MORE FIGHTING IN CHICAGO
Anarchists Urge the Rabble to
Violence and the Torch Free
quently Used.
The morning call., 1894-07-09

g: Chicago, the center Of the most extern
sfve railroad strike in the history of the
United States, is under military protec-
tion. More than this, President Clsve-
land has issued a proclamation in which
he practically decl ares the whole State
OF Illinois under martial law.
Affairs were somewhat less turbulent
in Chicago yesterday, but under the
guidance of anarchists mobs displayed
violence and the torch was frequently
. applied to unprotected railroad prop
*erty. 1t was at Hammond, Ind, just
over the Illinois State line, however,
that the seen es Of IawIessness and blood
. sb ed were renewed with a vengeance.
During all saturda ay night and up to an
early hour yesterday morning the town
was a. the mercy of a mob numbering at
least 5000, and acts OF incendiarism and
: pirfage were unchecked.
- Finally the regular troops were sent
to check the riotous proceedings, and
-tne firing of two VOIIeys fntO the mob
resulted in death and the wounding of
many.
:: Mayor Hopkins of Chicago is of the
opinion that the crisis is passed and
. that there will be no more acts of
-. violence.
" In this State the outlook is more
Eioomy to the public than ever. In the
vicinity OF Sacramento and San Jose it
is asserted that the strikers are deter
IN in ed to block traffic at all hazards,
and reports of threats of extreme vio-
Hence are frequently heard. Around
Los Angeles, however, trains moved
yesterday under the protection of the
Federal troops.
: IT Is now positively known that Fed
: eraI troops will move from the PresidIO
to Oakland to-day, and soon prac-
:tfcabIe they will proceed to Sacramento.

Northern hotel since Thursday without
reaching any agreement as 10 the resiOra-
ton of passenger rates to a basis on

the meeting adjourned this afternoon
very little progress had been made TO.
ward settlement Of the differences be.
tween the American lines and the eau
dian Pacific. The conference Will be- re
sumed ON Monday.
At the session today two resolutions
were offered aud voted on, but neither
was Adopted, The first resolution offered
by the American lines was TO the effect
that the Canadian Pacific and 500 line
would he granted dilferential rate of
50 on hrsi-class aud $3.50 on second
c.uss tickets from ST. Paul TO San Frau
cisco, via Victoria and steamship, but
no diifcrential by their rail route alone
The representatives of the Canadian Pa
cifc and the 500 line connection voted
against this proposal, while representa-
tiyes Of al. the other lines voted in the
Affirmative.
Then the representatives Of the Can
adam Pacific and 500 line presented a
resolutions providing for dilfcrcntials Of
So on first class and s on second class
tickets from 81. Paul TO San Francisco
via their Shasta route, aud $40 on first
class and $40 On second class tickets
via Vivioria and steamer. Al the other
lines voted in the negative on this pro-
position, the SoO-Pacilic alone voting in
the affirmative.
No COMPROMISE LIKELY.
This was the situation when tine meet

away from an agreement the conference
Is at this time. Il is argued by some
that no compromise can be effected.
