Tire fight occurred at the Intersection of 49th street. The Grand Trunk tracks fantry start tonight west on the over are In a territory which has always hadj lund train on the Northern Pacific from n evil name. Serious trouble was. ex- St. Paul. uprU-d here early tills morning. Before; pecnu iicic ' r,i mll,ie 9 o'clock a mob had gathered-end maae threats of burning tne uranu ii roundhouse. Company C, of the Second - . o nnmrnnndwl by Infontry, 68 strong, commanded ty, Capt. Maher, was hurriedly -sent to tne( scene ' The militiamen were relnforcedi hv a number of deputies, and the mob Dy a numuci . was pressed back from the roununouse. The mob gathered again at 60th street, ond hmin o turn over freight cars ana tear up the tracks. A squad of poller, under Lieut. Duffy, attacked the mob and several shots were fired on both k.,t ,n nrta tuna InlllVpfl. The mOb ' ' . . . .n.u atro.. I then went back once core to 49th stree.,( and while a portian of them, which wtus by this time fully 8,000 strong, occupied ' ..... I the militia and depvues, tne oiners ran me ni"" " v , a freight car Into the pit of the turn- table and made the machine useless.j Captain Maher conferred with Superln- tendent Atwater, and concluded It was impracticable to c:ear the track and that as the mob was growing wilder every moment, the best thing to do was to leave the place before the strikers pro ceeded to such extremities as would ne cessitate; his .openlngi flljel on them. Finally several toughs made a rush at Yardmaster McKee, one of them flour ishing a revolver. McKee drew hlB own revolver and fired, but the bullet ilew wide. The strikers by this time were fairly wild with rage, and bricks, stone. chunks of ccal, and coupling pins rained around the troops. Lieut. Reed was truck on the head and fell to the A 1.1,0 . mn Maher then concluded the time had come, and wheel Ing his men quickly, gave the word to charge, and a handfull of militiamen sprung forward with levelled bayonets. John Burke, who was standing In front of the mob, was throwing coal as fast as he could move his arm. One of the first soldiers In the charge plunged his bayonet clear through his body, the point coming out at the back. Burke went down like a log, and died In a few minutes. The mob broke before the charge, but quickly rallied and after a short pause, came on again, sending a pattering of revolver bullets before it. The' troops waited for no orders, but the rifles came to a level and revolvers were drawn and a storm of leaden hall swept into the mob. Men fell right and left, but the militia, deputies and police pressed forward, rapidly driving the crowd back in the wildest confusion. It was all over In three minutes, and the militia marched Into a train end with the deputies returned to the city. They looked as though they had been through a battle wlien they disembarked.. "I believe," eald Supt. Atwater, "that at least a dozen men were killed." At KiiKlewoxl several hundred rioters Jeered the soldiers and police, and final ly fired several shots. The tin was re turned by two or three officers, and a charge was ordered, which temporarily dispersed the mob. The number of cars on the Panhnndle road burned last night la estimated at frm 1200 to 1500. The total loss will not be less than $1,000,000. Ten or twelve miles of track are ruined. It Is Impos sible to place a value on the freight destroyed. The rioting, firing of cars and the de struction of property continues. The police "fired on a mob at 64th street yards, and one man was wounded. United States Marshal Arnold and General Miles, after a consultation de cided to send troops to all' the roads which are tied, up and clear the rtacks and yards. The play is to send one company of troops to each depot along with forty deputy marshals. Trains will then be started oub on each rood aiftl the military and marshals will clear the yards and tracks of the crowds. The soldiers will have orders" to fire upon any one who disobeys orders to leave the railroad property. THE LAST DISPATCH. Chicago, July 8. At 1:43 a. m.

THE VIGILANT AGAIN BEATEN. Hunters' Quay, July 7. The yiflit ta'-e to-lay was won by the Hrltnnnlii. beating the VlKilatit one minute nnd fifty-flva seconds. A The,. Ground Now Patrolled by Police and Troops GENERAL MILES IN EARNEST. The Situation iu California-South-ern Pacific Locals Ordered t 'Carry the Jlafla. Associated Press. Chicago, July 7. "And It Is further or dered that Is any act of hostility be com mitted, such as firing upon railroad trains, assaulting trainmen, marshals, or soldiers, throwing ' at them rocks, pieces of Iron or other missiles, these assaults shall bo repelled by the use of firearms." So wrote General Nelson A. Miles in his order iseued this afternoon detail ing federal troops to assist the United States marshals In preventing obstruc tion to the movement of mail and Inter state commerce trains. It was In short, a notice to all rioters that temporizing with them had ceased, and that here after the policy of the government would be to put an end to their rioting, aison and pillage by shooting to Mil whenever or wherever necessary. As chance would have It, however, It did not fall to the lot of national troops to be first to carry out the special order. Company C, Second Regiment I. N. G., hud that distinction. Up to 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day had been compar atively quiet. To be sure, small mobs had been going through the district west of State street, and south of 39th, burning a few cars here and there, and making threats of firing railroad shops nnd the like, and the battle was more in the nature of bushwhacking than any thing else, and not at all like the massed band of strikers who gathered along the railroad tracks yesterday, blocking all movement By sheer force of numbers, This state of affairs was doubtless the outgrowth of various conditions, such as the presence of a" vastly Increased force 'of soldiers apd that ycst'M day's wretVlng and firing of cars loft a large share of the tracks to the south Impassi ble, so that about all the discernible movement was In the shape of wreck ing trains endeavoring to bring order out of the chaos which exists all through that region. The disturbed section to day embraced a space of about' twenty- five square "miles, not to mention a sporadic bit of incendiarism on the Bur lington road at Crawford and. Western avenue, the latter having the distinoUon of being the work of women and chil dren. It is stated that in the, district mentioned not less than 60,000 ric-ers were out at one time or another during the day. But the ground was so thor ovghly patrolled by police, the marshals and the military that they found little opportunity for getting together In such large numbers as they have been doing heretofore. Still, some of them at the stock yards found time for indulging In the grim humor of laying out a grave yard in due order and erecting head stones at the graves bearing the names of pet aversions. Including the presi dent of the United States.; One feature of the day was the showing of its teeth by the building trades council of the city In calling out the Rteamfltters In the big packing houses at the stock yards with a threat that It was merely preliminary to calling out Its 65,000 mem bers and tying up all the buildings In the city. Another feature of the day was the patrolling of sentries before the federal sub-treasury In whose vaults He some $15,000,000 of Uncle Sam's money, which General Miles thought mlRht prove a, temptation to some of Debs' followers. For the first time since the sti'lko opened, there were several distinct no tices of Improvement in the situation, and these were not confined to Chicago. Here the postal authorities have re ported a noticeable Improvement In the movement of malls. - Outside of Chicago it was noted that the strike, while It made no progress worthy of mention at any point, gave many evidences of hav ing reached Its culmination and of fall ing li fluence. To begin with, the prom ise that the seaboard trunk lines would be tied up at Buffalo wa not fulfilled. The strike was not extended to Pitts burg as predicted; but most significant Highest of all in Leavening Tower. AESOIUJI 1 i of all, perhaps, was the refusal of tlio Amoilcan Railway Union at Lou!"vl!l' Colorado Springs, and Denver to obey Debs' order to strike. The friends of law and order hnd occasion to lie pleased on account of - the 'mossing of troops here, and at the ordering of tho move ment of trooil by the president with a view of lifting the embargo on Pacific coast business, both by the northern and central routes. Against this, the'only force which the managera of the strike were able to show was an arrangement between President Debs and Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, to call out the members of .thnt organization, some 150,000 In number, provided the other four members of the executive committee would agree to tin order calling them out. It is estimated that Debs now has about 75,000 men. There has been a rift In the cloud, but the cloud is still here. RAILORADS ARE POST ROADS. The Southern Pacific Must Carry Malls on Locals. Los Angeles, July 7. This afternoon the following was Issued to chief clerk, J, M. Johnson, of the railway mall ser vice, by United States District Attorney Dennis, In view of the fact that there Is some complaint that the Southern Pa cific is not making a proper effort to transport the mulls: - "You will Immediately notify the proper officials of the Southern Pacific lihat they are required to iniiiHport the malls of the United States upon ull local trains running out of San Fran cisco and Oakland, and that Buch trains are expected to be run in a reasonable manner, and as often as the ordinary business of commerce requires. "Your attention is further called to Section 34, Revised Statutes, making all the railroads post roads of the Unlteii States. It may be Impracticable for the comany to operate trains carrying Pullman cars at the present time, but this does not excuse Uie company from carrying the mails of the United States on all other trains." In explanation of the above letter. Denis wild: "Through trains require for the com fort and accommodation of passengers sleeping cars, and these trains are mull trains of the United States, and under the law are to be protected; that Iik'mI trains not carrying such cars are also mall trains of the United tSateu, und It Is the duty of the railroad companies to carry mails upon all these trains. If for any reason it is Impracticable for the railroad at any time to carry through trains with sleeping cars, they are not excused for not runnlntr local trains carrying malls. IN CALIFORNIA. . The Blockade Raised In Loe Angeles but Not Elsewhere. San Francisco, July 7. The only new feature of the railroad situation In Cali fornia tonight Is the raising of the block ade at Los Angeles, where the local trains began running this morning on the Southern ToelUc and Santa Fe, and from which point the overland was dis patched east on, tho Banta Fe route. In Northern California the blockade Is moro. complete tonight than It has been at any time since the Inception of the trouble. Out of Oakland or San Francisco not a train Is running, the riotous demonstrations at San Jose hav ing tied up even the coast division of the Southern Pacific and made It useless for the comiany to dispatch any tnilns from this city. At Sacramento there has been no further trouble, neither tho United States marshal nor militia hav ing made any effort since the riots of Wednesday to asist the company In moving trains. Tho Southern Pacific managers have apparently thrown up the .sponge until some settlement of the trouble shall be arrived at in the East. The strikers at Sacramento are as determined as ever. PREPARING TO FIGHT. 1 Oakland, July 7. If United States troos are Bent to Oakland there will surely lie a fight. Today, when It was reported that the soldiers were coming, the Woman's Sympathetic League, com posed of the wives and relatives of the strikers, held a meeting and made ar rangements to turn the Bartlett Hall Into a hosMtal. When the news came from Chicago that men had been killed, the women were In session. One of them moved that they pruy for their own, and every woman In the hull knelt In silent prayer. AT SAINT LOUIS. St. Louis, July 7. A mob of two hundred surrounded the Walxu-th jas senger train last night and drove the crew from the train. Warr.ints havo been Issued for the arrest of the entire, mob. NO CHANGE AT PORTLAND Portland, July 7. There Is no change In the situation. Local trains are mov ing on schedule time. QUUiT AT TACOMA.
