Nearly Every Road in Chicago Has Ceased to Move Tral CHICAGO, July 3—The boycott is gradu- ally spreading, and each hour the area cov- ered by it widens. There is little change to be noted with respect to the roads already reported as in trouble. A few of them are struggling to move their passenger trains, but freight traffic Is practically at an end. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which employs nonunion men, is about the only ex- ception among the roads in Chicago. The Chicago & Northwestern, which up to last night had escaped trouble, fell into line during the night, and today is completely tied up. Its suburban traffic is very heavy, and great inconvenience results from the stoppage of this branch of its business. The Illinols Central, the Rock Island, the Milwaukee & St. Paul and Great Western all report a like condition. The Nickel Plate road caught it today in earnest. All the engineers, firemen, brake- men and trackmen on the Chicago end of the line stopped work simultaneously and without warning, leaving things in a desperate state of confusion. The worst effect of the walk- out was in the swampy regions several miles from the city near Kensington. Here a whole trainload of passengers from the east were left to their own resources near the Stony Island station. They had been brought hundreds of miles and then left practically in a wilderness, though almost within sight of their destination. Strikers stopped the train on the Nickel Plate road which left the city at 7:35 a. m. &t Ninety-second street and Stony Island avenue, The engineer and fireman were compelled to leave their enginc. The train is now In the hands of the strikers. Twenty- five deputy marshals were at once sent to the scene with orders to recover the train and dispatch it on its way east. Firemen on the Rock Isiand met at For seventh and State streets today and we fnstructed not to work with nonunicn men. Illinols Central engiueers met today and passed a re olution endorsing the strike. Sherift Gllbert has sworn in forty depu- hes to go to Roseland and Lansing to pro- tect the bridges in the vicinity of these places. A passenger train on the Baltimore & Ohio was ditched at Rock Island Junetion today by strikers. The engineer was badly hurt In jumping and the road wa: co pletely bloeaded by the derailed train, The Michigan Southern and Michigan Cen- tral have been suffering because they occu- pled terminal facilities jointly with the Iili- nols Central and Rock Island. Nevertheless up to today they have been able to move thelr passenger traffic with comparative ease. The general tle-up at Detroit today stops these two roads effoctually, The Western Indlana termival, over which the Grand Trunk, Chicago & Erie, Wabash, Eastern Illinois, Santa Fe and Monon roads enter the city, recovered from the first shock and handling its passenger trafic with a rea- sonablo degree of efficiency up to last night. Today all of the roads are again in trouble. A new dificulty is presented by the re- fusal of the engineers and firemen to risk thelr llves by working with green hands, and it Is also doubtless true that the raf- road managers themselves are not very anx- fous to force the fighting. They are exceed- ingly fearful of precipitating a battle on the Fourth of July, and are playlng a walting me. They are making no serious ¢ffort to move their tralns before Thursday morning. They also say that a suspe n of busin at this time is not an unmixed evil. “We are taking things very easy," sald one of them this moruing; “we know per- fectly well that the freight Is In the coun- try and must be moved sconer or later, and as all the roads are involved in this thing it makes no difference to us when the freight {5 moved, we shall. ultimately get our share of It. If any one or more of the roads was free from the disturbance it might rob the rest of us of our share, but we are acting t tion has got to gether, and this ques- be settled ‘sooner or later, and we feel It might as well be settled now as ever, We are perfectly willing that the public shall suffer enough inconvenience to enable it to fully realize what the strike means. It will not be long before the in- convenience resulting from this suspension will be felt very keenly everywhere, and then we belieye public sentiment will be a great factor In ie extineticn of Debs and his people 1 believe there {8 a much wiser way to settle these troubles than would be an attempt to force the thing and Injure the lives of a large number of faith- ful men The price of provisions fs advancing very rapidly, and the hotels, restaurants and private familles are feeling it very keenly. Fruits, fce and all kinds of perishable pro- yisicns are commanding very high prices, and, indeed, are now rded as a luxury. The coal famine is be ming very serious, and a number of factories have been com- pelled to shut down. A number of brew- cries cease operations today. For the first time in th history of Chicago not a single rlcad o live stock arrived at the stock ards by rai' today, while the shipments of dressed meats s practically at an end. Vigorous efforts are being made to in- volva the intramural transportation lines In the trouble, and it is claimed that dur- Ing the day the elevated roads and street car lines will cease operations. A number of them are using anthracite coal at great exp but even this Is growing searce, and the president of the South Diy cable line says he may be compelled to £top for lack of coal. The same is true of the electric lines reaching to the suburbs AND C PRESIDENT BINET CONSULT. Situation Thoroughly Canvassed and Troops at Chicago Orde Out. WASHINGTON, July 3.—The cabinet slon began at 11 o'clock today. Secretaries rton, Smith and Carlisle were absent e great strike was the topic of discussion and every phase of the situation was care- fully canvassed. Attorney Olney s the leading spirit, inasmuch as through n comes all of the informaticn bearing the situation as reported from time to time by the United States marshals, and he had a pile of telegrams to read to his associates. Even while the cabinet was in on messenger by were passing between the telegraph offices and the white house. The secretary of war laid before his associates the plans of General Scho- fleld, so far as they were perfected meeting any emergency tnat might and they were approved. He als the instructions that had been given to Gen eral Miles prior to his departure for Chi- cago. It is understood that General Miles' return to his headquarters was hastened by an intimation from the department that his presence in Chicago was desirable at this Juncture. The cabinet meeting ended about o'clock, but within an hour Attorney Gen- eral Olney had further information to com- cate. That it must have been of important character was shown by the fact that hasty calls went out from the white house for the secretary of war and General Schofield. The latter was the first to respond, and was soon in close con- sultation with the president. It is not in- tended to allow the troops to act at the whim of a deputy marshal who might “lose his head” in the face of danger, and there- fore, while assisting in the discharge of federal processes, the troops will be kept ses- General an strictly under military command in the first instance and, secondly, under the con- trol of the president. This Is provided for by a_ general order issued a le over a month ago in the height of the Coxey dis- turbances. The secretary of war, after a second con- ference at the white house today, made the the following statement: “The United States marshal and the United States dis- trict attorney and the United States judge having certified to the president that it was impracticable to otherwise execute the or- ders of the court, the troops under com- mand of Colonel Crofton at Fort Sheridan consisting of eight companies of infantry, two troops of cavalry and a battery of light llery, have been ordered to Chicago to enforce the laws of the United States.” The order was sent in the shape of a tele- gram directed to Colonel Martin, General Miles' adjutant general, and the next in command of the Department of the Missouri in his absence. GENERALMILES LEAVES WASHINGTON. He says the Government Expects ance from All Good Citizens. WASHINGTON, July 3.—General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the Department of Missouri, who Was recalled from a leave of absence for consultation with the officials concerning the strike situation, left for Chicago over the Baltimore & Ohio road today to resume control of the government troops concentrated at that point. He was accompanied by Captain Marion P. Maus, one of his aides. He had a further con’ ference with the officials here before leaving. Just as he was leaving the Army and Navy club for the railroad station he said to an Associated press reporter that while the governmeént would use its strong arm to prevent violence and see that the law was enforeed it hoped for the askistance and co- operation of all law-abiding citizens in this work. The War expectancy Assist- department was In a state of today and was doing nothing but waiting developments. General Miles had a talk with Secretary Lamont before the latter went to the cabinet meeting and then held a long conference with Major General Schofleld, commanding the army and Adjutant General Ruggles pecting the situation. The only official news re- ceived at the War department came in the | shape of a few dispatches to General Scho- fleld from the far west The War department will follow the policy which was so successfully employed in dealing with the Commonwealers in the west. The United States courts will take the lead with their' marshals and the army will assist them only. At the first intel nee of making up or moving t , the s having been reported to the courts, warrants will be isued for the arrest of ring leaders on a charge of cont>mpt. The marshals will endeavor to serve these war- rants and If they meet with resistance be yond thelr power to overcome the troops will assist in making the arrests. Once brought before the courts the prisoners probably will be immediately sentenced to jail beyond the relief of bail or of any process of delay save a writ of hab corpus, which they are unlikely to get from any court at this time SOVEREIGN SAYS STRIKE, Head of the Knights of Labor Addresses a eting ut Council bluffs, COUNCIL BLUFFS, Jul ~(Speelal to The Bee)—Old Liberty hall, the rendezvous cf the Council Bluffs assembly of the Amer- fean Railway union, was crowded to its very deors last evening, and the four walls of the structure fairly shook with the round after round of applsuse which greeted the speakers and which rose from 700 :yinpa- thetic throats. Mr. Charles Wurren acted as chalrman of the meeting, and as the first speaker of the evening presented Rev.

Many of you her may be and are probably not coo- versant with the corigin of the trouble at Pullman, and it /s more to them than to others that my remarks are addres ed this evaning. The strike at Pullman was the direct result of the robbing of the laboring man, not because times necessitated such ac- tion, but because times offered an excuse for it.

STOPPED BY THE STRIKERS Southern Pacific Makes a Futile Effort to Start a Train, UNITED STATES MARSHAL ROUGHLY USED Started to Act as Engineer and the Strikers Dragged Him from the und Walked on Him—Glad to Es- cape with His Life. Cab SACRAMENTO, Cal., July 3.—Sacramento was the scene of a violent demonstration on the part of the railroad strikers this after- noon. The Southern Pacific company at- tempted to break the blockade here and 'nd a westbound overland train to San Franci Preparations had been made for this attempt for a day or two past, but the effort resulted in a complete failure. As soon as a start was made a mob of 3,000 strikers who had been removed from the immediate vicinity of the train previously swept down upon the train and dragged United States Marshal Baldwin from the cab of the engine. The strikers knocked him down and the deputies and police who tried to interfere were powerless. Many in the mob ehouted: “Kill the marshal,” but the latter drew his revolver, and several deputies who had forced their way throu the crowd did the same. The strikers were obliged to fall back and the marshal finaily escaped to the railroad offices. The attempt the train, however, had to be abandoned for the time being. The strikers cut the train in wo and then th com- menced to scat ars and disable the engines in the . Marshal Baldwin, realizing his utter helplessness sent a dis- patch to the governor, explaining the situa- tion and recommending that the national guard be called upon for duty at Sacramento at one All day there has been the greatest excite- ment in the vicinity of the Southern Pa- cific yards. Early this morning people began to assemble there, and long before there had been any actual disturbance thousands of people were surging with the strikers through the railroad grounds and streets adjoining. There are 3,000 strikers at this point, including the men who went out of the railroad shops, and nearly all of them were In the excited throng. Before 10 o'clock in the morning the United State marshals ordered the crowd to leave the yards and the depot. The strikers offered no resistance and quietly withdrew. On the street near by, Chairman Knox of their mediation committee, ad- dressed the strikers, advising moderation. The powerful force of officers, including fifty deputies under United Stales Marshal Baldwin, the entire city police force and the sheriff and all his ~deputles, was then thrown into the yards. All the gates lead- ing to the railroad yards were closed &nd barred. Then ropes were stretched across the different entrances to the depot and po- ce put there to deny anmittance,to every one. When these precautions had been taken, General Superintendent Filmore an- nounced that a trsin would be made up and dizpatched to San Franc FFICIALS MAKE UP A TRAIN. The division master mechanic fired up a switch engine and moved slowly up the yards. This was the signal for a threaten- 1 from the mob that surged outside The raliroad officials ins'de ran a Pullman down the yards and proceeded to make up a train for San Franeisco. The strikers began to threaten that the train should not leave the vards. Finzlly, when Ll al coac! were in position on the main track, another locomotive that was to haul the train to Sin Francisco appeared on the scene. United States Marshal Bald- win was in the cab as the engineer. At this juncture an ominous shout went up from “the strikers and their sympathizers, and before any resistance could be offered a mob came up and passed the guards sta- tioned around the depot. The rloters bore down upon the train in the vards. The of- ficers and guards made little attempt at re- sistance. In the tumult that followed the police and deputies were driven frem their positions, Marshal Baldwin was dragged from the cab, thrown upon the ground and trampled upon, and the train was cut and the coaches scattered, _With the greatest effort Baldwin regained his fect and drew two revolvers. Though he was unable to shoot, the rioters being upon him and having him all but at their mercy, he managed to force his way through the angry strikers, many of whom were loudly demanding his life, to the divi- sion superintendent’s office. This ended the attempt to move the train out of Sacra mento, and the strikers then applied their efforts to disabling engine and cars. REGULARS ARE STALLED. SAN FRANCISCO, July. 3.—With rioting in progress at Sacramento and three reg ments of state militia under crders to pro- ceed to that point, with six companies of United States infantry en route to Los An- geles, another centcr of disturbance, and with a horde of strikers in Oakland ripe fa riotous action, the whole people of California are in the midst of great excitement. Such events as the railroad strike has de- veloped have heretofore been unknown in California. Tonight the tie-up on the South- ern Pacific and Santa Fe systems is as com- plete as it has been at any time during the five days since the blockade was insti- tuted, and, owing to the disturbances that have aris the situation is g T than it bhas been at any time heretofore, Out of Oakland and San Francisco a few suburban trains are running. In this city a force of 100 policemen and half as many deputy sheriffs prevent trouble in the railroad yards. At lice and to move Oakland, notwithstanding a patrol, the strikers became riotous today efzed two trains. They also took p on of the station and railroad yards at Sixteenth rect, effectually blockading for a time all railrcad business in and out of the ecity. A conductor who attempted to run his train past Sixteenth street was s verely beaten. The police were unable to cope ‘with the rioters. More serlous trouble is feared thers When six companies of the United States infantry were called into action and ordered to Los Angeles it was belleved the strikers would offer no resist- ance to their passage. Tonight, however, the train bearing the troops is stalled af Bakersfield, this. side of the Mohjave des- ert, and it is not known how soon they can be transported over the Tehachapi grade and sert. When the train arrived at Bakersflcld at 1:30 this afternoon, the en- gineer deserte leaving his train on the main track, and tonight the train is still blocked at that point TOOK MRS. STANFORD THROUGH. Mrs. Jane Stanford, widow of the late Le land Stanford atd executrix of the great Stanford Interest in the Southern Pacific, continues to play a romantie, or at le a picturesque part in the desperate struggle now being waged between the company and the A. R. U, Today Mrs. Stanford, borne by the A. R. U. men, had a triumphal entry into the city. Her car, decked with flags and bright bunting, came into Oakland this afternoon, and at Sixteenth street yards was lustily cheered, though the very mob of strikers had stalled a passenger train on a parallel track. The determined committee of fourteen A. R. U. men that had brought Mrs, Stanford's cogine and car from Duns muir, ou the Oregon branch, saw that car went stralght through to the ferry eral division officlals at Oakland attem; to board the car, but were thrown to the glound. They were steruly informed that that was an A, R train. Interviewed tonight, Mrs. Stanford said: “I never passed through anything like this before, but never in my life was I treated more Kindly than I have been by these men. I hope for their sakes that the difficulty will scon be set tled. The fourteen men who brought me to the city were as gallant as possible.

The trial of Conductor Heartt, who is charged with con- tempt of court In resigning his position after he had accepted his running orders, was com. menced, Heartt sald he resigned because the crowd was threatening when he started to take the train out. He said he had re- ceived no instructions to strike from Presi- t Debs, The Western Union Telegraph company was called upon to produce certain telegrams alleged to have been sent by Debs but refused. Judge Ross will rule on the matter tomorrow. Late this afternoon the switchmen and fire- men of the Southern Pacific company re signed in a body and the car men went tc headquarters for the same purpose, but their foreman was not present and their resigna tions will be presented Iater. It is expected the engineers will also resign when formal orders to report for work reach them General Ruger, with the United has not reached the city yet. States ARE NO GOOD, General MeCook Is Ready to Call Out Al » Regulars in His Department. VER, July 3.—General McCook s preparing to use all the soldiers in his de- it necessary to'aid In the moving of railroad trains. In addition to having sent five companies from, Fort Legan to Trinidad he has moved two compenies from Santa Fe, N. M., to Raton. General McCook says deputy marshals are worthless as fighters and that the p of regular soldiers will have greater e quieting disturbance and moving trains than or force. he situation here was unchanged up tc 10 o'clock. All the railroad companies sent out thelr morning passen; [ m Denver & Rio Grande was unable to move its tr west of Salida last night. The road’s employes at Pueblo, Salida and Grand Junction are on strike and it is presumed that Debs’ order for a strike at Denver and cther p on the line will be obeyed. It is also expected that the loeal assembly of Knights of Labor will order a strike on the roads which the A. R. U. is trying to tie up, as General Master Workman Sovereign has telegraphed that he will support Debs. One train from the east came in over the Santa Fe last nizht and another today. The Santa Fe will send a trafn west today. President Jeffery is eirculating constantly among the employes of the Denver & Rio Grande road and striving in eve ible manner to induce them to remain loyal to the company. The fact is a hot battle is in progress between President Debs and President Jeffery, the one trying to break th: Rio Grande's transcontinental connection and the other endeavoring to keep the system open and the trains in operation. The American Railway union has succeeded in shutting off transcontinental traffic, but the Rio Grande is a distributing channel for the Burlington, Alton, Kansas Pacific and Norih- western railways and covers a large terri- tory, The Rio Grande has no men in line at Puneblo except voluateers and there is a tie-up at Salida. Between Denver and Pueblo the trainmen are taking out their runs regularly. The Gulf road is operating north of Den- ver and is preparing, with the pratection of United States troops and-deputy marshals, to open up the southern' line. Seventy-five more deputies were sent today to Trinidad, where it is intended to make wholesale ar- rests of striker: Santa Fe trains are running to and from the east and an attempt will be made to open up the line west as soon as the troops arrive at Raton. At last accounts the troop from Fort Marcy, enroute to Raton, were near Las Vegas, where their train was stalled, owing to the desertion of the engineer and fireman. Union Pacifie, Burlington and Rock Island trains to and from Denver are running reg- ularly. As no freight trains are run, vast quantities of freight are being sent by ex- press. Al perishable goods are reccived at the sender's risk. Denver's coal doubtful partment supply Is short and it is if the cable company's cars can be another day. WILL ENJOIN THE STRIKERS. Railroads Passing Through Towa Will Ask the Protection of Courts. DUBUQUE, July 3.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—The Chicago Great Western, Chi- Milwaukee & St. Paul and Illinois Central will apply to Judge Sanborn at St. Paul tomorrow for an injunction against the strikers. The bill was prepared here tonight and is similar ‘to that presented to Judge Grosscup in Chicago vesterday. United States District Attorney Sells in- structs United States Marshal Desmond that he will prosecute those Mterfering with the mails. Desmond has refused a request from Sioux City for deputies, as he has no in- structions from Attorney General Olney to appoint any. The Great Western brought two freights from Chicago this afternoon. One crew de serted here. Sells and Desmond have gone to Sioux City, where the latter will apply to Judge Wool- son for an injunction to restrain the strikers in Iowa from interfering with the mail trains, REGULAKS ORDLRED OUT. cago, r ops from Fort Russell to Colorado, CHEYENNE, July 3.—(Special Tele to The Bee)—Two companies of th teenth infantry, United States regulars, have been ordered from Fort Russell to Colorado.

A telegram sent to the officia Rawlins is to the effect that the city council there met this morning and ordered United States Marshal Rankin and his deputies to leave the city at eneg.

OMAHA HAS ITS STRIKERS Firemen on the Line to 8t, Paul Left Their Engines Yesterday, SEVERAL TRAINS THEREFORE ABANDONED But the Trouble Looked Never Came( tion for Last Night neral Loeat Situas yre Serions—How it Appears ln Detail, It anything, the situation in Omaha was more stralned yesterday than at since the Pullman-American Rallway union strike was Inaugurated, the trouble experi enced by the Omaha road at Sioux City being transferred to this city, though in a minor degree. While a number of the fire- men connected with the Paul Minneapolis & Omaha road refused to take their places on the thereby tying up travel to a large the officials of the company managed by dint of herculean efforts to get several loaded trains out of the yards. No. 2, which Is scheduled to leave the Webster street station at 1 » m., managed to clear the yards at 12:55, but the delay, according to the authorities, was due to the loading of a large amount of express matter. Trouble was any time Chicago, St gines, extent looked for last the departure of train No. 22 for St. Paul which leaves here at 5:30 p. m., but the an ticipated difficulties failed to materialize, for the reason that was abandone ne equipment being available, inasmuch as’ th Sjoux City & F train, No. 21, which is due to arrive in Omaha at 9:40 a. w., had been abandoned at Sioux City There was a considerable crowd about the platform of the Webster street station, evi dently drawn thither to see a conflict ! tween the employes of the company and the strikers, but it became noised around about ten minutes before the time for the depa ure of the train that it would not be sent forward, and, shortly after, the crowd dwin- dled to a few passengers waiting for other trains out of the = depot. On the Council Bluffs side the St train was sent out via Manilla instead the usual route last night, notwithstand that the train on the Sioux City road, due at m., had not reached the Bluffs at a te hour last night. Concisely, the situation on the Omaha line at this point is threatening, and there seen to be a well founded rumor that the strikers here will follow the tics of their brethren in Sioux City. It was also rumored that on Thursday morning an order would be issued from the general offices of the company in St. Paul laying off all superfluous help pend ing the settiement of the strike difficulties This is in o with the action of the North western, taken yesterday through Geners Manager Whitman, whereby 10,000 men ge a lay off because of no work to do. LAY OFFS ALL AROUND. But the Northwestern is not alone the reduction business, both the Milwaukee and Rock Island having decided upon the same policy, and the freight forces of be were given notice t it would be timo to take a vacaton until th needed. "reight Agent Denton of the Rock Island at Council Bluffs is holding down his fice all alone, his subcrdinates being laid off for want of work to do. The oftica and platform forces at the Unicr Pacific transfer were each cut in half yes- terday morning, -and will take tarns i: working, a day at a time. This 18 probably a forerunner of what will bo the policy of the Union Pacific at ail points, and a general order from Mr. Dick- inson may be looked fcr at any time should the strike continue over Thursday. South Omaha packers were feeling jubilant last evening over the information from the Missouri Pacific that it would take pack'ng housa product for St. Louis and southwest- n points, General Maniger Doddridge hay- ing succeeded in lifting the boycott in the the strikers at St. Louis and Carendolet having gone back to work While Omaha continues to be exceedingly fortunate in the matter of the strike, it was rumored last night that the A. R. U. would attempt_to enlist all Western Union and Postal Telegraph operators in the cause, and it 75 per cent of the lightning manipulators in this city could be induced to join the union they would be called out with their Chicago and St. Louls brethren. Headquarters of the Omaha lines will be closed today, but while the small boy fires his cannon crackers the heads of depart- ments will be found at their several desks watching the progress of the strike and ad- vising with subordinates as to the course t be pursued in dealing with the strikers. [ will be an anxious day for every railroad magnate in the country, and for some ot them it may prove a sorry Independence day. President Clark, G evening on Paul of 8004 reral Manager Dickin- son, Assistant Solicitor Kelly, Car Ac- countant Buckingham, Superintendent P. J. Nichols and Secretary Oir were in consul- tation at Union Pacific headquarters until a late hour last night, the serious condition of affairs at Rawlins requiring close attention from this end of the Overland system. Freight train No. 378 will be the only freight train sent out on the souri Pa- cific today. It will leave at 7:05 a. m This is but carrying out the usual Sunday program. S MOVED. Difficulty in Yards — Ti T es Knocked to Hoping against hope, railway officials had thought that being situated so peculiarly to the make-up of trains the tie-up might not extend to this city, but Monday night and yesterday firemen on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha line left their engines, almost tying up the busi- ness in the Omaha yards.

SIOUX CITY'S MOB CON States and Muanicipal Authoritics Unable to Render Assistance. SIOUX CITY, July 3.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The strikers control the situa- tion here tonight. At 6 o'clock the engi- neers and firemen joined the strike on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road, making the tie-up of that line complete. The Sioux City & Pacific and Sloux City & Northern were the only roads to get freights out to- day. The strikers, 2,000 strong, have been in the yards y, and as a result no freight or passenger trains got out on the Omaha or Illinois Central. No freights were permitted to go on the Milwaukee, but the trains went out with ‘“scab” 0is United passenger crews. The strikers openly defied the United States marshal and refused to permit rail- road men to open spiked switches and let mail trains pass. Tonight the United States marshal and deputies and sheriffl and deputies tried to get a mail and passenger train out on the Sioux City & Pacific. The mob swarmed around them and drove them from the tracks. The train hal to be abandoned. The sheriff and police are powerless to prevent the mob from spiking switches, holding trains and ditching cars. The urth regiment of the state militia has been in the barracks since last night ready to move, but Governor Jackson has so far refused to order them out. It s believed the scenes of tonight will bring out the militia in the morning and possibly some regulars from Fort Omaha. The railroad companies here all served the county and c'ty with notices today that they will hold both responsible for all dam- age to property and business. Business of all kinds is at a -tandstill, and hundreds of through passengers, who were held on the trains last night, are in the city, unable to get out. ¥ Involve the Burlington.

Telegram rn dis- shops tice, THROUGHTHESENATE - Tariff Bill Has Passed Another of the Stages in Its Enactment, VOTE WAS THIRTY-NINE TO THIRTY-FOUR Hill Voted with the Republicans and Allen with the Democ-ats, NEBRASKA'S JUAIOR His Oharges of Fad Faith Met with Irony and £arcastic Sympathy, MEMSER BAITED WILL TAKE EFFECT ON AUGUST FIRST Last endments Added the and Dute Fixed for 1ts Operatic to Mensure to psation at th of the Debat Close TON, July 3.—In the midst of excitement, at 10:45 tonight, after debated for three months and the tariff bill, amended to take ust 1, 1894, passed the senate by a vote of 34 to 39, a strict party vote, ex Mr. Hin, voted with the repub- against the measure. The popullsts divided their strength, two, Messrs. Kyle nd Allen, in favor of the bill, and two, Messrs. Peffer and Stewart, against it. At the very opening of the last day of the great struggle Mr. Harris, the veteran parlia- wrian in charge of the bill, announced that it would pass today, the 3d of July, or there would be no Fourth of July for the senate of the United States. Until evening there was no sensational incidents. A hard, but hopeless fight made by the repub- licans under the leadership of Mr. Sherman to place wool on the dutiable list. Through the Instrumentality of Mr. McLaurin of Mis sissippl the action of the committee of the whole in exempting the aries of United States judges and the president of the United States from the operation of the income tax was preserved in the seuate. A very ime portant plece of legislation in the shape of “n anti-trust law was placed on the bill as a rider without even so much as a division, It was designed, as Mr. Voorhees, chalrman of the finance co ce, sald, to insure “integrity in the execution of the law,” it being admitted that any tariff system af- forded abundant opportunity for the formas tion of trusts and combincs. The galleries were filled to overflowing, many prominent ladies and gentlemen being present to wite ness the final disposal of the bill and the scene was truely a brilliant one. Half a l;\llrlr(—vl members of the house were on the floor. Intense having been one day, effect Au cept licans votin HAD ALLEN ON THE RACK. It was amid such surroundings that the climax occurred, when Senator Allen, the Nebraska populist, smarting under the sting of a double defeat, in thundercus tones de- nounced the democratic members of the finance committee and charged them with bad faith in taking advantage of his ignor- ance of parliamentary procedure to induce him to offer the amendment, thus releasing their democratic colleagues under the caucus agreement for voting for them. He harangued the senate and the galleries, and intimated that he had been tricked, Mr. Vest, on behalf of the committes, hotly denied the charges and upbraided Mr. Allen for delivering his phillipic while in pique over his own defeat. Mr. Manderson seemed to enjoy the plight of his associate, and, with an irony that burned and a sarcasm that withered, he ex- tended his sympathy and warned him to be- ware before he again allied himself with the democrats. He found too late that he was unhorsed. Mr. Jones of Arkansas also drove the Iron into the Nebraskan's soul. He challenged the truth of his statements and scored him unmercifully for attempting to place the committee in a false light. For an hour after the excitement caused by this exchange of criminations occurred the proceedings were extremely dull. Mr. Power made a final effort to secure a duty on wool. Mr. Pettigrew tried to get through a pro- vision for a tarift commission, Mr, Mander- son made a last attempt to substitute a diminishing bounty for the sugar schedule, Mr. Shoup of Idaho, in an almost inaudible voice, read a speech in support of a duty on mineral waters, and Mr. Smith explained why he should vote for the bill, income tax and all. Meantime the senators, with coats and vests off and with palm leaf fans in their hands, sat languldly in their seats or saun- tered about the chamber, waiting for the final moment. As the hands of the clock drew towards the hour of 10 the final speeches began. Mr. Allen, somewhat to the wonderment of the galleries, after his oute break early in the evening, told the senate why he had concluded to vote for the bill, LAST SCENE OF ALL. The most dramatic incident occurred when he took his seat and Mr. Hill arose and in ringing and fervid tones entered an eloquent protest against the “popuiistic income tax" and arraigned his party assoclates for belng false to their party pledges and thelr coun= try. The republicans drew around him as he spoke, the galleries leaned over as he dealt his sledge hammer blows. When, in conclusion, he declared that he would not support the bill, a wave of applause, quickly checked by the vice president, swept over the gallery, A final word of protest fol= lowed from Messrs. Aldrich, Chandler and Manderson, and the supreme moment was at hand. The bill was placed upon its passage and the roll was called When Mr. Blanchard declined to vote on the first roll call and Mr. Caffery, the othep Louisiana senator, voted against it, a shudder. ran through the democratic side of the chams ber. The fate of the bill might depend upon the vote of Mr. Irby. When his name was reached the democrats heaved a sigh of re~ lief as he voted “‘yea," After the completion of the roll call, als though it was apparent that the bill would carry without the vote of either Mr. Caffery or Mr. Blanchard, Mr. Carery changed his v to “yea," explaining that he had voted no as a protest against the bad faith of the finance committee in abandoning the sugar bounty provision, and Mr. Blanchard joined his collea pon the announcement of the vote, 34 to 39, the galleries cheered, democrats threw bills high In the alr, and amid a scene of jubiiation the senate journed, the lights in the dome were exs tinguished and the tariff bill had passed, ROUTINE OF THE DAY, Mr. Harrls promised at the opening of the senate session that a final vote on the tarift bill should be reached during the day, if there were no factious obstructions. Mr. Aldrich virtually pledged republicans to pers mit the bill to progress expected amends ments to the paragraphs on burlaps, ect,, and collars and cuffs were quickly adopted. M herman moved for the transfer of raw wool and hair of the ¢ and goat to the free list. Lost, 32 to 33, The senate has fixed the date when the tarift bill goes Into effect as August 1, 1594, Mr. Harris asked unanimous consent that turthier debate on the wool schedule be under the five-minute rule, but Mr. Power objected.
