CARS RUNNING.
AHA. u. President Kleckner and two
other members OF the German Associa-
ton held conference with Supenhtend-
ent Lake. Cars are now running with
considerable regularity on Madison, Lake,
Van Buren and Randolph streets. They
are manned with armed officers Thus

The Times Is the only paper which has |
expressed any decided views towards end
ing the present street car strike. It says
this morning: .fThera can be no question |
that the blockade should be broken att
once, ct whatever cost. The spaSmodic |
movement OF q few cars loaded with po-
lice will not accomplish this most neces-
sary result, for Is well understood that
the people will not travel on ears. under
such conditions. Persons who=care for |
their own safety will not take the risks
and the number OF those willing to pay
heads broken, or fighting their way
through Is exceedingly small.

"rhe Times has no advice to aiEer the
parties in the disturbance as to the mode
or terms Of settlement, but It ins:sts that
the embargo OF the trade Of this great city
shall be raised without further delay. II
It Is true, "a has becn said, that the police
force isinsnficient TO insure the absolute
safety Of citizens travelling by any convey
anee upon the streets Of Chicago, them 1t
is manifestly the duty OF somebody to in
woke a higher and more etticacious power.
The State maintains militia Of soma
strength, winch should have been called
upon long ago; and II this Is not sufficient ]
for the purpose, then the Natiorsl arm
should be invoked. Itwould be cheaper
for Chicago to pay the cost Of lining every
car street with soldiers than to suffer 70.

for q week.
The eight men arrested for participa-
ton in the attack upon the street ears,
yesterday afternoon, were arraigned be-
fore q Justice OF the Peace this forenoon,
and their cases continued until the 18th
inst. James Kennedy, who Is charged
with having made the murderous assamltt
upon the injured conductor, Ohafee, was
held in s., 600 bail until the 1lth inst Upi
to noon no violence of any kind had been
reported to-day.
= ARIGoRous ORDER.
The order promulgated by Captain Bon
EGeld this morning was, "dontt ssy a word
to anybody, but If any attempt Is made to
put cans of the track kin the frst man
that lays hand on them" The eonser-
valve policy Of running the vehicles in
trains, as on Friday and Monday, so as TO |
keep the police in . better state Of eoneen-
tration, was dropped to-day.
A Van Buren, street car was smashed on |
the corner of Robey street about 0 o'clock |
this morning. The driver was badly |
beaten. The conductor ran away. No
arrests were made. This Is about the
same place where trouble occurred yester-
day.

Randolph streets thirteen cars; on Van
Buren, street ten cars, and on Madison
street twelve cars-thirty.fve cans rum
ming in all. -Four of the cars were driven
