The reports that additional proceedings were likely to be taken by the Federal authorities against President Debs and his associate officers of th American Railwav union had the eiiect of bringing a big crowd to the United States Circuit court room in the Government building this morning. Judge Seamans, of Milwaukee, presided in the absence of Judge Grosscup. Debs was present at the opening of court, ac companied by W. W. Erwin, the noted criminal lawyer of St. Paul, A. Shoe maker, of St. Paul, Er win's lw asso ciate and by S. S. Gregory, of this city, who was the leading counsel of Prender gast in the lunacy proceedings that fol lowed the assasm s conviction and has ' been retained as special counsel for the union. As soon as a few minor cases had been I at the proper time t? disused of Mr. Gregory stepped to the be demurred to ant bar, announced the presence of Debs and -inquired whether the hearing was to go on to-day. Judge Seamans replied that the case would proceed as soon as District Attorney Milchrist was ready. At 11 o'clock the district attornev, ac companied by Edwin Walker, special counsel for the Government, and George R. Peck, special counsel for the Santa Fe road, appeared. .Special Council Walker tuen opened the proceedings proper with a brief statement. He said he was desirous of piesenting to the court an information against certain people on behalf of the United States CJovernment and to ask that a writ of attachment be issued for the peroons named therein. In addition, another information was offered in be half of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa re road, this road being in the hand3 of United States receivers. The informa tion in behalf of the CJovernment, he said, set forth that on July 2nd, Judges Wood and Grosscup issued an injunction restraining Debs and his associates from interfering with inter-State commerce or with the transportation of United States mails, or from exercising terror or vio lence against railroad employes engaged in their work. Personal service of this injunction was made on the defendants, but in spite of it they continue to call out men and ordered strikes on lines within the city of Chicago and the dis trict adjacent thereto and within the ju risdiction of the court. This violation has continued daily, and it might be said hourly, and the Government desired such action and such punishment as the court might see fit. The lengthy information was then read by District Attorney Milchrist. It sets forth the facts already stated and quoted scores of telegrams sent by Debs after the injunction hadiSen issued. These have never been published and had evi dently come into they possession of the Government within i few hours, under property except so far as inter-State commerce and mails were concerned. To this the judge added: "We are not here for any other purpose." Continuing, 5lr. Walter said that the Government represented all the people, the defendants included, and it would not lend its authority to the protection of railroad property, except within the lines indicated. Finally the court cut the discussion short by ordering the issuance of attach ments for contemDt against Debs. How ard, Keliher and Rogers, but instructed the United States marshal to waive ser vice on the understanding the defendants would voluntarily surrender at the bar of the court at 2 o'clock this afternoon. When the court met at 2 o'clx;k How ard, Keliher and Rogers were present, but President Debs was not on hand. His name was called, and there being no refp?nse, it was decided to stav proceed- ings until he put in an appearance. The attorneys were beginning to get a trifle impatient, when at 2:30 o'clock Debs came into court panting for breath. Attorney Erwin asked the indulgence of five minute-s consultation and the court acquiesced.

Some were addressed to Phelan, the Cincinnati organizer, just sentenced for contempt by Judge Taft; others to C. McAuIilTe, at Milwaukee; others to Liv ingston, Mont., others to employes of the Chicago,,'Burlington and Quincy, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Big Four and Santa Fe roads. All urged men to go out and stay out. One dispatch read: "It will take more than injunctions to move trains. Get the men out." This was ad dressed to W. F. Smith. Grand Junction, Col. Many other dispatches were of the same tenor. une said: "Do not be frightened by troops, injunctions or the subsidized press. Call vour men out. This is a content of plutocracy aeainst the masses, ami we will win and protect our supporters. The court interfered at this noint.with tdie suggestion that it did not want to near any more dispatches. Enough had been read to indicate a persistent viola tion of the injunction. The district attorney proceeded to read a resume of the loss of property occasioned by the mob during the past two weeks, of assaults upon engineers, firemen and others who continued at work and of interruptions of traffic that had occurred since the injunction had gone into effect. President Debs listened with close attention. The reading of the information occu pied over one hour, and at its conclusion the district attorney contended that the defendants were clearly in contempt and should be attached and punished. Mr. Peck counsel of the Santa Feroad, stepped to the bar and read another long information, charging the defendants with interfering with the operations of that road and likewise asking for a coa- were compelled to give bail on the eharj of contempt they would go to jail, for the bail already demanded on the in dictments found in the District court had exhausted their own ability in that direc tion. Unless the court accepted their own recognizances then it was a matter of jail and nothing else. Mr. Erwin made an impassioned spee'eh, saying that le indictment would and the issue would be raised whether the unchecked opera tions of capitalistic tyranny could introduce the method-- of a British monarchy. These men had never com mitted any act of violence. The con science of the court was being whipped to resort to extreme and unjustifiable methods. Judge Seamans set the trial of the contempt cases for next Monday morning at 10. o'clock. He fixed the ad ditional bail at o,000 each and ordered the four men to be held in custody of uiiiteu oiuies mursnai unm ine the sureties had been approved. At 3:15 o'clock p. m., after a con ference with their attorneys, Debs an nounced for himself and the three other defendants that they would go to jail and refuse to give additional bail, on the ground that their bondsmen in the other cases had been so bitterly attacked by the press that they felt a great deal of hesitancy in asking any more citizens to go additional bail for them. " A score or more of friends clustered around them and urged them to recon sider their determination. One of the number said that he was worth $300,000 and would go bail for the entire quar tette. Others offered to become individ ual sureties for the several defendants. Debs, however, was obdurate, and in his determination he was supported by his associates. In the meantime the orders of commitment were made out by the clerk of the court. Marshal Arnold had been summoned, and with him he brought Deputies J. W. Forsythe and G. H. Jones. A final effort was made to in duce the defendants to accept the proff ers of their friends, but without result. At 4:30 o'clock Marshal Arnold es corted them to an open carriage in which they were driven to the county jail on the North Side. On their arrival ai the jail the prisoners were courteously II Y -W mm- -w . , . T receivea Dy jauor Morris ana Jail Ulerk Whitman. The marshal did the intro ductory honors and the prisoners shook hands cordially with their new custo dian. No feature of jail methods was, however, relaxed in their be half. At the demand of the turnkeys they held up their hands and submitted to a search. They were deprived of all valuables and then led to spacious and roomy cells in the debtors' depart ment. President Debs and Vice .Presi dent Howard were assigned to No. 5, and Rogers and Keliher to No. 6. It was ar ranged with the jail officials that meals should be served from a neighboring restaurant, and the prisoners were then left alone fjr the night. Li wri i - . vuexiever an indictment shall ie found under the provisions of this act against a corporation the service of aiiy writ or other process thereupon, or for the prosecution thereof, shall be suffi cient if a copy of such writ or process be delivered to and left with any officer or agent of such corporation resident in t ic Judicial district wherein such indict ment may be found.'' It also repeals so much of section 10 of the act as provides for punishment by imprisonment. I" The consideration of the Agricultural Appropriation bill was resumed and Senator Hansbroutrh. of Dakota, of fered an amendment to insert an itejm appropriating $1,000,000 for the destruc tion of the Russian thistle.

He sail that Debs was in court yoluutarily, although it was understood that this would be an e.vjHtrtt? application. The Government did not deem best to charge either of the four defendants with personally partici pating in violene'e, nor had a case been stated that was ccgnizable in a court of equity. With considerable heat he said that he did not understand that the Gov emirnent's information was for the pro tection of the railroads or that the move ment was to be used as an agency to vindicate tho property rights of railroads. That seemed to be what Mr. Peck wanted but it would be very unfortunate if any action of the court gave color to tliat claim. The entire country was con cerned in this matter and it must be kept free of bias. Mr. Walker responded that the Govern ment did not propose to protect railroad j Strikers Returning to Work. Chicago, July 17. A largely attended meeting of railrood strikers was held in Uhlich's hall to-day to rjjw the reports of the committees selecteSb re port the condition of the etriken the roads they formerly worked for. Some of the reports were not as indicative of success as the leaders expected. A for mer Nickel Plate employe reporteel that more than half the strikers had returned to work. The majority of the strikers are now switchmen, trackmen and shop workers. A committee of Illinois Central strikers from Harvey asked for an order to re turn to work, but permission was re fused. Vice Pre-sident Howard made a speech in which he claimed that four i fi f th -J of thP SW!trl-irvi3'n tro r-t- r-.cn on,! six slopes and mines of the Tennessee j shopmen were still out, 40 per cent, lof e.oai ana iron company with l-'U m re- the engineers and 2o per cent, of the serve in camp at slope No. 4 with Gat- firemen. He declared that the roads ung guns. jn railroad shops m the city are guarded to-night by detachments of the soldiers, as is the union deot, with a heavy reserve. Sixty-two arrests within the past fifteen hours have been made and the men are now in jail. No firing or other incendiary acts have been committed so far since the attack on slope No. 3. A tremendous indignation meeting of the citizens was heid to-day, at which all representatiye citizens were present. A committee of twenty-five was ap pointed on public Safety here to-night. Capt. S.

He closed by saying: Mr. Rogers and I have got to go into court now and it is possible that we may have to go to jail. We can even be kept there, though a writ of habeas corpus may lilerate ijis. The way to end this thing is for every workingman in Chicago to drop his tooil j complying with the law, however. Strikers Wreck a 3Iine. Coroxa, Ala., July 17.

The Vigilant Defeats the Brltann , Bangor, Ireland, July 17, The Vi Iant acquitted herself gloriously to-day in her second contest over the Royal Ulster Yacht club's course of twelve turns for the Rear Commodores cup, valued at 2 jQ and a cash prize of fl25. Some of the lustre of her victory was lost by the failure cf the Britannia I to finish. But nearly three-quarters of the course had been sailed when the Britan nia carried away the jaws of her gaff and limped back home. The lead of the Yankee yacht was then about six min utes, and, as the breeze was steady jail elay, she doubtless would have increased her advantage several minutes in the last three legs.
