EASTERN DISPATCHES


CHICAGO, July rs.
At this bour--six p. M.-the precise
situation as termed by dispatches and
by reports of press reporters is this:
TEE RIOTERS HAVE BEEN BUSY ALL DAY
in various parts Of town, but chiefly
between Canal and Green streets and
between Twelfth and Twenty-second
streets. The fighting has been carried
on in these streets almost exclusively.
and has been continuous and bloody,
if not as fatal as might be expected.
The police have rarely been the sg-
gressors. but whenever they have at
tempted to break mp mob they have
in the long run succeeded.
THE MOB Is INSULTING AND READY FOB
TROUBLE
At any moment, bat has a wholesome
fear of the mounted police and OF the
United State troops who are either on
the ground or in close proximity to
trouble the entire time. They have
arms of the most effective sort, and
whenever they appear the mob scatters.
The police de nes command great re-
spect, because the impression prevails
that they will generally fire too high to
hit, or shoot with blank cartridges.
THE ARRESTS HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS,
And hardly a man has been taken to
the stationhouse without rush being
made to release him or consequent
interchange of shots. 1t Is reported
that the last attempt to rescue Jail
prisoners, several wagon loads in num-
Der, was successful, but only after
hard fight. The police begin to COM
plain that they are being shot and
stoned down. as the rioters, whenever
the military disappear, attack them
with stones and pistols,
BUT POUR MEN ARE RELIABLY REPORTED
as yet. The entire force of the United
States troops expected are now here.
There are six companies OF the Twenty.
second Regiment and six companies OF
the Ninth Regiment of Infantry.
Societies for protection have been
formed in almost every ward to-day,
and preparations were made for
lively campaign. II is reported that
gang are coming from the stock yards
declaring that they will clean out every
policeman on Halstead street. They
are armed with butcher knives and
every conceivable weapon.
Later frona Chicago.
The firing at the viaduct was less
deadly than expected. Three cavalry
men were wounded, and the total num-
Der known to have been killed does not
exceed 10, bat others have doubtless
been MORALLY wounded.
The Railroad Strike Lost sight of.
ST.. LOUIS, July 26.
No new developments TO night. The
crowds are large, and General Davis
