The Great Strike is Appear uitly a Thing of the Past, THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Universally Refused to Obey Sovereigns Orders And Quit Their Jobs. Trains L'B line Once More and Every Thing is Again Getting Back to Its Normal Condition. Chicago July 11, — It is reported that when the federal grand jury con da les its investigation of the Ameri can Railway Union it will begin an inquiry into the policy and methods of ihe General Managers' Association Among tiie leaders of the workingmen the charge has been made openly and repeatedly that the obstruction of United States mails and the inter ruption ol interstate commerce were due quite as much to the general managers as to the railway union. It has been stated that the general managers agreed among themselves that no trains should be run on either road till a 1 ! had gained their print ß iu ui ß pute with the men. This was dene, it is argued, to hold back such companies as showed an inclination to treat with its employes and bring about a resumption of traffic on its own lines. It is asserted by the men that they can prove that telegrams were sent out from the General Manageas Asso elation ordering certain railroad.lines to send out no trains till a designated sc. erne had been accomplished. All this, the men assert, is as clear a ease of conspiracy on the art of the Gen eral Managers Association as the acts of Debs and his associates, rendering them indictable for conspiracy. Judge Grosecup and District At torney Milehrist haye said that justice will be meted out impar tially to all violators of the federal statutes. Under a subpoena duces 'tecum the headquarters of the railway union were raided last evening while Debs, Howard, Kelihes an I others were awaiting in the district attorney* s office to complete their bond and all of the official papers of the union that could be found were seized. In the general sweep Deb's personal mail was carried away by the officers from the district attorney's office- Deb* s mail was today returned to him by order of Judge Grosscup who declared the seizure to be illegal BVCXBONE AND NECK BOTH BROKKN. The great railway strike is practi cally «t an-end in Chicago.. Trains on all roads are moving, passenger traits are almost without exception on time, and freight traffic is rapidly becoming regular. ‘ The b*ck of the strike is stot only broken,** said Manager Egan, of the General Managers Association, this afternoon, “but the backbone has en tirely disappeared. The blockade is raised ■and it will require but a short time to get the railroad business of the city into its regular rountine. The Jranta Fe,ran trains regularly in and out of Chicago and the Erie resumed freight traffic, with its pass enger and express trains running on time. The Louisville New Albany and Chicago ran all trains on time all < a , the burned bridge at Hammond , hnvilirr Im/iFI voiAnirnd GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE w having been repaired.

Austin, Tex, July 11.—The strike to take place on Texas rail roads today failed to materialize here, and trains tonight drawing Pullmans left as usual, Talking to prominent railroad men and locomotive engineers here tonight, they say they have no idea the strike in Texas will amount to much • There was some lawlessness last night at Galveston , and Gov ernor Hogg tonight, for tiie benefit ot strikers, made public lowiug: “I hope this strike will not prove serious. Realy, there is no cause lor one. Almost every road in Texas is under contract to draw Pullmans, and if a strike iu Tex as was to prove successful, Pull man will make the roads pay him umtvy damages. The state of Tex as is amply able ai.d will, so long 12 I Cl V tm Sl■/A r- t<> < • ci Vi <1 ■. ,1 as 1 am governor, take a hand against and suppress any man or set of men, who undertake to over throw the law and destroy prop erly, franchises and rights to the protection of which the whole peo ple stand pledged by their state and federal constitutions. Rail roads, railroad tr.-ins, railroad hands and railroad strikers, and all olber people as well, shall have their rights duly protected to the lull extent of the law by local and state authority. It is well for every body to understand this at the outset. The law is supreme in Texas, and will remain so. I ap prehend no serious trouble over the much-talked—of strike in Texas. NO RESPONSE FROM THE SOUTH. Charleston, 8. C., July li.— There is no organization here of the Knights of Labor as far as the public knows, and no attempt to obey Sovereign's order to strike. No labor troubles are apprehended here. Savannah, Ga., July 11. — The only labor organization in Savan nah is the trades assembly, which has taken no recognition of Sov ereigns order. There is no excite ment here and no disposition among laboring men to strike. Montgomery, Ala. July 11. — There is no Knights of Labor or ganization so far as the public knows, consequently Sovereigns order had no effect. Everything is quiet here, Jacksonville, Fla., July 11.— Sovereign's strike order fell flat in Florida. The Knights ot Labor simply ignored it. Sovereign was down here some months ago and announced in a public speech that organized labor in this state was in excellent condition . The labor ' era seem to agree with him, for they manifest no disposition to strike.
