Rioters Killed or Wounded.

effect of dispensing it probably for the
night. No causalties are reported.
Three cavalry men came into the sta
ton a little while < considerably
hurt, but not dangerously, by stones
and missiles. Wild rumors are afioat,
and some have been telegraphed hence
of fearful carnage which has not yet
occurred. The total number of those
known to have been killed cannot ex-
coed fifteen. OF these, three bodies
are at the morgue, and the others have
been taken in charge by their friends.
The names OF the killed are so differ
eutly reported that they cannot he
given with any degree OF certainty.
They are generally unpronounceable,
being Polish, Bohemian and other for
eign names. None of the police have
received dangerous wounds, or aught
but hard blows.
CHICAGO, July 26-midnigbt.
The situation at this hour is briefly
this: The police have retired to a
we'll. earned rest. The Second Regi-
ment is encamped on the visduct,
where they intend to stay all night.
The mob appears to be dispersed, and
few are in sight, but it is not unlikely
that they will appear before morning
aud renew the fight. The Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy freight depot
is guarded by two companies of United
States troops. The arInories are gar
risoned and all is quiet now. All re-
ports of riots in other parts OF the city
are false. No trouble has occurred to-
night, except at the viaduct. The two
volleys last fired were fired by the
Second Regiment, and resulted in no
deaths, so far as known.
CHICAGO, July q.
At 2 o'clock A. NJ. the city is very
quiet, and will remain so until morn
ing. Various estimates were made to-
night concerning deaths from the
struggle. 1t is certain that at least a
half dozen have been seen to die, but
the mob, Indian like, hurried the
wounded away before their names
could be learned. Doubtless many
names of the wounded will appear in
the weekly mortality list next Mon
day. Some claim that as high as so
have been killed Or MORALLY wounded.
Meeting Of the Cabinet-The Gov.
ernOr Of Dakota Asks for Troops.
WASHINGTON, July 26.
At q Cabinet meeting to day General
Hancock was ordered to proceed to
Pittsburg with q large force. He will
start Immediately. The object of Gen
eral Hancock going over the line OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad to Pitts
burg is to aid the Governor Of Penn
~sylvania in protecting workmen in re.
building the road, that supplies may
be sent to various cities along the line
and communication between Philadel-
| phia and the interior of the State be
reopened.
Another subject in connection with
the strike, which vas discussed at
length, was in regard to United States
Courts sustaining receivers appointed
by them for certain wards. The courts
are to issue writs to Marshals, in
structing them to see that the roads
and boards OF receivers are not inter-
fered with by rioters; and the Mar
shals have power, If necessary, to
summon a force to enforce the orders
Of their ouris. This brings rioters in
direct opposition to the power of the
Federal Government, should they at
tempt to interfere with any roads in
the hands of receivers; and it was ar
gued that the whole power of the Gov
eminent should be brought to bear to
sustain the United States Marshsls in
case of necessity.
