Peace Under Arms.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Peace reigns In Warsaw. The same cannot be said of Chi cago, for the tread of armed men is still heard in her streets, and the wheels of commerce still lag at the bidding of the American Railway union
 Nevertheless the war cloud which has overhung this city and this land for the past 10 days shows distinct signs of lift ing. Instead of stories of additional rail roads tied up at various points through out the country the dispatches almost without exception bring advices of strik- CTS returning to work and an increased resumption of traffic amounting in some places to a return to normal conditions
 Monday in Chicago passed without a serious conflict between the rioters and the armed forces now on duty here. Tbe feature of the day was the action, after an all nigbt session of the federated trades unions of Chicago in deciding to call out all classes of labor this afternoon at f o'clock unless George M Pullman should have agreed before noon to settle the differences between his company and his striking employees by arbitration or otherwise.
 For reasons not known to the public General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor and his advisers subse- quently decided to postpone the general walkout and paralytic stroke which they proposed to infiiot upon the business of Chicago until o'clock Wednesday morn ing.
 What effect if any, the action of Vice President Wiekes of the Pullman com pany in refusing in the most positive man. ner to even meet a committee to consider the question of arbitration will have upon the final decision of the labor leaders and their followers remains to be seen.
 A joint committee of the city council and of the federal trades unions called on Mir. Wickes and asked him to consent to tho appointment of a committee of five citizens whose function should be not those of arbitration, but to determine whether or not the Pullman company has anything to arbitrate. The committee, as proposed, was to consist of two citizens chosen by the Pullman company, two by the circuit judges and one by these four. MT. Wickcs stated at the outset that ar bitration was Impossible, but listened while Alderman McGillen, chairman of the committee, talked of the gravity of the situation and urged that the company take steps looking to an amicable settle ment of the strike.
 At the close of the interview Mr. Wickes retired with his attorney, and returning after a brief consultation declared that posed committee.
 Alderman McGillen again argued that the company receive the committee, and

The Fight In California.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-The twelfth day of the great strike on the Southern Pacific closed with not a wheel turning in northern California At Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose and this point, the sit uation is unchanged. The Southern Pa ciflc managers are utterly helpless and ap- pear to make no effort to resume traffic. There Is an added excitement, however, caused by the news that United States marines from Mare island and regular troops have been ordered to Oakland to begin the fight that the Southern Pacific managers have so long been waiting for the government to make. Leaders of the strikers in Oakland say there will be no organized resistance to the troops, but they openly declare the strikers have resolved 10 conduct a guerrilla warfare Every one knows what this means, and many citi- .ens are fearful of future events Govern or Markham has been warned of the ap- preaching danger and Is hurrying froin Los Angeles to the state capital.

Big Four Bremen Out.

CINCINNATI. July lo.-At midnight aft CT a protracted meeting the firemen on the St Louis division of the Big Four railway, which extends from Cincinnati to St. Louis, went out on n strike. They arc members of the brotherhood, and they strike on orders from Local Chairman odell. This is not n sympathetic strike. Last year their wages were reduced 10 per cent. A month ago their mileage was, they allege, increased about 30 per cent This constitutes their grievance. It Is re. ported that the federation will order a general strike on this division of the road At present only the firemen arc concprned

 Last nights action of the city council in respect to President Cleveland's order bringing federal troops to Chicago was forestalled by large number of indorse- ments of his action sent him by promi- nent business men of the city.

The news of the killing spread with remarkable rapidity, and 10 minutes afterward the streets in the vicinity were filled with a threatening mob. Major Hartz left his company for a few moments to assist the firemen and doctors in placing Vaceter on the patrol wagon and was immediately surrounded by a crowd.
 ''Kin himli' 'Shoot him down!" were the cries of several excited men as the mob surged around the major. He, how ever, did not pay any attention to them and was not molested.
 Comparative quiet prevailed as a rule within the city, though. there were, as might have been expected, a number of sporadic instances where little knots of malcoutents gathered. became boisterous and were finally scattered by a charge from the police A number of small mobs formed, went rioting, firing and overturn- ing cars Heads were cracked, and small fry brawls, mostly the result of too much bad whisky, were frequently reported at police headquarters. There was, however, no concerted effort at incendiarism or vio- fence, although at a number of places in- divldual cars were fired, several of which were destroyed. A coal train on the East ern Illinois was ditched at Root street by a switch being misplaced after the engine and four cars had passed over.

GRADUALLY DISBANDING.
Continued DesertiOns From Kelly's
Army-Will Probably Not Reach
Washington Guarding the
National Treasury.

Adair, Iowa., April 27.-A hundred and
twenty members of the Sacramento regi.
ment deserted Kelly's army near this
place this morning. They will steal rides
on east bound freight trains. Kelly is
confident that they will rejoin the army
as soon as they become hungry. 1t is
raining, and the teams promised to trans
port the men failed to appear and there
is much grumbling in the ranks. The
march to Casey began under discourag-
ing prospects.
WILL PROTECT THE TREASURY.
Springfield, Mass.-Major Rexford has
shipped $50 guns from the armory in this
city to the chief of the ordnance bureau
at Washington. They are supposed to be
intended to protect the treasury from any
attack by the Co1eyites.
STOLE FREIGHT TRAIN.
Columbus, Ohio.-Calvin's detachment
of Coxey's Commonweal army got aboard
B. Il O. freight train, two miles out
from the court house, and road fifteen
miles to Mount Sterling where the train
was side-tracked by order of the company.
The men are still on the train and refuse
to get off. The sheriff says he will not
act until warrants have been issued
against the men as individuals.
CITIZEN TRAIN IN 1T.
Washington.-Citizen George Francis
Train arrived in this city last night, at
tracted by the nortoriety surrounding the
Coxey movement, and delivered lecture
without first securing license rs requir-
cd in the District of Columbia. This

the police officer marched him to the
police court to await his turn for trial.
IN A BAD FIX.
Casey, Iowa.-When Kelly's army reached
here and found no provisions provided by

Major Bemls, of Omaha, saying that the
army was hungry and was surrounded by
