(MOT mo AT BEST. OBSEQUIES OVER FRANCE'S MURDERED PRESIDENT. A Sad, Imposing Pageant?President Caslmlr-Perier Walks in the Procession?Beautiful Floral Tributes ?Services at Washington?Germany's Graceful Tribute. The body of the late President Sadi-Carnot, the murdered Chief Magistrate of France, struck down by the hand of Santo Cesario, the Anarchist, at .L.yons, W03 UtJ- 1 posited in the Pantheon at Pari3, just one week after the cruel deed was done, by the aide of the remains of his grandfather, Lazare Carnot, the "Organizer of Victory." The funeral was made the occasion for one of the most remarkable civic and military displays in the history of France, and was in itself a vivid object lessoD, showing the respect France had for her President and the abhorrence with which his assassination is regarded. 8uch was the anxiety of the masses to be present along the line of route followed by the procession that crowds of people began to Rather along the Champs Elysees, the Rue de Rivoli and about the streets on the He de la Cite, upon which Notre Dame stands, from early the preceding evening. And at the positions which they had selected the people camped all night. By 3 o'clock a. m. the streets along the route were already crowded and by 6 o'clock the Place de la Concorde was black with people. The house tops, windows and balconies of every house along the line of march and every other point of vantage were occupied, fabulous sums of money having been paid for the use of houses, windows and balconies from whioh to view the funeral procession. All classes of people, young and old, rich and poor, crowded to the funeral from all parts of Paris and from every department of France. At 9 o'clocfc a. m. the whole route of the procession was packed in a manner whioh was never before seen in Paris. The weather ' * I -Lx *V? A Kftftf Drtftn wa? gloriously ori^m, uui um ow. ~w came almost intolerable. It vras exactly 10.25 a. m. when the pro c^-'on began its maroh toward the Cathedral of Sotro Dame. A squadron of Republican Guards emerged from the grounds of rHn palace and proceeded slowly down the Avenue Marigny toward the Avenue Gabriel and the Champs Elysees, the band of the guards playing a funeral march. All the tcoops presented arms and the people uncovered their heads in the majority of oases in spite of the blazing sun, whioh was beating down upon the pavements. Following the band ot the Garde Bepubllcaine came four of the principal attendants of the Elysee, with tricolor cocardes in k their hats and bearing President CaslmirPerier's splendid wreath ofrosn nnd palms across two poles. Following th;s floral emblem ot grief came two carriage* containing the priests who were to escort the body to Notre Dame. Then came a six-horse funeral car, black and imposing, whioh had been usM at the funerals of Presidents Thiers an I MacMahon. The casket was covered with the trl-color of France and was heavily draped with crepe. There were uo flowers on the funeral car. T?n cars piled full of wreaths followed. The first contained the wreaths sent by members of the Senate, oomposed of orohids and asters with a mauve background. In the second car were the wreaths of the Chamber of Deputies,consisting of superb roses,orohids and lilacs. These cars were followed by those containing the contributions of the provincial authorities and the foreign representatives. The procession its?lf was like that which escorted Marshal MacMahon and Thiers to the grave except for the flowers. That was the feature which excited the wonder and admiration of all - beholders. The eyes of man never before looked upon such glories of na^ ture'8 handiwork. Not onlv the gariens and fields of France, but Germany, England and other countries added to the matchless floral treasures whioh were massed upon nine great cars in the procession. Ther? were no les3 than 1200 wreaths, some of almost unprecedented beauty. Then came a band with muffled drums, and then the wreaths contributed by the royalties, all of which were carried upon trestles by cadets from the St. Cyr Military 8ehool and preceded by the wreaths sent by President Casimir-Perier. f The next in order were the coaches conveying the clergy, which were immediately Jn front of the hearse. The hearse was flanked by a guard of honor- composed oJ. cadets from the ficole PoIyfechn:<fue, and was drawn by six splendidly caparisoned horses. The coffin was hiddec beneath the folds of silk tri-color flags, grouped front and back. M. Camot's servants, in livery, came next, with the dead President's family, his threa sons walking in the first line, and his brother, Adolphe Carnot, and his cousins and son-inlaw behind. Mme. Carnot was not present, being completely prostrated by the excitement of the week. < Behind the civil household walked President Casimir-Perier. cool, calm and bare-* beaded, with the cordon of Grand Master of the Legion of Honor across his breast. The people were immensely pleased by CaslmirPerler's defiance of precedent In appearing in the funeral procession. If his position in th? line had not been close to the hearse the multitude would undoubtedly have cheered the new President. It was a mark, too, oi his characteristic oourage, for he h&d received no less than four threats of death by the knife, bullet or bomb if he followed the body of hts predecessor to the tomb. The President was surrounded by General Bonius, chief of the military household, - and by all the other officers of the military household. Behind tbem came the Presl-dents of the two Chambers, M. ChaliemelLaconr, President of the Senate, and M. de Hahy, Acting President of the Chamber of Deputies. .The Ambassadors and thft staffs -of the different embassies, all in full unlform, followed, f The plain black evening dress of Unl-ted States Ambassador Eustis was in striking contrast to the brilliant costumes of the other foreign diplomats with whom he walked in procession. Senators and Deputies were in evening dress and wore trl-colored sashes, the judges were in flowing robes, according to their grade, ermined or of plain black water silk; etc., and the faculties of the schools oflaW and letters wore yellow or purple, and th<j academicians green embroidered coa's and trousers and carried swords. A detachment of veterans from the Hotel des Invalides. carrying a trestle upon which wasaa irmense wreath, were loudly applauded as they passed. Behind them were the Cabinet Ministers, headed by Premier Dupuy. The Cardinals and nearly all the Senators and Deputies had the next place In the procession, preoedtng th<) personal friends of the family and the leading military and naval officers of the republic. The remainder of the funeral cortege was composed of deputations from the various ; department# of the Govenments, the jegtoa of Honor, the different institutes, the olergy and others. Marshal Canrobert, the last of the M?> hals of France, who was supported by twc officers and two beautiful young girls repre tenting Alsace and Lorraine, was applauded all along the line of maroh. The procession reaohed the Cathau;"aJ ol Notre Dame at noon, where a moat improsi'. t slve scene was witnessed. As the casket was taken from the funeral oar the officers all saluted together, the troops presented arms, the trumpets rang out a grant salute, the muffled drums rolled like distant thunder and the bells tolled mournfully. The Archbishop of Paris. Cardinal Rlohard, then emerged from the cathelral, followed Ibythe Whole chaptei, and officiated at the iremoval of the casket, which was carried ; slowly into the sacred edifice. Saint-Saens iplayed the B9ethoved funeral maroh. Notre iDame was a mass of black and silver intermixed with ermine. The banner of Joan of Arc wa3 veiled with crepe. The clergy, headed by the Archbishop of (Paris, prece led the bier up the aisle to a .monumental catafalque in the middle of the transept. President Casimir-Perler took his seat in the private inclosure around the pulpit. Behind him were seated the members of the late President's civi\ and military household. The first row of chairs was occupied by M. Carnot's sons, his brother and his son-in-law. The second row was occupied by Premier Dupuy and other Ministers. In tho other rows of seats sat th? members of the Diplomatic Corps and the .official delegations. .. T. - 1.'+ \PsC: !. /* " ' . The choirs of Notre Dame and the Conservatoire de Mu9ique executed the liturgical chants and two numbers of Gounod's "Morse et Yita," M. Felix Paure. the famous baritone, being the soloist. Before pronouncine the absolution the Archbishp of Paris delivered an allocution. The religions ceremony in the cathedral was concluded at 2 p. m., when the procession reformed and prooeeded across the rivortothe Pantheon. The funeral car and its escort arrived at the Pantheon at 2.50 p. m.. amid the booming of a salute of 101 guns flred by a park of artillery. At the Pantheon the casket was removed amid a trumpet salute and the dull roll of muffled drums. Withi* the Pantheon a huge black canopy fell from the ceiling to the floor, and under this the body of the dead President was placed. .ThejjEaalqgjras the.8amg-aa.at .the funeral of Victor Hugo. M. Chaiiemel-Lacour delivered an oration on behalf of the Senate. M. de Mahy, First Vice-President of the Chamber of Depcttea, pronounced an oration on behalf of the body, in which he expressed the deep sorrow, coupled with the feeling of intense indignation which i3 universally felt. Premier Dupuy, on behalf of the Government, spoke with great feeling and impressiveness. General Andre feelingly responded In the name of the Carnot family and their friends. After the speeches the coffin was taken to the porch, where it was plaoed between urn3 ot smoking incense. All the troops of the Paris garrison and of the suburbs then marched past. The members of the Carnot family, President Casimir-Perier, the representatives ot foreign powers, and the delegations from the judiciary and the departments, and hundreds of others, stood on the steps while the military filed by. At 5 o'olock the march past was over, and the rapresentatives of the Government left. The numerous delega- [ tions began bringing their wreaths a few I minutes later, but not until 7 o'clock were the last oT the flowers laid on the porcb. The coSin was placed temporarily ia the | crypt between the bo lies ot Ross9au and | Victor Hugo. It stands on a structure resembling an altar draped in black. Later i It will be placed in the vault beside that of Lazare Carnot. Mourning Throughout Europe. Requiem services In honor of M.

The Last Monthly Announcement From the United States Treasury Department Makes the Deficit $69,000,000?The Gold Reserve Less?Decreased Expenditures. The monthly public debt statement and statement of receipts and expenditures Issued from the United States Treasury Department presents a very unfavorable showing of Government fiscal operations in the last montn, as well as for the fiscal year just closed. In June there was a net Increase in the debt of $250,000, i the sold reserve decreased nearly $14,000, 000," and receipts from all sources compared with June, 1893, fell off more than $4,000,000. The public debt is shown to have increased $60,000,000 in the last twelve months. There was in June a trifling increase in the interest-bearing debt (50), a decrease of $269,900 in the Treasury surplus, and a decrease of $18,794 in the non-interesl-bearing debt, making altogether a net increase in the debt in the month of $251,156. The total debt, lew $117,583,436 surplus in fhe Treasury, is $899,313,381, against $838.W>9,476 on July 1, 1893, or an increase dui>? ing the year just olosed of more than $60,000,000. Of the entire debt, $635,041,890 is interest-bearing debt, mainly four per cent, bonds, and this amount is $50,000,000 more than the bonded indebtedness a year ago, or before the $50,000,000 loan of last February j was issued. Treasury gold assets aggregate $131,217,433, against which there are cold certificates outstanding amounting to $66,344,409, leaving a gold reserve of $64,873,024, or about $1,000,000 less than at the time of the bond issue last February, nearly $31,000,000 less 1 thon on July 1, 1893, and $45,000,000 less J than on July 1, 1892, when the Treasury gold reserve was more than $14,000,000 above the $100,000,000 greenback reserve mark. Some Treasury officials anticipate a large falling off in gold exportation at once, and think that the tide will turn the other way before the month is out. Silver assets aggregate $513,298,709, against which there is outstanding $461,956,390 in silver certificates and silver Treasury notes, leaving a silver reserve of $51,342,319. The Treasury store of silver is made up in round numbers of $368,000,000 in standard silver dollars, $127,000,000 in bullion, and $18,000,000 in subsidiary coin. Government receipts last month aggre gated $26,485,925, or $4,250,000 less than in Jane, 1893. Customs receipts were only $8,858,876, or lully $6,000,000 less than In June a year ago, while internal revenue receipts, owing to unusually heavy withdrawals of spirits from bond, were for the month $15,178,898, or $1,000,000 more than in June, 1893. Expenditures last month were $25,557,021, or $3,250,000 less than in June, 1893. Government receipts from all sources tor the fiscal year just closed aj?{?rejjated $296,690,336, against $385,819,659 in the preceding year, a comparative loss of about $89,000,000. Seventy-one millions of this resulted from the large falling off in customs receipts, which for the year just closed amounted, in round numbers, to only $132,000,000, against $203,000,000 in the preceding year. Internal revenue receipts for the year just closed were $147,000,000, or fully $14,000,000 less than in the preceding year. Expenditures for the year just closed aggregated $366,593,359, or $16,884,595 less than the expenditures In the preceding year. Reduced pension payments for the year just olosed account for more than this comparative net reduction in expenditures, the pension charges for the last year being $141,177,285, or fully ^$18,000,000 less man in me preueui ;c?. War Department expenditures last year were $54,357,600, or $6,000,000 more than the preceding year. Other slight comparative decreases In civil and miscellaneous expenditures and for the eupport of the Indians make the net reduction in expenditures last year, compared with the preceding year, as before stated, about $17.000,000. KILLED IN A WRECK. An Express on the Canadian Pacific Goes Through a Trestle. A terrible wreck occurred to the Montreal express, going east, ou the Canadian Paciflo Bailway, on a trestle over the west outlet to Moosehead Lake, some twelve miles from Greenville, Me., about seven o'olock a. m. The train was proceeding at its ordinary rate of speed when it struck the trestle. The engine and baggage, mail, second class and smoking cars went over the trestle into a rocky gorge, some twenty-Ave feet below. It was a wooden trestle, with an iron bridge In the centre. About forty feet of the western end of the trestle collapsed beneath the | train. The sleeping car was the only one that did not go into the gorg?, bat that was thrown on its side in the gulleys. The dead and injured were afterward put aboard a car and taken to Greenville Junction, where they were carried to Moosehead Inn, which was turned into a hospital. Coroner W. H. Haa9on. of Jackman, was notified. He soon arrived on the scene and started an inquest. The following were killed: Fred Foss, Canadian Pacific station agent at Greenville Junction, scalded to death; single. G. C. Hoyr, or Fort Fairfield, Me., riding-second class. Fro i Leavitt, engineer of the train, residing in M"gantic, Canada, married; was crushed under the engine. "Walter Starkey. mail clerk, home in St. John, New Bruuswisk, head crushed and mangled. Unknown man, riding secondclass. killed uuilpr th" wrecn. NEW MONEY ORDER. Rates for Sending Money by Mail Have Been Reduced. Since July 1 there has been on sale .at the postofflces throughout the United State3 the new Government money order, by which large and small sums can" be transmitted by letters with safety, and at rates much les9 than at present. Orders for 82.50 or less can be had for 3 ceuts. and orders for larger amounts up to $100 at rates graduated up to 80 conts. The schedule for fees for the new money order has been reduced to the basis now charged by the various express companies for transmitting money, and will be as follows : For $2.50 or less, 3 cents ; $2.50 to $5, 5 cents; $5 to $10, 8 cents $10 to $20, 10 cents $20 to $30, 12 cents; $30 to $40. 15 cents ; $40 to $50, 18 cents $50 to $60, 20 aents $60 to $70, 25 cents : $75 to $100, 30 cents. The new money order, by a system of coupons serving as check, both upon purchaser and postmaster, is apt to prove a satisfactory solution of the long mooted question of reissuing fractional currency. trTTTT?n rnnb "rappcj XllllJUiJL' 1UUXI JU11 IJXJhJt Awful Crime of an Innane Woman In Vermont.

The Gorman compromise Tariff bill passed the Senate at 10.45 o'clock p. m., on the day set for the final vote after a continuous and eventful session of more than twel ve hours, and after a struggle which had lasted three months and one daj*. The majority for the bill was five, the vote beins: 39 yeas to 34 nays. Senator Hill voted against the bill. With the exception of Hill the Democratic side acted with perfect discipline and sustained the decree of the caucus, senator irDy, wno nas usjurea in all calculations as an uncertain quantity, supported the bill, and the two Populist Senators, Kyle and Allan, who had of late displayed disturbing symptoms of dissatisfaction, recorded themselves with the Democratic majority. Two Populists ? Peffer and Stewart?voted with Hill and the Republicans. Every Senator voted or was paired. The vote in detail was : Yeas?Messrs. Allen, Bate, Berry. Blackburn, Blanchnrd, Caffery, Call, Cockrell, Coke, Daniel. Faulkner. George, Gibson, Gorman. Gray, Harris, Hunton, Irbv.

The pairs were as follows, the first named beinar for and the others against the bill Brice with Wolcott; Butler with Cameron Camden with Pettlgrew; Gordon with Wilson ; Pugh with Ho ir; McPherson with Morrill. The end of the Ion? and exciting struggle was not lacking in dramatic features, although it was devoid of any enthusiastic demonstrations. The scene which marked the passing of the bill in the House found no parallel in the climax of the Senate debate. No flowers graced the desks of the defenders of the opposite economic systems. No soul-3tirrinEf oratory preceded the de ' 4Ka CIS1V0 VOCO. JL/ciiiiUU[-<tiii: iiaiiuuuj in mr. Senate wa9 sustained by the binding force of a caucus decree. The sharp metallic voice of Senator Hill raised in denunciation of the bill strongly illustrated the sontrast between the Senate and the House. It was 10 o'clock to the minute, according to the venerable and respected clock over the main doorway, when the heavy fusillade of amendments, which had continued throughout the day, stopped, and the Senate was ready to vote on the bill. Instantly the chamber became stilled. Every seat in the chamber was occupied. The galleries were crowded and the space on the floor back of the Senate circle was filled with Representatives. Vice-President Stevenson announced that the bill would be read a third time, and then came the explanation from various Senators of their votes. Senator Smith, of New Jersey, arose in his place, and began in a loul voice to explain the vote he was about to record. Senator ' Vest, ot the Finance Committee, wheeled about wearily in his chair, and Senator Harris, who was impatient for a vote, rolled up tho sleeves of his alpaca coat and leaned his bead in u tired way on his hand. Senator Smith read his "statement in a monotonous tone, and Senator Harris looked gloomier as the New Jersey Senator continued to turn over the leavos of manuscript in his hand. Then came Senator Allen. Senator Hill wound up the speech making, or, rather, speech reading, by defending his course. Then came the vote. Mr. Blanchard failed to vote and Mr. Cillery caused much excitement by voting no. Senators Jones and test, of the committee, glanced at the Louisiana Senators in amazement, and Senator Gorman, who engineered the compromise, couid not disguise his surprise. When Irby's name was reached he voted aye, and the Democratic leaders regained their courage. After the vote had been concluded Senator CafTrey made the statement that he had voted not to emphasize his indignation over the fact that Democrats had broken the caucus pledge to protect the planters so that they would get this year's bounty, tor nafffflv then chaneed his vote to aye. Mr. Blanchard also voted aye. !The vote was then announced by the Vice-President, and there was some applause in the sralleries. On Senator Harris's motion Vice-President Stevenson then appointed the following conferrees on the bill Voorhees, Harris, Vest, Jones, Sherman. Aldrich and Allison. The Senate then adjourned. KED TAPE OUT OFF. The Reorganization of the United States War Department. The reorganization of the War Department recently ordered by Secretary Lamont, and which is the result of months of study of the various systems of the Department, has gone Into effect. The sweeping orders of the Secretary, which reduce the force of the Department from 2200 to less than 1200, have naturally caused widespread excitement and throughout all the bureaus. Almost all the cumbrous system that has been built up in the past thirty years has been radically modified, and in addition to the great saving in clerk hire that is expected to result, a large number of army officers are detached and orderad to rejoin their commands. There are now eleven officers on duty as ;issistant adjutant-generals, five assistauts each to the surgeongeneral and the quartermaster-general, and the same number to the chief of ordnance, and all the other bureaus have various assistants. The new order permits only one assistant to each chief, although under speoial circumstances a second officer may be detailed for similar duty, but all the others must go, and so must the clerks that have heretofore been needed to carry out the duplication upon duplication of the red tape system that is said to exist. The system of correspendence is changed, by whioh about half of the communications which n?w reach the Department will receive neither reply nor acknowledgment. The voluminous annual reports will hereafter be eonflued to succinct narratives, and no one in the Department will hereafter write books or ensure in any literary work without spfoiul Dt?rmi??ion.

THE PULLMAH BOYCOTT.! j THE STEUGGLE OFTHE AMEE^ ICAN BAIL WAT UNION. The Federal Troops Called Out to Assist the United States Marshall In Protecting the Property of the Allied Kallroads?The Extent of the Strike?Washington News. The presence of the United States Regulars in Chicago, ordered oat to assist the railroads in protecting their property from the members of the American Railway Union, who went on strike and declared a boycott against all Pullman care in order to compel that corporation to restore the wages of the Pullman employes to tne original | figure, did not end the disorder, as soon as was expected. : ' A dispatch from Chicago says : The Fourth of July was almost a mockery la Chicago. The day was made the occasion for a big, 4 bonfire, but it was not in the way of cele-i bration. As If in defiance of the oalling; out of the federal troops came an aotj of incend<<>.rlsm against the allied i railroads. Almost the first news of the National holiday was a reoort of the firing of a number of cars at West Pullman in the Blue Island district of the Boole Island road. The blaze wm started just far enough away to be out of quick reach of the detachment of Federal troops sent to that point from Fort Sheridan. The reports placed the nuai-: ber of oars burned at nearly a dozen, all' freight. With rifles leveled and revolvers drawn, half of the Second Battalion, Fifteenth Begiment, United States Infantry, proceeded through a dense crowd of more than 5000 men, boys, women and children to their oamp in the Stock Yards. The train left the Lake Shore depot early in the morning, but at 6 o'clock p. m. was still on a side track, not where the managers intended it to be, but close enough for the boys in blue to unioad their horses, ammunition, four Hotchlciss rifled cannon and supplies, and go into camp, a wearied and jaded lot of men, not having o1a<-%+ frtf. f TTT-anf T-_fr?n r* hnnffl And wifhnilfr' food, with the exception of a single hastily, snatched meal, daring that time. The day was a trying one for the troops and the police, and one of Intense excitement from daybreak until ntght. Besides the 150 men composing Companies C and D of the Fifteenth Infantry, there were the cavalry and artillery and a squad of seveaty-flve policemen. On the latter fell the brunt of keeping in control a crowd wild with excitemant and inflamed by passion. The troubSe began early in the morning.; At 8 o'clock Swift & Co. tried to move their stalled meat train, eastbound. which the strikers had held in durance for forty-elght| hours. Every obstacle was placed in the way of the employes of the big packer, and It was 11.30 before the train could be started out on its long journey. Even then the troops were obliged to charjre the crowd with bayonets, before which, like a flock of frightened sheep, it fell back and permitted the train to move. Six times the train was uncoupled by the strikers or their sympathizers, in spite of the fact that on every car sat the bronzed and seasoned army men, who had seen service and knew how to shoot, and who declared they would do so if any man attempted to interfere with the train. This they would have done,but the strikers were too agile for them. Before the rifles could be aimed the offenders would be back in the midst of the crowd, where it would have been worse than folly to shoot, jeering and hooting at the discomfited military. Only once did the soldiers look calmly on at two persons uncoupling the train, and. although they had plenty of time to shoot, failed to do so. In this case the persons were women. The scene was noteworthy when Engineer Wfann onrl Pipnmnn Culn hofh flmnlorM Of the Lake Shore road, who had been running the engine pulling the military train all day, concluded to quit. With wild cheara the crowd rushed at the two men and despite their resistance picked them op and bore them aloft for a distance of three or four blocks. Of course this settled the question of moving for the night. After the troops had abandoned their trata and gone Into camp the crowd derailed the two rear oars of the train and then, satisfied with their day's work, and finding no more soldiers or policemen to harass, they quietly dispersed. Fifteen Pan Handle freight cars were burned at Forty-seventh street, Ohicago, by a crowd of strikers and their friends. Trouble broke out at Hammond, Ind., In connection with the bovcott of Pullman cars. Kb train No. 8 on the Erie pulled in from Chicago on time at 4 p. m. it was attaoked by about 160 men and cut In two. Two Pullman cars were cut off and the balance of the train was taken East. The persons attacking the train were not Hammond strikers, but were men who were forced away from Grand Crossing by the arrival of Federal troops at the latter place. By the time the deputy sheriffs arrived at the train; about 600 strikers were on nana, ana wnoa the deputies made a demand for the cars cut off they were told they could not have them. On a request from United States Marshal Briuton Governor Altsreld ordered six companies ot the Fourth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, to Mounds, near Cairo, to assist in maintaining order and to release Illi-: nois Central mail trains. Six companies of the Fourth Regiment, Illinois National! Guard, arrived at Mounis to raise the embargo on Illinois Central freight trains da-' tained there by the strike. The Governor ot Iowa ordered the Fourth Regiment, except Company K, to 81oux: City. The Wyoming troops reached Pueblo to aid in moving mails. Freight routes by wagon were established. In all directions from Fargo, North Dakota, for 100 miles, and took mail. Farmers feared that the strike would Interfere with getting" twine and machinery for harvest. The strikers in Oakland. Cal., held up local trains and pulled off the firemen and brakemen. The militia got ready to take the field. In Sacramento the troops refused J lo disperse the strikers, and finally marohed I i 1- nnmAxioc rtrit hrmf a^Amnllahlnap UiJCn. IU U1CU OJU1WUWO <, anything. The strikers in Oakland spiked the switches, and the track at Sixteenth street and beyond there eastward. This was dona to prevent trains with military from passing. In Los Anjjelos the sympathy of all classes seemed to be with tbe American Railway Union, while ribbon sympathy badges were in demand and were generally worn. A dispatch from Washington gave th? following resume : ''United States troops to the Held in active operation against striking; 'i railroad employes at Chicago, 111., Los | Angeles, Cal., Raton, New Mexico, and Trinidad, Col. ; threatening danger at Helena, Montana, a call for State troops from the United States Marshals at Sacramento, Cal., to protect railroad property, represented condition of the railroad, strike as gathered from offloial dispatches received by the Attorney-General and the War Department.
