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.

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.

Those Disobeying the Order lieirarded as Public Enemies. Washpn-otox, July 9. Just before midnight last nig-ht President Cleve land issued the following: Proclamation by the president of the United States. Whereas, By reason of unlawful ob struction, combinations and assem blages of persons, it has become im practicable in the judgment of the president to enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceeding's tha laws of the United States within the state of Illinois and the city of Chica go within said state; and Whereas, That for the purpose of enforcing- the faithful execution of the laws of the United States and protecting- its property and remivinj obstructions to the United States in the state and city aforer.aid, the presi dent has employed a part of the mili tary forces of the United States. Now, therefore, I, Orover Cle vel and, president of the United States, do hereby admonish all g-ood citizens, and all persons who may be or may come within the city and state afore said, ag-ainst aiding-, countenancing-, encouraging- or taking- any part ia such unlawful obstructions, combina tions and assemblages; and I hereby warn all persons eng-ag-ed in, or in any connected with such unlawful ob structions, combinations and assem blages, to disperse and retire peace ably to their respective abodes on or before 12 o'clock noon, June 9. Those who disreg-ard 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 g-o vernment, or destroying- and attempting- to de stroy the property belong-ing- to the United States, or under its protection, can not be regarded otherwise than as public enemies. Troops employed against such a riotous mob will act with all modera tion and forbearance consistent with the accomplishment of the desired end, but the necessities that confront them will not with, certainty permit discrimination be tween guilty participants and those who are mingled with them from curiosity and without crimiual contempt. The only safe course, there tore, for those not actually un lawfully participating- is to abide at their homes or at least not to be found in the neighborhood of riotous assem blages. While there will be no hesitation or vacillation in the decisive treatment of the g-uilty, this warning is especial ly intended to protect and save tha innocent. In testimony whereof T hereunto set my hand and cause the seal of the United States to tie hereto atlixed. Done at the city of Washing-ton. this 8th dav of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, and the independence of tiie United States of America the one hundred and eighteenth. Ukovkk Clkvicla.vd, president. W. Q. Gkesiiam, secretary of state. The proclamation, practically de claring martial law in Chicatro. was decided upon after a full discussion in the cabinet meeting-. This is ths action which General Miles has de sired from the beginning-, as it will give him more ample authority ia the city. None of the cabinet ofHei:iis were willing to discus the proclamation at the conclusion of the confer -noe, but the following dispatch which was sent from the war department to General Miles, serves in a measure to interpret the intention of the presi dent's action: "In view of the provisions of stat ute, 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. This does not change the scope of your authority and duties, nor your relations to local authorities. You will please make this known to Mayor Hopkins." WASHINGTON AUTHORITIES. Tfae I'reaident and Cabinet Closely WatcliiuK tha Strike Situation. Washington July 9. The presi dent and his cabinet are watching the development of the strike with un abated vigilance, and soon after break fast yesterday morning, when in ordinary times the president probably would be taking a pleasure driva in the country, he was surrounded by his constitutional advisers, reading bulletins from the West and discussing probabilities of the future. During the morning- Sen-tors Du bois and Shoup of Idaho called at tha White house to urge federal protec tion for Wallace, Idaho, where rioting" is reported. The situation in Idaho presents a different phase from tha troubles elsewhere, as the trouole is not connected with the railroad 6trike. and the governor has called for federal troops. It was pointed out to the senators that the governor must certify that he has exhausted all of the resources in his power before the president can respond. The senators telegraphed the fact to the governor with sugges tion how to proceed, anl if he fol lows them by a formal statement in due form, United States troops from Fort Sherman .will ba speedily dis- patched to Wallace to quell the rioters. Late last nig-ht the following- tele gram was received: Boise Citt, Idaho. July 8. Your telegram rltinz me the law received. I am familiar with the statute to which yon refer, but it Iocs not cover the case. We have to deal with hidden and organized issaasin and dyn amiters several hundred stron provided with arms Guarded by their experience of two years ago, ihcy are not now m open insurrec tion, but are hhtitiK secretly mad under cover. Many peaoeable citizen have been ordered to leave the countrj. The sheriff dociares hia inability to protect life and property. We have not suf ficient militia to support him, and nothing but the presence of troops will restore con fidence and Safety. This is no time to quibble over questions of law and precedents. Tb.9 conditions are new and serious blood has been sued and property destroyed 1 there fore believe my request to the president for troops eaibodie ail that should be required, and ask that you unite in petitioning him for the aid we need. W. J. McCosnell, Governor. Much gratification is felt here in the issue by Archbishop Feehan of his circular to all Catholic priests enjoining- them to impress on their congregations the patriotic duty of yielding- respect and obedience to the Sawful authorities. It is believed that a larg-e portion of the strikers are church-a-oiag people and that the Chicago ministers of all denomina tions will counsel Iheir flock in the line indicated by the archbishop. OVER AT ST. LOCIS. The Great Strike Practically at an End in Thit City. St. Louis, Mo., July 8. The great railroad strike, so far as St. Louis is concerned, may be said practically to be approaching an end and the only desideratum now is ability to transfer to outlying railroads trafiio originating here and hauled over divisions having St- Louis as the originating point. On the west side of the river the return last night of the Missouri Pacific switch and yard men has resulted in the trooping back to work of all but forty of the 350 men hitherto engaged in freight-yard work in the various yards on the West side. Passenger traffic, all of which is handle! from the west side of the river, is on a normal basis, the only trains not running being a few "du plicates," as they are called, and one or two accommodations. And these are laid off from lack of business, not inability to handle them. The Ter minal Railway association has a full force at work on the West side also. One exception to all this is the Wa bash railway, which is still crippled, but has so far progressed as to be pre pared to start a way freight each way on each division to-day. With these will come a test of whether the quiet at Decatur, 111., Moberly, Mo., and other outside division points indi cates the end of the troubles there. MAYOR HOPKINS' VIEWS. He Ttelleves That the Crisis Has Beea Passed Expects oo Slore Trouble. Chicago, July 9. "I believe the crisis has been passed, and that there will be no more serious trouble." said Mayor Hopkins last night. "The shooting- into the mob by state troops Sat urday afternoon has shown the law less element what it may expect, if it persists in its outbreaks against law and order. Thugs and criminals who have been masquerading in the strike as workmen evidently believed the soldiers would not fire on them. But they know better and will, if I am not greatly mistaken, be more careful in the future." AT KANSAS CITY. The Situation Looks Better for All the Roads The Worst Over. Kansas Citv, Mo., July 9. There was a decidedly easier feeling among local railroad men yesterday and a conviction that the worst of the strike, so far as it affected travel and traffic here, had been passed. The union depot and the freight yards were unusually quiet during the entire day and no external evidences of a strike were apparent. Switching crews were at work in all parts of the yards, and the usual Sunday travel was not interrupted, the condition being exactly as for the past few days. IN CALIFORNIA. Trains Ennnlns ou Hotb. the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe f'oads- San Francisco, July 9. Local trains were run yesterday over both South ern Pacific and Santa Fe lines, the latter starting an overland with Pull man attached. A treiin also arrived at Los Angeles from Albuquerque with a Pullman. Reports from Oak land and Sacramento are to the effect that everything is quiet. There is no word of federal troops having been ordered yet to either of these points. MASSING THE TROOPS. Chicago Will Soon Be a Vast Military Camp. Lake Front, Chicago, July 9. Gen eral Miles and staff have beon at their headquarters the entire day, and, from the preparations being made, the city will soon be a vast military camp. r.y to-night cavalry, artillery and infantry will arrive from various sections of the country.

Onfl Rioter Killed and Many Wounded at Hammcnd. U. S. Infantry Fires Two Vol leys Into the Mob. BURNED A PULL3IAN. A Mob of Five Thousand Rushed on the Soldiers. Chicago, July 9. The rioting at Hammond, Ind., culminated yester day afternoon in a conflict between the mob and Company B, Fifteenth United States insantry. Killed. Charuks FLEiacHiit. a laborer. Wounded. Victor Vacter. fatally. Willium Campbell, shot through both legs. Mrs. Fleming, shot in knee. Victor Bitte, shot in leg. Unknown man, shot through the waist. A number of other people were slightly injured, but were carried away by their friends and secreted and it will be impossible to learn the exact number of wounded. The trouble began Saturday night. The rioters kept their work up all night, burning cars and disabiing en gines. Yesterday morning they burned a Pullman car. Most of this work was done inside the Illinois 6tate line, and as soon as the Illinois militia arrived ou the scene the mob retired into Indiana and jeered at the troops. About 9 o'clock a- great crowd gathered again about the Monon depot. Several freight cars were over turned and the Michigan Central tracks blocked. The sheriff and depu ties were powerless to restrain the mob, and as there was no hope of the Indiana militia arriving before late an appeal was made to the federal -authorities in Chicago, and Company B of the Fifteenth infantry was sent out at once. The troops were stationed about the Monon depot, as that seemed to be the center of the rioter's attack, and their presence quieted things for a while, and the blockade on the tracks was finally raised at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and several passen ger trains pulled through. This seemed to anger the mob, and, with an increase in numbers, its pas sions grew to a frenzy. The regulars were greeted with oaths and shouts of derision, and volleys of sticks and stones were showered upon them. The men stood their grounds, how ever, and kept the mob for sev eral hours from approaching the buildings. By 3 o'clock fully 5,000 rioters were assembled. They had been aroused by their leaders to a frenzy that made an encounter with the soldiers certain. Several times they rushed upon the company of troops, Out were met by fixed bayo nets and driven back. At last, how ever, the entire body of strikers made a determined rush towards the depot. "Make ready, tire!" was the com mand, and the thirty-five Springtields rang out in response. A second vol ley quickly followed the surging crowd. The first volley staggered them and the second stopped them as effectually as if they had run aga'mst a stone wall. Several men were seen to fall, but they were taken away by their comrades and the extent of their injuries could not be learned. The news of the killing spread with remarkable rapidity, and ten minutes afterward the streets in the vicinity were tilled with a threatening mob. The excitement by this time was in tense. Men ran from house to house borrowing shotguns, ritles and other firearms. "To arms" was the cry heard on every side, and fully 3,000 people responded. Matters looked so threatening that a call was sent to Chicago for reinforcements, and two more companies were sent out on a special train. These additional troops were stationed at the scene of the trouble and effectually cowed .the strikers for the time being. Major Hartz arrested four of the leaders of the mob and took them to Chicago with a small detail of troops. While the train was pulling out of the city a crowd gathered and stoned it, but quickly dispersed on the approach of a company of infantry. At a late hour last night all was quiet, though several groups of riot ers made threatening demonstrations at different points about the city during the evening. The officer commanding the United States forces male public the follow ing telegram received by him from General Miles: Commanain Officer United States Troops j (ieneral chofieid wires that Governor Mat thews of Indiana has asked the president tbat three companies of United Staie3 troops b sent to HammoDd to disperse tbe mob of riutera. This makes your duty and that of tbp troop- plain You are to hre upon any mob or men obtructin the line of road and hold the pine until further orders Uy command of Major General Miles. QCIE r SUNDAY IN CHICAGO. Several Small Crowds Were Formed, But They Were Ouickly Dispersed. Chicago, July 9. Comparative quiet prevailed as a rute within the city Sunday, though there were, as might have been expected, a number of sporadic instances where little knots of malcontents gathered, became boisterous, and were finally scattered bv a charge from the police. A num ber of small mobs formed, went rioV ing, firing and overturning cars; heads were cracked and small-fry brawls, mostly the result of too much bad whisky, were frequently reported at police headquarters. There was, how ever, no concerted effort at incendiar ism or violence, although at a num ber of places individual cars were fired, several of which were de stroyed. A coal train on the Eastern Illinois was ditched at Root street by a switch being misplaced, after the engine and four cars had passed over. The work of clearing the tracks in the Grand Trunk yards at Forty-ninth and Ashland, where debris from the hundreds of burned cars littered the tracks, was completed under police and military protection, the monot ony, however, being enlivened by oc sasional police rallies when the gath erings of idlers watching the work became too large and threatening. At 5 p. to., when the finishing touches had been put on the work, nearly all the onlookers bad disappeared, and the troops, laborers and police were withdrawn. No sooner had they got well out of sight, however, than a rang of 800 men suddenly appeared, and with crowbars and shovels tore up about an eighth of a mile of the track before word could be got to the police de partment. They fled before another charge of the police, and the work of repair is again being pushed forward. Several other occurrences of like character occurred at other yard a. COST OF THH STRIKE. Thus Far the Pennsylvania Company Has Had 667 Cars Burned In Chicago. Chicago, July 9. Some idea of what the strike has meant to Chicago rail roads can be obtained when the or ganization of the Pennsylvania line is noted. The company immediately after the declaring of the Pullman boycott, es tablished headquarters in the city under the charge of a strike manager, and proceeded with an organization warlike and complete. A commis sariat of seven barracks was estab lished, and for a week the department has been feeding and lodging 1,500 people. A force of 250 deputy mar shals was organized witn officers, pa trol wagons and signal stations, and a corps of engineers was put to work upon the details of the damage done by the rioters. But despite this force of men backed by the city, county, state and govern ment troops the company has suffered fearful loss of property. Up to Sat urday night 667 of its freight cars had been burned, besides many signal towers, oil and tool houses and other property. Of the burned cars more 1 than 100 were loaded, about fifty with coal and cinders and the remainder with merchandise. No attempt at an accurate estimate of the damage has yet been made, but it will reach an enormous figure. MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED. Rioters and Illinois National Guard Come Together. Chicago, July 9. The strikers and the state of Illinois came together Saturday afternoon and a pitched bat tle was the result. The number of killed and wounded will never be known, as the mob car ried off a number of men who were seen to fali. How many were killed or how many were wounded It is at this time impossible to ascertain. John Burke and Thomas Jackson, rioters, were killed almost outright. Among the injured was Annie Siegler, who had to have her left leg ampu tated. The fight occurred at the intersec tion of Forty-ninth street 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 terri tory within a radius of half a mile. Four or five people were killed and an unknown number wounded in a fight at the Panhandle road at Twenty-second street Saturday night by deputy marshals. DYNAMITED AN ENGINE. An Explosion Occurs In the Fire Box of a Santa Fe Locomotive. Pcebi.o, Col., July 9. The most das tardly piece of word in Colorado since the beginning of the strike was done yesterday. A freight train of the Santa Fe road left here shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday night shortly after which a terrific explosion was heard. It developed that a piece of of dynamite had been exploded in th-i fire-box of the locomotive that was hauling the departinir train. The lo comotive was lifted from the track and badly damaged. The engineer abd fireman miraculously escaped with no injuries except a severe shak ing up. It is supposed that the dyna mite was placed in the coal by some miscreant, and that the fireman shoveled it into the fire-box duriug the performance of his duties. UNION PACIFIC EMPLOYES. Quite a Number Iissati8ed With JJ the Action Taken at Cheyenne. Denver, Col., July 9. The Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen of thi3 district held a meeting last night. S. D. Clark of Pocatello, Idaho, who represented the trainmen on the fed erated board at Cheyenne was pres ent. The officers refused to give out any information regarding the meet ing, but one of the members said the lodge had refused to indorse the fctand taken with the federated board at Cheyenne and allow them to strike as individuals. Many of their num ber are now out, and these will be given the fullest protection. CHICAGO ANARCHISTS. They Meet and Dlscnss the Present strike Situation. Chicago, July 9. Five hundred An archists gathered at a picnic in a grove near Western avenue and Fifth-ninth street yesterday after noon, and discussed the strike situation in true anarchist style. The speakers were unanimous in a demand for vio lence, and bloodshad was repeatedly named as the only solution of the trouble. The speakers declared that the strike can only be won by the use of torch and gun, and called upon all workingmen to aid in the battle against capital. CAPTURED A TRAIN. Kelly's Wealers Take Possession ef a Chesapeake and Ohio Freight. Cattletsbubo, Ky., July 8. Kelly wealers who captured the east- bound freijj-ht train on the Chesapeake and Ohio at Vanceburg, arrived at Kenova, W. Va., at daylight. Governor Mc Corkle ordered Companies I and O of Huntington to proceed to Kenova and intercept the army. Under directions of Sheriff Lambert the militia ar rested them and are now guarding them near the depot. The governor and four le tral advis ers arrived at Kenova on a special train and tried to induce the army to go back to Kentucky which they re fused to do. A VETERAN'S VERDICT. The War is Over.
