Union Leaders Demand the With
drawaI of Troops.

Chicago, July 9.-After an all nights
secret session the meeting of the union
leaders of Chicago decided on a general
strike unless the Pullman strike is
settled. They will allow until noon
Tuesday for Pullman to arbitrate or
come to some formal agreement with
his striking employees, in failure of
out at p. M, Tuesday.
This means that not only all build
ing trades workers will stop, but also
that butchers, bakers and street car
and elevated railroad employees will go
out, completely paralyZing all indus
tries, besides seriously affecting the
food supply of thousands of people.
The following letter was ordered sent
to Governor Altgeld:
ITO Governor Altgeld:
GIN view of the occupation of the
state of Illinois by armed forces of the
United States, without proper demand
having been made by the constituted
authorities of the state and in defiance
of the constitution,
Resolved, That a committee of two
be appointed to wait upon the city
council and request of it that it demand
of President Cleveland the withdrawal
from the city of the troops now held
in the city. We insist that your excel
lency take legal steps to compel the
withdrawal of said army forces at once,
and pledge your eXcellency the support
of the law loving organized trades in
Chicago in the accomplishment of this
result

CLEvELAND's PROCLAMATION.
Similar One Was Issued by Hayes in
1877

Chicago, July g. Notice that Presi-
dent Cleveland's proclamation was
about to be received, was received at
army headquarters late last night
It was copied on the official paper of
the headquarters and copy was des-
patched to the mayor.
General Miles spent an hour in tele-
phone and telegraph communication
with the president and secretary of
war. According to the best informa-
ton obtainable the proclamation was
FASTENED by the news from Spring
Valley that striking miners were en-
gagged in depreciation. At midnight
General Miles was seen.
Does the proclamation mean mar
tial law" he was asked.
1T amounts to the same thing It
means that whoever disobeys it is a
public enemy, and as such is to be
treated"
Does it place you in command of
the state troops?"
No; the president is acting in ac-
cordance with law and under the au-
thority conferred on him by the consti-
tuition. 1t means that all riotous per-
sons who incite TO riot are enemies to
the constitution and will be treated as
such"
Ills WdS dll OBHeIdl Niles would
say. From excellent authority it
comes that the proclamation means
that the military can arrest whoever
incites to riot and that it can dispense
mobs on railroad tracks or anywhere
else without further warning than that
conveyed in the proclamation, which
is, of course, an order to the troops.
Copies of the proclamation will be
printed this morning, and posted on
the railroad tracks in all sections of the
city.
While, as stated in the foregoing.
the outbreak 1t Spring Valley probably
precipitated it, the presidents action.
it is said, is based on the fact that the
well being of all states is menaced by
the instruction of Chicago. Lines Of
transportation are interrupted, the
mails cannot be carried and supplies of
food are cut off. The entire country is
disorganized.

DEBs WILL BE JUGGED.
Railway People Positively Decline
to Arbitrate.

Chicago, July "A committee rep
resenting the labor unions met a COM
mittee from the city council at
o'clock. The chairman of the council
committee suggested that a committee
of five prominent business men be in
vited to visit the Pullman company to
arbitrate. He suggested the commit
tee consist of two officials of the Pull
man company, two prominent citizens
to be appointed by the judges of Cook
county, and the fifth to be chosen by
the four. The labor committee APP
pointed a subcommittee of three. who.
with the council committee, went at
once to confer with Vice-President
Weeks, of the Pullman company.
The committee OF seven appointed by
the labor leaders asked Mayor Hop
kins to arrange for a citizens COM
mittee Of influential business men
which should undertake to force Pull
man TO arhitrate.
Mayor Hopkins referred the matter
to the committee appointed by the city
council a week ago.
Resolutions were adopted request
ing Samuel GOmpers, president of the
Federation of Labor. to come toChica-
go at once. and authorizing the ap-
pCintment of a committee to request
tle city council to demand of the pres
idelt the withdrawal of federal troops.
y letter was also sent to Governor
Altge,d. insisting that he compel the
withdrawal Of federal troops immedi-
ately.
At $50 this afternoon Vice-President
Wicks positively refused to meet the
committee.
It is said to be probable that Presi-
dent Debs Will be under arrest by Tues
day afternoon.

WHAT DEBS IS.
A Physical and Mental Wreck From
DESTINATION.

New York, July 9.-The Advertiser,
this morning, says: DIR. B. Robinson
is one of the few New Workers who
know something of the antecedents of
Eugene V. Debs. DIR. Robinson is a
specialist of the nervous diseases and
treated Debs in April, 1892, for a seri-
Gus case of dipsomania. AT that time
Debs was prominent in labor agitation
and the editor of a labor paper in Terre
Haute, Ind.
His system broke down completely
under alchoholic excess and he became
a mental and physical wreck. With a
letter of introduction from Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll he came to New
York and was treated by DR.. Robinson
and was restored to something like
health again.
DR.. Robinson sent a letter to Debs
Thursday night, warning him that he
was in no condition to enter upon such
an undertaking as the management of
the great A. R. U. strike.
Il consider him almost, if not full
ly, irresponsible" said DR.. Robinson,
land L told him so in my telegram.
His physical condition is not good and
the effects of dipsomania may effect
his intellect. 1 have received no an
swer to my telegram and the SUPPOSE
ton is that Mr.. Debs considers him
self insulted by calling him irresponsi-
BILE. He will break down physically
and probably mentally as soon as this
strain is over, if not before and will
probably relapse into his former dissi-
pated habits"

sentatives of the federated board to
hold, by appointment, conference with
General Manager Dickinson tomorrow.
They state that the object is to dis
cuss means Of assisting the managers
and the receivers in restoring complete
harmony and regular traffic on the
Union Pacific system. They say that
in no event will the organiza tons COM
prising the federated board walk out
now.
Having agreed with the court, they
will now, if a grievance arises, submit
lit to the court. They condemn the
method pursued by Debs in involving
lparties not directly interested in the
fight with Pullman, and declare that
Iif Sovereign should call out the
knights of Labor the call would be of
no effect on the Union Pacific system.

Whereas, For the purpose OF en-
forcing the faithful execution of the

preventing Instructions of the United

Mcconnell is Stubborn.

Washington, Juy 9.-Early in the
evening, Senators Dubois and Shoup of
Idaho, again called on the president
about the trouble at Wallace Several
kilograms have been received by the
senators from the United States judge
and others, emphasizing the seriousness
of the situation and reiterating the re-
QUESTION for troops. The governor also
to the president during the
afternoon.
AS yet no action has been taken to-
ward sending troops to Wallace, the
fact that there have been no violations
of the United States laws standing in
the way Of such action until the gov
ernor signifies he is unable, with the
state forces at his command, to quell
the disorder. This the governor has not
done although he has signified his de-
sire for federal assistance.

Chicago July 9-The following order
was issued this afternoon by General

| Chicago July 9-The following order
was issued this afternoon by General
Miles:
ITO all United States troops serving
in the department of the Missouri:
1.-THE acts of violence committed in
the last few days in the stopping of
| mail trains and post roads, the blocking
of the interstate commerce, the open
defiance and violation of the injunction
of the United States court; the assaults
upon the federal forces in the lawful
discharge of their duties; the destruc-
Ition, pillage and footing of the inland
commerce property belonging to citi-
Zens of the different states, and other
acts Of rebellion and lawlessness, have
been of such a serious nature that the
duties of the military authorities are
more clearly defined.
THE proclamation of the president,
1.-THE commandments of the land and
naval forces, and the state militia when
called on to serve, is understood by the
military to be in the interest of human
| ity and to avoid the useless waste of
| life, if possible.
1T is an executive order for all law
abiding citizens to separate themselves
| from the laWbreakers and those in
actual hostility to the action of the
| United States courts, and the laws of
the national government. He has de-
! fined the attitude of these lawbreakerS
to be enemies of the government, and
hence it is the duty of the military for
ces to aid the United States marshals
| to diaperse, capture or destroy all
bodies of men obstructing the mail
| routes, and in actual hostility to the in
| junction of the United States court and
| the laws of the United States This
does not change the relation of the
| federal officials with those of the local
authorities, as it is expected that the
state and municipal governments will
maintain peace and good order within
the territory of their jurisdiction.
Should they fail, or be overpowered,
the military forces will assist them, but
not z y the extent of leaving unpro-
tected property belonging to or under
the protection, of the United States.
The officer in the immediate command
| OF troops must be the judge as to what
use to make of the forces at his COM
| mand, in executing his orders and in
case serious action be required and
there be time, he will communicate
with his next superior for his instruc-
tons.
"The earnest efforts of the law-abid-
ing citizens have done much to improve
the condition of affairs during the last
few days, and I can earnestly request
all the law-abiding citizens to do what
ever possible to assist in maintaining
the civil government and the authority
of the municipal, state and federal gov
ernments in preserving peace and good
order"

Was n Disappointment.

Toledo, O., July 9.-While the leaders
of the American Railway union claim
that they feel encouraged with the re-
suit of the first day of the strike, the
movement has been entirely unlike
what was expected. The principal
point is the air line junction of the
Lake Shore, where nearly 300 men quit
work this morning, and where over 200
cars of freight are standing on the
tracks. superintendent Johnson and
his assistants did the switching and
managed to get out a freight at Ais
this afternoon.
Six trains of stock and perishable
freight passed through later this after
noon, but the company will not at
tempt to move trains. Passenger trains
are not interfered with The Brother
hood of Engineers and ffremen who
have thus far refused to go out in a
body will determine their course at a
meeting to be held tonight.

WHY kNEEBoNE WAS KILLED.
He Gave Damaging Testimon!
Against the Rioters.


He Gave Damaging Testimony
Against the Rioters.
Wallace, Idaho July 9.-The trouble
which resulted in the killing of John
Kneebone, a blacksmith at the Gem
mine, on July 8, originated in his Civ
ing damaging testimony against the
strikers in their trial for rioting here
two years ago. A month ago he and
about thirty others were blacklisted by
the Miners unions of Gem ad Burke
and their employers were required to
discharge them. The mine owners re-
fused either to discharge or protect
them, allowing them to take their own
chances. On July 3, about forty mask
ed men, armed with rifles, went to the
town Of Gem and shot Kneebone. Other
men whom they saw in the mines and
mills were warned and hid themselves.
They took Superintendent r. n. Neill,
William Drummer the mine foreman
and two others and marched them to
the Montana line, where they made
them take an oath never to return to
the Couer d'Alene country, and left
them. Their captors returned to Gem
and Burke. Knowing the difficulty of
securing evidence against the assassins,
nothing has been done toward their ar
by at least $50 people.
Governor Mcconnell offers $1,000 for
their conviction. Both Wallace and
Wardner have been in condition of sus-
pense and distrust for the past four
days, as other threats have been made.
Every citizen is taking precautions for
his own protection. All the mines
besides two have closed down and these
are likely to close. An attempt was
made to blow up the Bunker Hill cleo
trio power house yesterday morning,
but it failed only because the bomb
struck a stump and it exploded near
the building instead of under it as it
was intended.
The town is being guarded by the To-
cal company of the national guard,
deputy sheriffs and special policemen.
William Murphy is the latest man
ordered to leave the country. He walk
ed down to Osborne yesterday after
noon, took a train for Spokane this
morning and was given until midnight
to leave, but was not anxious to crowd
1T. The men who ordered John Davis
out on Friday were arrested today,
charged with disturbing the peace. An
inquest on the body of John KneebOne
will be held tomorrow.

Engineers VIII Not Go Out.

Kansas City, July 9.-The night
switching force of the Missouri Pacific
went out tonight, and it is said the day
force will strike in the morning. This
involves all the roads at this point,
except the Union Pacific. Nothwith-
standing the strike, the Missouri Pa
cific succeeded in getting two freights
out during the night. The men are I'M
demonstrative.
The situation on other roads is I'M
changed from yesterday, and trains
are generally being moved.
Engineers, at a meeting tonight,
agreed not to go out.
