None Are Molested Here and No Trouble Feared. At 12 o' lock, noon, today the Santa Fe hops in this city were closed for an in definite period. The responsibility for their closing1 rests somewhere between the managers of the A. It. U. and those of the railroad. At its meeting last night the A. R. U., which claims a membership in Topeka of nearly eleven hundred, in a set of resolutions, published elsewhere, ordered its- members to quit work at noon today. The order was generally given out and the strike was expected. Shortly after 10 o'clock, however, the following order appt ared on the walls of the "block house": The shops will be closed at noon to day, July for an indefinite period.

' There was ye! ling t:d hurrahing and a big cry of "Pay day," 'Pi.y day," went up as the meu crowded into tho "block house" to de posit the ' last blocks they will take in before many of them feel the demands of their stomachs lor a sufficiency of food. It is difficult to es'imate the exact strergth of tiie A.

Another order that was displayed on the block hout-e and afracted a great deal of attention was the call fur th.? meeting at Trades assembly hall this afternoon at 2 o'clock "to appoint a committee to see about the two months pay now due us."

This not only includes the fcSanta Fe nut the union members on all roads in Atchison. At Kmporia the situation, as depicted by the official A. R. L". telegram, is thickening. The dispatchers and tele graphers - here went out at 0 o'clock last night and taere are no men working there in any departments. A telegram from the ). It.

Ae the whistle at the shops was blowing at noon a motion was made that "ail employes of the railroad train service irrespective of organization, will now quit work until the men discharged fvr refusi ig to handle Pullman car are reinstated. 'lhe motion carried unani mously, aal none of the men that were present at the meeting will work from now on. It mus; be remembered that these men go out as individuals, however, not as membtrs of the orders to which they belong oi tside of the. A. It. U. There has as yet been no strike ordered of the bwi'chmfn'i union, the R of R. T. or the 15. of L. I'. It will doubtless cripple the train and yard service to a considerable extent.

General Manager J. J. Frey said this afternoon: The situation is brighter today, if any change at all can be said to have been made. We are ruauing trains both freight and passenger into and out of La Junta and Denver, and the read is practicaiiy open between Denver and Chicago. We h id one train stopped a fevv hours last night at Fort Madison, but it is moving now and that is the only trouble we have had east of Kansas City since Saturday. "Our trains are now coming from Den ver all right, and there is uo interruption at La Junta. 2so. 5 from Denver passed La Junta at 2:30 o'clock this morning, and 2So. 8 is coming from La Junta with several Pullmans. "United States troops left Denver this morning for Trinidad, and arrived there at o'clook. "The authorities at Washington have ordered the general in command of the New Mexico division to proceed with troops to Katon. and we expect he will soon open that blockade. Business between the east and California is still suspended, but I think the outlook is encouraging. I ordered the shops here and at Ottawa closed at noon and they will remain closed until further notice." Mr. Frey received the following dis patch this afternoon: Chicago, July 2. 1804. Mr. Fhkt: Judges Woods and Cross cup of United State i court, have enjoin ed Debs, HoNvard, American Railway un ion and others. Injunctions brought by United States under Anti-Coaspiracv act of 1800.

"And that is not all," he said, in further reviewing the situation, "I am on tho inside and know that the American Federation of Labor will all go out he fore tomorrow night, unless this A. It.

We don't a--k you to accept them as a gift, but just take care of them, anyway.' Some of the business men of the town have also chipped in a little money to sort of defray the ex penses of telegrams, etc." President Sloat received the following teleirram this afternoon from Chicago: "We are growing stronger every min ute.

There were two big union meetings of the railroad men of Topeka, uuder the auspices of the A. It. U., at I. O. O. F. hall yesterday. One was called to order at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the other at 8 o'ek ck in the evening. The hall was packed at botu and President It. J. Sloat presided. There was in attendance a delegation of six men from Emporia. They were J. W. Lyons, representing the O. It. C. ; James Bruce, of the B. of L E.; Tom Lewis, of the switchmen; F. Thompson, of the machinists; John Thompkiiis, of the li. of li, T., and Fred Painter, of the B. of L. F. Rousing speeches were made by each of these gentlemen and several of tiie local railroad men alo spoke. The seu timeut of tho meeting v,3 to stick by the strikers through thick and thin and enthusiasm ran high, the speakers being frequently interrupted by applause. In his speech President Sloat charged the the men against vioience of any kind and told them to keep away from the company's property and do their talking on the rais. The meeting resulted in several hundred new members to tiie local union of the A. It. U. and the mem bership now claimed ia tdmost eleven hundred. A set of resolutions condemning the Piiilman company, and the Santa Fe officials, endorsing President Debs, call ing on all other railw ay organizations for aid nnd or Icring the local members of the A. lb U. to refuse to work after noon today was introduced and passed with great enthusiasm. Following are the resolutions: The Resolution. Toi kka. July 1, 15U4. Whereas, The Pullman Palace Car company, one of the most powerful cor porations in this country in its greed for wealth, has reduced the waes of its em ployes below a living standard; and Whereas, Said employes have asked for the restoration of their wages to the former scale; and Whereas, The Pullman company refused to confer with its employes also dacliced a plen of arbitration posed by the citizens of Chicago has and vicinity; and Whereas, The employes for the pro tection of themselves and families from starvation were forced to leave the com pany's service; and Whereas, The A., T. & S.

This to take effect at twelve o'clock, noon, on Monday, July 21, lti4. Signed TorKBA 1 NioN No. 57, A. R. U. Upon the formal passage of these res olutions, hats and umbrellas went into the air and the cheering was almost deaf ening. Before the meeting closed a telegram from President Eugene V. Debs was read, as follows: "Wire your senators and representa tive urging them to support Senator Kyle's mail train resolution. Our pros pects are growing brighter everywhere. All employes of all lines, regardless of organizations will stand together. None will return to work till all are reinsta ted. Et'OKNE V. Debs." The congressional resolution relerred to vra introduced in the United States senate by Senator Kyle th.s morning at the solicitation of the Knights of Labor and is as follows: "That no warrant or other process, civil or criminal, shall be issued by the United States commissioners out of any circuit or district court of tho United States against any person or persons for the aliened obstruction of any railroad train or trains, unless it shall appear that such person or persons have obstructed or hiudered such train in such manner as to interfere with the safe and conven ient transportation of the mails of lhe United States, and the detachment of Pullman or other parlor or sleeping coaches from any railroad train or trains shall not coustit ute any offense against the lawa of the United States." DEMOCRATS A II E HERE lteady For thfi Iejji n ins: of tiie frtate Con ventioQ. The Democrats stat convention will convene in Hamilton I14H at 2 p. m. ti morrow. The call gives the number of delegates as 4o',', 1 ut if 20J are here there wiii be as many as are expected. The stalwarts are evidently on top and the delegate who is in favor of fusion has hid himself and could not be found today. All declare for a straight ticket with the exception of co!;gressman-at-large. More than a hundred delegates are here and more are expected tonight, but the strike will uudoubtedly prevent many who live in tha southwest from reaching here in time for the convention. Only one man is mentioned lor gov ernor, David Overmyer of this city, and he will probably be nominated -wituout opposition. There are two candidates for lieutenant governor, Lee Jones of Topeka and Tully Scott of Oberlin. Sev eral names have already been mentioned for associate j ustice. J. D. McCleverty of Ft. Scott is in the lead. The only other ollice for which candidates have appeared is that of auditor, the candidates being1 Chas. K. liolllday, Jr.. of Topeka and F.d Murphy of Leavenworth. Jack Garrett of Leavenworth will probably be elected temporary chairman though several other names have been mentioned, among them being Gen. C. W. Blair of Leavenworth and Tully Scott of Oberlin. Nearly all the stalwarts are here, in cluding Harney Sheridan, W. C. Jones, J. lines Orr, J. D. McCleverty and Sam Itiggs and it now looks as if they would carry the day. ' RAILROAD TIES. Good railroad ties are expected to last eight years. The p:iy rolls of the Big Four show that there nra employed on the system C43 station agents.

Wants to Know When the De taching of Pullmans Became an Offense Against United States Laws. Chicago, July 2. Operations against the strikers began today with a confer ence between United States Judges Woods and Grosscup, and Ldvvin Walker special solicitor appointed yesterday by Attorney General Oiney and District At torney Miichrist. The lawyers had a bulky type-written bill asking the led eral courts to enjoin the strikers from interfering with the mails. The bill was au ominous document covering all tho roads. It was tiled during the morning. Tiie Kock Island railway officials and a squad of deputy marshals and sheriffs at L.e yards iu liluo loiaud, today began trying to lift the blockade iu effect since Saturday noon. United States Marshal Arnold was in charge of the eighty-oue deputies, and Deputy Sheriff Frohm and a squad of meu prepared to aid tue lederal authori ties iu clearing the yards. General Superintendent Duulap and Roadmaster Conlin were in charge of the Joices of the road. 'lhe first move was toward clearing the tracks thai h id been tided with passenger trains-. Ollicers of the road weut into conference with Mayor Zaciiarias of Blue Island consid ering de.ails of raising the blockade. Luok-cl lxc-ifiii' Fur a T me. Around the tracks and cars a large crowd of strikers gathered. the situa tion along the tracks leading to Biue Island quickly threatened to become dangerous. Attempts on the part of the railway officials to move trains were com batted by determined resistance. The strikers formed across the tracks aud tried t place themselves in a posi tion that would result iu injury to them selves should the trains be moved. About 1U0 marshals and deputies were line 1 up along the tracks, but the strikers would not move. Deputy Marshal Logan jumped from a car and started to drive a stubborn striker from the tracks. For a time the conflict was general. Revolvers were displayed on both sides, but shots were not tired. The strikers succeeded for a time in stopping the movement of the trains, but the attempt was abandoned. Police n llin Alert. The police today v ere more on the alert than at any time since the stride began. At each of the larger police stations, six companies consisting of 150 men were kept as a reserve. Patrol wagons were 011 hand to carry these offi cers to any place that an outbreak might occur. In addition hundreds of police were stationed at different points along the different railroad line3 iu the yards and along the track. Inspector Schack said a riot might take place at any mo ment, and if once started it would be difficult to even guess what the result would be. Sheriff Gilbert has piled tip in his office at the court house today U0 Springfield army Titles and 4,0M) rounds of ammuni tion which have just been sent from Springfield by Governor Altgeld. The sheriff swore in extra men to bear these arms. The new recruits were sent out to relieve the reguiaf deputies aud bail iffs who have beeu on duty for several days. So many of the sheriff's employes, in cluding deputies and court bailiffs had been sent out to euard railroad property that the regular business of the office is almost suspended. Cull from, tiie Itnllroitfl. Chief of Police Erennan had calls from the General .Managers' association today for men to be sent to the Pastern Illi nois crossing at '1 hirty-sixth street and from the Lake Shore road at Root street. The details were promptly made as re quested. The stock yards were in a badly de moralized condition today, and the only packer who was buying at all, was Ar mour. The stockyards switching asso ciation had tut one engine running. All ice deliveries made yesterday and today were by wagon. Business wjll be necessarily suspended at the stock yards ty tomorrow, whether there is a formal strike of the packing house employes, or not. Every switch man, fireman, engineer and yard foreman at the yards has quit work, and each is watching to see that no train moves. The ice companies in the city are bringing in ice by boat, and the price has already advanced greatly. Deputies Diiiai invd. 2:30 p. m. The 2, 00 strikers at Blue Island have overcome the deputy sheriffs aud marshals. The latter gave up the unequal battle and called for state ;ind federal aid. Telegrams were sent to United States District Attorney Milchris: and Sheriff Gilbert asking that the Fifreenlh regiment, U. S. A., (regu lars) from Fort Sheridan and the militia be sent to clear the blockade and to pre serve order. The telegrams were sent after the force at the yards had been beaten in an at tempt to clear the way for the mail trains. About 2,000 strikers gathered around the cars and effectually stopped any attempt to move trains. Marshal Arnold and DeputyLieberandt, in charge of the sheriffs, conferred and decided that they must have aid in order to make any headway. Their conference resulted in the transmission of the fol lowing telegrams: United States District Attorney Miichrist, :tii--ai;o: Wire the secretary of war of a mob of 2,000 men here. We are unable to handle them. Ask him to send the Fifteenth regiment from Fort Sheridan. Answer. Marshal. Ak.nolu Sheriff Gilbert: Mob of 2,000. We are unable to cope with them. Better ask the governor to Bend aid at once. Fked Liebkrasdt. Starting: Train. Arnold and Lieberandt spent the morning trying to move a long line of passenger cars that blocked the Rock Island yards at Blue Island. They filled the dummy track and made it impossible to send mail trains out. About noon the train was made up and started out of the yards. Stones were thrown by the Btrikers, knives were drawn, and the deputies on revolvers. The in the train the trains showed their strikers so hemmed and yard that it became impos- sible to move the train but a short dis tance through the yards. Village Police Officer Michael Larseu added to the con fusion by jumping on the engine aud trying to arrest the engineer for vio lating an ordinance forbidding the block ing of crossings for more than five min utes. The deputy marshals threw the police man from the train. By this time the mob had become so boisterous that any further attempt to sniove the train waa abandoned and thS officers retired to call for help. They report none injured. In answer to Marshal Arnold's request for regular U. S. A, troops United Stales District Attorney MMchrist tsaid that he would send addition-.! forces of United States deputies with the injunction or der before calling for United States troops. Village Police Officer Michael Larsen, who tried to arrest the engineer of the stalled train was arrest by Marshal Arnold for obstructing the mails. The marshal's deputies think the town ofliceis, while promising them support, are really in favor of the strikers. About 15U passengers are delayed at Blue Island and are unable to get water or food. The deputies are in the same position and supplies have been sent from the city. Wo n t Haul Troop. The engineer and fireman deserted the engine which was to haul the Sev enth r?giment I. iN. G. to Blue Island, and all engineers and firemen who were called upon refused to take the engine. It was then stated that the train would be taken out by oflie.ala. ih Train Waltiii -. 2:3) p. m. A train is made up, fully manned, at Fort Sheridan ready to carry the Fifteenth regiment, U. S. A. troops, to Chicago the moment marching orders are received. UcpuIlM GIt Up. 3 p. m. Chief Deputy Marshal Logan was stabbed during the encounter by a striker. The wound is long and deep and extends down the left side from the arm pit. It is not dangerous. United States Marshal Arnold and his force of 200 deputies huddled in the cars that blockade the Rock Island yards, awaiting the arrival of the Second regiment I. N. G. and the Fifteenth regiment of the regular army at Fort Sheridan. The deputies and their officers saw that a determined re sistance to the strikers meant bloodshed aid they withdrew leaving the tracks in the possession of the strikers. Strikers boldly declared that trains would be dumped when the soldiers ap peared, and bullets be met with bullet. Armd Hrlckinikeri Join. Two thousand brickmakers at Bine Island struck this afternoon and armed themselves with the intention of aiding the strikers at that point. The deputies at Blue Island refused late this afternoon to resist the strikers. They said they were old railroad men and would not fight the A. R U. It is apparent that many of the railroad men are having themselves sworn in as depu ties. A General Strike. 8:30 p. m. President Debs received this dispatch from General Master Work man Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor: "Have I left anything undone"; Am willing to call a general strike."
