EAST ST. LOUIS, NO., April 1.-THE day
has been one OF absolute quiet, General
Reece with his force, increased by the
seven additional companies which arrived
last night, has been able to systematically
cover every strategic point in tho 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 permsAted the city before the ar
rival Of the troops has very materially
leasened and 1t Is now believed that the
worst 10 over,
After making o tour over the city and
converting with all CLASSES Of residents
the impression Is conveyed that the
arrival OF the troops was believed from
the first to be the only and natural out
come as relief from the conisssed in
ability Of the civil authorities to enforce
order,
FUNERAL OF. fridays VICTIMS,
The funeral Of the three victims ol the
tragedy last Friday-Driscoll, Washington
and Bonsrda, occurred this morning from
st. Patrick's Roman Catholic church. A
mass was celebrated early In the fore
noon, and about $3.50 o'clock the funeral
column proceeded to the cemetery, The
hearses followed each other, followed in
turn by about fifteen carriages and other
conyeyanCes. On the sidewalk fanklng

OF Labor and other labor organizations,
wh6maFched In regular order; proceeding

BuCkmRy and Mrs. Pleiffer, two other VIC
Tins, occurred, the body Of the latter be-
ing taken to the city Of st. Louis for inter
ment.
Having received information that large
crowds OF people from st. Louis contem-
plated crossing to East st. Louis during
the day General ReeCe issued Q peremp-
tory order to prevent any one from CROSS
ing to this side Of the river, either
by the bridge or river ferries unless pro-
vided with passes Of the bridge company
or from the military. This was not 70 In
clude any through passengers on railway
trains. It was believed that this would
occasion no individual hardships and
might prevent the city from being over
run With irresponsible people not to be
desired in view Of the recent excitement.
TRAINS TO NovETo DAY.
None Of the roads centrlng here made
anv aerioua effort 10 move trains to-day,
This work will be actively entered upon
tomorrow when it is expected that
a fair test will be made OF
the inclination OF the men TO return TO
work when afforded protection. A deter
mined effort will be made TO re-
sume operations on the belt line road
which operates in connection with the
Virgins ferry, landing cars at North st.
Louis and at the warehouses along the river.
The stoppage Of this railway for the past
two weeks has more than anything else
created the existing freight blockade OF
this point. The engineers on this. system
claim to have been intimidated by the
strikers and the company thus "larA have
been unable to I'll their places. The
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati 4 In
Annapolis road sent out two large trains
to-day.
