There Are Unquestionable Indi cations That the Strike Is Weakening in Other Parts of the Country. TRAINS SENT OUT On All the Railroads at Chicago Today. 1 11 inoisCert rallies umesFreight and Passenger Trallie. Chicago, July 9. Hinged upon the remote contingency that George M. Pull man will .wihin the uext twenty-four huur j agnw U submit to arbitration, or otherwise s Ule the difficulty existing beti sen the Pullman company and its ex-employes, is the question whether or not the next twenty-four Lours will wit ness a cessation of. all labor on the part of the allied trades not only in Chicago, but through the. country. Probably never before in the history of this country was a meeting of organ ized labor called together that was fraught with Riore importance -than that whica met at I hiieh's hall last evening. That all wei not harmonious, notwith standing iiery speeches by Messrs. Sov ereign of the Knights of Labor, Iebs of the A. it. L and other labor leaders, is evidenced by the fact" 'that it was 4 o'clock this morning when the conven tion finished balloting on the proposi tion. The question was decided in the af firmative by itii overwhelming vote, how ever, and the ultimatum propounded that if Pullmta doej not reach a definite tiu dersiau diu r with his late employes be fore Tuesday, t,ho allied trades unions of Chicago wilt open the ball at 7 a. m., Wednesday by walking out in a body. An idea of tha widely diversified in terests involvel in this latest movement may be gained by a glauce at the sub joined list representing but a portion however of tl e industries affected, repre sentatives of tuee lodges being actually present: Colons to Go Out.

Besides all these an effort will be made to get outhe employes of all surface and -elevated transportation lines in this city. Although these men are poorly organ- ized, the leaders of the great strike movement. Leiieve mat me majority ui them can be induced to come out. Labor Leniler Make Speeches. The conference of labor leaders occu pied the whole night. Inflammatory speeches were made by Debs, Sovereign, MeBride and others. A committee of seveir was appointed to wait on Mayor Hopkins to endeavor to have him make a last effort to bring about arbitration. The committee is comprised of J. W. Ilatie, T. J. Elder kin, E J. Litidholm, J. J. Ityan, James Currie, A. Oattermull and Thomas I. KidiE Nearly every trade in the city will be- affected, including street car men. fchortly before 3. a. m., a motion was made to prov.de that George M. Pull man be given until 4 o'clock this after noon to decide whether he would submit the differences between the compauy ami the former employes to arbitration. If he refused to comply with the de mand, then the strike was to be consid ered on. Some of the delegates wanted to leave the matter undecided and take final ac tion after Mr. Pullman and railroad managers had declined to arbitrate. Earnest speeches were made on both aides of the question, tut it was voted down on a viva voce vote. To o Our Wednesday Mnrningr. A motion was then made to call out every union at a. in. Wednesday morn ing unless meanwhile some adjustment could be made with Pullman and on roll call, this was adopted. It was understood that this move was much less important than was at first supposed for several r utsons: First, it is claimed that a num ber t)f the unions including the printers, the marine engineers and the brick makars will refuse to be bound by the or der: second, a very larsre percentage of the other men are already i J. e because of the general shut-down, which has resulted from the coal famine. Thomas L Kidd, secretary of the Xational Machine Wood Workers' union, was elected president and Harry McCormick of the Carpenters' council, secre'ary. Among the leaders present were J.' P. Sovereign of the Knights of Labor; E. V. Debs of the A. R U.; George How ard, vice president of the A. li. U. Jas. .VeBride, president of the Miners' national organization; W. 1). Prescott of the Typographical union; James Mahan, president ot the national organization oi the street car inen;-M. II. Madden of the state federa tion of labor; Richard Powers, president of the Seamen's union; James 'Cnnell, president of the machinists organization and E. G. Martin, president of the execu tive board of the Knights of Labor. uvin Traiai. President Egan of the General Man agers' asssociation said this morning that every road in Chicago, without excep tion, was moving trains, and most of them on time. Several freight trains, he said, departed this morning. Two national presidents have arrived in the city and had a conference with President Del s aud other oflicers of the A. K. U. They are John Mciiride of the mine 'workers association and W. D. Mahan of the Xational Association of Street Car men. These make live national oflicers that are now in the city, the others being General Master Workman Sovereign, of the Kniirhts of Labor; J. W. McKinney, of the Brotherhood of Painters and Dec orators, and O'Conneil, tf the Machin ists. Th live will have a conference to day. T"xpct Xo Mora Klotlntf. 10:15 a. m. Everything is quiet here and the feeling grows that there will be no more-serious rioting. The roads are all moving their passenger tr.tins and a number are starting their freights. It is quite clear that the mobs of yes terday were composed chiefly of idlers from the packing houses and that there were very few railway men tjok part. President Cleveland's proclamation and the order of President Debs to his fol lowers to avoid any lawlessness seems to have been very effective. Wabash trains "were delayed in reach ing the city today and finally came on the Fort W ayne tracks. The de tour was necessary because bridge at Clark sta tion had been burned during the night. The bridge was a small atT lir, but its destruction blocked the roai Kioters are supposed to have fired the trestle during the night. Its destruction was discovered before any trains w ere due, aud the danger of an accident was averted. Troop. VIr i Volley. At an early hour this morning fome boj'S u'nd idie men who had gathered at the Forty-ninth street crossmg of the Grand TrQnk road threw stones at a squad of state militia stationed at that point. The latter tirst made a charge upon the mob and then on a renewal of the stone throwing, tired a volley into the crowd. The crowd escaped ii.to J.he adjoining houses and, it was not learned whether anv one was hurt. The ehooting was done' by a squad cf j the Second regim,eutf I.liuois national j guards. Little work was done in the stock yards today. John B. Sherman an nounced that no attempt would be made for a few days to resume work. Armour Co. sent out 100,000 pounds of dressed beef before daylight this moruing to the city markets. It was shipped in wagons guarded by yard employes. The commission men of the yards have organized for the defense of property ia siiie the yards and protection outside wll be delegated to special officers. Cleveland Precipitnitt It. f After the reading of President Cleve land's proclamation at the meeting of the trades unions last night, many of the conservatives it is said became radical In their views and were anxious to join the strikers. A decision is looked for soofr. The following communication was" sent to Mayor Hopkins last niirht: llEAU(il AKTKRS I ABRAHAM LINCOLN" 1'OST. No. 91. f Chicago, lii., Juty s. ls:-4. To Hon. J. P.

A thousand more United States troops will arrive in Chicago today as re-in-forcements to those already' in the lield. They will go into encampment on the lake front on their arrival. These rein forcements have been ordered forward in anticipation of a general strike in Chicago and the fear of more violence resulting from the enlarged army of idle men on the streets. From Fort Riley, Kansas, are coming four troops of cavalry,' and three battal ions of artillery, the former under com mand of Major Morris and the latter under the command of Major liandolph. The detachment comprises 5S0 men. A squadron of the Ninth and one of the Fifth left Fort Niobrara, Neb., last evening, consisting of 20J men. Eight companies of the Ninth infantry, from Sackett's Harbor and Fort Oswego, N. Y., are enroute to Chicago, They were at Buffalo last night and are expected jto arrive during this afternoon. In addition the entire Second regi me ut, infantry, is held in reserve at Omaha. Marshal Arnold yesterday received a copy of ;ju injunction from the federal court at Cincinnati similar to the one li-led in Chicago and Indiana, which will be served upon Debs and Howard today. 3iilea on thf .Proclamation. .Notice that President Cleveland's pro clamation establishing martial law was about .to be issued was received at army hea.b juarters late last night. At midnight Gen. Miles was seen. "Dues the proclamation' mean martial law';" he was asked. "It amounts to the same thing. It means that whoever disobeys it is a pub lic enemy, aud us such is to be de stroyed."' "Does it place you in-command vi the state troops?". "N'o; the president is acting in accord ance with law and under the authority conferred on him by the constitution. It means that all riotou3 persons and all persons w ho incite to riot are enemies to the constitution and will be treated as such." Wliat th Proclamation 3Iao... This was all Gen. Miles would say. From excellent authority, however, it comes that president's proclamation means the military can arrest whoever incites to riot and that it can disperse mobs on railroad tracks or any where else without further warning than that con veyed in the proclamation, which course an order to the troops. Copies of the proclamation were of prin- ted this morning and posted on the road tracks in all sections' of the The president's action, it is is based on the fact that rail city. 8 a id the well-being of all the is menaced by the insurrection states in Chica go. Lines of traneportatiou are inter rupted, 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 proclama tion covering Pennsylvania. It was not couched in terms so severe as the present one, but its effect was immediate. K.utlit of Labor S-nke Postponed. Graud Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, said this morning that be had determined to delay the order for a strike of his order until Wednesday. He said: "I make this postponement to await the outcome of tiie tight among Chicago trades unions. I do not consider it impos sible that the tremendous importance of a paralysis of Chicago's industries will force George M. Pullman and the railroads to meet the A. K. U. half way in measures fur a settlement. It is high time that the public sentiment should move the corporations to arbitration. "Mr. Debs has ail along evinced his willingness for arbitrat ion and the general mauagers should assume that m inner too. As soon as the result of the conference between Mayor Hop kins and the Union committee is known then we shall lase up toe ques tion of calling out the Knights of Labor. I feel that tiie u don meu did tae ngnt thing last night. The minute the presi dent's proclamation was issued I knew there could be but one event the strike order and I am glad of it." Adjutant General Martin received a telegram today from Col. Bartlett of -the Niith United States infantry, stating that they had arrived at Toledo and barr ing accident, they would reach Chicago not later thau 3 o'clock this afternoon. Colonel Croft'ou of Fort Sheridan said today that since President Cleveland's message warning all law-ab:di ig c.tizens to stay at home, troops will be more will ing to lire, and that when they do so it will be to kill and to spare none. The impression was general about mil itary headquarters that the proclamation of the president, to aay nothing of the troops arriving Saturday and Sunday, has had a telling effect upon the riotous element, as well as the sen sible people who have taken heed and stayed away from localities where trou-. ble is likely to occur. Noerious efforts of violence or mobs congregated, were received at Gen. Miles' office and this was taken as an indication that the situ ation was generally a quiet one. Six freight cars were burning this morning before daylight on the Illinois Central tracks at Buruside. John Ileppein Red Hogan, John Coleran, John Grady, Ben Leen aud Robert Blair were fouud at the tire and were arrested on suspicion of being tire bug. They were taken to Kensington police station. They were fined ifijij by Justice Robbing. The lire department reports that the total amount of damage done to railway property by fire during the past 43 hours amounts to -f 1,500.000. The;c! B. a; q. bridges at Earlville, I1L, and Corning, iowa, were burued down by sparks from the locomotives, as a re sult of the very dry weather prevailing there. They were not burned by strik ers as reported. The committee of seven appointed by the labor leaders at Uhlich's hall last night called upon Mavor Hopkins promptly at 10 o'clock "today. They asked him to arrange for a cit izeus' com mittee, Urawu from influential business men, winch will undertake to force Pull man to submit to arbitration. Mayor Hopkins referred the matter to a committee appointed for this purpose by the city council a week ago and tuey ar ranged to meet that committee at 10 o'clock. They told the mayor they were under orders to report early Wednesday. H'ant 0jiiiern i Cume.

Triad to IS. op leat WatniM. Fifty men attempted to stop a train of wagons loade ith meat for the city trade which (t he stuck yards just be fore daylight iTnorning. The wagons were sent out in a body and early with the hope of outwitting any marauders. The train started east on Thirty-ninth street and was unmolested until it reached Union avenue were a gang of fifty rioters rushed out from behind houses and grasped the bridles of the horses aud attempted to pull the drivers off -their seats. The police authorities had heard of the premeditated attack, aud had stationed a policeman at every cor ner along the route. When the alarm was sounded the police came to the aid of the drivers, and their assailants were driven off after a severe clubbing. Mayor Hopkins has called on Governor Altgeld for another regiment of slate troops. Fort Wayne and Lake Shore officers are trying to replace the strikers with negroes. The appearance of the blacks called forth jeers but no violence. Omul at H am llloxitl. The Chicago ifc-Erie railroad offi cials report that Hammond was very quiet this morning.
