Gravestone to the President.
1t i. estimated that in this district men
toned not less than $1,000 rioters We're out
at one time and another during the day,
but the ground was so thoroughly patrolied
by the police, the marshats and the military
that they found little opportunity for get
ting together In large numbers. as they
have been doing heretofore. Still some Of
! them at the stock yards found time Tor
indulsins IN making a graveyard In due
order and erecting headstones at the
graves therein bearing the names OF their

Ex-Enp1Oyes Want n Conference
One feature Of the day the showing
OF ns teeth by the Building Trades Coun-
Gil OF the city in calling out the steam
filters in the big packing houses at the
stock yards with the threat that +. was
merely preliminary to calling out it's 2o,ooo
members and the tying up Of oil building
in the city.
Another feature was the patrolling of
sentries before the federal subtreasury, in
whose vaults lie some $50, 000o0o of Uncle
Sans money, which General Miles thought
might prove a temptation to some Of Debss
followers not to be resisted, especially in
view Of the fact that they not very
flush just now.
Signs of Improvement.
cir Wiz
there were several distinct notes OF i'm
provement in the situation, and these were
not confined to Chicaso. Here the postal
authorities reported a notable Improvement:
in the handling of the mails. Outside OF
Chicago it was noticed that the strike,
while it made no progress. worthy Of men
ton, gave many evidences of having
reached it's elimination and of failing infu-
ence. To begin with, the promise that the
seaboard trunk lines would be tied up at
Buffalo was not fulfilled. The strike WAS
extended to Pittsburs, as predicted and at
a number OF points in the tied-up territory
the strain was lightened. At one or two
points men who had agreed to go out failed
to do 50. But the most significant Of all,
perhaps, was the refusal OF the American
Railway Union men at Louisville, Colorado
Springs and Denver to obey Debs's order
to strike. Joliet also -eporced detection
In the ranks-the employees of the Ell gin,
Joliet and Eastern.
On the other hand the friends Of law and
order had occasion to be pleased on &C
count Of the nlassins of troops here and al
the ordering OF decided movement ef
troops by the president, with a view to
FITTING the embargo on the P.eAc coast
business, both by the northern and central
routes. To this end he ordered General
Merritt, at ST. Paul, and General Otis, ~
Vancouver barracks TO see to the opening
of the Northern Pacific line, while General
Ruser, at San Francisco, and General
Brooke, at Omaha, were similarly in
structed to set things to moving the
Central road, near the Northern Pacihc
system.
