General Manager J. J. Frey in speak
ing of the str.ke situation on the Santa
Fe this afternoou said: "Everything is
encouraging. Our Chicago and Denver
trains are moving regularly as usual, ami
at 11 o'clock this morning we succeeded
in moving the lirt traiu load of
freight out of our yards at Argen-'
tine for the east. This was a traiu of
eighteen cars of perishable freight and
it is the tirct (rain we have succeeded in
moving toward Chicago from our Argen
tine freight y-irds since the opening of
the s: rike.
'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

consisting of some ten or twelve men
from as many divisions of the brother
hood on the entire Santa Fe system are
in session at the National hotel this after
noon to consider whether or not they
shall join their forces with the A. It U.
in the present strike.
The chairman of the comraitte, It II.
Gunnington of Fort Madison, Iowa, is
with them and has been in conference
with General Manager Frey of the road
today. 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

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

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

The announcement in the above Asso

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

the question.
It is now learned that Mr. Ciiggitt vol

he couid not allord to move to Topeka
ami give up his splendid law practice at
Pittsburg and his law partner has be

A RIOT AT BUTTE

Adurnht -be i'ruuti f Nttluou-.
Butte, Mont., July o. An A. P. A.
riot broke out here yesterday uttemoou.
One man is dead, one lataiiy and half a
dozen more or less seriously wounded is
the result of the outbreak. The militia
has been called out aud is stationed in
one district of the city. All saloons have
been closed as well as pawn shops and
places where amuiuuit.ou is cold.
The trouble was precipitated by two
saloon keeper decorat ing ttie fronts of
their p. aces with buuiittg, forming tho
letters A. 1 A. 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. The
hosa was then turned into Simon llaus
wirth's saloon and the A. P. A. signs torn
down. Several men inside tho 6-aloon be
gan shooting. One man stood at the
door aisd tired six shots into the
saloon. The sheriff arid posse then
came upon the scene, and some of them
were roughly bandied aud barely escaped
w ith lives. The mayor then caLed upon
the governor for militia and several local
companies wen; ordered out. Hopes
were drawn across the street and the
I militia cleared the Hock ot all people,
i Quiet was restored at tiie immediate
scene of the riot.
The following are the results of the
shooting.
D. 11. Dalj", a special policeman, was
shot through the heart and instantly

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.

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

At present the roads have practically
