CLEVELAND TO ALTGELD.
WAsHINGToN, July 6.-To Governor
Altgcld's second manifesto protesting
against the presence of Federal troops
in Chicago and requesting their with
drawal, President Cleveland sent the
following reply:
While am still persuaded that have
neither transcended my authority or duty
in the emergency that confFonts us, it
seems TO me that in this hotr of danger
and public distress discussion may we'll
give way to active effort on the part of all
in authority to restore obedience to law
and to protect life and properly.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
WHOLESALE INcENDIAkIsM.
CHICAGO, ILL, July 7.-Despite the
| presence of United States trbops and the
mobilization Of five regiments of State
militia, despite the threats of martial law
and bullet and bayonet, the great strike
| inatgurated by the American Railway
Union holds three-fourths Of the roads
running out of Chicago in its strong fet-
tiers, and last night traffic was more fully
paralyzed than at any time since the in
ception of the tie-up.
Comparatively few roads are running
out of the city, while freight traffic is COM
pletely paralyzed. Several of the western
and northwestern trunk lines are running
trans intermittently, while those running
east, southeast and. south are virtually
dead
For the "a hours ending this morning,
there were 62 fire alarm calls from burn.
ing railroad property, nearly all being on
the South Side. This Is remarkable
record according to Chief Sweenie. Several
times railroad shops were fired.
] Chief Sweenie said that last night it was
| a question whether the firemen on the
South Side hold out if such wholesale in
cendiarism continued.
To-day's incendiarsm began in brand
new quarter, the Chicago, Burlington g.
| Quincy switching yards at Crawford just
west of the Hawthorne Race Track. Fully
| q dozen freight cars in the yards were
burned this morning at daylight. The
! destruction of the cars was complete
| A reasonable estimate of the number of
armed men now on duty in this city is
about 1900, including 5000 militiamen,
| $500 policemen, l.200 regular army SOL
diers, and over 1,500 deputy sheritfs and
marshals, besides perhaps $500 private
watchmen and small army of detectives
| To-day at the stock yards brought no re-
ceipts of live stock and no prospect of
shipments. The paralysis of railways and
packing houses continued complete.
a MOB CAPTURES WRECK TRAIN.
About a. m. to-day a mob of 500
strikers captured a Baltimore & Ohio
wreck train at Fifty-ninth street. The
train crew fled.
ALARMED AT GATHERING MoBs.
Before 10 o'clock this morning the Off
cials of the Grand Trunk telephoned the
Nnu ,f
down their tracks in the direction of Their
shops at the crossing of the Pan Handle
tracks at Forty-ninth street. They ex-
pressed the belief that the mob intended
burning their shops. Chief of Police
Brennan ordered Inspector Hunt to the
scene with a force of men.
Half an hour later message came from
the Northern Pacific and Baltimore &
Ohio roads that mobs were gathering at
Forty-seventh and Fifty7nlnth streets,
where these companies have wreck trains.
Fear was expressed that the strikers in
tended burning these wrecking trains in
order to prevent the clearing of tracks.
Inspector Hunt was also notified to attend
to this trouble.
