Gradually the strike is spreading from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Already Erie,
Fort Wayne. Cleveland and Pittsburg and
Union Pacific are affected, and it
now looks as though all the West
ern trunk lines, such as Lake Shore,
Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi &C., will
be drawn into the strife. Rumors were
afoat last night that employees on the New
Jersey and New York roads would take part
in the strike. The President issued procla-
nation yesterday ordering the insurgents
to dispense. 1t was also proposed in Wash
ington to declare Maryland, West vir-
GINA and Pennsylvania in state
of siege and call out seventy-fve
thousand volunteers. The conduct of
the people in Harrisburg last night was
very warlike, jeering and hooting at the
troops as they passed through to the scene
of the fighting at Pittsburg. Below will be
found the latest and fullest dispatches.
