WASHINGTON, July 22-l2 M.-The Ma
rines, hence for Baltimore last night, ar:
rived safely. The mob did not u1elest them
In any way. The police found little diff
euity in clubbing crowds to their homes.
There were about one hundred arrests.
Thirty.fye or forty oil-care and some other
property was burned by the rioters at Pied
mont station, 9 short distance from the city.
General Hancock is at Baltimore. The
troops en- route from Philadelphia fol. Pitts
burgh were hooted at at Harrisburg, and
as the train started showers OF stones struck
it. The police who arrested the men were
stoned on the way to the station-house. ..::
Great indecision characterizes Governor
Yoang's action. Newark still rampant.
The western partof Pittsburgh in the hands
of rioters. All control of affairs passed from
the strikers into the hands Of discontented
laborers OF all classes, and most terrible dis
organization exists among them. 'Oil-cars
are set on fire and--pushed from point to
point for incendiary purposes.
A portion OF Knapp's battery, which the
rioters captured, is strategiealIy placed to
prevent soldiers approaching the city.
Sheriff Fife is certainly killed. General
Pearson is said to be dying in the round
house, where the soldiers are besieged.
They owe their present safety from massa.
ere to the Gatling gun IN the round-house,
which the troops seem to handle with dis
cretion and effect. Dead are lying in the
vicinity, which the rioters are afraid to
move. 4. E.
CABINET IN EXTRA sEssroN-ARRrrAL OF
TROOPS. s,
WAsHINaroS, July 22.-The Cabinet was
In full extra session at the State Depart
ment this afternoon. Two companies of
artillery, equipped as infantry, arrived here
from Fortress Monroe. The United States
flagship Powhatan and the Swatara, now
stationed in Hampton Roads, are preparing
to come hither.
CABINET ARETING--UNABLE TO DECIDE HOW
TO QUELL THE MISREPRESENTATION
SIBERIAN. FAvoRs CALL FOR THE ASSEM-
BLING OF CONGRESS. T&
WASHINGTON, July 22.-It is stated that
Secretary Sherman favors an immediate call
for the assembling of Congress. The Cabi.
net to-day was, it is understood, unable. to
make any suggestion by which the disorder
might be compromised. The strong central
government which the Republicans have
been building since 1861 seems feeble
affair. They have sQuandered the sover-
eighty which they took from the States.
THE IDEA OF THE CABINET IS THAT THE CON-
TRoL HAS PASSED, INTO THE hands OF
THIEVES AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF VESSELS AND TROOPS
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The Cabinet had
a prolonged consultation at the State De
partmentI to-day. All were present ex.
cept Secretary Schurz. Adiutant-G Gene
raj Townsend was. called In: The subject
under discussion was the feasibility OF the
Federal Government taking entire charge
of the present railroad troubles as inter-
rupting the mails and ,interrupting traffic.
The dominant idea in Executive circles
seems to be that the control of the strike
has passed into the hands Of thieves and
The destination Of the Powhatan and
Swatara has been changed to Baltimore.
The Government has ordered troops from
Columbus to Pittsburgh, and from St. Louis
to indianapolis, for the protection OF the
arsenals. 2: - 4en.a." j. f.1'.a:! y - /.
