CHICAGO, June 10.-Everything was
quiet in the quarries and along the
drainage canal in the neighborhood of
Lemont today. George Kiskive was
added to the list of those killed in yes
terday's riot. He died this morning.
Another body was found today, but the
name of the victim is unknown, though
it is said he was one of the strike
leaders. Later another unknown body
was found, riddled with bullets. It Is
now believed that from three to five
dead bodies are in the canal. A. least
dozen seem to have plunged into the
water after the fret volley, and the
number who succeeded in swimming
out is unknown and it is said several
failed to rise. The canal ia being
dragged for bodies. John Klug, one of
the wounded, is expected to die any
moment.
John Peterson, shot in the groin, will
also die, and John Fronogotruski will
have his left leg amputated as the re-
suit of wound in the thigh. The list
of dead will probably be increased more
than half a dozen from the fatally
wounded.
Before the coroner's jury this after
noon George Hettinger testified that
none OF the strikers were armed and that
the firing was done by the contractors
men only.
This afternoon three companies of in
fantry debarked at Romeo, near Lee
mont. Later they were reinforced by
another company from Elgin, and by 10
O'Clock tonight Colonel Bennetts had
under command Ii companies, aggregat-
ing 400 men. No soldiers ever had an
easier task than that laid out for this
force in guarding portion of the canal
in Will county. There was no disturb
ance and nothing to guard but stone
heaps.
The Second infantry of Chicago also
arrived at the scene during the alter
noon. The troops passed miserable
! night in the rain and cold, but tomorrow
viii nave tents and other comforts.
Governor Altgeld arrived about the
same time as the military, and inmedi-
ately visited the scene of last nights
battle.
Governor Altgeld called conference
of the strikers and contractors. Consid-
erable testimony was adduced regarding
yesterdays occurrences. After consid-
ering the testimony he gaye out state
ment that in his opinion, so far as the
investigation had gone, the shooting of
the strikers by the drainage men was
unprovoked and uncalled for.

and the clerks who work there assert it
is none too safe.
The Busch building, which forms an
annex OF the postoffice department, is
another OF these structoree about which
cings an unsavory reputation for safety
and substantiability.
The patent Office, massive stone
structure, is not exempt from the gem
eral criticism.
The building in which the office OF the
sixth auditor Of the treasurer is located,
though new one, is so heavily weight
ed with public documents and other
material that the floors have sunk from
two to three inches already, and the
clerks are in constant fear.
There is no more dangerous trap in
the city than the patched-up govern
ment printing Office. which has been
from time to time strengthened by
wooden and iron supports. On the va
rious floors are stored tons OF metal,
printing materials, and millions OF
copies of bound books, to say nothing OF
5000 employees who swarm within the

The directors of the chamber OF COM
merce and the board Of trade held q
special joint meeting at the chamber Of
commerce hall yesterday morning for
the purpose of taking action against the
removal of the army hsadq quarters from
this city.

eided and Mr.. G. T. Willard of the
chamber acted as secretary.
Mr.. Howell stated the purpose of the
meeting bet added that nothing could
be done in that respect as the removal
had already been ordered.
Senator White was present and said:
81 don't think it possible to do anything.
1t seems that the war department has
for long time contemplated this
change. The army people believe the
removal should be made, and the tele-
gram announces that the change has al
ready been accomplished. They are try
ing to locate headquarters as centrally
aH possible, and don't believe we can
effect anything by taking action"
a general discussion then ensued
during which one gentleman estimated
the Disbursements in this city for army
supplies at 81, ,500,0 900.
1t was finally decided that the presi-
dents of each organization prepare and
send letters to the secretary of war re-
questing that Distributing agency for
this part of California and adjacent por-
tions of Arizona be retained in Los
Angeles.
A report of the proceedings will be
