The through passenger train has been resumed, and eaves regularly every day. The Oregon Hallway & Navigation this morning resumed Its freight ser vice, and Is now receiving all light freights offered, no heavy freight being taken on account of having to transfer by water between Cascade Locks and The Dalles and again between Cclllo and Arlington.

All river and steamer freight offered Is being handled by the Oregon Kail way & Navigation, and, notwlthstand- ng Its damaged track by the floods, It is In good shape to do business. The Southern Pacific continues hand ling all local freight and passenger business offered, but no through freight or passengers for points south of Ash land. Its local trains are all running on time, with the strike extra running between Portland and Ashland on the time of the regular express train. A great deal of freight for Portland has been held in the Kust awaiting htpment, and merchants are anxious to have it started. Orders have gone orward today through locul freight men to have much of It shipped at the earliest possible date, and many orders have been sent for light freight goous which ere needed badly to bs sent by express.

As far as can be ascertained, only a few men aro working In the shops. Several hundred who returned to work yester day morning, tearing violence nt the hands of the strikers, did not go near the shops today. Trouble Is feared at Dunsmulr this morning. Division Su perintendent Wright received a dis patch from a railroad official at that place, informing him the strikers were In an ugly mood and requesting that additional troops be sent there. Col onel Graham was notified and a spe cial train with sixty regular on board left for the scene. Information has come to military headquarter to the effect that threats have been made, presumably among friends of Worden, against the life of oung Sherburn, who drove Worden, Hatch and othera over to the treatl where the train was wrecked last Wed nesday.
