ItKSUMlTION AT PORTLAND.
Portland, July 18. For the first time
Ince the strike, the Northern Pacific
took out a freight train today. The
company has not yet commenced to
receive freight, however, and that
moved today Is freight received be
fore the strike was on, and which has
been held since that time. 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. The road damaged by
the floods has been repaired from
Bonneville to the Cascade locks, and
trains run, commenting today, as far
east as the locks without transferring.
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.
The Chicago, Kock jstanu i-acwc,
which "laid off" all employes at tne
time the strike was commenced, has
ordered all men in the local offices
hero to ten to work again, the order
being effective today. The local cfTl-
lals have Instructions mat tne emire

TOPF.KA, July 16.-A suit was filed
In the United Stales court today

of the five receivers of the Union Pa
nic, as receivers of the Kansas Pa

this morning. Yesterday crews were
easily obtained, but for some reason,
presumably through fear, only a few
trainmen put In an appearance this
morning, A dozen or more switchmen
who worked yesterday, . quit today.
They claim the strikers waited upon
them last night and threatened to kill
them If they continued In the employ
of the railroad company. 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
