Chicago July 11. It is reported that
when the Federal grand jury concludes
its investigation of the Am'erican Rail
way union it" will begin anlnquiry into
the policy and methods of the General
Managers' association. Among the lead
ers of the workingmen the charge has
been made openly and repeatedly, that
the obstruction of United States mails
and the interruption of inter-State com
merce was due quite as much to the
general managers as to the railway'
union. ' Ic has been stated that no trains
should be run on any road till all had
gained their points in disputes with the
men. e This was 'done, it is argued, to
hold back such companies as showed an
inclination to treat with its employes
and bring about a resumption of traffic
on its own lines. . It is asserted by the
i i
men that they can prove that telegrams
were sent out from the General Mana
gers' association ordering certain railroad
lines to send out no trains till'a designated
scheme had! "been accomplished. All
this, the men assert, is as clear a case of
conspiracy om the part of. the general I
managers as the acts or uebs and his
associates and rendered them indictable
for conspiracy.
Judge Grosscup and District Attorney
Milchrist hate said that justice will be
meted out impartially to all violators of
the Federal statutes. "
Under a J subpoena duces tecum, Ahe
headquarters of the railway union were
raided last evening while Debs, Howard,
Meliher and others were awaiting in the
district attorney's office to complete their
bonds and all of the official papers of the
union seized ( that could be found. In
the general sweep Debs' personal mail
was carried away by the officers from
the district attorney's office. Debs mail
was to day returned to . him by order v of
Judge GrosECup, who declared the
seizure to be illegal. The statutes under
which the - indictments were yesterday
found against Debs and others provide, in
addition to fines ranging from $1,000; to
$10,000, imprisonment, under one
statute, f or'npt more than two years and
under another of not less than bix
months nor more than six years.
Judge Grosscup, when questioned
upon the possible action of the grand
jury against the General Managers7 as
sociation said: "I. have no doubt that
when the grand jury shall have finished
the particular matter it is, now investi
gating it will turn its attention to others
who may have violated the law. It will
widen the scope of its inquiry bo as to
include all persons who may have inter
fered with or : obstructed inter-State
commerce op the United States mails in
any way or by any means." .
"Will you give the grand jury addi
ditional instructions on that point?" I
; "I cannot ii discuss that point rnow. I
will do whatever ia necessary to enable
the grand juiy to do its full duti."
The labor men have little faith inj the
special Federal grand jury. They tick
to their opinion that the grand jjury(was
drawn, not to investigate yiolations of
law, but to Return indictments against
the railway union men and their sym
pathizers, i ' j v : :. J ; :
The ultimate effect of the appeal issued
last night by Grand Master Workman
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, call
insr on all Knights throughout the coun
try, and those in sympathy w$th them
to quit work; and the order issued at
about the same time by the representa
tives of allied labor in Chicago to do
likewise, cannot yefc be certainly fore
seen. All tnat is aenmteiy Known is inac
the Knights of Labor at all points heard
from, including nearly all of the' large
centres of population of the ( United
States, remained "at work to-day with
practical 'unamnuty,: and that; in this
city the number: of men of the
allied trades who remained, at wor
so far outnumbered those who quit as to
make no appreciable change m tne in
dustrial appearance of the city.. The
leaders,owever, say that there is noth
ing uxthesituation to cause them dis-
couragemeht.and that the public, through
lack of knowledge of the machinery of
industrial organization, has been lea to
expect results which were not in con
templation when the strike orders were
points out that his appeal w" BO WJ or
der to strike; that., in fact, he I ias. no
power to order a walk out, but that tu
persons acquainted with the workine
of the organization would know that
in effect it would be the same as an
order. In short, he was perfectly confi
dent that by Saturday next, after the
various, local and district assemblies had
time to meet and take formal action on
the appeal and tot rally their friends in
side ot the order, the result would show
1,000,000 men idle as a consequence. The
local -strike leaders also claimed I that a
little time was the only necessary condi
tion to a walkout or the 1U0,000 men
whom they represent, and that by Satur
nay, after the various sub-organizations
had had time to consult together." the
proposed tie up of business would be
fully as effective as they had predicted.
Surface indications, so far, however,
don't 'bear put the claims of either
Sovereign or the Chicago men. It is not
recorded yet that any district assembly
of the Knights of Labor has voted on
the strike. ,On - the other hand, the
Brooklyn district which is composed of
railroad men and, therefore, naturally
supposably in sympathy with their fel
lows in the west, at a meeting to-day
confined their expressions of sympathy
to a tender of financial aid, but declined
to strike. ! - i -. i M
Locally, several of the organizations.
members of the Federated Trades unions
have given it to be understood that they
do not intend to go out. Furthermore,
it is known that there was a large con
servative element in the representative
trades meeting which passed the resolu
tion having a strike in view, and it is
understood that they have been earnestly
at work ever since to minimize the result
of that action.
In the meantime, continued improve
ment in the i railroad situation and else
where, except at Sacramento .and Oak
land, Cal. is noted. "At the former place,
Federal troops were landed this morning,
out tne state muitia Btauoneu on me

Labor, perhaps the mostnowerful orzan
ization of the kind in the country, in this
city to-morrow and its action is expected
to have a markeu euecs on tne outcome
of the present industrial struggle. It is
Vnnwn that the position ofi Samuel
Gompers, its president, has been one of
a sympathetic strike of
federation men at this time, and that he
looks on the existing situation aa critical.
He has invited the heads of other labor
organizations to meet him here at that
time "and the belief is that he will
strenuously advocate measures to bring
the trouble to an end. - ; ' . a
The great railway strike is practically
at an end in Chicago.' Trains on - ail
roads are moving, i Passenger trains are,
almost without exception, on time and
freight traffic is rapidly becoming regu
lar. -. . .
"The backbone of the strike is not
only broken," said Manager Egan, of
the General Managers' association, this
afternoon, "but the backbone has en
tirely disappeared. The blockade Js
raised, and it will, require" but a short
time to get the "railroad business of the
city back into its regular routine.
On the Chicago and Grand Trunk the
passenger service is regular and . freight
and suburban, servicj- was resumed to
day. , The Wabash ran local freights and
part of its suburban trains, in addition
to the through passenger service, and the
Michigan Central moved a mass Of mer
chandise which had accumulated at
Michigan City. The Wisconsin Central
reported : both freight aixL passenger
trains running on time and tne Chicago
and Northern Pacific announced ' that
all the day trains were runnings regu
larly, although niht service has not
been resumed. The Santa Fe ran
trains regularly in and out of Chicago
and the Erie resumed freight traffic,
with its passenger and express trains
running on time. . The (Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago ran all trains on
time all day, the burned bridge at Ham
mond having been repaired. On the
Chicago Great Western all passenger, and
freight traffic, as well as yard work was
handled regularly, and the Chicago
and Alton reported . all trains on the
entire road running ; without inter-
It ruption. 1 The Chicago and Eastern
Illinois experienced, no trouble, .with
the exception of a demonstrative crowd
at Brazill, Ind. The Illinois Central had
190 load of in-bound freight to-day and
its through passenger service was
regular. The Chicago,- Burlington
and L Quincy handled several freight
and stock trains, to-day, and its
passenger and suburban trains were
all on time. ' On the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago all passenger trains
ran regularly and f reign ts were moyed
more fceejy. I The Panhandle moved
freigWrfreely and reported its passenger
service iiiinterrupted, and the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul handled the
regular number or freight, passenger
and suburban trains. . t
The Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern announced that,' owing to the Toledo
strike, it had suspended the reception
from western connections of perishable
freight and live stock. '
Spokane, Wash., July 11. The North
ern Pacific is rapidly resuming operations
on the Coast division jand trains are run
ning nearly on time. A .military escort
accompanies every train. The strikers
refuse to return to work and new men
are taking their places. ;
Sacramento, July 11. The train that
was wrecked near here was bound for
San Francisco. Regular' troops were
stationed on the engine " and one pas
senger car. There are two causes prob
able. One is that fish plates had been
removed from the rails, allowing them
to spread, and another is that the tim
bers of a trestle had been sawn nearly
through, causing it to collapse under the
weight of the train. The engine and
four ,. cars went -down. There
was ( no shooting at " the "train,
as first reported. The killed are
Engineer Clarke and Privates Bevins.i
Lubbarden and Clarke. ; Private Dugan
lost both arms and is likely to die. All
belonged to battery L, Fifth artillery;1
Private Clarke was drowned. The others
were crushed in the wreck. Another
private named Smith is missing.; The
disaster occurred only a short distance
from Sacramento. Two companies of
cavalry thoroughly skirmished the
vicinity afterwards but made no cap
tures and met with no resistance. The
train was brought back to Sacramento.
Chicago, July 11. Mayor Hopkins,
Mayorr Pingree, Of Detroit, and Erskine
M. Phelps of Chicago, had a 2-hour con
ference this evening with" Vice President
Wickes, General Solicitor Runriels, and
General Manager Brown, of the Pullman
company r at Mr. Wickes' office. Mayor
Pingree's telegrams urging arbitration
were presented and arbitration , was
strongly urged, j The conference was
held behind closed doors. The Pullman
xjfficials promised to give a verbatim re
port of it to the newspapers. The report
as giaen out by them follows: ,
Mayor Pingree, ; of Detroit,- accom
panied by IJayor Hopkins and Mr.
Erskine M. Phelps, of Chicago, called at
the Pullman offices and submitted to the
officials of the L Pullman company the
telegrams Mayor Pingree had received
from the mayors of other cities upon the
question oj? arbitration. Thereupon fol
lowed a protracted friendly discussion of
the matter, in which the officers of the
Pullman company set out f uUy their
reasons for believing that the question at.
issue, which was simply the re opening
of the works and carrying them on at a
-uncus . ipse, was -not a proper suDjecc
forarbHUo iU'' . .
Mayor Hopkins, Jltr W? oonrerenw,
would only say: "We arei jut., wnere we
were before we went. .Let tnem do .v
talking." j
1 At the labor headquarters to-night it
was announced that the followingunions
had struck: Painters 4,000 men: machine
wood workers, ov0; : planing mill hands,
800b silver gilders,! 340; carriage and
wagon-makers, 700; It is expected, the
labor men say, that 1,000 moulders will
strike inHhe 'morning. :
Chicago, July 11. Peace and quiet
were maintained throughout the city to
day. Ifwas a welcome i relief from the
tension of yesterday, and especially in
view of the fears that had been enter
tained that the general tie-up ordered by
tne various trades mignt result in hiling
the streets with sympathetic strikers and
serious disorder being possibly provoked
At the stock yards the blockade was
effectually broken. Business was re
sumed on every road and all was hustle
and bustle in the miles of pens along the
tracks. The first incoming cattle tram
in two weeks steamed into the yards at
daybreak and by 4 o'clock 159 cars of
live stock were brought in. For the
twenty-four hours ending . this evening
not a single 'fire or. police . alarm was
turned in from the district.
The i situation to-night is that of an
armed truce.. -The railroad .men, by
watching every move of their adver
saries, say tnat tney are satisnea witn
the situation ana that their policy is . ab
solutely "No .Surrender," The union
officers and directors also profess to be
equally s&osnea ana aaopt tne same
motto, n&cn siae ; is waiting tor tne
other one to move.'
Massuxon, O., July 11. Orders were
received at the Wheeling and Lake Erie
division headquarters this morning to
pay off and discharge every man con
nected with the railway in any capacity
whose presence is not absolutely mdis
pensable. Of the 3,000 employees the
only ones retained are .station agents,

and a lew operators. All business is
suspended except the movement of one

Washington, July 11. At the v open
ing of business in the Senate a question
of precedence was raised between j Sena-j
tor Blackburn, who wished to proceed
with an Appropriation- bill and Senator
Daniel, who wished to have the . resolu
tion of Senator Peffer taken up, with his
own substitute offered for it yesterday.
Finally Senator Blackburn yielded and
Senator Daniel took the floor. - t
After the resolution and the substitute
had been read, Senator Daniel said, that
tm consultation with several Senators,
both Democratic and Republican, he
wouldnow offer an additional clause to
his substitute. This additional clause
was that, while the Senate expressly de
clares its determination to endorse the
Executive in theenforcement of the laws
and in maintaining the supremacy of
the Constitution, Ht deems it proper,
also, to declare its adhesion to the ; prin
ciple of arbitration ofdifnculties and
controversies between the employer of
labor and the employes, asjecognized in
the laws of the United Statesand to ex
press its condemnation of the refusal of
a party to such a controversy connected
with the disturbances at Chicago and
vicinity to submit such difficulty and
controversy to fair and impartial ; arbi-x
t ration, and its determination also to
use, in the promotion of such arbitration,
whatever constitutional power it may
possess. - . i
Senator Dolph, Republicanof Oregon,
said that he would be very glad to have
substituted for the resolution and pend
ing amendment a simple resolution en
dorsing the action of the President in the
matter. He would not criticise the Pres
ident, but would commend him. If he
had been in the President's place he
would have done what the President did,
even if there had been some doubt in his
mind as to his constitutional right to do
so. It was fortunate for the country that
it had a Chief Magistrate who hadthe
backbone to do whan he hfid done. He
intimated that the Senator from Virginia
had "become afraid of his resolution of
yesterday and now p ropoeed . to throw a
sop to those who' were engaged in defy
ing the laws, committing murder, and
destroying property. Part of the amend
ment proposed to-day was a covert con
demnation of the Pullman company for
refusing to arbitrate." He (Dolph)
wanted to- know more of the facts before
he expressed: an opinion as to the merits
or demerits of the proposition.
Senator Hawley also opposed the ar
bitration clause of the resolution, saying
that it Was a matter quite outside of and
foreign to the field which the Senate had
undertaken to occupy. He should be
perfectly satisfied with a brief resolution
declaring that the Senate approves the
course of the Chief Executive in his ef
forts to execute the law and to preserve
the peace. If, it covered ten pages it
could not say anything more than that.
Senator Daniel I think we all seek a
common purpose in the right spirit. I
do not want to prolong this debate at a
time when the Senate has so many im
portant matters before it. If acceptable
to Senators, I would propose to with'
draw the second clause as submitted" this
morning and to drop all of my resolution
of yesterday except the first and last
paragraphs.
Several Republican Senators That ii
right, . . : ;
- Senator Daniel The reason why I in
troduced the subject of arbitration was
because !of the statute on the subject, be
cause of, the President's message to Con
gress in ; 1886 recommending legislation
on the subject, and because of the general
policy of this nation tofacilitate the
peaceful sentiment of all questions. But,
perceiving that it . would involve criti
cism, which' we are, perhaps, notlully
prepared to meet,' and which might do
injustice with the limited information
before us, I defer consideration of that
question; to a more convenient season. .
Senator Daniel's modified resolutions
were then adopted, without a division, as
a substitute for Senator Peffer's resolu
tion. It is as follows:
Resolved. That the Senate indorse the
prompt and vigorous measures adopted
by the President of the United States and
the members of his administration to re
pulse and repress, by military force, the
interference of lawless men with the due
process of the laws of the United States
and with the transportation of the mails
hi the United States and with commerce
atnong the States. Te' action of the
President and his fMlministration has the
full svmnathv and support of the law
he will be suf porwu uv a
of the Government 5na by tbe power and
resources of the entire nation. , '
The Senate then took up successively
and passed, practically without discus
sion, and with little more consumption
of time than that occupied by the, clerk
in reading them, tne uipiomauo aua
Consular, the Invalid Pension and the
Military Academy Appropriation oius.
The Pension bill appropropriated a round
$150,000,000. If the Senate had not been
in an exceptionally maoient -disposition,
the result of the great strain to which.it
was subjected during the long and ex-
haustive tariff struggle, it might have
discussed such a bill for a couple of days.
But the only discussion which the bill
evoked was the delivery of two short
speeches by Senators Cullom and Gallin-
ger . in criticism . ot xne uemocranc
administration of the Pension office and
a sharp reply to them by Senator Palmer.

ing to-day and the stock fell f per cent.
ip 72K the general list yielding i to i per
cent, in sympathy. The decline was due
to fears that the Chicago Knights of
Labor would follow Sovereign's sugges
tion and further complicate the labor
situation at the 'West. When it was
seen, however, that the request was
having but little ' influence and that the
ranks of the strikers received few acces
sions, a "" decided change tor better
occurred.' The conditions on the Pacific
coast improved materially and it was
also rumored that the Pullman employes
would return to work ; without arbitra
tion after all. Again the Government
crop report had good effect on the corn
carrying roads and induced purchases
of Rock Island and Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy! for both long and short
accounts. CJhicago Gas, after ani early
decline to; 72i. rose rapidly ! to
75, the recovery being assisted I by
reports that the company does not
employ union labor and tne Sovereign
order, even ; if carried out, would only
have indirect .influence. Sugar scored
the heaviest gain among the Industrials,
rising from 96 to 99 on Washington ad
vices thatUithe conference committee
will agree ; to a Drotective -dutv nn
hfined sugary Tobacco moved up to 881
toxpaf on fight transactions, while Lin
seedxOil fell from 20 to 17, the suicide of
the vi president of the company hav
ing s tarted j a selling movement. Pull
man is m better demand and advanced 5
per cent. to158, closing at 157 bid. The
railway list,j after the fractional decline
noted at tfte opening, i became strong
and continued so to the close. A more con--fident
tone characterized the dealings
throughout the entire session. London
exaggerated the importance of the pro
posed strike; by the Knights of Labor, and
sold at thei start, but when it was seen
that but an insignificant proportion of
the members- responded to ,the calL for
eigners turned bullish. ; There was good
demand for Grangers. Reading. Louis
ville and Nashville and Western Union,
and the improvement, . which ranged
from J to Jf per cent. ws weU diatribH
uted. ; The! market closed strong and
to 2 per cent, higher on i the day. Total
sales were j 159,000 shares. The bond
market opened weak but closed higher.
Chicago j July 11. The Government
report has come and gone and it was
bullish too, yet wheat closed lower to-day
than yesterday. ' Everybody had the ad
vance information a few days ago and
everybody bought on if, consequently
there was an Immense quantity for sale
to-day, prices feeling the effect thereof.
An unconfirmed rumor, which received
some credence, that Pullman employes
were making application for reinstate
ment on the old terms, caused a sensa
tional bulge of ic at one time in the ses
sion, but as there was obviously no basis
for the report, an equally rapid decline
soon followed. Within the last half
hour it became known that two cars of
No. S red winter (new wheat), sold at 55c
on the cash market, there being no regu
lar storage warehouses for them to go to.
This sale was promptly succeeded by a
further loss m the futures, the close
being weak at almost the inside price of
the day. September wheat qpened froni
55 to 5:9c,48oJd to. 59Jc, Reclined to 58c
and closed at 58fc a net; loss of $c I for
the day. f . .-. j 1 1
lhe interest in the corn market cen

vanced sharply by shorts, who were
bidding vigorously in their efforts to
cover, lhe lack of storage facilities tor
new arrivals, the very i heat receints.
which were, however, ohlv a temporary
influence. jand the bullish tenor of the
Government report all furnished incen
tive for buying. The deferred ODtions
showed firmness in sympathy with the
current month, but everything was easier

wheat ODened at 42c. sold between 414 tn
411c and 421c. cldsine at the inside, a
f shade under yesterday. July closed fo
mgner man yesterday, uirenngs of
cash corn were light. h ;
Around the start the shorts in the oats
market were following the lead of those
in corn, but when that demand from
that source ceased, there was little of any
support accorded, xne later-weakness
in wheat extended to oats and the close
of September was a fraction lower than
yesterday.; !-:
rroviaions So little was done in this
market that quotations were -mostly bid
and asked prices. The outlook for business
at tiie yards was "more promising, and
perhaps product may present a little
activity when, live stock trading is re
sumed, i The opening wag steady to-day,
but the later feeling was less firm, the
decline in wheat having an effect. At
the close September pork jwas 2c lower
than yesterdayj, September lard 5c lower
and September rios Jt to oc lower.
Differences in the Tariff Conference
,f Committee. - i
Washington. July 11. Members of
the .Tariff " Conference committee both
from the Senate and the House, said to
day when conference closed at 6 o'clock
that progress was being made. Some
designated the advance as good progress
and others contented themselves by say
ing simply 'progress." AH, however,
agreed that upon the subjects in which
the Wilson and the Senate bills radically
differ, the conferees are still very wide
apartIt ; was stated by one' of t the
House conferees that I were the
sugar coal, and iron differences ad
justed there would be but little diffi
culty in reaching an agreement on other
matters. The House conferees feel that
they are entitled to some radical con
cessions, and the Senators do not seem
disposed to yield. The latter say that it
was with the utmost difficulty that they
prepared a bill which would command
sufficient votes to. pass the Senate and
that many changes would perhaps mean
danger to the nnal adoption r or the
measure. To-day, more than heretofore,
the House members have run against the
tenacity of the Senate for a Senate bill
and the adjournment indicated that the
stubbornness
on both sides was keenly
felt.

Deputy Collector Kirkpatrick reports
to Collector Simmons the seizure of a 40
gallon illicit distillery in Orange county,
owned by Henry Perry. Three men who
were operating the still were arrested.
There are now 159 female and 143
male patients in the insane asylum here.
It is said the number of females is the
greatest inside the building at oue time.
Including patients 'at home on probation,
the total under treatment is 520. "
To-day was set apart for the heating of
exceptions to the assessment of the rail
ways, steamship lines, etc., by the Rail
way. Commission. Mr. Gary, superin
tendent of the Lake Drumrnond Canal
company, appeared before the commis
mission and argued that under the terms
of the charter that company is exempted
from taxation. It is expected that rep
resentatives of the Seaboard Air Line,
Southern and Atlantic Coast Line rail
ways will ask for some modifications of
the assessments of certain property.
Interest in news from Chicago was less
to-day than at any time since the strike
began. No notice was taken here of any
"strike orders." There were some , un
founded reports that 150 . men belonged
to the ; American Railway j union and
were ready jto go out, but jthese when
examined into were easily ascertained to
be false rumors. ' :
There is a noticeable increase in the
number of visitors to the State museum
as well as in interest in it. It is the most
popular resort for sightseers,"; as well as
for the thoroughly practical people who
wish to make a careful preliminary
study of the State. It is difficult to say
which one of the four principal rooms is
the "most attractive. Additions to the
exhibits are being all the while made.

gate a sub-commmittee from its mem
bers to visit the places where such inter
ference and interruption have occurred,

pers, examine witnesses under oath,
employ stenographers, sit during the
recess of Congress, and doi all things
necessary to ascertain the ' facts con
nected with the subject of inquiry. It
