Inc city is now patrolled by five thousand
militia and police and no further trouble is
apppehcnded. In San Francisco, the CITY is
under the control of thepolice and vigilants,

manufacturers to discharge their Chinese la

being done in many cases, but there is no
great apprehension of trouble in any part of
the city. In Chicago the sitnation
on the 9th was comparatively quiet.

Archer avenues, but was dispersed by the no.

oemorallzed, and complete order will soon he

condition. From Buffalo, N. Y. it is stated
that passenger traffic ON all the roads excent
the Canada Southern has been resumed Trains
on,the n. Y. Central and Hudson River roads
are running on time. iPittsburg is quiet. Gen
Hancock has been ordered there. and f. *

strikers can offer effectual 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 all trains. The Baltimore f.
Ohio Road declines to accede to its EMPLOYEES,
demands not to enforce the 10 per cent redne-

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

The strike may be said to have ended,

who, realizing the necessity Of preserving the
peace, banded together, and in conjunction
with the guardians OF the law, adopted such
eHectlve precautions and presented such an
imposing front that the evil disposed and the
rlotous were speedily awed into submission
and convinced of the utter hopelessness of
further resistance. In Chicago Yesterday. the
18th, the civil authorities determined to pre-
vent the riotous proceedings of the two DAYS
previous and took such effective measures
that but a single disturbance occurred during
the day. This was caused by the assembling
OF a crowd IN the lumber districts, but the DO
lice without difficulty succeeded in dispers
ing the mob and restoring order The reac-
ton has already set in and commercial bust
ness is resuming its former channels. ES-
citement has not wholly died out, nor has the
vigilance of the authorities in any wise relax
ed. Patrolmen, militia and officers are ri
their posts and on the alert. The mayor re-
fuses 10 allow saloons to be re-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 s. st. Louis road, which has heretofore
been the scene ola 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 d Pennsylvania road; 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 rioters were killed and 50
more wounded No damage to property has
been done and but slight interference to bust
ness has resulted. Later reports show that -
rioters were killed instead of nine as previous
ly reported. Pittsburgh is guarded by some
5000 troops and at last accounts was quiet. At
Johnstown on Friday night, train with SOL
diers was attacked by mob and several of the
former badly hurt. AS the train attempted to
pass on, it was thrown from G the track by a
switch and collided with a car
loaded with brick and several of the cars bad
ly wrecked. Col. Hamilton of the LIST, U. s.
Artillery and several Of his soldiers were badly
injured. In. the Plymouth mining district
5000 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 sec that the blockade is raised. In
st. Louis several softhc roads arc in operation
but on the st: Louis Kansas City and North
ern, nothinghas yet been done in the way of
resuming operations. Baltimore, New York,
Indianapolis and other points good order
prevails and the usual routine of business is
being resumed. On the Canada Southern
