Tho Advance of the Militia and the Attack
of the Strikers. t.
LEaoSr, 1Lts, May 4.-The strike
among the quarrymen here and at Joliet
has finally assumed proportions Of magnis
tude. The men who went out because
they failed to reelye an advance of wages
from $50 to 81 rs a day have been in a
turbulent condition for four weeks, during
which period the qnarries hare all been
idle. A number Of quarry owners had
repeatedly tried to resume operations, but
the strikers Invariably drove the work
men away, and for two weeks have domi-
necred and, in a measure, terrorized the
surrounding region. It became evident
on Friday that the county authorities
could not control them and the Governor
was asked TO send troops. He responded
promptly by sending five companies from
Joliet, Ottawa, Lssalle, strrater and
bloomington.
The arst meeting between the troops
and strikers occurred between Lemont
and Joliet Saturday afternoon, but 400
strikers who were marching on Joliet
'Lemont fed when exposed to the sudden
attack by the Militia. Seventy of tlieir
number, however, were captured by the
troops, disarmed and marched to Joliet
pnder guard. On Sunday morning, how
ever, the sheriff Of VIII county released
the prisoners and theyretnrned 10 Lemopt,

The bodies were taken TO the morgue

lords the Marquis OF Salisbury moved
for vote of cenaure on the govern

was greeted with loud applause.
Lord Salisbury said, in submitting his
motion OF censure, that the government
had acted throughout as If they were
unwilling TO arrive at decision
until the very last moment. They
always waited until pressure
forced them TO some kind of a decision,
Tho result of these hastily conceived
measures has been, throughout, deplora-
BILE. In the absence of any fixed policy,
the government had adopted the alb
surd plan of taking advantage of the
chivalry and self-devotion of one of the
noblest spirits of the age TO accomplish
by mere words and promises what they
lacked tho courage TO accomplish by
force of arms.
Tho speaker then reviewed the events
in Egypt from the period Of tho first
Arab rebellion TO that of the present
troubles in the Soudan. The govern
ment, he declared, knew Gen. Gordon

disgrace.
