French, of the executive committee, and
Mr.. Schonfaber, who were introduced
10 the president this afternoon by Senator
Kyle and who came bearing credentials
from the A. II. u, the Pullman employees
and several labor organizations.
After discussing the various features OF
the situation for more than an hour the
president promised that If the leaders
would return to Chicago and use their
influence towards restoring peace and
order he would appoint the commission
as soon as the disturbances had ceased
to such an extent as to render careful,
thoughtful investigation possible. The
president laid great emphasis on the fact
that no steps could bet AIKEN in this d.
rection until lawlessness had ceased, and
he made his promise contingent on the
pledge of the labor leaders to see to
it that so far as organized labor is con-
cerned the trouble at Chicago and else
where will Immediately disappear. There
is no disposition on the part of the sd-
miristration to weaken in the stand
which 1t has taken, but the president
fully realizes the gravity of the situation,
and, while he will not temporize with
the lawless element, he Is determined to
do all in his power to reach permanent
solution of labor questions.
A telegram was received by the presi-
dent last night from President Gompers
from the Federation of Labor asking
him to come to Chicago or send rep
resentative to consider with prominent
labor leaders concerning the situation.
No answer has as yet been made to the
invitation.
The usual consultation between the
president, Secretary Lamont, Attorney
General Olney and Gen. Schofeld was
held last night, but no new orders were
sent out. Gen. Schofeld said, after the
conference was held, that reports from
all the troops in the field except those in
California had been received and that
all reported quiet and order. Nothing
was heard from Gen, Ruger In California,
although word from him was eagerly
watched for. Gen. Schoield said that he
regarded the strike as practically settled
and that he did not anticipate any more
rioting or disorder.
st. Paul, July 13.-The Omaha yester-
day resumed all it's passenger trains on
the Northern division, and the Milwau-
kee will to-day restore it's III. & d. trains,
thus making service complete on all the
Chicago roads. Perishable freight and
live stock is still declined by one or two
roads, but otherwise freight service is
all right everywhere, except in the Twin
Cities and at the Minnesota transfer,
the Great Northern still declining to re-
ceiye except by wagons. The Northern
Pacific expects to resume it's usual serv-
ice of all kinds over the entire system
to-day 1t is said that every man on the
$500" road will strike to day, tying up
the system completely.
Ogden, July 13.-Late last night a
train left for the west on the Southern
Pacific bearing four companies of the
Sixteenth infantry under the command
of Col Poland. How far the train is ex-
rtcted to go is not known. Mail and
passenger trains will be sent out this
morning. 1t is believed that one COM
paAy of soldiers is to be stationed at
Truckee, one at Wadsworth, one at Reno
and one at Carlin until the present
trouble is settled.
Chicago, July 1.-THE Federation of
Labor has decided not to order general
strike OF all the trades affiliated with the
Federation. A resolution was adopted,
however, endorsing the A R. u. strike
and voting $1,000 for Debs' defense
The action of the Federation is consid-
cred serious blow to the A. R. U.
The general managers have returned
Mr.. Debs proposition without answer,
but with the information to the mayor
that no communication whatever from
the parties signing could be received or
considered by the association. This
means that the strike will be continued
until one side or the other surrenders I'm,
conditionally.
e Chicago, July 14.-At o o'clock presi-
dent Debs called a meeting of his direc-
tory at the Revere house, and for a half
hourhour the strike leaders were in close
conference. When the doors of the coun-
Gil chamber were unlocked Mr. Debs an
nounced calmly that he would officially
declare the strike off under certain con-
ditions. J. B. Sovereign said: ."The
papers to call the strike off were all
drawn up yesterday. They contained two
bitration, and, second, that all striking
employees except those charged with
crime should be taken back by the en-
ployers. have not seen Mr.. Debs this
morning, but as arbitration has been Sc
cured, and that is all we wanted, thus
q grsat victory has been obtained for
labor"
Debs went to the city hall and pre-
sented the proposition which he proposed
to present to the general managers to
Mayor Hopkins, and asked the mayor to
accompany him to the general managers
office. The mayor, Debs, Sovereign and
Howard then left for the office of the
general managers. Managers st. John
and Egan said that the general mana gers
had adjourned and no meeting would be
held until tomorrow. They intimated,
however, that Debs' proposition woul
be rejected.
st. Paul, July "A. All matters are
quiet locally, to-day. Passenger and
freight service on the Northern division
of the Omaha is restored, and t)-day's
tain out over the Northern Pacific will
i'm as far as Mandan. General Super
il tcndept Kimberly has notified General
Traffic Manager Hannaford that the
Minnesota and Dakota divisions are open
for the transportation of freight, and
circular in harmony with that will be
issued. On all other re ads the situation
is all right, and the fact that the strike
has not been declared off will not suit
much figure either way. The 500 trouble
is not affecting traffic General Manager
Underwood states that the strike will not
be general and he does not anticipate any
trouble.

occurred between strikers and a company
of regulars. AS far rs can be ascertained
