| EAsr ST. LOUIS, April 12.-The presence
| OF militia in the city continues to have tht
! desired effect and no disturbance has beer
| reported since the incendiary fires OF Friday
| night, and it is now believed no encounter
between the militia and the strikers will oc
cur. The same strict guard, however, ovei
RAILROAD property is observed this morning
and the vigilance OF the sentries has in nc
way1been relaxed. Transfer wagons heav'
lily loaded are crossing over the river and
ON neither side OF the bridge are the drivers
approached by intimidating strikers. The
promise of military protection to those
who might desire to 60 to work to-day has
resulted in the employment of a large num-
her of applicants. The platforms of the
various freight depots are busy with men
actively engaged in loading and unloading
cars and no attempt at interference by the
strikers has occurred.
- MINERS WILL STAY OUT.
The miners of St. Louis District who
struck last week held a meeting yesterday
and remain firm together and will not re-
Knights is ended. Very little coal is on
hand in this district, and it is expected the
total cutting off OF the supply will affect
seriously the manufacturing interests of the
city and vicinity. Four hundred and fifty
cOal miners on the Illinois q St. Louis rail-
road have struck, and it is expected more
will strike about Bellevil}e to-day to assist
the Knights in their struggle.
