CIIICA;, July Z. i:eiy policeman "Cn the South Side was called into servS 'f this aftein 1 n when word was received that tlu.ro was a Mr.. ka le on the Stock Is1.uk! road at Tv,vniy-lifth-st. A dozen cars had been thrown off the track and behind tlie obstru tins were "three passenger trains trying t pet Into Xhe city. Th us ands of people surroundfcJ tlie trains, an 1 the aspect Iwime so "threatening that the railroal ofli'-ial-pent In the call for p-dicem ?n to disperse Ihe mob. When th m ."u first attacked the train (tat Twenty-fifih-st. there were but few policemen there, and they could do nothing with the strikers. At Twcnty-se--D.nd-st. there was another gang, which 5ttemited to throw a freight car off the Sraek. While trying: to disperse the mob End prevent the striker-; from carrying .ut rheir purp se officer was struck jn the he id with a stone thrown by one "pf the crowd and seriously hurt. Ilein-"fo.-ements arrived and the nij was dispersed. Over two hundred policemen then patrolled tlie tracks and crossing "and protected the wrecking crew, which was engaged in replacing the derailed tars on the track. This was not accomplished until nearly 7 o'clock, when the first train started for the city. It moved out slowly. In front there was an empty freight car. Then tame the engine, which was guarded by twenty-five United States soldiers and as many policemen. The remainder of the train consist"! of coaches whi' h wore filed with policemen, soldiers and railway oflicUls-. The other two trains followed a snort distance behind, the last train having a nuil car attached. Assistant (hi-f Kepley was n the first train, and as it proceeded he ordered the vxtra policemen to g t ) Sixteenth-st., where it was thought another attempt might be made to obstruct its pj-csagp. No further trouble, however, occurred. lut the mail car attache. to the rear of the last train was cut off at Kightc-enth-st. by some unknown parties. As this train was not so heavily guarded as the others, the absence oi the mail car was not noticed until the train reached the Van liuren-st. depot. An engine, guardr 1 by policemen, left Immediately to bring th" train in. The most urgent rail after the one from Twfnty-fifth-st. and the Kock Jslan.l tracks, was for men at Thirty-ninth-st. and the Chicago &- Eastern Illinois trac ks. This call was sent out by General Manager Egan, who said that a mob was In control at that place and the police were unable to handle it. The mall car which was cut off at j:ighteenth-st. was afterward brought Into the city. It was found at Elgh-tenth-3t.. where it had been detached. The officials, who were on the engine, wanted to have two day coaches brought in, but the fireman and engineer refused to- go back for them. 'The mall car was then brought into the depot. Two deputy United States marshal nlmost created a riot at Thlrty-thlrd-st. nd the Pan-Handle tracks tonight, two men being shot and painfully wounded. About 12 o'clock two deputies, named Eugene Keck and Michael McOann, went Into a saloon at "We? tern -a ve. to get a drink. There was quite a crowd standing around the place at the time and the deputies were hooted at. When thy came out some one began throwing rocks at them and the deputies pulled tb-dr revolvers und tegaji firing. At ikl

sun,

time there was a lirge crowd around them, and lbnry Itochr and August lloss received bullets in the ami and legs respectively. Tlie shooting attracted the attention of the p dice and the two men were arrested, lty this time the crowd was thoroughly enraged at the action of the deputies and there was threats of lynching them. They wer? guarded, however, by the police, who Hn illy landed th'-ui at the station. Fourteen strikers an 1 sympathizers, arrested at K:lue Island by deputy United States marshals for obstructing the mails and contempt of the injunction, w re arraigned tonivht bo fore C mimissiouer lloyne and h- Kl in ?l.on bail each for trial Saturday. Marsh.d Arnold ,tid: 'Th-re will undoubtedly be serious trouble at the stock yards, as the troops cannot submit to much more stone, throwing and defiance without shooting. When tiny do this nothing can prevent th killing ami wounding of hundreds anil this, should it occur, will go far toward ending the strike abruptly." All the artillery ami cavalry stationed at the flock yards made a forced march, arriving at the lake flout opposite the Auditorium, at midnight, and went Into camp. These troops were marched down from the yards tonight on a special order from (ion. Mill s. Their camp at the yards was not broken tip. a detail being left to guard It. Tlie reason for this movement cannot be learne,! tonight, th commanding officers declining to talk. vk toiiv roil Tin: stiiikkus. Federal Troop I unlilo to Pull Out n Men Tmln. CITICAU.O, July 5. The regular troops nude their first charge on the strikers at the yards this morning. Ninety men of the Fifteenth regiment, under Maj. H irtz and Cnpts. Chapin, company tt, and Mitchell, company r, dispersed 3,000 men that were blockading the passage of a meat train near the entrance to the. yards. Swift Co. were starting a meat train fir New York. It was ready to leave the yards, but the crowd prevented its departure and refused to move from the tracks. Troops were sent for and the detachment under Maj. Hartz was soon on the ground. A short distance from the scene of the trouble the order to move on double quiek with fixed bayonets was given. Through the crowd the soldiers moved without resistance, and the rtrikers and their sympathizer fled without reforming. After the troops scattered the crowd at the first charge the train Btarted. The foot soldiers guarded the tracks and the cavalry preceded the train. Hooting and yelling on all sides, an Increased mob ran along calling the men scabs and trying to hinder the operation of switches. Many women were In the crowd and joined the men in deriding the troops and peace officers. Forty-thlrd-st. viaduct, under which the train passed, was crowded with angry spectators, but at this time the opposition confined Itself to nole. At Wallaco-st. the train stopped while at attempt was made to replace a switch that hid been thrown. Stonethrowing for the first time Interrupted the work. M. H. Wilght. an ofTieer of the packing company, was struck and knocked senseless by a rock. He had been trying to throw the wltch. His fall was the signal for n order to the cavalry to go In advance' of the train. At the first mve of the horsemen the rioters turned back and the railway men threw the switch. Without further troubi t:o tvaia fcrucecued to Polese &

Shopard's stone yards. Again the crowd closed in on the engine, and the threat of a chirge by the -avalry did not restore order. The order to clear the tracks was given and the horsemen rode into the crowd. The rioters tcttttred without being harmed. From this point to the Ft. Wayne crossing the tnin mad good headway. Closed gates at the crossing barred further1- progross, and the train came to a standstill. No one would open the gates and the d- lay was prolonged. P.--you I tic crossing several freight cars were dumped sideways on the tracks and it was impossible to pniivfl them. Neither police n r the soldiers woul 1 touch the cars. At oihcr points along the line the same bF-ckade was made and the afternoon was sp.nt in an attempt to f-traighten up the roadway. About PuO pcopln gathered around the stalle! train and any move by th railway ofTici is it was expected would meet with violent opposition. Leaving tlie meat train at the rosing the nvb siartcd down the tracks intent upon mischief. lUMrrs fired a pwitch t-.wr and lnler1 kir.g boxes near Fort i--t h-st. and Stevart-ave. Th"V drove t he p,ratir-f; ging from th-.- lower and when the structure was deserted it was set on tire. A switch b.. controlling th interlocking system v:h Ii red, but in both eise.- the flames were extinguished without causing the destruction of the property. A dummy train on the Ft. Wayne from Fast Chicago stopped near the crossing at which the meal tram was standing. It was the? object of an attack by one snction of the mob. The engineer and lireman weie driven from the cab and the windows were smashed in. The conductor and passengers ahand-med the train, and it was left to the mercy of the strikers. Win n it seemed p'rminen!ly abandoned the stiikers stopped their attack and continued then- march along the trae'KS. Other freight cars were dumped ac ross the tr.v Ks. The regulars remained with the meat ira'o. Intoxicated with success the Pig crowd rolled back to the stock train where the soldiers were under command of Maj. Hartij. Men. women and children got so close that time and again they collided, and then -the soMiers used the bult ends of their guns. In the meantime the Michigan Centra! officials were trying t- get a wrecking train to remove the overturned cars. They failed, and at t o'clock it was decided to take tie- train Ivo k to the stoek. yaid-s. Tic soldiers were about b form when a venturesome fellow shoved a, car si cross Stewart-.ive., at Fort iet h-st. An old man tried to plop It and the sol Hör, thihkii. he was trying to do s.ini" dan tare. barged on him. knocking him clown nnd cutting him badly on the head. The c ar was allowed to stand, and formed th? nucleus for the barricade thrown up when the shooting began. After that episode the train was a s,':t it; b o !-! into the yard, and" vmp.aded, the thousands following it and exulting over the victory won alter a hard dav's battl' A train of nuat, abted Pa New York :.t JF.a.iVta. had puüc.l out. but was compelled to go back.

A lbxk Isltnd passenger ttain. from IP.ck Island, was stopped at the sani' point ."Tid cars were cut from it and left on the track. Several cars and switch hantlrs nt Forty-ninth-st.. the jnt-rty of the Crand Trunk company, were set on fire this evening and destroyed.

itKMoKT to nm:. Ineeiiil;.- risin Overrun Ihp South Half of ( '!, !. CtllCACO. July fi. With flaming torch lawless lu r les of pre bugs are at work at a score rf points in th"1 south half of Chieagi. Fin s are raging in every direction among the numerou-s nilrovl yards, and hundreds of cars and tens of thousands of dollars' worth of merchanlis have already gone up in smoke or been carried off by th? now frenzied mobs of rioters. Incendiarism I- rampant. Alarm after alarm has followed in quick succession all day, and tonight at 11 o'clock the gare reil -cte.l from the heavens shows that the dastardly pastime continues unabated. From tally morning until this hour (midnight) reports of fresh outrages have I ecu received. Fires billowed each other with startling- rapidity, being confined, however, principally to railroad rolling stock and building against which, thus far, the greater part of the mob's fury has Ix-en directed. Early this morning a blaze started among sonn overturned cars at Kensington, cpulckly communicating to other tracks filled with long lines of cars. Many containing valuable merchandise were soon blaring furiously. Fanned by strong winds there were at this point a. total of eighty cars wiped out. At the stock yards one blaze after another was reported, r.nd from the outlying districts came urgent calls for engines and police protec tion, inc reasing In frcpieney. But with the falling shades of nignt came the cllmi.x of the fl-ry festival. The Fan-llindlo yard., from Fifty-fifth st. to Sixty-thit d-st. eight blocks are a nwö of lire. Ten tracks, containing from 1.00') to 2(H0 cars, half of them loaded, will be a total loss. Nu watet' being at hand the fire must burn itself out. The PanHandle station, at Sixty-thlrd-st.. was also fired and destroyed. The (Irand Trunk yards at Klston are a sea of llame and POO box cars are supposed t have been burned. All efforts to check Iho flames have been futile. Tlie flag shanties und other railroad property is also burning, anil no water except one stream from a plug at Fifty-first-st. can be obtained. While directing the movement of the eleventh Iwttalloti at this point. Fire I Marshal Kltzpatrlck was seized by the thoroughly frenzied mob of firebugs and thrown into a pond, from which he was rescued by the police, more dead than alive. Everything at thh point will probably be a total loss. At Hyde park, near the world's fair grounds, the ashes of forty cars are now smouldering, and Word has just come In that after numerous efforts the mob has succeeded In firing the Illinois Central shops at Burnside. At the stock yards tonight about fifty toughs, few of whom are railroaders, are skulking from point to point, and have set a large number of fires. Their method was thoroughly unique, loading several handcars with buckets of "waste" and oil, they would glide around among the cars in the darkness, lighting wads of the Inflammable stuff, which would be thrown Into the open doors of the cars as they passed by them. Fires sprung up on every hand and no organized effort on the part of the jolice seemed to be under way to Intercept them. . This Is the banner district of the city, if not of the entire country for all-round toughs, and It Is ns much as a man's life Is worth to interfere with them. Troops are hurrying south.' company after company In heavy marching order are moving to the turbulent district from the center of the city. The aggregate of the losses to the railroads will be enormous. Miles of their tracks have been ruined by the fierce heat: hundreds of swdtches. signal towers with their expensive mechanism were utterly ruined. Thousands of cars and untold quantities of merchandise of every Imaginable description have fed the flames and gorged the larders of thieves; valuable locomotives have been wrecked and disabled; miles of tangled wires and prostrate pole Utter the i round: telephone, telegraph, electric

light and flie, alarm wire" are now the spnoial object of attack, the plugging of tire alarm boxes constituting a new and dtnbly dangerous element in the tremendous wave of incendUrsm now sweeping over the southwest section of the city, preventing, as it does, notice "being receive! of the starting of fires until, with the poor water supply in thes" outlying districts, a fire has attained such headway that it cannot be stopped except thr.mgh lack of further miteritl on which to feel. Only one residence liqs ben burned thus far, as a direct result of the Incendiaries' work and that one in the sbck yards district and business buildings have rs.-aped altogether: but the wanton d--struciion of

railway pnpriey itinttes ttnchei kp I and with Increasing drstni.-tiveneps.

To illustrate the tactics ro-oited to by th Ir endl tries to hamper the work of the tiro depart tiu-nt, empty cartridges were furod int-, the Ueyh'.les of the lnenlarui b 'Xe-a, fijerne'i were knocked Juivn with stones n. bricks, and while working at fires the hordes of the departments Were stolen. At midnight all the ears In the yards had been destroyed. The nvb showed much method in its Incendiarism and hundreds of cars were rifKd and their contents carried away before the torch w?s applied. Tlie los in this yard tn'tht is estimated at $1.20V;.i. The Fiist r-'gonrnf of th slate troops T"0 strong, went to Hyde park and Kensington this evening. The S-ecnd. with about the same number of men. followed shortly after, being assigned to the stock yards district, undr direction of police Inspector Hunt.

Iliehard I'elT. a R - O. employe, also a deputy United States marshal, was killed at the Crand central depot this eveningl y the accidental explosion of a gun. William Martin was seriously wounded at the same time. The accident created great excitement at the general of.iet -s, of the road, which are adjacent to the rooms where the shooting took place, it being thought that sum? of the stiikers had gained an entrance into th room and were responsible for tne shoe-ting. At 3 a. m. the fires in the "Q" yards are wide- control ami the crowd dispersing. Ileports from other parts of the cityare to the effect -that all Is eje'-jt. No further trouble is anticipated before morning. Striker Sltot by n Wmntiii. CHICAGO, July .-Herbert Letter!, a striking C.

A StMire of Strikers Killed Iiy llie Troop unci l'itllf. CHICAGO, July 7. The strikers and the state of Illinois came together this afternoon and a pitched battle was the result. The number of killed and wounded will never be known, as the mob carried off a number of men who were seen to fall, and whether they were dead or wounded, or how many of them fell, it is impossible at this time to ascertain. As far as known the casualties were as follows: Dead : JOHN' r.l'RKK, striker, killed by a bayonet thrust through the abdomen. Wounded: Lieut. HARRY REED, company F, Second regiment. I. N O., struck on head by stone; condition critical. THOMAS JACKMAX, shot in back; will die. JOHN KONDER, stabbed with bayonet; will die. JO.SKl'H RHIXEP.ERC:, three bayonet wounds, may die. ANTON KOCMIN'SKI, sh't in the light FiJe. JOSEPH SZCEPAUSKI, shot in shoulder. Unknown boy, shot in left Kg. Unknown bov, seventeen years old, shot through abdomen; will die. Tony (Jajeuskl, shot in right arm. Henry Williams, shot in left arm. John Kerr, shot In hip. Annie Sieglet, shot ia risht log; amputation was necessary. Unknown man, shot through lier; will die. In all forty-one shot and bayoneted were taken to the drug stores at the corner of Forty-eighth and Looniis-sts. There a field hospital was improvised and the wounds of the least hurt were dressed. The fight occurred at the intersection of Forty-ninth-Ft. and the Grand Trunk tracks, a locality which has always had an evil name and which can produce any day two toughs for every square yard of territory within a radius of a hlf-mile. Serious trouble was expected there early this morning. ltefore 9 o'clock in the morning a mob had gathered and made threats of burn ing the ( i rand Trunk roundhouse. Aid was asked from the authorities and company K of the Second regiment. I. N. c;., thirty-eight strong, commanded by Capt. Kelley, was hurried to the spot. The militia was reinforced by a number of deputies and the mob was pressed back from the roundhouse. The mob gathered again at Flftieth-st. and began to turn over freight cars and tear up the tracks, rotier Altnrk he Mob. A squad of police under Lieut. Duffy attacked the mob and several shots were f fired on both sides, but nobody was hurt. The mob then went back once more to Forty-nlnth-st. and while a portion of ,the crowd, which by this time was fully 8,000 strong, occupied the militia and the deputies, others ran a freight car Into the pit of a turntable and made the machine useless. Superintendent Atwater and Yardmaster McKee of the Crand Trunk with a gang of men set to work to remove the obstruction, while the mob, which had now grown to be very ugly, stood around howling and hooting and occasionally letting fly a stone at the soldiers. This condition of affairs prevailed for two or three hours, the militia behaving with excellent fcpirlt and showing good discipline. Finally the mob, encouraged by the fact that the troops did not fire, began active hostilities a crowd of men pushed a freight car from a elding on to the track, where the train Which had brought the militia to the scene was standing, with the evident Intention of blocking the tracks so that the militia would have no line of retreat. Capt. Kelly conferred with Superlntedttut Atwater and concluded that it

was Impracticable to clear the track, and that as the mob was growing wilder every moment the best thing to do was to leave the ilace before the strikers proceeded to stich extremes and would necessitate his opening fire on them. He accordingly detailed the half of his company to move the car which blocked the track on which the train was standing and with the balance held back the crowd, which lir-pan to prfps closer and c loser, as it saw signs of the troops making a rvtreat. He drew his men back slowly, several times turning them to confront the crowd when it came too dose. Again and aeain the mob, snouting, howling and using the vilest language, made a ru-h, but every time Kelly met them steadily with his nir-n and the crowd paused before the threatening rifles. F'ially several toughs en the edge of the mob made n rush at Yardmaster McKee, one of them flourishing a revolver. MrKre drew his own revolver and fired, but the bullet flew witle.

The Order lo Fire. The strikers by tliis time were fairly wild with rage etui bricks, stones, hunks of coal and co inling pins rained r. round the troops. Lieut. Reed was struck twice on the head in quick succession by stones and fell to the ground like a rle.i.l man. Kelly then concluded the time had come and, wheeling bis men ciukkly, gave the word to charge and the handful of niiMiiamen sprung forward with P vlnl bayonets. John Burke was flan ling in front of the m"b throwing coal as fast as be could move bis arm. One of th first soldiers in the charge plunged his bayonet clear through his body, the point coming nut at the back. F.urke went down like a log and died in a few minutes. The m h broke before the charge, but quickly rallied nnd after n short pause came on again, sending a pattering "f revolver bulbtj, before it. The troops, the deputies and the police waited for no orders, but the rill s came t a level, revolvers were drawn and a storm of leaden death swept into the mob. Men fell rieht and l-ft. but the militia am! deputies and the police pressed forward, rapidly driving the crowd before them in the wildest confusion. It was all over in three minutes and the militia nv.irched into the!;- train and with the deputies returned to the city. They looked as though they bad been through a battle when they disembarked at I Marborn station. Their uniforms were torn, hats gone, they were covered with dust and dirt and many of them had been badly bruised by Hying stones. 'I'll in Us n I).cmi Wirf Killed. "I believe," said Superintendent Atwater, "that at hast a dozen men were killed. I saw men strewn till over the tracks and they were dead men, too. The mob was not far away when we began to fire and for about three minutes the militia, the deputies and the police, who fought like devils, were simply pouring lead into that crowd. We were close enough and the mob was big enough and I don't think many bullets went w ide. Th re we re more killed than we will ever know about." The statements of Superintendent Atwater as to the number of men shot down are upheld by tlie militiamen and by tlie deputies, many men declaring that they had seen the strikers carrying away m -n who were either dead or wounded. The Injured men, whose names are given, were brought to the city by the police and placed in the hospital. The reiMirt of the fight occasioned great excitement at army hc-adouarters and the request of Police Inspector Hunt that several companies of regulars and a (billing gun be sent out to the scene, added to the feeling. The mob became rpiiet at evening, however, and the regulars and artillery were held at the depot all night. At 9 o'clock a mob of two thousand or three thcusand people collected at the scene of th'.s afternoon's fight. They s-t fire to several onrs and three or four were burned before the fire department reached the scene. The flames are now under control. In Anutlirr SUirmlli. Capt. Kelly and company F. Second regiment, I. X. C were in a second skirmish at Ashland- ave. and Forty-nlnth-st. The nmb of P.ohemians and Poles filled the avenue and the Grand Trunk right-of-way. Some leader lan along a row of empty box cars and applied a bla.in? torch to the oil boxes. The sight of the flames made th- people crazy with delight, and down tlie avenue a stream of several thousand began rushing. Capt. Kelly's men were met with stones and their bayonets gleamed against the thousands fleeing into every available hole and crevice. Reinforcements were qui - kly summoned anl the crowd dispersed. Some of the rioters were slightly injured. Joseph Warzow.-ki was shot and fatally wountb'd by United States soldiers Peiight. lie claims hr was merely a spectator in a ciowd that was stoning a Pan-Handle freight train at Twenty-lirst-st. Martha Reach, a girl sevent-en years old, while watc hing a nmb of 15 -iiemitr.s and Italians who were trying to burn cats in the C., II. - Q. freight yards, at AshUnd-a ve., was instantly killed by a stray bullet during a poli.e charge. TIi real en I I no Hum It. A report was in circulation in the stock yards late this evening that some of the socialist ie element among the mob associated with the strikers have proposed to throw dynamite bombs into the camp of the militia after the soldiers have retired to rest. This report has created considerable excitement. Tim SIHOM IJATTI.1 Police Have NlruuKle Afler Ihc .Mititill I.CIIVCK. As the train with the militia on bard moved off fully 20,010 people crowded about the handful of police left behind. From all sides they rushed upon them, hurling- stones and iron in their mad assault. The men, realizing their position, drew their revolvers and, backing up against each other, prepared for a desperate battle. The crowd halted for a moment and Officer Ryf.n, breaking from the crowd, hurried to a patrol box and called the patrol wagon. Lieut. Keleher and twelve men responded, but in the meantime the crowd had closed In again on the now retreating police, following them with a volley of stones. A car was soon set on fire, the switch close by broken and rails torn up. An alarm of fire was sent in, and with It a second call for police assistance, to which Capt. O'Neill and thirteen men responded. The condition of things was extremely critical. Loomlsst., the heart of the anarchistic settlement, was crowded by a howling, shrieking mob. The patrol horses were urged through It. the crowd sullenly parting. Without flinching they clubbed their way through to their fellow, and then all started back against the crowd. At the sight of the reinforcements the crowd feil back. Each ofrtcer thought his life in danger, and without any order they raised their weapons and fired as fast as possible directly into the crowd, which wavered, and then beat a retreat, first replying to the unexpected rain of phot with a shower of stones. As they retreated, leaving several on the ground, the police followed wltn clubs, showing no mercy. At every step they knocked a Couliiiued uu Third Vixsc

None of the cabinet oflicials were willing to discuss the proclamation at the conclusion of the conference, but the following dispatch, which was -sent from the war department to Gen. Miles at Chicago this evening, serves in a measure to interpret the intention of the president's action: "In view of the provisions of the statute and for the purpose of giving ample warning to all innocent and well-disposed persons, the president has deemed It best to issue the following proclamation tonight. This does not change the scope of J'CÄi' iiütllILiriiar Aful GiUlw cor your re-

latlons to local authorities. You wll'. please make this known to Mayor Hopkins."
