TIATORY STEPS.

strikers demanded for Trial.
CHICAGO, July .-Notwithstandln the
riotous demonstration yesterday after
noon, the Western Division Street
Railway Company sent out thirty
two Of its cars at 1880 O'Clock
this morning on the Madison, Rans
dolph, Lake and Van Buren street lines.
six or eight policemen rode on each car
while the streets were patroled by a
heavy reserve force. The early down.
town cars were all we'll patrOnized, ladies'
and working girls constituting the bulk
of the passengers. Outwardly everything
was quieJ along the several street car
routes, crowds not being permitted to as>
semble. Car-driver Wallace Chaffee, who
was assaulted by a mob last afternoon, was
this morning at the county hospital in a
precarious condition. Eight persons
have been arrested up to this morning for
participation In the distur Dances of yes.
terday afternoon. Pending q settlement
Of the strike the residents OF the west iii.
vision are dependent very largely upon
express wagons and other iDproYisad
conveyanees by which 10 reach the busi-
ness portion OF the city, and are compelled
to pay 10 cents fare.
IAtH BLUM AbE MUST UE MAlbEns
The Times is the only paper that has
expressed any decided views toward end.
Ing the present street car strike. 1t says
this morning. "rhere can be no ques-
tion that the blockade should be broken
at once at whatever cost. The spaamOdio
movement Of a few cars loaded with
police will not accomplish this most
necessary result, for 1t is
well understood that the poo
pie will not travel on the
oars under such conditions. Persons who
care for their own safety will not take the
risk, and the number Of those willing to
pay for a ride with the chance OF having
their heads broken or fighting their way
through is exceedingly small. The Times
nas no advice to offer the parties in
this disturbance as 10 the mode or terms Of
settlement, but it insists that the en-
barge on the trade Of the city shall be-
raised without further delay.
THE USE or TROOPS ADVOCATED.
"If it be true, as has been said,0 cons
tinues the Times, "that the police force IS
insufficient in number to insure absolute
safety Of citizens travelling by any con-
veyance upon the streets Of Chicago, tnen
/ it is manifestly the duty Of somebody to
| invoke higher and more efdcaciOus power.
/ The State maintains militia OF some
strength which should have been called
| upon long ago, and If this is not sufficient
| for the purpose then the national army
| should be invoked. II would be cheaper
| for Chicago to pay the cost Of lining egerY
car street with soldiers than To suffer forl
another day the calamity it has endured
| for a week."
THE CAPTIVEs.
Eight mon arrested for participation in
the attack upon the street cars yesterday
afternoon were arraigned before a JUS
tice Of the Peace this forenoon, ana their
cases were continued until July l6. James
Kennedy. who is charged with having
made a murderOus assault upon COM
ductor Cha1ee, wSs held in $1,000 bail
until July il.
Only one case Of violence was reported
to-day. Van Buron street car was
smashed on the corner OF R0bey street.
The driver was badly beaten. The con-
duct0r ran away. No arrests were madeJ
This il about the same place the trouble
occurred yesterday. Four Of the cars run!
this afternoon were driven by Cook
county Deputy Sherlffs wearing their
badges and having clubs.
NEARING THE END.
At 1880 O'Clock this afternoon the first
indication was given Of a peaceable end
| ing of the strike. The strikers this mOrn-
| ing addressed letter 20 the President On
| stating that the strikers were willing t0l
| compromise on basis TO be determined
| by three Judges Of the courts. In answer
| to this. President Jones Of the railway
| sent written reply, an0 as "A result OF
this deputatiOn from the strikers went
! into consultation with the officials OF the
company, and it terminated at nOon,l
| when kir. Jones and the President
| of the conductors went 10 attend
Il meeting Of tine special committee OE
| the City Council arranged for last night.
| There was only "A short session OF this
committee, when Mr.. Jones made prop
osItion Tor the strikers 10 resume work.
The proposition was in the nature OF a
compromise.

striking conductors and drivers having
adjusted their differences, cars Will be-
running tomorrow.

tonight, prepared TO move on the ri0ters
