NATIONAL GUARD SUMMONED Rioting Reported at the Springfield Depot. PROGRESS OF THE BOYCOTT CHICAGO, July 2—The second regiment, i. N. G., the Hibern‘an Rifles, has been or- dered to Blue Island. SPRINGFIELD, Il, July 2—A riot is re- ported at the Wabash depot. Troops were reshed to disperse the mob. CHICAGO, July 2.—Two thousand strik- ers at Blue Island today overcame 200 dep- uty sheriffs and marshals. The latter gave up the unequal battle and called for state and federal aid. Telegrams were sent to United States District Attorney Milchrist and Sheriff Gilbert, asking that the fif- teenth regiment United States regulars from Fort Sheridan and the militia be sent to clear the blockade and preserve order. The telegrams were sent after the force &t the yards had been beaten in an attempt to clear the way for the mail trains. About 2.000 strikers gathered around the cars and effectually stopped any attempt to move the trains. Marshal Arnold ard Deputy Leibrandt, in charge of the sheriffs, conferred, and de- cided that they must have ald in order to make any headway. Their conference re- sulted in the transmission of these tele- grams: To United States District Attorney Mil- christ, Chicago: Wire Secretary of War mob of 2,000 men here. We are unable to handle them. Ask him to send the fifteenth Fegiment from Fort Sheridan. Answer. (Signed) MARSHAL ARNOLD. To Sheriff Gilbert, Chicago: Mob of 2,000. We are unable to cope with them. Better ask governor to send aid at onc: (Signed) FRED LEIBRANDT. Arnold and Leibrandt spent the morning irying to move a long line of passenger ears that blocked the Rock Island yards at Biue Island. They filled the dummy tracks and made ft impossible to send mail trains. About noon the train was made up and started out of the yards. Stones were thrown by the strikers, knives were drawn and the deputies on the train showed their revoiters. The strikers so hemmed in the ‘rain and yards that it became impossible jo move the train but a short distance through the yards. Village Police Officer Michael Larson added to the confusion by jumping on the engine and trying to arrest the engineer for violating a town ordinance forbidding trains to block crossings for more than ye minutes. re The deputy marshals threw the policeman from the train. By this time the mob had become so boisterous that the attempt to move the train was abandoned and the offi- cers retired to call for help. They reported no one injured. CHICAGO, July 2—Early this morning the diamond special on the Illinois Central and the Big Four mail trains were run through Grand Crossing in safety, engineers and firemen having been found to take them out. The Baltimore and Ohfo limited, due in the city at 9 o'clock last night, did not reach the Grand Central station until mid- night. The engineer stepped at the crossing at Burnside, but the crowd of strikers seemed peaceable and the engineer, having received the signals, proceeded to pull cut The train guards, however, had noticed that a striker lay in the ditch along- de the train as it stopped, and did not see the man as he slipped a coupling pin Rext to the cylinder head in the cuideways of the piston rod. When the engineer pull- throttle the cross-head causnt on the pin and the cylinder head was cracked, disabling the engine. By using one cyt der the engineer was enabled to reach the city three hours late. Counting the Cost of It. “How many dollars a day is this fight costing the American Railway Union?’ some of the weak-kneed of the strikers are beginning to wonder. . The officials declare that they do not know, and probably they do not. The daily expense already fs enormous, evea leaving out the amount the strikers are losing every week by lack of wages. The Union's in- ne is between $140,000 and $145,000 a ‘s than $400 a day at <he outside. i more than that is being spent every twenty-four hours on the single item of Add officers’ and directors’ ; rents for two sets hire of clerks and railway fare ‘for the travel- of halis and payment of the horde of speakers which the Union has out—well, $145,000 a year will bardly cover it all.

Only one elevator was running dur- ing most of the day, the coal beiny reserved for the large dynamos and electric light plant during the busy hours of the night. The stock yards were in a badly demoral- ized condition today, and the only packer who was buying at all was Armour. The Stock Yards Switching Association has but one engine running, and of the 405 cars of stock held by the Burlington road but 260 were delivered.

Preparations at Blue Island. United States Marshal Arnold sent 100 and Sheriff Gilbert thirty-five deputies to Blue Island today in anticipation of trou- ble. The work of swearing in and arming deputies, both by the United States mar- shal and sheriff, was cerried forward today as rapidly as possible. Police on the Alert. The police today were more on the alert than at any time since the strike began. At each of the larger police stations six companies, composed of 150 men, kept as a reserve. Patrol wagons were on hand to carry these officers to any place an outbreak may occur. In addition, hun- dreds of policemen were stationed at dif- ferent points along the different railroads, in the yards and along the tracks. In- spector Schaack said a riot might be pre- cipitated at any moment. Once started, it would be difficult to even guess what the result would be. Trying to Lift the Blockade. Rock Island railway officials and a squad of deputy narshals and sheriffs at the yards in Blue Island today began trying to ft the blockade, in effect since Saturday Boon. United States Marshal Arnold was in charge of eighty-one deputies, and Deputy Sheriff Frobn and a squad of men were Prepared to aid the federal authorities in clearing away for mail trains and preserv- ing order. General Superintendent Dun- lap, Assistant Nichols and ‘Roadmaster Conlin were in charge of the forces for the The first move was toward clearing the Dunning tracks that had been filled with passenger trains. Officers of the road went into conference with Mayor Seach- arias of Blue Island, considering details of raising the blockade. Around the tracks and cars a large c-owd of strikers gathered, but no violence was offered. Operations against the strikers began with @ conference between United States Judges Wood and Grosscup, Edwin Walker, special solicitor, appointed yesterday by Attorney General Olney, and District Attorney Mti- christ. The lawyers had a bulky type-writ- ten bill, asking the federal courts to enjoin the strikers from interfering with the mails. The bill was a document covering all the Toads. It was submitted to the judges in- formally before it was filed, and discussion of its form occupied the court and law: for some time. aie To Epjoin the Strikers. Later, Messrs. Walker and Milchrist, act- ing under instructions from Attorney Gen- eral Oiney, tiled the bill in the federal court to enjoin the strikers from interfering with the trains. The bill was originally drawn to enjoin the strikers from interfering with the mails, but was modified under orders from Washington so as to enjoin from interfer- ence with any train, this protection being Scught or the ground of the interstate com- merce act. It was believed at the govern- ment building that the injunction tssued under the bill will stop the strike, for the whole power of the government can be called upon to enforce it. Judge Woods said the marshal will be expected to en- force the order. and if he is unable to do oe troops of the United States can be call- “It is not necessa: said he, “to issue to prevent interference with > for such interference is in itself @ crime, for which the guilty parties can be arrested and Indicted. It is more necessary to issue a restraining order to prevent in- terference with interstate commerce. The only reason for issuing an order at ail is that it is a means of making the present emergency, for the process of arrest and in- dictment is law.” As to the territory covered by the order, the judge said it applies to the state of Illinois, the seat of the trouble, and can be entered in the courts of Indiana and Wis. censin, and thus be made to apply in those states. The men arrested for any violation of the injunction will be brought before the court for contempt and can be punished summarily.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Juiy —United States Marshal Hawkins arrived last even- ing, with the nine strikers whom he ar- tested Saturday night in Hammond. They seemed to consider their arresis as a joke until District Attorney Burke talked with them, The men ere all heads of families, and many of them are natives of Indiana, while one or two have lived in the state but a short time. District Attorney Burke told them they were not to interfere with mafl trains or they were subject to be called into court each day, and ff they did not conduct them- selves in an orderly manner it would be se- rious for them. “The government will run mail trains,” Mr. Burke said, f it takes all the troops and every citizen in the United States to do It.” The personal bond: Charles Merriweath 2 of Charles August 1 © charged couraging thi Db.

C., MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. } NTS. ‘REGULARS READY To Be Used at Once if Their Services Are Required. GENERAL SCHOFIELD'S PREPARATIONS Three Conditions Under Which the President May Issue Orders. ‘THE MAILS MUST GO Since the receipt of the telegrams last evening upon which orders were {ssued for troops to proceed at once to Trinidad and Rattoon, Colorado, the War Department has had no further applications for assist- ance of the regular army forces to assist United States marshals to protect the mails and the railroads operated under United States receivers from interference by strik- ers, There was no unusual manifestation of activity at army headquarters this morn- }ing, but this fact is accounted for by the thorough state of preparation of the troops to meet any emergency. Ever ‘since the “industrial armies” began their campaigns the regulars have been mobilized and put in a state of readiness for immediate response to any lawful cail, so it happens very for- tunately that Ittle remains now to be done in the way of preparation. Gen. Schoticld’s Policy. Some years ago Gen.Schofield,commanding the army,who has given much thought to the Sreat social problems of the day, so far as they promise to affect the army, settled upon a definite policy of closing out the rumerous small army posts scattered through the west, where they were no longer needed, owing to the cessation of Irdian hostilities, and concentrating the troops in posts on transportation lines ad- jacent to the great cities, the hotbeds of anarchy and riot. Here they could be more economically maintained; greater proficiency in discipiine and drill, and whiie their presence exercised a whole- Some repressive effect on the lawless ele- ment in the great cities, they could also be rapidly dispatched to other points of danger, owing to superior ratiroad faciliues. In chis way sprang up Fort Sheridan, near Chi- cago, and Fort Myer, adjacent to Wash- ington, and other powerful posts, and so the general government has strong forces of troops now available where they may be most needed. At the War Department Chicago 1s looked upon as the principal danger point at present, but the officials are confident that they have a sufficient force there to meet present demands, the garrison at Fort Sheridan including a full regiment of infantry, two batteries of ar- tillery and two troops of cavalry, all well drilled and seasoned troops. Troe Readiness for Action. Conformable to general instructions issued heretofore, the army officers commanding the great military departments are holding their troops in readiness for instant action, and in case the trouble at Chicago should assume unexpected proportions it will be possible to reinforce the garrisons there within a single day by many fegiments from the northwestern posts. ... All this has been prepared in ad- vance, yet the War been particularly solicttous. ta. es in the most convene iene eee oe avoid any just that».

Schotield. The present commander of the army has probably had More experience in the construction of the Posse commitatus laws than any person in the public service, owing to his administra- tion of the military forces in the south in reconstruction days, and he is disposed to use force only where absolutely essential and when justified by law beyond any question. When the President Cau Order Troops in the case of the present gigantic strike there are three conditions under which the troops can be used by direct orders from the President, irrespective of the appiica- ticns of the governors of states. The first is to carry out the mandates of the federal courts and assist the deputies in clearing away obstructions to the operations of railroads in the hands of United States receivers. In the second case the troop8 can be used to prevent inter- ference with the transmission of mails. ‘rhe government is fully determined to do this, first giving the court officers an op- portunity to keep open communication and then, if necessary, supporting them with trcops. The third case is riot that may jeopardize United States property, and in this casé the commanding officer of the army at the place of disturbance may act in any emergency, even without waiting tor orders from the President, reporting the facts, however, at the earliest moment and awaiting Instructions. This last condi- tion might arise at any point where there is government property, as was illustrated by the assembiing of troops at Denver a few months ago when Gov. Waite and the local officials were arrayed against each other. The Mails Must Go. About 11 o'clock today news came to Washington that tn addition to the troubles at ‘Irinidad and Rattoon, Col., the United States ‘malls had been stopped at Los Angeles, Cal., on the Southern Pacific rail- road, Attorney General Olney called upon the President and afterward at the War Department, where he conferred with Sec- retary Lamont and Gen. Schofield, and | steps Were taken to relieve the situation there, in line with the policy definitely de- | termined upon of having the mails go for- ward at ail hazards. sg GRADUAL READJUSTMENT Believed to Be the Contemplated terior Department Plan, In reference to the reorganization of the clerical force of the Department of the Intertor, it is learned that it is quite prob- able that the changes will not be made with one fell swoop, but that a readjust- ment of the positions occupied by the clerks will be brought around gradually. it is thought on all sides that the scheme of reorganization is a just one, and only the incompetent clerks appear to fear the consequences. The object of the reorgant- zation is that éach clerk shal! fill the posi- tion to which his record shows him to be entitied. It is also aimed at pets, and power which heretofore he may have had to show favoritism or malice. Three con- ferences were held some time ago between the department authorities, and it was agreed that each clerk should make a weekly report to his chief of the work done by him, This is to be investigated by and maybe indorsed by the chief and cer- tifled to the chief clerk of the department. Promotions, reductions and dismissals will be made on the basis of these reports.

He is iin poor health, but fully expects to return to his post. THE TARIFF Bae Managers of the Measure Showing Signs of Great Nervousness. What Lenders of the House Say—The Sugar Fight May Kill the BILL, While the democratic managers are cal- culating on a final vote on the tariff bill Tuesday it is not apparent how they can get through by that time. In the Senate this morning notices were given by Senators all over the chamber of their intention to have a separate vote on this amendment and on that, until it amounted in the ag- gregate to a separate vote on nearly every Jamendment of any {mportance. This is | piling up a great deal of voting to be done jin so short a time, and it is understood that there are still a few new amend- ments to come in. .

Senator Dubois, who has just returned from the meeting of the league of republi- ean clubs at Denver, brings encouraging reports for the republicans as to the d of the populist party. He said today that while the silver resolution adopted at the meeting was not all the silver men wanted, it was sufficient to hoid the western states into the republican lines. has no right to make party platforms, every meeting, and it was regarded as the herald in advance of the next national convention, and the only source of authoratative, or semi-authoratative expression for the party before the " national convention. The | Western republicans accepted the ellver reso- j lution, he said, xlmost as in the nature of a Promise that the next republican national platform would declare in favor of the full restoration of silver. With this under- Standing of the situation and expectation for the future, the weste:n states would stand by the old party. All indications are, he said, that the popu- lists party has gained no strength, but rather, on the contrary, have lost through @ general disgust at their bad government in those sections where they have had con- trol, and by their general tendency toward anarchy. The genuine silver men regard the populist course as injurious to the sil- ver cause, and their dissatisfaction, on ac- count of the treatment of silver during this Congress, has not driven them to join the populisis. Notwithstanding the wide Sp discontent. as likely to i; the populist movement, reports from the populist “‘strong-holds” showed a weaken- ing in their lines in all quarters and an al- most universal disgust with them. ———_+e+ RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Big Appropriations Wanted by the Pacttic Const Senators, The Senate committee on commerce has been considering for several days the river and harbor bill and hope to have it ready to report at an early day and press it for- | ward as soon as there is a let-up in the con- sideration of other appropriation bills. The committee has two very large propositions, | to consider, which are giving it considerable dificulty. They are those advanced by Sen- {ators Dolph and Mitchell for the improve- | ment of the dalles of the Columbia river jand the cutting of a canal to connect the waters of lakes Union and Washington with Puget sound, which is being pushed by Sen- ator Squire. Both of these projects were provided for in the bill as It passed the Sen- ate two years ago, but the House refused to agree to the appropriations made by the Senate and they were lost in conference. The Oregon Senators desire a boat railway or @ canal at the dalles, which, with the completion of the great locks at the cas- cades, will open up the whole Columbia river to navigation. The cost will be some- where near $4,000,000. The cost of the pro- ject advocated by Senator Squire will be about $3,000,000, It is the large expense of these projects which causes the committee to give them more consideration at this time than before, as the condition of the treasury 1s not such as to encourage large appro- priations. The Senators from the Pacific northwest are sure of success in these two large propositions, ——.--+e-+—___- WORK IN THE NAVY YARDS. It is Stopped by an Order Issued by Secretary Herbert.

The question recurred upon the motion of Mr. Bryan of Nebraska to reduce the cost of a site from $300,000 to $175,007. The point of no quorum being raised, a vote by tellers was ordered.

The machine guns which have entered into competition for adoption in the naval service are being mounted and otherwise prepared at the Wébhington navy yard to- day for the practical firing tests, which begin on the 6th instant. Six guns will be tried—the Maxim, the Gardner (English make), the Gatling, the Eccles, the Scoda and the Gardner (American make). Most of these have arrived and are already in place. Capt. Sampson, chief of the bureau of naval ordnance, has appointed Com- | marder Sperry, Prof. Alger and Ensign Diefenbach a board to conduct the tests. | The tests at the navy yard will include | firing for rapidity and accuracy, and at their conclusion the guns will be taken to the Indian Head pro grounds to deter- mine their qualifications in range firing, endurance and under adverse conditions, Bank Note and Bond Stateme A treasury statement issued today shows the total amount of national bank notes outstanding on June 30 to have been $207,- 259,307, an Increase for the fiscal year of $25,644,772.

Senator Call of Florida introduced today the following resolution: Resolved, That @ committee of five Senators shall be ap- pointed by the President of the Senate, who shall inquire dnd report to the Senate the causes of the existing strike of railroad employes and the justice of the demands of the workingmen, and report by bill or otherwise - such able and fair to their employers, cure the transportation of the mails, and passengers without interruption, that such committee be authorized to with a committee Fd the es | for this purpose, and may report to | spective houses the result of their | action. The great strike is likely to be to the attention of the House sentatives. Several resolutions bearing on the situation are wi sideration, and these may take the f | a joint resoluticn for a special | of investigation. Telegrams are on Congressmen from local urging them to support Sena’ resolution, or to take other action support- ing the labor view of the contest, Like the Kyle Resolation. Representative Boen of Minnesota ts pre paring @ bill which is on 2 aS Kyle resolution, but extendselt so @i- to make a general law defining mail traits and their use. It provides that all ratirosd lines are made public postal routes, subjest, to government regulations. When traffle is interrupted on any public postal route, the mail trains shall consist of one one caboose and one or two mall cars. senger coaches and Pullman cars shall not be attached to such mail trains pending the interruption of traffic. Mall cars ape permitted to be attached to express traims when traffic is uninterrupted. It is also | provided that while mail trains are restrict- ed to engine, caboose and mail cars, they shall be run on schedule time at a —— | sation to be fixed by the Postmaster eral. Representative McGann of Chicago, whe as chairman of the labor committee, is Te- garded by laboring men as one of thelr chief spokesmen in Congress, had a talk 40- }day with Assistant | Jones and other officials of the Post Office | Department. From them he learned that j the precedent established by Attorney Gen- eral Olney in the Northern Pacific strike will be adhered to in the present troubles. Position of the Pust Office Department No legal obstacles will be made against men stopping work who are engaged on the mail trains, if they desire, because the offi- ciais consider such action a personal mat- ter. ‘The post office officials said that they intend to maintain a neutral position so far as the parties to the Mrike are concerned, and to take no action in support elther of the corporations or the jabor organizations, Any action which Attorney General may take regarding obstruction to the will be taken at the instance of General Bissell. Apart from that the At- torney General may be called upon to sup- port the decrees of United States courta, which govern railroads by virtue of receive erships decreed by them. It was learned by Mr. complaints had been postal officials being used as { ball i Hy i mans, and so far as he has been able to learn no such scheme is re- sorted to by the railroads. Conseqi he thinks that Senator Kyle's resolution is Gn- called for at this time, being directed st @ state of affairs which does not exist. To assume that the authority of an executive officer will be timproperly exerted, he saya, seems to be an unwarrantable affront to the department. Mr. Crain’s Resolation. Representative Crain of Texas will in- troduce a resolution for an investigation of the Pullman strike. Mr. Crain was a mem- ber of the Curtin congressional committee in 1885, with Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania at its head, which investigated the great strike of that year, and succesded in fram- ing @ settlement acceptable to both sides. . The resolution is as follows: “Whereas a disturbed condition in the relation between labor and the Palace Car Compeny and certain corporations carrying on interstate com- merce is reported to exist in several of the States, menacing and obstructing inter- State transportation of freight and pas- sengers and the United States mails, in- volving to a greater or less extent the commerce and business of the country and the general welfare of the people, hence becoming a matter of national con- cern; therefore be it ; te nek tae the committee on inter- state an reign commerce be hereby authorized and directed to tnvestigute the cause and extent of the disturbed condi- tions existing In such states or in any uh states. Said committee shall hy Power to visit the places where such condi- tions exist, send for persons and papers, examine witnesses under oath, and may employ @ stenographer, and shall report the result of its investigations to the House, with such recommendations as it may deem proper to make. Mr. Crain said of the resolution: “Tech- nically it might be said that Congress had no power to arbitrate. But in these great conflicts, which cross state lines and involve the whole country, Congress is the only possible power which can Moreover, the moral effect of a congressional investi- | gation is sufficient to ch the confiict and possibly stop it ws a natural willingness of both y represent strik; ids The lof Labor | wich th | which I orkman the rail
