TO GALL OUT THE KNIGHTS.
SOVEREIGN ORDERS A Ma
TIONAL WALK-OUT.
one MILLION HEN WILL BE AFFECTED
Debs Hard at Work to Bring Out the
Trades Unions of the Countrywide
Plan Is to Call Out the Chicago
Unions First and Then Pro-
coed Until Pullman Sub
mits to Arbitration.

CHICAGO, July IL. At o'clock
to-day General Master Workman
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor
was engaged in writing an official
order which will call out tomorrow
every member of the knights of
Labor in the United States
''The present industrial crisis, - said
Sovereign, demands drastic meas
ures. All true Iaboring men must
rally to the standard of union labor.
This action on the part of our organiza-
ton has not been taken without care
full consideration and we are ready to
abide by the result. This order will
affect about LOCO, 900 men. There are
thousands of workingmen in the
country who have been mem bers of
our organization, but who are not now
actively identified with it. l am con-
fdent that such men will rally to our
standard at this time. just at what
hour this order will go into effect to-
morrow I cannot say, as the sending
out of it may be delayed until to-mor-
row morning. But it will go into
effect some time tomorrow unless
something now unforeseen arises"
Debs said to-day that the Industries
OF Chicago would be completely tied
up by tomorrow morning. ''This
trouble" he went on, "has gone be-
yond my control completely and be-
yond the control of the Railway union.
It is possible that the committee that
seeks to settle the trouble by arbitra-
ton may be able to do something be-
fore night but I am very much in
doubt about it. 1t certainly
looks as if gigantic strike were
sure to come. So far as the cause of
the American Railway union is con-
cerned things look brighter to-day
than ever. The strike is on and there
is now no violence. That is what we
have most to fear-the depredations
of mobs who are really not connected
with our trouble. With so many COM
panies of militia, here, though, there
will not be much violence. The
greater strike is practically sure to
come now, but I hope it will come
peaceably and quietly"
The plan of the leaders for to-
morrow is to call out first all organic
ed labor in Chicago and then to pro-
ceed from town to town until the
entire country is paralyzed or Pull
man gives in. The immediate effect
on Chicago, if all the trades obey the
order to strike, will be to throw from
$4,000 to 100000 persons out of en-
ployment.

molestation until Westville was
reached. When it stopped there it
was surrounded by crowd Of miners
and held.
Word was telegraphed to Danville
and a special train with company of
the state troops started at once for
the scene of the trouble. About one
mile from Westville large crowd of
miners had collected and upon the ap-
proach of the train bearing the
militia began warlike demonstrations.
Several pistol shots were fired at the
soldiers. who returned the fire, shoot
ing over the heads of the mob from the
train, intending to scare them. Miss
Clara James, the 17-year-old daughter
of Jonas James, was standing in the
doorway of her home.
A bullet struck her just below the
right breast and she died almost in
stantly. Mrs. Michael Glennan,
widow, standing in her own yard, was
also struck and died in five minutes.
An unknown man received mortal
wound and will die.

the crowd and dispersed it after firing
several shots. No one was hurt so far

GENERAL MILES, ORDER.
To All Troops Serving In the Depart

To All Troops Serving In the Depart
nent of the Missouri.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE following
order has been issued by General
Miles:
To all United States troops serving in the
department of the Missouri:
The acts of violence committed during the
past few days in the stopping OF mail trains
and post roads. the blocking of the inter
state commerce, the open defiance and
violation of the Injunction of the United
States court, the assaults upon the Federal
forces in the lawful discharge of their duties,
the destruction. pillage and looting of the
inland commerce property belonging to
citizens of the different states and other acts
of rebellion and lawlessness have been OF
such serious character that the duties of
the military authorities are more clearly de-
fined
The proclamation of the president, the com.
mander-in- chief of the land and naval forces
and the state militia, when called into ser
vice, is underSto by the military to be in
the interest of humYhity and to avoid the use
less waste of life if possible 1t is an execu-
rate themselves from the law breakers and
those in actual hostility to the action Of the
United States court and the laws of the ma
tionaI government. He has defined the attf-
tude of the aW-breakers to be enemies Of the
government and hence 1t Is the duty OF the
shals to dispense, capture or destroy all
bodies of men obstructing the mail routes, and
in actual hostility to the Injunction of the
United States court and the laws of the
United States
This does not change the relation of the fed
era1 oficials with those of the local authori-
ties 1t is expected that the state and
municipal government will maintain peace
and good order within the territory OF their
Jurisdiction. Should they fail or be over
powered, the military forces will assist them,
but not to the extent of leaving unprotected
property belonging TO or under the protection
of the United States
The ofncer in the immediate command of
troops must be the judge IS to what use to
make of the forces at his command in exc
cutting his orders and he will communicate
with lis next superior for his ms tructions.
The earnest efforts of the laW-abiding citi-
zens have done much to improve the condition
OF affairs during the last few days, and
earnestly request all the law-abidinR citizens
to do whatever possible to assist in maintain
ing the civil government and the authority OF
the municipal, state and federal governments
in reservinR peace and good order.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July lin talk
ing of the strike situation the gov
ernor said: ''The state has six regi-
ments of infantry, two troops of cav
airy and two battalions of artillery
with Calling guns in Chicago. In
addition to that there are
great many hundred deputies
summoned by Sheriff Gilbert
whom the state assisted in arming
early in the strike. Besides these
forces and besides the regular police
men of Chicago there are several
Thousand extra policemen who were
put on duty early in the strike. The
forces, state and local, have the situa-
ton thoroughly in hand, and if there
is no extension of the strike into
other trades the trouble will be all
over in a few days. Should the
strike extend among other trades
it will take week or so
longer. We have been furnishing the
railroads prompt assistance in the way
of protection all over the state when
ever and wherever called on and
during the past week have had troops
at six different points outside of Chi
cago and during the last four or five
days there has been very 1ittlo diff
ficultv over the, state. Nearly all the
roads that can get men to operate
their trains have been running all
their regular trains-passenger and

President Benjamin Harrison, having

the president has transcribed
his power. On the other hand
believe that there is no spot
in the United States where the United
States troops may not go under such
orders without asking anybody's con-
sent and the enforcement of the
laws of the United States is the
sworn duty of the president and the
army an appropriate instrument to
use in the enforcement of those laws
where they are violently resisted and
the civil officers are unable to deal
with the situation. If the posse COM
itatus law limits the presidents con-
stitutiona1 power at all-which is
very doubtful-it only requires the
proclamation to precede the use of
the troops

1t IL Posted In All the Railroad Yards
in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 1O.-The impression
was general about military headquar-
ters to-day that the proclamation of
the president to say nothing of the
firing of the troops Saturday and yes
terday, had had a telling effect upon
the riotous element as well as on
the sensible people who had stayed
away from the localities where trou-
BILE was likely to occur. No serious
reports of violence or mobs congrega-
ting were received at General Miles
Office, and this was taken as an indi-
cation that the situation was gener-
ally quieter.
Copies of the proclamation were
printed this morning and posted on
the railroad tracks and in all sections
of the city. The presidents action,
it is said, is based on the fact that
the we'll being of all the states is
menaccd by the instruction in Chi
cago. Lines of transportation are in
terrupted, the mails cannot be carried
and supplies of food are cut off. The
entire country is disorganized. In
the riots of 1877 President Hayes is
sued proclamation covering Penn
sylvania. It was not couched in
terms so severe as the present one,
but its effect was immediate.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE crisis
at Sacramento will soon be reached,
for United States troops left for that
city early this morning. They were
armed and equipped as if they were
going out for Irregular campaign. The
purpose is to move trains at all haz-
ards. Some of the strikers have
deadly weapons and an intention to
use them, if necessary to prevent
their plans from being overcome, has
been discussed. If resistance is ofs
feTed to the United States soldiers the
probability that there will be blood
shed at Sacramento is great, for the
regulars will undoubtedly obey
orders. There are six foot batteries
and two Gatling guns, and each man
has 200 rounds of ammunition.
At Oakland the strikers are in full
control. They say they will not res
sist the troops openly, but will con.
duct a guerrilla warfare.
