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: Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. Baltimore and Ohio. Chicago and Western Indians. Chicago. Rock Island.and Pacific. Chioago and Calumet Terminal. Chicago and Grand Trunk. Chicago and Brie. Chicago Great Western. Cincinnati Southern. Chicago and Northwestern. Chicago and Alton, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. PauI.

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.

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. The feeling tonight as expressed by Mr. Olney is one of confidence that the strike is well in hand since Che action In taking out an omnibus injunction was made in -the courts under the trust {Continued on page 1) THE TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE It Has Reached the Last Stago of ’ Consideration in tho Upper branch, HILL HAD HIS WAY ON SUGAR II.

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.

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.

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.
