THE ROADS AFFECTED.
Thirty-two roads are now involved In
the great strike. It is learned by the
railroad officials that the list will grow
longer before a settlement Is reached.
Members of the General Managers’
Association admit that- the situation is
serious, especially in the blockade of
freight transportation.
The Inability to get freight intb this
city, the centre of the strike, and where
the blockade is nearly complete, has al
ready brought about a great scarcity of
food, provisions, tee and fruits, and
market prices have advanced to very
high figures.
The first call for troops to protect the
roads was* made Saturday by the Illi
nois Central road, because of trouble
with strikers In Cairo, Ill. Governor
Altgeld has ordered seme of the state
troops to be In readiness to move And
will call them out when necessary.
Following are the thirty-two roads
more or less affected by the strike:

OMNIBUS INJUNCTION.
United States District Attorney Gil
christ has completed .-.n omnibus' Mil for
ae '■'Junction against the strikers. It Is
<f the moat sweeping character ever
drawn, and covers thirty-seven pages of
Fgal cap.
Julpfs Woods and Qroatciip, who re
spectively arrived from Indiana'and Ohio'
thl* morning. In chambers examined the
document, and after two hours’ confer-
referred it back to the United States
attorney for some. »natertil amendment.
Attorney General Olnev wires that the
bill is to be drawn under the provisions
cf the interstate commerce act. which will
wake it sweeping In the extreme. Judge
Wcods said after the conference at noon
“The bill xvLI; be as broad as the. conti
nent, end the order of the court nil
correspond."
The United States court has granted
the omnibus injunction prayed for by the
railr<>ad*. It in a double-header and up
1 ‘i* - to the interference of ail trains
crowing state lints that come untier the
operatic^* of the Interstate commerce act.
Un Itr the Jurisdiction of Judge Wood, It
can be put into operation throughout Illi-
holrf, Indiana and Wisconsin. Five hun-
drei cople* of the Injunction have been
made and will be served on Debs. How
ard and the directors of the American
Railway Union at cnee.
L’nlt»-d States Marshal Arnold wired this
morning from Bine Island, on the Rook
Island road, to Attorney General Olney
at Washington, saying that the largest
force that he could command would be
inadequate to cope with the situation at
that place, and asking him to request
the secretary of war to issue orders for
the troope at Fort Sheridan to move on
to tbe scene of trouble. Marshal Arnold
also sent a message to District Attorney
Gilchrist, telling him what he had done
and asking him to back up the request
for troops. Gilchrist sent the desired
telegram, and another of like import
was sent to the attorney general by the
lawyers for the railroad companies.
STOCK YARDS AFFECTED.
As a result of the general tie-up of the
stock yards railroads, 6,000 men and 400
girls employed in the big packing houses
were laid off this morning. During the
early morning the Burlington road suc
ceeded in bringing !n five trains of live
stock, each train containing thirty cars.
The leceipts of live stock at 9 o'clock
were 8,000 cattle, 9,000 hogs and about 2,000
sheep, and these were killed today for
local consumption. No coal has been
received at the stock yards since last
Thursday, and orders were issued this
morning for a general clean up, pre
paratory to shutting down the packing
houses tonight. At noon, 7,000 more em
ployes of the packing houses were laid
off, making fully 80 per cent, of the em
ployes now out. There Is nothing for
them to do, and the houses have shut
down indefinitely.
■ The report from Des Moines that Gen
eral Master Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor had ordered all em
ployes of the stock yards to strike this
morning is laughed at by the officials of
the yards. None of the 20.000 employes
are organized or belong to any labor
organization, and It is doubtful if they
would strike, as the whole plant will
close tonight. .
The Burlington road has 463 cars of
live stock on the road between Chicago
and Galesburg, nnd the Rock Island has
20,000 head of live stock In pasturage at
Gcneasee. III. The Northwestern road re
ports having 8,000 head in pasturage a
few nillea east of Clinton.
WHAT PULLMAN SAYS.
George M. Puilman, speaking of th«
situation, said:
"This trouble has now outgrown our
Jurisdiction. ’The strike.of the Pullman
cur shop employes ha9 become a subsi
diary feature. It has now become a
question ns to whether tne railroads of
this country can operate their own prop
erties or not. The railway companies
care nothing about the alleged grievances
of the Pullman shop employes. Their
own independence of action Is now at
stake, and they feel that the question
may as well be settled now as at some
later time. 'This is the general disposition
as I understand it.
rt The Pullman company is not embar
rassed In any way. t>ar men are return
ing at St.- Louis and Ludlow, and I think
that the railway employes will soon come
to their senses. We have done all wo
could for our employes, and have paid
them as large wages as the times will
permit. I do not see what more we
can do.”
IN COLORADO.
Pullmans Run Into Denver, Hut the
* Trains Are. Delayed.
.Denver, July 2.—The strike situation
here Is hot materially changed. All roads
art running passenger trains with sleep
ers attached, although some of the trains
are considerably delayed. A Banta Fe
passenger train arrived this morning with
two Pullmans filled with passengers,
tome of whom had been four days en
mule frqm” Chlaago. The Banta.,Fe of-
tklals claim to Have every train manned
cn the western division and all moving
on time. NJ trains ere running through
Trinidad. >
The strike on the Union Pacific ex
tended to the frelglft depots *hls morning,
about 156 employees Joining the striking
switchmen, including platform clerks nnd
car cleaners, among the latter a number
of women. The strike on the Union
Pacific Is seriously affecting the smelters
here. The Gulf management has * anted
the affairs of that line over to the gov
ernment altogether. United States troops
are in charge of the system. Their pas
senger No. 2, due in Denver last Saturday
morning, arriving late this afternoon,
leaving Pueblo on the arrival of the fed
eral troops, which liad the effect of re
leasing the strike bound train. Train
No. 1 left Denver at noon today wltn
fifty deputy United States marshals,
bound for Trinidad.
An attempt was made to move a Gulf
freight train out of Trinidad this morn
ing, but the strikers drove the engineer
off and drew the fire from the engine. A
second attempt having the same result,
the company concluded to await the ar
rival of federal troops. •
Late today orders were Issued at Gulf
headquarters discharging 300 men em
ployed at Pueblo and Trinidad, the reason
given being that there was nothing for
them to do. The order Included track
men, carpenters and bridge builders.
By order of the war department, the
Seventh regiment of United States troops
lift their barracks at ^Foft Logan early
thl» morning and proceeded to Trinidad,
where they will protect the property of
the Gulf and the Santa Fe railroads
against the strikers. Besides this a regi
ment of the cavalry at Fort Wingate. N.
M,v and the Tenth Infantry stationed at
Santa Fe will probably be moved to the
Santa Fe line. *
At Cheyenne, Wyo., there are -JO mem
bers of the American Railway Union.
They are, however, loyal to the company.
Trouble Is feared at Laramie, where the
union Is strong. Not a passenger or a
mail train has left Ogden since yesterday.
GRAIN TRADE PARALYZED,
Chicago. July 2.—The strike Is tying up
lake traffic effectually. The garln trade
is completely paralyzed, as the railroads
are unable to get any grain to the ele
vators. and the Stock for shipment Is
well nigh exhausted. Several hundred cars
freight bound for the seaboard and for
eign ports are sidetracked, the com
panies /being powerless to get It to the
steamboats’ dock. In the meantime the
steamers have been bringing large quanti
ties of freight here, which they have been
unable to deliver to the railroads, and
all the river warehouses are filled to over
flowing. Nearly a score of boats are on
the market today for cargoes, but are
ui.oble to obtain any. Hard coal Is etui
the only fuel to be had here.
Lodge 238 of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Firemen at Brighton Park gave up
its,charter in the old organization today
and Joined the American Railway Union.
The lodge included firemen cn the Chicago
and Alton and the Santa Fe.
Chief of Police Brennan had calls this
morning from the General Managers’ As
sociation for men to be sent to the East
ern Illinois at Thirty-fourth street, and
for the Lake Shore road at Root street.
The details were made as requested. Mr.
Brennan said emphatically this morning
that any one within the city limits who
wanted to work would be accorded police
protection against the strikers. The po
lice department has fully 1,500 men de
tailed for squad duty at lepots, freight
house crossings and switching points.
Chl-f Brennan said that the reports of
tearing up tracks In various parts of
the city had been thoroughly investigated,
but did net tifn out to be true. He re
ceived frequent word from his subordi
nate* that the tracks and crossings were
well patrolled and that no violence was
being attempted.
Sit Grand Trunk passenger trains .ire
in the yards at Battle Creek, and at
Urnst 500 passengers are waiting to get
out. Thi >ards are blocked with freight
ami passenger cars. The Grand 'Pr ink
shop nv>n went out this morning, and the
large threshing machine works cloo^l
down tonight. The authorities have closed
all t* saloons. The Grand Trunk has
cancelled all its trains on the Chicag.
division out of Port Huron, Mich., on ac
count of the suspension of traffic that
went to Battle Creek. All freight trains
have been abandoned on the Hannibal
and Decatur branch of the Wabash, and
all passenger trains are very late. The
Missouri Pacific shops at Fort Scott, oKs.,
have been closed down on account of the
strike.
“The National Association of Street Em
ployes wired us that it would do every
thing possible to help us.” said President
Debs today. "The president, of the Sea
men’s Union came here today and re
ported that his organization was_ per
fectly willing to obey an order for a walk
out. A committee of the Standard^ Oil
Company employes In this city also came
to us. They are ready to quiet. The
Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago
has given assuranco that It will order a
general strike at our request. This would
paralyze the Industries of the town; but
we have no Intention of doing such a
thing. Just aft long as *we can, we shall
confine this fight tfr-lho-.r.tih-Tteto.
forenoon I Issued an order tying up the
remainder, of the Denver and Rio Grande
system. This was Irt response to urgent
entreaties from Colorado. The Rio
Grande is now crippled from A to Z. We
feel eneduraged at the outlook today nnd
shall light on with renewed hope and con-
fienee In our ultimate victory."
When President Debs’ attention was
called to the rumors that have been In
circulation lately, that negotiations look
ing to a settlement of the strike were
being conducted between himself nnd Mr.
Btudebaker, for the Pullman compnny, he
declined to answer direct questions, but
consented to outline tho terms upon which
the officers of the union would settle
the strike.. _
“First,*' he said, “we will settle with
the Pullman Company upon any terms
that the employes of the company may
desire. We will settle with the railroads
on the condition that they restore their
striking employes to their former places.
We want the settlement to take place
with all the corporations at once, how-
° "This Is a general fight between the
employes nnd corporations. The middle
people and the working people are with
us. I have telegrams from the master
workmen of the ^nights of Labor and
the president of the Street Railway Em
ployes’ Association In which they oner to
call out their men. A committee ot em
ployes of the Standard Oil Company
called oh me today and' offered to strike.
1 may say. however, 1 do not intend to
strike beyond tho railroads. uBt in time,
we will tie up tho Industries of the city
If the corporations we are fighting do
not settle with us on a proper basis.
DISCUSSED IN WASHINGTON.
The President jit Conference With the
Secretary of War.
Washington, July 2.—Tho president,
Attorney General Olney and Secretary
of War Dumont h.id an extended con
ference' this morning on tho Western
strike situation. A? a result of the
conference many telegrams were sent
to United Stated civil and military au
thorities in the West and Southwest.
Many telegrams were received at the
department of justice this morning, but
Attorney. General Olney said he was
not prepared to make any of them pub
lic or indicate what the government
would do. The strike situation is re
garded as very serious and the admin
istration is handling It with cauti'on and
firmness. Mr. Olney was at the depart
ment most of the day yesterday .(Sun
day) and late into the night and kept
the wires West busy with messages. He
had several conferences during the day
with the president, who is kept con
stantly advised of the progress and ex
tent of the trouble. • t
The secretary of war has directed
Gen. Ruger. commanding the depart-
ment of Callfqornin, to send troops to
the support of the United States mar
shals at Los Angeles, nnd Gen. Mc
Cook, commanding the department of
Colorado, to assist in restoring order at
Trinidad, Col., where the deputy mar
shals were disarmed by the mobs. Gen.
Miles, who has been Ehst, but Is com
manding the department of Missouri by
telegram, is hourly expected at the war
department for consultation with Sec
retary Limont and other officials re
garding the situation at Chicago, where
his headquarters are situated. He will
probably take West with him a full
understanding as to the course to be
pursued where it differs from the ordi
nary routine.
Gen. Schofield corrects the misappre
hension thaf any appreciable time or
specific orders are necessary tb put the
troops In readiness for duty. The en
tire military force cf the country Is
ready for active duty, and detachments
of soldiers can be sent to any desired
point with practically no delay. The
present situation is considered mo grave
that emergencies calling for troops have
already been anticipated and the gov
ernment Is fully prepared to compel re
spect for the mandates of federal courts.
Promptly upon receiving Information
fri>m the attorney general that tho
United States marshals are unable to
protect any Intercuts for which they
are responsible troops will be dispatched
to assist them.
An Intimation is understood to have
reached the officials of the government
this morning that the railroads affected
by the strike. In addition to calling on
the government for assistance in for
warding the United States mails, would
be compelled ns a last resort to go Into
the United States courts nnd a*k for
government receivers for the protection
of their stockholders. In that event the
entire property of the roads would he
forced upon the government, which
would be corffnolled to provide protec
tion. as was recently done In the case
of the Nbrthern Pacific nnd Union Pa
cific roads when the Ccxey craze was at
its height.
A MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE.
Washington, July 2.—A conference
beginning at 9:30 o’clock and contin
uing until midnight was held tonight

gram*} received by him tonight, one of
which- was from Unkted States Mar
shal Arnold. He Staked that his depu
ties were having a hard time of it and
that if matters did not Improve he
would have to ask for United Stakes
troops to proiect trains. Ills telegram
gave rise cu the most of ths discussion
of the night, toufc botii Attorney Gen
eral Olney and Secretary Lament
stated that no troops In response to
Marshal Arnold’* telegrams toad been
ordered to Blue Islad, the scene of the
most of *tne disorder. Gen. Miles will
leave for Chicago at 11 o’clock tomor
row, thoroughly advised of the govern
ment’s position In the strike master,
aware of all the legal aspects of the
case and informed as to the extent of
his pjwer in the pmfftaea. He arrived
here a'l 9 o’clock and was driven imme
diate!! to Gen. Schofield's residence
and fthe two drove to Secretary La-
n»nt’s and thence to the White House.

HILL HAD HIS WAY ON SUGAR
II. Vol.d Willi Ih. it.publican. ou <h.
Repeal of the Sugar iiount y Gi tug
Into Immediate Effect and
Won by 33 to 3$,
Washington, July 2.—With today’a
boss on, the, tariff bill entered upon the
fourteenth W^k 'of Its consideration in
the seriaie. and at 'the sumo time
stryck n new phase of parliamentary
procedure. Up to this time the bill has
boon tending in commute* of tho
whole, where bills race vo tihofr first
rough dressing; but now it Is before
the senate proper. There ia little If
any difference 'In the forms, except
tb.it, as a general thing, the amend
ments of thti? least Uroporvance ns.
adooted by the committee of tho whole
urtTagreed to In bulk by the sennte,
the more Important ones being reserved
for special action nnd also being open
to debate nnd to the presentation of
other amendments.
Two resolutions bearing ou the pres
ent extensile railroad strike were pre
sented du^ng the morning hour and
laid on the table for »the present, to be
called up tomorrow. The first was of
fered by Mr. Call of Florida, for the
nppo iitment of a select committee of
five senators to inquire Into and it port
tbe cause of the existing strike of rail
way and Fu41m.m car # employes mid
tiia Justice of the demands of the
workingmen, and to report such legis
lation as iniity secure Justice to the
workingmen and be reasonaJble nnd
fair to the r employers, nnd secure tho
transportation of the mails, freight
and passengers without interruption.
The second .was offered by Mr. Kyle
(Populist) ot South Dakota, It is in tho,
forun o-f a joint resolution, and is as
follow’s: “Be It resolved, etc.. That no
warrant or other process, c vll or crim
inal. shJ'lI b- Issued by any United
Suites commissioner or circuit or dis
trict court Judge of the United. StttteB
agaim-c any person, or poisons for tho
alleged obstruction of any railroad
tra n or trafina unless It slmjl appear
ihat such person has obstructed or hin
dered such train or trains in ouch
manner as to interfere' with the safe
and -convenient movement on the part
of such trobrSr trains hs ia essential in
the safe and convenient tran#iportnUon
of tho malls of the United States, nnd
the detachment of Pullmjn or other
parlor or sleeping coaches from any
railroad train or trains ^hall-Jtot con
st tute any offense against tho la-ws of
the United States.*’
At 10:30 the tariff bill was taken up,
aiul various propositions wen * made
and discussed In an informal way as to
the modo of procedure. Ultimately it
was agreed that the amendments to
which there was no spec al objection
should be voted on in bulk.
Then senators indicated amendments
on which they desired special votes.
Mr. Sherman asked that the entire
wool and .woolen’ »chr*dule bo re
served. and Mr. McLaurln demanded
a separate vote on tho amendment ex
cluding the salaries of the president
and Un ted States Judges from the in
come tax. Separate votes were de
manded by Mr. Kyle on tihe tfugar
schedule; by -Mr. Gnlllnger, ns to hay;
by Mr. Chandler, as to the date when
the bill Is to go tiff to «ffect; also fis ro
borax, lend, iron oie, barbed win*, lead
ore, rice, brandy nnd spirits, wine, silk
and silk goods, lumber, the Income tax
nnd reciprocity.
When ho had tinlshod giving those
notice* Mr. Frye mig,nested humorously
whether it was not. easier Vo reserve tho
whole bill.
For seme time there w:im so much
confusion In the senate chamber that
the vice president made no atleinpt at
transactfng business until order was re
stored.
The prtvlsion us to paper was re
served by Mr. Platt. Mr. Jbnes, for
the finance committee, reserved the sev
eral dates mentioned fer the bill to go
into effect, and also a« to glassware,
plate glass, nuts, luces, waste wool,
ready made clothing, ingrain curpetB,
etc. When the residue of unreserved
amendments adopted in committee of
tho whole were concurred in in bulk
and the amendments ns resrved by Mr.
Jones were all agreed to seriatim, ex
cept those which are still open, then
the'consideration of the amendment re
served by other senators was entered
upon nnd the action of the committee
of the whole was oenfirmed until sugar
was reached.
Mr. Mandcrson moved to strike ou-t
paragraph 182, which repeals the sugar
bounty, and to substitute for It n para-
flprapb to continue until July 1, 1*92, the
bounty on sugar from beet, sorghum,
sugar cane and maple syrup, as pro
vided for In the McKinley act.
Mr, Hill moved to amend the para
graph by striking out the words “Janu
ary J, 1 &W and inserting the words
“to take effect on the passage of thin
act,” so that the repeal of the sugar
bounty shall go into effect Immediately
upon the bill becoming operative. The

Mr. Manderson’* subetitute was then
rejected—yefaa 31, nays 35.
Mr. Kyle moved to strike out the one-
eigth differential given the sugar refill*
errf and the on*-t*nth discriminating

where an export bounty la paid on re-
Amd sug\r. This resolution wan divided
and both propositions In H were re

A SERIOUS LOSS TO GEORGIA
Is CAusert By tbe litg Railroad Strike
Now la Progress In the Northwest
and West—Melons Rolling
In Atlanta*
As a result of tho groat railroad
strike now m the West ami northwest
great loss will, in all probability,' re
sult to tho melon growers of Georgia,
many of whom will bo unable to get
tihdr melons Into market.
It was reliably reported Inst nlgbt
that o\er 100 cars of melons were tied
up in Atlunln, nnd could not bo carried
further. These melon* aro destined for
poluts beyond mid tho outlook is that
they must either remain on the side
tracks in Atlanta and rot or bo carried
to their deMlturtionfl over the East
Tennessee, which Is reported to bo tho
only road running out of Georgia with
oi)ori through transportation to Cincin
nati, Memphis, Louisville and potato
beyond Chicago aud St. Louis. All
other roads are refusing shipments to
these points.
The 100 cars on the sidetracks in At
lanta were shipped om* the Control
aud the Louisville* nnd Nashville nro
said to have n large number of earn
tiled up at Montgomery.
No melons.am l»e taken from any
points beyond tho Ohio and Mississippi
rivers over the East Tennessee, and fill
lines entering Cincinnati aud Louisville
from tlv>o melon growing territory, with,
flic exception of the Quean and Cres
cent,have issued notices that they could
not handle the melons. This has so»
far given the East Tennessee u big
advantage ffvor tilio other linos up to
last night, but ns the strike Is spread
ing, there Is no telling when they, too,
will be shut off. One of tho oincHils
wild last night that they wore nil
right for fuilpriiodtfi so far, and would
let ahlppett* and aroweiu knew, should
tht» strike affect: them. They hnve a
regular fruit train schedule and nop' 1
r.hlpmems direct front ibelr Uuo /
the Queen aud Crescent. /
The Eastern markets are not ub s fe
by the strike up to (ldte, as it liasx •
extended *.n that direction and tho KuX.
TcittienHco is also tnltlug shipments
for the East.
Tho Associated Tress reports Inst
night make the prospect for melon
shipment* from Georgia iipponr gloomy
anu In any event the growers of this
section will loose thousands of dollars
in consequence of the strike, as thoro
un* mmmv h’cMups of tho sta!'' from
which no sfilpmratfl ran bo made nfc
nil, a** long as rite stnixo holds out.
The loss to Georgia will bo great.
