THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
Yesterdays WORK IN CHICAGO
A Harmless Uprising - Tho Mob
Dispersed.

The history of the days work would
be comprised in statement of harm
less revolution of the cavalry and police.
Not head has been broken; not over a
dozen shots have been fred, and they
at random and without effect. The
mob, as a mob, has melted away, but
whether on account of the extraordi-
nary activity in military circles or the
inequality of yesterdays battle is not
vet known. It is certain, however,
that scenes of carnage have been pre-
vented by the failure Of the rabble to
renew their charge. A story was
started tonight that fight was pro-
crossing at the stock yards, bat, like
many other reports that have been cur
rent for the past few days. it tnrned
out untrue. Ln this connection it may
be well to explain yesterday s rumor of
the firing into the crowd by the
artillery. The rumor came through
the police and military headquarters
and from two evening papers stimuli
taneously, but apparently from differ
emit sources. It wss likewise known
that q cannon had been taken to the
scene, and other circumstances seem to
confirm the story. 1t was, however,
false. It is tated to night that the
communists have fixed on Sunday AS
the next day of their attack. No
authority is given for the statement,
and it Is believed to have no founda-
ton in fact. The patrols and other ex
traordinary precautions for safety are
kept up tonight

The mud and rain have not dwarfed
the attendance at the door of the hall
where committee of worXlagluen as
sembled. Three O'Clock was the time
announced for the meeting, and the
police, fearing trouble. decided to break
it up. Accordingly fifty mounted
police, strongly armed, proceeded to
the hall with five hundred of the
citizens guard and two. companies of
the National Guards with one piece of
artillery, to arrest all participants.
When half block from the hall the
police drew their pistols and charged on
the crowd in all directions. easily scat
tering it. The police then mounted the
stairs of the hall where the committee
were assembled and arrested twenty
five men, whom they found there. and
marched them to the station house.
Only one man attempted resistance,
but he quickly succumbed. The
crowd made no demonstration. an3 the
whole affair was over in ten minutes.
There is much rejoicing at the result.
The workingmen's party issue dis
fclaimer to. night of all acts of violence
done in this country, and denouuee all
mobs; declaring that a peaceful and
successful issue of the strike is al! they
desire.

Running on some Roads.
New York, July 81.
No trouble is apprehended here. The
attempt to rouse the cabinet makers
to strike seems a failure. The Police
Board to-day informed General May
that it is unnecessary to keep the
military longer at their armories and
thanks the different regiments for their
manifestation and cordial co operation
