from Fort Sboridan. Tlio roports placod
tbo number of cars burned at nearly a

to bo anxious to keep out of dnnp?r of a
collision with Undo Sam'a men : nd dovoto
their energies to quartors whoro
things woro Ions on tbo buzz-paw order.
A fow papsengor trains arrived nt tbo
dopots in tho city and woro nnrr.olostod.
Ono of thoio was a Rnta Fo

St. Louis, Ha, Jaly 4.?For to-day
the railroads practically took a holiday.
No attempt was made to move furthor
than to tho sldo of the river, and with
a majority o( the roads not much effort
was made to ovou movo passenger
trains. To-morrow the inactivity will
ce&so and the railway managers will
tako declsivo stops toward patting their
roada into activo operation. Then
troablo is likely to break looso. Up to
this timo thore have boon no acts of
violence, bat the explanation may bo
the inactivity of the railway managers.
Now now men aro being hired, 'lhey
represent ovory branch of the railway
servlce/and many, tho railroads claim,
are comootont and thoroughly esporioncod.
To-morrow soveral roads will endeavor
to fill tho plnccs of tho strlkors
with thosenowmenand it is their intontion
to reaumo oonding out their freight
trains. If they meet with obstruction
they will appfr to tbo Unitod States
courts for an injunction, and if a rostraining
order dooa not provont interference
thoy will call on tho President
of tbo United States for aid of fedorcl
troops. Buporlntendent Jones, of the
Missouri Pacific terminals at tho Union
depot, discharged six yardmastera today
because thoy rofused to continuo
throning switches. Tho six mon discharged
are members of tho Switchman's
Aid socioty, which it is said, will
now ordor out its mombers in retaliation.
lloporta wore received at Wabash
headquarters to-day that toloeraph
operators havo joined tho strikers.*
This move is a surpriso to tho officials,
But ono road, tho Tolodo, St. Louis &
Kansas City, which is in tho hands of a
United States receiver, is ablo to mako
any showing in handling traffic. All
tbo othors arotied up as to frolght and
nearly so as to passenger trains. Tho
return yesterday of Iron Mountain yard
men had accomplishod nothing, as that
road is receiving no froigbt, oithor from
theterminul or other roads consequently
has little businoss for tbo roiurnod
mon to handle.
Tho striko has dlvorted business to
the stoamboats, and rivor men oxpect a
good deal of froight will be taken out
by way of tho river if tho trouble lasts
any length of time.
Mora local froight is being handled by j
tho boats than for several years. Tho
scarcity of coal is, howovor, again being
felt, as tho supply along tho river
has almost been oxbaustod. Tho St.
Louis breworios will Joso considerable
in consequonce of the strike. Tho beer
thoy havo on tho road not dollvored 1
will bo a dead loos to them, as it will

iiACRAMMTo, Cal., July 4.?ThroughI
out tbo day the most lntonso ozcitomoot
has prevailed boro. Tbo colebration of
tho national holiday was complotcly
overshadowed by tho stirring ovenls
arising from tho doflpernte itrnggle betweon
tbo Southorn Pacific and the
Amoricao Railway Union.
At 10 o'clock this morning two regiments
of state militia from San Francisco
and two companies from Stockton
inarched into this city. Thoy had
abandoned their train two miios out of
city. Tho troops marchod dircct to tho
armory, around which tho load militia
companies had established a strong
guard. Soon aftor tho troops had
broakfastod tho city becamo wildly oxcitod
ovor a report that several men
had beon shot. Many of tho atrifcora
wero wild with rage. It tranapirod,
bowovor, tho shooting wna accidental.
Whon tho soldiora arrived tbey wero
greotod with dorisivo yolls and harsh
comments. One body ol troops pasiou
into tbc railroad v.irda and took up
tboir position along tbo main lino. Tho
lost of tbo soldiers woro massed outsido
tbo dopot. It becamo known that Goneral
Snperintondont Fillmore bad
announced his intention to start
traiua under military protection.
Tho strikors at onco
bocamo demonstrative. Finallv throo
companiofl of militia wore ordered to
drive the strikers from tho dopot. Tho
ecouo was at onco tumultuous and tho
situation threatening. For a fow momonts
tho soldiors hesitated, then thoy
wavered, and then camo an abrupt refusal
to movo against tbo excitod
strikors. A fow minutos lator all tho
troops turned their backs upon tho turbulent
mob at tbo dopot and quiotly
withdrew to tho armory.
A deafening shout announced tho second
victory of tho strikors over tho railroad
company and their first victory
ovor tho militia. Soon after this it bocamo
known why tho militia had retroatod.
Unitod Stotoa Marshal Baldwin
and tbo railroad olQcials had insisted
that tho troops refrain from ehooting
and that thoy reinovo tho strikors
by physical atrongth. This plan tbo offlcors
of tbo malitia absolutely refused
to sanction.
At Dunsmuir, shortly after noon, a
hndv of 75 strikors fullv armed aud
equipped for battlo, marchod to the
Southern Pacific dopot, whore othor A.
R. U. mon had a car and locoinotivo in
waiting, and aoon tho armed body
of oxcitod men wero spoodlng
towards Sacramento. A Unitod States
marshal's car was coupled behind tho
coach in which tho strikers woro rioting.
At Ked Blnfl a demonstration
which also portends troublo waa mado
