The committce of seven appointed by the labor leaders at Uhlich’s hall called upon Mayor Hopkins promptly at 10 o'clock today. They asked him to arrange for a citizens committee, drawn from influential business men, which should undertake to_force Pull man to submit to arbitration. Mayor Hop. kins referred them (o the committee ap- pointed for this purpose by the city coun- ofl a week ago, and they agreed to meet that committee at 1 o'clock. They told the mayor they were under orders to report early Wednesday morning. WENT TO CALL ON WICKES The committee of representafives of the Iabor unions met the committee of four from the city council at 1 o'clock and after a full discussion as to the gravity of the onse the city council committee was in- formed by the labor committce that unless the Pullman company agreed to arbitrate tomorrow night all organized labor in Cook county would quit work on Tues- day " might. The chairman of the city council committee suggested that a committes of five prominent business men be invited to visit the Pullman company, not as arbitrators, but to determine if the Pullman company has anything to arbitrate. He also suggested an arbitration committee consisting of two; officials of the Pullman company, two prominent citizens to be ap- pointed by the judges of Cook county, and the fifth to bo chosen by the four. The committee representing the laboring men appointed a subcommittee of three, and they, with the council committee, went at 2 o'clock to confer with Vice President Wickes of the Pullman company to see whether he would sdbmit to the Investiga- tlon of the committee of five, At 2:50 p. m. it was antounced that Mr. ‘Wickes, vice president of the Pullman com- pany, had absolutely refused to receive the committee.

President Jeftrey will try to open the Denver & Rio Grando railrond to the west today, and with id of the employes who have remained the company, protected by United marshals, there Is a good prospect that he will succeed. At 7 a today a special train pulled out out for wouth on which a committee of ity-six employes, representing the engineers, con- ductors, firemen, brakemen, switchmen and telegraphers in this district, who have re- fused to strike. They go to plead with the strikers at Pucblo, Salida, Grand Junction and other ponts to return to work. It is understood they will be taken back without prejudice If they return at once, but this will be their last chance. Following the special train, in was sent out for the west at 8:30. On a4 were fifty deputy marshals for duty at Salida under Judge Hallett's injunction. A force of deputies is already stationed at Grand Junction and _troops have been sent thither from Salt Lake.

FRANCISCO, July 9.—The twelfth e great strike on the Southern Pa- stem closed with not a wheel turning California. At Sacramento, Oak- land, San Jose and this point the situation is unchanged. The Southern Pacific man- agers are utterly helpless and appear to make no effort to resume trafiic. Tonight there is an added excitement, however, cansed by the news that United States ma- rines from Mare island and regular troops have been ordered to Oakland to begin the fight that the Southern Pacific managers have so long been waiting for the govern- ment to make. Leaders of the strikers in Oakland say there will be no resistance to the troops, but they openly declare that the strikers have resolved to conduct a guer- rilla warfare. Every one knows what this means, and many citizens are fearful of the events of tomorrow. Governor Mark- ham has been warned of the approaching danger and is hurrying from Los Angeles to the state capital. The fact that the author- ities have decided to begin operations against the strikers at Oakland and not at Sacra- mento, where the men have already been angercd and provoked to the point of arming themselves with rifles, is significant. In southern California the railroads seem to have all but broken the blockade, horn Pa- SAN day of cific in northern N THE COAST. Mails to Be Sent to the Coast Towns by Stenmers. WASHINGTON, July 9.—The absence to- day of the riotous scenes that have marked tho past few days is a source of special sat- Istaction to the postal officials. Postmaster General Bissell sald tonight he was greatly gratified at tho quietness Into which things settled during the day and the generally marked improvement in the mail service. Arrangements to relieve the mail service in Calfornia are bemg made by the depart- ment. The Pacific Mail steamship company will probably carry mails from San Fran- cisco along the coast in both directions, the boats to stop at many of the points on the coast to deliver and collect the mails, gotlations for this purpose are almost completed and a telegram is expected at the department tomorrw from Division Supe; tendent Flint at San F co_announc the plan to be put in immediate opera- tion. The plan, if effected, is to be in force until the strike is declared offt and a better condition of affairs exists in the state. About a dozen special service routes have been ordered to connect tied-up roads with unin- terrupted roads 4t available points. Most of these are in California, Oregon and Montana, One Result of t PENDER, Neb., July 9.—(Special to The Bee.)—The merchants are hauling their goods from Sioux City by teams as a result of the strike. They claim that the differ- ence in the cost of hauling by team and by rail is so small as to make the former method preferable, as it affords employment for men and teams and keeps the money at home, and it is now und tood that Pender's merchants will all go into e of haul ing their goods by team, reg: less of the strike This means a boycott on the rail- road and the employment of every available team in Pender and vicinity. The cost of hauling goods from Sioux City by rail is from 19 to 24 ceuts per 100 pounds, while it has b n succes-fully demonstra here th past week that goods can be hauled by team at 30 cents per 100 pounds and give a man and team $3 per day, and the business men say they would much rather pay the few cents extra for teams, 1t is believed that the scheme will not only prove entirely sat- Isfactory, but will be a godsend to the idle in this Vicinity, M url Pueltic Switchmen Strike, KANSA CITY, July 9.—~The night switching force, twenty men In all, on the Missouri Pacific, went out tonight, and it Is sald the day force will strike in the morn- ing.

REINFORCEMENTS FOR CHICAGO, Spechil Trains Carrying Unele Sam's Soldlers w8 Fast ns ble. CHICAGO, July 9.—The fmpression was general about military headquarters today that the proclamation of the president, to say nothing of the firing of the troops Sat- urday and Sunday, has had a telling ef- fect on the riotous element, as well as on the sensible people, who have taken heed and stayed away from localities where trouble is likely to occur. No serfous r ports of mobs gathering were recelved at General Miles' office, and this was taken as an indication that the situation was gener- ally quieter. Adjutant gram today Ninth United thoy had arri accldents they General Martin received a tele- from Colonel Bartlett of the States Infantry stating that at Toledo, and that barring would reach Chicago not later than 8 this afternoon. The regiment is on a special train of the Erle road, and an effort is being made to shorten the running time as much as possible, \o Sixth cavalry troops, under command of Colonel Gordon and stationed at Fort Niobrara, Neb., who left Valentine, Neb.,at 6 o'clock last night with six officers and 187 is a detachment entirely of cavalry, and the men composing It have seen some of the hardest and most trying service of the army for years. They expect to ar- rive in Chicago on the Burlington at § o'clock tonight. Three troops of the Third cavalry and three batteries of artillery comprise the re- inforcements from Fort Riley, Kan, that left last night, and they are expected to ar- rive early this evening over the Santa Fe route in command of Major Randall. Colonel Crofton of Fort Sheridan said to- day that since President Cleveland’'s warn- ing to all law abiding citizens to stay at lome, the troops will be more willing to fire, and that when they do so it will be to kill and to spare none. The mayor has called on the governor for another regiment of state troops. o'clock men, MAY STRIKE AT NEW YORK. One of Debs' Envoys Says Such a Thing ls Possible. NEW YORK, July 9.—John Ryan, who comes here as the representative of Presi- dent Debs, was at the Continental today. “The strike” said Mr. Ryan, “will not stop here. My errand is to organize the la- borers of the east. I am confident of suc- ceeding. My work up to the present time has borne fruit ten times more than I ex- pected it would. I was cautious at first about approaching the leaders upon the sub- ject of striking in sympathy, but my first attempt has convinced me there no ground for holding back. I was somewhat surprised to ascertain that the feeling here to strike was pretty warm. I go to Boston on the next train. I will not say that labor in this city will strike out of sympathy for the men in_ Chicago, but will say they are liable to, which amounts to about the same thing. In the event of the strike reaching Buffalo, which, in my mind, is not a sure thing, it will not stop there. If the trouble continues five days longer all eastern roads will be ticd up. All wires are ready, and when Debs sees fit he will pull them. The lookout is for squally times until Pullman gives In. WEAKENING AT LOS ANGELES, Santa Fe Passenger Tralns Arriving and Departing ns Usual. LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 9.—The strik- ers are apparently losing ground rapidly at this point. The Santa Fe road dispatched another overland train this morning and nearly all the Santa Fe local trains arrived and departed on schedule time. The South- ern Pacific company Is also running many of its local passenger trains, and today made up a freight train for the east and one for Santa Barbara. Both trams will be dis- patched tonight or tomorrow morning. A large number of deputy marshals have been armed with rifles and ordered to report to- morrow morning to guard the passing of a passenger train north to San Francisco. The crowds at the railroad depots are gradually growing smaller. IOWA MILITIA WITHDRAWN. Strike Practically Over at Sloux City and Conditions Normal. SIOUX CITY, July 9.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—The railroad strike today is practically over. All roads are running trains and receiving perishable freight.

Many are applying for their old places. Preference {s being given the men who stood by the companies during the strike. Will Mect Openly or in Secret. CHICAGO, July 9.—The president’s procla- mation against the assembling of crowds and advising citizens to absent themselves from mobs or other gatherings, caused much renewed excitement today in Pullman. For- ward persons were not slow to claim that the federal authorities had entered into com- bination with the Pullman interests to break up the open air meetings that have been a daily feature in the town. “It we can't meet freely In the open air to discuss our wrongs,” sald one of them, “there is but one alternative. The tendency is to meet In secret. This s what forces secret socleties, and It carried out will make it nocessary for us to work under cover of recy as different sections of one whole, This Is what creates the secrecy of nihilism and it Is a conspiracy to break our spirit by scattering u: Trams Running in New Mexico.

W YORK, July 9.—Coples of the reso- lutions passed in the meeting in Chicago which declared that his presence in Chicago was imperative, were shown Mr. Gompers today, and after he had looked at the ques- tion in every light, Mr. Gompers sald to an Associated press reporter: “I have noth- ing whatever to say on the labor question or upon anything that the federation may or may not do, but I'm not going to Chicago until I am sent for. My duty is now here, and here I shall remain until I am called away." ¢ Saloons aud Gun Stores € BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 9.—The situa- tlon tonight Is more reagsuring. Frelght trains on two of the four roads are running, Fifteen militia companies and two batteries are on duty, with Major General Whiting of Mobile in command, who has lssued a public order that he will carry out to the letter the instructions given by Governor Jones in his proclamation of yesterday.

WASHINGTON July Notwithstanding the peaceful Sunday at Chlcago, the War de- partment officials this morning were full of grave apprehensions as to the future. A tele- gram recefved after midnight from General Miles makes the situation at Hammond much more serious than appears from. the news dispatches. The general says there were two distinet engagements between the United States troops and the mob; that several rioters were Killed, many wounded and a number arrested. Details are lacking in the dispatches as to the exact number of casual- tles. This action of the troops at Hammond marks another phase of the exercise of mill- tary power, namely, the dispersals of mobs that obstruct the free passage of interstate and mall trains. War department officials were not much concerned at the department over the whole- sale issue of warrants for the arrest of com- pany D, Fifteenth infantry, who first fired upon the mob with fatal results. It the military were to be subjected to such har- assment fn the discharge of their dutles there would bo an end to all effective service. But fortunately the question of legal juris- diction involved has been settled already by numberless decisions, including the declara- tion of the United States supreme court. It can be stated that under these decisions, it an attempt 18 made to serve these warrants, the army officer in command of the troops will refuse service, stating that he is act- ing under authority of the United States government. This will compel the abandon- ment of the proceedings before the state courts, and if it Is desired to proceed further in this matter, the ¢ mplainants must go be- fore the United States courts and ask for the issue of processes. In ordinary times this s usually graniad a«d the commanding officer Lias but to appear and show his au- thority for the order resulting in the killing. It is belicved to be improbable that a United % sies court will take action calculated to embarrass the military arm of the govern- ment at this time. While sympathy Is expressed with the un- fortunate “innocent spectators” who suffered from the encounter between the troops and the rioters, the authorities point to the fact that such people have been repeaedly warned to keep away from these turbulent gather- ings, and that the consequence of a failure on their part to obey must be on their own heads. The president, in his proclamation issued last night, has made clear the im- possibility of distingaishing between the guilty and the innocent in such gatherings. ORDERED OUT, THE NAVY. In line with the instructions issued Satur- day to General Ruger, commanding the De- partment of California, to take charge of the Central Pacific and open communication with the east, now interrupted, the department says another important'step was taken this morning by ordering the forces of the Mare Island navy yard .to co-operate with the troops at the Presidio, San Francisco, in main- taining the supremacy of the law. This ac- tion was taken because General Ruger's gar- rison at the Presidio had been so weakened by the detachment of a considerable force to operate at Los Angeles that he could not prudently operate single handed against the mob. The first move will be made at Oakland, where the railroads rom the east and south touch the bay. The situation there is re- ported to be very bad, and to add to the difficulty of General Ruger's task, it is be- lieved ‘that the great majority of the popula- tion is in sympathy with the strikers, al- though every day’s stoppage of trafiic is causing the loss of thousands of dollars to the fruit growers of the state. The addition of the naval contingent to General Ruger’s command (for they will act when on shore as troops subject to his orders), it is be- lieved will enable him to break the deadlock, and as General Brooke has the matter well in hand at Omaha on the eastern end of the Union Pacific railroad, it fis hoped that through traffic will be resumed soon. The available naval strength at San Fran- cisco and vicinity is estimated at 650 mon, including blue jackets and marines. In case only marines are needed they can be sent to Oakland by rail and operated on shore the same as regular troops. It Is not likely that the blue jackets will land unless it be- comes absoluely necessary to assist the troops. The war ships would be near at hand for any service that might be required of them. RAILROADS REFUSE TO ARBITRATE. Reports to the Postofice department say that the railroads have positively declined to accede to the demands of the strikers for arbitration, Their action is based on the theory that there are no grievances to arbitrate. This announcement was made about 1 o'clock today in the course of an interview over a direct wire from the Post- office department at Chicago. Postmaster General Bissell and Superintendent White were at this end of the wire, which has just been placed in the department bullding on account of the strike, and Division Su- perintendent Troy was at the Chicago end. The conference lasted half an hour, during which the regular runni z of almost all trains entering and leaving Chicago was an- nounced. BOSTON EXT TS A STRIKE, Policomen Held in Readiness to Quell Any Disturbanee That May Arise.

ANDERSON, Ind., July 9.—The trains on the Michigan division of the Big Four are running on schedule time with the old crews who struck a few days ago. The men regarded as unfair the order for them to strike whila the other divisions of the Big Four were allowed to remain open and in operation. The trouble here is appar- ently at an end. A. R, U. Men Time— TAKES PRECED Congressmen Stop Leglslation to Hear the " Nows from the Strike. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Senators and members of the house have evinced the greatest possible interest in the news of the strike. The Associated press bulletins, giv- ing in a concise form the latest events from the scene of action, have heen eagerly read by all. While the senate was not in session, the bulletins were received in the different committee rooms where there were meetings. The most important argument or discussion would be broken off while some senator would read the Associated press dispatch as it arrived. In the house the interest has been even greater, and each bulletin would be discussed by groups of members about the hall in preference to listening to what was being done in the regular proceedings. MOB ON THE NORT HERN PACIFIC, Nonunion Men Stoned and an Engine and Several Cars Wrecked at Sprague. MINNEAPOLIS, July 9.—A Spokane, Wash., special to the Journal says: News has reached here from Sprague that a riot is in progress there.
