Chicago, July 9.
THERE were no indications witbin
the immediate limits of the city
today that the railroad strike or
boycott was in existence. On the ma
jority of roads having their terminals
in this city, through passenger as well
i.a suburban trains were moving on
time.
The freight car bloekades on the
Northwestern, Burlington, Luke Shore
tuid Bock Island and Pan Hun lie roads
wore also materially raised. The mem
bers of ths Railroad Managers' associa
tion are claiming tonight that, so far
us the local situation is oncurned the
back bone of lbs strike has been broken
end that suceess in the immediate fu
ture is insured.
At the heudqnarters of the leaders of
of the strikers it is admitted at a late
hour that from the railroad point of
view the situation has materially im
proved, but it is also contended anion?
the strikers that, notwithstanding the
conditions that may be brought to bear
in and about the local depots, it will be
impossible for trains to rnn with any de
gree of regularity, either south, west
or north nntil a settlement with the
striking employes baa been effected.
Tb United States grand jury that
baa been specially empaneled to con
sider indictments agaiusl the leaders
of the striking element will assemble
at 10 u'click tomorrow morning.
The men arrested by United States
d puty marshals at Blue bland and on
the Lako Shore and Rock Island
trucks at Forty-third street will be in
dieted for conspiracy to delay and en
danger the passage of mails of the
United States.
The United States regulars enjoyed
day of rest upon ths lake front while
the majority of the state militia took
thing easy in Battery D ar.d in a com
niodions warehouse on WabaBU avenue
1hnt had been seized under ordsrs of
Mayor Hopkins for provisional bar
rucks. Tbe majority of the roads reported
that passenger trains wsre being rnn
with a fairly close adhesion to schedule
time and that the freight blockade was
beiug gradually lifted.
A detour of tbe various depots by
representatives of tbe United Press in
dicated that these statements were
fairly well founded.

Washington, D. C, Jnly 9. The

tion is as follows:
By the President of the United States of

Secretary of State,
Tbe decision to issue such a procla
mation was made this morning and the
past few days was given up to arranging
its term. Tonight Secretary Larnout,
Attorney General Oluey, Postmaster
General Bisaell and lilujor Geueral
Schofield met tbe president at the
white bouse and expressed salisfastiou
with the scope of the manifesto in
which they had a share in perfecting.
me president today received another
certification from the governor of
Idaho respecting tbe necessity for
federal troops to maintain order In
that state. This was supplemented by
semi-official dispatches to the Idaho
senators from Judge Beatty, the United
States judge for the district of Idaho,
and from other proininentpersons in the
state, requesting them to urge upon the
president the need for troops In the
Coenr D'Alene region. Senators Shoup
and Dnbois took these dispatches to
the white house tonight and had a talk
with the secretary of war and Major
General Schi fWld on tbe subject. It
seems that Governor MoCoanell'a dis
patch to tbe president received yester
day was not quite iu accord with tbe
requirements of the constitution in
such emergencies, but troops will un
doubtedly b dispatched from Fort
Sherman to the scene of the troubles.
The conference this evening ended
shortly after 10 o'clock. General
Miles telegraphed that everything was
quiet and that he was going to bed,
and tbe president and hia advisers
concluded to do likewise. General
Miles also advised that the mus meet
ing of trade unionists was oil for to
night.
Secretary Lsmont and Goneral Scho
field remained with the president for
some nfter Secretary Grojbum, who
arrived late, Attorney General Olney
and Postmaster General Bitsell had
left. When General Schofield left the
white house at 11 o'clock he said that
matters looked tetter tonight than they
bail at any time since tbe strike begun.
The general said that no state troops iu
any state bad been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness for service, al
though the president had specific con
stitutional authority to cull them out.
He also said that no additional regular
troops had been sent to Chicago or else
where. EFFECT OF PROCLAMATION.

TEE STRIKE UNIVERSAL.
Knights of Labor Thiounhout th Coun
try Will b Callsd to Join.
Chicago, July 9. -Grand Master
Workman Sovereign and Member Mar
tin of the tbe executive board, attended
a secr.-t conference this afternoon at
which tbe situation wus discussed by
the Knights of Labor. A final decision
to strike iu numbers all over the coun
try was finally adopted. Mr. Sovereign
said to night that every Knight of La
bor in the Uuited States would go
when called npon to assist the strikers.
One more day of suspense and tho
city will either be restored to a peace
ful condition or riot and anarchy will
rnn loose in tbe streets.
This li tho universal verdict as to
tbe outcome of the attempt at arbitra
tion with the Pnllraan company, which
failed today, nnd the unanimous agree
ment of all labor organizations to
strike in sympathy with the Pnllmau
employes and the American Railway
nnion men unless a settlement of
tho strike and boycott is effected be
fore 4 o'olock tomorrow afternoon.
The wildest rumors have been flying
today as to the probable action of the
strikers aud the authorities I; is not
doubted that over 100,000 men will
obey tbe call to strike a agreed npon
at the meeting.
Only one nuion out of the 100 has
not agreed to strike and that is the
printers.
The gravity of the situation is be
coming more and more apparent in
Chicago and as the feeling increases
tho ff oris on the part of disinterested
parties to secure a settlement have
been redoubled.
The news sprend broadcast tonight
that the hundred or more anarchists in
Cbieago had not ueglected the oppor
tunity to iiifl.mio the excited masses
with their destructive doctrines, has
tended to increase the excitement and
suspense.
During the meetings held in Uhlich's
ball and elsewhere tho past week rep
resentative anarchists have been pres
ent iu tb lobby at all times. Sam
Fielden and his friends bave been con
spicuous, and the apparent efforts to
rs-awakeo an interest in the anar
chlal doctrine have been looked upon
with fear by both the American Rail
way nnion officials and tbe authorities.

tives Turn Deaf Ear to Pleadings of
the Visitors General Strike Today.
CniCAao, 111., Jnly 9.
T IS war to the knife, nnd the knife
to the hilt. The powers have
spokt-n and the most tremendous
strik. known to history will be in
augurated tomorrow when the evening
whistles blow, and a hundred thousand
men lay down their work, hot to re-
torn until the rullman boycott is
settled.
Today has been the most quiet Chi
cago has experienced since the great
Pullman boycott was declared, but It
was the quiet that precedes the storm,
and beneath the strange stillness the
ear of the close wutcliover of vveuts
can catch the ominous rumblings of nn
industrial cyclone, threatening dread
disaster and fearful destruction, a
storm wbose awful portent's uono may
read aud whose vast consequences none
may forecast.
The strike which paralyzed traffic on
tbe railroads for the past few weeks
and wrought loss beyond computation
to every interest in Chicago, tvlll to
morrow be augmented by the practical
cessation of nil industry and the almost
complete paralysis of commerce in and
about the city. All night Sunday and
until tho gray hours of Monday's dawn
a great meeting composed of delegates
from all of the trades unions iu Chi
cauo sat in Unlich's ball and wrestled
with the problem confronting it. The
question before the meeting was,
Shall the trades unions of Chicago
strike in sympathy with the Pullman
boyeott to the end that the priuoiple
of arbitration may win?
CITY COUNCILS INTERESTED.
It was a gathering of thoughtful
men, and their deliberations were
marked for their calm earnestness.
The gravity of the situation was fully
apprehended. It was determined that
a last attempt be made to got the Pull
man company to arbitrate its differ
ences with its workiugmen, and a com
mittee of seven was appointed
to call npon the mayor with
a view to securing tne co-opera
tion of prominent business in-n in
securing from the Fullmnh company
tho concession asked for arbitration.
A brief meeting was held in the
mayor s olhcewhlcd' adjourned to an
other meeting with the city council
committee on arlitration. At tbe last
meeting Alderman McGillen, chair
man of the council committee.
made tbe suggestion that a committee
be appointed who should Invest!
gate and determine whether the Pull
man company's statement that there
was nothing to nrbitrute was trne and
just, that the committee be composed
of two members named by the Pullman
company, two to be named by thn
judges of the circuit conrt of Cook
comity, nnd the fifth by tbe four first
chos-n. The suggestion was adopted
by the joint committee and a flub-com
mlttee appointed to presnnt the propo
sition to tbe I'ullmitu company.
This committee was composed of tho
council committee Aldermen McGil
len, Marrener.Muelhoefer and Powers,
and Messrs Elderkin, Ryan nnd Lind-
holm, representing tbe trades nnlons.
The sub-committee repaired at once to
the office of Vice President Wickes, of
the Pullman company. and requested an
Interview with that gentleman, It was
grunted, and then followed a scene
which bids fair to rival iu historic in
terest aud importance any event in tbe
history of labor, hvery man present
felt the extreino gravity of the hour
and the silence through which tho
voices of the speakers seemod painfully
distinct was oppres-n ve.
RECEPTION IIY MB. WICKES.
'Do vou come as an official of the
city?'' Mr. Wickes asked thn alderman.
"I do, replied 4lr. McUillen.
"Do you represent the mayor in this
matter? inquired the Pullman oiuslal
"The mayor will endorse our action
here, the alderman replied.
Alderman McGillen wus tho spokes
man. He addressed Mr. Wickes and
placed before him the proposition ns
authorized by the fnll committee.
Unce, as the ahierman iiuitn I for an
instant. Mr. Wickos sail "The com
puny cannot recede from the position
it has already neiu.
The interjection aroused Alderman
McGillen and he eloquently portrayed
the sliuntion in nil its hearings and tho,
inevitable consequence unless a settle
ment were reached. Mr. Wickes list
ened attentively. He seemed touched
by the appeal, nnd when the spokes
man had concluded Mired with Attor
ney John S, Runnels, of the Pullman
company, for consultation The delay
wasof brief duration. When he relumed
every one present in read Vic President
Wickes stern face the fateful answer
ha would make. The feeling was in-
tensa and the little throng, compose 1
of committeemen and members of
the press nnd news' association, wuited
breathlessly for him to speaic. at
dressing Aldermun McGillen Mr
Wickes said :
"The Pullman company bat nothing
to arbitrate."
Then there was a painful silence
Alderman McGillen aeomed paralyzed
for a moment He could not believe
the Pullman company would assume a
resDonsibility so tremendously grave.
"Am I to understand," he sinwly said,
"that tbe Pullman company refuses
this slight requett,made in so grave an
hour, and npon wniuu so uiuoo de
pends?"
"Tbe Pullman company has nothing
to arbitrate," reiterated Vice President
Wickes.
Alderman McGillen said with great
emphasis: "Mr. Wickes, your company
demands the police protection of the
federal government, the stats of Illi
nois, the county of Cook and the
city of Chicago, nnd yet you utterly
ignore a fair nq'iest made by the
city, a request tho fundamental Idea of
which Is the preservation of peace.
We have come to you as conservors of
the pence and you have assumed grave
responsibility in thus refusing the re
quest we make, a responsibility greater.
perhaps, thau ever you are aware."
"lhere is a principle Involved in this
matter," said Mr. WickfS. "which the
Pullman company will not surrender.
It is that employers must be permitted
to run their buiiuess iu their own Way
and without interference from employes
or from anybody ilse. We shall not
allow any one to tell us how our busi
ness shall be conducted, and we shull
not consent to arbitration. Our busi
ness is onr own private affair and we
want no interference from federal or
state or any other government."
There was nothing more to siy. One
hundred thousaud men will quit work
tomorrow night for an indefinite
period, trusting that in their contest
for the principle of arbitration, they
will win.

Fleet Passes the Senate with but
Little Opposition.
Washington, D. C. July 9. The
naval appropriation bill was passed in
the senate today with very little fric
tion or delay. There was on amend
ment offered which might have led
to considerable debate, and that
was for the construction of
two new steel-armored cruisers,
st a cost not exceeding S3.700.000 each.
Mr. Gorman (Md.) who was in charge
oi tbe bill, requested tbat the amend
ment should be withdrawn, on tbe
ground, first that by 1890 the thirteen
cruiser now in course of construction
would be completed and would fnrnisb
a very respectable navy,and seeond.tbut
in the present depressed condition of
business and the existing state of the
treasury finances, it is desirable to
keep down expenses, Mr. Daniel, Vir
ginia, who hhd offered the amendment,
recognized tha force of tbe suggestions.
and in accordance with Mr. Gorman's
request, withdrew tbe amendment.

tee reports, council passsd to a con
sideration of the resolution intra
duced one week ago by Mr. Kearney
asking for a committee to Investigate
charges that the president, Mr. Man
gan, had solicited tnree passes from
the vv likes-barre and Wyoming Val
ley Traction company.
President Muugun declared Mr.Ksar
oey out of order, because tbe resolution
in question bore no signature, Mr
Kearney then asked Mr. Mangan to re
turn the copy of the resolution so he
(Kearuey) could sign it. This the pre

it is not belioved that he can sustain it
indefinitely.
