'We expect to move more freight trains today than any day since the strike opened. He expect to get all the de layed trains out of the yards at La Junta, Trinidad and Raton before eight and will move them both east and west. There is still some lit tle trouble at Grand Junction on the Coicralo Midland, but we seem to be getting the best of the situation. The deputies arrived there from Denver last evening about 7 o'clock and this morning our Denver train was moved out if Grand Junction on regular time." When the Journal reporter asked Mr. Frey about the story circulated on the street th it he had offered to let all the men go back to work, who aro willing to work, and pay them their two months' lack salary, ho said: - "You just a-k me that question and deny it in the strongest language you know how to lite. We have not for one moment even consi lered su;h a thing and it is entirely out of the que stion." Mr. Frey said the Santa Fe has today succeeded in putting to work two switch engine t rews in most of the yards be tween Kans is City and Chicago. Wil. th Telrif rphr s rike?

To a Journal reporter Mr. Gun nington said, '-I do not anticipate that the brotherhood will decide to take any part as a body in the present ditiiculty. If the men choose to go out individually it is their own affair. They are not. bound not to ly our consti tution, and they are at l'berty to join the A. It U. if they want to. The brother hood has no grievance, however, and will not enter the strike.'" Other members of the commit tee think d.fferently though. One of them said this morning, "We are railroad men and it is a railroad light. We are interested and we ought to stay by our brothers. I am in favor of going out with the balance, anl I t elieve a majority of the brotherhood is." 11 A A KIN MASON NAMED Appointed IT. S. Aii ant lltrict Attor ney view .Morris Cliitl, liMignsd.

The announcement in the above Asso ciated Press dispatch from "Washington that Rankin Mason has been appointed assistantant United States attorney for the district of Kansas, to succeed Morris Ciiggitt resigned, was news to the politi cians of all parties. No one in Topeka except Mr. Mason and his most intimate friends knew that such a thing was likely to happen, as no one imagined Mr. Ciiggitt intended giv ing up his office, it is such an unusual occurrance, and he was such a satisfac tory ol'icial that h'S removal was out of the question.

Tuesday night some one, presumably Catholic, set oif a stick of giant powder under one of tho windows, demolishing a large plate glass. This attracted a large crowd of people to the scene, w hich blocked the street all day. After the parade the police could not disperse the crowd. Several lights oc eurred and the lirst shot was tired by W in. Ferguson at Wm. Page. This in tensified feeling and tho crowd started to tear down the buddings occupied by the saloon man who had tha A P. A. sign out. Judge McIIattou of the district court, appeared in a window and addressed the crowd, appealing to them to commit no overtact of violence and gave assurance that tiie trouble would end. The crowd could nut be calmed, but was held at bay by wise counsel. At 6:l0 last evening the riot tells rang out and the liro department rushed into the crowd turning water upon it.

Adaiissk u 25a DEATH STRUGGLE th) Hail roads and Strikers Begun Today. Of the Wild Scenes in the Hailroad Yards at Chicago. CARS OVERTURNED. Troops Drive the Hioters From One Place, Only to Gather in Greater Force Elsewhere. IT IS GROWING WORSE. Mobs Becoming More and More Unruly Every Moment. Fears That Scenes of Carnage' Are Inevitable. Chicago, July 5. Regular troops made their first charcre on the strikers at the yards this morning. Ninety of the 15th regiment under Major llartz and j Captains Chapin of C ompany B, and j Mitchell of Company D, dispersed 3,000 ; men who were blocking the passage of a meat train near the main entrance to . the yards. Sw iit & Co. were starting a ; train for New York. I It was ready to leave the yards but a 1 crowd prevented its departure auJrefus ! ed to move from the tracks. Troops I were sent for and the detachment uudjr Major llartz was soon on the ground. A short distance from the scene of the trouble the order to move on the double quick with fixed bayonets was giveu. i Through the crowd the soldiers moved without resistance and the strikers and i their sympathizers lied without reform- ing. I The only incident that occurred dur j ing the night was a report that the dep j uues guarding the pump atthe west end yards na.l been attacaea. -Reinforcements were sent, and it proved to be only a gang of boys return ing from a Fourth of July dance who were standing off at a distance calling the deputies everything but gentlemen. A .Strik.-r Mint. Deputy U. S, Marshals Pick and Mc Gann, on duty at Graud Crossing, claimed to see a striker approach a switch on the lliinois Central tracks today with the evident purpose of derailing an ap proaching train. The called on him to hait. but he ignored the command and they fired at him. One shot took effect in the fellow's leg. City policemen in the vicinity heard the shooting, came up and placed the deputy marshals under arrest. Some conflict of authority is likely to ensue as Grand Crossing is within the city liuiits, aud the police have been instructed that their authority is paramount. The wounded striker was taken to a hospital. The Illinois Central railroad renewed its suburban service today and a limited number of trains were running with the I usual regularity. The officials believe the complete service will soon be re stored. There was no trouble in securing crews for the engines. V.&rd l-'ull of Striker. Some time before noon today the yards at Fifty-fourth street filled with strikers. Companies C and G of the Fifteenth in fantry had just arrived from Blue Island to reinforce troops already there. The troops got out of the car at Fifty third street. Company C deployed and the troops marched through the yards at charge bayonets. The mob disap peared before them. Large crowds were on the top of the freight cars, but no stones were thrown. The yards have been closed, A train on the Lake Shore was stopped at Forty-fourth street at 11 o'clock this morning. The engineer and fireman were requested to leave the engine aud refused. They were then forcibly put off by the strikers. The engine was cut and the train was moved back into the yards by the strikers. Stock Varus, Chicago, 12:45 p. m. At the Forty-seventh street crossing of the Rock Island, an immense crowd was gathered, anticipating the arrival of an incoming Rock Island passenger train. The troops cleared the tracks, and not withstanding there was some stone throwing, tho train proceeded to the city. At Dearborn Street S'atlo,.. At the Dearborn station an effort was being made today to get through passen ger trains out on all of these roads. Most of the trains were getting out of the sta tion. It was said no attempt to renew suburban service on any of the Dearborn station lines would be made today. Gen. Miles at United States headquar ters here said this forenoon that he con sidered the strike situation more favor able than was anticipated. lis was hop ing that serious trouble or bloodshed might be avoided. Gen. Miles and other army officers held a consultation and ii is understood that the subject of discussion was the disposition of troops along the L'nion Pacific and the possibility of biinging a detachment of troops here from Fort Omaha. RinforomBls of Troop. Gen. Schotield late last night wired Gen. Miles from Washington to order six companies from Fort Leavenworth. Kas., and two companies of the 19th infantry from Fort Brady, Mich., to Chicago im mediately in order to insure the presence of a sufficient force to meet all emergen cies. This will increase the available force to two full regiments of infantry, besides the cavalry and artillery, mak.ng 1,000 men in all. General Mils received word at noon of the charge of the mob at the stock yards and remarked significantly: "Somebody will get hurt down there." The rout of the strikers did not make all plain sailing for the meat train, and at 1 o'clock this afternoon it had only moved as far as the Fort V ayne cross ing, a short distance outside the yards. Through its short journey the men in charge had been harassed by the strikers and a continually increasing crowd made the situation serious. Several times the soldiers were com pelled to drive the men from the tracks. At the Fort Wayne crossing the gates were closed and no one would open them. The train was stalled at this point. Additions to the mob wore being received continually and the crowd rapidly grew more excited. Threats of Violence were loud and stones were thrown. Cars Derailed. Fifteen freight cars were overturned on the Lake Shore road near Thirty ninth street and Halstead, ju3t at the entrance to the L'nion stock yards at 1:S0 p. m. A number of cars belonging to the - stock yards switching association were overturned a few momenta before. The mob which numbered far up in the thousands rushed by common impulse at the cars aad pitched them in the ditch. No troops were at the scene of the trouble at the timo. One thousand strikers congregated at Fortieth street and Weutworth avenue and tried to wreck the tower house on the Lake Shore and the Rock Island roads. Policeman Lieutenant Fitzpatrick was dispatched to the scene with a large force of police. Later The mob overturned about fifty freight cars on the Fort Wayne road. The attack was made between 39th and Root streets, a point not covered ' by the troops at the time. I Iviitjclit of Lub.ir to .Strike. ! At 12 m. today it was announced at the general managers' headquarters that j information had been received of an order issued today by General Master Workman Sovereign of the K. of L. for a strike of all Knights bet ween Omaha and j the Pacific coi.st. j The 6trike order, it was stated, in ' eluded Knights of Labor employes in all lines of business not merely those wording for the railroads. The informa tion come to the general managers in a dispatch from Des oiues. The order for a special grand jury to investigate violations of the United States statutes by the strike leaders was entered on the records today in accord ance with the decision o Judge Gross cup. l&bttous Scen4i The scenes attending the moving of the meat train in the stock yards today were most exciting. After the troops scattering the crowd at tho first charge, the train started. Soldiers guarded the tracks and the cavalry preceded the train. Hooting aud yelling on all sides, an in creasing mob tagged behind calling the men scabs and trying to hinder the oper i atiou of the switches. 5 .Many women were in the crowd and ! their voices joined those of the men : in deriding the troops aud peace ' officers. The Forty-third street via : duct under which the train passed '; was crowded with angry specta tors, but at this time the opposition con I fined itself to noise. At Wallace street the train stopped while an attempt was made to replace a p switch that had been thrown. ; Stone throwing for the first time inter- ; rupted the work. M. S. Wright, an otfi cei of the packing company was struck and knocked senseless by a rock. He : had been trying to throw a switch. Ilia fall was the signal for an order to the cavalry to charge iu advance of the train. At the first move of the horsemen, the rioters turned back and the railway men threw the switch. Cavalry Prove KffVctlve. Without further trouble the train pro ceeded to Dolse & Shepard's stone yards. The command to close in by the cavalry did not restore order. The order to clear the tracks was given and the horsemen rode into the crowd. The rioters scat tered without being harmed. From this point to the Ft Wayne crossing the train made good headway. Closed gates atthe crossing barred fur ther progress and the train came to a standstill. No one would open the gates and the delay was prolonged. Be yond the crossing several freight cars were dumped sidew ays on the track and it was impossible to move them. Neither police nor the soldiers would touch the cars. At other points along the line the name blockade was made, and the after noon was spent in an attempt to straight en up the roadway. About 10,000 people gathered around the stalled train, aud any move by the railway officers it was expected would meet w ith violent opposition. lt-nt on Mischief. Leaving the meat train at the crossing, the mob started down the tracks in tent on mischief. The rioters pro ceeded to the switch tower near Fortieth street and Stewart avenue. They drove the operating gang out and when the structure was deserted, it was fired. A switch box controlling the inter-locking system was tired, but in both cases the flames were extinguished with out causing the destruction of the prop erty. A dummy train on tne Fort Wayne from East Chicago stopped near the crossing at which the meat train was standing. It was the object of an attack by bne section of the mob. The engineer aad firemen were driven from the cab and the windows smashed. The con ductor and passengers abandoned the train, and it was left to the mercy of the strikers. When it seemed permanently abandoned the strikers stopped their at-, tack and continued their march along the tracks. Other freight cars were dumped across the tracks. The regulars remained with the meat train. KAIUED THE A. It. I". HALL. Soldiers Creak Into the Sleeting: Itoom at Katon Looking for Arm. Raton, N. M., July 5. Citizens are very indignant at the action of the fed eral troops, 112 meu from Fort Marcy, under command of Col. Pierson, who ar rived last night. They charged through the town at double quick pace to the American Railway union hail, aud with guns leveled, rushed into the hall, prob ably expecting to capture an arsenal of guns and ammunition.

Every Railroad' Man la the City Ualta Work. Joi.ikt, Illinois, July 5. The Central Trades' and Labor council of Joliet held a session this morning and decided to tie up nil roads as far as Joliet was con cerned, the strike to take effect at noon. At that hour every switch engine in Joliet, all conductors, firemen, engi neers, brakemen,switchmen, even flagmen went out and left the railroads helpless The Illinois Steel company is badly crippled in its yard service and no one will man their engine.

Dolphin says the executive board will meet to take action on the matter as soon as the feeling of the men on the various systems is ascertained.

Iu the railroad yards and about the union depot today a more cheerful state of affairs exists and a braver attempt is being made to handle traffic. ' ore switch eugines are at work than at any time this week aud more freight cars being moved. The passenger service is improving and all roads report a better movement in that service. In spite of all this, the situation is still of a most serious charac ter, for as one gain is reported, a loss is to be found to balance it, At present the roads have practically no yard forces, yet there is not enough traffic in or out to keep even the existing force busy. The Iron Mountain, the St. Louis, Keo kuk fc Northwestern and the M.t K & T. on the west side of the river, and tho Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City on the east side, are operating their yards with their regular crews and are experiencing no difficulty in hauling such business as comes to them.

In a speech at a Populist meeting. Governor Waite said: "Deputy United States marshals have no right whatever to be employed by any individual or corporation. In Colorado a receiver has enlisted an army of deputies and has sent them to Trinidad, and the papers tell me that the people there dis armed them." This sally was given by the governor with significant emphasis and was cheer ed by the audience.
