Sacramento, CsL, July 18-This has
base out of tba most exoltlng days in
the history of the strike. As a result
two man lie wounded at the receiving
hospital, while several others are re-
ported dead or Injured.
Shortly after lOo'Olookthis morning
a switch engine was along Front street
to dear the traok. As they readied 1
street It is olaimed a gang of strikers
fired on the itroops. The soldiers re-
turned the fire and several men were
seen to fall. Two of them were picked
up by the polios and moved to the hos-
pital. Their names are John Stuart
and Frank Buokiey. The to mer is a
marine of the United States Steamship
Alliauoe, and was attracted to the scene
of the oonfllot by the large crowds He
was. shot through the body abd is
dying. Buokiey lives in Butte county
and was here on a visit. He is shot
through the righ shoulder. Both men
deny being in any way oonneoted with
the strikers
Stuart made a statement in which
he declares he was shot down because
he refused to halt when ordered to do
so by the regulars.
The shooting was heard at the depot,
and Oolonel Graham, who is in com-
mand, ordered out the First United
States Marine Corps, under command
of Captain Berryman, and the Third
United States Marine Corps, under
Lieutenant Draper* and thev started
from the depot with fixed bayonets.
They divided into charging squads and
extended the dead line to Second
street; Shortly afterwards Troop X,
Fourth United States Cavalry, made a
flying dash down Second street to J,
and thence to Front, sweeping every-
thing before them. United Stales
Marshal Baldwin went in the lead and
proclaimed martial law. -He called
upon the people in the name of the
United States to go to their homes and
remain there until the trouble is over.
A few obeyed, but the majority remain-
ed on the streets In dettanoe of the
marshal’s orders.
Late this afternoon the streets were
comparatively deserted; only a few
strikers were to be seen, and they were
being closely watohed.
The railroad company this morning
succeeded in getting a train to Rocklin,
its destination being Ogden, by the way
of Truokee. The train was accompan-
ied by two companies of regulars.
Later another train left for the east.
It consisted of two ooaohes, two flat
oars, and several fruit oars. Two
gatling guns were placed on the flat
oars, to be used if oooasion demands it.
Railroad officials fear more trouble
will occur at Truckee.
San Fbanoisoo, July -13—Sixteen
days have intervened sinoe the general
strike was inaugurated on the South-,
era Pacific system. During this entire
period railway traffio has been at an
absolute standstill in northern Cali-
fornia. At least seven, probably nine,
human lives have already been sacri-
ficed la the desperate straggle that is
on between the railway oompany and
the federal government on one side
and the American Railway Union on
the other. The commercial loss has
been enormous. Not only is general
traffic almost at a standstill, but the
season’s fruit crop valued at hundreds
of thousands of dollars is periehing in
the orchards.
Tonight there is every indication
that more men will be slaughtered in
this industrial war; that fruit growers
are to see more of their orops spoil on
their hands and that the embargo on
oommeroe is to be indefinitely contin-
ued. When the United States army
and navy ware thrown into the fight it
was said the trouble would speedily
end. It is now three daye sinoe the
federal troops went into the field in
northern California, but the end is not
yet in sight. In fact the United States
authorities were resisted as was the
state militia foroee and troublous
times seem but to have begun.
A train bearing 250 troops from
Douglass, Utah, is west bound. This
train arrived at Winnemuooa at noon
today and under oover of these troops
a west bound passenger train that had
been stalled at Winnemuooa elooe
June 28, was released and started for.
ward under military guard. Another
overland train from Los Angeles is
also coming into southern California
under heavy military guard. This
train passed Bakersfield this afternoon
without incident and Is due to reach
Oakland late tonight. Oakland yards
on the Mole are under the protection
of *1000 United States marines, state
militiamen and deputies. This force
ieeuffiotent to overawe the strikers
and today there was no farther vio-
leooe. •
In San Francisco the event of the
any oommittee appointed under its
provision. As I understand it, the
oommittee has all the power of a con
gresslonal investigating committee. J
believe this oommittee oen compel
Pullman to show his books, and the
result will be that the public will be
given faots in the controversy between
him and his employes. It makes no
difference whether Pullman wishes to
arbitrate or not, or whether be thinks
he has nothing to arbitrate. The com-
mittee has all power necessary touring
out ali tbs facts and th# publuPpan
than draw its own conclusions ”
At 9 o'clock this morning Dsbs call-
ed a masting of his directory at the
Revere Hones, end for half an hour
the etrike leaders were In olose oon-
fereuoe. When the doors of the coun-
cil chamber were unlocked, Debs an-
nounced ha had officially declared the
strike off, bqt asserted he would make
ho statement until After s visit to tbs
general managers. It was generally
understood, however, that the confer-
ence of the Federation of Labor gave
no promise of material aid in settling
the strike, and that with the assurance
from Washington that government ar-
bitration would be enforced, wars tbs
causes of the unexpected action upon
the part of tbs strike managers.
After Dsbs mads this announce-
ment at American Railway Union
headquarters he left to call upon the
General Managers association. He
said he would submit a proposition
asking them to tags baok ail striking
employes. The strike, It was stated,
would tons revert to its original status
ass straggle between the Pullman
oompany and its employes. Before
seeing toe general managers Dsbs ds

reasons for ordering off the strike. To
an Associated* Press reporter J. B.
Sovereign at 10 o’doek said:
"The papers to call the strike off
were ail drawn np yesterday. They
contained to provisions; first, there
should be arbitration; second, ail
striking employes, except those who
are charged with crime, shonld be
taken back. I have not seen Debs this
morning, bat arbitration has been se-
cured and that was what we wanted
and thus a greet victory has been ob

right. As soon as 1 see him I snail

AKBITRATION TALK.
Chicago, July 13—While other labor
leaders wars in oonfsrenoe last night,
Sovereign was in his room In ths Sher
man House. When questioned about
the new turn of affairs, he sxoislmsd:
“ This ts s greet victory for ths Knights
of Labor. No one thought it until ths

oould not be true. It woald be unfair
to all other labor organizations. They
said snob action would not be taken
without consultation with them,
Mayor Hopkins and Alderman Mo-
Gillan, who bad bean commissioned
by Debs, Sovereign and Gompera to
present their proposition to the gen-
eral managers, arrived at the railway
headquarters and found Mr. St. John
the ouly manager present. Notioes
wars sent out for other managers and
in a short time ths mayor left the writ-
ten proposition and returned to his
office. Ths proposition will be form
Ally considered in a short time by a
speoial meeting of tha ganeral man-
agers whioh has been summoned for
the purpose.
Dsbs then went to the city hall and
presented a proposition which he pro-
posed to present to the general mana-
gers to Mayor Hopkins, and asked the
mayor to aooompany him to ths gener-
als managers’ offloe. Ths mayor, Debs,
Sovereign and Howard then left for
the office of the general manager’s.
Mr. St. John, tha general manager of
the Ohioago, Rook Island and Paoiflo
railway, said: “They msy corns but it
will avail nothing. Ws have had noth-
ing to do with Dsbs and will have noth-
ing to do with him.”
The proposition referred to was for-
mulated lest night in s conference
bet a sen Dsbs, Sovereign and Gompera
and it was agreed that in case the
general managers refuse to meet the
wishee of President Debs, that Com-
pare should call out ths National Fed-
eration of Labor throughout ths
oonntry.
Ths proposition has two conditions,
first, thAt;arbitratlon ss proposed by
President Cleveland be entered upon,
second; that all striking employes ex-
ospt those who have beau guilty of
orimlual misoouduot shall be restored
to their positions without prejudice by
the railroad oompanies.
After Dsbs mads this startling state-
ment hs was asked whet would be the
effect in oase tha general managers re-
fused to reinstate the men. He said
hs thought tbs strike was praotioaliy
ended and regarded It as a great trt
umph for labor. After s pause he add-
ed: “Ths strike will settle book then
to the original grievanoe between Poll
man and his employes.” President
Dsbs then left Uirlohs hall to oali np
ths mayor and on ths way met Sover-
eign and Howard and they accompan-
ied him. When ths mayor arrived at
ths office of the general managers as-
sociation he found ths regular meet-
ing had adjourned and St. John of ths
Rook Island road that only manager
present St. John said hs woald re-
oslvs ths proposition and lay it before
ths next masting. Hs was requested
to oali a speoial masting but declined
to do so. Hs consented to listen to ths
gentlemen because they werb the may-
or and a prominent member of tbs
oity ooonoll. • Hs deolared hs would
have nothing to do with Dsbs or any of
ths strike leaders.
After leaving ths proposition with
St. John tbs mayor returnsd to his
offloe. St John had prsvlonaly said
that tbs General Managers woald not
recognize ths labor leaders in any way
and it was beoaose of this statement
that Debs, Howard and Sovereign did
not present their proposition in per-
son bat delegated its presentation to
ths mayor.
Chairman Egan this afternoon said
: “The
would report ths result of tbs mayor’s
visit to the geaeral managers to the
meal lug of ths sxsouttvs board to be
held at Ulhrlohs hall.
Mayor Hopkins on being asked as to
ths proposition made to tbs general
managers said: “Extremely liberal
I think. Mr. Debs agrees to oali off
the strike if the general managers
agree to take back those men who left
their employ end who have not been
guilty of any lswlsssasis or guilty of
committing any overt aot. He doss
not ask they be taken bsok as mem
bars of tha American Railway Union,
but to be treated with as individuals
There is no question of recognizing
ths unions involved. Iam hopefalof
the outcome of the consideration of
ths proposition.”
A joint meeting of ths executive
boards of ths American Railway Union
and Knights of Labor will be hold at
Uhlriohs hall at 5 p. m. today to- con-
sider ths treatment whioh ths railway
union’s proposition to Mis General
Managers association received earlier
in the day. An informal discussion
was followed by an adjournment until
10 o'clock tomorrow, Ths feeling
against the general managers was very
bitter, bat tas conclusion was to wait
until ths general managers had noted
on ths proposition before taking for*
ther action themselves. The Knights
of Labor representatives present at tha
meeting wars In fail aooord with the
railway anion and agreed to stand by
tbs anion to ths end.
President Debs ssid at ths olose of *
ths meeting that the railway union
had made the last overtures to the
general managers. It had gone mors
then half way. If ths present propo-
sition was ignored or rejeoted ths
strike would be renewed with greater

added, there has been no relaxation of
ths strike. It is in force and will re-
main so until an affirmative answer
