will run Its trains: will run them on tlm? nd with their Iullman coaches." said Mr. Watt?. "If it seems necessary we will ask for police protection to conduct trains out l the city." The Illinois Central has given notice that can accept no freight of any kind. . . The strike has precipitated a fuel famine cn the steamboat clocks. There is not a round of coal to be had on any of the dock, and business on the river is at a standstill. Arrangements are being made to put hard coal on some of the tugs that can ue it. The strike came o suddenly that it found the coal men utterly unprepared for it. and. while they have plenty of coal in the switch yards of the Illinois Central, they cannot pet it to the dock. Th plans- to secure aid from other organization in the conduct of the fight against the Pullman company assumed definite shape t .i-day. and a conference of leaders of the Knichts of Labor, the Brotherhood of locomotive Firemen and the American Railway Union was held. General Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights; President Debs, of the American Railway Union, and Secretary Arnold, of the Firemen, were all at the meeting. When a west-bound freight train on the Michigan Central road reached Burnside to-day the switches were found set. The trainmen were ordered from the city offices to turn the rails and bring1 in the freight. A crowd of two hundred strikers and their sympathizers gathered about the train. A couple of brakemen leaped to the ground and attempted, to turn the switch. The crowd pressed forward and a big switchman placed his hand on one of the brakemen's shoulder. "You are a. contemptible cur and a coward." he hissed: "and I will kill you if you touch that switch." "Kill him! Kill him!" shouted the crowd, as it surged forward. The engineer and conductor of the train rushed to the brakem' aid. but after a short parley It was decked to leave the train on the side track. This afternoon the two hundred employes of the Illinois Central road In the Burnsidi frhops joined the strike. They walked out of the shop in a body and took a train for the city. Vice President llarahan. of the Illinois Central, telegraphed a bulletin to-day to be posted upon the bulletin boards of the road from Chicago to New Orleans and Fioux City. He called attention to the situation in Chicago, gave the details of the company's contract with the Pullman company, referred to the company's obligations to the public, and concluded witl an extract from the company's charter, which P'lates to the prosecution and punishment of thoe who interfere with the company'3 property. Engineer to lie Ordered Oat. CHICAGO. June 27. At a late hour tonight an official of the American Railway Union stated that the engineers and firemen of five Chicago roads will be ordered out to-morrow. The roads to be affected, he stated, were the Santa Fe. the Baltimore Ohio, the Chicago. St. Paul & Kansas City, the Northwestern and the Illinois Central. Members of the union claimed to have assurances that mn will quit work as soon as the crder reaches them.

HELD IT I.N IMJI.WA. SInnon Mall Train Stopped nt Ham-mond-nrlc Engine Derailed. Special 'to the jndianaoii3 Journal. HAMMOND. Ind., June 27. The American Railway Union has taken possession of this city to-night, and fully five hundred members of that order are on guard to see that no Pullman sleepers pass here. Most of the crowd is congregated around the ' tower house at the Michigan Central crossing. and all roads crossing that road have the Interlocking switches set against them. The union has nearly two hundred members in this city, and many are here from Kensington, Grand Crossing and other neighboring cities. Trains on the Michigan Central, the Wabash or the Nickel-plate aie not molested, as they carry nothing but Wagner sleepers. The only roads running through here which carry Tullroan sleepers are the Chicago & Erie and the Monon. When Erie train No. 12, due here at 8:45, reached this city it stopped just before reaching the Michigan Central crossing, discharged ajl Hammond passengers, and then pulled through without stopping at the depot. This was a move the strikers were not looking for. as it was not their intention to do anything until the train stopped at the depot, when they intended to cut off the sleepers and let the train go on. The Monorf train due here at 9:35 did not fare so well, and is now standing on the main track between here and the State line. The train Is made up of eleven cars, of which four are Pullman sleepers, and engine 36, in charge of engineer Gorman. The sleepers are chained up so that they cannot be moved. . C. G. Thompson, in charge of the interlocking switch, was called down out of the tower under threats of being shot unless he compliea with the wishes of the strikers. John Zanders, who attempted to- throw one of . the switches so ' the Monon train could pass, was knocked down by some one in the crowd, and after that no attempt was made to move the train. Two mall cars are attached to this train, one carrying Cincinnati and Eastern mail, tne other Louisville and Southern mail. Word reached here at 11 o'clock that train No. 21 on the Erie, which passed through in safety, was held up at Griffith and the engine derailed by the throwing of tha ground rail of the Interlocking switch at the Grand Trunk crossing. One train on the main line of the Pennsylvania la tied up at Sheffield, and it Is reported that another, on the Cincinnati &, Indianapolis division of the same road, tttands on the main track at the crossing of the E.. J. &. E. at Hartsdalo. Xo freight trains are moving: on the Moan on account of the passenger trains standing on the main track. The man in charge of the tower here says he i3 willing to do his work, but wants protection, and has wired the officials of the Michigan Central at . Michigan City for aid. No violence has yet been attempted against any of the train men, .but threats are frequently heard against the engineer of the Monon train because he refuses to move the train without taking the sleepers .long. The citizens of this place are In sympathy with the strikers, and are aiding tH-m as far as it Is within their power to do so. BLOCKADC IX CALIFORNIA. rnftsenjger Trains Tied lp nt Every Railroad Center. FAN FRANCISCO, June 27. The American Railway Union men In the employ of tne Southern Faci.lc have asserted their power. As a result of their attempt to enforce the Pullman boycott, passenger trains are tied at every railroad center of the ftate. Fave by the local trains there have been no passengers out' of San Francisco or Oakland to-night and there is every indication that the tie-up may be protracted. An official of the Southern Pacific company' decjared this afternoon that his people had made up their minds that If they are not t" be allowed to run Pullman coaches they will run no trains at all. The local officers of the American Railway Union declare tb-U the Pullman coaches must be withdrawn and both sides seem to be prepared for a bitter and determined tight. The Southern Pacific owns a seventy-iive per cent, interest In all the Pullman coaches running over its line. To-night it is impossible for a person to leave the State of California by rail. Not a train, except those engaged in suburban trafhc, is moving in the whole State. The Southern Pacific Company adhered to its determination not to run trains without Pullman cars, and the trainmen were equally as determined not to handle the cars bearing the hated name Pullman. Consequently the hundreds of people who expected to travel north, south and east were forced to return to Sin Francisco. The trainmen went to their homes and the big Oakland Mole was deserted, except for the fern' boat employes and the suburban ears. GENERAL STRIKE. Jill 5nnta Fe Men Ordered Ont Hrcanif Ttvo "Were- Dlschnrfcetl. LAS VEGAS. N. M.. June 2;. Railroad men here are quiet, but their determination not to move a Pullman Is very apparent. The presence of a United States marshal and a number of deputies loaded down with guns had no effect on them. Eng rjeer Jerry DeLong and fireman Re?d Oidham ere In the cab of the noon train from the pouth. ready to start out at a momnt's notice should the Pullmans b removed, but refused to bude-e otherwise. A telegram cam from Manager Frey discharging these men. and it has just ben announced that a general strike hs been ordered on the whole Santa Fe system until these men shall oe restored. The company sent out a special for Raton at 5:0 r. m.. but did not send the mail, though t could undoubtedly have done so. .The special contained the United States marshal and several of his deputies. Dcba Orders the Strike. RATON, N. M.. Jun- -'. i'rcAldent Debs. X Uae Aiacxlcan Ilailway. Union, has Issued

the order, for a strike on the entire Santa. Fe system. The men are ordered to iemaln out until the discharged emplDyes ihall be reinstated. To-night nt a wheel Is moving on the entire New Mexico division. Several arrests will be made if the United States marshals succeed. in getting here from Santa Fe. The passengers are making the best of the situation. Judge Leeds, of Santa Fe, has issued an injunction restraining the strikers from Interfering with the property of the company in New Mexico.

TIKI) IP IX MOXT.WA. I nil in n it - Cn r ToarUt Given Mure Time for SiRht Seeing. . HELENA. Mont., June 27. Tne first effects of the Pullman, boycott were seen to-day when the east-bound Northern Pacific, train arrived. Last night the westbound train was bound up at Livingston, and the superintendeAi of the Montana division ordered the east-bound train to be killed when it got to Helena. This was done, and the two hundred passengers that were aboard are scattered about the city, sightseeing. There has been no excitement of any . kind. On the Montana dlvteidn, extending from Helena to Livingston, r.ot a wheel is moving. This Is due to the fact that the shopmen at the latter point have taken advantage of. the Pullman boycott to present their demands for an Increase of pay, and, in sympathy with them, other employes have gone out on that division. Thre are a lot of tourists at Livingstonand at National Park who have - bren caught in the tie-up. No freight is moving east of Helena in this State, but lrom Helena west freight trains are operated. The Great Northern, which runs its own sleeping cars, is running all right, and today, for the first time in two months, began running through trains to the sound. MAILS XOT DELAY 1-21). The DeltnltrN Xot Anxlon for Trouble with Uncle Sam, WASHINGTON. June 27.-The boycott waged against the Pullman company has not as yet resulted In any delay in the mails. In the absence of the Postmaster-general, First Assistant Postmastergeneral Jones said to-day that he anticipated no postal interference or Interruptions from that cause. "The stringent regulations governing interference Aith the mails," he said, "will undoubtedly prevent any delays occurring to the mailcarrying trains. No delays of any kind have been reported, and I do not expect that the postal service will in any way be affected. Until now the subject has not been broached." The fact that those who directed the campaign of employes against the railroad during the recent Great Northern strike are the same who led in the Pullman movement is looked upon as an indication that the postal service will not bi affected. Protection Demanded by (lie Santa Fc. DENVER, Col., June 27. The Santa Fe Railroad Company has applied to the federal court here and at Santa Fe.for protection for Its trains. Marshals i.vill be sent from Denver to La Junta. CoL, and from Santa Fe to Raton, N. M. Owing to the Pullman boycott no through trains are running on the Santa Fe. Five trains are held at Baton. N. M.. and one at La Junta. Col. The officers of the company are determined not to move the trains jvlthout the Pullmans, and can nnd no trainmen to handle the cars. The through passenger trains are being held at La Junta, Col., or account of the boycott. Some forty firemen have been discharged for refusing to go out on these trains, and one engineer from the south end. The company Is feeding about one hundred passengers. Ju-rlge Hallet has f?ucd an order restraln--lng the Pullman strikers or other persons from interfering with the operation of the Fanta Fe Railway Company or with employes within the confines of Colorado. Xot Yet Felt nt Omaha. OMAHA, Neb., June 27. The boycott on the Pullman company is not being felt hero directly at present, but the Indications are that It will be a factor in railroad circks in this vicinity shortly. The American Railway Union members are more numerous at small points west than at Omaha, and it is thought trouble will occur there. This applies to the division towns on the Union Pacific, the Burlington, the Rock Island and the Missouri Pacific. Local members of the A. R. U. pretend not to be much Interested in the developments, but some slight alarm Is felt on account of the attitude of some of the members at Nebraska points where it is thought the men will refuse to switch or handle trains carrying Pullmans. To Desln nt Cincinnati To-Day, CINCINNATI, O., June 27. About live hundred switchmen and yardmen from Ludlow, Ky., met here last night and resolved to boycott Pullman cars to-morrow, beginning with the Cincinnati Southern. This meeting- represented less thin onetenth of the local men. At Pullman's shops at Ludlow elrjhty-four men worked to-day. To-morrow the number will be. increased to 1U8, within twenty of the number of strikers. Judge Taft, of the United States Circuit Court, has, at the reouest of Receiver Felton. made United States deputy marshals of the trainmen who will run trains on th Queen & Crescent road to-mor-row. The same has been done in Covington, Ky. Tronble nt Cairo. CAIRO, 111., ju.e zh &witchmen belonging to the American Railway Union cut out a Pullman sleeper attached tc a Mobile & Ohio train which arrived from St. Louis to-day. Leaving the Union Depot the switchmen went to the Illinois. Central Depot and uncoupled a Pulman coach. Supt. Baker coupled it again ana the train proceeded without further trouble. This afternoon two Pullman coaches arrived, and one was afterwards coupler and. chained to a train made up to leav? for Chicago at 3 p. m. Two switchmen broke the chains, and uncoupling ths coach ran it back Into the yards. "Warned Xot to Interfere. MINNEAPOLIS. June 27.-The Northern Pacific has posted up notices calling th attention of its men to the fact that it owns ?. half Interest In the Pullmans It runs r.r.d warning them not to Interfere with their operation. All trains carryin? Pullman's left In regular shape to-day. QVIET AT EVDIAXAPOLIS. No Pullninn Cars Yet Stopped -AY lint a. Hallway Official &ny. Present indications are that the J?ullman strike will not be felt much at Indianapolis. In speaking of the matter a railroad official said last evening: "There has b?en a' thorough investigation of the question of the hold that the American Railway Union has upon railroad men located here. There are two local lodges; one has over 10 members, while the other had on Sunday but 116 members, and a large per c:nt. of the membership of each la employes on the Big Four lines, with a sprinkling on the Lake Erie & Western, the Indianapolis, D:catur & Western, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Monon. As the Pullman cars run In here are used only on the Pennsylvania, the Vandalia lines, the Cincinnati, Hamilton &. Dayton and the Monon, It will be seen that the members of th? Indianapolis local unions, have bit little Interest In the strike so far as Indianapolis is, concerned, as the Big Four ruas only Wagner equipment, except one line between St. Louis and Washington. D. C. and this can readily be changed to Wagner cars. The switchmen of Indianaroiis who were expected to do most .of the mschlef in preventing the movement of car., have experlrnced two bitter lessons. Ma;iy have cither taken part in previous strikes or have seen thoe who were associated with them out of jobs, hunting work for many months, and then not'gatlng places by anj means as agreeable a3 those thev enjoyed at Indianapolis. Tneir experiences have set about one-half of the switch mm on roads here bitterly "against all unions. Since then the local Switcnmon's Union has been a weakling. Then.' continued the o Tidal, "the charactfr of (leorge Howad, the chief leader In the Amerle.in Ua'lwav Union. is so well known here that the men are wise enough not to follow him in any advice he may give." But ft- peons are aware how much trouble could be given the sleeping-car companies at this point if the class of rren who usually lead in the stopping of trains should undertake it. An ofilcial gives the number of sleeping cars which arrive and depart at Indianapolis every twenty-four hours as forty-two. Of that number twenty are Wegner cars and twenty-two Pullman cars, and of the forty-two ten are loeak sleepers running brtween Indlanapol's and S. Louis and Indianapolis an!

Ind., June 27. John Paris was called to the stand again this morning by Mr. Shirley. The witness carried himself with the same wonderful coolness that marked his direct testimony given yesterday. His statement in regard to his assets was shaken somewhat, but taking it all In all. If anything the witness strengthened his case by his prompt answers to the questions put to him by the State. Mr. Shirley confined his examination principally to Paris's assets prior to April, 1833. He gave his liabilities as $37,000 aside from his losses as stockholder in the broken bank, which was about EO.OCO, and said that his property Interests at that time were about $100,000. P. M. Dawson was called to rebut the evidence of ex-Governor Chase, and said that Chase had told him the Greentown bank was in first-class condition. being backed by the Columbia National; that Paris was worth $75,000 and Dwiggins $000,000. Chase had shown him the bank vault .ind said no securities but gilt edge were accepted. Dr. Scott had also conversed with Chase in the Greentown bank and Chase said Dwiggins was worth from $.-,00,000 to $1,000,000: that the bank didn't need money but influence. Messrs. Parker, Greenstreet, and Temple were also called to rebut the evidence of Mr. Chase, showing the representations and statements of Chase concerning the condition and responsibility of the Greentown bank. At 10:30 o'clock the State rested and the attorneys retired for consultation as to the time desired to be taken in argument. . Jt was agreed that there would be three speeches on each side, each speaker being limited to two and one-half hours. Captain Bell opened for the State at 1:00 o'clock, followed by Klrkpatrick for the defense, and Prosecutor Wolf. Judge O'Hrian will follow with S. O. Bayle3s and C. C. Shirley closing. Judge Wlnfield, the chief counsel for the defendant, is ill at his home in Logansport. The case will go to the Jury tomorrow. OXE ROIXD FOR REACH. The Terre Ilunte Ilnnker Aciiultted on One Indictment. . ' Special to trie ln.iianapolia Journal.' TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 27,-Under instruction of the court, and with only the preliminary examination7 of oe witness, the Jury in the Beach case this morning returned a verdict of not guilty. This secures him against another prosecution on the charge of embezzling money which came into liis hands while he was ac.ing as trustee for the bondsmen of City Treasurer Fitzpatrick. who was a defaulter when he left the office, but the prosecution has decided to take' the question of law in dispute to the Supreme Court. It is an important one, because if the Supreme Court construes Section 1932 as the defense In this case did, and as Judge White was inclined to do. It will leave the Indiana law without a statute under which a person acting as a trustee in a private capacity can be convicted of embezzlement. There are yet five indictments against Beach. The defense has moved to quash the others, on the ground that the title of the act is faulty in the respect that it does not plainly state the object of the law. Judge White has fixed upon Aug. 21 for the consideration of the cases. After the case was disposed of to-day a suit was brought In the Sup3rior Court by Henry Wyeth, a depositor In the Prairie City Bank, to set aside two mortgages which lieach gave for valuable property before he made an assignment. One mortgage was to W. It. McKeen to cover a loan of $l'j,000, and one to John G. Williams 'as trustee for the protection of Beach's bondsmen as treasurer of the Terre Haute Savings bank. The plaintiff represents the d?positors. There Is a good deal of Indignation among, the depositors over the escape of Be3Ch from a trial, and they want to push this case against him to recover their money, if possible. INTERSTATE SIIOOTIXG.
