. A YWARNING, | President Cleveland Issues an Important Proclamation. ' In Effect It Places the City of Chicago Under Martial Law.-Citizens Are Cautioned Against Participating | o in Riotous Gatherings. THE PRESIDENT ACTS. WASHINGTON, July 9.—The following dispatch was sent from the war department to Gen. Miles at Chicago Sunday evening: o . “In view,of the provisions of the statutes and for the purpose of giving ample warning to all innocent and well-disposed persons, the presiéent has deemed it best to issue the following proclamation to-night. This does not change the scope of your authority and duties, nor z{our relation to the locdl authorities. You {ll please make this known to Mayor Hopkins.” o o Just before midnight’ President Cleveland issued the following: ““ PROCLAMATION . “By the Presidentof the United States: “Whereas, By reason of the unlawful obstructions, combinations and assemblages of persons it has become impracticable, in the judgment of the president, to enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings the laws of the United S:iates within the state of | Illinois. and especially in the city of Chicago, within said state; and i ‘““Whereas, For the purpose of enforcing the faithful execution of the laws of the United States and protecting its property and removing obstructions to the United States mails in the state and city aforesaid, the president has employed a part of the military of the United States. . i 2o “Nc¢w, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, do hereby admonish all good citizens and all persons who may be or may come within the city and state ‘aforesaid, against alding, countenanecing, encouraging or taking part in such unlawful obstructions, combinations and as- | semblages; and I hereby warn all persons engaged in or in any way connected with such | unlawful obstructious, combinations and assemblages, to disperse and retire peaceably to - their respective abodes on or before 12 o'clock noon on the 9th day of July inst. - | “Those who disregard this warning and persist in taking part with a riotous mob in forcibly resisting and obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States, or interfering with the functions of the government, or destroying, or attempting to destroy the property belonging to the United States or under its protection, cannot be regarded otherwise than as public enemies. . “Troops employed against such a riotous mob will act with all the moderation and for-: bearance consistent with the accomplishment of the desired end; but the necessity that confronts them will not with certainty permit diserimination between gulilty . participants and those who are mingled with them from curiosity and without criminal intent. The only safe course, therefore, for those not actually unlawfully participating is to abide at their honies, or at leastnot to be found in the neighborhood of riotous assemblages. - “While there will be no hesitation or vacil‘lation in the decisive treatment of the guilty, this warning is esbecially intended to protect and save the innocent. . . . “GROVER CLEVELAND.” - This course was determined upon by the president upon. the reception of the latter dispatches from Chicago, all of which tended to show the unruly disposition of the mobs in that city and across the state line at Hammond. While, asstatedin the foregoing, the outbreak at Spring Valley probably precipitated it, the president’s action, it is said, is based on the fact that the well-being of all the states is menaced by the insurrection-in Chieago. Lines of transportation are interrupted, the mails cannot be carried, and supplies® of food are cut off. - The entire country is disorganized. , In the riots of 1877 President Hayes issued a proclamaftion covering Pennsylvania. It was not couched in terms so severe as the present one, but its effect was immediate. ALL WILL STRIKE: Chicago Trades Organizations Decide t& Go Out Tuesday. CHICcAGO. July 9.—By order and authority of the allied trades of -Chicago 'a general strike of all union wage ~earners was declared at 3:55 o’clock this morning by the great labor ' meeting at Uhlich’s hall, said strike ' to take effect at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon unless a compromise is reached ‘ between Pullman and the strikers. . 'The claim is made tkat President lClevevland’s proclamation precipitated ' the result although the strike would ' ultimately had been declared, but not for four or five days. A delegate said that the proclamation was read amid profound silence at 1 o’clock this morning, and the whisper went round: *‘lf we don’t order the strike now we will be preventgd from meeting to carry out the plan in the future.” The delegates heard with wonder and alarm the message from the president. Then they acted promptly. The proclamation settled the question that five hours’ debate had failed to do. It had been almost decided that the delegates should delay the strike until Saturday by sending committees to St. ‘Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee, and other large cities in the northwest. These committees were to carefully examine the situation, to consult with union wage earners in those cities, to gain their allegiance, ‘and then returning to Chicago after all details had been carefully arranged to declare the strike on or about Saturday. The reading of the proclamation shattered this irogra,mme. Three hundred delegates, representing 100 different unions and more than 105,000 'wage earners of Chicago, then cast their votes for the strike.

Ten Killed, Twelve Injured. ‘ MADRID, July 9.—News has been received of the derailing of a passenger train between Lezana and Bilbao, the ca}i)ital of the province of Biscay, 6 miles from the mouth of the Nerva.

WasHINGTON, = July 9..— Treasury officials have been compelled to stop all shipments of cash to points west of the Ohio river in consequence of the strikes. Under their contracts with the government the express companies are not liable for losses incurred in consequence of riots or other unlawful acts of that character. This situation is unfortunate, particularly at this time, as pensions are now being paid in Chicago and money it needed there for that purpose. . KILLED BY THE CARS. Sad Fate of Three Young Ladies at : ‘Olathe, Kan. ' OLATHE, Kan., July 9. —Three young ladies named Lizzie and Lena Breyfogle, daughters of ex-Senator L. W. Breyfogle, and Miss Carroll, who reside about 1 mile northeast of Lenexa, met with sad deaths about 5 o’clock Friday afternoon. They were ih a buggy driving to Eenexa, and were crossing the Kansas'City, Fort Scott & Memiphis railroad track near their ‘bome when their buggy was struck by ‘a'north bound passenger train, killing Whem lpetanbly. .

o BLOOD IS SHED. Troops Fire Into Mobs at Chicago and Hammond—Several Lives Lost, CHICAGO, July 9.—The first real battle of the strike occurred Saturday afternoon. -Bayonets, bullets and stones were the weapons used and the combatants were members of the state militia and a body of 2,000 strikers. As a result two of the latter are dead, a score or .more wounded, and five of the soldiers are suffering from centusions received by stones thrown by the rioters. - During the afternoon a detail of thirty-eight members of Company C, Illinois national guard, under command of Capt. Kelly, were detalled to protect the men employed on-a wrecking train to clear the debris from the tracks of the Grand Trunk road. ‘At Forty-ninth and Loonis streets the ~mob became so abusive and demonstrative that an attempt was made to drive it away at the point of the bayonet. The charge was met by pistol shots and a shower ;of stones from the ranks of the rioters. Finding that bayonet thrusts had no effect in awing the angry strikers, Capt. Kelly ordered a volly fired over the heads of the enemy. This was met by a return fire of stones and several members of the militia fell from blows thus received. Retreating a few paces, Capt. Kelly formed his men in line of battle and gave the word to fire into the ranks of the foe. Without hesitation the soldiers obeyed the command, and thirtyeight Yullets sped on their mission of death. The aim of the militiamen had been true, and when the smoke cleared away two dead men lay upon the ground, while twenty - others wounded were being carried away by their co-rioters. ‘

¢Thomas Jackson, one of the men‘ wounded in the riot, died in the hospital on Sunday. ' During the early part of the evening a conflict ensued between members of company D., Fifteenth United States infantry, and a body of strikers who were engaged in overturning and burning cars in the Pan-Handle yards:" The soldiers fired on the mob and one man was killed. | Mob rule at Hammond was -broken Sunday only after a bloody battle. At dawn thousands of rioters obeyed the hoarse-voiced commands of a brawny fanatic. The track from yard to yard and crossing to crossing was strewn with overturned freight cars, battered and burned coaches, twisted rails and broken switches. Nonunion trainmen were assaulted and beaten. Telegraph operators were driven from their posts and their instruments burned out and railway offices were broken into and looted. The wires of the city electric light system were cut that the mob might do its deeds in darkness. Policemen, deputy sheriffs and United States marshals were absolutely powerless. Their resistance was treated with jeers of derision. The rioters were a hundred to their one. . : ~ Atlla. m. Company D, Fifteenth regiment United States infantry, from Fort Sheridan,. under command of Capt. Hartz, arrived. 'Their numbers “were 5o small that the mob yelled its defiance. Until 4 o'clock an armed peace was sustained; then the mob, grew desperate again and began its work of overturning cars. The regulars opened fire with deadly etfect. Onme man was killed and four wounded. = ' President Debs, on behalf of the A. R. U., and Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knighfs of ILabor, have joined in a telegram to President Cleveland in which, after making an explicit and concise statement of the causes of the strike and the situation as it is. ask $o have the federal troops withdrawn from Chicago. They say their presence is an insult to honest labor and has merely angmented the feeling of unrest. They proclaim their fidelity to the American flag, and pledge the support of the organizations which they represent in preserving the peace. | 'WASHINGTON, July 9.—A general concentration of troops at Fort Sheridan has been ordered. The troops ordered to Chicago consist of three batteries of artillery at Fort Riley, Kan., under command of Maj. Randolph, and four troops of cavalry from the same post; four troo%s of cavalry from Omaha, and the Ninth regiment of infantry from Sackett’s Harbor, N. Y. | Notes.

A labor meeting at New York Sunday indorsed the strike'and condemned the action of the federal government in sending troops to Chicago. : : The soldiers stationed at Grand Crossing have had but little to do, the strikers at that point having been very quiet since the arrival of the troops. o ‘ All the gun supply houses in the city are olosely guarded, as it is feared that in case of a general riot an attempt will be made to pillage such places. : : All members of the American Railway union in Toledo. 0., one of the principal railroad centers of the United States, have been ordered out by President Debs. ’ > .

PRINCETON, 111., July 9.—The general Jmerchandise store of the White Breast ‘Fuel company at Ladd was,thoroughly 'looted Saturday night by a mob of 1,200 /alien miners from Spring Valley. The stock was valued at $30,000 and will be a- complete loss. The mob was composed ?f Lithuanians, Poles, Belgians and Italians, being of the same class that has caused the depredations -at Spring Valley, and most of them the same men. G

" The attack upon the company’s | store Saturday night was not only for ithe purpose of securing plunder, but | with a view to entirely destroying the property of the coal company. The | 'strikers have become so emboldened | by their successes of the last few days that they made known Saturday night for the first time their plans for the future. It is the sacking of the buildings of coal companies, the destruction of the machinery and the burning of the mines. No one here | doubts that this plan has been fully agreed upon. This work, the miners assert through their leaders, will be accomplished before Tuesday night. Following the destruction of com-. pany stores at Spring Valley and Ladd the miners had in mind the looting of: the company store at Seatonville. For | this purpose a division left Spring Valley and T.add in small groups, and by 7 o'clock Sunday evening had amassell a force of several hundred on the bluffs near Seatonville. In the meatime Sheriff Cox returned to Princeton and by ringing the fire bell brought out a crowd of l people from whom eighty were selected and deputizéed. They were also furnished with rifles and ammunition that the governor had furnished and started in wagons for Seatonville. Arriving at the® latter place about @ . oelock the men were given a position near the company store. The miners sent out scouts-and upon learning the strength of the deputies retreated to Spring Valley. e Over the east half of the county a reign of terror has set in and woman’ and children have been leaving the towns in that sectjon in large numbers. Valuable property of all kinds is being secreted. At Seatonville Sun-. day night, a village, of 1,200 people, there were scarcely enough women in | the town to prepare supper for the deputies. e " Vehicles of all kinds have been pressed into service to get the people. away. Wild stories of every descrip-l tion have been circulated that added greatly to the excitement. Reports offarm houses Dbeing looted were frequent, but upon being - traced were found to be greatly exaggerated. At Spring Valiey the striking miners have had possession of the l city. Sunday morning a meeting was held on the Rock Island tracks east of town at which,the non-English-speak-ing men predominated. It was resolved to effectually stop traflic on the railroads passing through Spring Valley. and the meeting broke up for th purpose of carrying out the resolu_tiofi Going to a point a half mile south the depot ‘the track of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad was obstructed by placing on it a large quahntity of timbers, rails and ‘stones. ' The way car of a freight train that was standing in the depot was completely riddled by picks and a shower of bricks and stones. The operators.at the Rock Island and other depots were run outof town. e .

At 10 o‘clock the indications were that the men would sack the residence of S. M. Dalzell, general manager of the Spring Valley Coal company; and also the homes of all officials connected with the company. At -the former place twelve guards. were stationed early in -the evening, but they cannot hold the place unless soon relieved by the deputies on their way hére. Mr. Dalzell sent his family out of the city early Sunday morning. The saloons and many of the business houses have been compelled by threats of looting to.contribute all that was demanded by the leaders of the mob. Beer is free to all comers and many drunken brawls have been the resuit. Ladd was revisited and the home of General Manager McCrary, of the White Breast Fuel company, completely looted. The piano, pictures, furniture: and all ornamental articles were broken to pieces with axes and clubs and all the wearing apparel of the family carried off, as well as a new bicycle. Not an article of value was leit about the premises. - SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 9.—Sneriff Cqok, of Bureau county, telegraphed Gov. Altgeld giving a statement of thé situation at Spring Valley, and asking that ‘troops be sent to aid him in res storing quiet. A similar-dispatch was received from Sheriff Taylor, of La Salle county, who said =he néeeded troops to help liim defend the cities of Peru and La Salle, threatened avith invasion by the mob. The governor issued orders for companies A and C of the Sixth infantry to proceed at once to Spring Valley and cooperate with the sheriffs of Bureau and La Salle counties in suppressing violence and restoring order. o ' ;
