Knights Of Labor Throughout the Coun-

CHICAGO, July 9.-Grand Master
Workman Sovereign and Mem Der Mar
tin of the the executive board, attended
a secr4t conference this afternoon ut
which the situation was discussed by
the Knights of Labor A final decision
to strike ia numbers all over the coun
try was finally adopted. Mr.. Sovereign
said to night that every Knight of La
bor in the United States would go
when called upon to assist the strikers.
One more day of suspense and the
city will either be restored to q peace
full condition or riot and anarchy will
run loose in the streets.
This is the universal verdict as to
the outcome Of the attempt at arbitra-
tiop with the Pullman company. which
failed today, and the unanimous agree.
ment OF all labor organizations to
strike in sympathy with the Pullman
employees and the American Railway
union men unless a settlement Of
the strike and boycott is effected be-
fore A o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The widest rumors have been flying
today as 10 the probable action of the
strikers aud the authorities II is not
doubted that over 100, 900 men will
obey the call to strike az agreed upon
at the meeting
Only one union out Of the 100 has
not agreed to strike and that is the
printers,
The gravity of the situation is be .
coming more and more apparent in
Chicago and as the feeling increases
the efforts on the part of disinterested
parties to secure a settlement have
been redoubled.
The news spread broadcast tonight
that the hundred or more anarchists in
Chicago had not neglected the oppor-
tuuity to inhamO the excited masses
with their destructive doctrines, has
tended to increase the excitement and
suspense.
During the meetings held in Uhlich's
hall and elsewhere the past wsek rep.
resentative anarchists have been pres
ent in the lobby ut all times. Sam
Fielden and his friends have been con-
spicuous, and the apparent efforts to
re-awaksn an interest in the anar-
chial doctrine have been looked upon
with fear by both the American Rail-
way union officials and the authorities.

Alderman McGillen said with great
emphasis: "Mr. Wickes, your company
demands the police protection of the
federal government, the state Of ILL.,
nois, the county of Cook and the
city of Chicago, and yet you utterly
ignore fair request made by the
city, request the fundamental idea OF
which is the preservation of peace.
We have come to you as conservers of
the peace and you have assumed grave
responsibility in thus refusing the re
quest we make, a responsibility greater.
perhaps. than ever you are aware"
There is principle involved in this
matter, " said Mr. Wickss, (which the
Pullman company will not surrender.
1t is that employers must be permitted
to run their business in their own way
and without interference from employees
or from anybody else. We shall not
allow any one to tell us how our bust
ness shall be conducted, and we shall
not consent to arbitration. Our busi-
ness is our own private affair and we
want no interference from federal or
state or any other government"
There was nothing more to say. One
hundred thousand men will quit work
tomorrow night for an indefinite
period, trusting that in their contest
for the prin ciple of arbitration, they
will win.

Little Opposition.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 9-The
naval appropriation bill was passed In
the senate today with very little fric-
tion or delay. There was one amend
ment offered which might have led
to considerable debate, and that
was for the construction of
two new steel-armored cruisers,
at cost not exceeding $2,750. 900 each.
Mr.. German (Md.) who was in charge
oil the bill, requested that the amend
ment should be withdrawn. on the
ground, first that by 1896 the thirteen
cruisers now in course Of construction
would be completed and would furnish
a very respectable navy, and second, that
in the present depressed condition of
business and the existing state of the
treasury finances, it is desirable to
keep down expenses. Mr.. Daniel Vir.

recognized the force of the suggestions,
and in accordance with Mr. Germans
request. withdrew the amendment.

At the headquarters Of the leaders or
Of the strikers it is admitted at late

proved, but it is also contended among
the strikers that. Notwithstanding the
conditions that may be brought to bear
in and about the local depots, it will be
impossible for trains to run with any de.

striking employees has been effected.

Attorney General Oluey, Postmaster

Schotield met the president at the
white house and expressed satisfaction
with the scope of the manifesto in
which they had share in perfecting.
The president today received another
certifcation 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,
aud from other proininentpersons in the
state, requesting them to urge upon the
president the need for troops in the
Coeur D'Alene region. Senators Shoup
and Dubois took these dispatches TO
the white house tonight and had a talk
with the secretary OF war and Major
General Schofeld on the subject. 1t
seems that Governor McCoanell's dis
patch to the president received yester-
day was not quite in accord with the
requirements of the constitution in
such emergencies, but troops will un-
doubtedly be dispatched from Fort

shortly after 10 o'clock. General
Miles telegraphed that everything was

The general said that no state troops in
