DISPOSITION OF 1HE COMMANDS.

Infantry Sent to Various Posts and CAT* a»ry and Artillery to Fort Sheridan^ Second Xtrigade of State Troops

Itvlluved of Duty.

SOL-DJKHS RECALLED.

CHICAGO, July 19.—Gen. Miles signed a general order Wednesday night removing the federal troops from Chicago. The infantry will take train for their respective posts, while the cavalry and artillery will march to Fort Sheridan, and be mobilized there until such time as Hen. Miles thinks it best they be sent to their posts. The order came from the war department Wednesday evening, after lien. Miles had informed the department he thought the situation had so far improved it was perfectly safe to remove the soldiers.

The infantry that will leave Chicago to-day are the Ninth regiment to Sackett's llarbor, five companies to Fort Leavenworth and two to Fort Hrady. Tho Fifteenth regiment, ten companies of cavalry and three of artillery, will go to Fort Sheridan. Mayor Hopkins denied he had asked for the withdrawal of the federal troops from the city.

State Troops Ordered Homo. Wednesday night Gov. Altgeld telegraphed orders relieving the Second brigade from further service at Chicago. The order affects 500 men, forming the Fourth and Fifth regiments and Kattery A. The fourth regiment contains eight companies, the Fifth ten companies, and the brigade Is under command of Jlrig. Gen. Barclay, with headquarters at Springfield. The brigade represents the state guard located south of Springfield, and companies are located in nearly every town in that part of the state, including Canton, Areola, Tuscola, Oluey, Newton, Lincoln and Paris. The governor's order also relieves and orders home the Centralia, Belleville and Effingham companies of the Fourth regiment, which have been on duty at Mounds, Pulaski county.

Wants No Ifabeas Corpus.

"We will remain in jail until Monday, when the hearing in this 'contempt' case comes up. Nobody is looking .for bonds nor has such a thing as a habeas corpus been suggested," said Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway union, as he emerged from a conference with the attorneys for the defense in United States Marshal Arnold's private office Wednesday afternoon, lie was accompanied by his fellow prisoners, Vice President Howard, Secretary Keliher and Director Rogers. They rode back to the Cook county jail and were returned to their cells. (iuod Will Come of the Strike.

Mr lebs said before returning to jail: '1 believe the strike will be fruitful of good results, although tho present condition la not so agreeable. The laboring classes of this country will ultimately derive greut henettt from this movement and the country has already learned a valuable lesson. The disturbances and disasters have no effect on the general condition, as such upheavals are naturally travailous, but the cause itself and the benefits gained by the strike are of Inestimable value to the workinginen all over this country, if not the world. Telegrams and letters of sympathy are pouring In and money Is being offered liberally for our defense."

To Impeach Olney.

The following letter, accompanied by a petition, was received at strike lH'!n!quarh'rs Wednesday: 'HioAoo, July 17, ]89i.—To all local union* ami fellow members: Inclosed you will liuil blunk petition to the house of representatives asking for the Impeachment of Attorney General Olnoy, who lius been so bitter against us In his decisions connected with the present rouble. Secure every signature possible to the petition from ail classcs^of railroad men. eiti/ens and others and forward to your confcTesMnan at once, with a request that ho take itmnc'liutc action and cooperate with others to carry out th^spirit of the petition. •'EUGENK v.

Many Keturu to Work.

For the first time since its employes went on strike, May 11, the Pullman Palace Car company on Wednesday made public overtures to them to return to work. These overtures were in the form of notices posted upon the shop gates at 4 o'clock p. m. by Superintendent Middleton, which read: "These works will bo opened as soon as the number of operatives taken on is sufficient to make a working force in all departments."

The news flew through Pullman, Kensington and Roseland like a flash. Scores of tho idle workmen soon made their way towards the gates and were soon standing in small crowds before the notices reading them. Then they collected in groups.

As soon as the news reached strike headquarters runners were immediately sent out to see what effect the movement would have and discourage any who might show an inclination to make application. These delegates stationed themselves in all the streets where they could meet men aud talk to-thorn oven before they could get a chance to see and read the notices.

The Order Came from Wlckes. The order to post the notice came from Vice President Wickes. The Bhops are divided into thirty departments, and the least number to start them, it is claimed, is 1,500. At the time of the strike there were 800 who did not go out. These 800 are certain to go back. Up to 5 o'clock Wednesday evening the superintendent had received about '275 applications from among those who struck.

Mr. Wickes said the company had applications from 100 of its shop workmen to be permitted to return to work. He did not sec how the shop* could start up with less than 1,000, or even with 1,000 unloss they were well distributed among the different branches of the work. He said the attitude of the company toward Its workmen was exactly the same it had been from the day of the strike. It was always ready to meet them in a friendly spirit aud da the best It could for them, and he dli not think it had ever signified anything to the contrary.

Switchmen Vote to Stay Ont. Eight hundred union switchmen from all parts of the city held a mass meeting Wednesday night in the South Side Turner hall. Six or seven men made speeches denouncing all those who wanted to declare the strike off and advising all to remain

flrm

to the

last.

Resolutions were passed declaring that the •witohmen of Chicago were out and were going to stay out, and that any one who would return to work was a "soab" and la to be so treated. There w»a a unanimous vota In f&rof

of the resolutions. Illaxe at the Stock Yard*. Fire destroyed tho large wholesale market owned by Nelson Morris fe Co., Nos. 4121 to 4123 llalsted street, Wednesday night at 11 o'clock. The fire was supposed to be of incendiary origin. No one was about the place at the time and the flames burst forth on the west and north sides at the same instant. Six men of the Sixth regiment, I. N. O., were on guard at the corner. They saw three men running away from behind the cars a moment after the fire started. They called to the men to halt and then fired six shots at them as they disappeared among the cars down the track. The police took up the chase but the men escaped. Tho firemen worked hard to save the adjoining buildings.

Several box cars and small buildings belonging to the Stock Yards company were consumed. Two companies of the Fifteenth regiment and Troop of the militia arrived almost as Boon as tho fire department. Several men guarded every line of hose and punched with bayonets a number of toughs who were caught trying to cut the hose. Several thousand people gathered aud cheered whenever the.flames burst out in a new place and gave promise of spreading. The fire was under control in thirty minutes. The loss was total. There were ten carloads of meat in the building valued at 815,000. The whole loss will reach 850,000, fully insured.

Strike Off at llammond.

HAMMOND, Ind., July 19.—Just before the close of a stormy session the Hammond branch of the American Railway union Wednesday night decided to return to work. The motion was carried by 42 to 87 votes. The excitement is at its highest point here and trouble is expected as the final outcome. Vice President Uaxel and Charles Merryweather, of the American Railway union, were arrested here this evening on a charge of int'midatr ing Monon railway employes. They will be taken to Indianapolis.

Militia Withdrawn from

TIE-UP IN THE WEST.

Troops Sent to Butte, Mont., to Kalae the Blockade. BUTTE, Mont., July 19.—Tho tie-up of the railroads at this point is complete. The Utah & Northern trains come no farther than Dillon. No Northern Pacific trains are moving to this oity. Troops have not yet arrived. The local officials ol the American Hallway union say that no violence will be offered the troops when they arrive. The Union Pacific appointed a committee of safety, whose duty it would be to restrain the violently inclined. The raiiroad officials expect to resume business on Friday. The regulars are expected arrive on that day.

Dillon, 70 miles south of Hutte, is the present terminal point for the Union Pacific passenger trains. A company of regulars is stationed there and also at Lima, the end of the division, 40 miles south of Dillon. Four small bridges have been burned between this city and Lima, on the line of the Union Pacific, and one blown up by dynamite. No damage has been done to railroad property here.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.—The strikers' view of the railroad situation in northern California is given by one of the strike leaders in Oakland. "Under ordinary circumstances," he said, 'eighteen or twenty freight trains are dispatched from Oakland daily. During the last four days the railroad company has sent out five freight trains. If this is running the road then we are beaten."

It is apparently a scarcity of competent trainmen that is troubling the officials of the railroads. In Sacramento almost the same condition pre vails. One hundred and fifty workmen were induced to go back to the railroad shops there Wednesday morning. In Oakland forty men were escorted to and from the railroad shops by a troop of cavalry. The strikers made no attempt to interfere.

Tariff Conferrees Deoide to Report a Disagreement.

THE ROCKS UPON WHICH THEY SPLIT.

Sugar, Coal and Iron the Principal Stumbling Blocks—Point, of Ilspute In the gi-hedulea—Chicago Merchant.

Kilter a Protest.

NEITHER WOULD GIVE VP. WASHINGTON, July 19.—The conferees on the tariff oill have decided to make a disagreeing report.

Mr. Wilson stated after the conference that he would take the report to the house in the morning. It is believed that the bill will again be in conference by Saturday at the latest. The committee on rules will probably report a speeial order limiting the time during which the debate upon the report may continue.

The report will be a disagreement in toto. It will be very brief and will not go into any details as to what questions the senate and house might have come together on. The report is expected to be the first business taken up by the house when it assembles.

Beyond the point of making the brief report of disagreement, the conferees profess not to know what the house or senate will do. On* of the house conferees said the three items of sugar, iron ore and coal were the points that had forced the total disagreement. Woolens, cottons, lead ore and some other things were open to difference, yet it was hoped these could have been recaneiled, said the conferee, if sugar, coal and iron had not stood in the way.

I.liios of Disagreement.

A house democratic member of the conference committee outlined to the Associated Press the following lines of agreement and disagreement in the conference, summarized by schedules as follows:

Schedule A. chemicals, oils and paintsAgreements on all points of dispute were obtainable-

Schedule It, earths, earthenware and glassware—Agreements on main differences were made and minor differences could have been adjusted.

Schedule C. metals and manufactures of— The disagreements were wide on ores and manufactured metals, with little common ground for agreement.

Schedule I), wood and manufactures of--Agreement could have been secured. Schedule E, sugar—The disagreement was positive and vital.

Schedule F, tobacco and manufactures—No trouble was apparent In reaching an agreement.

Schedule G. agricultural products and provisions—Tho differences were open to adjustment.

Schedule H, spirits, wines and other beverages—A basis of agreement had been reached. Schedule I. cotton manufactures—An agreement could have been reached.

Schedule J, flax, hemp and jute—An agreement was not considered difficult. Schedule K. wool and manufactures of wool —Differences could have beeu adjusted.

Schedule 1*. and N, silk, paper and nundries—Agreements were easy. From the foregoing it isevident that agreements were possible on most of th? questions and thnt the schedules which brought about total disagreement narrowed down to iron ore. coal and sugar.

Tired

Delay.

CHICAGO, July 19. Impatient at the delays of congress in coming to some decision on the tariff question, proiniuient business men of Chicago have united in an appeal that some definite action be taken at once. The step was precipitaied by the reports that the conference committee of the two houses had failod to agree. Many of the merchants who had for nths anxiously waited for the new rates to go into effect before buying their fall and winter goods became alarmed over the prospect of much longer delays and further uncertainty in the business world. Accordingly a number of them, led by II. N. Iliginbotham and John J. Mitchell, started out to get signers to a petition asking congress, in view of the necessities of the country's commercial interests, to draw its deliberations on the tariff bill to a prompt conclusion.

In the words of Mr. lliggenbotham the burden of the whole appeal was: "We don't care how you settle the question, but we want you to settle it in some way at once. Cntil you do the times will continue hard.'*

The petition was signed without hesitation by ninety-eight of the bestknown wholesale and retail dry goods merchants, hardware dealers, bankers, grocers, packers and manufacturers in the city. Ever}' firm approached, regardless of the political opinions of its members, expressed the heartiest sympathy with the movement. Following is a copy of the appeal: 'CHICAGO, July 18. iww. -To the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress Assembled, Washington, D. C.: The whole country demands that congress terminate the pending tariff legislation immediately. Failure to dispose of the question quickly will work incalcuable injury to financial aud industrial interests.
