CAIcAGo, July 25.-Itis reported that
a mob camein contact with the police on
TWenty-second street, and that the lat.
ter, being assailed with stones and sticks,
fred their revolvers over the heads Of
the crowd, and for a time quelled the
disturbance. II is also said that they
have been reinforced and will clean out
the rioters. A branch of the crowd went
this morning to L. w. Blatchford's white
lead and oil works, on Fulton and Green
streets, where 200 men are employed,
and demanded that the place be closed
up. This being refused, they began
s%toning the building, breaking windows
and committing other depredations. The
latter part Of the night passed without
trouble Of any kind.

Their trouble on the Union Pacific OF

employees Of all the roads are quietly at
work and no disorderly demonstration
have been made. The action of General
superintendent Clark in resembling the
order for a reduction and the orderly
and sensible action OF the employees il
unanimously commended. The state
ment that newspaper reporters we're ex.

an error. An attempt was made, but was

BALTIMORE, July 25,-The supplies Of
bituminous coal are being exhausted.
One Of the largest coal shippers said
yesterday that he had secured the loan,
from another FIRM, of enough coal to
supply steamers to Gil contracts. He
took a gloomy view Of the situation, and
believed if the railroad transportation
troubles continued ten days longer few
il any steamers trading with Baltimore
will be able to get coal, and will have to
stop unless they bring supplies from
other places-from where he did not
know. twenty-five vessels are in port
chartered to load coal, and charges
for demurrage for detention, averaging
sixty dollars a day for each, will
be exacted. Demurrage alone will
be q heavy item 10 losses. Eight or ten
vessels are on berths to load petroleum
for Europe, but there is no oil for them,
and the lsborers required to load them
are out Of work. The contract to send
out these csrgoes cannot be filled. De.
murrage charges as high as FIVE hundred
dollars a day will be the result, and there
is a probability that some shippers will
abandon contracts altogether rather than
meet the losses which detention may en-
tail.
At Locust Point and along the wharves
and at uptown docks the hundreds of
laborers required to load and unload
vessels are idle because no freight can
be received or shipped out Of the city.
The quietness of Sunday reigns in local..
ties heretofore noisy with the busy hum
of indushJ. There is a grow ing fear OF
distress, which seems to be inevitable
among the laboring classes that are not
atrikers and are willing to work when
there is anything for them to do.
IL ANAL is quiet here this morn

Turned Loose.

The man GilIand, who was arrest ed
night before last for stabbing Dutch
Henry, has been turned loose, no afli-
davit having been made against him,
From subsequent developments, we
Judge that there were some justifying
circumstances in the case, and It was
clearly an act Ct selfdefense. The
fact that neither the colored woman
or the wounded man seemed willing
to lodge information against him,
strengthens the idea.
