Carondolet and St. Louis returned to
work this morning and that road at once
resumed all traffic betweenSt Louis and
Litte Rock. The situation on the Wa
bash is more desperate than at any time
since the strike began. All of its train
men, including locomotive engineers,
have quit. Scarcely a wheel is moving
on the entire system. The Chicago and
Alton is also greatly embarrased. None
of its trains got through to 8t Louis this
morning. Several trains are reported
tied up at Bloomington.
In anticipation of a conflict between
strikers and non-union men in the Mis
souri Pacific yards, the members of the

Chicago, July 3. Almost every brew
ery in Chicago will stop making beer to
day on account of the big strike. The
scarcity or coal has made such action
necessary. Yesterday a number of offi
cials of brewing companies got together
and decided that unless their coal was
aaved for the ice machines they would
Dot only be compelled to stop their
machinery, but it would be impossible
for them to save the beer in their refrig

brewing and use fuel for nothing but

amendments or the Committee of the
Whole occupied the whole of to-day's
session. First came the motion made by
Senator Mills to place burlaps and grain
bags made therefrom on the free list
carried. Next came the famous "collars'
and cuffs amendment, fixing the duty
on those articles at 30 cents
and 30 per cent, ad valorem, and on
shirts at 50 per cent, equivalent, accord
ing to a statement made by Senator
The passenger traffic1 of he New York Chandler to an ad valorem rate of from
80 to 125 per cent. carried.
? Then the great wool schedule came up
for action, Senator Sherman offering an
amendment to place wool on the durable
list at 30 per cent. ad valorem, which was
lost.
Central railroad is still unaffected by
the Western strike, but the freight busi
ness of the road has already been
slightly disturbed. The Michigan Cen
tral, one of the New York Central rail
road's connecting roads to Chicago, has
notified the Central it can receive no
more perishable freight.
Connections west jf Chicago have
notified the Central that they can accept
no through freight at all. The conse
quence is that any consignment of per
ishable freight, as well an of other kinds
of freight, has necessarily been refused
by the Central. j
The same is true of the West Shore

time when it least interferes with busi
ness. The freierht traffic at present is

Chicago July 3. At 4 o'clock this

at Washington, ordering out the troops
at Fort Sheridan. It stated that the
President had come to the conclusion
that the United States marshal was not
able to keep the strikers in check, and
that the troops were necessary to pro

of the court.

Springfield, Ills., July 3. Trouble
has again broken out at Cairo and has
gotten beyond the control of the United
States marshals. This evening United
States Marshal Brinton called on Gov
ernor Altged and asked that troops be
sent quickly to bis assistance at Cairo.
The Governor immediately ordered out
the Fourth regiment at Greenup, with
instructions to proceed at once to Cairo
and preserve the peace and suppress
rioting. The strikers there have com
plete control and the excitement is
intense.
To-night the marshal is swearing in
deputies to proceed to Bloomington and
Clinton and, if possible, clear the block
ade. It is no longer a matter of small
importance, but, on the contrary, the
situation throughout the Southern
country is of the most serious nature.
An attempt will be made to-night to
start a special train from here for Dan
ville to bring in the prisoners captured
there to-day, and tne marshal says he
will run this train through if it takes
every man in Sangamon county to do it.
liis deputies, who leave to night for
Bloomington and Clinton, will be given
strict orders, and trouble is sure to occur, j
as the strikers are in full possession and
very turbulent. It is also rumored that
the Sixth regiment has been ordered
Narrow Escape of t he Tariff Bill.
Washington, July 3. It was no se
cret among those who had the confidence
of the leaders on the Republican side
that they expected to defeat the Tariff
bill, and they figured on a majority of
one vote against it. The first break on
the Democratic side came when the
name of Senator Caffery, of Louisana,
was called and he responded with an
emphatic "no." His j colleague. Senator
Blanchard, did not respond to his name
at all when it was called. Senator
Irby, it was claimed , had promised to vote
against the bill, but when his name was
called he responded in the affirmative,
and all hope of defeating the bill van
ished. Senator Caffery then, after a
brief explanation and a protest against
the way his people had been treated,
changed his vote in favor of the bill and
Senator Blanchard voted in the same
way. !
Had Senator- Irby stood by the com
bination, the two Louisiana Senators
would have remained firm and the vote
would have been 37 to 38 against the bill.

Some amusement was had on the floor
by the personal appeal of Senator Ran

of his proposition was the only one he
has made on the tariff question, and
after he had concluded, Senators gath

After the vote Senator Ransom inter

"The law will be upheld" said a member
of the Cabinet this morning, if the en
tire United States land force has to 1

Secretary Lamont went to the War
Department after the Cabinet mxetincr
and mafle public the following state
ment: "The United States marshal, the

Stocks and Bonds in New York.
New York, July 3. WThen it is stated
that the total sales of stocks at the Stock
Exchange reached the beggarly total of
00,378 shares, and that only 502,000 rail
way and miscellaneous bonds changed
hands during the entire session, it will
be seen that the day's operations call for
no extensive comment. The heat and
the fact that many operators left the

national holiday out of town, had a ten
dency to hold things in check. The

Senator Morgan offered an amendment,
to come in as five additional sections at

made a speech in explanation and de
fense of the amendment which would
have the effect, her said, of repressing
"those trusts in all their multiplied hid

At 3:45 o clock p. m. a suggestion was '
made by Senator Dolph that the Senate j
