Against Taking Part in Riots.
 CHICAGO, Oct 12-The comparative peace fulness of yesterdays proceedings in connec- tion with the street car strike was in marked contrast to the riotous demonstrations of the day before. Two causes operated to produce a cessation of hostilities. The police, who had hitherto been as gentle as possible in dealing with the crowds, received peremptory orders to repress all attempts at disorder and arrest all riotously disposed persons; while the leaders of the strike had enjoined their fol lowers to keep away from the scenes of possi
 ble disturbances or, if necessary, to aid the police in preserving order. The day did not pass without some minor disturbances, but there was at no time any approach to the
 wild scenes of Wednesday afternoon
 On the north side cars were run all day
 under police escort and with few attempts at
 obstruction, although on Sedgwick street
 the tracks were several times covered with
 piles of stone and other material, which oc-
 casoned considerable delay. Few passengers
 cared to run the gauntlet of a possible mob, however, and the police were almost the only passengers. No stones were thrown, and
 beyond the usual derisive yells, which were kept up all day, the imported drivers an,. conductors were not molested
 A small sensation was created about i
 
 Julius Katzenberg, a striking conductor, who was charged with placing dynamite bombs on the rails The ''bombs' turned out to b, ordinary railroad torpedo signals. The Sedg- wick street cars made their last trip about 4:3O o'clock, and the Garfield avenue cars went into the barns half an hour later. There was a speck of war on the west sidt about II o'clock when an omnibus containing a number of imported men was driven up tC the car barns 4 crowd of about GOO had gathered, and when the omnibus appeared 6 R general rush was made for it. Some stones were thrown, but the police, who were il strong force charged the mob and dispersed \ it without much difficulty. Eight of the \ ringleaders were arrested and the police usee R their clubs freely, but no one was seriously \ hurt.
 \ A lively time was expected when the at \ tempt was made to run cars over the Madison { street line at o'clock Almost half the city police force were on hand and every prep \ aration was made for a pitched battle. Tn ' very preparations, however, probably avertet \ the anticipated trouble, as two cars wer ' taken over the route without any attempt a \ obstruction. An occasional stone was throw \ from an alley way or the roof of building ' but no serious efforts were made to stop tn cars or attack the drivers. Hooting ant \ ieering followed the cars during the trip, bu \ the police chased the crowds whenever the became too demonstrative, aad there was n \ stubborn resistance offered at any point E The strikers claim that the company canno ' find men to run the cars and that the pubh \ will not patronize them if they do. Bot
 sides have withdrawn all propositions lookin
 toward settlement or the strike, and tn
 question now looks to be one of endurance.
