The Morning Call. platform was calculated to dissipate all fears about the certainty of an approach ing end of the strike, and the further cer tainty of the Government's success in i .'.rations against the men who have vio lated or have been thought to be capable ; of violating the laws of the country. But | the Government was not successful in its first attempt to make an end of the dis turbance at the capital. Nothing daunted by the formidable show of arms and the ; spirit of determination which has been ; exhibited by the Federal troops since : their arrival, the strikers have proved ; themselves more formidable than all these. ! They have had pretty much their own way ! from the beginning and are having it now. Martial law governs nearly the whole 1 town, and every one is imbued with a ; thoroughly realizing sense of the extreme seriousness of the situation. Citizens of a , peaceable kind are fearful that the great j est struggle in the history of the railroad strike is to occur right here under the very shadow of the imposing Council hall at Capitol Park. The tide of feeling is be ginning to turn. The people of Sacra mento, hitherto in accord with every one of the strikers' movements, are beginning to realize that the stage of the game is ad vanced to an extraordinary degree.and that the striking element have overstepped the pure principle which impelled it at the beginning of the trouble. The wreck of that train this afternoon, though the strike leaders may not be responsible for it, has not been very | instrumental in increasing sympathy I for the strikers' cause. Sober-minded | citizens are indignant at the need j less slaughter of men entirely inno { cent of any crime. There are conversa j tions on street corners and in hotel corri i dors to-night in which the expressions are far from being favorable. Nearly every : one not too closely identified with the striking element and many who are are em phatic in denouncing to-day's dastardly ! proceedings. Many who have been iv ! touch in sympathy with the strikers since j the beginning of the great fight have de i serted those who are making it. They j aver that they are and have been sympa- I thetic from a certain knowledge of the : justice of the American Railway Union's i stand in the matter of objections to Pull > man's autocracy, but when the affair I reaches so fearful a stage that innocent men should be killed and violence made a I feature of operations these same sympa thizers think it time to look about them j for material upou which sympathy will i not be wasted. j The American Railway Union men are , indignant that any blame should be at tached to them for the railroad wreck to day. Immediately after it they held a meeting denouncing the operation and George J.Denis.United States Attorney avowing that they were not concerned in it. This was expected of the union, and while it is very probably true that the or ganization had no knowledge of the dis aster so deliberately prepared, the state ment to this effect is discredited in some quarters. Whatever may have been the union's position in the affair, il has re flected upon the character of the organiza tion and will undoubtedly work to the detriment of the strikers' fight. More than this, thetroopsof then ational Government are Incensed over the affair to such a degree that only the strong military discipline to which they are In the habit of silently submitting can make them fore bear pouring a leaden hail into Knox's quarters and into every striker-like gath ering in the city. The men of the regular army are more silent than ever now, and they are desperate, but they make an effort to conceal it. From remarks which have been heard to-night in the ranks of the regulars down at the dark depot they are in a fierce mood. "Twenty-two of our men went out this afternoon," said one of them, "four of them have not come back. We may have our chance yet." This is the kindof stern sentiment which exists down at that depot camp. Twenty two men did go out and eighteen came back, and some of these were fearfully mangled. The death of those four will be avenged if Graham's soldiers get half an opportunity to mix up with the strikers. "If we ever get at that crowd," said a private in Battery L of the Fifth, "you may safely guess that they will be treated as tenderly as Apaches might be." The feeling is doubtless mutual on this point, and there is little reason for doubt that if any such mixing up should occur the strikers would not fail to show the mettle that is supposed to be in them. Yet they would be severely handicapped because of the raids to-night on the houses in which firearm** and ammunition were supposed to be secreted. It is safe to assume that not all of these implements of war have been found or will be, but balf a truckful of Winchesters and pis tols, swords, dynamite and cartridges is SAX FRANCISCO, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1894. no small confiscation, and lias created a serious deficiency in the armament of the striking force. The probability is that to morrow will witness pretty much of a repetition of to-day's startling spectacles and proceedings. While it is understood on reliable au thority that the Southern Pacific officials are amazed and variously startled at the surprising turns of affairs to-day, it is quite as authentically reported that trains will continue to go out happen, what may. These trains will not go the way the train went to - day. There are no wrecking -crews available and the seriously damaged trestle cannot be repaired for nearly a week, if not more. ff/tRK WBr-m> An engine tearing along a wooden trestle in lop-sided fashion is liable to cause abrasions, and tbat engine this afternoon did some of It. Trains, however, will be sent along the Stockton route, but this will necessitate the clearing of the road yards and a generally better arrangement of the present muddie of engines and coaches all around the depot property. Then, even In the event of sending more trains within a day or two, there will also be the difficulty of securing the services of train crews. Of course, soldiers of the regular service will go when told, but en gineers and firemen and conductors are scarce now, and there is a veiy evident in disposition among all of them to go the way of poor Clark and the regulars on the luckless tender. The general understanding is that mar tial law will be more emphatically declared THE TIE-UP AT THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC YARD, SAN FERNANDO STREET, LOS ANGELES. to-morrow morning, and that Sacramento will experience a novel era of severe mili tary jurisdition until the strike comes to orderly or bloody conclusion. The affair this afternoon is taken to indicate that I more blood will flow. The firing on tte | militia from over the river when trains | were firing up was strong proof of the in- ! tentions of the desperate men who have attached themselves to tho strikers' cause. They will, without question, resort to as much violence as care and cunning will permit with same safety to themselves. The thirst for violence has come on them and unless indications are sadly misinter l preted Sacramento is to have a time lively beyond all imagining. Officers have found the tools, which were hidden, with which the rail was removed from the track, and know who the parties are that bid them. OVER THE TRESTLE. How the Awful Work Was Carried .7
