CLEVELAND, o., July 9.-The situation
remains unchanged this morning 50 far as
the precautionary arrangements down
town are concerned. The Central police
station is full Of patrolmen, and outside
stand two four horse buses, which are 70
convey the men wherever needed. At
the city armory detachments Of the iGrays,
Light Artillery and the Fifth Regiment
only are on duty, ready to move on call.
At about nine o'clock, news reached the
Central Station from the Eighteenth ward
that procession Of strikers, numbering
over 100, had Just left the corner Of
Broadway aud Hamm streets, and were
marching toward the city. a band of
music was at their head, and they were
living the stars and stripes. An hour
later, and Just as the strains of music were
beginning to be heard from up Superior
street, q second message was received to
send help at once 10 the Screw Works, ON
the corner of Case aud Payne avenues.
At the command "fAll in" given by
Lieutenant Koch, forty patrolmen
sprang TO their places, and In 9
brief space Of time they had
filed two large buses, and were whirllng
away in the direction Of the Screw Works.
When they reached the City Hall the
head OF the procession was Just passing
there. The procession was marching
quietly and orderly; and on reaching
Ontario street it turned up toward Broad
way. The men composing the procession
all carried clubs, bat they are evidently
undecided what to do or where to go. 1t
was reported they intended to visit Aiessrs.
Chisholms' office, and, further, that they
would call on the Mayor and demand eat
isiaction, hut no such action has been
taken at this time, and It is sincerely
hoped that they will do nothing to preclp.
itate an open outbreak.
A telephone messsge from the Screw
Works, received about IL o'clock, states
that al. is quiet there, although it is rumor-
ed that the large body ofmen who Just
marched through the public square and
out Ontario street are now en- route to the
Screw Works. Another rumor is to the
effect that the strikers will at once return
to5thtir place ofrendezvous at the peach
orcharl! In the Eighteenth ward. The last
rumor proved TO be the correct one, and
the city is now clear OF the mob.
TRE MAYOR INTERVIEWED.
When It was learned that the strikers
we're coming from the Fourteenth ward a
lot Of prominent men gathered in the
Mayors office. In few minutes the
music OF band was heard mud the column
of strikers was seen approaching. They
had band, but did not keep step to tho
music. The red banner could not beseen,
the only ensign being. the American flag.
As they marched past the city hall they
presented formidable appearance. They
numbered fully 1900 and every man Of
them carried club, some OF which we're
cruel looking weapons. The procession
did not stop but continued on and march-
ed out Broadway, but committee which
had been appointed by them dropped out
OF the ranks and went into the Mayors
Office. The committee had long talk
with the Mayor and the members OF the
Advisory Committee. Mayor Gardner adj
vised them not to parade any more, and
he sternly warned them against carrying
arms or attempting to break into any more
manufacturing establishments. He told
them that he had power to supprsss any
lawlessness on their part and that he
would do It, and that Il any riotins was
done the strikers would be confronted by
q gattlins gun handled in dead earnest.
BE had contemplated going with the com-
mittee as an individual, he sale, to lkwith
Mr.. Chisholm. He had telephoned to Mr..
Chisholm and that gentleman had inform
cd nin that all the company wished to
say to the strikers had been said in their
circular. The Mayor again warned the
men s9ainst being disorderly, and advised
them 70 20 peaceably to their homes. The
members OF the committee had nothing to
say in reply and departed.
