Reigns In the Strike District OF
Fast ST. Louis.
THE WORST THOUGHT TO Be OVER.
The Troops Exert Quieting Inauenes..-
Soldiers PatrOlling the
City.

EAST Sr. Louis, Ills, April 1.-THE
day has been one Of absolute quiet. Gen.
eral Reece, With his farca inn---.-i ~ -.
seven additional companies, which arrived
last night, has been able to systematically
cover every s,rsgetic point in the city and
any fear which may have been felt from
the torch Of the incendiary has almost
ceased. As Q matter Of fact The
alarm which permeated the city before Tie
arrival Of the troops has very materially
lessened, and i. is now believed that The
worst is over. Many Of the re,ident work
ingmen, although classsd among tho
strikers, express satisfaction at the fact
that the troops are in their midst. Tho
soldiers have not yet been compelled to do
anything, and unless the present quiet
bellies the actual condition affairs the com.
msnding officer expresses the belief that NO
actual demonstration will be required from
the troops beyond that OF their presents
until the existing difficulties have ended.
