2 the Oakland mole was concerned, with the exception, of course, of the locals to Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda, which ran hourly. The boats were crowded all day and the trains were a perfect jam. The narrow gauge, wnich had been so ceatly and completely tied np Saturday, did not move a wheel yesterday, and is nut likely to for days to come. ON BAY AND RIVER. Steamers Are Pressed Into Service to Carry Passengers.

The bones of the river-boat service of California are being fatteued by the traffic that had up to the time of the strike been fed to the railroads. The steamboat purser, ihe freight-handler and the ticketseller are earning their salaries with a vengeance. The river-boat service has demonstrated that the State is not altogether in the control of the monopoly, bu' in time of transportation peace the rivers had been overlooked. They are now suffering from an insufficiency of earners. It will be useless for passengers who desire to reach poiuts on the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers to apply for berthroom any time before the morrow, for every stateroom on every steamer that is billed to depart from this city for the interior bas been engaged in advance.

Deck-room is even at a premium, and the lordly mosquito of the lowlands will be given such opportunities to Hum antirailroad melodies into the ears of "deck passengers" as he lias never before been accorded since the days when tne steam- boat was the only means of comnmuica- tipn between San Francisco and the capital. hundred tired souls with luggage enough to turn a transfer company green with envy, and several so-called "scab" firemen and engineers arrived early yesterday morning at the steamer Modoc, bound for Sacramento. Water-front sympathiz- ers with the strikers had not yet begun to gatner at the duck, but a delegation of persons who hailed from Oakland boardpd the vessel just before the cast-off and attempted to convince her crew that it wouM only be fair nf them to uphold the cause of labor by refusing to do duty. AJI arguments were useless. The boatmen said that uld not afford to quit work, and the Midoc got safely away with her big load of freight and people.

"Don't come back with her, Jimmy," shouted a tall man in a checked shirt to one of the deckhands as the vessel cast off from the wharf. "All right," answered tbe man addressed, and this was the only demonstration of the occasion. At Washington-street wharf the Captain Weber ami Mary Garratt sailed at 7 i o'clock and 10 o'clock respectively. The w.as at hand ready to start off at 5 o'clock on her regular trip. These steamers all beloug to the Stockton route.

Several hundred people who live in towns near to Stockton and Sacramento stated that they expected to get home by telegraphing ahead for teatus to meet and convey them to their ranches. Water-front fruit-venders hnve been; buying fruit uptown cheaper than they ever did before, and cherries, apricots and peaches were offered at reduced rates. Steamers had fetched down a quantity of I fruit that was packed for Eastern ship- ment, the growers despairing of ever getting it to its intended destination. "We may send down several tons of choice fruit by the river, transferring it to ocean steamers for shipment to north," said a fruit-grower. San Francisco will get the benefit of the fruit glut, for there are tons of it that will have to be forced on the market here if the blockade continues.

"Near Milton and arour. 1 Davisville the loss to fruitmen will be sericus and some- thing will have to be done pretty soon to relieve the situation. "How do the country foiks view the strike? Well, we'll stand by the men an long as we can, but how long will that be? "Just see what a cinch the railroads have on us. The country will be ruined, literally bankrupted, because the Southern Pacific sees fit to help Mr. Pullman out of his difficulty." The ferries to Oakland ran on the hour throughout the day and the creek -route carried thousands who did not care to take any chaucet of being tied up at the mole.

Sunday travel was not what it usually is, and many of the people who thronged the ferry depot during the day were there simply through curiosity. A -couple of detecti vet in citizens' clothes invaded the waiting-rooms in the afternoon, but there was nothing in particular for them to do except keep an eye open for suspects. The police officers on duty were aot subjected to as many crons-exitninatioas relative to delayed trains as they had been on previous days of the trouble, for the public bad commenced to be acquainted with the mode of running boats to aud fro from the mole and pier. There was a breeze of decided excitement created when a stout politician from Sacramento, who had been sleeping for several days and nights in the cozy apart- ments of a Turkish bathhouse to get rid of several overdoses of whisky imbibed at a recent quiet little dinner, came waddling into the depot and demanded why it was that trains were not running. "There's been a strike," said a railroad man, calmly.

"A what?" demanded the politician, suddenly impressed with tbe idea that he had not kept posted on tbe news. "Yes, a strike. All the trains are tied up; can't get to Sacramento except by boat." The "man of influence" beived a sigh, and turning to the. railroad man remarked loudly: "San Francisco liquor would cause any man to forget he over lived In the nineteenth century." By the steamer Sunol, from Vallejn, came soldiers, sailors, farmers, merchants and strikers. She got in a little after 10 o'clock aud made things hum down at Washington-street wharf.

It the strike continues, according to Mr. Prior of tbe firm that owns the craft, then the Sunol will have all she can do carrying merchandise and fruit. The Sunol went back at 6 o'clock with tbe mails, making stops at Kodeo and Selbys. Napa people can take advantage of the steamer nfandel that leaves at 6 o'clock from Jackson-street wharf. Satuiday evening 150 people took passage on this vessel.

The steamer N'apa City of the same route will carry freight but not passengers. The arrangements for to-day on tbe broad and narrow gauge Oakland and also the creek run, will be the same as yesterday. That is there will be a boat every hour on the broad-gauge, and an hourly service, leaving San Frnncisco at quarter to the hour, on the narrow-gauge. Creek boats will run every half hour. The steamers Modoc and Apache will leave the foot of Market street for Sacramento at 8 I )ck, arriving there at 10 p.

THE OCEAN ROUTE. Heavy Travel To and From the South. Three hundred and four passengers crowded the steamer Santa Ko-a that arrived yesterday from San Diego. Angeles way ports. Social Hull and the dining saloon were utilized as bleeping apartments for many, as every berth on the vessel was occupied.

A large number of travelers are waiting at San Diego and Los Angeles, and another big load will arrive on the steamer Mexico that will be tbe next ship to arrive here. The Giosy from Santa Cruz and the iSonita from the same port do not usually carry passengers, but in the emergency accommodations were found for a tew. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company sent the steamer Coos Bay out at 8 o'clock In the morning with about sixty passengers, a special license having been taken out to enable the vessel to overreach her scheduled allowance of tourists. The Coos Bay made a straight run for Santa Cruz, where she will discharge and return to Sau Francisco as soon as possible. Goodall, Perkins Co.

and the Union Pacific expect to nave a run on their steamers through the week, and will endeavor to make things as comfortable as possible for their patrons. No special arrangements have yet been made to increase the service 1 north. This will be attended to later, I when it is more definitely ascertained I what the prospects are for the strike continuing. Passengers from Los Angeles by the Santa repcrt that the only means of reaching i hat city from Redondo, where the steamers stop, is by taking the narrowgauge road operated by the Redondo Company, that connects with the ocean si'le. It is said that several tugboats will be run between Santa Cruz.

Monterey nnd San Francisco in case the narrow-gauge s.m ta Cruz division is tied up. WOULDN'T DESERT. Persuasion Didn't Work With Engineer William Ryan. The first attempt ou the Oakland molo on the part of any one to persuade a train crew to desert whs made within the sheds in tbe very shadow of the company's office just before No. 13 pulled out for Sacramento ye-terd iy afternoon.

Engineer William J. Rvan was in the cab. with John Alexander as a Deputy Sheriff also being present. While ihey were putting on the las; touches preparatory to departure they were approached and hailed by four men. "If I were you fellows," said one of the men, "I would get out of that cab.

They'll kill you when you gel down there." And the others broke in, mildly but equally as directly, with the statement that the men hnd better the. company and save their necks from danger by taking the wiser course and deserting once. Quite a Urge crowd had soon collected, and Depot Foreman Nlct Wiiback, thinking a riot was in progress, moved as rapidly as possible in that direction. When he found that such eloquence was being used right under his very nose he became exceedingly angry and commanded the man and his three companions to move off. They did so, but not without another appeal to Ryan and Alexander to desert.

Their efforts were of no avail and the men took out the train. SUPERINTENDENT WHITE TALKS He Says That the Sacramento Service May Be Increased. Division Superintendent White, who has charge of the depot at the foot of Market street, was interviewed. He stated that the ferry service was practically complete and that it is only the local train connections at the mole and pier that are bothering the company. "We can care of as many reople asdesire to cross the bay," said he, "but, ot course, the trains are not running so frequently as they did.

"We are carrying big crowdt of people on the Modoc and Apache, and, if neeessarv, well increase the said he. "What steamers have you that are available to be pressed into tne service?" was asked. "There are plenty of idle steamers. We can use the Amador, Garden City or any of our boatt that are not in commission. "The river is high, and there Is plenty of water to float the biggest ferry-boat.

"At present we can carry 500 people every trip of the two veisels now on the route. There i 9 at present no need to increase the service, but there is no telling what a day may bring forth. "We are carrying mall for way landings by the river. Last night we brought in all of the overland mails and all the passengers that were tied up at Sacramento." riARINE ENGINEERS. Their Association Does Not Seem Inclined to Take Part.

The Marine Engineers' and Firemen's Union will take no part in the strike. No attempt will be made to get any of its members to leave tbe river boats. A member said: "The reason for pur remaining neutral is perhaps because there are very few ferry-boat employes who care to quit and who are members of our union. The men are all well paid in the railroad's steamer service and many of our members are out of work, and it is as much as we can do to find employment for them. "We are not railroad men, and, at the strike is strictly a railroad strike, I see no reason why our members should join it.

"It will be time for ut to strike when we have a grievance." BUSINESS MEN INCENSED. General Sentiment That the Road Should Submit to Arbitration. The feeling among business men it rapidly becoming what might be called "intense," and it seams to be altogether against the railroad company. Everywhere the expression is heard tint the Mike is crippling business to such an extent that it will be slow to recover. Business men all say that the matter should be settled by arbitration and tpeedily.

A leading Kearny-street merchant spoke this warmly yesterday: "When the Southern Pacific people say that the public have no business to take sides in an affair which is no concern of theirs it exhibits a lack of appreciation of its relationship and obligation to the people which is nothing less than amazing. It is our affair. The business men of San Francisco lose In a proportion quite, equal to the railroad company itself. The State of California has lost $1,000,000 by this thing up to date. I say it is an outrage.

The company could easily adjust this matter with Pullman if it would, but 1 believe it is anxious to carry on this fight, with the aid of the authorities, in order to break these unions. "Now, look at it. The railroad com- Dany, precipitating the trouble, asks the unicipal authorities to protect its property. Tbe police and Sheriff's forces are paid for by vt the taxpayers. It calls upon Sacramento to send the National Guard to its assistance.

The guard is support-d by the taxpayers. It demands of the Federal Government also supported by the people that it stand by it in this controversy. The people ask it to move THE MORNING CALL, SAJST FRANCISCO, MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894. the United States mails which it can do, and it coolly refuses. "The merchants or California have been working against great odds for a long time.

Trade was beginning to pick up. and we were noplng for better things, when we receive this blow. I tell you it is a very serious matter, and unless this embargo is lifted speedily there will be many lastingly criDpled. "The Southern Pacific Company is precipitating a conflict the results of which will be more direful to it and the rest of us than any it has witnessed. "If it wants to end it, as it says it let it submit the case to the Chamber of Commerce of this city for arbitration.

We are not children, but man with heavy interests at stake, and we will not submit much longer to the dictation of the Southern Pacific This strike, if continued much longer, means ruin to the business men of California, and they will not suffer it mildly." SCARED THE DEPUTIES. San Francisco Youngsters Take Shots at the Oakland Mole. Haifa doz small boys, three of whom had revolvers in their pockets, made a sensation on the Oakland train as it ran into the shed toward the steamer, about 5:15 yesterday afternoon. They stirred up the deputy sheriffs by the shooting of their guns, and most of the waiters in the depot began to think that actual hostilities had begun and a hand-to-Laud conflict was on. The boys were on the middle car of the five on the train, and when they got into the shed and began plugging away with their guns the passengers didn't watt to see what the trouble was, but let out for the doors.

The shots rang out loudly and reverberated through the shed for all the world like a musketry discharge. Several deputies took to their heels in the direction of the shots, and when they had succeeded in getting a good view of the car they saw the youngsters running up the mole. Deputy Hunter, who is somewhat of a sprinter, soon led Is fellows in the chase and captured Albert Hedrlcks, 12 years old, who Hve9 at 515 Van Ness avenue, and John Daly, about the same age, who resides with his parents at 114 First street. The other four made good their escape. The two prisoners were searched and on their persons were found two short 22----caliber revolvers, out of which part of the fusilade had been fired.

The boys said they bad been out hunting in the Oakland hills and had merely shot their revolvers out of the window in fun. They were taken to one of the rooms in the depot building and locked up for an hour and then placed on the 6:30 steamer fcr home. Their revolvers were confiscated and they were told that the next time they did anything of the kind they would be sent to the Whit tier School. POLICE PRECAUTIONS. Twenty Specials Sworn In Chief Crowley Applies for More Men.

Twenty special policeman were sworn in by Chief Cnwley at police headquarters yesterday afternoon, their duty being to protect the property of the railroad company from destruction. They will be stationed at the company's yard-. Fourth and Townsend streets, and will be paid by the company. They are all employes of the company, whom services have been temporarily dispensed with on account of the tieup. Some of them have done police duty before, and one, J.

S. Bovee, while on the regular police force several years ago was. the proud possessor of star "No. 1." The majority are active young men. Owing to the condition of affairs at the company's yards yesterday the chief reduced the detail there at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon to one-half, those relieved taking a well-earned rest.

This Is carrying out the chief's programme to husband (be men's energies as much as possible. Reserve men are still being kept in readiness at the Central and Southern police stations. "In the event of the worst turning up," said the yesterday, "I shall be quite able with the force at my command to core successfully with It without any necessity for calling out the militia. The men are thoroughly trained in military tactics and I have the utmost confidence in them. "Besides, should the necessity arise I shall take ud my headquarters in the company's offices and have the whole force at my command there.

I hope, however, that will not be necessary, but I am prepared for any emergency." The Chief has addressed the following letter to the Board of Supervisors: I respectfully request your honorable board to pass an order Authorizing and empowering the Board of Police commissioners to appoint twenty-five (25) additional police officers, for the payment of which provision lias been made In ttie appropriation for tbe current fiscal year. la view of the unsettled state of affairs and to provide for possible trouble, which from appearances at I tie present time may at any moment, the additional twenty-five officers should be appointed at once. In speaking of this request the Chief said according to the law be it entitled to 150 more men, but be is only asking for twenty-five, which the Board of Supervisors has agreed to give him. TO AND FROM STOCKTON. San Francisco Newspapers Sell at a Premium.

A special left Oakland at 9:30 o'clock last evening with a crew for Stockton to bring down the local there in the morning. The engineer was Buzzo and the conductor Torrence. At 11:15 o'clock the local from Stockton arrived at Oakland mole. It carried about 200 in four coaches. It was in charge of Conductor Costigan, with Engineer Bradley and Fireman It left Stockton at 6:31.

Everything Is reported quiet along the line. The train left the Oakland pier for Stockton at 1:30 ami on account of the unfamiliarlty of the fireman with the work slow time was made. The tame experience was bad on the way back. San Francisco newspapers sold like hot cakes on all trains that left here yesterday. At Red Bluff, which was reached yesterday by No.

15, which left the mole Saturday night, they brought at high as $1 50 a piece. NARROW-GAUGE IN OAKLAND. An Effort May Be Made To-Day to Tie It Up. At 11:30 o'clock last night the last narrow-gauge train left Fourteenth street for the mole. Hourly runs were made without any interruption throughout tbe day nnanignt.

This was to the expectations of those who claimed to have Inside information and bad given it out that trouble would undoubtedly occur before the day was ended. There seems to be enough foundation in these rumors to have the Police Department detail extra patrolmen to the Fourteenth-street station beat and anxious crowds appeared about the station with suspicious regularity at "he arrival of each train. Late in the evening Walker of the Southern Pacific Company telephoned the Police Department to send two policemen to the roundhouse to accompany the first enaiue up at 5 o'clock this morning. This gives still more of color to the reports of an impending effort to tie up this route. The roundhouse is out of the jurisdiction of the city police of Oakland and consequently the request was refused.

PREPARING FOR TROUBLE. Marshal Baldwin Appoints Many Deputies and Goes to Sacramento. Uuited States Marshal Baldwin ordered 500 deputies' badges printed Saturday night and sent out two or three trusted assistants to drum up men who are willing to aid him iv protecting the mail. While serving the Government the deputies will serve the Southern Pacific by helping it to lorward Pullman cars, but they will not be paid for that, and it was not mentioned in their agreement. In response to the summons about sixty men appeared at the Marshal's office yesterday to be sworn Id.

Many of them were clerks and mechanics out of a job, but there was a good sprinkling of ward strikers and loafers, and ihere were some whose reputations have been frayed and tattered in the Police Courts.

Tbe American Kiilway Union meeting held on at Hanson's Hall till after midnight, but the strike inmittee had nothing to give out except that the boys were enthusiastic at reports received of the tieup all alone the line. A couple of the union from Sacramento were in the hall during the night, and the way they illustrated the tightness of tbe cinch they had on ihe Southern Pacific at Sacramento was greeted with frequent applause.

RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERS. They Will Take No Hand in the Affairs of the A. R. U. Strike.

Since beginning of the strike it has been a subject for much inquiry among those interested as to what action the Order of Railway Telegraphers would take in the matter. It was reported at first that they would sympathize with the strikers to the extent of standing out with them. Th" following official communication, issued yesterday by Organizer R. W. McGarvie, sets forth the union's position: Sax.

MRS. STANFORD DELAYED. Must Take a Boat to Reach the City. Hard luck seems to follow the special car of Mrs. Leland Stanford.

It was only Saturday, after it had been tied up at for several days, that permission had been eiven to move it down the line to (he city. Then yesterday morning came the news of the burning of the bridge at Mutt station and the information that the special could not come this way until ihe bridge is rebuilt. Hpt only way out now is to go buck and take a boat from the nearest point if she wishes to get to San Francisco in reasonable time. ON THE COAST. Suffering Caused by Delays.

TROUBLE WITH TRAINS Those Southbound Reach Bakersfield. FILLMORE ON THE SCENE. Will Try to Induce the Sheriff to Organize Posses. THE TACTICS OF THE STRIKERS. Tracks Greased, Engines Disabled, Rails Torn Up and a Train Cut Into Sections.

Sacramento, July To-day opened with no new developments iv the railroad strike of a local character. A large crowd of men remained in and about the depot throughout tbe Bight, leaving only when several hundred others gathered there in the morning to relieve them. During the forenoon the crowd increased rapidly, and in a few hours there was the usual throng of ex-railroad employes about there, besides a large number of other citizens who congregalea there out of curiosity. Groups of men were spattered about discussing the situation, bm nothing of a sensational character occurred. Word was received early in the morning that the 900-foot bridge and trestle just this side of JJott, SMtivou County, on tha Oreeon road, had been fired and destroyed.

The members of tbe union here declared that their organization had no'hing to do with the destruction of the bridge. It was learoed subsequently that Stanford, who has been stopping at Sisson, deaired to return to Sao Francisco (1 had pleaded with the managers of the strike on the Shasta division to allow her to proceed on her way, but bur request was refused. The burning of the long trestle has now made it impossible for her to come. The steamer Apache left for San Francisco this morning at 10 o'clock witb a load of passengers aboard that several nltfttmers said reminded them of the days when all traffic was by steamboats. No attempt was made to Influence the hands or threaten them.

A gatekeeper admitted only who were provided with tickets. Quite a crowd had assembled, anticipating trouble, but the boat backed out into the stream as quietly as on any day lor months past. The leaders among the strikers stated that they do not propose to interfere with the boats further, but to let them carry mails and without hindrance. The steamer Knight No. 2 up through the draw early in the morning ou its way to Knights Landing and Marysville.

The Neponnet No. 2, tbe trad Ing- boat, also went up the river, and a boat went up as far as the Pioneer mill to take aboard a lot of milling stuff and go down the river with it. Sheriff O'Neil was on hand at the bridge at 0 a- m. to see that no one Interfered with the draw, but no movement io that direction was made. It was rumored tbat a man was on the bridge the night before, using incendiary ianttUHge and advocating the burning of the bridges, but the men hosrtled him off and warned him not to come back.

On Saturday night a rather sDirited interview occurred between Division Superintendent Wright and Sheriff O'Neil, tbe facts of which were not learned at the time. The former asked the Sheriff to go into the depot and notify the men there that tbe company desired its premises cleared of all persons who bad no business there. O'Neil said bo bad no right to do so, inasmuch as tbe men ware committing no acts of violence, and it would be useless for him to attempt to compel the men to leave. "Then," said Superintendent Wright, "why not swear in a lot of deDti ies and if the depot ana yards cannot be cleared, so the company can proceed with its business?" The sheriff replied that In his opinion the law did not require him to do anything of the kind. Besides, be had consulted witb bis bondsmen and taken legal advice, and was satisfied he would be jeopardizing hie bondsmen if he did as demanded.

lie said, furthermore, they had all been "brought up together" in this city, and he could not do more than be had notified Manager Towne he would lnterfere if any actual violence was attempted. Superintendent Wright called the Sheriff's attention to the fact that the presence of the strikers was a menace to the company; that the latter was obstructed, and that if it attempted to use its property it would be resisted by force, and that would precipitate violence, the very thine the company sought to avoid. Sheriff O'Meil, However, refused to act as requested, and then Superintendent Wright asked him to do his duty by Informing the adjutant-ceneral that he was powerless to carry out the functions of his office, but this the Sheriff also declined to do. and there the matter ended. Everything appears to be completely blocked at Red Bluff, ou the line of the Oregon Railroad.

Word was received from there to-day th at the strikers were in com plete control of the situation and would allow the railroad company to do nothing. The trick has been soaped for the distance of a mile, the switches spiked and the keys removed, cars uncoupled and tbe connections carried off. Wiien the crew on a train bound south wanted to come through to tbeir homes here others of the strikers interfered ami refused to permit the train to proceed. The company appealed to the Sheriff of the county to do his duty and protect the company in its efforts to move the train but he wired back that he could not get citizen to act as a deputy. There was a little excitement in railroad circles about half past 5 o'clock this evening, when the strikers received a telephone message from Brighton, five miles out, that a special from San Francisco had passed there witb a carload of non-union men.

The leader of thw American Railway Union men at once detailed fifty men to go to Twenty-eighth and streets and intercept the train and "attend to the scabs." The others were called upon to stay by him and the depot. The train proved to be the special on which Superintendent Killmore came up from Oakland, attended by a few deputy marshals. Tiiev had left the train at Twenty-eight!) street and came downtown on a streetcar before the strikers got there. The latter ran the train back to Brighton, where it Is reported they killed it quite effectively. Superintendent FHlmore drove from his hotel to the depot and had an hour's conference with Division Superintendent Wright, at which no one else was present.

He was afterward seen by a reporter, but said he bad little to say about the strike. He had cove here to inquire into the situation and ascertain why the Sheriff l. ad refused tr do his duty ana keeo the company's premises free from the crowds of men who were there to prevent it from handling its trains. It was his purpose, be said, to remain here until the trouble was settled. The railroad company had proposition to make to the American Railway Union looking to anything less than the complete possession and use of its property, including the Pullman cars, which it bad purchased for use in its business.

To-night Fillmore is holding a conference with the conductors' and engineers' organization, and pxpec's to confer later with the Mayor, United States Marshal Baldwin, Sheriff O'Neil and Chief of Police Drew. The American Railway Union men are very defiant and ridicule the idea of the company moving its trains by aid of the police, deputy sheriffs, the militia.
