 WASHINGTON, July 10.-The president last evening followed up his proclama- ton of Sunday night by issuing an other of the same tenor, but more gen. eral in it's application. The proclama- tion is as follows:
 By the president of the United States of America:

 Signed. GROVER CLEVELAND.
 By the President: W. c. GRESHAM,
 Secretary of State.
 The decision to issue such procla nation was made yesterday morning, and part of the day was given up to ar ranging it's terms. Last night Secre tary Lamont, AttorneyGencral Olney, Postmaster-General Bissell and Maj Gen. Schofeld, met the president at the White House and expressed satis- faction with the scope of the mani festo which they had share in per fecting. The conference last night was devoted largely to discussion of the new phase of the situation conse- quent upon the failure of the arbitra- tion negotiations and the decision of the trades unions to join the American Railway union in it's strike.
 The president yesterday received an other certification from the governor of Idaho respecting the necessity for federal troops to maintain order in that state. This was supplemented by semi-official dispatches to the Idaho senators from Judge Beatty, the United States judge for the district of Idaho, and from other persons in the state, requesting to urge upon the president the need of troops in the C9ur dAlene region.
 Senators Shoup and Dubois took these dispatches to the White House last night and had talk with the sec retary of war and Maj. Gen. Schofield on the subject.
 It seems that Gov. McConnell's dis patch to the president, received Mon- day, is not quite in accord with the re- quirements of the constitution in such emergencies, but troops will undoubt edly be dispatched from Fort Sheridan to the scene of the troubles.
