THE 0EEERAL SITUATION.
To-night's action Of the city council
In respect to President Cleveland'S
order Of bringing federal troops to Chi.
cago,was fores.alled BY large number
OF endorsements Of his action sent him
by prominent business men OF the city.
The list OF signatures included those
OF almost every conspicuous merchant,
manufacturer and banker Of Chicago.
Touching the situation In general, II
may be said that in Chicago the roads
were oil doing better than on any pre-.
vious, day since the striko began. Pas.
senger trains wero moving with more
or less regularity aud some freight
traffic has been cared for. A large
number Of striking freight handlers Of
tho Illinois Central returned 70 work,
and other roads noted aceessions 10
their operative forces.
At ST. Louis, KAnsas City and Denver
It was reported that railroad business
had about returned TO normal condi-
tions. Nashville also reported an Inn
provemenL About the only points at
which tho strike managers showed any
gain wore In tho partial walk-outs OF
iremen at Fort Scott Kas., the freight
men on the Kanawua & Michigan at
Charleston, ". Va. and the strike OF
American Railway Union men on tho
Big Four at Mattoon. It will thus be
seen that at the leading railroad centres
tho strikers have made perceptible
losses, whilo their gains arc at com.
pnratively unimportant points.
Regulations which prevailed In tho
government building to-day was a near
approach TO martial law. Deputy mar:
shals were stationed on every floor, and
everybody was challenged who could
not show that he had business In the
building.
To-morrow'a sun rise will see In this
city 1000 more federal troops than
there we're this morning. These, with
the forces already In the field, 1t 10 be-
lieyed, will be able tomorrow to mako
a further settlement IN the conditions
in this city, and the mobilization OF
troops and marines at San Francisco
and OF regulars at other points on tho
Pacific coast, will suffice in all proba-
bilIty 10 start traffic on the transconti-
mental lines tomorrow. The sun shines
and the clouds seem 10 be scattering.
TRAINS RUNNING.
Reports from the various roads hav-
ing terminals in Chicago, aa issuOd by
the General Managers' Association to-
day, showed that passenger trains were
being received and sent out on nearly
all lines. A sufficient number OF freight
trains to care for the traffic offered
were run. All tracks were. however,
heavily patrolled by police and troops.
Upon the request OF Mayor Hopkins,
Governor Altgeld this afternoon or
dered out all tho remaining regiments
Of militia In tho state, ordering General
Barkley, commanding the Second
brigade, to proceed at once 10 Chicago
with all his brigades, excepting five
companies on duty at interior points
no MEETING HELD.
Intense excitement was caused to-
day in the stock yards district by the
mayors announcement that no labor
meetings would be permitted until
matters have quieted down. An i'm
mense meeting had been arranged Tor
tonight at Columbia hall, and at . ..
m. crowd had assembled.
A notice from Mayor Hopkins has
been posted on tho door, however, stat.
ING that in tho present state OF public
excitement 1t was not doomed advisable
to allow such meetings to be held. An
officer was stationed In front Of the hall,
who warned tho crowd away. Sim liar
notices had been posted on all other
halls in the district, and notwithstand.
ing there was considerable loud-mouthed
defiance, no attempt was made to hold
