July 11.—Peace end quiet were maintained throughout the olt/ today. It was o welcome relict Aora the tension of yesterday and especially In view of the fears that had been en tertained that a general tie-up, ordered by the various trades, might result in (tiling the streets with sympathetic strikers and serious disorder being pos sibly provoked. There were fewer white ribbons to be seen today and ten times as many patriotic emblems. Many bonks and other institutions and build ings, not content with hoisting the stars and stripes on their roofs, deco rated their ground floors with lings. Military encampments on the lake front and at the government building at tracted large crowds, hut they were eminently good natured and chatted so cially and with heartiness with the reg ulars that were off duty and mixed with them. At tbe stock yards the blockades were elfeotuaily broken. Business was re sumed on every road, und all was hus tle and bustle in the miles bf pens and along the tracks. The first Incoming nettle train in two weeks steamed into the yard at daybreak, and at 4 o’clock forty cars of live stock were brought in by the Burlington and Quincy, forty by the Northwestern and fifty by the Santa Fe. The military was on guard at every point, but there was no need for its service. For the twenty-four hours ending this evening not a single Are or police iilram was turned in from the district, and Capt. O'Neill, who Is In command at the district, officially re ports that the police are in full com mand of the situation and there ap pears no further use for the troops. At the same tune, any attempt to with draw the latter will be met by general opposition from the packers and other business men. and even if the present condition should continue for several, days to come It was regarded’ necessary to hold the military In reserve. When the federal grand Jury ad journed this afternoon after tw'o ses- ilons occupying In the aggregate about si* hours, Dtotriot Attorney MUchrlst was handed fifteen Indictments that represented the work of the afternoon session. Judge Grosscup, however, had left the court for the day and the in dictments cannot, therefore, be formally rotueiiel till tomorrow. The names of the defendants were not made public, but it Is stated that no prominent labor leaders were involved, but that the bills affected the men. arrested alt Bluo island mil at points on the Pan Handle, Bake Shore and Rock Island tracks who par ticipated In the disorder of last week. Some seventeen men concerned in file burning bf the cars and stoning of trains In the earlier part of She.trouble were brought In by deputy marshals snd an escort of military durihg the pay. but most of the number were re leased on entail ball. United States Marshal Arnold today reduced his force to 300 men. 'These were withdrawn from outlying points where no further necessity exists for their service. The situation tonight la that of an armed truce. The railroad • men by watching every move of their idveraartee say they are satisfied with Uie situation and their policy Is abso lutely "no surrender." The union of ficers and directors also profess to be equally satisfied and adopt the same motto. Each side Is waiting for the other one’s move, while the public also Is waiting and wondering h«w long this ' condition of affairs can possibly con tinue. Meanwhile, witfl a sufficient force of military to command the situ ation. Immunity from serious riot or dis order may be regarded as absolutely assured. The General Managers’ Association has quit hiring men. More men than are needed have already been employed, lo General Manager Egan claims, and this morning he wired to all points In tha United States whore branch em- Payment agencies bad been established closing them. The number of men em ployed by the association has reached Into the thousands. It Is asld that the Northwestern has a complete outfit bf w rk men . OM onea having quit GfcT AFTER THE MANAGERS. Chicago, Ju.y 11.—It Is reported that when the Federal grand Jury concludes glta Investigation or the American Rail way Union K will begin an Inquiry’ Into th» policy und method* of the General Manager,’ Association.. Tlie charge has been made oueniy and re peatedly among the leaders of the workingmen that the obstruction of the United States mills und the inter ruption of interstate commerce was due quite to the general minuter* us to the Railway Union. It lias been stared that the general managers agreed among themselves that, no •rains should be run on any road until oil had gained their points in dispute. This was done, It Is argued, to hold back such companies w showed an in clination to treat with their employee and bring about n resumption, of traf fic on their own line,. It I, asserted by the men that they can prove flat '•■terrains were sent out from the <>?n«rai Managers’ Association order ly, c * rtaln railroads to send out -ho •rains till a designated scheme hid been accomplished. All the men nesert •J**t it is a ck-nr case of conspiracy on Pjb.Wvt Oft he General Managers’ As sociation to render Debs and his usro. “ato? indlotabKfor conspiracy. nev w..1 r ?“ c S' JD and District Alter- SjJMHcbrist have said that Justice m *f'd out Impart hilly to all t-nu** °* Federal statutes. ender a subpoena duces tecum the thESPiS*** 1 the American RUfiwtj X n l’“ were ral.y-1 last evening whlll «owtrd.

In the geneat sweep Debs’ personal mail Was carried away by the officers. Debs’ mall was today returnedt o him by order of Judge Groswcup, who declared the seizure to be Illegal. The statutes under which the lnrlct- mervls were yesterday found against Debs and others provide, in addition to a fine ranging from 11,000 to 110,000, imprisonment under one statute for not less than si* months nor more than twenty years, and under another lm- prbomeut of not less than six months nor more than six years. Judge Grosscup, when questioned on the possible action of the grand Jury against the General Managers’ Associ ate. said: “I have no doubt tlr.it when tbe grand Jury shall have finished the particular matter It is now Investigat ing It will turn Its attention to others who may have violated the law. It will widen the scope of Its inquiry so as to Include an persons who rrfay have in terfered with or Obstructed Interstate commerce or the United Stales mails lit any manner or by any means," “Will you give the grand Jury addi tional instructions on that point?" "I cannot do so on that point now. I will do whatever is necessary to enable the grand Jury to do Its full duty. But the lbbor men huve little filtji In n special grand Jury. They insist In their opinion that the grand Jury ngs drawn, but to return indictments against the Ans-rican Railway Union men and all their sympathizers.” Tlie ultimate effect of the special is sued last night by Grand Master Work man Sovereign of tjve Knights or Labor calling on nil Knights throughout the country aud those in sympathy with them to quit work, nnd the order Issued at about tihe same time by the repre- sentiaves of the allied labor crafts m Chicago to do likewise, cannot yet be certainly foreseen. All that if known Is that the Knights of Lalior al nil the points heard from, including nearly all the large centres of population in the United States, remained at work with practical unnimity, and that in this city the members of all trades who re mained at- work so fur oul-numbered those who quit us to make tfo apprecia ble change In the Industrial appearance of the city. The lenders, however, say that there Is nothing In the situation to cause 'them discouragement, and-that the public, through lack of knowledge of the machinery of industrial organ ization, has been led to expect results which were In contemplation when the strike orders were issued. Mr. Sover eign, for distance, points out that his appeal wtis not an order to strike; that. In fact, lie had no power to order a walk-out. but that the persons ac quainted with the workings of the or ganization would know that in effect It would be the'same as an order. In short, he wus perfectly confident that by Saturday next, after various local iind district assemblies had time to meet nnd take formal action on the appeal and to rally-their friends outage the order, the result would show 1.000,000 of men Idle as a’consequence. The local strike leaders nBo claimed that a little time was the only neces sary condition to a; walk-out or th- 100,000 men whom they represent, and by Saturday, after the various sub- orgenlzmions hud had time tq consult together' Ith’e proposed tie-up lof busi ness will be fully as effective :\3 they hart predicted. Surface indications, however, do not bear out the claims of cither Sovereign or of the Chicago men. It is not re forded yet that any district assembly of file Knights of Labor bus voted on tile strike. On the other hand, the Brooklyn district assembly, which Is ,composed of railroad men, and there for* naturally and supposedly In sym- tlptliy with their fellow workmen 111 tha ■West, qt u mass meeting today confined their expression of sympathy to a tend er of .financial aid, but declined to go on strike. Several other local orgnnl- zi lions, members of the federated Trades, have given it to be understood that they do not intend to go out. Fur thermore, It Is known that there was a large conservative element among the representatives of the trades meeting which passed the resolution having the strike in view, who, *t t* understood, have been earnestly nt work ever since to minimize ith© result of that action. In the meantime Improvement con tlnues 10 the railroad situation nnd elsewhere, except at Sacramento nnd Oakland, Cal. At the former place the Fed ml troops were landed this morn- iris, but the stale militia stUtloned' bn file wHter front to cover their landing were fired on from airtbush after the regulars had moved nway, snd a train, which it was sought to send to Ran Francisco under gunrd of the* govem- nnd fired into by the strikers, resulting ment troops was thrown from n trestle In the death of one of the onginrnen and the wounding of ono of the sol diers. Tne general public, as well os organ ized labor. Is looking forward with marked Interest to the meeting of the executive board of the American Fed eration of Labor, perhaps the most powerful organization m tlie country, in nils city tomorrow, and its action Is expected to have a marked effect outside of the Industrial struggle. It Is known that the position of. Samuel Compels, Its president, has been one of opposition" to a sympathetic strike of Federation men at this time and that he looks on the existing situation as critical. He has invited the heads of other labor organizations to meet him here at that time and the belief is that he will strenuously advocate measures to bring the trouble to a end. The great rairoad strike Is practi cally at an end in Chicago, Trains on all roads are moving, passenger tralnH are, almost without exception, on Urns sad freight trafflo to rapidly becoming regular. • “The backbone of the strike Is not only broken,” said Manager Hagan of the General Managers Association, this afternoon, "but bos entirely disap peared. The blockade U raised and 9t will require only a short time to get tlie railroad business of the .city back In its regular routine. On the Chica go and Grand Trunk, passenger service Is regularand freight in tbe iuburtufn service was resumed today. The Wa bash ran local freights and part of its subuiban train in addition to the thor ough passenger service, and the Mich igan Cen tral moved a mass of merchan dise which had accumulated at Michi gan City. The Wisconsin Central re ported both freight and passenger trains running on lime, and the Chi cago and Northern Pacific announced that all day light tralna were running regularly, although the night service has not been resumed. The Santa Fe rau trains regularly In and out of Chi cago and the Erie resumed freight trattlc, with its passenger and ‘erpress trains running. The Louisville, New Albany and Chicago ran tall trains on time today.the burned bridge alt Ham mond having beeen repaired. On tbe Chicago Great Western all passenger and freight traffic, as well as yard work, was handled regularly_and the Chicago and Alton reported all trains on'the entire road running without in terruption. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois experienced no trouble, except a demonstrative crowd St Brazil, Ind. The Illinois Central .bad 190 loaded cars of Inbound freight today, and Its thorough passenger service was regu lar. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy-handled several freight and slock trafhs today, and Its pafifenger and eurburban trains were all on time. On the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi cago all passenger trains ran regularly and freight moved more freely. The Pan Handle moved freight freely and reported its passenger service uninter rupted; and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul handled the regular num ber of freight, passenger and suburban trains. The 'Lake Shore and Michigan Southern announced that, owing to the strike, it had suspended the reception from Washington connections of per ishable freight and live stock.” PULLMAN WON’T ARBITRATE. Chicago. July 11.—Mayor Hopkins. Mayor Plngree of Detroit and Ereklne M. Phelps of Chicago had a two hours' omference this evening with Vice Pres ident Wlckes, General Solicitor Runnels and Oeneral Manager Brown of the Pull man Company at Mr. Whike's office. Mayor Pingree's telegram urging arbi tration was strongly urged. The con ference was held behind closed doors. Pullman promised to give a verbal re port to the newspapers. The report as given them is as follows: "Mayor Plngree of Detroit, accompa nied by Mayor Hbpklns and Mr. Bra king Phelps of Chicago, called at the Pullman offices and gullmjeted to. the, officials of the Pullman Company tele-i grams Mayor Plngree had received from the mayors of other cities upon the question of arbitration. Thereupon- the following friendly discussion of the mat ter. In which tne officera of the Pull 4 man Company set out fully their rea sons for believing that tlie question ut issue, Which was simply ihe reopening of their works and carrying them on u't a ruitibus loss, was uot a proper sub ject for arbitration,!** Mayor Hopkins, after the conference, would only say: "We are Just u-here we were before we went. Let them do the talking." At labor headquarters tonight t was announced that the foiluwhig unions had struck: Painters. 1,000 men; nia- uhine wood workers. 500; planing mill hands, S00; silver gliders, 340[ carrlagb artd wagon makers, 700.

Spikes Removed, Caused the Train to, Go Dotwn, Killing Several Soldleri; THE STRIKE UP IN THE SENATE Mr. Dai)ial Introduced a Resolution Fa voring tha Arbitration of Disputes and Condemning Pullman. BUT WITHDREW IT BY REQUEST Tha Prompt and Vlgoruui Action by the Prealdout In Pulling Down Blob Violence Was Xudoned by , tbe Sennit. ■Sacramento, Cal., July U.-The .first train to leave Sacramento with troops was dltohed on a 'trestle eight miles from Washington, Yolee county. En gineer Clark was killed* and a soldier was drowned.’ Another soldier was dangerously injured. Two soldiers are missing. Tbe wrecked train was hound for San Francisco. Regular troops were stationed on the engine and upon each car. Reports of the affair differ. One is that fishplates had been removed from 'the rails allowing them to spread, and ithe other 1b that the timbers of the trestle had been sawed nearly through, causing the trestle to collapse under 'the weight of the train. The engine and four cars went down. There was no shooting at the train, as first reported. The killed are Engineer Clark, Private Burns, LuWbarden and Clark. Private Dugan lost both arms and Is liable 40 die. All belong to Bal- ffty L, Fifth'-'Artillery.' Private Clark was drowned. The others were crushed in the wreck. Another private named Smith is missing. The disaster occurred only a short distance from Sacramento. Two com- panys of calvary thoroughly skirmished the vlqlnity afterwards, but made no captures and mat with no resistance. The train was ^brought back to Sacra mento. • The disaster was caused by the ro mavnl of <the spikes from the rail* for a hundred feet. The miscreants had cov ered up their work with sand. While tho Train was being made up utnkzrs lti the crowds around the yard ware loud in their prediction* that the train would never reach Oakland, and as It ■noted toward the brldge-.lt war .greet ed with shouts, yells and ounses. Thu scene of the wreck 13 opty two miles from Sacramento, bn the Yoloe side of the river. The soldiers arc savagely bitter over the outrage and If tliqy ure tailed upon to meg die strikera iu conflict there will be none of tlie patient endurance of abuse that bus characterized their conduct elsewhere Iu dialling with mobs. The strikers have been captured who arc suspected of knowing nil a 1 tout tbe loosened rail. Tbe strike lenders aro busy repudiating the net, which they ear wus not tile work of the strikers, and they recount all the precautions they have token to prevent violence. Soldiers tonlglu arc raiding various veelion* of the dly In a hunt for tho stflkCtW with ninns. They have found ninny guns nnd other weipuns and, what '« more of a disappointment than anything else to (ham. Is that they have hot been resisted. GOVERNOR HOUO 18 FIRM. Ha Apprehends No Trouble In Texas on Account of ths Strike. Austin,' July 11.—The strike to take place on Texas railroads today failed to mate rialize here, and'trains tonight drawing Pullmans left aa.uaual. There was some lawlessness hut night at Galveston, and Governor liogg. tonight, for the benefit of Uie strikers, nude public the 'ollowlng: "I hope the gYrlke will not become se rious. Really, there Is no cauee for one. Almost every road In Texas 's under contract to draw -Pullmans, and If a strike' In Texas was successful Pullmnl will make the rood* pay him heavy dam- agee. ' The Mate of Texas Is amply able and will, co long as I am governor, take a hand agninit and suppress any man or set of men who undertake to overthrow the law and destroy property franchises and rights to the protection of which ise whole pcple stand pledged by. their stats and the federal constitution. Railroads, railroad trains, railroad hands and rail road strikers, and all other people as well, shall have their lights duly pro- eected to the full extent of the hew by local and state authority. It is well for everybody to understand this st the out set. The law Is supreme In Texas and sill remain eo.

After tine reso- luthm and tlirfsubstitute had been road Mr. Daniel slid that, on consultation with ueveral’ jouaitoni, both Demo cratic and ICejlublluiu, ho would now offer un iiilillU 'iiial clause to his sub stitute.
