The Burllng- ton, which employs non-union men, is about the only Chicago road not af-' fected. A new difficulty has been pre- sented by the refusal of engineers and firemen to risk their lives with green hands, and railway managers are ex ceedingly fearful of precipitating a bat tle on the Fourth of July, and will make no serious effort to move trains before Thursday ' morning. , Said one today, It will not be long before the incon venlence resulting from the suspension will be keenly felt everywhere, and then W C UC1II7VC jjuunt. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1- .1 iji ii .nivm;u '.''

Master Workman Lindholm, chief of hfe Knights of Labor in Cook county, in conference with the! leaders of the American Railway Union today, said: "We are all ready to strike when asked. The knights of Labor are heart and soul with the American Rail- way Union." The firemen on the Rock Island were instructed today not to work with non union men. The Illinois Central en gineers passeJ resolutions indorsing the regiments of staie militia under orders strike. to prceed to that point; with six com- panlM of United States Infintry enroute Chicago, July 3.

Chicaso, July 3. Chief United States Marshal Donnelly said today that moRt of the men who appeared at his office to be made Into deputy marshals were sent there by the strikers. "There were 200 men sent here this morning by the managers of the strike," he said. "It was useless for us to keep on with the business of swearing deputies, for near ly the whole supply was coming from the ranks (if the strikers." Chicago, July 8. There Is but one dav's BUDnly of Ice in Ohlrairo. An ire famine is imminent, and Is one of the most! serious results of the tie-up of the railroads, more serious than the threat enjd famine In fruits, vegetables, butter, eggs and similar goods. The strike has practically killed all action In the rail road offices, jftnd every road running Into Chicago is Tnaking large reductions in the ofllce force. t( Washingtn, July 3. The cabinet ses sion began at U o'clock today. Secre tary Morton, Secretary Smith, and Sec retary Carlisle were absent. The great strike was the .topic of discussion, and every phase, of the situation was care fully canvassed.' r The secretary of wur perfected, for meeting any emergency that might '.iii'lse, and they were ap proved. Ho also reviewed the Instruc tions that had been given Gen. Miles prior to his depfif ture for Chicago. It is understood Cfc-ri. Miles' return to his headquarters was hastened by the In timation of.; the department that his presence at Chicago was desirable at this juncture. It is not Intended to allow hla troops to act at the whim of any deputy marshal who might lose his head in the face of danger, and therefore, while assisting the' execution , judical pr0cess, troops will be kept strictly under military command In the flrel) instance, and secondly under the control of the president. The command- jng officers, of troops employed are dl- rectly responsible to their military su- perlors. Any unlawful or unauthorized act on thelwpart will not be excusable, tin IhM-pmnnd nf nn nrripr nr rAnnpftf received by them from the marshal or other civil officer. From the above it can be seen how carefully army officers must proceed, In acting, and the necessity that they are under waiting orders from the pres ident before taking the field. So far the enforce the faithful execution of the present attitude of the strikers is In merce between the states. , B.J,mt,t.tft. t,.,v .shortlv after 2 . .... , Htl,tw.

As the engine pulled Into the depot, one of the strikers hurled a rock at the engineer, but missed him. In an Instant a howl ing mob was around the engine, and seizing Baldwin, pulled him from the cab. He was thea knocked down, but instantly regained his feat and pulled his revolvers. Polntln? them at the strikers he called upon them In the name of the United States to disperse and go home. His advice was greeted with hisses, and cries of "Kill him," came from a. thousand throats. Imme diately a half dozen strikers seized his limbs and prevented him from using his revolvers. Several of the rioters struck him with their clenched fists and also excitement a rioter whom he attempted to arrest escaped. Baldwin has called nn Governor Markham for the militia. A howling mob is in possession of the dopot. The police and deputy marshal! are powerless and have given up the struggle. The eastern overland which was to go to San Francisco this after- noon was cut In two by the strikers and the Pullman coaches run out of the de- pot. San Francisco, July 3. With rioting in progress at Sacramento, and three whol-s people of California are in me midst of great excitement. Such events as the railroad strike has developed have heretofore been unknown in Cal Iforiiliu Tonight the tie-up on the South ern Pacinc and Santa Fe systems Is as complete as at any time during the flvf days since the blockade was instituted and owing to the disturbances that havi arisen, the situation is graver than it has been at any time heretofore. At Oakland, notwithstanding strong police patrol, the strikers became riotous to day and seized two trains. They also took possession of the station and rail road yards at Sixteenth street. One conductor who attempted to run his train past Sixteenth street was badly beaten. The police were unable to cope with the rioters. Six companies of United States lnfan. try who were called into action and ordered to Los Angeles are stalled at Bakerfield, this side of the Mojave des ert, and it Is not known how they can be transported over the Tehachapl grade and desert. When the train arrived at Bakersfleld at 12:20 this afternoon, the engineer deserted. New York, July 3. There seems to be no desire on the part of the holders of the shares of railroads affected by the strike to soeriflco them, and under the circumstances, it is remarkable with what firmness the grangers and trunk lines are held. Wall street appears to look upon the defeat of the strikers as a certainty, owing to the lack ef justice In their cause. The London market has reflected the confidence of foreign holders In the stability of values. Portland, July 3. Trie strike today extended to the Southern Pacific local trains. The Westalde train from Mc Mlnnvllle arrived this afternoon, but aside from this, no trains arrived or left over that line.- The Northern Paci fic sent out a train for Tacoma at 12:35 today, and one arrived at 9 tonight from Tacoma with a Pullman attached. The engine wes manned by a non-union en gineer arid fireman. The Southern Pa cific expects to resume local service to morrow. Malls for the north were dlB pa tched from San Francisco by the steamer State of California, Washington, July 3. Postmaster Gen eral Blssell today had a consultation with Superintendent White, of the rail way malt service. The hemmed in con dition of the postal service in Californlt Is looked upon as exceedingly serious, and steps are being taken to offset the trouble by steamer transportation along the coast. ' ' . Pasadena, Cal., July 3. GoV. Mark ham has Instructed Major General Dl mond to send troops from San Francisco to Sacramento and use his own discre tion as to the number necessary. The governor is in Constant communication with the militia officers all over the state. He considers the situation grave. Los Angeles, July 3. Subpoenas have been Issued from the United States court requiring the local managers of the telegraph companies to appear be fore the United Slates grand Jury and produce the telegrams that passed he tween Debs and the leaders In the strike In this city. Seattle, July 8. There is scarcely a sign of a strike here. Traffic Ib going on regularly over the Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern. Trains on the Se attle and Lake Shore run as regularly, as their connections will allow. San Bernardino, Cal., July 3. Word has been received of the burning of tie bridges on the Atlantic) and Pacific In this county near The Needles, and the fear Is entertained that the shops and rounlhouse will be destroyed. Bloomlngton, 111., July 3. There are five passenger trains on the Chicago and Alton lying on the side track at the Union depot. Six hunderd passengers are here, and there are many cases of great hardship. St. Louis, July 3. The Btrike Bltuatlon In the territory tributary to St. Louis Is decidedly worse today.

Crof'.on, of Chicago, have beer ordered to prepare to move. The garrison consists of eight companies. Highest of all in Leavening rower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report 1 : aesoiuielv pars TUB KEY NOTE. Duty of the Government and the Rights of Citizens. Mr. E. S. Conway, of the great Kim ball factories, of Chicago, passed through our city on the steamship Col umbia en route to California yeBterday, and the following interview was had with him in regard to the labor troubles of the country: "What do you think will be the out come of the present Btrugglo between capital and labor, Mr. Conway?" "To begin with, I do not consider It Is a question of a struggle between capital and labor at all, and I am not satisfied with the view taken of the situation by our statesmen. The facts are, it Is labor versus labor, and the question to be de termined Is, whether or not an Ameri car. laborer is entitled to the protection of the law." "In whet manner would you pro tect labor?" "Answering your question, I would sty: First, It Is every man's privilege whether a member of a union or not, to quit his Job and seek employment else where or remain idle, and It Is equally the privilege of the unemployed to at once take the place vacated, and tho latter, as an American citizen, Is, in my Judgment, entitled both morally and le gally to be protected by the law "and to bo allowed to pursuo his work un molested, and whenever Interfered with It becomes the duty of the federal gov ernment to protect him. If It requires the whole federal army to do bo, In the performance of his dully toll, and until the situation Is viewed in this light we will have social revolution and audacity ' Instead of law and order," "What ore your grounds for believing that the federal government is culled on to protect the citizens, of the different stotes?" , "The protection of Atierlcun labor and also of capital is interstate, and if the federal government as Buch has an obligation to perform that should bo considered sacred, 'it is the protection of Its own citizens wherever found, li their lives and property, and In the peaceful enjoyment of their rights nnil liberties as guaranteed by the constitu tion. Why, the fundamental principle of our government is the protection of Its citizens, and if this protection is left to states, one state might enforce the law" and enable its subjects to work or remain Idle, protec ting them In . each condition so longi as they remained amenable to the law, while, as lu the present Instance, a sister Btate might be in a state of anarchy and riot, thus frustrating the ends of justice and de priving thj law-enforcing state of lt interstate relations. In Bhort, I, hold It Is the Imperative duty of the American government to protect each and every one of Its citizens whether laborer or capitalist, In the enjoyment of life, lib erty and property, to the fullest extent under the law, and when a man or a Bet of men, whether by force or Intimi dation, undertake to compel an Ameri can citizen to vacate his employment he Bhoultl be protected and the offender vigorously and summarily punished. Until this course is adopted by the fed eral government we may rest assured that confidence will not ba restored mid that American labor will continue to suffer, not only as It Is today, but to a degree ten-foJd worse." "Then you hold that these labor trou bles are a greater detriment to labor l.nan to capital?" "Certainly. It Is a serious mlstuke when the so-called friends of labor im agine they are adding to the happiness of tho laborer by allowing one portion to lie law breakers to the extent of the enforced Idleness of the other portion, and the enforced withdrawal of capital from its legitimate channels of trade and enterprise." "What couise could the federal gov ernment. In your judgments pursue which would speedily and effectually settle these labor troubles?" "My Idea Is that the federal govern ment should guarantee the fulleHt pro tection to every citizen in the discharge of his dully pursuits, and when a Biib jeet Is Interfered with by local mob while engaged In the legitimate perform ance of his dally labor, that such affend ers should be taken Into custody by. the federal government, and be promptly and severely dealt with. If this policy were adopted and enforced by the fed eral government and every American citizen were assured he would receive tho full protection guaranteed him un der tho conHtitutlon, all positions va cated for any cause could and would be promptly filled end tho great losses to labor and capital and the immlyzatlon of commerce and trade would be a thing of the past forever. It is a para dox to talk about this being a govern ment, If It will not promptly and vig orously protwt Its citizens at home or abroad, whether they be laborers or capitalists.
