All that is known 1h that the Knights of LaT>or at nil the pntntn h»nrri from. Including nearly all the large centres of population In the United States, remained at work with pr'C'liral unntmity, and that In this city the members of all trad *s who re mained at work so far out-numbered those who quit ns to make no apprecia ble (?hnnre In the industrial appearance of the city. The lowd -rs. however, say that there is nothing in the situation to csiuse 'them discouragement, and that the public, through lack of knowledge of the machinery of industrial organ ization. has been h*d to expect results which were In contemplation when the strike orders were Issued. Mr. Sover eign. for Instance, points out thu-t his appeal wu* not an order to strik**; that, in fact, he had no power to order a w\ilk-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 and district nssembMes had time to meet nnd take formal action on the appeal and to rally their friends outside the order, tb** result would show 1,000.000 of men idle ns a qonsequenee. The local strike leaders aloo claimed thuT a little time was the only neces sary condition to a walk-out of tie* 100,000 men whom they represent, and by Snturdny. after the various sub- orgnnizvtfons had had time to consult •together, the proposed tie-up of busi ness will be fully as effective na they had predicted. ©irrface Indications, however, do not bear out the claims of either Sovereign or of the Chicago men. It is not re corded yet that any district assembly of the Knights of Labor bus voted on the strike. On the other hand, the JjpiYblra district sreesthly. !• , r, | r f.ltlrr. 1-1 I, I * - -1 .||.| ' ' foi» nittir.illy .inti .uppoantly in «ym- qpthy tvlf*i thrlr fvllmv workmen In the Wf«l, it n nins* meeting *ndsy coniine.I their ezprvnrlon of .ympithy to n tend er of flnaneHl aM, but declined to *o en atrike.

He has Invited the head, of other labor organisations to meet him here at that time and the belief Is that bs will strenuously advocate measures to bring the tnoubla lo n end. The groat railroad strike I* practi cally at an end in Chicago. Trains on all roads are moving, passenger trains are, almost without exception, on time and freight traltlo Is raiphlly becoming regular. "The oackoout of the atrike la not only broken." said Manager Eagan of the General Managers Association, this afternoon, "but has entirely disap peared. The blockade is raised and ft wi.l require only a short time to get the railroad business of the city back In Its regular routine.

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 Sc. Paul handled the regular num- oer 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.

Thereupon the following friendly discussion of the mat ter. in Which the officers of the Pull man Company set out fully their rea sons for believing that the question at lesue, which was simply the reopening of their works and carrying them on at a rulnbua lues, was not a proper sub- Jeot for arbitration." Muyoi ilu|/.\!i», wliei iue ivuicitiiCt, would only say: "We are Just where we were before we went. Let them do the talking.". At labor headquarters tonight t was announced that the following unions had struck: Painters. 1,000 men: ma- ohine wood worker,.. 500; planing mill hands, 800; sliver gliders, 340; carriage and wagon makers. 700. it Is said, the labor men say, that 1,000 moulders will strike la the morning. FELL THROUGH A TRESTLE. Spikes Removed. Caused the Train to Go Down, Killing Several Soldiers. Sacramento, Cal., July 11.—The first train to leave Sacramento with troops was ditched 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. The wrecked train waa bound for San Francisco. Regular troops were stationed on the engine and upon each car. Reports of the affair dltter. One is that fishplates had been removed from the rails allowing them to spread, and ithe other la 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 fuur cars went down. There waa no shooting ad the train, as first reported. The killed are Engineer Clark, Private Uurne, Lubbarden and Clark.

Two com- panys of calvary thoroughly eklrmtshed the vicinity afterwards, but made no captures and met with no reautance. The train waa brought back to Sacra mento. 1 he disaster was caused by the ro mavsl of the eplkes from the rail* for n hundred feet. The miscreants had cov ered up their work with *snd.

Ha Apprehends No Trouble In Texas on Account of the strike. Auettn, July 11.—Hie strike to take place on Texas railroads today failed to mate rialise here, and trains tonight drawing Pullmans left as usual. There was some lawlessness lost night at Galveston, and Governor Hogg tonight, for the benefit of the strikers, mads public the 'ollowlnt: "I hope the strike will not become se- rious.

Finally Mr. Blackburn yielded and Mr. UanJd took tho floor. After the reso lution nuu Hit! Mitwiituiv iniu uouxi r«iiu Mr. Daniel said that, on consultation with several senators, both Demo cratic and Republican, he would now offer an addiniomtl clause to bis sub stitute. This additional clause is: That while the senate expkcttly de clares Its dbtenuiuulou to endorse she executive lu the enforcement of the laws and lu imiiottLning the suprem acy of tbe conBtttutiui, It deems it proper also to declare Its udbosloa to the principle of arbitration of diSlctil- tHs uud cuntnuvcrsic.* but,ween the em ployer of labor and the employes, as recognized iu tho laiws of the United States, and to express its condemna tion of the refusal of the puny to such a controversy oouneoted with the late disturbances at Chicago nnd vicinity to submit tho difficulty and controversy to a fair anil impartial arbitration.” Mr. Carey (RepuliKciut) of Wyoming regarded this additional clause os a lessening of the effect of the resolution of yesterday. Mr. Galllugir iReimbllcun) of Now Hampshire explained why lie hud ob jected to having Mr. Dantels’ resolution voted on j-esrerda/. He had not fully comprehended lis terms when It was read and he hod asked fttr * rale Mine to examine it. Ho would cordially vote for the t~> .- il'.ttiviii nnd luneudmcnt pro posal today.

If he bad boon la the President's place he would have done wlut the President did, even if there had been some doubt in his mind as to his consPIluttonal right to do t*i. It was fortunate fur the country that It hatl such a magistrate who had the backbone to do wbut he bad done. He intimated (hat the senator front Vir ginia bad I toon afraht of the resolution and now proposed to throw n sop to those engaged in defying tho laws, committing murder nnd doMtroylng properly. Part of the otiundmcot pro posed n*lay was he said, "a covert condemnation of the Pullman company for refusing to urbltnite. He (Dolpto wanted to know the farts before he expressed nil opinion as to the merits or dennfl-lts of the (sofiosinon.

I would propose to withdraw the second claus- as submitted this morning, and drop all my resolution of yesterday except the first and last par- several Republican senators—That's right. Daniel—The reason why I introduced «h>- subject whs because of the mes sage of the president to congress In ISSd ro-cmmendlng legislation on the subject, and because of the policy of this nation to facllitnte tbe peaceful p'ttlemeot of nil questions; but per ceiving that It would Involve criticism which we arc perhaps nol fully pre- pi rod to mrot, nnd which might do In jury, with the limited Information be fore us, I defer the consideration of that qizition to a more convenient Boston. •Mr. George naked that the presi dent's tneesass to congress In ]*“ en the suhiect of «rb!tmOon be printed In tho Record In oonnentton with this <9 bote, and it was so ordered.
