the si tion in Sac- ramento, and has instructed the United States marshals ta remove the sirikers from the rallroad companys yards and th pa of the United States mails at any co The marshal's posse is wholly unable to cope with the strikers, and as the mayor and sheriff of Sacramento have both refused to interfere, it is believed that troops will be called out. ' In fact, it is already re ported here that a detachment of United States troops has been ordered Sacra- me 0. The report, however, cannot be verl- fled . P. land, Ore. much trouble, once notified by to secure Huntiogton telegraphed G eral Manager Towne as fo “It you cannot get the men to run the trains you will let the carg remain in the yards until you can get the men to run them.” Two companies of the First regiment at Angel island left on the speclal for Los Angeles. They were joined at Port Costa by fifty soldiers. They carry thirty days’ rations and have gatling guns. TRAINS RUNNING OUT OF DENVFR, OMecors Make Them Up and Strikers Do Not Offer to Interfere. DENVER, July 2.—The situation in this city, 80 far as the operations of passenger trains Is concerned, shows some Improve- ment today. The usual morning trains were sent out In all directions. The Santa Fe brought fn a train from the east which had been four days on the road from Chi- cago. Tho Unfon Pacific Cheyenne train came in with out a sleeper, but this was be- cause connections were missed. There was no train from the east on the Rock Island, it being tled up at Council Bluffs, he Denver & Rio Grande Is running all passen- ger trains. Few frelght trains are running on any of the roads. General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific, after learning that the employes in the Denver shops, the majority of whom are Knights of Labor, had decided to renmin neutral during the strike, rescinded his order closing the shops. The men will work on half time. Fifty deputy marshals were on duty in the railrcad yards in this city today. The strikers did not attempt in any manner to Interfere with the operation of trains. Passenger trains were made up by officials of the roads and sent out as usual. No freignt trains were run. The Santa Fe Is in much better shape than it was last week. All its regular eastbound passenger trains were sent out today accord- ing to schedule, and several that had been delayed arrived. The Santa Fo Is not yet running trains in New Mexico. The Colorado Midland is having no trou- ble whatever. The Denver & Rio Grande ran all trains out of Denver, but was in trouble at Pueblo and Salida, the striking points on that road. A train was started west from Pueblo thi afternoon, the first since Saturday, and two others pulled out shortly afterwards. The railroad officials believe the strike at Pueblo is_broken. The Gulf road expects to resume regular train serveice as soon as the troops restore order at Trinidad. Two attempts were made today to move trains out of Trinidad, but the strikers drove the engineers and firemen off and drew the fires. Late this afternoon orders were issued from the Gulf road's headquarters discharging 300 track layers, carpenters an so forth at Pueblo, for whom there s no work. The strike of Union Pacific switchmen has interfered seriously with the smelters, and it has become necessary to shut down, owing to lack of fuel, throwing a large number of men _out of employment. The Burlington road has experienced no trouble here as yet. REGULAR TROOPS ARE READY. Are Prepared to Get Into Actlo Short Notice. WASHINGTON, July 2.—Since the receipt of telegrams last evening, on which orders were fssued for troops to proceed at once to Trinidad, Colo., the War department has had no further applications for tho assist- ance of the regular army forces to protect the mails and the railroads operated under United States recelvers from interference by strikers, There was no unusual manifesta- tion of activity at army headquarters today, but the fact is accounted for by the thorough stato of preparation of the troops to meet any emergency. Some years ago General Schofleld settled on a definite policy of clos- ing out the numerous small army posts scat- tered (hrough the west where they were no longer needed, and of concentrating the traops in posts adjacent to the great cities, where they «eould ba rapindly dispatched to points of danger. At the War department Chicago Is looked on as the glanger point at presenf »fl“‘ the offictals dre confident that they h sufficient forge fhere to meet present demands, the garrison’ 4t Fart Sher- idan_including a full ‘regimeht of jnfantry, two batteries of artillery, and twenty troops of cavalry, all well drilled and seasoned troops. Representative McGann, who as chairman of the labor committee is regarded by labor- ing men as one of thelr chief spokesmen in congress, had a talk today with Assistant Postmaster General Jones and other officials of the Postoflice department. From them he learned that the precedent established by Attorney General Olney in the Southern Pacific strike would be adhered to in the present troubles. Mr. McGann was told that the officlals intend to insist that no actual physical resistance shall be made against the ruoning of the regular mail trains; that they shall not be_sidetracked, stopped or fnterfered with, No legal ob- stacles will be made against men not doing work who are_engaged on the mall trains if they desire, because the officials consider such action’ a personal matter. The post- office officials said that they intend to main- tain a ncutral position so far as the parties to the strike are concerned, and to take no action in support either of the corporations or the labor organizations. on Very MRS, STANFORD COULD RIDE, Pacific Strikers Graclous Act. DUNSMUIR, Cal, July 2.—A felicitous incident over the great strike on the South- ern Pacific system was witnessed here to- day. Mrs. Jane Stanford, widow of the late Leland Stanford, has been for two days stranded in her private car north of here. The burning ofa trestle on Sunday made it impossible for her car to proceed. To- day a delegation of striking American Rail- way union men proceeded to her car with carriages, brought her to this city and put her on board another car that the men had decked in bright colors with flags and bunting. A brass band headed the party. While a_locomotive was being coupled to the car Mrs. Stanford thanked the men and assured them that, were her husband liv- ing, the present trouble on the Southern Pacific: would not have arisen. “Would this offer bo made to Mr. Hunt- ington?"" asked Mrs. Stanford. “No. Mr. Huntington would not be al- lowed to even walk on this road,” was the answer by the spokesman for the strikers. When the car was pulled out of Dunsmuir a guard of strikers went along to sce that it should not fall into the hands of the com- pany’s officials, Southern Perform a ENGINEERS WILL NOT STIRL Will e Upheld, However, for Refasing to Go Out with Green Orows. CLEVELAND, 0. July 2—Letters and telograms have been recelved from rallway employes throughout the west asking that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers participate in the strike. . Chief P. M. Ar- thur of the latter organization has sent out a general reply covering all such communi- cations. He cautions the engineers not to let the prevalont strike avercome their better judgment and repinds them that they are, as a rule, working under an ugree- ment with the various railways for a stated period. Ho says the engineers haye - no grievances and should not be influenced by strikers to take part In a contest with which they are not concerned. Chief Arthur, how- ever, will uphold engincers who refuse ta €0 Out with green crews, where they be- e their lives will be placed in jeopardy 80 doing.

PAUL, July 2.—WIith the exception of Omaba train for Duluth all outgoing Incoming passe trains went and usual this morning, although two of them were late; Sleepers were attached as usual. Two important telegrams were recelved by Strike Manager Doyle from Presideat’ Debs today. The first stated: ~ “Wire your con- man and senator immediately urging thelr support to Kyle's mall train resolution.

The other telegram rea “Call on engl- noers; pledge them our full support. Wabash went out by engineer's request for restora- tion of wages. We are galning ground everywhere.” Tho Great Northern grievance committes will meet with President Hill this afternoon to consider their complaint that the terms of thelr recent agreement are not being kept. This trouble, however, has nothing to do with the Pullman boycott. They threaten to tle up the road In case their demands are not conceded. All passengers tERiny" went out as usual tonight, each tral crew doing Its own switching. The N@rthern Pacific sent out its Fargo train at #:10, the overland train’s time, Instead of at 8 o'clock, but otherwise everything was unchanged. A number of new men are at work and it {s stated many of the old men have resigned from the union rather than quit work. Tonight the North- ern Pacific yard switching crews returned to work and the Great Northern men con- ferred with President Hill this afternoon, the result being the reannouncement that they would go out. The engineers in thelr meeting this afternoon sympathized with the American Railway union and declared they would take out no trains with scab crews. FREIGHT BUSINESS SUSPENDED. Passenger TrafMo In and Out in Some Bot- ter Shape. ST. LOUIS, July 2—The morning passen- ger trains got out without much delay this morning, all of the employes of the Terminal assoclation assisting. The freight situation however, experlenced no change, the strike having thoroughly stopped the handling of all such trains and cars. The men out here continue in a vicious mood, with no indications of any disturbance in any di- rection and no developments of importance are expected until the time given by the employing railroads for their men to re- turn to work expires. The statement that the Wabash had been tied up generally proves incorrect. Beyond the trouble at Decatur, I1l., the western divi- slon, though it uses Pullman cars, has ex- perienced no trouble as yet while on the east side of the river where Wagner cars are in service all trains are moving sub- Ject to delay only when running via Decatur. The men out at Decatur were notified this morning that unless they returned to work by noon today they would cease to be em- ployes of the Wabash and their places would be filled. The demands formulated by the Decatur strikers and to which the road has declined to accede are that the wage sched- ule aud rules in effect before the reduction made during last year's depression, both as regards employes ‘and officials be restored, but with the understanding that even this settlement cannot be made until the Pull- man contest is ended. An effort was made by the Mobile & Ohio officlals today to lift the boycott so far as it effects that road, especially at Cairo, IIl, but it failed. Assistant General Manager J. G. Mann placed before American Raflway Union Director George Kern docu- ments from the striking Mobile & Ohio men certifying that they were willing to return to work, providing Kern approved, the road’s officers having agreed to discontinue using Pullman ca#s. ¢, Directors Kern and Elliott decided to§ dgefine to approve the plan, The mails here afe the strike. A committee of &trlprs called on Mayor Walbridge to secufe hik good offices in the direction of arbitration of the strike. The mayor agreed to act with others that might be selected with tH@ @sgent of all Interested parties. Tho comppitieq then called on the directors of the Merehants Exchange, but was recelved very, coolly. Later the com- mittee was _informied . by letter from the Merchants Exchange. that the strikers had made such threats, that they stood in the light of lawbreakers and therefore the di- rectors declined to'act as arbitrators. The status of th¥' railroad strike here as the day closes is tHat of almost complete in- terruption of freight 'traffic, while passenger trains made up by’¥ardmasters and a num- ber of Terminal asfociatlon switchmen, who have returned to work, are moving practi- cally on time. On both sides of the river all switchmen have struck except those of the Wabash Western and the St. Louls, Keo- kuk & Northwestern. In all, about 1,500 men have gone out in all the vards. The only addition to the ranks of tho strikers today were the freight brakemen of the St. Louis division of the Louisville & Nash- ville, who have laid up that division. United States District Judge Clayton re- celved instructions form Attorney General Olney this afternoon to see that there is no interference with mail trains here. In ac- cordance with this order United States Mar- shal Lynch has stationed deputies at the union depot to protect trains and arrest all persons offering interference. ering severely from HAYES APPEALS TO CONGRESS. Asks the Government to Keep Hands Off in the Present Struggle. PHILADELPHIA, July 2.—John W. Hayes, general secretary of tne Knights of Labor, is doing his best to have the United States government keep its hands off in the present big fight between the railroads and their cmployes. He has issued the following let- ter to congressmen and senators in support of a resolution introduced by Senator Kyle at the instance of Mr. Hayes: “To the Members of the Honse of Repre- sentatives and Senate, in Congress As- sembled: Gentlemen—We beg leave to call your attention to the:joint resolution intro- Quced by Semator Kylo in the United States senate today, Monday, July 2, 1894, and ask tar.

In no case do the con- tracts call for the attachment of other cars than mail cars on mall trains.

It & well known these employe: stand ready at all times to do service on mail trains. “In view of these facts and the hereto- fore declared policy of the government to in no way interfere with private enterprises, such as railroad corporations, unless the laws of the land arc violated, we hereby petition you to carry out this declared policy now by the passage of the Kyle joint resolu- i The railroads are either public or private enterprises. 1 the former. it is the duty of the goernment to assume control thereof and give to the. pmployes the same falr emolument and just 4reatment accorded to all other governmentt employes.

Debs' $10,000 challenge that “He had better keep his money; he may need it." ANl trains on the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney are running on time today. Trea LESBURG, Arrive, TRINIDAD, Colo., July 2.—The United States troops arrived here tonight. Slow progress was made because every bridge and switeh was examined before the traln was permitted to cross. The arrival of the troops was a surprise to the strikers, as they had cut the wires. The only occurrence in the way of a disturbance was an attempt Troops to pull the fireman from the engine, where- upon the engineer and fireman wero taken to camp under escort, where they will be kept all night. No attempt to move trains will be made until tomorrow. PRESIDENT DEBS, Sketoh of the Career of the Directing Hea of the Ameriean Rallway Unlon President Eugene V. Debs of the Ameri- can Rallway union, as the directing head of the boycott against the Pullman com- pany’s cars, ls a prominent figure in Ameri- can affairs today. He brings to the present struggle between organized labor and organ- fzed capital great executive ability, and he is besides a wonderful organizer. Mr. Debs, too, is an orator of no mean pre- tensions. He has a good volce and presence, s magnetic and earnest He possesses absolutely the confidence of the men in the American Rallway union. Violence he op- poses, and in the prosent contest he has repeatedly counseled moderation, President Debs was born in Terre Haute, Ind., in 186 He recelved his education in the publie schools of that city, and when 16 years old began work as a painter in the Vandalia railroad * shops. Afterward he worked for three years as a fireman on the same road. His first appearance in public life was his election to the office of city clork of Terre Haute. He served two terms, and when he was 26 years old was choson a member of the state legislature. While in that body he secured the passage of several laws In the interests of labor. His speech nominating Daniel Voorhees for the United States senate gave Mr. Debs wide reputation as an orator. At the end of his term in the legislature Mr. Debs was made grand secretary and treasurer of the Broth- erhood of Locomotive Kiremen, and he filled the office for fourteen consecutive years. He was always an earnest advocate of a federation of rallway men, and through his efforts the United Order of Rallway Em- ployes, composed of the brotherhoods of rail- way trainmen and conductors, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the Switch- men's Mutual Ald assoclation, was formed, and Mr. Debs became a member of Its su- preme council. ~ The organization, however, was dissipated by a quarrel between two of the leading orders comprising it, and then Mr. Debs concelved the idea of the American Railway union. For a year and a half he worked at the details, and the union came into cxistence in Chicago June 20, 1893. Since its organization it has prospered, the union is now the largest body of ra men in the world. Its recent victory the strike against the Great Northern ral way was a signal one. That was Debs' first great fight and he won it. Mr. Debs is married and has a pleasant home in Terre Haute. DEBS STATES HIS TERMS, Puallman and the Railronds Must Each Be Parties to the Settlement. CHICAGO, July 2.—President Debs said this afternoo “The settlement will be made on these terms only: “1. There must be an armistice between Mr. Pullman and his employes on a basls satisfactory to the men. They are willing to accept a reasonable compromise, and all the men must be taken back to work. “2, There must be an adjustment between the railways and the strikers; all must be re- stored to thelr old positions, and no wages shall be cut, nor shall discrimination be made. “The General Managers' association has made common cause with the Pullman com- pany, and we can't settle with either side. There must be an agreement with both.” NO ONE TO BLAME. Michigan Central Official Tries His Hand at Switehing with Poor Success. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July 2.—A wreck was narrowly evaded on the Grand Trunk tonight. Enough nonunion men had been em- ployed who were willing to go out on a train.
