Howard, Keliher and Rogers, the CHIEF
officers Of the railway union. Included in
some Of the indictments, also, are Other

be compelled to give bail on each separate
indictment has not been settled, but will
be after the bench warrants are issued

Mayor Hopkins has become displeased
over the reiterated reports that he has al
different times requested the removal OF
the federal troops from Chicago. Last
| night he gave out for publication copies
OF kilograms between the secretary of wal
and himself and copies of notes exchanged
between General Miles and himself. Botl
| General Miles and Secretary Lamont
asked him IL he felt able to keep the peace
| in Chicago without the assistance of fed.
eral troops, aud upon his statement that
| he felt able to dc so the order withdraw
| ing the regulars was issued. This GORE.
spondence, Mayor Hopkins declares, covers
everything on the subject in which he had
any part.
Reports from Oakland are to the effect
that the dispatch received from Debs did
not state that the strike had been de-
clared off, but merely informed the
strikers that the strike in California could
be ended by majority vote of the men.
The Southern Pacific dispatched train
for Portland, the first that has been sen
out on that line since the strike began
Military guards still go upon all import
