White House Conference Ended Early -The President Satisfied With the Situation. Chairman Egan Reports All Passenger and Many Freight Trains Moving Out of Chicago. Labor Leaders Threaten Extreme Meas ures by Talking About a Gen eral Strike. Chicago, July 9.— Peace reigns in fTarsaw! The .-ame cannot be said of Chicago, for the tread of armed men is (till heard in the streets, and the wheels »f commerce still lag at the bidding of She A. R. U. Nevertheless, the war j •loud which has hung over this city md this land for the past ten days ihows distinct siens of liftintr. Instead Df stories of additional railroads tied up it various points throughout the country today's dispatches, almost without ex ception, bring advices of strikers re luming to work and an increased re sumption of traffic, amounting in some places to a return to normal conditions. The day in Chicago has passed with out a serious conflict between the riot ers and the armed forces now on duty here. The feature of the clay has been the action of early this morning after »n all-night session of the federated ' trades unions of Chicago, in deciding to call out all classes of labor Tuesday aft rrnoon at 4 o'clock unless George M. Pullman should have asrreed before the meridian of that day to settle the differ ences between his company and his striking employes by arbitration or otherwise. For reasons not known to the public Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, and his advisers subsequently decided to postpone the general walk-out and PAKAI.YTIC STROKE which they proposed to millet upon the business of Chicago until 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Late this afternoon, however, the an nouncement was made that President Samuel Gompers, or the American Fed eration of Labor, had called a meeting of the executive committee of that or ganization, to be held in this city on Thursday, and that he would leave New York for Chicago tomorrow even ing. In view of this, it is not believed that the federated trades ot Chicago will take precipitate action before con sultation with him. As President Gompers cannot reach Chicago before Wednesday night, it will be impossible to decide on a line of action to be pur- Bued before Thursday, and probably if it should finally be resolved to declare a peiiernl strike of all those combined forces it could not be put into effect be fore Friday morning. In this connection the Interesting question arises whether or not, if Presi dent Gompers allows himself to be hauled from New York to Chicago by non-union engineers and firemen, his visit will be of any particular profit One labor leader in Chicago said today that if he did 30 he might as well stay In New York. Another feature to be noticed in connection with the meeting of Chicago's federated labor is the fact which wan developed that there was in the meeting a large and influential con servative element, whoso action had practically BLOCKED THE JU.AX3 of the more hot-headed leaders until the latter, in the excitement consequent upon the reading of President Cleve land's proclamation, were enabled to stampede them and carry the strike res olution. There is reason to believe that •yon if the order for a general strike finally goeu fun!., many of those to wkomlt is-rtirecied will decline to obey It. So that witli tlio men already made Idle by the effect of the tie-up,tho walk out will not be nearly so important as anticipated by the leaders. What effect, if any, the action of Vice President Wickes, or the Pullman eom pHny, this afternoon in refusing in the Most positive manner to even meet a committee to consider the question of vV\\\l / / / / * "^"^^■fc_,^^^*"^^^^f ■ '^ 4f^*^* arbitration will have upon the final de" cisions of the labor leaders and their followers remains to be seen. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a jotnt committee ot the city council and of the federated trades unions called on Mr. Wickes and asked him to consent to the appointment of tive citizens, whose functions should not be those of arbitrators, but to deter mine whether or not the Pullman com pany had anything to arbitrate. The committee as proposed was to consist of two citizens chosen by the Pullman company, two by the circuit court judges and oue by these four. Mr. Wickes stated at the outset that arbi tration was impossible, but listened wiiile Aid. McGillen, chairman of the committee, talked of the gravity of the situation, and urged that the company taue steps looking to an amicable set tlement of the strike. At the close of the INTERVIEW, MB. WICKES retired with his attorneys, and, return ing after a brief consultation, decided that the company could not receive the proposed committee. Aid. McGilleii again urged that the company receive the committee, and in timated that a corporation that had de rived such benefit from the government as the Pullman company should be will ins to make some concessions for the welfare of the city and state. "We have nothing to arbitrate," Mr. Wickes replied. "We cannot receive such a committee." Tonight's action of the city council in respect of President Cleveland's order bringing federal troops to Chicago was forstalled by a larue number of indorse ments of his action sent him by promi nent business men of the city. The list of signatures included those of almost every conspicuous merchant, manu facturer and banker of Chicago. Touching the situation in general, it may be said that in Chicago the roads were all doing better than on any pre vious day since the strike began. Pas senger trains were moving with more or less regularity, and some freight traffic I has been cared for. A iar*e number of striking freight handlers of the .Illinois Central returned to work, and other roads noted accessions to their oper atine forces. At St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver, it was reported that RAILROAD BUSINESS had about returned to normal condi tions. Nashville aUo reported an im provement. About the only points at which the strike managers showed any gain were in the partial walk-out of firemen at j Fort Scott, Kan., the freight men on the Knnnwha & Michigan, at Charleston, W. Va., and the strike of the A. R. U. men on the Big Four at Mattoon. ft j will thus be seen at the leading railroad J centers the strikers -have made per ceptible losses, while their cains are at comparatively unimportant points. Regulations which prevailed in the j government building today were a near j approach to maftlal law. Deputy j marshals were stationed on every floor, : and everybody was challenged who ! could not show that he had business in I the building. j Tomorrow's sunrise will see .In this city one thousand more federal troops than there were this morning. These with the forces already in the held, it is I believed, will be able tomorrow to make j a further betterment in the .conditions I In this city, and the mobilization of ; troops and marines at San Francisco and of regulars at other points on the Pacific coast will suffice in all prob- Contluiie<l on Fourth rage. STRIKERS LOSING GROUND. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GETTING THE BLOCKADE OPEN RAPIDLY. WILL STAND BY AUTIIIIC. Five Thousand Railroad Kinployes nt New Haven Repudiate Debs — On the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio Pullmans Aro Running Regularly — China-* .> Packers Shipping. Los Angeles, Cal., July o.— The strikers are apparently losing r round 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 Southern 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 trains will be dispatched tonight or tomorrow moru injr. A lame number of deputy mar shals have been armed with titles and ordered to report tomorrow morning to guard the passenger train north to San Francisco. The crowds at the railroad depots are gradually growing smaller. STAND BY ARTHUR. Repudiation of Debs by Five Thousand Kailro.-ul Kmployea. N"W HAVEN, July 9.— The railroad employes in this city will pay no heed to the order Issueti by President Debs calling out all members ot the A. R. U. The employes of the Consolidated road, numbering over 5,000, have decided to act according to the instructions of Chief Arthur, and they will not go out. The other trades unions in the city have taken no action on the call issued by Debs. A strike of the local trades is improbable. RUN PULLMAN 9. Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio Have Clear Truck*. Washington, July 9. — Both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio systems now have clear lines to Chi cago. The order restraining the sale of tickets on the latter's Chicago line to (iarrett, intL, has been revoked, and passengers are now ticketed through to the city. The usual complements of Pullmans are attached to the incoming and outgoing trains. BROKEN AT CLEVELAND. Brotherhood of Trainmen Will Not Join the Strike. Cleveland, July 9.— Supt. Donald son, of the Erie road, said tonight that the all-night switching crew had re ported for duty, and would go to work if the company wished them to do so. Two switching crews were at work to day in the Erie yards. Three crews were also at work in the Nickel Plate yards, and several freight trains were sent out. It is expected that there will be a general attempt to resume work on all roads tomorrow, aud if there is to be trouble, which is doubted, it will come theu. Two lodges of the Brother hood of Trainmen have decided to have nothing to do with the strike, aud Di vision No. 14, Order of Iliiilway Con ductors, has taken similar action. Cleveland has not yet suffered to any great extent from the strike. There has been a slight advance in the prices of provisions, and coal is scarce, but the situation is by no means serious. STRIKE BROKEN. Passenger and Freight Trains Moving From Taconaa— Troops - on Guard. Tacoma, July 9.— This morning more troops arrived in the city, and tomorrow Troop E.Fourth cavalry, fully equipped, with Capt. Fred Wheeler in command, will leave Vancouver barracks for Ta coma. The two companies of infantry arrived today: Company Fourteenth regiment, stationed at Port Townsend, and a battery of light artillery from Fort Can by, Lieut. McClellana in com mand. The battery went right on to Seattle to quell a riot there among the strikers. The regulars and deputy marshals are guarding all the bridges on this division. .No trouble has oc curred thus tar, and none is feared. With the troops which arrived yester day there are 300 regulars on duty on this division of the Union Pacific, as well as 120 marshals and a dozen sher iffs. Thirty extra policemen are still on duty. The strikers remain very quiet. The strike here is broken. Al passenger trains are running regularly and the movement of freight trains began today. NOTICE TO MOBITES. Northwest Peace-Disturbers Must Disperse or Take Consequences. Washington, D. C, July 9.— The president has issued a proclamation substantially like the one issued last night, but referring to the troubles in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash ington, Wyoming, Colorado and Cali fornia. The proclamation names 3 p. in., July 10, as the time when all mobs must be dispersed and law-abiding citi zens return to their abodes. Chicago Packers Make Shipments. CHICAGO, July — Messrs. Armour, Swift and Morris are this afternoon hav ing their clerks and office employes make up trains of dressed meat, with the intention of sending them out to night. They have also instructed their country agents to resume shipments. Fort Hamilton Troops Ready to March. Brooklyn, July 9.— C01. Loomls L. Laugdon, commanding officer at Fort Hamilton, stated this afternoon' that he had received orders from Washington to hold himself in readiness to march at a moment's notice. Col. Langdou's command comprises about 1,200 men. Western Roads Recruiting Men. New York, July 9.— Charles Dodge, the agent of the several Western rail ways, is still engaging the able-bodied experienced men who make application. A uatch of men with sent west last night, another lot will leave tomeht, how many more Dodge would not suite. Improved at Halt Lake City. Salt Lake City, Utah, July 9.— There has been a decided improvement in passenger and freight traffic today. Trains are moving without interrup tion. PAINT PAUL MINN.. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 10, J894. PEACE AND GOOD ORDER. GEN. MILES' PROCLAMATION TO UNITED STATES TROOPS. ■/ •V — — — — v. .military DUTIES I>I!FINI2D. Law-Abiding Citizens Must Sepa rate From Law Breakers—bine mios of the Government to Be Dispersed. Captured or De stroyed—Courts to Be Obeyed, Civil Government Maintained. Chicago, July o.— The following order was issued this afternoon by Oeu. Miles: "To all United States troops serving in the war department of the Missouri: "The acts of violence committed dur ing the past few days in the stopping of mail trains aud post roads, the blocking of the iuterstate commerce, the open defiance and violation of the injunction of the United States court, aud the as-" saults upon the federal forces in the lawful discharge ot their duties, the destruction, pillage and looting of the inland commerce property belonging to the citizens ot the different states, and other rebellion and lawlessness have become of such a serious character that the duties of the military authorities are now clearly defined. "The proclamation of the president, the commander-in-chiet of the land and naval forces aud the state militia when called into service, is understood Dy the military to be in the interests of human ity and to avoid the useless waste of life if possible. It is an executive order for all law-abiding citizens to separate themselves from the law-breakers and those in actual hostility to the action of the United States court and the laws of the national government. He has de fined the attitude of these law-breakers to be that of enemies of the government, and hence it is the duty of the military forces to aid the United States marshals to disperse, capture or destroy all bodies of men obstructing the mall routes and in actual hostility to the injunction of the United States court aud the laws of the United States. Thia does not chang*! the relation of the federal officials with those of the local authority, as it is expected that the state and municipal governments will maintain peace and good order within the territory of their jurisdiction. Should they fail or bu over po wared, the military iorces will assist them, but not to the extent of leaving unprotected: people or property under the protectou ot the United States. "The officer in the immediate com mand of troops must be the judge as to what use to make of the forces of his command in executing his orders, and in case serious action be required and thsre be time.he will communicate with his next superior for instructions. "The earnest efforts of the law-abid ing citizens have clone murh to improve the condition of affairs during the last few days,ar.d the military arm earnestly requests all-law abiding citizens to do whatever is possible to assist in main taining the civil government and the authority of the municipal, state and federal governments, in preserving peace and good order." NOT A WHKEL TURNED. Strikers Threaten Guerrilla War fare Upon the United btatea. Sax Fk.vxcisco. July 7. — The twelfth day of the great strike on the Southern Pacific closed without a wheel turning In Northern California. At Sacramento. Oakland, San Jose and this point the situation is unclianeed. The Southern Pacific managers are utterly helpless, and appear to make no effort to resume traffic. Tonight there is an added excitement, however, caused by the news that United States marines from Mare island and regular troops have been or dered to Oakland to bejcin the tight that the Southern Pacific managers have been so long waiting for the gov ernment to make. Leaders of the strik ers in Oakland say there will be no or ganized resistance to the troops, but they ooenly declare the strikers have resolved to conduct a guerrilla warfare. Every one knows what this means, and many citizens are tearful of the events of to-morrow. Gov. Markham has beuu warned of the auproaching danger, and is hurrying from Los Angeles to the state capital. The fact that the authori ties have decided to begin operations against the strikers at Oakland and not at Sacramento, where the men have al ready been ancered and provoked to the point of arming themselves with rifles, is significant. In Southern California the railroads seem to have all broken the blockade. RESULT AT TOLEDO. Malicious Endeavors to Waste and Destroy Property and Business. Toledo, 0., July 9.— While the lead ers of the A. K. U. olaim that they feel encouraged with the result of the first aayof the strike, the movement has been entirely unlike what was expected by the mass of the people. The princi pal point is the air line Junction of the Lake Shore, where nearly 000 men quit work this morning, ana where over "Oil cars of freight are standing on the track. Supt. Johnson and his assistants did most of the switching, and managed to get out a freight at 4:15 this afternoou. The regular con ductor took out the train, but considerable difficulty was encountered in finding brakomen. Coupling pins were pulled by strikers, and one of thftn, John Calawber, has the distinc tion of being the first man arrested on accouut of tho strike. Six trains of stack and perishable freight passed through later this afternoon, but the company will not attempt to move trains tonight. Passenger trains arc not interfered with. Tiro Wheeling & Lake Erie, Ohio Central and Ann Arbor are all tied up tight. In the Pennsylvania yards. the men were working today, but it is likely they will not go oil in the morning, as it was after 9 o'clock before they could be persuaded to take out their engines this morning. The brotherhood engineers and Bremen, who have thus far refused to go out in :i body, will determine their course at a meeting to be ht'ld tonight. Arrests i'or Npito. Uulith. ,lul> 9.— The strikers at Spuuuer have caused the arrest of En gineer Kentan and Conductor Pratt, of the Omaha road, for running Strain through ■- Spooner faster than : fifteen miles an hour and without blowing the whistle. or ringing the bell. They were placed under $300 bond* to appear July TO QUELL A REBELLION. EMPLOYMENT WILL BE MADE FREE FROM INTER-INTIMIDATION. CLEVELAND AD.TIINI3 TBATION Will Not Cease Its EflTortN for Con stitutional Rights— Mails Will Be Transmitted — Interstate Communication Will Be Kept Opon — Miles and Ruger Will Crush Opposition to Law. WASHINGTON, July 9.— "Tho admin istration will not cease its efforts until the contitiitional rights of every man to obtain employment free from inter intimidation is thoroughly established. If that should be the outcome of the present strusrele it will be well worth the price paid tor it, dear as it has been." This statement by a high official sets out concisely the position of tho gov ernment today. It means a guarantee not only to protect the operation of the mails and to keeD open interstate com munication, but to protect the rights or the individual guaranteed by the con stitution of the United States. Every day there has been another step towards the end in view, a tightening of the lines ovor the lawless without even a momentary relaxation or backward movement. Saturday it was evidenced in tho sweeping orders placing the transcontinental railroads under milita ry control. Festerday was marked by the addition : of reinforcements to Gjh. Miles'com mand, and today it was shown by the draft on the naval forces at Mare Island to supplement the forces with which Gen. Kuger will crush out the opposi tion to law and order in San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento. No one can tell what the next move will be, for it depends on the developments of the next twenty-four hours, but it can be stated that the government will not cease until the rebellion against law and order has been quelled, if the en tire power of the national government is required to do it. The events of the day were reassuring to the national authorities. Official re ports were few and meager, for so ex plicit and comprehensive have been the orders issued to the commanders of the great army departments that thera U no longer necessity for inquiry by them, ana nothing is expected at army head quarters from them in the way of dis patches, unless they have to report further encounters between the troops aDd the mobs. So most of the informa tion came in the shape of press bulletins, and, as tUese contained many indica tions ot resumption of work aud traffic at various points whore the blockade lias prevailed, the oflicrals were encour aged to believe that the crisis has been passed. The absence today of the riot ous scenes that have marked the past few days is a source of special satisfac tion to the postal officials. Postmaster General Bissell said tonight that he was greatly gratified at the quietness into which Chicago settled during the day ana the general marked improve ment in the mail service. Arrangements to relieve the paralyzed condition of the mail service in Cali fornia, as well as in some other sections, are being made by the department. The Pacißc Mail Steamship company will probably carry mails from Saa Francisco along the coast in both direc tions, the boats to stop at many of the points on the coast to deliver and collect the mails. Negotiations for this purpose are almost completed, and a telegram is expected at the department tomorrow from Division SuDerintendeut Flint, at San Francisco, announcing that the plnn is to be put into immediate oper ation. The plan, it is expected, is to be in force until the strike is declared off and a better condition of affairs ex ists in the state. About a dozen special service routes have been organized to con nect tied-up roada with the un interrupted ro.tds at available points. Most of these are in California, Oregon and Montana. CALIFORNIA STRIKERS Ask Federal Court to Proceed Against the Southern Pacific. Wariiingtox, July 9.— The state ment is telegraphed here from Califor nia that the strikers are about to apply to the United States court to compel the Southern Pacitio Railway company to show cause wiry they should not be compelled to operate their road under the terms of their charter. This was not disagreeable news to the war de partment, and they rather hoped that such a proceeding would be taken, for it would oblige the railroad company to supplement the efforts of the military by every means in their power, and there is a suspicion that it has been a lit tie lax in this respect so far. RYAN'S FROTH. Spreads Himself a« the Boarer of Anarchist Message From Debs. New Yokk. July 9.- John Ryan, who comes hero as the representative of Pres ident Debs, was at the Continental hotel today. "The strike," said Mr. Ryan, "will not stop here. My errand is to organize the labor of the East. I am confident of succeeding. My work up to the present time has borne fruit ten times more than I expected it would. I was cautious at first about approaching the leaders upon the subject of striking in sympathy, but my first attempt has convinced me that there was no ground for holding back. I was some what surprised to ascertain that the feeling here to strike was pretty warm. 1 go to Boston on the next train. 1 have everything in the city fixed up to my satisfaction and am in hopes to meet with the same result in Boston. I will noi say that the laborers in this city will strike out of sympathy for the men in Chicago, but will say that they aro liable, which amounts to tho same thing. In event ot the strike reaching Buffalo, which iv my Blind is a sure thing, it will not stop tli.-re. It is part of my business to ascertain Just how far it will reach, and from present in dications, 1 am sale, iv making tho statement that Portland aud all other Now England cities will be made to tuel we are in earnest. Ir the trouble continues five days longer all Eastern roads will be tied up. All wires are ready, and when Debs sees fit he will mill them. Then look out for squally times tiil Pullman gives in." Ryan left for Boston today. UNCLE SAM WON'T HAVE IT ANOTHER TALK TO LAW-BREAKERS BY THE PRESIDENT. IIMI. IS < VLI.I1) OV REBELS In North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington. Wyoming, Colo rado and California— Also in Utah and New Mexico— At 4 O'Clook Today Hostility to Law and Order Must Cease. Washington, July o.— The attorney general. Secretaries Lainont and Bisseil and Gen.Sclioneld were ajain in confer ence with the president early this even ing, ana as a result the following is given out: A PROCLAMATION BY TIIK PRESIDENT OF Till; UNITED STATES. Whereas, by reason of unlawful ob strnctlons, combinations aud assem blages by persons, it has become im practicable in the judgment of the pres ident to enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings the laws ot the United States at certain points and places within tho states of North Da kota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado and California, and the territories of Utah and New Mexico, and especially along the lines of such railways traversing said states and territories as are military roads and post routes and are engaged in inter state commerce and in carrying United States mails; and, whereas, for the pur pose of enforcing tho faithful execution of the laws of tho United States and protecting property belonging to the United States or under its protection, and of preventing obstructions of the Unitsd States mails and of commerce between the states and territories, and of securing to the Uuited States the right guaranteed by law to the use of such roads for postal, military, naval and other government service, the pres ident has employed a part of thb mili tary forces of the United States; Now, therefore. 1. Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, do hereby command all persons sngaged In. or In any way connected with such unlawful obstrudtions, combinations and assemblages, to disperse ami retire peaceably to their respective abodes on or before 4 o'clock of tue afternoon of the 10th day of July hist. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand aud caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Done at the city of Washiugton, this 9th day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eisht hundred and ninety four, and of the indeDendence of the United States the one hundred and nineteenth. By the President. Gkovkr Cleveland, ' W. Q. Gkesuam. Secretary of State. The proclamation is substantially like the one issued last night in relation to Chicago. Early in the evening Senators Dubois and Shoup, of Idaho.again called on the president in relation to the trouble at Wallace. Several telegrams had been received by the senators from the United States judge and others, em phasizing the seriousness of the situa tion and reiterating the request for troops. The governor also telegraphed to the president during the afternoon. As yet no action has been taken towards sending troops to Wallace, the fact that there has been no violation of United States laws standing in the way of such action until the governor signifies that he is unable with the state forces at his command to control the disorder. This the governor has not done, although he has described the situation as extremely serious and has signified his desire tor federal assistance. MEMBERS WKRK EAGER. For the Associated Press Bulletins at the Capitol. Washington, July 9— Senators and members of the house have eviuoad the greatest possible interest In the news of the strike. The Associated Press bulletins, giving in a concise form the latest events from the scens of action, have been eagerly read by all. While the senate was not iv session, the bulle tins were read in the different commit tee rooms where there were meetings. The most important argument or dis cussion would be broken off wl)J!e some senator would read each Asso -1 ciated 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 preceedings. IDAHO SITUATION. Got. McConnell Has Not Jlaclo It Clear That Troop? Are Needed. Washington, July Neither of the Idaho senators nor the federal au thorities here know just what Is going on in the Coeur d'Alene region, as no information has been received further than that in Gov. McConnell's telegram. It was decided to order the troops at Fort Sherman to proceed to Warner, near the scene of the trouble. The federal officers in Idaho were tele graphed for further information in order that definite orders may be given the troops on their arrival. WISCONSIN MILITIA Will Be Sent to Spooner and Su perior. Special to the Globe. EauClairb, Wis., July 9.— C01. M. T. Moore, of La Crosse, is here, and two military companies are under arms, also companies at Hudson and Menoni ouie, 250 men in all. It is expected they will be stationed at Spooner and Supe rior as guards on the Omaha track. TRAFFIC IMPROVES, Chicago Terminal Roads Get Out Passenger and Freight Trains. Chicago, July 9.— Reports from the various roads having terminals In Chi cago, as. issued by the general man gers'•association today, showed passen ger trains were being received and sent out on nearly all lines. A sufficient number of freight trains to care for the trallic offered were run. All tracks wore, however, heavily patrolled by police and troops. PKICE TWO CENTS— { }— NO. 191. THE LOCAL OUTLOOK. Passenger Trains Moving Al most as Usual. SOME FREIGHTS BEING RUN, But Service in That Direction Still Mush Crippled. THE "NO VIOLENCE" PLEA Has a Forcible Illustration by Assaults on New Men. A. R. U. OPEN MEETING. Speeches Mads Sustaining: the Strikers. THE N. P. COAST TRAIN. Another uneventful day must be. added to the local history of ths strike Gradually all lines are recovering fro m the suddenness with which the boycott dropped upon them. The real interest centers in Chicaeo. When the blockade there ia broken. and ail riotous elements have been subjugated, the imperfect condition of freights on all Chicago-St. Paul lines will be remedied. A glance over the situation as presented by the various hues here in this issue will show an improvement in this dirrction over Sunday. Today matters give prom ise of even a much brighter outlook here. Every line is making efforts to resume a normal traffic. The Northern Pacific, with its great mileage, has no easy problem confront ins it, in its effort to give the public service under existing conditions. The management, however, has not hesitated to make tho endeavor. The company's train that left hore at 4:15 Sunday afternoon went through to Jamestown — niuety-tive miles beyond Fargo. From now on the company is fully determined to operate as far West as Jamestown any way, until through service is finally established. This same train will arrive here this morning. General Manager Keudrlck said at 5:30 p. m. yesterday, that the train winch left St. Paul on Friday unuttr military escort had proceeded sixty miles west of Heleua at that time. Mr. Eendrick confirmed the re port of the bridge burned over the Hell Gate river in the after noon. This bridge was 350 feet long and comprised tinea spans and a trestie. The damage to the company is placed at about £3,ooo. Ofticials are not advised as to the origiu, though it was probably the work of incendiary strikers, tnougli DO mob was gathered at this point. As soon as the news came in of the lire the local force at Missoula was immediately senc to rebuild. Mr. Eendrick thinks this will not require over two days. Meanwhile the west-bound train with the troops must wait. Tne other train —the east-bound— which left Eilens burg. Wash., last week, has been heard from. At tip. m., yesterday, it was at Forsythe. It left Hope yesterday morn ing. This train has Assistant General Superintendent Dickinson on board. Tht) Northern Paciiic sent out a freight — the first since the embargo — for Portland, at 5 p. m., yesterday. General Managers Kendrick and Win ter, of the Northern Pacific and Omaha, respectively, held a brief conference at the ofhee of the latter yester day. The purport was not learned. The Milwaukee had two freights in from the East and one from the West yesterday. Jt expects to bave all traffic resumed by today. An order has co me through Mr. Underwood, division sup erintendent, transmitted to him from headquarters, that all men now out will be given until 7 o'clock this morning to report for duty. Failing to do so, new men will be immediately hired to till all vacancies. All old men returning will be taken on the same conditions as new lianas to do equal justice to all. The men out include freight conductors, switchmen, firemen, freight handlers, etc. The Omaha people reported that their line wus as tranquil as a summer's dream, with the exce ption of the north ern division. The company succeeded in moving some freight yesterday from Spooner. Tne West division freight bouse is now open for the receipt and delivery of all local freight on ihe West ern and Nebraska divisions. There 13 no through passenger service on the Northern division, though. General Superintendent Scott stated , that pass enger trains are running between Bayfield and Ashlatid, as well as between Cbippewa Falls and Eau Claire. Judsse Wilson, of tlio lesal department, says that the company lias appe aled to the constituted authorities —city, county and state— for protection from hoodlums. "In Wisconsin," said he, "we have appealed to (.Jov. Peck, and are awaiting iiis reply. He is giv ing the matter the consideration the gravity of matters requires.'' There were rumors afloat that the st rlkers would make tilings very warm at Ea st St. Paul yesterday afternoon. The Omaha gave it out that it would move a freight out from there, and the Strikers declared it would not. 'Iho company carried the day, however, and ran one transfer train from i£ast !St. Paul to Western avenue and back with out trouble. General Manager Plough, of the St. Paul & Duluth. said yesterday: "We are all ritrht. Everything is running, with no obstructions. We are Accept ing transfers from all lines that are able to deliver to u& At Dulutii all is quiet. Of course we arc not yet quite Hp to normal conditions, but soon will be." The Chicago Great Western reports its tnxtlic as satisfactorily moving. U has mad-' a good and plucky fight. It was somewhat annoyed on the motor line to South Br. Paul by a few stones thrown by lawless sneaks on the West side. General Superintendent Shields is in Cliioa<o, but will return about the middle of the week.

THE "XO VIOLENCE" PLAN Results in Assaults on the Sew Employee. Intimidation by threats is giving way to intimidation by violence in the East St. Paul yards of the Omaha. Night be fore last, as one of the new yard switch men named Ryder was on his way home about 9 o'clock, he was called one side by five younir fellows, some of whom he knew. Not thinking of personal danger from these supposed friends, he went over to where they were standing on the corner of Edgerton and Whitall streets. No sooner had he reached them than all five jumped on him without warning and severely pummeied him. His eye was discolored. his face bruised and his clothes torn. Tney took his revolver away from him, put it to his head and pulled the trigger. Fortunately it was not loaded, and his life was therefore saved. A woman living near by rushed out during the fracas and triad to pull off the assailants from his prostrate body. About the same time Joe Williams, "a passenger conductor of the Omaha, who has also been helping the company in the switch yard, started for his home m I the same neighborhood. He was sur rounded by a number of the strikers and threatened. Luckily, he got his »un out before they were too near him. and as ho was loaded, and he said he would shoot if they attacked him, he stood them off. Yesterday afternoon while again switching a rock weighing five pounds was thrown at him from the bridge at Payne avenue, barely missing his head. Supt. McCabe was" present, and immediately ordered the police on duty to clear the bridge of all loungers and keep it cleared. Three of the men who ''did up"' Ryder are known to Capt. Hanft and his officers and will soon be arrested. These proceedings show conclusively that acts of violence are not confined to toughs and hoodlums, but are insti gated and committed by the strikers themselves. The switchmen are among the most violent of any class, and are determined to prevent new men taking the places they hare voluntarily de serted. Ryder pluekily returned to duty yesterday in the yard, and so did Williams. Today the Omaha will continue tin moving of freight back and torth from the yards of the Eastern and Western divisions, as they did yesterday. A large number of office employes arc assisting in this work. Some "of them say that when the attempt is made to break the freight blockade at Minne apolis serious rioting is almosl sure to follow. The police are keeping the crowds on the bridges in beitei subjection than heretofore, though th« men grow more desperate aud bad. teuiDered as the days pass. While a reporter was getting inform ation at East St. Paul, a striker named John Harrington and one other inter cepte d him and commenced to pour out their grievances. They said ttat there was danger tor new men who attempted to take the place* of strikers. Th« Northern Pacific engineers are ready to return to work in a body as soon as they can be assured ol protection. OPEN" MEETING OF A. R. U.
