CHICAGO, July 1O.-The machinery Of
the law is being put in motion in the

numbers of cases before them as the re
suit of recent disturbances. John j.
Hanrahan, vice grand master OF the
Fireman's brotherhood, was arrested
last night for conspiracy to interrupt in
terstate commerce and mail traffic by
inducing Belt line engine crew to quit
work. There is little doubt that Debe
will be arrested within twenty. four hours.

GENERAL MILES ORDER.
Acts of the Rioters Have Made the Duty
of the Military Palmer.

of the Military Palmer.
CHICAGO, July 1O-The following
order was issued by Gen. Miles yester
day afternoon:
To all United States troops, department
OF the Missouri:
The acts OF violence committed in the
last few days in stopping mail trains and
post roads, blocking interstate CON-
merce in open defiance and violation of
the injunction OF the United States
court, the assaults upon federal forces in
the lawful discharge of their duties, the
destruction, pillage and looting of inland
commerce, property belonging to citizens
OF different states and other acts Of re-
bellion and lawlessness, have been of
such serious nature that the duties of
the military authorities are more clearly
defined. The proclamation of the presi-
dent has defined the attitude of law
breakers to be enemies to the government,
and hence it is the duty of the military
forces to aid the United States marshals
to disperse, capture or destroy all bodies
Of men obstructing mail routes, and in
actual hostility to the laws of the Unit.
ed States. This does not change the re.
lation Of the federal officials with those
of the local authorities, as ii is expected
that state and municipal governments
will maintain peace and good order
within the territory Of their Jurisdiction.
Should they fall, or be overpowered, the
military forces will assist them, but not
to the extent Of leaving unprotected the
property belonging to or under the pro.
lection of the United States.

The Supreme Court Refuses to Grant New
Trials.
HELENA, July Especial to THE
TRIBUNE THE supreme court today
denied the motions for new trials for
Robert A. Anderson and John Osnes,
the condemned murderers, and both
men will be hanged on Friday, July 13-
the former at Livingston and the latter
at Fort Benton. The decision in the An
derson case is that the alleged newly
discovered evidence is insufficient for q
new trial. and that there was no mis-
conduct Of the jury. The court says:
Anderson had been convicted and SEN
fenced, Mortimer had pleaded guilty to
murder in the second degree. He was
awaiting sentence, and Anderson was
within few days Of execution. Then
Mortimer promulgated confession. 1t
looks much as il he concluded that he
had made bimself safe from a sentence
OF murder in the first degree and then
used one more effort to save his accom-
plice. Ii a new trial is to be granted on
such showing there is nothing to prevent
Mortimer from playing battledoor and
shuttlecock with the Anderson case for
all time" In the Osnes case the court
Gays: There is no complaint that the
evidence of the whole does not warrant
the verdict of the jury. The errors as
signed are purely technical and without
substantial merit" The supreme court
orders that in both cases the sentence of
the lower court be carried out on Friday
next, July l3, to which time both men
had been respited by the governor.

Trains on the Utah Northern Abandoned

left Ogden for Pocatello at 8 o'clock last

of the company to bring it into this city,
but after mature deliberation it was de

the present time. The line from Ogden
north will be opened up by degrees. A
train will reach Pocatello every day, but
in all probability it will be week or ten
days before the north end is opened up.
The train that left Ogden last night
was loaded with regular soldiers from
Fort Douglas. 1t is said that troops

THERE'S NO EvADING THE ISSUE
The Proclamation Practically Placed
Chicago Under Martial Law at
Noon Monday.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The following
proclamation was issued by President
Cleveland few minutes before 1:
o'clock last night:
Proclamation by the president of the
United States:
Whereas, BY reason Of unlawful OBJ
structions, combinations and assemblages
of persons, it has become impracticable
in the judgment Of the president, to en-
force, by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings, the laws OF the United
| States within the state OF Illinois and
the city Of Chicago within said state;
and
Whereas, For the purpose of enforc-
| ing the faithful execution of the laws OF
the United States and protecting it's
property and removing distractions to
the United States mails in the state and
city aforesaid, the president has en-
poyod part Of the military force of
the United States;
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president Of the United States, do here.
by admonish all good citizens and per-
sons who may be, or may come within
| the city and state aforesaid, against
aiding, countenancing, encouraging or
| taking part in such unlawful obsfruct-
ions, combinations and assemblages, and
hereby warn all persons engaged in,
or in any way connected with, such un.
lawful distractions, combinations and
assemblages, to disperse and retire
peaceably to their respective abodes on
or before 12 o'clock noon on the ninth
day Of July instant.
These who disregard this warning and
persist in taking part with the riotous
mob in forcibly resisting and obstructing
the execution OF the laws Of the United
States, or interfering with the functions
Of government or destroying or at.
tempting to destroy property belonging
TO the United States, or under its pro-
lection, can not be regarded otherwise
than as public enemies.
The troops employed against such ri
otous men shall act with all the moder-
alton and forbearance consistent with
the accomplishment Of the desired end,
but the necessities that confront them
will not with certainty permit discrimi-
nation between the guilty participants
and those who are mingled with them
from curiosity and without criminal in
tent. The only safe course, therefore,
for those not actually unla wfully par
ticipating, is to abide at their homes or
! at least not to be found in the ncighbor-
hood Of the riotous assemblages.
While there will be no hesitation or
vacllation in the decisive treatment of
the guilty, this warning is especially in
tended to protect and save the innocent.
In testimony whereof l hereunto set
my hand and cause the seal of the
United States to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington this
eighth day Of July, in the year Of our
Lord one thousand and eight hundred
and ninety-four, and Of the independence
hundred and eighteenth.
