inasmuch as through him comes all of
the information bearing upon the situa-
tion as reported from time 10 time by
the United States marsaals. and he had
pile of kilograms 10 read to his associ-
ates. Even while the cabinet was
in session messenger bows were
passing between the telegraph
offices and the White house. The sec-
retary of war laid before his associates
the plans of Gen. Schodeld. SO far as
they were perfected. for meeting any
emergency that might arise, and they
were approved. He also received the
instructions that had been given to Gen.
Miles prior to his departure for Chi
cago. 1t is understood that
GEN. MILES RETURN
to his headquarters was hastened by an
intimaticn from the department that his
presence in Chicago was desirable at
this iuncture.
The cabinet meeting ended about
o'clock, but within an hour Attorney
General Olney had further information
to communicate. That il must have
been of an important character was
shown by the fact that hasty calls went
out from the White house for the secre-
tary of war and Gen. SchOfield. The
latter was the first to respond, and
was soon in close consultation with the
president. 1t is not intended to allow
the troops to act at the whim of
deputy or marshal, who
might ''lOse his head" in the face
of danger, and, therefore, while
assisting In the discharge of judicial
processes. the troops will be kept
strictly under military command. in the
first instance, and secondly, under the
control of the president.
This is provided for by general order
issued little over month ago. in the
height of the Coxey disturbance. It
provides that whenever troops are en-
ployed to enforce the laws of the
United States by judicial process, they
must act as part of the
MILITARY POWER
of the United States land act under
orders of the president as commander
ln-chief, ana his military SubordinateS
They cannot be directed to act under
the orders of any civil officers. The
commanding officers of the troops SO
employed are directly responsible to
their military superiors Any unlaw-
ful or unauthorized act on their part
would not be eXcusable on the ground
of any order or request received by
them from a marshal or any other civil
officer"
From the above it can be seen how
carefully the army officers must pro-
ceed in action, and the necessity that
they are under of waiting orders from
the president before taking the field.
So far the troops have been called out
only in strict conformity with the
statutes, section 529S, which makes it
unlawful for the president to employ
them TO enforce the faithful execution
OF the laws of the United States where
ever they may be forcibly opposed
or their execution forcibly obstructed.
The federal government having decided
that the present attitude of the strikers
is in violation of the interstate COM
merce law, the president is warranted
in using the troops TO enforce that law,
as he would be in the case of any other
statute, although this is the first in
stance where recourse has been had to
that particular act guaranteeing unob.
structed commerce between the states.

MAY OR SMITHS REPLY.
/ ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 5, 1S94.-John
R. Hastings, Esq, General Superintend
| ent Chicago, Burlington Il Northern
,, Railway-Dear Sir: | am in receipt of
your communication of this date recit
ing the existence of violent interfer-
ence with the operation of your trains
Permit me to say in response that tbs
most careful inquiry fails to subStan-
tiate the statements made in that com.
munication.. All the information OBJ.
tainable by the police, OF the 9th o.
hand. indicates beyond reasonable
question that the locomotive drawing
the train referred to actually broke
down, was unable to do its work, and
was substituted by another engine iI
good condition, after which the train
reached its destination in the usua
order of things.
AT the points indicated the grade Is
an ascending one, and the locomotive.m
l am informed, failed to answer TO the
demands on it on account of the absence
OF the sand needful on all such points.
As the chief executive of this city am
naturally most anxious that your COM
pany, as well as all other common car
riers, shall have the fullest protection
against violence of whatever kind or
by whomsoever prac Iced conSiste nj
with the limited policing re-
sources at my disposal. The en-
tire extent of the police force OF
his city, which l am prohibited from
increasing, is 107 men, who are required
TO protect an area, populated through.
out and densely populated in large
part, of over fifty-hve square miles.
While you will probably find that you IN
formation is unfounded with reference
to the existence of violence or disorder,
or of serious threats of either, in the
vicinity of your lines within this city.
and especially as to the existence of
grease on your tracks, take pleasure
in assuring you that no effort will be
spared within the municipal resources
to prevent all illegal courses being pur-
sued against your property on the part
of those to whom you refer or othe rs.
would be much pleased to have a
personal interview on the subject of
the prevailing trouble at the earliest
time convenient to you. Very respect
fully yours, ROBERT A. SMITH.
Mayor.
This reply was sent by messenger to
the offices of the Burlington road, bul

DETROIT. Mich, July 3.-Up to the
present time the strike has developed
nothing startling, anu has been entirely
effective 50 far only OIL the Wabash.
Tie other roads entering the union sta
tlOn are the Canadian Pacific, the De-
troit. Lansing IL Northern. and the Flint
L Pere Marquette. AS the crews of tie
two car ferries of the Canadian road are
on strike, its passengers are sent
across to Windsor to take the trains.
The other two roads are making up
their trains with their own cr,ws and
proceeding with comparatively little
delay. At Delray suburb the strikers
have tied up all Wabash trains attempt
ing to pass. Forty deputy United States
marshals were sworn III late this after
noon and sent tn Delray to protect the
progress of mail trains. Two COM
'panies of regulars at Fort Wayne

PULLMAN TALKS,
He Thinks the Strike Will Not Be
LOnosLiVed

HOLLYWOOD. n. j., July 9.-George
NJ. Pullman arrived at his summer resi-
dence here tonight in company with
Gen. Horace Porter. Regarding the
strike he has little to say, as he declares
he is not receiving any special re
ports as TO its progress. He said his
company had done the best that could
be done with the men employed In the
shops at Pullman, and he thought the
men who worked at Pullman would
bear him out in his statement. For
months the business there has not paid
expenses. For some time the Pullman
company had been paying more to
build cars than they received for them
when they were built. IL was the first
time in the history of the village of
Pullman that there has been any
trouble over labor wages. He
trusted the men would soon see the
foolishness of their course and try to
reach an amicable agreement AS far
as the strike between the A. r. u. and
the roads was concerned, speaking of
the matter only as an observer, he
thought the men under Debs had taken
stand which was not tenable and
could not be maintained. His impress
sion was that the strike would Lot be
long-lived.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The Fifteenth regi-
ment. U. S. A. Col. r. E. Crofton COM

night by special train from Fort

long delay in securing stock cars for the

Guilty was met in persuading the en-

city limits, as he objected to hauling
troops into Chicogo. but the man
was finally prevailed upon to take
the train into the station. Dis

Violence.
CHICAGO. July 3.-President Debs, of
the American Railway union, was
called upon by representative of the
Associated Press this morning, and
asked his opinion of the effect which
the injunction process of the federal
court would have upon the boycott.
II have not yet been served with any
Injunction" said President Debs, "and
perhaps had better not cross the
bridge until | get to it. l want to say
distinctly that none Of our officers are
ranuing from any court process; we
are all here and can easily be found if
wanted. shall not deny that l have

papers give it. AS read 1t. 1t seeks TO
restrain the men from doing exactly
what we have always forbidden them
to- do, that is, interfering with
the movement Of trains, committing
acts of violence and violating the laws
OF the land generally. Railroad em-
pleyes have the unquest!oned right to
withdraw individually or in body from
the service of a company. but they have
no right to interfere with others who
niay be employed to take their places.
Their rights end where the conpany'S
rights begin, and if the company can
secure other employees to successfully
Operate its road, it has perfect
right to do so. We rely solely for our
success on our men holding out all to-
gether. supported as we are financially
aud otherwise, by all the labor organi-
cations of the country, we have no mis-
givings as TO what the outcome will be.
So far as law and order are concerned,
court injunctions are not required, since
the policy of our board of directors has
always been, is and will be to restrain
members from committing acts of dep
relation. ana those who disregard our
Instructions should be held individually
liable and punished accordingly"

T.PAUL.July 8. 1s94.-Hon. Robert A.
Smith. Mayor, t.Paul, Minn.-Dear Siri
desire. as general superintendent Of
the Chicago, Burlington & Northern
Railroad company. and, as such, iu
charge Of the operation of that railroad
company, to call your attention to the
fact that our passenger train known az
No. AZ, vestibule limited, running from
Chicago to Minneapolis, left ST. Paul
at 7:55 this morning, due to arrive in
Minneapolis at $50. This train was de.
layed and stopped while running over
the tracks of the Great Northern rail-
way, at point known as Westminster
street, also at point near Mississippi
street, and also at point near Como
avenue, by reason Of the fact that tho
track at these points had been CREASED
and so injured as to prevent the passage
OF the train, by persons unknown to
me. This train finally succeeded with
assistance in proceeding TO Minneapolis
at l1:l5 this morning. This injury and
delay was caused. as it is believed, by
railroad men now on strike. Similar
delays have been caused within the
past several days to other trains. Gu.
men OH our trains are threatened with
injury by mob Of men gathered along
the track, imperiling their safety, and
our property is in constant danger OF
destruction and injury from crowds OF
men congregated along the track.
These delays and injuries at the
points mentioned are liable 10 occur
constantly. unless proper protection is
given by tie public authorities. Ii
seems to me that it is the duty of th(
public authorities to place sufficient
number of pu icenen or other peace
officers to guard aud pro ect the
tracks and property of this company
from fu ther injury, and 1 therefore re.
quest that you see that sufficient pro

hands. sat languidly in their seats or
Sauntered about the chamber waiting
impatiently for the final moment to
come, while the swarming galleries
gaSped and painted for breath. As the
hands Of the clock drew toward the
hour of 10 the final speeches began.
Mr.. Allen, somewhat to the wonder
ment of the galleries. after his outbreak
earlier in tie evening. told the senate
why he had concluded to vote for the
bill. The most dramatic Incident OF
the night occurred when he took his
seat and

and in ringing, fervid tones entered an
eloquent protest against the "Populistic
income taX," and arraigned his party
associates for being false to their party
pledges and their country. Republt-

sledge-hammer blows. When, in con-

Aeasure. The Populists divided their
strength, two, Messrs. Kyle and Allen,
voting in favor of the bill, and two,
Messrs. PETER and Stewart, against it.
At the opening of the last day of the
great struggle Mr.. Harris, the veteran
parliamentarian i'll charge of the bill,
announced that it would pass today. the
3D. of July, or there would be no Fourth
of July for the senate of the United
States. Until evening there were no
sensational incidents. A hard but
fruitlesS fight was made by the Repub-
licans, under tie leadership of Mr..
Sherman, to place wool on the
dutiable list. Through the instru-
mentality of Mr.. McLaurin Dem,
Miss.) the action of tie committee
Of the whole in exempting the
salaries of the United States judges
and the president OF the United States
from the operation Of the income tax,
was reversed in the senate. A very
important piece of legislation in the
shape of
AN ANTITRUST LAW
was placed on the bill as rider with
Out even so much as division. 1t was
designed, as Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman of
the finance committee, said, to insure
'iItegrity i'll the execution of the law"
II being admitted that any tariff system
afforded abu ndant opportunity for the
formation of trusts and combinations.
The galleries were filled to overflow.
Ing, many prominent ladies and gentle
men being present to witness the final
disposal OF the bill, and the scene was
truly brilliant enc. Half a hundred
members of the house were on the floor.
1t was amid such surroundings that the
climax occurred, when Senator Allen,
the Nebraska Populist, smarting under
the sting of a double defeat. in thunder
Gus tones denounced the Democratic
members of the finance committee, and
charged them with bad faith in taking
advantage of his ignorance of par
liamentary procedure to induce him
to offer the amendments, thus re-
leasing their Democratic colleagues
under the caucus agreement from
NOlluS lOI ne UdTanRueQ the
senate and the galleries, and intimated
that he had been tricked. Mr.. Vest on
behalf of the committee hotly denied
the charges and upbraided MI Allen
for delivering his philippe while
piqued after his own defeat. MIR. Man
derson, Mr.. Aliens Republican col
league from Nebraska. seemed 10 enjoy
the plight of his associate, and with
AN IRONY THAT BURNED
and sarcasm that withered. he extended
his sympathy and warned HIM to be.
ware before he again allied himself
with the Democrats. He had found too
late that he Was HnhofSed.
Mr.. Jones, of ARKANSAS. also drove the
iron into the Nebraskan's soul. he
challenged the truth of his statements
and scored him numerically for at
tempting to place the committee in a
false light.

caused by this exchange of examinations
occurred the proceedings were ex-
tremely dull. Mr.. Powers made final

DAY IN DETAIL.

Mr.. Harris promised at the opening of
the senate session that final vote OH
the tariff bill should be reached during
the day if there were no tactious OBJ
structions. Mr.. Aldrlcn virtually pledged
Republicans to permit the bill to pro-
gress. The excepted amendments to
the paragraph on burlaps, etc.. and
collars and cuffs were quickly adopted.
Mr.. Sherman moved for the transfer Of
raw wool and hair of the camel and goat
10 the free list-lost, 80 81.
Two amendments offered by Mr.. Pef-
fer were rejected. The first was to
place wool OH the dutiable list under
the Mckinley classifcatious with the
existing rates reduced one-half. The
other was to put manufactures of WOOL
ems Oh the free list.
Mr.. Harris asked unanimous consent
that further debate on the wool sched-
ule be under the fye-minute rule, but
MIR. Power objected. Mr.. Power then
offered all amendment putti wool on
the dutiable list at the rate Of 25 per
cent ad valorem. Lost.
MIR. Faulkner asked that the commit
tee amendments on the wool schedule
as whole be agreed to, and it was
done, the silk schedule then being taken
up. The committee amendments to the
silk sche dule were adopted, and then
copying paper, filtering paper, tissue
paper, etc.. were raised from 80 to 35
per cent ad valorem. When bituminous
coal was reached Mr.. Hill renewed his
motion made before the committee of
the whole to place coal on the free list,
but the committee amendment placing
duty of 40 cents ton was agreed to
81 to g. Messrs. Kyle, Allen and Pef-
fer. Populists, aud Mills and Irby voted
with Mr.. Hill.
