KEPT OVER PROPERTY.
East st. Louis, April 1.-THE pres
ence of the militia III this city continues
to have the desired effect and no dis
turbance or unlawful nets have been re-
ported since the incendiary fires of Fri
day night and it Is now believed no
encounter between the military and the
strikers will occur. The same strict
guard over railroad property is observed
this morning and the vigilance OF the
sentries has not been relaxed. The
time for which the order was extended
requiring those who wished to go over
the bridge into East st. Louis to supply
themselves with passes lapsed at. mid
night last night and the bridge this
morning presents an animated appear
ance, pedestrians passing and repassing
without interference and transfer
wagons heavily laden are crossing over.
On neither side of the bridge are the
drivers approached by intimidating
strikers attempting to persuade them to
again stop work.
THE PROMISE OF n MILITARY.
of protection of those who might desire
to go to work to-day resulted in the en-
ployment of a number of applicants,
most of whom are not knights of labor,
but those employed to fill the vacancies
caused by the strike of the latter and
who left their places last Friday after
the fatal shooting by the deputies.
The platforms of the various freight
depots are busy with men actively en-
gagged in loading and unloading cars
and no attempt at interference by the
strikers occurred, nor is any ant iclpated.
No freight trains had left this city up
to $50 but in several yards trains are
now in process of construction and at
tempts to start them out will be made,
it is expected, some time during the
morning.

} solved to remain firmly together and moi
