The Condition at Blu e Island.
i'1uS io1ohus ill.s uly .-iIttI uASF0uI-
full night the railroad strikers and deputized
officers of the law awoke to renew tho con-
test for supremacy on the Rock Island
tracks at this point. United States Marshal
Arnold has received no reply to his second
request for Federal soldiers addressed to
the attorney general last after the second
blockading of the main line. The fact is the
men under Marshal Arnold's are weak
kneed and half starved and many are at
heart in sympathy with strikers. The dis
satisfaction among them makes the strikers
defiant. The Rock Island company does not
intend to make another attempt to clear
the track and move trains if it can be
avoided without the protection of the
militia OF troops from Fort Sheridan. Gen.
Superintendent Dunlap saidihe was waiting
for instructions from Chicago and at 10
o'clock no move had been made by the
officials here.
