Debs, president of the American Rai union; George W. Howard, its vice pre dent; Sylvestre Keliher, secretary, and L. W. Rogers, ons of its directors, and shortl thereafter the men were arrested. They are charged with conspiracy to commit an unlawful act—that is, to block the passage of the United States mails. Joined in the indictment with the four leaders of the rail- way unfon was James Murwin, the Rock Island striker who threw the switch which deralled @ mail train at Blue Island on the night of June 30. Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers were taken into the office of District Attorney- Milchrist immediately after their arrest and after a few hours' detention were released on bail by Judge Grosscup, their bonds being $10,000 each. The federal grand jury spent but a short time on the case of Debs and the other Jeaders of the strike. The case against them for conspiracy had been prepared some days ago by Attorneys Milchrist and Walker and the grand jurors had not been | at work two hours when the indictment was ready to be presented in court. It was based on some of the public utterances, and this was clinched by the original orders in writ- ing sent out by Debs directing men on the .different rallways to quit work, and this stopped the running of mail trains. A large number of telegrams sent by Debs from his headquarters, giving directions which ex- tended the blockade of trains,.were submit- ted to the grand jury by E. M. Mulford, manager of the Western Union Telegraph company, under a subpoena issued by the United States court, Judge Grosscup over- ruling the telegraph company's protest that the messages were privileged documents and exempt from seizure. Mr. Mulford had left the grand jury room but a few minutes when the grand jury filed out and walked into Judge Grosscup’s court. Forem:n San- born handed to the court the indictment, which was at once taken to the office of the district attorney. Marshal Arnold and & deputy were sent out with the warrants. RUSTLING FOR BAIL. Shortly before 5 o'clock Marshal Arnold returned with President Debs as a prisoner. Debs was taken into Mr. Milehrist's private office. He was accompanied by Theodore Debs, his brother, who was with him when the arrest was made. There were the offico when the head of A. R. U. arrived as & prisoner, Bdwin Walker and Mr. Mil- christ, and these were soon joined by Judge Grosscup, who had been summon:d to take bail. Debs sent his brother out to look for bondsmen, and while waiting for his friends to appear sat with the judge, the two at- torneys for the government and the mar- shal who had arrested him, while the door of the office was locked to all comers It was not long until Deputy Logan appeared with Keliler, the sccretary. In a short time Theodore Debs roturned with Attorney L. W. Bisbee, who had been retained to de fend the prisoners. At 6 o'clock Deputy Logan appeared with Rogers and Vice Presi- dent Howard. The latter was the only one of the four whose face bore traces of an or resentment as he was taken into the back room. The others took their arrest ealmly. It was 7:30 before Clerk Burnham appeared and the bail bond was legally ac cepted. The bondsmen are Aldermen Willlam Fitz- gerald, who qualified to the sum of $250,000 and Willlam Skakel, who qualified for $50, the bonds belng in the sum of $10.000 { each. It was some time later when the formallty of signing was completed and the fndicted ones left the building in company with thelr bondsmen. Marshal Arnold found Debs In his apartments at the Leland when S tookshim into custody. The strike leader as sitting in an outer room, which he used an office, when the marshal appearcd, and Rhere were several persons with him. When the marshal introduced himself Debs stepped into an inner room, usking the mar shal to go with him, and then (he marshal showed bis warrant “I am ready to go with you," said Debs with apparent cheerfulness, as he walked 1nto the outer room and reached for his hat and walking stick. “I have been Indicted | and arrested,” he said to those who were in his office, and without any further remark Be hurried away with the marshal.

The yard men of this road, who were forced to quit work by the str.kers yesterday, were all ordered to report for duty today. USING NONUNION MEN, Lake Shore Trying to Move Trains with Green Hands at € 1. CLEVELAND, July 10.—The railway mana- gers are today making an organized effort to raise the freight blockade. Another large batch of nonunion men were brought into the city from the east about midnight last night. These, with a number of others who arrived yesterday, were put to work in the Lake Shore yards this morning. The com- pany_says these men are experienced hands, and’ That if no resistance is offcred by the old men, and if they are afforded ample pro- tection, the blockade on that road will be quickly raised. One” hundred and fifty policemen are massed at 'the down town stations, and United States Marshal Haskell has 350 depu- ties in readiness-for a call. At the Big Four yards an attempt was made early today to get out a freight train, but a conductor could not be found to take charge of it, and. the train still remains on The Nickel Plate succeeded in. getting a mail train and one freight started for the weat this morning It i3'm question, how- ever, whether these trains will go farther than Bellevue, as the read is reported to be completely tied up at that point and west of there. The other roads have so far made but slight efforts to resume work, apparently awaiting the outcome of the proposed break on the Vanderbilt lines, where it seems to be agreed that the strike shall be broken first, it possible. Passenger trains are running as usual on the Big Four, Lake Shore, Baltimore & Ohio, C. & P., Erie and other lines, WITHOUT MOLESTATION, Northern Prcific Trains Pass Through Bil- lings and Livingston, Mont. ST. PAUL, July 10.—All day passengers are running on schedule time. No night trains are being run on the Duluth branch of the Omaha until that road is sure of the protection of the Wisconsin authorities at Spooner. All wires have been cut or are down at that place, and no direct word has been received from there since yesterday, and the situation is thought very grave. In this city an increased amount of freight is being handled daily. The advices from the Northern Pacific coast train today are that it passed Blllings, Mont., safely, early today. The mayor of Livingston telegraphed Gen- eral Manager Kendrick: “Don’t let your train pass Livingston. If it does, not a bri will be “left standing here.” Mr. Kendrick eplied: “The train will go by. If inter- fered with, not another brick will be laid in Livingston.” The train passed Liviug ston without molestation. 5 INCREASED TRAFFIC AT ST. LOUIS, Freight Wurehiouses Reop ed and Trains Belng Dispatched More Freely. ST. LOUIS, July 10.—The condition of trat- fic at this point is reaching a normal condi- tion, On the west side of the river and on the transfer systems the yards and engines are fully manned. On the east side the freight warehouses this morning reopened for business, and the volume of traffic hand- Ied Is showing an increase, the forces of men at present at work being large enough to handle more than now comes to them! A large percentage of new men are handling the switch targets, though there Is more than a sprinkling of old men on that side of the river. So far as the divisions terminating at St. Louls on all the roads are concerned, there is no trouble with road crews now ex cept on the Loulsville & Nashviile and Mobile & Ohlo. The strike last night on the Clover Leaf has not had any appreciable effect here beyond the capacity of the jolnt employment bureau here to take care of.

EW ALBANY, Ind., July 10.—The L. E. & L. (alr line) rallway passenger traln for St. Louls was attacked by the strikers at Hoffman's switch about one mile outside the city.

That matter is left in the hands cf the gov ernment.” ON THE VERGE OF REBELLION, Strikers at Sacramento Ave Heavily Armed and Say They Will Eight. SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—There are many conservative men of affairs here who fear and believe that tomorrow will develop a desperate conflict between federal soldiers and the striking American Raflway unfon men and thelir allie acramento i the threat f the situation Is shown in the warlike precautions ing point. The seriousness that the army au to 11 o'clock this morning the federal au thorities have made every move In secret At about that hour the big ferry steamer Alameda steamed out from the Oakland mole and stec directly across the bay to the Presidio wharf. At 11:40 the steamer had effected the landing and there was all th noise and bustle of a hasty embarkation of horse and infantry. Two (roops of infantry and a battery of artillery were rushed on board guns and Hetchkiss can- non were in evidence and Commandant Gra ham at the Presic of the expedition. The Alameda with her formid able looking cargo steamed across the mouth of the Sacramento river, but so guarded had been the army autherities that nothing was known until the ship started whether ) was In comma her destination was the state capital or Oakland. It is not probable that the troops can be landed at Sacramento before mid night ation of President Cleveland's ot The publi proclamation extending the condition martial law to California caus excitement in Sacramento, but t noon when it became positively known that Colonel Graham and his soldicrs ‘to the number of over 300 were already enroute to reinforce the state troops at the state cap. ftal the excitement there became wild and on inous. The strikers grew louder in th threat st any further attempt of the troog r the railroad yards and depot and thelr leaders loudly proclaimed that the Southern Pacific company would not be per- mitted to move its trains MARCHING WITH GUNS Nor were the hostile demonstrations con- fined to talk alone. Armed men soon ap- peared in the streets. As if in preparation for battle, they transferred their guns and ammunition fr their storehouse on J street to their headqua nearer the rail- road yards. No attempt at concealment was made, The strikers marched boldly through the streets bearing thelr weapons on their shoulders and they were loudly cheered by hundreds of sympathizers. It is claimed the A. R. U. arscual holds at least 1,600 rifies and shotguns and quantities of ammunition The strikers who came in on the train seized at Dunsmuir brought in over 500 rifles, which they had collected at Dunsmuir, Red Biuft and Sissons. Another train from Truckece also brought in guns and ammunition. This afternoon a number of strikers were practicing with their rifles on the Yolo side of the river” There are now over 2,000 of these strikers in Sacramento to resist the federal and state troops. Flushed with their victory over the United States marshals and police on Tuesday last and a complete vic- tory over more than a thousand state militia- men on the following day, they are in just the mood o resist the United States regulars tomorro; The steamer Alameda, with 300 soldiers from the Presidio, arrived at Mare Island this afternoon and took out 300 marines. Then the Alameda steamed around the point and the men were transferred to two Sacra- mento river steamers, which had been lying in wait. One troop of cavalry was landed on each bank and will march to Sacramento along the river as an advance guard to the boats. General Graham, while at Mare Island, received orders from Washington di- recting him to proceed to Sacramento and leaving the conduct of the whole campaign to his discretion. It is anticipated that the strikers will attempt to Interfere with the progress of the troops, but as each boat carries Gatling and Hotchkiss guns an at- tack from the strikers on the river is not feared and the guard on shore will prevent offensive operations there. There was some idea of transporting troops from Vallejo by train, but as soon as the strikers at South yallefo heard they were coming they killed all engines, ditching one, and spiked the switches, thus effectually blocking the track. This afternoon the crews from the Charleston, Monterey, Thetis, Marion and Independence were landed at Mare Island for riot drill They comprise about 500 men and will leave for Oakland tonight. ENGINEERS WILLING TO WORK. In the face of the general preparations of the strikers for resistance the attitude of the locomotive engincers is attracting atten- tion. Representatives of the brotherhood waited upon General Superintendent Fillmore at Sacramento this morning and announced that they were ready to return to work at a moment's notlce. Superintendent Fillmore promised to notify them If he decided to accept their services, At all points in the state save Sacramento and possibly Oakland the events of today have turned in favor of the railroad company. At Oakland no trains were moved. The strikers and railroad officials there are anxiously awaiting the appearance of the United States marines that have be or- dered to that point. In this city and at San Jose passenge® train service was resumed today over the coast division. Rallroad offi- clals say freight trains will be move morrow. At wo point on the coast division was violence offered by the strikers. In southern California the blockade is broken. Local trains are running on both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific.

Bvery fiber in our civil structure is strained to the breaking point. The shadows of face tional hatred hover over our fair land with terrible forebodings. The arrogant lash of superlority is being applied by the corporas tions with relentless fury, and the chasm between the n sses and the clisses is grow ing deeper and wider with each succeeding If peace s restored and this nation saved from acts repulsive to the consclence of all Ch cre must be wise action, and that quickly. Sincerely bellev- ing that the flames of discord are being purposely fanned by the rallway Gorpora- tions at the risk of the life of the govern- an people t ment I take the liberty to appeal to you and throu you to the conscience of the ple, imploring you o lay down the implements of toil for a short season, and and with a pa- to promote the public welfare, use the power of your aggregated num- bers through peaceful assemblages to create a healthy public sentiment In favor of an amicable eettlement of the issues growing out of the recent strike of the Pullman em- ployes, and you are further requested not to return to your usual avocations until @ settlement of the pending trouble fs made known to you through some authentic source, In the present strained relations between corporatioms and their employes is involved a principle near agd dear to all American citizens, the right of labor to present ita grievances to the owners and representatives of corporate capital. The Pullman Palace Car company refused to arbitrate the differ- wholo pe under the banner of:pesca triotic desir ences~between itself and its employes on the ground that cars were built below cost, and therefore there was nothing to arbis trate. But the conclusion of every um- prejudiced mind must be that it such were the true facts it could have nothing to fear at the hands of an arbitration committee. But the Pullman company. goes further in its autocratic policy than a refusal to arbi trate. It has refused to join with the busi- ness men and the board of aldermen of Chicago to discuss the question as to whether there is anything to arbitrate or not, and behind this autocratic policy stands the managers' association of the railway corporations, backed by the United States . army as the alders and abettors of this soclal crime. LABOR DARE NOT REFUSE. Suppose the Pullman company had invited organized labor to arbitrate and organized las bor had declined the invitation and refused to. uss the question as to whether there wam anything to arbitrate or not. It is needless to y a wave of popular indignation would obliterate every labor dis organization from the face of .this country and no more could he formed for the next fifty years. The stigma of such a position would follow every name: connected with organ ed labor to the grave. But in the present crisis the corporations, whose wealth has been created by labor, take. the position that they have prior rights and ir creator like the brigands of olden ¢, rob the laboring masses and employ the sword and the bludgeon and set up a throne. on the hones of the vanquished and declare. their divi e right to rule over the balange of mankind, . The Pullman company claims, notwithe standing the wages of their employes were reduced to the starvation point, there is because cars have been t It neglects to state that the stock of the company has been watered three times over and that the company has nothing to arbitrat built at a loss, been able to pay its regular dividends on water and all, and that its stocks have long been and are at the present time at a pres mium on the stock markets. Mr., Pullman cries poverty to his starving employes and then retre ta to his princely summer mane man's Island in the St, Lawrence river and wires the business men of Chicago he has nothing to arbitrate. Like a Nero he slon on Pul laughs In luxury while devoted martyrs burn.
