AN ALARMING SITUATION Hails Shut Off and Business Inter fered With-Chicago Provisions Going Tp. Associated Press. Chicago, June 30. The General Man rgers' Association today issued the fol lowing statement regarding ths Btrike . This strike embarrasses the freight traffic of the West to the most serious extent of any strike since the labor troubles in '77 and '78. The companies hava no idtft. of entering Into a com promise with the strikers on any basis whatever. The railroad companies fr.il to see the justice of tho position taken by the American Railway Union of fighting Tullman over t.he heads of the railroad companies who have no con trol over Pullman's movements and his business. The strikers are consid ered as men who have resigned their positions, and who are not anxious to work. Any men who desire employ ment under the railroad companies cen tering in Chicago and are competent will be furnished positions and will be afforded all the protection that lies In the power of the companies, the police of the city of Chicago, the sheriff of Cook county and the state militia. Men are now being hired In the East, and are being brought to Chicago to take the places of the men who will not work. It Is charged by tho American Railway Union that the General Man agers' Association is Importing men from Canada, This statement is ab solutely false. The railroad companies do not proKise to employ any men to take the places of the men now on strika unless such men are American citizens.' At a meeting of the American Rail way Union and the American Federa tion of Labor with tho Brotherhood of Engineers and Firemen, c nductors, trainmen and telegraphers were a;iked to give their assistance. Attorney-General Olr.ey was condemned for his action in reference to the hauling of trains carrying malls as beyond the province of his office. United States Marshal Arrold has re ceived the following reply this after noon from Attorney-General Olney to his telegram In the morning: "You ara authorized to employ suffi cient deputies to prevent the obstruction of mails, and to arrest all persons who may attempt such obstruction." President Debs has Issued orders to tie up tlie Chicago and Calumet ter minal road at 6 o'clock today. Vice-President Howard, of the Amer ican Railway Union, today Issued an order tying up the Milwaukee and St. Paul road In all branches at 6 o'clock this' evening. An order was also Issued to tie up the Big Four at Cairo this afternoon. President Egan, of the Railway Man agers' Association, called on United States Marshal Arnold today for twenty deputies to protect the mail trains. Dis trict Attorney Mllchrlst has telegraphed Attorney-General Olney for Instruc tions. The Post summarizes the strike as follows: Violence has become a feat'i;-3 of the American Railway Union strike on most all the roads centering In Chicago. Pres ident Debs, from headquarters, talks peace, while his men are derailing trains smashing windows, and stoning train men and passengers. The result Is that there is a more complete tie-up than at any time since the strike began. It is no longer a matter of handling trains, but of observing the peace and the sheriff and United States marshal both admit that the situation is critical, and both claim to be doing all in their power to maintain order. Chicago. Tuna SO. There Is a general rise In all perishable goods, owing to tho strike. Lemons, which ordinarily sell for $2.50 a box, were quoted today at $10 a box, while thousands of boxes are rotting between New Orleans and Chicago. Ice, which ordinarily is $.2j a ton, has risen to $10 a ton, and is scarce at that. Strawberries, melons, and all kinds of garden produce, have advnnced in like fashion. Hotels find themselves In a peculiarly unfortunate position. Travel has very generally been cut off, and the price of articles of food is generally Increased. I Chicago, June 30. The tie-up orr the Rock Island road Is almost complete at the Chicago end today. The switch-! men, 3witch tender, and tower tenders' went out almost to a man. The Illinois' Central suburban service Is completely lied up. The engineers and firemen hava refused to take out engines. Chicago, June 30. The engineers and switchmen of the St. Paul road have struck. Tw?nty-five engines and trains' are banked up between the Union depot and Western Avenue. Not a wheel is turning within the city. Indianapolis, June 30. F. P. Sargent, general master of tho Brotherhood of Locomotlvo Firemen, who arrived to day, said: "The firemen will not Join the strikers. The laws of our order prohibit us as an organization from taking any part in this struggle against tho Pullman Company by the American Railway Union, and we shall not be drawn into It. " Mr. Sargent says: "Five frel-Jit trains were tied up this afternoon by the men at Hammond, who held the mall train men on the road. Tho United States marshal was Instructed to arrest them at once." Denver, June 30. The railroad strike1 la spreading rapidly In Colorado. The Colorado Midland branch of the Santa Fe and the Gulf road are completely tied up tonight, and tho Denver and Rio Grande is seriously crippled. The receiver of the Gulf Woad has sent no tice that the road will receive no per ishable freight. On application of the receiver, Judge Hallet Issued a restrain ing order, and United States Marshal Israel sent 200 deputies to Trinidad to servo and enforce the order. SU Louis, June 30. It is stated scml- authorltatively that the general supeiin tendeut of the Burlington system at Chicago lias informed the American Railway Union leaders that if the Pull man Car Company does not consent to arbitrate within twenty-four hours, his road will cease huuling Pullman cars, It Is understood the Mobile and Ohio yielded to the pressure and will resume service without Pullmans. Tacoma, Juno 30. Only one or two local trains have run towday, with no Pullmans. The strikers seem determin ed, although the firemen, conductors and engineers are still ready to take trains out. The railroad officials and Marshal Drake are preparing to act. The latter has sworn in fifty deputies and probably an attempt will be made to start trains to Portland and Seattle thin evening.

' DID Kinney's Cannery With its Con tents Totally Destroyed. THE MANZANITA SCORCHED Loss Abouj 70,000, Oue-llalf In- sured-Sevcral Very Narrow Escapes. Astoria was visited by one of the most costly fires in her history at an early hour yesterday morning. The mammoth packing establishment of the Astoria Packing Company was burned to the ground, and three of its employes narrowly escaped death in the flames. The fire was discovered about 4 o'clock by Quartermaster Hanson, of the steam er Manzanita, who was on watch at the time. He Baw a dense volume of smoke coming over the stern of the veBsel as the lay at her dock .beside the con nery. Ho at first thought it was from an incoming steamer, but as there was no vessel in sight lie ran up on deck and discovered that the smoke came from the east end of the cannery. He at once awakened First Officer Wlllson end then rang" tho fire alarm bell of the steamer. This was the first Inti mation the workmen about the cannery Pad of tho flri, the watchman being at the other end of the building splitting kindlings preparatory to molting a lire under the boiler. Captain Bell, who occupies the rooms over tho olllce n a family residence, was awakened by the Manzanlta's bell and had only time to put on his trowsers before he was driven to the window and compelled to jump to the ground. Fortunately, the captain's family, consisting of two daughters and a son, were visiting or they would surely have been suffocated by the dense smoke. All of Cap tain Bell'B household goods, Including a new $600 piano, and a number of val uable papers, were destroyed. F. M. Bewley, who was also sleeping In the second story of the building, was compelled to Jump to the ground, leav Ing behind his clothing, a gold watch, and a fine clolectlon of documents and curiosities, commenced by him In 1847, and which he regarded as the most val uable part of all his possessions. Gus. Smith, a nephew of Mr. Kinney, was also occupying a sleeping room in tho building, and wps nearly smotllered by the smoke of the burning labels and lacquer varnish. He says that he looked through the partition window of his room and saw fire In the packing room. He attempted to go out to where the fire was, but the smoke drove him back and out of the building. Mr. Smith thinks the fire original d at the first tank in tho lacquer room. Captain Gregory, of the Manzanita, was sleeping or shore, and after the orew had been aroused by the quarter master's alarm and reached their re spective stations. First Officer Wilson took advantage of the ebb tide, and by prompt action and hard work hnd the steamer cut adrift and away from the perilous position, but not before she was well blistered by the heat. Captain Gregory heard the tap of the bell at his home and Immediately started for his vessel. When he arrived the ship was drifting down the river. He was rowed out to her, and took charge at once. He complimented First Officer Wilson and the crew highly on their prompt action and discipline. It was undoubtedly a close call for the trim llttlo steamer, and her many friends and admirers are delighted at her es caps wit so little dumage. Most of the books and papers In the counting room of the cannery were saved, and as Mr. Kinney has two other Idle cannerlos In Uppert.iwn, there will be no stoppage in his business. He expects to go on as though there had been no such thing as a fire like that of yesterday. The loss Is estimated at about $70,000, and Is covered by insur ance to the amount of $50,000. NOTES. Tom Fostor, In fighting tho fire, cut his foot badly on a piece of tin. The Columbine was willing, but the wind would not allow her to get near the fire. Eight thousand cases is the estimated amount of salmon In the building at the time of the fire. There was only $2,500 Insurance held A DISAST1 Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. ABSQiUIELY PURE by our local agents. The balance was placed In San Francisco. Frank Orern, foreman of the Hook and Ladder company, had his head and fiico blistered. A large crowd was soon on hand, and, as usual, was much In the way of the llro fighters. Deputy United Stotes Marshal Stuart had his hand badly burned while help ing to get out tho books. Geo. Kaboth, one of the cannery's fishermen, lost two seines valued at $700. He Intended to take them out yesterday to go on the seining grounds. The fire department performed splen did service, and in spite of the fact that at least twenty minutes was lost on account of the lock of water in the city mains, the machinery and boilers In the west end of the building were saved with Blight damages.

Robert Liddell arrived in our city yesterday, and will today as sume his work as pastor of the First Presbyterian church, having been duly elected to that position by the unani mous vote of oil the members of that church and congregation present at a meeting held on the 13th inst,, and spe cially called to take action on the sub ject of filling their vacant pulpit; The subject of his opening sermon will be "Christian Service," from the 3d chapter of Joshua, 6th verse; "And Joshua said unto the people, sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you." "God's Loving Kindness," will be the theme If his discourse In the evening, and the text, "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness Bhall not depart from thee, neither shull tho covenant of my peace be removed, salth. the Lord that hatll mercy on thee. A cordial Invitation Is extended to the public at large to attend these services, AN AMERICAN SHIP. In relating a trip he recently made down the Thames to witness the Wor cester and Conway boat race, a corres pondent of the Liverpool Journal of Commerce says; Going down we passed an American Bhlp moored in the river, tho City of Philadelphia, one of the very few full-rigged Bulling ships at tho pres ent time belonging to the city after, which she Is named. Her bright yards and masts, her tapering spars with sky sail yard laoft, hy trim hull and neat rig throughout, evoked the enthuslustlo admiration of every seafarer on bourd. Once uiMin a time the docks of Liver pool wero filled with such Bplendld mod els, but since the murine engineer has become all-powerful the American merchant Bhlp has almost utterly dis appeared from tho long-voyago trudes. Four-masted schooners hold their own along the American coast solely In con sequence of protection, and there are vessels of that rig afloat today of a size scarcely credible. The llve-musted schooner Governor Ames, now In our dm kH, is an excellent example of the Iterfeetlon to which this rig can be brought, and all who are able should visit her. NEW CORPORATIONS.
