Grand Crowing, on the outskirts

Central trucks since 8 o'clock
this morning. Darin the day
two men were shot by a railroad
detective, who was with difficulty
protected from the infuriate! mob,
upwards of 200 curs, tome of them,
Pullman sleoper, w-r-t burned. Those
depredations continued lata into the
i.iuut, The force of deputies aud the
one comptuy of regulars were totally
inadi quate to afford protection to the
iroraeuBe amount of railroad property
to which the incediaries held frue ac
cess. At 6 o'clock toniibt Captain Da Ja
jnur, of the Uuited Still troops, who
had been lent to Konnagton at noon
with Company F of the Tbirtee th
infantry mid a small body of deputy
United States marshals, telegraphed
tue headquarters of the department of
the Missouri in ibis eity, notifying the
officers in charge there that he could
not maintain order after nightfall with
the force at his commaud. Mean
while the First regiment, Illinois
National guards, in command of
Colonel Turner, which bd been or
dered to the scene, coveted the distance
by 8 p.m. and detachments whm sent
to Kensington, Burnside, Fordbam and
Grand Crossing. The First battalion
with gatling 4i an detachment reached
Burnside at 8.30 . Tbe mob, however,
had changed their base of operations,
ready to re-appear as some point where
tbey are not expected and where they
nre not in danger from bayonets or the
gatliug gULS.
TOWS OF PULLMAN PKOTKCTHD.
The Third battalion under command
of Minor Talman, numbering about
200 men. arrived at Palluian shortly
before 'J o cloek. Great anxiety has
been felt for the safety of this erst
while "Modl" village, all tlio hotels,
tores, residences, light and power
manufacturing plants In which are
owned by the Pullman company.
That tbe crowds of anarchistic strike
Sympathizers who have applied tbe
torch rigbt and left for the past
few days should confine their
operations to the switch towers and
box cars of the railroads, neglecting
the rich establishments of the men they
seem to regard as their aroh enemy,
has puzzled the peace officers of the
city and the United States, and it is
probably a wise precaution to thus pro
tect the town of Pullman before any
actual attack has occurred, especially
in view of tbe growing excitement
among the law breakers who have thus
farbifiltd Unole Sam's regulars, tbe
sity police and tbe state militia.
That this move was taken none too
soon was demonstrated early this eve
niug by the appearance on tbe north
ern end of tbe city of a crowd of peo
ple, comoosed largely of those who
have caused the trouble in neighbor
ing yards and surburban towns. Tbe
town was on the alert, especially
tbe cilice force and the foundry men,
who are about tbe only employes
of tbe Pnlltnan company at work at
that place. At the first sign of trouble
the foundry men quit and Aid. Tbe
office force pnt their books in tbe safe
nud made their escape in a burry. The
marauders had been Warned of tbe ap
proach of tbe militia, however, and
they confined their operations to the
employes of tbe West Pull
man street railway employes.
Conductors and grlpmen were driven
from their plaaes and the com
plete tie np of the system was ef
fected. Tbe strikers from Pullman
proper took no part in tbe work of the
mot). The Hotel Florence, tbe princi
pal hostelry of the place, was aban
doned tonight by its employes, who gen
erally sleep in the building. A number
of toxn of gnns and ammunition were
received here this afternoon in expec
tation of an attack, but owing to tbe
presence of the Third battalion of the
First regiment this is not likely to oc
cur tonight. The battalion will go
into camp on the open square in f rout
of the Hotel Flurence.
TROOPS QflDEKED TO THE SrOT.
The Fifteenth regiment was ordered
to the scene as soon as tbe news reached
headquarters. Company C was sent to
Fifty-first street, as there is a large
number of fnllman cars at that point.
Other companies were placed at Fifty
eighth. GarfleU boulevard and Forty
- (wreath streets. It is thought that
this movement will effectually check
any attempt of the strikers to return
and finish their destructive work.
IK PILLAGE AND BURN.
Two Hundred and Twenty five Freight
Car R.duoad to Aahee.
Chicago, July 6 Two hundred and
twonty-tlve freight ears on tbe Pan
l'andle tracks between ftorty-Ufth and
Fifty-ninth streets, Chicago, a distance
of one mile, were totally destroyed by
tire between the hours of 0 and 8
o'clock tonight. Buuohes of waste
were stolen from swilohtnen'g shan
ties by a mob numbering 4,000
men, and soaked with oil and
made excellent torches. At Forty-seventh
street live ears standing on the
Grand Trunk lines were the first to
meet destruction. Some of them were
loaded. This did not deter the frenzied
crowd from their work and the seals
were broken and the doors slid back.
A bnnch of burning waste was thrown
inside, quickly igniting tbe contents,
and in less than three minutes the live
cars were Dazing fiercely. Without
waiting to see that their work was
complete the crowd surged on. They
kepi to the Pan Handle tracks and at
Forty ninth street came upon six more
cars. These were fired in a twinkling
and ou weut the crowd.
In the Uarfuld boulevard yards of
the Pan Handle four tracks were full
of freight cars, more than balf of
which were loaded. At this crossiug is
located a switchman's tower and this
was first fired. Then the mob turned
its attention to the cars on tbe sidings,
but for some reason fired but one of
them a car of dressed beet which
had been started eastward several days
ago. Tbey suddenly stopped their in
cendiarism and turned their attention
to tearing up switches. After a num
ber bad been rendered useless the mob
continued on its way southward.
CARS BURN LIKE TINDER.
At Fifty-eighth street is situated the
station house of the combined roads.
This was fired and quickly destroyed.
A strong wind was blowing aud the
flames wore quickly spread across three
or four tracks which were filled with
cars. The railroad people say there
were fifty cars there, forty of whioh
were loaded. All were soon a mass of
flames. About thirty of the cars were
tilled with coal, and the heat was in
tense.
Upon the approach of the fire aud
police departments tbe mob turned
about and started for the city. On their
way to Forty-seventh street they set
fire to all cars that they ha 1 missed in
their hurried tip southward. JSo wa
ter could be obtained and the cars' were
slowly burned np, It was noticed that
the leaders of the mob were mostly for
eigners. There are 339 cars in the dis
trict now in possession of the mob and
it is probable that all will be destroyed
by midnight.
REMINDER OF WAR TIMES, -
Ten Thousand Armed lien Are Guard
lug Property In Chieiffo.
Chicago. July G, The scenes In the
city are to old residents a vivid re
minder of war times. Tbe regulars
number 1,200 men and the .National
Guard 5,000 men. Iu addition to this
the entire poliee force, including the
reserves,- substitutes and new men, a
total of 3 300 is available for special
emergency call. This makes a total of
tu.uuu ariuea men mat at less tnan an
hour's notice can be pfaced iu the field
against tbe mob.
The town of Pullman is zunrded by
a company ot tbe state militia in an
ticipation of an attack by the mob.
Tbe sky is lighted up with the glare of
tbe Utuits from the 200 or more freight
cars that are burning in the Rolliaon
yards, on the Grand Trunk road.
A hundred police have gone to
the scene with orders to shoot
on flight if they are attacked.
Tht loss to the Grand Trunk will be
enormous. A mob began work on the
Burlington1 shortly before tutdnight,
burning many curs in tbe yarus at
Hawthorne. It is thought that 500
freight cars have been destroyed on the
different roads aunng the day and np
tomiumgnr.

While no clash is expected to occur at
Chicago between the state and federal

P VERY tffort of tbe administration
U in conjunction with Major Gsn
P eral Scbjfield is being directed
3 to arranging for the speedy con
centration of troops at Chicago. The
federal government is in the conflict to
stay and will exhaust evjiy means in
its powor to bring about a compliance
with the several Injunctions Issued by
the United States courts. A cabinet of
ficer Is authority for this state
ment. It Is further stated that tho
purpose ot the government is not
to attempt to control the mobs engaged
in rioting in Chicago and elsewhere
unless the state authorities fail iu this
duty. The government troops and the
posses ot United btates deputy mar
shals will devote their energies to pro
tecting government property, to pre
venting interference with lnter-stute
commerce and to secure the free trans
mission of the rauils.
The cabinet meeting todav resulted in
a general understanding to carry out the
policy indicated. Oue important mutter
developed at the meeting was that the
militia organizations could bo called on
to suppress disorler in another state
where tbe local authorities bad tailed
to enforce obedienee to law. Attorney
General Olney said this afternoon that
there was ample constitutional author
ity for such action and it is not un
likely that preparations for drawing
on state militia for this purpose will
be made, although there is no immedi
ate necessity for carrying the policy
into effect.
NEED MORE REGULAR TROOPS.
The proper distribution ot govern
ment troops la causing' Sria3s concern
st the was department. A high offlciiil
said today mat o.uuu regulars were
needed to suppress tbe disorders in the
west All the companies of infantry.
batteries of artillery and troops of
cavalry at western army posts are
ueeded where tuey are now stationed
and are practically resting on their
arms. Tbe army authorities are ap
prehensive that it tbey are sent to.
various points where rioting is going on
trouble will follow at the places from
which the troopi ure withdrawn.
This la particularly true of an Fran
cisco. Tbe failure of the California
state militia to preserve order at Suora
mento has caused tbe government to
consider tbe advisability of sending
regulars there, and the federal officials
are confident that the f irth Artillery
regiment, now stationed at the Presi
dio of San Francisco, could restore
order at Sacramento without great difll
aulty. But just there tbe diffl
i-olty comes in. It is not con
sidered good policy to withdraw the
regiment from the Presidio at
till time, for the absence of the
troops might prove the opportunity
for riotous movements there. Suit is
all over the west and Major General
Schofiold isholdiug his forces in reserve
while he watches every indication of
disorder that may call for action on the
part of his soldiers. The war depart
merit has thirty-three companies of in
fantry, forty-four batteries ot artil
lery and eight troops of cavalry in the
east. Most of these could be drawn on
for service in Chicago or olsewh"re, .
OLNEY SCORES ALTGELD.
Attorney Geuerul Olney was today
questioned as to bis views of the Alt
geld letter to tne president, tie said:
Tbe paramount duly of the presi
dent ot the United States is to seo that
the laws of the Uuited States aro faith
fully executed, and in the discharge
of that doty be is not hnmpered or
crippled by tbe necessity or eonsult
ing any chief of police, mayor or
even governor. In tne present mstance
nothing has been doue and nothing or
dered whioh the uioit captious critio
can condemn an any invasion ot the
state rights. The action of the na
lional executive has been simply and
exclusively directed to the enforce
ment of tbe United States laws, tbe ex
eoutlon of the the orders and processes
of United States courts and the
prevention ot any obstructions of
United States mail. Tbe notion
that the territory of any state
is too sacred to permit the exercise
thereon by the Uuited States govern
men t of any ot tts legitimate functions
never had any legal existence, and, as
a rule of conduct, became pr&otioally
extinct with the close ot the oivil war.
It can be said with eertainty that the
fact that the riotous strikers In Chica
go continue to obstruct tne trumo ot
the railroads and resist th execution
of tbe laws has uot iu tbe least deterred
the government from its declared pur
pose to euforce the laws at all hazard
ana at whatever cost.

PLANS FOR ARBITRATION.
Features of Two Measures Whoso
Purpose Is to Abolish Strikes and
Substitute Peaceful Methods.
Washington, July 6 Two plans
for arbitrating strikes have been form
ulated into bills by Kepresentatlves
Kiefer and Tawney, ot Minnesota, and
have been referred by the house com
mittee on labor to a sub-commitleu of
five, of which Representative Erd
uiann, of Pennsylvania, is chairman.
Representative Rioter's plan contem
plates a permanent board for the set
tlement of all disagreements betweeu
employes and employers, and to pre
vent hostilities penaiug tue settlement
of questions. It proposes a board of
four members, three of tbra appointed
by the president, th Uuited btates
commissioner of labor being the
fourth, while the governor of the state
n which the trouble occurred would
make a fifth member.
Whenever both parties ngree to arbi
tration, the goveruor would be empow
ered to call a meeting ot the board,
upon their application, but It would be
his duty to start the machinery of ar
bitration on tho application of one
party, If it seemed to him that tne pub-
intorests demanded it. The findings of
the board would have the effect of do-
erees of a court. . If any employer, who
did not apply for - arbitration, reuses
to accept tbe decision, he Would be en
joined from employing other employes
uutu be ceuld show satisfac
tory cause to tbe board why he is uot
satisfied with the decree. Labor unions
are recognized by the bill as having
tbe right to become a party to an arm
tration proceeding.
representative Tawney s bill is more
limited in its scope, providing lor set
tlement ot the controversies between
railroad corporations doing an inter
state oiumerte business, or carrying
mails or property of the Uuited States,
or doing busiuess lu the territories or
District of Columbia. Arbitration
would be secured by petition to a cir
cuit court of the United States by on
or both parties to tbe trouble, or on
the application of ten reputable citi
z;ns. The court would be empowered
to compel the parties to appsar, and to
make decrees governing wages, How
ever, if either orect to ltitrnstlug the
deoision of their differences to a court,
a board of five arbitrators, oue to be
selected by each party And threo by the
court, may be constituted, and their
findings would be carried out by decree
of the court.
