CniCAr.o, July 8.—Tlio United States frcm-.rnmunt lias tiikon a lmnd In tho warfare ufjutust tlo boycottors aud rlotiM-M. Judges Wood^ aud Urosscup iu Uicir chambers wcro presented with a bill for an Injunction, most sweeping in its nature, prepared by I'niied States District Attorney Milolirist and Special Counsel Edwin Walker, and the order of the court was that all strikers and rioters be restrained from interfering with the operation of railroad trains under the interstate commerce law and tho statutes of tho United States governing tho transmission of mail.

Under the jurisdiction of Judge Woods it can be put into operation throughout Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Five hundred copies of the injunction have been made and will bo served on Debs, Howard and the directors of the American Kuilway union at once.

Cist of the Injunction.

The order of tho court that uo! in the nature of an injunction Is, in brief, sis follows:

Ii is directed to E. V. Debs, G. "W. Howard, Jj. Rogers and all other members of the American Kaihvay union ulso strikers and other persons whomsoever who meet with the above named, or who Intend to act with them in deeds of violence. All urn enjoined from interfering with tho business of tho twentyone railroads, the same being those represented in the General Managers' association.

The injunction restrains all persons from interfering with the business of these common carriers whose business It is to carry passengers -vithiu the slate and between tho sovoral states also to restrain tho Interference with express and mall trains. Tho Injunction also restrains all persons, both those named and those to whom the injunction applies, from entering the grounds of the said railroad companies, their yards or terminals, and from destroying any of the property of the said railroads. The Injunction further restrains all persons from attempting to Interfere with the business of the roads by seoktng to lndueo employes to stop work by threats, violence, intimidation, promises or otherwise, also to restrain all persons from attempting to intimidate. threaten'-, or force employes recently •placed upon tho roads to stop work. Tho order goes Into ellcct immediately and notico will b« served upon the above named and promulgated to the public.

Michigan Central Protected.

Judges Woods and (jrosscup have Issued the injunction prayed for Saturday by Attorneys Winston & Meagher for the Michigan Centra1 railroad restraining the strikers, ineluding switchmen, firemen and all employes who opposed the operation of the road. The injunction is based upon the interstate commerce aet and directs that all who interfere with the performance of interstate business bo amenable to the laws.

Turning Against I)el8.

The eU'eet of the application to the national government for aid in ending the strike has alieady been felt. With Uncle Sain in charge, the strikers are beginning to become discouraged and desertions from their ranks lire reported at some points. At Hvanston. Wyo.. the men have decided to go back to work, even if they have to leave the American Railway union to do it, and have so notified tho authorities. At other points, too, there are signs'of weakening, and the railway officials believe that the tide has turned and that the backbone of the strike is broken.

Other organizations have also turned Debs down. The oillcers of tho Brotherhood of Railway trainmen at Galesburg have ordered all their men to remain neutral, do what, work may be properly required of them and assist the strikers in 110 way. The engineers are also beginning to stiffen a little in their allegiance to tho railroads. They liad been weakening before.

The strikers have also failed in their effort to get. tho ICyle resolution passed at Washington and the arrest of Debs is almost hourly threatened. All this has weakened their power and inIIuenee with others, but nothing has had the effect that the calling out of the tr.ions lias. That means business it shows them how serious the matter is, ami it is generally believed that it will end the strike.

The iiremen will not join the s(rike. From Indianapolis word was received that lira ml Master Sargent had placed his ban on tho threatened movement in his ranks.

From Cleveland word has been received that Chief Arthur is also using his utmost effort to keep his men clear of the trouble. It Is safe to predict that engineers who aid tho strikers will bo disciplined by their own organization.

A Symbol of Sympathy.

The executive board passed a resolution setting forth that in order to demonstrate the fact that the peoplo wereinsympathywit.il the strikers, a request would be made at once that every man, woman and child in the city of Chicago manifest sympathy by wearing a white ribbon. The committee expected to have tho city Hooded with white ribbons withiii the next twenty-four hours.

President Debs has received assurances from Master Workman Sovereign, of tho Knights of Labor, and l'resident Mahon, of the National Association of Street Car Employes, that these bodies stand ready to assist the American Railway union in its light.

The. force of deputy marshals and sheriffs scattered throughout the various railway yards up to the hour of noon numbered nearly 1,000.

ItoadN Are lliully Crippled.

The general situation shows little or no improvement. Every railroad entering Chicago is crippled. .Many of the trunk lines are paralyzed. Traffic hns been entirely suspended on some of the lines. All the roads entering the l'olk street station are particularly affected by the strike. The Santa Fosucceeded, after much trouble and many delays, In bringing in several passenger trains from the west, Tho suburban service of tho city is practically at a standstill, engineer, und Iiremen being tacitly allied with the strikers.

Outside Chicago the situation in the west is practically unchanged. Troops aro being moved to raise tho" blockade in California, but there is a prospect that they will be stopped in transit by engineers who are in sympathy with tho strikers. Thero have been many collisions betweon tho officer* and thi malcontents of tho union, Jr there hi

destruction of property. Embargo on 'ocrMnrl»H. One of the most serious features of the situation is the effect of the boycott on necessaries. The ice business has been very seriously affected by the strike. Within tho last two days the price of ico has jumped from 83.50 to 811 a ton and unless tho embargo Is speedily raised tho price will surely leap to a higher figure.

In consoquenco *f the strike farmers in the great fruit and vegetable bolt of southern Illinois aro losing thousands of dollars daily beoauso of their inability to got their berries aini tomatoes to market. At amass meeting of tho growers Monday a telegraphic message was sont to Gov. Altgeld, asking him to release thoir products now hold on the side tracks of tho Illinois Central road.

The shipment of mlllc, coal oil and coal is seriously embarrassed. There is, it is said, scarcely a ton of soft coal in the city, although usually 60,000 tons are burned daily. There is, however, an aggregate amount of 200,000 tons of hard coal scattered throughout the various yards, and if the users of tho bituminous product purpose to keep their boilers going they must pay the higher price for hard coal.

PiTTSiH'KOH, Fa., Jul.. 8.—A destructive fire broke out at midnight in tho town of Oakdale, on tho Panhandle railroad. The liro swept away a large section of tho town and was of incendiary origin. It was finally gotten under control early in tho morning by tho oil well brigade of firemen. The loss is about 825,000. Twenty families lost all their household goods in the ilames. They were left shelterless and there were some liair-breadth escapes.

Hundreds of carloads of bananas are decaying on the tracks where the strikers have tampered with the switches and interfered with the movement of perishable freight. Potatoes, It is said, are becoming scarce, and the shipment of fish from the east has been completely throttled.

Situation at tho Stock Yards.

As a result of the general tie-up of the Stock Yarfls railroads, 0,000 men and 100 girls employed in the big packing houses liavo been laid off. During the early morning tho Jiurlington road succeeded in bringing in live trains of live stock, each train containing thirty cars, Tho receipts of live stock at o'clock were 8,00U cattle. 0,000 hogs and about 2,000 sheep, and these will be killed at ilnco for local consumption. No coal lias been received at the stock yards since last Thursday and orders have boon issued for a general clean up preparatory to shutting down tho packing houses.

WASHINGTON, July 8.— Several statements liavo been published that the president was not favorabh' disposed toward the admission of new states, and for that reason it was likely none of tho bills that passed the house for the admission of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico woultl pass tho senate, and if they did pass they would not be likely to secure tho approval of the president. Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico has seen tho president and been assured the signature of tho chief executive will be attached at the proper time to the New Mexico bill. According to Mr. Joseph the president declared New Mexico deserved statehood more than any of the territories 011 the list, and added that it was high time the promise made to old Mexico that statehood should be granted to New Mexico as soon as practicable should be carried out.

A WEDDING NOVELTY.

Marriage Certilicate Six Feet I.ong EugroiReil and Framed.

An expert engrosser in Philadelphia tells of a recent society event in which an example of his work figured as the chief object of interest. This was a highly ornate, marriage certificate, executed chiefly with a bamboo pen on the finest "Yellow Mill" drawing paper. The signature of the legally authorized Camden oflicial who performed the ceremony was written with the same pen. When framed and hung above the folding-doors facing the dining-room of an uptown mansion, it measured six feet in length and twenty inches in width. "The young couple were delighted with my work," said the engrosser, •and after I had helped to conceal it with an artistic drapery of white silk, the wife remarked: 'I shall not undrape this until all our guests are seated at the table this evening, and /then,' she added, with scornful emjphasis, 'X gues.j they will know whether we are married oi' not.'"

A IAY OF HIOTINO.

CHICAGO, July !i.—Strikers and their friends, numbering near 1,000 men. at Blue Island Monday morning overpowered 200 deputy sheriffs and United States deputy marshals and prevented the clearing of the Ruck Island yards at that point. Chief Deputy Marshal Logan was stabbed during the encounter. The wound, inflicted by an unknown assailant, was long, but not deep nor dangerous. It extended from the armpit several inches down the leftside. Many of the strikers, were clubbed by the deputies and struck with rocks and stones from 'their own ranks but none were seriously injured.

The marshal's and sheriff's deputies were sent to Blue island to clear away a blockade that had existed iu the freight yards since Saturday noon. The tracks were filled with passenger coaches and su bur bun trains and it was impossible for the mail trains to get through. Tho attempt to raise the blockade resulted In the most desperate, encounter of the strike and In the defeat of the officers of tho law, after which they asked for state and federal aid. A conference between Marshal Arnold and Deputy Sheriff Liebrandt resulted in the transmission of a telegram from the former to United States District Attorney Milchrist, asking him to request the secretary of war to send the Fifteenth regiment from Fort Sheridan to the scene of the trouble: the other telegram was from Deputy Sheriff Liebrandt to Sheriff Gilbert asking him to request aid from the governor. The telegrams reached their respective destinations about noon. Sheriff Gilbert replied by sending thirty additional deputies. District Attorney Milchrist sent forty deputy marshals and a copy of the injunction protecting mail trains issued Monday by Judges Wood and Grosscup.

Details of tho Conflict.

Before the officers at, Blue Island called for aid they had passed through a desperate encounter with the strikers. Officials of the Rock Island road, including General Superintendent Dunlap, Assistant Superintendent Nichols aud Roadmaster Conlin, decided to move out a train of the blockaded cars about II o'clock. When the strikers saw the intended move they crowded across the tracks and gathered in front of the t-ain. Stones were thrown ami knives drawn, while the deputies on the trains pulled their revolvers. Deputy Marshal Logan jumped in.111 the cars to arrest a particuiary offensive striker, and the men were soon rolling in the dust together. During the encounter some one stabbed Logan from behind, but he did not learn of his wound until the trouble was over.

Miehai'l Lnrson. :i village police officer, added to the nfusion by trying to arrest the engineer for violating the town ordinance forbidding trains to block crossings fur more than five minutes'. He was thrown from the cab by the deputy marshals. Officer McMillan, another of the village force, tried the same tiling and was arrested for attempting to interfere with the United States mails.

As the train started to move tho crowd grew more furious and demonstrative. The men surged around the engine and tried to climb into tho cab. Many of them were knocked over the heads with butts of revolvers, but no shots were fired. Resistance, however, was too strong, and after a short conflict with the angry 1110b the attempt to move the train was abandoned and Sheriff Liebrandt. Marshal Arnold and officers joined in the conference that resulted in the call for troops.

Heading the Injunction.

Hisses, shouts and derisive jeers greeted the order of the United States government to all people to cease interfering with mails or the business of the railroads as common carriers. This order was brought to Blue Island by Marshal Arnold, who attempted to read it from the platform of a car. The reading was greeted with hisses, laughter unit derisive howls against the interference of the government. No consideration was shown for the authority of the United States whoso court had issued the injunction. Time and again Marshal Arnold was stopped, and during the intervals he begged tho men "to listen, to wait." When he had finished he asked them, in tho name of the government, to disperse and allow tho mails to proceed.

Warned the Strikers.

Marshal Arnold warned the men it was a serious matter to interfere with the United States mails and that violence against the government was a crime receiving severe punishment. Trains were to be moved at any cost. A sufficient foreo was 011 the way to see that the company be allowed to do business. Bloodshed might be necessary, but in the name of law and order he cautioned moderation.

Then the rioters howled defiance at the marshal and his deputies and promptly violated the injunction by throwing a box car across tin tracks and stopping all traffic for the night. The marshal immediately reiterated his demand for United States troops und it is the general belief that Undo Sam's soldiers will be sent to-day.

As soon as they were out the general superintendent tried to substitute non-union men, but the engineers refused to work with them and nearly every wheel 011 tho line came to a sudden standstill.

There are people who have a distinct antipathy to the screech owl and cannot listen to a single burst of its hilarity without shuddering. The screech owl is supposed by the negroes 011 southern plantations to be in direct communication with all the "ghosts" and "giants" of the forests.

The conference continued until nearly midnight, and at its close the officials were very reticent in regard to its result. It wus learned, however, that the situation had been reviewed in detail, aud the general policy of the administration as outlined in early dispatches was reiterated. The views expressed were to the effect that while the strike was likely to fail of its own weight and from lack of thorough organization, yet it was necessary for all authorities to be on the alert and to cheek at the outset any overt and lawless act. It was held that the law *vtis amply sufficient to authorize federal intervention whenever conspiracy was shown, as well as when mails were Interferred with or the interstate commerce act infringed. No specific directions were given to Gen. Miles, whose long service and bniUiant record entitle him to the ijtinost confidence. He has left for $?iicago and will resume control of his forces couoentrated near that point. (iarrlson at Fort Sheridan.

At the war department Chicago is looked on as the danger point at present, but the officials are confident that they have a sufficient force there to meet present demands, the garrison at Fort Sheridan including a full regiment of infantry, two batteries of artillery and two troops of cavalry all well-drilled and seasoned troops. •Conformable to general instructions issued heretofore the army ofileers commanding the great, departments are holding their troops iu readiness for action, and in case the trouble at Chicago should assume unexpected proportions it will be possible to reinforce the garrisons there within a single day by moving many re\inients from the northwestern posts.
