CHICAGO, July 6--When asked for
statement of the situation from the posi-

Miles said: IF the order Of Mayor
Hopkins is carried out there will
in my opinion, be no further
trouble 1t is a plain and unmis-
taxable order to the police to
suppress all rioting, disperse all mobs,
aud to stop the destruction of property
If the police do this, and I believe they
can, there will be no further trouble any

do you anticipate that this order will
be carried outs''
NMost certainly. I believe that not
only has Mayor Hopkins taken the right
step, but he Will be obeyed. and the Po-
lice will use all their power to quiet these
disturbances. We are certainly not doing
police duty for the city of Chicago and
unt1l the police fail we cannot be expec-
ted to disperse these mobs except when
we come IN contact with them in protec-
ting moving trains. Our action now de-
pends upon the roads and our troops are
here to protect them and when they are

1T REACHES CLEVELAND.
Complete Tieup OF nlI che Railroads. Hul
ming Iato That CITY


CLEVELAND, o., July 6.--Slowly but
surely the great railroad strike is sweep
ing eastward After an all nights ses-
sion Of the members Of the A r T. in
which every road running into the city
was represented it was decided at an
early hour this morning to tie up every
line centering in Cleveland By
o'clock the Big Four yards were report
ed dead with the exception of an occa-
sional passenger train.
The night men had quit and the day
men failed to appear for duty. like
Cleveland, Canton 4 Southern road
where work ceased at an early hour and
the yards were silent as the grave.
As soon as the long session of the A.
r L. came to an end, numerous commit
tees were started out in all directions to
notify the men in the numerous yards to
quit work. AT 8 o'clock the Lake Shore
men struck. Out of As yard crews and
engines, on that road in this city, only
one engine was working, and the men
said they had not yet been notified.
One or two passenger trains arrived
and departed during the early morning
hours, but as long freight trains were be-
ing constantly pulled into the yards and
deserted on the main track, it seemed
probable that blockade would soon re-
suit. The Cleveland and Pittsburg men
promptly stopped work when notified to
do SO by the committee, and at S:3O a. m.
only one crew out of thirty was at work.
The men who struck are exclusively
switchmen, aud passenger trains will
only be affected by freight blockades.
The engineers, fremen and trainmen
will not go on the strike, but the train
men say they will not even couple up
their own cabooses to trains that might
be made up. In other words they would
perform none of the duties Of the strik-
ing switchmen.
Assistant United States Attorney Brins
made the rounds early this morning. and
informed of the morning news he said:
Il have received instructions from the
attorney general of the United States
to file a bill praying for in
junction if it is absolutely necessary.
1 had hoped there would be no
occasion for any proceedings in the
United States court here, however it ap-
pears that measures have been adopted
by the A. r. U. during the night, in this
city, looking toward the prevention and
obstruction of the passage OF the United
States mails and that the interstate com
merce laws are being violated / shall
therefore file bill in the circuit court
here in obedience to my instructions
from the attorney general at once, or as
soon as the names OF the parties respOn-
sible can be learned"

Going Press
CHICAGO, July 6.-At 2:3O this after
noon passenger train on the Baltimore
& Ohio which had been held in South
Chicago all night was started for the
city under the guard of several deputy
marshals.
AT Forty third and Ash streets it was
met by a mob which got on train and at
the same time poured in vOlley after
volIey of stones. The trainmen and dep
uties at once returned the fire and for
three minutes u lively fusilade was kept
up.
Four Of the strikers were hit and were
carried off by their friends. None of the
trainmen we're hurt. and the train pro-
ceeded To the depot without further in-
terruption. 1t was reported later that at
least four strikers were killed in the
fight and several others injured.
A short time after the train had ar
rived at the depot the through train for
New York pulled out and was
compelled to stop at 39th street
by long line of blazing cars
which had been fired by the strikers.
Several cars had also been thrown across
the track and were set on fire. The
train was compelled to return to the
depot

oLNEY ON ALrGELD.
Says the Idea of State Rights Was settled
in the War.


WAsHINGToN, July 6=Attorney Gen
eral OInev was today questioned TO
his views of the Altgeld letter to the
president He said: 1T is hardly worth
while to discuss at length the false prem
ises and the illogical nOn-sequiturs of
the Altgeld manifesto. As campaign
platform it is a safe prediction that the
author viii be found to be the only per-
son to stand upon il. The soil of Illinois
is the soil Of the United States and for all
United States purposes the United States
is there with its courts. its marshals and
its troops. not by license or comfy, but
as Of right The paramount duty OF the
president of the United States is to see
that the laws of the United States are
faithfully executed and ip discharge of
that duty he is not hampered or crippled
by the necessity of consulting any chief
of police. mayor, OF even governor.
ssIn the present instance nothing has
been done and nothing ordered which
the most caDtious criticism can condemn
as any invasion Of state rights The
action of the national executive
has been simply and exclusively
directed to the enforcement of the United
States laws the execution of the orders
and the processes of United States courts
and the prevention Of any distractions
of the United States mails. The notion
that the territory Of any state is too sa-
cred to permit the exercise thereon by
the United States government of any of
it's legitimate functions. never had any
legal existence, and as a rule of conduct
became practically extinct with the close
of the civil war"
