The Situation IN Chicago.
Chicago, July $50 far as can be
a~scertained the casualties in the bloody
work of yesterday show that
TWENTY-FIVE WERE KILLED
and some % or 30 wounded more or
less seriously. This last indicates that
the police received more injuries In
proportion than the crowd. Such,
however, is not the case.
The fact that a man was acting in a
reportorial capacity initiated against
him with the mob, and any inquiry
directed to any of the rioters as to the
names or circumstances Of the killing
or wounding, was a signal for suspi-
cion of the inquirer, and for an attack
upon him whenever it seemed safe to
make it. Most of the reporters showed
personal bravery, and many of them ran
great risk of life. Among the incidents
was the capture by Superintendent OF
Police Hickey of n rioter, about whose
wrists he fastened Il cord, and mount
ing his horse rode away to the station,
through Il crowd of
OPPOSING kUFFIANs,
who showered stones upon him and his
horse. Arrests were numerous and
constant. Two officers combining them
selves to that branch of the service
brought i'll twelve rioters. a feature
of the fights was the frequent partici-
| patton of women, who fired shots from
inside and outside their houses, or
| hurled invectives, stones and mud in
| discriminatory at all who wore white
| shirts or blue coats. Much dissatisfac-
| ton is expressed at the orders given
| the latter through the mayor to avoid
| killing, the general belief being that
could the mob be made to underst md
| thoroughly that no blanks were carried
| and no quarter wonld be given, that
their yalor would fade away and they
| disappear. 1t is understood that the
U. S. troops if called into action, have
given fair notice that when they shoot
il would be with the best aim and the
direst effect possible. 1t is also stated
that should the mob gather and meet
the police again, that the latter are in
structed to
SPARE NO MORE LIVES.
Though the thoroughfares of the
city have been Invested of the thieves,
tramps and l~oafers, who usually infest
them, and who now have gone to join
the mob, depred. lions are not uncom-
mon, and yesterday there were several
robberies in broad daylight. II is also
stated that tramps are coming into the
city.
Chicago, July 27.-About noon the
police arrested NJ. G. Klinch, a grocery
and liquor dealer, the most prominent
agitator of the present lawless move
| ment. He has been present in all the
| attacks on the police, and has done
| more to precipitate bloodshed and in
! cite riots than any other person. The
| proofs of his criminality are complete.
Only one fire has been reported dur
| ing the day. Orders to the police have
| been modified, SO that to-day they are
instructed to shoot down any man who
| interferes with them in the discharge
of their duties, or who is belligerent as
Il rioter. This modification of the
original instructions is undoubtedly on
| account of the unstinted denunciations
on all sides which the temporazing
policy has met with.
The strike of the West Side street
railway barn men is nothing alarming,
though several turbulent characters
are among them. They said it was
days and see what was going on. They
disclaim any intention to riot.
Two companies of infantry and one of
cavalry, direct from Fort Mcpherson,
Neb., well armed, arrived during the
day and are quartered here temporarily
waiting orders from the Secretary of
War.
a close watch is kept on rioters,
their every movement reported, and
| and any resistance or INSTRUMENTATION
| will meet with summary punishment.
| The police headquarters have been no
titled of the arrest of Sandy's gang of
plug-uglies, who have been going about
intimidating workingmen and compel
ling them to quit.
The members of the Board of Trade,
to-day, raised S3, 800 for the family OF
Mr.. White, who was killed at Lawn
dale by rioters last night.
The list of arrested yesterday and
to-day show one hundred and twelve in
stations. They are almost invariably
of the lowest foreign element, and
among them many well-known dis
turbers of the peace.
The mayor to-day issued IL notice
calling on all laborers to resume work,
promising them and their employers
protection.
