Three Thousand Strik ers Armed "With Ei fles Await the Ap proach of the Soldiers. SAN FlJAXCISCO, Cal., July 10. There are many conservative men of affairs here who fear and believe that tomorrow will develope a desperate conflict between fed eral soldiers and tlie striking American Railway men and their allies. Sacramento is the threatening point. The seriousness of the situation is shown in the warlike precautions that the army authorities have taken. Up to 11 o'clock this morning the federal authorities had made every move iu sscret. At about that hour the big ferry boat Alameda steamed out from the Oakland mole and steered directly acrops the bay to the Presidio wharf. At 11:45 the steatner had effected a landing and theie was all the noise and bustle of an embarkation of horse and infantry. Two troops of cavalry and five ba'tenes of light artillery were rushed on board. Giitliug guns and two Hotchkiss cannons were in evidence and Colonel Graham, command ant at the Presidio, was personally in D Mcmaod of the expedition. The Alameda with her formidable looking cargo steamed direct toward the mouth of the Sacramen to river, but so guarded had the army authorities been that it was not known un til : he entered the river channel whether her flestination was the state capital or Oakland. It is not probable Unit the troops can be lauded at Sacramento before midnight. The publication of President Cleve land's proclamation, extending the condi tions of martial law to California, caused intense excitement in Sacramento, but this afternoon when it became positively known tbut Colonel Graham and his boldiers to the number of over SOO were J already enroute to reinforce the state troops nt the state capital, the excitement ! there became wild and ominous. The ; strikers grew louder in their threats to ; resist any Inrtuer attempt of the troops to clear the railroad yards and depot and their leaders loudly proclaimed that the Southern Pacific company would not be permitted to move its trains. Nor were the hostile demonstrations confined to talk alone. Armed men soon appeared in the streets. As if in prepara tion for battlo they transferred their guns aud ammunition lrom their store house on ,1 street to their headquarters nearer the railroad yards. Xo at tempt at concealment vas made. The strikers marched boldly through the streets hearing their weapons on their i "boulders and they wero loudly cheered Ly hundreds of sympathizers. It is claimed that the A. K, U. arsenal holds Rt least f-ixteen hundred rifles and shot J guns aud quantities of ammunition. The ' ttrikers who came in on the train seized ' rt' DuuFinuir brought in over 300- rifles which thev had collected at DniiHiuuir, Kcd JJinff and Sissous. Another train from Truckee, also brought iu guns and I ttmuuition. This afternoon a nutnb?r of! htnkers were practicing with their rifles ( on the Yolo side of the river. There are now overS.OOOof these strikers in Sacra mento io resist tho federal and state j troops. Flushed with their victory over ' the United States martinis and police on 1 Tuesday last a complete v.cUiry over more ! than a theu-mul state militmmeii on the! fo.lowinc day, they are m the mood to re- i M&t the United States regulars tomoirow. The steamer Alameda with 300 boldier. j from the Presidio, arrived at Mnre Island this afternoon and took out SOO marines. Then the Alameda steamed around the 1 point and the men were transferred to two i Sacramento river steamers which had j been lying in wait. One troop of cavalry j was lauded on each bank and wiil match. , to Sacramento along the river us an ad-j vance guard to these boats. Colonel G.a- ' bam while at Maie Island received orders lrom ashington directing him to pro ceed to Sacramento aud leaving the con duct of the campaicu to his discretion. It i anticipated that the stnkers will at tempt to interfere with the progress of the troops, hut as each boat carries Gat ling and Hotcbki-s gun, an attack fiom the strikers on the nvrr is not feared and the guai d on shore will prevent offensive oper ation" there. There was some idea of transporting troops from Vallejo by train, but h- soon as the strikers nt S utli Val hjo heatd they were coining they killed ml the ensjiucs, ditching one and spiked the switcbu, thus effectively blocking the track. mis afternoon thp crews from the Chaiieston, Aionterev, Thetis, Mai ion ami 1 1 d iTender.ee wet e landed at M.ue Islnml lor liut drill. They comprise about 500 men ai:d will leave for Oakland tonight. Iu the face of the general preparations of the strikers for resistance. the altitude of the Locomotive Engineers is attracting attention. Representative of the brother hood waited upon General Superintendent F.llmore at -acramento thts morning aud announced that they were ready to return to work at h moment's notice. Superin tendent Ftllmore promised to notify them if he decided to accept their serices. At all points iu the state save Sacra mento aud possibly Oakland the events of today have turned in favor of the rnilmad company. At Oaklaud no train were moved. The strikers and railroad officials there are anxiously awaiiinsr the appear ance of the United Mates marines thHt have been ordered to that point. In this City aud San Jose, pasetigtr tr.,flic was tesiimed today over the coast division Railroad officials say freight trains will be moved tomorrow.

STRIKERS WILL RETTJRX. Southern Pacific Employes Offer Their Service io Maaacer Tcwne. SACRAMENTO, Cal., July 10 Harry Kticx, chairman of the mediation commit tee, tonight sent the following dispatch to General Manager Towne of the Southern Pacific: 'We, the members of the American Ril way union, will move nd see safely t their destination all trains including li"cl, 'verlaud, null, passenger and lreight trains, ou condition that nil employes who are now out nd those who have Iwrii dis charged for nfu-iuu to handle Pudinans be reinstated without prejudice. 4 This lus been our position since the Ueginuiug of the strike." Knox states that his object in sending the dispatch is to refute the assertion ot She Southern Pacific company that the strikers have at all times persistently re lused to take out any trains. A lartje number of strikers are pntrollinz the river banks to warn the men of the approach of the steamer carrying Uuited States troops. It is thought that thft steamer will not reach hers: until tomorrow morning, BOYCOTT BRIEFS. GALYESTOK, Texas, July 10.

The children up at the pond at Seventy-sixth street, on the east side of tho park, have gTeat fun with tho solitary duck inhabitant. This duck has nono of the shyness of the squirrels. He is a hold and brazen hird, and will inako. fntilo attempts to climb up the per pendicular stonework surrounding tha pond in the hope of findinjr a erackcr. Crackers are his chief article of diet. Not ordinary crackers, but fancy onca in queer shapes at twenty-five cents a pound. Little rich children, who are bored to death by the necessity of looking- after their French nursemaids, come to the pond every morning for the purpose of fattening- that duck on sweet crackers. They stand ou the brink and shout "Dutty, dutty; turn an' det a tratter," cud every few minutes one of them falls in. The duck doesn't let this disturb him, however. Ilis mind and soul are on crackers, sweet crackers in animal shapes preferred, but in the absence ol these he'll cat anything- from bread crust to doughnuts. Undoubtedly he would soon grow so fat that he couldn't paddle but for the enforced exercise he gets every after noon. Then children of a larger growth come aud sail toy ships when there is wind, and if there is one thing that the duck dreads more than another it is a toy ship. No sooner is one set in the water than, squawking, quacking and flap ping his wings, he flees to the utter most corner, only to find another there, perhaps. His afternoons are one wretched suc cession of wild twistings and turnings and divings. One day last week, having been hemmed in a corner by three boats, he dived aud came up outside the blook ade. only to find a miniature schoonei bearing down on him. "With a squawk of dismay he swerved, and a sloop on the other tack took him squarely amidships. Down he dived deep, stayed there for a few seconds, and just as his head came out of the water a big sloop bumped into him. Then there was trouble.J Ilis duckship arose, and then thcro was wrath in his quack. With his bill he seized the bowsprit of the sloop and pulled it down under the water. Then he grabbed the jib, tore that off, tackled the mainsail and ripped it up the middle, and with a note of triumph flapped a big wing over the stern and tipped the boat over. Flushed with triumph he proceeded leisurely to demolish the rigging aud all else breakable or tearable, while from the bank the wails of the ship owner were wafted afar on the air. N. SOME FAMOUS WIDOWS, THEttr, is a Hebrew tradition that Eve survived Adam, and was, there fore, the first widow.

LAW IS U MOTION PEDEEAL GEA1TD JTJBY METS TO INVESTIGATE SfEIEB. Judge Grosscnp Delivers a Lenglhy Charge Diiecting Grand Jury to Investigate Whether Insurrec tion Against Government Exists and "Who Drought it About Exhaustive Inquiry Set on Foot to Placo Kt snonsibility. CHICAGO, July 10. A special fedtril grand jury to investigate tha strike was sworn iu today by Judge Grosscup. The lengthy charire delivered by the judge di rects the grand jury to investigate whether an insurrection against the government exists, and if so who brought it, about. When all the grand jurors had been sworn they were sworn as to their duties by Judse Gmsscup. as follows: Gentlemen of the grand jury: You have been summoned here to in quire whether any of the laws of tho Uuited States within this judicial district have been violated. You have coma into an atmosphere and amid occurrences that may well cause reasonable men to question whether the government aud laws of the United States ara yet supreme. Thanks to resolute manhood and to that enlight ened intelligence which perceives the ne cessity of a vindication of law before any other adjustments are possible, the gov ernment of the United States is stillsu preme. You doubtless feel as I do, that oppor tunities of life, under present conditions, are uot entirely equal aud that changes are needed to forestall some of tho dan gerous tendencies of current industrial life. But neither the torch of the incen diary nor the weapon of the insurrection ist, uoi- the inflamed tongue of him who incites to fire and sword is the instrument to bring about reforms. To the mind of the American people, to tho calm, dispassionate, jympathetic judg ment of a race that is not afr.iid to face deep changes aud responsibilities, there lias as yet been no appeal. Men who ap pear as the champions of great changes must first submit them to discussion di-.cnssion t hat reaches not simply the pir-tie- interested, Z hut tho wider circles of Society, and must be patient as well as peiseverins: until the public intelligence has been reached aud a public judgment made up. An appeal to torco beionj that hour is a crime not only against the gov irument of existing laws, hut the caue itself, for what mau of any intelligence supposes that nuy settlement will abide wnich is induced under the light of the torch or the shadow of an oVerpoweriuir threat? With the questions behind pres ent occunences, therefore, we have, as ministers of the law and citizens of the re public, nothing to da The law as it is must first be vindicated before we turu aside to iuquire how law, or practice as it ought to be, can be ef fectually brought about. Government by law isimpeiiled and that issue is para mount. The government of the United States has laws, first to protect itself aud Us autLority as a government, aud sec ondly, to protect its authority over those agencies to which under the constitution aud laws it extends governmental laws. For th former purpose uamely, to pro tect itself and its authority as a govern ment It has enacted that "every person who entices, sets on foot, assists or tn iraszes in anv rebellion or iusurrectiou against the authority of the Uuited Stutes or the laws thereof, or Kives aid or couuort thereto;" and "two or more persons iu any state or ten ltory who couspire to over throw, out down or destroy by force the government of the United St.ites; or to levy war against them, or oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder or delay lhs execution of any of the laws of the United States; or by force t seize, t.ike or possess any property of the United States contrary to author ity," shall be visited with certain penalties therein named. ''Insurrection is a ribiug against civil or political authority; the open and active opposition of a number ot perons to the execution of law in a city or btate." Xow the laws of the United States for nid, under penalty, any perst n from ob structing or retarding the passage of the mails and make it the duty of the officer to arrest snch ollendtrs aud briug them before the court. If, therefure, it shall ap pear to you th-'t any person or persou- have willfully cb-trncted or retarded the nihis, and that lueir attempted arrest for such offense has beeu opposed by such a number of petsons as would constitute a geuetal uprising iu that particular local ity, and as threatens for the time being i he civil aud political uuthoiiiy, then the fact of au insurrec' on within the meaning of the law has ben established, and he who by speech, writing, promises or other inducements assists m getting it on foot, or cairying it along, or give it aid or comlort, if" guilty ol a violation of law. It is not necessary that there should be bloodshed; it is not necessary that it;, dimension should he so protetitous as to insure probable success, to constitute au insurrection. It i, however, tharlhe lismg should be iu opposition to the exe cution of the laws of the Uuited States and .should he so formidable for the time l-incas to defy the authority of the United States. When mm gather to resist the political or civil power of the United State?, or to prevent the execution of its laws aud are iu such forca that the civ-il authorities are inadequate io put them dun n and a considerable military force is needed to accomplish that result, they be come instil scats ami every person who kutwiu:ly incites, aids or abets them, no niit'r wnat his motives may be, is like wise an insurgent. Ti;e i-eu.ii i is severe and as I have said is designed to piotett the government and its authority tiom direct attack. There are other provisions of law designed to protect those particular aeucies which come within govetnnirntal control. To these I will now cll your attention. The nmils are in the special keeping of the government aud laws of the United States. To lusure in. hindered transmis sion, it is male au offense to "kuowiugiy aud wiituhr obstruct the passage of the mail, or any carnage, horse, driver, or car rier currying the same." It is also prov ded that "if two or more persons conspire together to commit any oCense against the United Sales, and one or more oi such parties do any act r affect theobjtctef the conspiracy," the parties thereto shall be subject to a penalty. Auy person wilfully or knowingly doing any act which contributes or is cal culated to contribute to obstmcting -r hindering the mail service, wiliinqly ly or kuow.nirly, tkes part in uch act, no matter hw trivial, if intentivntl, is greatly in viotioa ot the first of tbee provisions, and any person who conspires with one or more ott.er ier-ous who sub sequently commit the olfeuse is likewise guilty of an offense against tBS United S ates. N hat constitutes conspiracy to hinder or obstruct t& mails, will be touched upon in coanec ton with the subject to hich I aow call your nt'nl on.

Temporary restraint is, therefore, as in tolerable as permanent, aud practical restraint by actualjphysicaliuterf -reuce as criminal as that which flovvs from the arrangements of business an! organiza tion. Any physical interference, there fore, which has the effect of restraining any pas-euger, car or thim; constituting au element of iuter-state commerce forms tne foundation for this off-mse. But to comp'ete this offense, as also that of conspiracy to obstruct the mails, there must exist in addition to the resolve or purpose the eiemeuc ot criminal con spiiacy. Wi,at is original conspiracy? If it shall appear that any two or more persons cor ruptly or wrongfully atrreed with each other that Mi fr..irn rnrrvuisr thn m .its 'and interstate commerce should be forci-b-y arrested, obstructed and restrained, -uch would clearly constitute conspira.y. If it shall app-ar to you that two or more persons corruptly or wrongfully a-'reed with each other that the employes t the several railroads carrying th-s mails and iuters ate commerce should quit, and that successors should, by threats, iutimi datiou or violence, be prevented from tak ing their places, such would constitute a conspir.icv I lecoiruize. however, the ritrkt of labor ! to organize. E ich mau iu America is a freeman, and so long as he does uot interfere with the rights of o'hers he has tlje right to do with that which is his what he please. Iu the highest seuse a man's arm is his own, and aside from contract relations no one but himself can direct when it shall bs out to work or shall be dropped to rest. The individual option to work or to quit is the imperish able right of a free man. But the raising or dropping of the arm is the result of a will that resides iu tho brain, aud much as we desire that such will should remain eutirely independent there is no mandate of law which prevents their association with others in response to a higher will. The individual may feel himself alone unequal to cope with the conditions that coufrout him. or unable to comprehend the myriad of considerations that ought to coutrol his couduct. He is entitled t j the highest wage the strategy of work or cessation from work may briuir, ami the limitations upou his intelligence and op portunities may hi such that he does not choose to s'aud upou his own perception of strategic or other conditions. Ilis riuht to choose a leader, oue who observes, thinks and wills for him a braiu skilled to observe his interest is no greater pre tention than that which is recognized iu every other department of industry. So far, and within reasonable limits, asso ciations of this character are not only lawful, but are, in my judgment, bene ficial when they do not restrain individual liberty aud are under enlighteued and cuiKcious leadership. But they are sub ject to the same laws as other associations. Tne leaders to whom are giveu the vase power ot judging and acting for the mem bers are simply, in that respect, their trustee; their conduct mu30 be judged like mat ot other trustees, by the extent of their lawful authority and the good faith with which they have executed it. No mau iu his individual right cuu lawfully demand and insist upon conduct by others which will lead to au injury to a third person's lawful rights. The railroads carrying the mails and interstate commerce have a right to the service of each of its employes until each lawfully chooses to quit, aud any concert ed action upon the ptrt of others to de- ujuuu or insist uuuer any eliective penalty or threat upon their quitting, to the in- jury of the mail service or the prompt j au arbitration committee. But the Pull transportation of interstate commerce, is a I man compauy goes farther iu its auto conspiracy, uuless such deman t or insis- cratic policy than a refusal to arbitrate, tence is in pursuance of a lawful author!.- It has refused to joiu with the business ty conferred unun them bv the men them- I meu and the board of aldermen nt f.hirm-n selves, and is made iu good faith and in ' the execution of such authority. Tho de-, maud and insistence, under efFectivrt penalty or threat, aud injury to the trans position of malls or interstate commerce heing proven, thebatdeu falls upon thoso making the demand or insistence to show lawful authority and good faith in its exe cution. Let me illustrate: Twelve carpenters are engaged in building a house. Aside from I aud refused tolicuH the question as to contract or regulations, they each can whether there was anything to arbitrate or quit at pleasure. A thirteenth aad not; it i.sueedle-s tos.tr a. wiVo of popular tourteenth, mau, strangers to them, by iuuiguution would oblitetate every labor cnncertott'ireatn of holding them up to orKajiztiou from the face of tr-is conn pubhc o liurn or private malice, induce ! try, and uo mora could be formed for the them to quit and leave the house unfiuisu- I noxt fifty years. The stigma of snch a ed. The latter in no sense represent tho position would follow every name con- former or thtfir wishes, but are simply iu- terlopers for mischief aud are guilty of conspiracy agaiust the einplo3er of the carpenters. But if, upou a trial for snch remits. they prove that instead of beiug strangers they are tne trustees, agents or leaders of the twelve, with full power to determine for them whether their wage is such that they ouht to contiuu- or quit, and that they have iu good faith determined that question, they are not, then, so t.tr as the law goes, conspirators. But if it should appear that the supposed authority was u-ed, notiu the interests of the twelve, but to further a personal am bitiou or m ilica of the two, it would no longer justify their conduct. Doing a thiug under cloak of authority is not doing it with authority. The injury of tho two to the employer in such an instance would only be aggravated by their treachery to the associated twelve, and both rmp'.oyer and employes should, with equal iusistauce, ask the visitation of the law. If it appears to yoo, therefore, applying tha illustration to the occurrences that will be brought to your attention, that any two or more persons hy concert, insisted or demanded under effective penalties and threats, upon men quitting their employ ment to the ohstruLtion of the mails or in terstate coiiim-rce, you may inquire whether they did thee act3 as strangers to these meu, or whether they did them under the guise of trustees or leaders of au association to which these meu belonged. And if the latter appears, you rany inquire whether their acts and conduct in that re spect were iu faithful and conscientious execution of their supposed authority, or were simply a ruse of th-it authority as a guise to advance personal umhtttou or sati-fy private malice There is honest leadership anion, these, our laboring fellow-citizen?, nud there is doubtless dishouest leailership. lou chmili! nnf: lirim! anv act of leadarshln at done dishoneslv or iu bad faith un es u j clearly at once appears.

Sincerely believing that the flimesof discord are being purposely fanned by the railway corporations at the risk of the life ot the government, I tike the liberty to appeal to you and through you to the con science of the whole people, imploring you to lay down the implements of toll for a short time and under tho b tuner of peace and with a patriotic desire to promote the public welfare, use the power of your aggregated uumbers through peaceable assemblages to create a healthy public sen timent in favor of au amicable settlement of the issues growing out of the receut strike of the Pullman employee, aud you are further requested not to return to your usual avocations until a settlement of the pending trouble is mide known to you through some authentic source. la he present strained relations between cur porations aud their employes Is involved a principle near aud dnr to all American citizens, the right of labor to present grievances to the owners aud represent' atives aim corporate capital. Tne Pullman Palace Car company re fused to arbitrate the differeuce between j itself and its employes, ou therouud that cars were ouur ueiow cos aud therefore there was nothing to arb.tmte. But the conclusion of every unprejudiced mil d must he that it such were the true facta it could have nothiug to fear at the hands of iu a committee to discuss the question as to whether there is anvthiug to arbitrate or not, and buhiud this autocratic policy Clauds the Managers associa'ioa of the railway corporations, bck-d bv the United States army as the aiders and abet tors of this social crime. Suppose tho Pullman company had in vite I organiz-d Hhor to arbitrate, and or ganized labor had declined tho invitation necte 1 with organized labor to the urnve. But in the present crisis the corporations, whose wealth has been created by labor. take the position that they ure prior and choke their creator. Like the brigands of old they rob the laboring misses and em- ploy the sword aud blu lgeon and set up a throne ou the bones of the vanquished, and declare their divine right to rule over the bal me of mankiu 1. The Piilim tn c nnpiny claims, notwith standing the wages of their employes were reduced tJ the starving point, that there is nothing to arbitrate because cars have j beeu built at a loss, yet it neglects to state that the stock of the compmy has been watred three tunes over and tuut the company has not only been able to pay its regular dividends on stuck, water and all. I but that Its -stocks have long been and are at the ures&ut timo at a premium on the stock markets. Mr. Pullmnn cries poverty to his starvrig employes and then retreats to his princely summer mansion on Pull man's island in the St. Ijuwrc-nco river and wires the business men of Cnicago that he litis nothing to arbitrate. Like Xero, he laughs in luxury while devoted martyrs burn. If the present strike is lost to labor it will retard the progress of civilization and reduce tho possibility of labor to ever em iticipate itself from the thraldom of greed. The dignity of labor and all the victories won ia the past are at stake iu this present conflict. I beseech you to In true to your obligations in this hour of trial. Conrt the co-operation of the gen erous public. Stand firm and united in onr common cause and the victory will be one of peace aad prosperity for.the faithful. J. It. SOVEREIGN", Grand Master orxmm.

LoMXy, July 11, The correspondent of the Siaudatd at Constantinople sy At the moment of the first earthquake, I was in the dining room of the O tomn. Sud denly the wnole structure rocked to and fro violently. In cotnpmy with others I hastened to the staircase. Another vio lent shock occurred and every instant I expected tho huge buil ling to fall burying iu its rums the terrified people withiu its. w.,lls. When I reached the street a most ex'raOrdmnry spectacle pre sented itself. People with terror depicted ou their faces were running iu nil directions. Everybody was talking of the disisters whtch hal occurred iu other por tions of the town. In everv open spce crowds ot people were gathered, beiug afraiu to eutsr their holts s. The well known public garden. Petit Champs, was crowdeo wi h p tnic-stricken inhabitants. I u Galatea a building fell, burying the Inmates. Tue streets wore strewn with teiegrapu poles and wires. Keports reach me of much damage to property aud loss ot life iu Siamboui. the hnzaars having suffered ia particular. Siamboui appeared te he coveted with a mist or dust. Iu all there were turee distinct shock-, the last two being the must violeat, whtch were felt this- morn iug; each was accompiuud by a loud rumbhug uoiae which I at tirst took for the crash of falling buildings. Several houses fell in Suun LouL lu Gnlat.i tite shock was severe aud the near quays were reduced to turn. Alauy persons were killed ami injure!. The shock was felt iu its full severity iu the villages bordering ou the Bosphoriis aud the Sea of Mamora. Most of the buildings there suffered damage aud some were ruined completely, it is believed fifty persons have lost tueir lives and that the injured far exceeds that figure. The loss to proper will be very lnro. There huve also beeu severe shocks of earthquake iu Smyrna, the Island of Sc o, aud m the Dardanelles. Telegraphic communication between those places aud Cousiautiples has beeu cut oft aud details have uot been received. fae Da.ly News' correspondent says: "Yesterday's earthquakes were the se verest that have bten fell here withiu living memory.

There are two classes of schools ir Armenia, private and public. Tho pri vate schools beg-in at sunrise and end nt sunset. Each child bring-a a piece of carpet, which ho places on the floor, and upon which ho sits nil day until sunset, when he carries home ag-nin his square rug-. Tho children supply their own hooks, consequently the text hooks vary from a bible, a prayer book to a newspaper, and when a pupil ha .lecrned all in his own text-book he ex changes it with another student, nnd so on.

The popular standards of the puriVj vl water are clearness, tasteloMntBi and colorlenes1;, and yet they arc In reality less desirable qualities than ar softness, freedom from putroaclple or ganic matter, and stability in Ktnraga.
