answer to his application to the president
for troops: The secretary of war directs
you, General Barry to.report to the governor
of Maryland with guns and all your men

was sent as received to Fort McHenry by
a mounted orderly, who returned with word
th 1t the troops are in readiness at moments
notice.
The firing OF the Lee street portion of the

by mob attempting TO interfere with the
fremen. The mob cut the hose, put out the
fire of engine No. 2, and
FIRED UPON THE POLICE,

vIGILANT WATCHERS.
Pittsburg, July 2l.-B Between one and two
hundred strikers performed guard duty last
night and patroled the road from Union
depot to East Liberty stock yards. An at
tempt was made about midnight to move a
train from the outer depot but as no engineer
could be found willing to run the engine
the attempt had to be abandoned. The
strikers say it will be impossible for the rail
road company to obtain men to run the
engines. They say they will offer no resis-
ta, ce to soldiers, but will board trains at all
stations, draw coupling pins, cut trains loose
and thus prevent the departure ofall freight.
