 ST. LOUIS, April 13.-The railroads cen tering in East St. Louis made some progress in resuming traffic to-day. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy has all its old men at work again. The other roads find it diff cult to secure new men and the old ones are slow in returning. The strikers remain pas sive. The military are still the ground, but how long they will remain is a matter of uncertainty. Their officers keep Governor Oglesby posted by telegraph of the condition of affairs and it is thought that by to-mor- row the Governor will definitely determine the length of the militia's stay Colonel Smith, commanding the levee force, said both the new men who would be willing to go to work and such of the strikers who desert their ranks to go back are afraid to do so; not that protection is insufficient, but because they fear withdrawal of the militia, in which case they would have cause to regret their return. He thought the troops should be increased and kept on the grounds or return now.
 Coroner Woods resumed the inquest this
 morning on the victims of Fridays shooting. A number of witnesses were examined. The inquest was concluded this evening and a verdict returned that the deceased persons met their death at the hands of the deputy sherifs now in jail at St. Louis and holding them responsible therefor. It is probable that requisition will now be issued by the Governor. This morning Coroner Neidet began the inquest on c. H. Thomp- son, the man killed on the bridge on Friday by the deputy sheriffs while they were retreating to St. Louis. The nine deputies were taken out of jail and sworn over the body at the morgue, evincing no emotion at the sight of the dead body. Several witnesses were examined, in cluding Mayor Joyce, and the inquest closed with verdict that the shooting was unjusti- fable and holding the deputy sheriffs re- sponsible.
 A citizens and business mems meeting was held this evening for the purpose of ex- pressing the sentiment of the public upon the situation now existing because of the strike and to suggest means of reach ing settlement of the matter a series of resolutions were offered by MT. Chauncey I. Filley and adopted. After an 04QduSIlN0 dlSCuSSlOu duu T0VIoW OI lu0 questions at issue, the expression of the bill that spirit of concession and mutual forbearance should now take the place of the antagonism and intolerance heretofore shown, the earnest desire is evinced to find all honorable and fair adjustment and settle ment The resolutions provide for the formation of the committee of nine citizens of St. Louis, three from the resident directors of the railways in interest; from the resident labor interests present or recent employees to be selected by the men in interest, and three discreet and recognized mercantile, manufacturing aud professional elements of the city in no wise connected with or interested with the railway or labor interests who shall be authorized by their respective interests to meet, con fer and arrange with binding effect the existing trouble.
