TROOPS ORDERED TO CHICAGO.
Result of Cabinet $685. Over the
Strike situation.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Cabinet
session began ut IL O'Clock to-day. Sec
retary Morton, Secretary Smith and Sec
retary Carlisle were absent. The great
strike was the topic of discussion, and
every phase of the situation was care
fully canvassed. Attorney General Olney
was the leading spirit, inasmuch as
through him comes all of the information
bearing upon the situation as reported
from time to time by the United States
Marshals. He had pile of kilograms to
read to his associates. Even while the
Cabinet was in session messenger boys
were passing between the telegraph Of
flee and the White House.
The Secretary OF War laid before his
associates the plans of General Schotield,
SO far as they were perfected, for meeting
any emergency that might arise, and they
were approved. He also read the instruc-
tions that had been given to General Miles
prior to his departure for Chicago. 1t is
understood that General Miles return to
his Headquarters was an intimatlOn from
headquarters that his presence at Chicago
was desirable at this juncture.
The Cabinet meeting ended about 2
O'Clock, but within an hour General
Olney had further information to commu-
nicate. That it must have been of an i'm
portant character was shown by the fact
that hasty calls went out from the White
House for the Secretary eff War aud Cen
eral Schoiield. The latter was the first to
respond, and was soon in close consulta-
ton with the President. 1t is not in
tended to allow the troops TO act at the
whim of a deputy or q Marshal who
might lose his head in the face of danger,
ana therefore while assisting the dis
charge OF judicial processes, the troops
will be kept strictly under military COM
mand in the first instance, and secondly
under the control OF the President. This
is provided for by general order issued
a little over month ago In the hight of
the Coxey disturbance. 1t provides that
whenever the troops are employed to en-
force the execution of the laws of the
United States by Judicial process they
must act as part OF the military power
OF the United states, and .act under or
ders of the President as COMMANDMENTS
Chief and his military subordinates. The
commanding officers of the troops em-
ployed are directly responsible to the
military superiors. Any unlawful or un-
authorized act on their part will not be
excusaple on the ground of an order or
request received by them from Mar
shai or other civil officer.'
From the above il can be seen how
carefully the army officers must pro-
ceed in acting, and the necessity that they
are under waiting orders from the Presi-
dent before taking the field. So far the
troops have been called out in strict con-
lOFlllty VIII LIE statutes pTONlUou III
Section 5SS, which makes it lawful for
the President to employ them to enforce
the faithful execution of the laws of the
United States wherever they may be
forcibly opposed or the execution
forcibly obstructed.
The Federal Government has decided
that the present attitude OF the strikers is
in violation of the interstate commerce
law, and the President is warranted in
using the troops to enforce the law as
he would be in case of any other statute,
although this is the first instance where
recourse has been had to this particular
