Stnte of Tilings on the Ills Fonr'i Michigan Iilvlloi. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind.. July 6. The Biff Four and Wabash railroads are making strenuous efforts to resume business?, but are meeting with indifferent success. On the Wabash, to-day, west-bound express No. 41 left Toledo and arrived here on time, a nonunion engineer from the Ann Arbor who went east yesterday pulling the train. He carried two big revolvers, which he displayed at Andrews, ten miles east, a division point. Locomotives were not changed as usual, but the strikers, with women and children, surrounded the er.gln? and yelled "scab." American Railway Union members here approached the engineer, but attempted no violence. The Wabash people will make a determined effort to break the blockade west to-morrow, and to-day snt four engines down with trains. With the exception of the Fort Wayne and Lafayette accommodation ana one express train each way, the Wabash ran no trains to-day. wn the Michigan division of the Big Four the strikers are in absolute control. No attempt has been made to run passenger trains since No. 7 left here at midnight last night, going south, excepting train No. 24 north. This train left North Vernon this morning and was delayed at Anderson three hours. When it arrived here, a; 5 o clock, engineer Torrence said he was not reeling well and could not go on. V.ie strikers surrounded the engine and took the fireman to the American Killway TTnlou hall, and, despite the solicitations of Superintendent Blizzard, no engine crew could be secured to take the train through. At American Railway Union Headquarters here telegrams urging firmnf?s ;ire coming in. and the men seem more determined than ever. Bark Summerland. the nonunion fireman who fird train No. 24 out of Wabash on the Big Four, yesterday, has been won ever by the striker, and will go out n more. One Train Left Anderson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind, July 6. A temporary victory was scored here to-day by the Michigan division officials of the Big Four, as they succeded in moving a train for the tirst time in twenty hours. Not a wheel moved last night nor this morning, and a train with nearly a hundred passengers stood in the yards all night. The trainmen deserted and the engineer and fireman refused to go out with agent C. W. Hoover acting as baggagemaster. Train No. 24. carrying United States mail, was left standing in the yards from 8 o'clock this morning till 2 o'clock this afternoon, when No. 24, from the southern division, pulled in. Malls, express and baggage were transferred. The baggagemaster and brakeman deserted the train, but engineer Torrence stood by the company, although he was surrounded by strikers and urged to desert. Baggageman Crouch finally agreed to take the run to Wabash, and freight conductor Keefe was Installed as brakeman, and then the train pulled out. much to the surprise of the strikers. The yards are absolutely deserted. Business men, grocers and factories are feeling the effect of the strike very seriously. Members of the A. R. U. are peaceable, however, and have attempted no act of violence. Thi3 morning many of the belated passengers hired livery conveyances and were driven across the country to their homes. Mike Carey, president of the local , union, at his own expense, to-day, fed sev-ajr-"tvtur.en - ai1 children who had been kept In the city. All trains have been annulled temporarily. AT A STANDSTILL. The Wnbnah IIn Moved lint Two Train Since Thursday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PERU, Ind., . July 6. Superintendent Gould, of the eastern Wabash division, succeeded in getting No. 4t, the Kansas City fast express, with a Pullman sleeper, through here this afternoon. The superintendent acted as pilot, engines being changed here instead of at Andrews, the division point, where the train rushed through sixty miles an hour. The road also got through No. 41, the Toledo Cannon Ball, with a sleeper. These are the first through trains since yesterday. There is a rumor that the Lake Erie men will go out to-night. Outside of the above trains everything on the eastern division of the Wabash from this city to Toledo, to Detroit, and from Peru to Tilton. 111., is at a standstill. Not a freight has been moved for three days. All yard men at Peru, Andrews, Toledo, Ashley and Montpelier have been suspended indefinitely, and this is also true of the yard and office forces on the eastern division. While the engineers and firemen in this city. Andrews. Tilton and other points have not struck, still they refuse to handle any trains made up bv nonunion men. or any trains pulled by scab" engineers or firemen. Last night the company succeeded in Retting a train of twelve mail cars through to Toledo by a "scab" engineer and fireman. I Notices from the United States courts were posted in all the yards of this city today. An attempt was made by the company to have a large number of deputy sheriffs sworn In. but this was refused on the ground that it was not necessary at the present time. It is the evident intention of the Wabash people to fight the matter to a finish. On the Lake Erie fc Western a few freights are being moved and all the passenger trains are generally on time. It was currently reported this morning that the engineers and firemen would go out shortly. In the case of conductor Ballenger refusing to take ont a train at Indianapolis efter it was made up by the officials, the Inen here say that he was in the wrong and decline to act In the matter. VAX DA LI A IN 0 IlWGKIt. Conference of KtiKlnrrnnnd Firemen with Will In in. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TKRRK HAITK. Ind.. July 6.-More Vandalia shopmen went out to-day and the switchmen remain out. All passenger trains arc running on time and a few through freights were hauled to-day. One hundred engineers and firemen snt a committee to confer with General Manager Williams, and he said he was glad they came, and that he thought there was no good reason why the Vandalla and Its employes should sever their long-time satisfactory relations. The committee said the men did not want to strike, but. on the contrary, wanted to continue in the steady service of the company. What they wanted was some assurance that they would not be called on to Jv the work of men who had gone on a st theySould be required to do nothing that was nojn the contract with the company. The mentiVied about the probability of nonunion brakemen being put on their trains. Mr. Williams said they would not be asked to go out on the road with incompetent men. and that so soon as any Df the train crew demonstrated their incompetence they would not be used. The committee reported to the one hundred men. m l an agreement was entered into on the basis of this conference with the general manager, which means that the engineers and tiremen of the Vandalia will continue loval to the company. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois ent two trains north, but it is doubtful if an attempt will be made to run Into Chicago. No trains came from the north to-day. The Big Four local men are still out. The men at Mattoon are at work, and as that is a division point the passenger trains are running on regular time. The Evansville & Terre Haute is running day passenger trains and local freights on the lower end of the road. A3 the Chicago & Eastern Illinois cannot handle the Nashville limited train no night trains are run over the Evoajviiia &, Terre Haute. Local trains are

running over the Kvansville & Indianapolis division of the Eransvllle & Terre Haute between Washington and Evansvllle. Grand Master Sargent, of the firemen, received word that the firemen on the Memphis, Fort Scott & Kansas City had gone out. A deputy United States marshal posted the United States Court restraining order about the depots to-day. It was seen by few and attracted no attention. Tin: aiu-lim: tuoliili:.

The following message was sent to Gsneral Superintendent J. R. Sanr.ple to-day: "The committee of American Railway Union, consisting of switchman Murphy, engineer White and conductor Alvis, are la my office now. Th?y say they are ready to furnish engineers, firemen, hostlers, coal heavers and track walkers to haul mall cars, but will not haul any other passenger equipment. The notice is given so that if It is rejected you will have ample time to cut off passenger equipment at terminals and not have trains delayed hrre or at any other Intermediate points by refusal of ma to take trains on to destination. 'Phe committee say that Nos. 3 and 4 tonight will not be disturbed, but that at 8 o'clock Saturday morning is the limit. "J. M. NORMAN. "Assistant Superintendent." The men In a lody are American Railway I'nion mn, and refuse to recognize any orders from the different orders that are contrary to the orders of the American Railway I'nion. The situation is very grave In this city. Merchants are running out of groceries, having heretofore been brought to this city by express since the strike, but to-morrow morning, If the express cars are stopped, goods will have to be hauled from Evansville by wagon. Strn-k Without u Grievance. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLE, Ind.. July C General Manager Hopkins, of the Louisville, Evans ville & St. Louis Air-line, receive a telegram at noon to-day telling him the road would be tied up, at noon. All classes of workmen go out. The engineers are striking because the brakemen are not furnished each freight. The others strike on orders from President Debs, of the American Railway I'nion. The employes have no grievance against the company. The Air-line Is In the hands of a receiver, and if the company experiences trouble in handling trains the courts will be resorted to. Mr. Hopkins was in receipt of telegrams from Grand Master Wilkinson, of the trainmen, and Grand Master Sargent, of the firemen, saying that they had neither one authorized a strike. FLED FOR HIS LIFE. Fort Wayne Striken Tried In Kill a Pennsylvania Conductor. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., July 6.-The strike here is growing worse, but as yet the ... j:;jrcee(ie(j jn holding many trains. A Nlckle-plate. mail train, west-bound, arrived here at 2 o'clock, but did not get away until 4 o'clock, owing to being unable to secure an engineer. Finally. Frank II. Telley. one of the regular Nickel-plate engineers, started with Road l'oreman of Engines Woods as engineer, and tho purchasing agent, Frank Brown, as fireman. The men were hooted and threatened, but were allowed to proceed with the train. A crowd was at the Pennsylvania depot when Nos. 9 and 7. also west-bound, arrived at 5 o'clock, and a desperate effort was made by the strikers to dissuade the new men from coupling th? locomotives to the train, but the trains passed tnrough all right, excepting that the air brake hose was cut. stopping- the train until it could be repaired. Conductor Sloan, who brought the train from th? East, got into an argument with the mob. and finally had to flee for his life with five hundred men after him. He ran into the Harmon Hotel, and the day clerk locked the office until he could pet upstairs to a room and hide himself. The yard switching crews on the Iake Shore road in this city struck at noon anl not a wheel is turning in the Lake Shore yards here, and only passenger trains are moving on the road now. SHOT AT HtlAZIL. Supposed Deputy Marshnl Fire on n (inner of Tramp. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind.. July 6. The strikers have been watching all trains at night to keep tramps out of the city. Last night four got off the west-bound passenger and th3 strikers requested them to leave the city. They boarded the train again, and a big fellow slipped from one of the coaches and began firing on them. One received a flesh wound In the neck. The man doing the shooting Is said to be a deputy United States marshal. A deputy United States marshal arrived in the city this evening and Immediately proceeded to read United States Judsie Woods's injunction to the officers of the American Railway Union, which prohibits them from interfering with th moving of trains. Another effort w.13 mad to-day by the C. & K. I. officials to move ff? passenger train which ha fceen standing on the main line since Friday a waek ago. but they could not secure a fireman. The strikers are quiet and orderly, and say they will not molest anyone who takes charge of the trains. A SETTLEMENT PHOI1AIILE. Proposition by ioull, nf tlie Wnlittftli Throe Fires Stnrted. Sieclal to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE. 111.. July 6. Superintendent Gould, of the Wabash railroad, while here to-day, held a conference with the grievance committee and offered to restore the oil scale of wages on his division from here to Detroit. The committee Informed him that it would not do to settle with this division, but th restoration of wages n.ust cover the entire Wabash system. It is believed that this will so.-n be done, and that the Wabash rond will b running again in a few days. Tho fact that the Rig Four officials settled with their men at St. Louis yesterday will probably induce the Wabash to take similar action. The Peoria division of the Big Four ran all Us passenger and several freight trains with regular crews to-day. It was the first time for several days that freight was moved. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois snt out its first freight train to-day with an old conductor and brakeman who ar nonunion men. Thre small fires occurred to-day. The Wabash oil shanty at Felton was destroyed. The Big Four bridge and Wabash & Eastern Illinois crossing house was Ignited, but the damage was slight. The first two are believed to have been accidental. General Kelly's commonwe.il army, consisting of 120 inen. Is encamped here. The General and Colonel Fellers, of Springfield, addressed a large public meeting this evening. Wabash employes ran an engine out at Tilton t onlay and saved several cars from the lire. They nlso used every endeavor to put out the fire at the oil house. The A. R. U. men are also to be crediu-d with putting out the flames at the Wabash and ICastern Illinois crossing house. Trouble Fen red ut Richmond. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., July 6. The effect of the Pullman strike reached Richmond today, and the Pennsylvania people began to make active preparations this afternoon to protect their interests on the divisions centering here. A recruiting officer worked all afternoon securing volunteers who were willing to be sworn in as deputy United States marshals, and to-night the entire party left for Logam-port, where they will be taken In hand by th? United States marshal located there. Pnnliandle Striker tin to Work. Special to the Indianaiol!s Journal. LOGANSPORT. Ind..

BY THE TORCH. (Conclndcd from First rage.) the tracks to where a train of eighteen cars of provisions and dressed meat lay fldetracked. The cars were torn open and much of the contents carried away. What was not confiscated was dumped out of the cars and thrown about the tracks before Lieutenant Kehler with a detachment of twenty men could reach the scene of devastation and disperse the crowd. The stock was gathered up as ell as possible and a guard station at the tracks for the night. When the olHcers arrived they found the mob carrying off sacks of potatoes, boxes of canned goods, flour and other freight contained In the cars. Women had their cprons full of stolen goods and children staggered under heavy loads of booty. Barrels of flour were being rolled down the streets from the yards, wagons were on hand being loaded and a rich harvest was being reaped. On the arrival of the police the mob started on a run from the yards. Each officer singled out one of the men and soon had him under arrest. Eighteen were marched to the station and locked up. On the way to the station the women attacked the officers and tried to rescue the prisoners. The rioters hooted and yelled that they were starving and must have food, even if they had to steal it. Another detail of police was sent to the yards, but the mob had disappeared. Many other cars were found broken open and looted.

STOCKYARDS SCENES. Track Strewn With AVreoked Cars anil Slinntlen. CHICAGO, July 6. Evidences to-day of the work of the mob at the stockyards yesterday and last night were visible every where. In the railroad yards cars lay on their sides and tops on nearly "every spur and siding on the main lines of the Rock Island, the Fort Wayne and the Lake Shore roads, and smoking embers showed that the mob had not been content with derailing cars. From State to Ilalsted and Thirty-fifth to Forty-third a network of railway tracks was strewn with dismantled cars, wrecked switchmen's shanties, railroad ties and other obstructions. The tall signal tower at Fortieth street and the Rock Island tracks was about the only thing left. The police managed to defend that against the mob. The crowd made threats this morning that they would burn every railway shop In the city and the cars and all the property if the railway officials should attempt to move trains wltnout their help. As early as 7 this morning men began to gather around the railroad tracks. The crowds were thickest about the derailed cars, and every token of railroad loss was gloated over with genuine enjoyment. Men who participated in the destruction of the property were telling how It was done, and were applauded by the crowd who listened. Between midnight and morning the rioters at the stockyards continued their attempts at destruction of railway property. Several fi eight cars were fired, but no serious damage was done. About midnight the rioters cut the electric-light wires near Forty-seventh street, plugged the fire-alarm boxes and did everything possible to impede the work of the department. While working on one fire at Forty-ninth street the firemen were stoned, but not injured. Patrolman Burke went to the police box to call the officers and a-as shot at. The work of destruction continued during the morning. At least $5,C00 worth of railroad pioperty was destroyed at Twentythird street .and Ashland avenue. Cars and switch shanties were set on fire and the flames spread to a hay barn at Forty-ninth and Loomls streets and four hundred tons of baled hay were destroyed. The work of the firemen was interfered with by the mob. It was practically impossible to extinguish all the fires that were started by the mob. Cars belonging to Swift and Armour, standing on the tracks at Fortyninth stieet and Aberdeen, loaded jvlth meat, were fired this morning. No arrests were made by the police. An attempt was made by the strikers and their sympathizers to burn Armour's warehouse in the stockyards. Some one set fire to a car of coal standing near the fertilizing works, and a blaze was soon started. An alarm was turned in, and an engine and hose cart were soon on their way to Armour's. The department had no difficulty in subduing the flames after they reached the fire. This act of Incendiarism was denounced on all sides. The firemen employed in the packing houses of Nelson Morris & Co., Swift & Co.. and Armour &: Co.. struck this morning, and were soon followed by the steam titters in all threa houses. About the same time Armour & Co.'s teamsters refused to work longer, saying that they had been assaulted and threatened so much that they feared to take out their teams. Chi3f Deputy Donnelly, wao was in charge of the United States marshals at the stock yards, telephoned that comparative quiet prevailed there this afternoon, but that no attempt was being made to run trains. Th? chief deputy said the military force at the stock yards was not sufficient to protect the trains, and that the railroads would not try to do anything until the force was increased. The roads made no attempt to bring In live stock, and the total receipts consisted of three wagon loads of lambs and two cows from adjacent farms. The train of cattle sent out yesterday on the Michigan Central, and over which there was such a struggle, was returned to the yards, and all attempts at shipment abandoned. The shipments for the past week have been limited to seven cars for Swift & Co. and elevsn for Armour & Co. All the unmarried men In the stock-yards office of Armour & Co. have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs, and are now on duty. A rumor was current that the concern had discharged a large number of men. Superintendent Sunderland declared that the story was untrue. "We have laid off some men," he said, "because ther? were no cattle coming in. Our stationary engineers and firemen have ben compelled to quit by the mob. I do not believe that any man in th stock yards is out of work of his own will." INCIDENTS OF THE DAY Stone Throwing One of the Favorite Pastimes of tbe Mob. CHICAGO, July 6.-Some of the Incidents of the day, as received by telephone and otherwise, are related briefly in the following bulletins: An incoming mMk train was attacked on the Fort Wayne tracks near Fortieth street and the stock yards to-day and the crew driven off with stones. The police turned the tables on the rioters and the mob was dispersed aLer fevcial shots had been llred by the police. A report gained currency that the engineer had been stoned to -death, but the rumor seems unfounded. Two rioters were caught with stones in their hands and arrested. Two deputy United States marshals almost created a riot at Thirty-third street and the Panhandle tracks late last night, two men being shot and painfully wounded. About 12 o'clock the two deputies, named Eugene Keck and Michael McGann, went Into a saloon at Western avenue to get a drink. There was quite a crowd standing around the place at the time and the deputies were hooted at. When they came out some one began throwing rocks at them and the deputies pulled their revolvers and began firing. Henry Roehr and Augtist Ross received bullets In the arm and leg respectively. The shooting attracted the attention of the police and the two men were arrested. By thi3 time the crowd was thoroughly enraged at the action of the deputies, and there were tnreats or lynching them. They were guarded, however, by the police, who finally landed them at the station. As the Baltimore & Ohio milk train, due in Chicago at 6:40 p. m. last night, was nearing Thirty-ninth street, it 'aras attacked by a howling mob of five hundred or more. who sho cred stones and other missiles upon it. All the windows in the train and cab of the engine were smashed In and the mob threatened to kill the engineer. The rioters also turned box cars over on the tracks ahead of the train and drove it back to Seventy-fifth street, from which point it finally receded to South Chicago. The crew cn train No. 12 yesterday were neld up at Brighton Park and notified that If they attempted to bring the milk train Into the city the mob would kill every nne of them. The train leaving here at C'Aj was obstructed bv overturned freight cars near Thirty-seventh street. The crew and passengers r-luckily cleared the track, although greeted .vith showers of stones and seveial shots from strikers, and the train proceeded, the mob following and overturning box cars on to the tracks behind it. blockading both tracks of the Panhandle and the C. R. I. .c P. road between Thirty-ninth street nn.l Fortyfourth street, and latrr on they burned some of them. The company was compelled to discharge the passengers from a tra'n at South Chicago, and they reached the city by electric and other city car lines. The malls were held at Sou;h Chicago this morning. The company succeded in getting one track clear, and started two trains from South Chicago for the city, having on board a strong guard of United States marshals and police, with hopes of getting through, and it will attempt to send out trains for the east from the deSot- The local mall train was started fronv outh Chicago this morning. The Lake Shore & iHchi" southern of-

ficials at 2 o'clock this afternoon announced the resumption of the passenger rerviee on their road as the tracks had been cleared of obstructions and patrolled by police and guarded bv the military, it was thought trains could be put through with safety. Orders were Issued to make up the regular trains and start them on 'lme. A mob attempted thi3 afternoon to overturn some cars on the Panhandle road at Brighton Park. The rioters resisted tha deputies and one of - the strikers named Charles Koote was shot in the neck by a deputy. The wound Is believed to le fatal. One of the men arrested when the Rack Island train was stoned this morning, near Fortieth street, was a son of ex-Judgs Moran. He and another prisoner were locked up. They were in the crowd, but there is no evidence that the arrests were not mistakes on the part of the police. This morning three mail trains on the Fort Wayne were sent through the district between Forty-fifth and Fifty fifth streets, where the blockade existed yesterday. During the night the cars that had boen dumped on the tracks were removed, and the trains were sent out without trouble. A mob charged a gang of workmen engaged in Icing meat cars at Forty-fifth street, under supervision of Alderman Carey. He showed the men a permit from Debs allowing such work to be done, and the rioters left. At this afternoon a passenger train on the Baltimore & Ohio, which had been held in South Chicago all night, was started for the city under the guard of several deputy marshals. At Forty-third and Ash streets it was met by a mob which fired on the train and at the same time poured in volley after volley of stones. Train men and deputies at once returned the fire and for three minutes a lively fusillade was kept up. Four of the strikers were hit ar.d were carried off by friends. None of the men on the trains were hurt and the train proceeded to the depot without further interruption. It was reported Inter that at least iour strikers wen killed in the fight and that several others were Injured. A short time after this train arrived at the depot the through train for New York pulled out and was compelled to stop at Thirty-ninth street by lomr lines of blazing cars which had been fired by the strikers. Several , cars had been thrown across the track an'd were set on fire. The train was compelled to return to the depot. At West Pullman this afternoon a mob of two hundred men came over from Pullman, ordered the telegraph operator to close his office, drove him out and turned over a lot of box cars and blocked the Panhandle road. MANAGERS' BULLETIN". Sitnntlon on Chicago Linen nt ( OVIoek Lnxt Nlht. CHICAGO, July 6. The General Managers' Association this evening issued the following bulletins: Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe Passenger trains running on time between here, and Denver, and making good progress In the movement of freight trains. Blockade has been raised on the New Mexico division and delayed passengers are moving toward their destination. Baltimore & Ohio Owing to obstructions on the tracks and onslaughts of rioters on trains we have abandoned all passsnger service between South Ch?cago and Chicago, and have abandoned all fruits trains west of Garrett, Ind. The Lake Shore and tha Rock Island joint track. VanBuren street to Englewood, was cleared up this morning and opened to traffic. The first train started v. as a Lake Shore train, at 10:30. The Rock Island did not attempt to g?t out any trains because of blockaded tracks. The switchmen on all lines in Cleveland, O., struck to-day. This Interrupts through traffic on the Iake Shore, the New York & St. Louis and the IMg Four roads. The Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago railway passenger trains went out from the Canal-street station about on time. On the Panhandle the tracks have been cleared and delayed passenger trains sent oat and brought in. All trains on both lines of the Pennsylvania road outside of the city were on time. On the Western Indiana business is badly obstructed. Six trunk lines use the Western Indiana, namelv, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Chicago & Grand Trunk, the L., N. A. & C. the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the Wabash and the Chicago & Erie. The trains of all these roads were stoned in the district between Twenty-second street and Englewood. One of the mail trains of the Chicago & Grand Trunk was taken possession of by a mob near Fortyseventh street, and at 6 p. m. was still held by the mob. The Illinois Central, the Baltimore & Ohio, the C, B. & Q. and the Fort Wayne are having more or less trouble from scattered bands of strikers and their sympathizers. Little will be done by any of the roads in the way of moving trains until nrr d- "light to-morrow morning. The General Managers Association this afternoon passed resolutions stating that it Is not a fact, tuvsorae of the State officials have intimated, that the present stoppage of the railroad traltie is due to lack of trainmen instead of lack of proteotion by peace officers. The resolutions set forth that IX) per cent, of the railroad employes of Chicago lines are anxious to work, and are only prevented by the lawlessness of mobs not being suppressed. OBXCKAL MIL.!-:'! TROOIVS. The Fort Sheridan Contingent Reinforced Yentertlny. CHICAGO, July 6. Under the cover of darkness General Miles last night began massing the United States s-oldiers In Chicago and Us vicinity on the lake front. This morning when the city awoke it found there tho two companies of infantry whi-h have been on guard at Grand Crossing, one company of cavalry and one battery of artillery, which have been fighting to uphold the law - In the stock yards; four companies of Infantry, which came from Fort Leavenworth cn a special train at the rate of fifty miles an hour, arriving at 4 a. m., and three companies of Infantry from Fort Rrady, Mich., which came in on a special a littl later. Early this morning the commanding officers were looking over n largf map of Chicago an-1 discussing among themselves matters of grave moment. One o th m. who desired that his name be not fies. said: "If the threat of Debs to call ;it th allied trades. th laboring n:en of Chicago, is carried Into effect, it ? fea?- that there will be riot- and destruction of property in the city. We are here to prevent it if possible, but to stop it in any event." General Miles paid to-day that tbe mobilization of troops on the lake front was prompted by a belief that tHelr presence near the business center of the city was necessary. The idea was to forestall a concerted movement on the part of strikers against prominent down-town buildings. When asked for a rtatement of the situation from the position of the United States army. General Miles .said: "If the order of Mayor Hopkins is carried out there will, in my opinion. b no further trouble. It Is a plain and unmistakable order to the police to suppress all rioting, disperse all mobs and to dop the destruction of property. If the police do this, and I believe they can. there will be no further trouble anywhere in the city." "Do you anticipate that this order '.vill be carried out?" "Most certainly. I believe that not only has Mayor Hopkins taken the right step, but h? will be obeyed and the police will use all their power to quiet these disturbances. We are certainly not doing police auty for the city- of Chicago, and until the police fail we cannot be expected to disperse these mobs, except when we come in contact with them in protecting -moving trains. Our action now depends on the railroads, and our troops are here to pro tect their trains, and when they are ready to move them we are ready to protect them." Cantain McGunnlgle. Company G. Fif teenth United States Infantry, who came into the city with his command from Grand Crossing to-day. said: "This affair has ceased to be a mere lot of skirmishes, and from to-day on it is, in my opinion, a cam paign. I apprehend that the time for ar gument i- over, ana it is me stern busl ness of war no v." . There are now massed on the lake front five companies or tne tuteentn infantry. five of various regiments irom rort ieav enworth. and two from Fort Brady: Troop K. Seventh Cavalry, and Battery E, First Artillery: about six hundred officers and men. SOVEREIGN'S PLAN'S. He Will Order Ont the K. of L. If l)ebn Snys So. CHICAGO, July C Grand Master Work man Sovereign, cf the Knights of Labor, arrived !n Chicago to-day from Des Moines. He said he had come to Chicago to render what asslstancp he could to the American Railway Union, and hs should do whatever the officers of that organ lzatlon thought might best serve the Inter ests of the strike. He believed the climax was about reached, and it waj Imperative that every labor organization should put in Its best blows to win the strike. He added: "This is. the most critical leriod in the history of unionism In America. It Is the time for every labor Lider to rally hla

forces p.nd Join in th? struggle for existence. This will practically be a battle for self protection and for the future life of every worklngmen's body in the country. No one can overestimate th? importance of winning this conflict. Defeat will mean not -a temporary setback alone, but a permanent and everlasting disadvantage to organized honor and honesty among the working p?ople of the land. That is why I am here to-day. That is why I will do whatever the American Railway Lnlon thinks best as regards the ordering of a '"As" regards a walk-out on the part of the members of all trades unions in the city I will say that I think it might bring about great good. Certainly It would force upon the people a stronger realization of the necessity for a settlement of these troubles, and the populace would rise en masse in a demand for arbitration. Arbitration the laboring man is not afraid of. The capitalists, though, will not accede to it. Mr. Debs stands ready to act for a reasonable settlement. The general managers do not. Public sentiment will force the latter to change their tune. The Knights of Labor are with the American Railway Union heart and soul, and I know whatever I do now to aid the strikers will be fully and heartily indorsed by tha 130,000 members of the organization I represent. S. B. Fields, chairman of the East St. Louis strikers committee, arrived in Chicago to-dav with the story that several telegrams had been received in St. Louis yesterday, signed by President Debs, ordering the strikers to return to work. Their authenticity was doubted, and Fields came on to find out that his suspicions were correct. The officers of the American Railway Union blame the General Managers' Association. Bishop Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal Church, and Rev. P. S. Henson. Baptist, called on the Mayor to-day and announced a mass meeting at Battery D Sunday afternoon. The purpose of the mesting Is to discuss plans for settling the strike. INDUSTRIES WILL STOP.

100,000 of Chicago' Working People to lie Idle To-Dny. CHICAGO, July 6. The Herald will say in the morning: After to-day smokeless chimneys will give Chicago's smoke inspectors nothing to look for. An exhaustive canvass of the industrial concerns of the city reveals an appalling state of affairs, and warrants the statement that to-morrow 75 per cent, of them will stop their machinery and keep It so until the present embargo on traffic is raised. The effect ijvill be to throw into idleness upward of 100,093 workingmen. The Deering Harvesting Company's works will stop, throwing out three thousand people. The Illinois Malleable Iron Company's furnaces were allowed to die last night for lack of fuel and pig iron, shutting out three hundred. The nineteen furnaces of the Illinois Steel Company's plant are banked for need of coke, and all the company's mills at South Chicago, North Chicago, Jollet and- Milwaukee are closed, throwing into idleness three thousand at South Chicago. l.iWO at Jolict, one thousand at Milwaukee and 230 at North Chicago; a total of 5,750. The Union Foundry Company ami the Kimball Bridge Company, allied concerns, cannot get iren, anl these plants are idle, adding i50 more to the arrny of unemployed men. DEIIS WANTS PEACE. He SnyM Strikers Should Not Engage In RIototiM DcmoiiMtratloiiK. CHICAGO, July C President Dabs has Issued the following proclamation, addressed to all striking employes: "In view of the report of disturbances in various localities, I deem it my duty to caution you against being a party to any violation of law, municipal, tate or national, during tne existing difficulties. We have repeatedly declared that we respect law and order, and our conduct must conform to our profession. A man who commits violence in any form, whether a member of our order or not, should be promptly arrested and punished, and we would be first to apprehend the miscreant and bring him to justice. We must triumph as lawabiding citizens or not at all. Those who engage In force and violence are our real enemies. e nave it upon reliable author ity that thugs and toughs have been employed to create trouble so as to prejudice the public against our cause, 'the scoun drels should be in every case made to pay the full penalty of the law. 1 appeal to you to be men, orderly and law-abiding. Our cause is just. The great public is with us, and we have nothing to fear. "Iet it be borne in mind that if the rail road companies can secure men to handle their trains, they have that right. Our men have the right to quit, but their right ends there. Other men have the right to take their places, whatever the opinion of the propriety of so doing may be. Jveep away from railroad yards or rights of way, or other places where large crowds congregate. A safe plan is to remain entirely away from places where there is any like lihood of being an outbreak. "The railroad managers have sought to make It appear that their trains do not move because of the interference of the strikers. The statement is an unqualified falsehood, and no one knows this better than the managers themselves. They make this falsehood serve their purpose of calling out the troops. "Respect the law, conduct yourselves as becomes men, and our cause shall be crowned with success. "EUGENE V. DEBS." During the afternoon President Debs sent out a-large number of telegrams to various labor organizations and assemblies of the American Railway Union urging them to stand firm for at least twentyfour hours longer. If by that time the strike situation ha3 not Improved for the better Mr. Debs announced organized labor all over th- country will be called out without reservation whatever. ALTGELD WAKES I'P.

Governor Altg.dd this afternoon ordered out the First and Third brigades of the State militia, commanded by Brigadier Generals "Wheeler and Welch. TIt action nf the Governor vas due to the following telgrrtm from Mayor Hopkins, pent to Fpringficl I thi morning: "To Hon. John P. AltgcM. Governor of the State of Illinois, Springfield: . "I hereby Inform you that thre are now within the city of Chicago numerous riotous bodies of men acting together by force, with attempt to commit felonies, to offer viobnee to persons and property and hy force and violence to break and resist the laws of the State: that th civil authorities of this city, by means of the large territory over which these bodies of men are scattered, the comparative small number of the police and other peac officers at the disposal of said authorities ant the large number of said riotous bodies of men are unable to restore th-? peace and to prevent violence to persons and property. J, therefore, as the Mayor and chief executive otlicer of the city of Chicago, hereby call upon you and request that you order sufiiicent military force of the State to aid the civil authorities of this city in suppressing such violence and executing the laws, and I suggest five regiments of the State militia be ordered by you immediately to assist the civil authorities for the purpose herein above indicated. "JOHN P. HOPKINS. Mayor." Military headquarters were established in the City Hail very soon after the military was ordered out. Brigadier General Wheeler reported at the Mayor's office, and all callers were excluded while the two looked over maps and outlined the work tor the State troops. The First Brigade called out by Governor Altgeld includes the First Infantry, under Col. Henry L. Turner; Second Regiment, under Col. George F. Moulton; Seventh Regiment (Hibernian Rifles), under Col. A. T. Colby; Cavalry Ttoop A and Battery D, all of Chicago. The Third Brigade includes the Third Infantry, of Jollet, under Col. F. I. Benlitt; Sixth Infantry, of Chicago, under Col. J. D. Crofton, and Cavalry Troop E, of Bloomington. The Second Regiment was this afternoon ordered to the stock yards. Mayor Honklns said this afternoon he was ta,klnT on the police force every man who had made application for such service and all men .who have been discharged for cause, unless the reason for discharge was very serious. He said he wanted to get Into the ranks ever;' man In the city who has a uniform. He said further that any man who was willing to serve on the force at such a time deserved to be retained even though he had at some time been discharged. The Mayor admits that the police are in sympathy with the strikers. An attorney called on Mayor Hopkins today to report that strikers were trying to intimidate the firemen and engineers In the International packing house refrigerator plant. The stoppage of this plant means the destruction of thousands of dollars worth of meat. The Mayor ordered fortyfive men to protect the plant. The First Regiment, 7o0 strong, went to Hyde Park and Kensington this evening. The Second, with about the same number of men, followed shortly after, being assigned to the stock yards district under di3ln r,ofJ. Police Inspector Hunt. The Third Regiment, six hundred men, were placed on duty In the district north of Thirty-ninth street. The Seventh Regiment, seven hundred men. is held In re-

Grand Master Wilkinson, of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, in an interview to-night, said: "This Is a bad state of affairs, and I am glad that our organization has no part in It. We have no grievance with the railroads, and are under contract for a certain length of time. While we symjathlze with the men at Pullman, we could not find In that a justifiable cause to go out. I do not expect to see the American Railway Union men win. If they can dictate what kind of passenger cars must be used what is to prevent them refusing to work for roads hauling freight cars made by some carbuilding company that might be in trouble with its employes? It is a fruitless and hopeless struggle. Mr. Debs and his people have promised the Pullman strikers certain things which they cannot carry out. It would have heen much better for the ultimate victory of the Pullman men to have given them ilnancial support and stood by them in their demands, and eventually they would have won, as they should win. There is rot a single one of the old line brotherhoods but that would have given financial support had they been appealed to. As It is now the fi;;ht is as much against the old organizations as against the railroad managers. Mr. Debs knows that he is wrong when he declares that the General Managers Association espoused the cause of Pullman. They declared after he threw down the gauntlet that they were under contract with th? Pullman Car Company, and that they could not annul those contracts. Any sensible man -Aould have recognized thU fact and not have led on a great strike In the face of them. If a business contract is not sacred between a railroad and a car company, would a contract that Mr. Debs's organization might secure with the railroads be more sacred? This is the stand the trainmen take.

TWO MURDERS. Striker Killed by a AVoninn AVntohntnii Stoned to Death. CHICAGO, July 6. Herbert Letters, a striking C, B. & Q. employe, was shot and instantly killed this afternoon by Mrs. Wm. J. Lehmann. Lehmann took the place of a C, B. &. Q. fireman who went on a strike. This afternoon, accompanied by Lis wife, he started to go to the work. The couple met Letters, who immediately entered conversation with them, his object being to persuade Lehmann to join the strikers. A riKht ensued, and Lehmann threw Letters down. Luring the progress of the tipht Mrs. Lehmann stood looking cn. but when she saw her husband struggling on the ground with his assailant she lost her self-control and, drawing his revolver from his hip pocket, she fired a shot at the man. The bulllet struck Letters in the heart. He died instantly. S. K. Ritchie, a watchman on the Fort "Wayne road, was stoned to death by a mob to-night. MEET I Mi OF IMOXISTS. Strike of All CliIcnRo AVorkingmen it PomIMI1Iv. 'HICAGO. July fi. Final action in reference to ordering a strike of members of j..l Chicago's trade and labor unions, in sympathy with the railroad strike, will be ; taken Sunday night. This was decided at a meeting of local labor leaders held at Ulrich's Hall to-day. Committees of three members of each organization were appointed, and will act in conjunction Sunday night In considering the question of ordering a general walkout of workingmen of Chicago. The meeting was called originally to protest against the presence of the federal troops in Chicago, but this as a cloak to hide the real object of the gathering. This was to effect a paralysis of the city's industries. Thomas I. Kidl, r.ec rotary ot the International Association of Machine Woodworkers, was made chairman, and appointed a committee of one to give out information of the proceedings to the press. Mr. Kidd said, after the conclusion of the meeting: "The delegates were unanimously in favor of giving the heartiest support to the A. R. IT. in its Hunt against the (Jeneral Managers' Association. Thre were numerous promises of assistance, but many of the union olflc-irs have no power to declare a strike. However, the meeting Sundsy next will deteriPne the pctuni rights fn the premises." Each niemlxr in attendance was pledged not to divulge the proceedings, but it was learned that the following were the chief speakers: E. J. I.indholm. of the Knights of Labor: M. J. Carroll, of the Eight-hour Herald; Victor B. Williams, of the typographical union; Richard Powers, of the Mairtn's union. Fannie Kavanagh was admitted to the conference, after a debate, and made a peppery talk. The following statement and resolution was adopted: "At a meeting of the representatives of trade and labor organizations held at . i i.m'm -al; -jiijy . K-ode-i t is sue the following call to all organized labor: "Resolved, That all labor organizations meet not later than Sunday. July 8. to select a committer of three members, to whom they shall delegate absolute power to act as in their judgment shall be conducive o the success of the strike now being conducted by the American Railway Union In the cause of humanity." Every industry in Chicago had representation at the conference. Vice President Howard said more trades were Included in the attendance than he had ever seen before. ine liuiidmg Trades Council of Chicago, with a membership of 25,000, has Issued a call to all organized labor throughout the country to strike. It Is reported to-night that Grand Master Sovereign, of tha Knights of Labor, has called out all members of his organization in the State of New York, and that he will establish his headquarters at Buffalo for the management of the strike. It is also reported that Debs and Sovereign left for Buffalo to-night, although it is denied at the strikers headquarters. Mny Cnune Pestilence. CHICAGO. July 6.
