PITTSBURGH, July 27.-The strikers on
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad have continued 10 hold full and
undisputed possession Of the terminus Of
that road in this city. To-day the authors
ties sent them word that unless they
surrendered control Of the COM
pany's property the military would
be used against them. After a parley, the
strikers agreed 10 abdicate their position
and surrender the railroad property 10 the
proper managers, hut said they would con-
tinue the strike at their pleasure. This be-
ing satisfactory 10 the authorities, the strik-
ers abandoned their stronghold, and the
company's officers retook possession.

WASHINGTON, july 26.-The Government
has decided 10 treat the riotous demonstra-

and 10 suppress II In accordance with the
laws Of the United States and the States in
such cases made and provided. II was to-
day ordered that additional regular troops

Ohio Railroad, for the purpose Of opening
At once the entire line Of freight and passen-
ger traffic. All persons who resist will be held
amenable under the Presidents proclama-
ton, and, II possible, be promptly arrested,
but certainly dispersed. Gov. Hartranft
will certainly be sustained In opening the
Pennsylvania Road, and suppressing the re-
sistance elsewhere 10 the law In Pennsylva-

Of the regular army and marine and naval
