III st. Louis the general outlook has very
much improved and a general feeling is en-
tcrtancd that the crisis has passed. Quiet
prevails throughout the city, but
there is no relaxation of vigilance.
The city is now patrollcd by five thousand
militia and police and 10 further trouble is
apppehended. In San Francisco, the city is
under the control Of the police and vigian;s,
though the mob have posted notices to the
manufacturers to discharge their Chinese Ia
Dor or the torch would be applied. This is
pclnS done in many cases, but there is no
great apprehension of trouble in any part of
the city. In Chicago the situation
on the 9th was comparatively quiet.

Archer avenues but was dispersed by the 20

dcmorallzcd, and complete order will soon be

up to a late hour at nj Sht still remained quiet
and such effective precautions arc adopted nv
the police and military that it is not believed
the peace of the city can again be seriously

condition. From Buffalo, n Y it IS stated
that passenger traffic on all the roads exccnt
the Canada Southern has been resumed. Trains
on the n Y. Central and Hudson River roads
arc running on time. Pittsburg is quiet. Gen.
Hancock has been ordered there, and it is
thought the military Will take possession
of the Pennsylvania road before the
strikers can offer etfcctual resistance.
In Columbus Ohio, order has been restored
and employees are resuming work In Indian
apolis, committees OF safety have been formed
and an attempt will soon be made to raise
the blockade on al trains. The Baltimore n
Ohio Road declines to accede to its employees
demands not to enforce the 10 per cent rcduc.

east and west and it is believed, that the
general condition of business will in !: dav or

The strike may be said to have ended.

But by dlnt OF the energetic measures adopted

literally stamped out. In some localities this

others the same result has been ACCOMPLISHED
through the determined efforts of the citizens,
who, realizing the necessity of preserving the
peace, banded together, and in conjunction

18th, the civil authorities determined to pre-

previous and took such effective measures

the day. This was caused by the assembling
OF a crowd in the lumber districts, but the no.

ing the mob and restoring order. The reac-
ton has already set i'll and commercial bust
ness Is resuming its former channels. Ex
cltement has not wholly died out, nor has the
vigilance of the authorities in any wise relax
ed. PatrOlmen, militia and officers are ut
their posts and on the alert. The mayor re-
fuses to allow saloons to be rc-opened until
further orders, and has revoked the licenses of
all who disobey his orders. Order has been
restored in the town of Braidwood on the AL.
ton 4 st. Louis road, which has heretofore
been the scene of great deal of disturbance
and rioting, and there is no doubt trains are
even now running in safety on that line. On
the Fort Wayne 4 Pennsylvania roadI trains
are running regularly and without detention
from Chicago to all points East. The MAYOR
authorizes the statement that the CITY is now
entirely free from rioters and that the strikers
are rapidly returning to their various EMPLOY
ments. In the collisions on Thursday and
Thursday night 9 rioters were killed and 70
more wounded. No damage to property has
been done and but slight interference to bust
ness has resulted. Later reports show that 10
rioters were Killed instead of nine as previous
~ reported. Pittsburgh is guarded by some
3,OOo troops and last accounts was quiet. At
Johnstown on Friday night, train with SOL
diers was attacked by 4 mob and several of the
former badly hurt. AS the train attempted to
pass on, it was thrown from the track by a
misplaced switch and collided with q car
loaded with brick and several of the cars bad
ly wrecked. Col. Hamilton of the 1st U. s.
Artillery and several of his soldiers were badly
injured. In the Plymouth mining district
",oO0 miners have struck, and in that region all
business is paralyzed. In Ohio the backbone
OF the strike is broken and freight trains are
beginning to run as heretofore. The situation
in East St. Louis is quiet. The u S. military
under Gen. Pope have taken possession of
those roads which are in the hands of receiv
ers and will see that business is resumed on
these lines speedily. Gov. Cullow is there also
and will see that the blockade is raised. In
St. Louis several ofthe roads are in operation
but on tho St. Louis Kansas City and North
