he was greatly gratified at the quietness
into which Chicago settled during the day
and the general marked Improvement in

Arrangements TO relieve the condition of

plan, If effected, is to be in force until the
strike is declared off and better condi-
tion Of affairs exists in the State. About a
dozen special service routes have been or

of these are in California, Oregon and

Touching the situation in general. 1t may
be said that in Chicago the roads were all
doing better than on any previous day
since the strike began. Passenger trains
were moving with more or less regularity,
and some freight traffic has been cared
for. A large number Of striking freight
handlers of the Illinois Central returned
to work, and other roads noted accessions
to their operative forces.
AT st. Louis. Kansas City and Denver
it was reported that railroad business had
about returned to normal conditions.
Nashville also reported an improvement.

strike mai gers showed any gain were in

and the strike of the Big Four at Mattoon.
1t will be sean that at the leading railroad
centers the strikers have made perceptible
losses, while their gains are at compara-
lively unimportant points.
The regulations which prevailed in the
Government building to-day were a near
approach to martial law. Deputy mar

WASHINGTON, July 9.-About II o'clock
word came from General Miles that every
thing was quiet at Chicago and nothing
more would come from bim tonight. Com
menting upon .he proclamations issued
by the President, General ScLofield said
that they did not in any way affect the au-
thority of State or Federal officers, but
were merely in the nature of warnings to
the people, General Schofield said he did
not believe a published interview with
General Miles, in which he is credited
with saying tue proclamation simply
amounted to martial law.

say that labor in this city will strike out of

say they are liable to, which amounts TO
about the same thing. In the event of the

the trouble continues FIVE days longer all
the Eas tern roads will be tied up. All the

DETROIT, Mich, July 9.-Mayor Pingree
to-day wired inquiries to fifty mayors Of
Michigan cities and principal cities of the
country, asking their opinions as to the

Federated Trades in Chicago will not pre-
cipitate action before consulting him. AS
at present Gompers cannot reach Chicago
before Wednesday night, it will be impos-
sble to decide on line Of action to be
pursued before Thursday, and prob badly If
it should finally be resolved to declare a
general strike of all these combined
forces. it could not be put into effect be-
fore Friday morning.
In this connection the interesting Ques-
tioa arises whether. if President Gompers
allows himself to be hauled from New
York to Chicago by non-union engineers
and fremep. his visit will be of any par
ticular profit. One labor leader in Chicago
said tonight that if he did so, he might as
we'll stay in New York.
Another feature to be noted in connec-
tion with the meeting of the Chicago Fed
Grated Labor is the fact which was de-
veoped that there was in the meeting a
large and influential conservative element
whose action has practically blocked the
plans of the more h0t-headed leaders until
the latter. in the excitement consequent
upon the reading of President Clevelend's S
proclamation, were enabled to stampede
them and carry the strike resolution.
Therefore there is reason to believe that,

WITHOUT SERIOUS CONFLICT.
On the Whole the Day in Chicago
Passed Quietly

-
CHICAGO, July 9-Peace reigns in War
sawi The same cannot be said of Chicago,
for the tread of armed men is still heard
in her streets and the wheels of commerce
still lag at the bid of the A. r. u. Never
theless, the war cloud which has overhung
this city and the land for the past ten days
shows distinct signs Of lifting. Instead of
stories of additional railroads tied up at
various points throughout the country, to-
days dispatches almost without exception
bring advices of strikers returning to
work aud an Increased resumption of
traffic. amounting in some places to re-
turn to normal conditions.
The day in Chicago has passed without
q serious conflict between the strikers and
the armed forces now on duty here. The
feature Of the day has been the action
early this morning, after an all-night ses-
sion of the Federated Trades Union of
Chicago in deciiing to call out all classes
of labor Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
unless George M. Pullman should have
agreed before the meridian of that day 10
settle the differences between his company
and his striking employees by arbitration
or otherwise.
For reasons not known to the public,
Grand Master Workman Sovereign OF the
Knights OF Labor and his advisers decided
to postpone the general walk-out and par
alytic stroke which they propose to intiict
upon the business OF Chicago until 7
o'clock Wednesday morning. The an
nouncement was made that President
Samuel Gompers of tho Federation of
Labor has called meeting of the execu-
tive board of that association to be held in
this city on Thursday, and that he would
leave New York for Chicago tomorrow
evening. In view of this IL Is believed the

forth, many of those to whom it is di-
rected will decline to obey it, so that with
the men already made idle by the effect of
the tie-up the walkout would not be nearly
so important as anticipated by the leaders.
What effect, if any, the action of Vice
President Wickes of the Pullman Com
pany in refusing in the most positive man
ner to even meet committee to consider
the question of arbitration will have upon
the final decision of the labor leaders and
their followers remains to be seen.
To-nights action of the City Council in
respect to President Cleveland's order
bringing Federal troops to Chicago was
forestalled by large number of indorse-
ments by prominent men of the city. The

A Flimsy Scheme.

Some of the opponents of the free
coinage of silver are making bolster
GUS effort to show that the govern
ment is now coming silver dollars at
the rate of S1,0OO,0C0 month and will
continue to do so. Talk about free
coinage!" they cry, "why look what
Secretary Carlisle is doing! He is
coming silver dollars at the rate of
Sl,OOO,OOO month, and will keep il
up until the circulation is largely in
creased!" There is hardly glimmer
of truth in the statement. Up to a
few weeks ago, only 400 silver dollars
had been coined during the present
calendar year, and the whole scheme
of coinage that is now going on, and
in regard to which a noisy effort is
being made to deceive the people, is
a trick to avoid the damaging effects
of the treasury policy which makes
silver notes redeemable in gold at the
option of the holder. The simple
truth is that the coinage of silver that
Is now going on will not add a dollar
to the circulation. The dollars are
coined for the redemption of silver
notes that will be withdrawn from
circulation when they are redeemed.
In this way, Mr.. Carlisle hopes to cut
down the amount of silver rotes
available for draining gold out of the
treasury.-Atlanta Constitution.

Those Metal Boxes.

The taxpayers, who watch the bills
allowed by the County Commission
ers each month, have no doubt no.
ticed those in the name of the Spe-
cialty Manufacturing Company for
metal boxes for the vault of the Coun-
ty Clerks office.
In June there was allowed $3.50:
July, $3.50; and August, s315, making
total of 81 ,125 paid from the county
funds for these boxes. Whether this
total includes freight or not, we do
not know. If it does not, the County
Treasury must be further dragged to
pay for something not demanded by
anybody outside of the County Com
issioners and their Clerk.
The next Grand Jury should inves-
tigata this useless waste of county
funds. 1t should also insist upon
the Commissioners enforcing the
statutes relating to the letting of con
tracts where the amount involved is
$500 or over. 1t should insist upon
the same rule being applied to metal
boxes that involve an expenditure of
slips, and to all other contracts, that
the present Board applies to con-
tracts for furnishing ice to the county
buildings, where the outlay is only
$40 per month.
