THE STRIKE STILL ON.

The Chicago Newspapers, However, Expect to Resume Publication on Wednesday. Chicago, July s.—None of Chicago’s newspapers will resume publication before Wednesday morning. The publishers had made all arrangements for resumption today with papers four pages In size, to be increased day by day as rapidly as practicable. Monday evening the president of the International Typographical union and district organizer waited on the publishers and made a strong request that publication be deferred 24 hours longer, urging as a reason that if the issue had to be met by their union now there might be trouble about observing their contract obligations with the publishers. They are very sanguine that their union will keep to its contract and not quit because of the stereotypers' strike, but wish an opportunity to canvass and discuss the matter to-day. The publishers assert that stereotypes ’ are coming into the city from various points in very gratifying numbers and are confident that they will be well equipped for Issuing papers slightly reduced in size by Wednesday morning.
