that it cannot be stopped except through
lack of further material on which to feed.
The maddened mobs. now worked up
to the highest pitch of fury, are parallel
ing the scenes of the Commune, and at
this hour it appears as though nothing
short of the miraculous can prevent
an armed demonstration against them,
and the sacrifice of many lives.
About eighty cars were burned slta.
gether in the Illinois Central yard. a.
l0. o'clock tonight flames were yet
smoldering. but no further spread of the
fire at this point is feared.
Much apprehension was felt this even
ing concerning the Pullman shops. The
feeling among the strikers is intense.
This evening committee of the strikers
made atour of the works, and ordered
the watchmen to leave the place or suffer
the consequences. Some of these became
greatly alarmed and did so, but later, be-
Ing reassured by the company and the
arrival during the evening of the State
militia, they returned 10 their posts, and
during the early evening it was said that
the Pullman plant was adequately
manned with guards. The intentions of
the strikes were not known, but there are
those interested who fear incendiary
work, or the possible use of explosives.
The first detachment of the National
Guard reached Kensington at $50 O'Clock.
The train ran around to Riverdale, where
company was left on guard. and then
returned to KensIngton. Here the town
seemed full of people, and there were
evidently many strangers. The people
lined up along the tracks where the
troops were leaving the cars, and the citi-
zen soldiers wereireceived with shouts of
derision. There was no offer of violence,
however. and the troops soon completed
their camp arrangements, and entered
upon the work of guarding property and
preventing riots.
AT midnight nearly all the cars in the
yards have been destroyed. The mob
showed method in it's incendiarism, and
hundreds of cars were rified and their
contents carried away before the torch
was applied. The loss on the Panhandle
yards alone is estimated at 81, 100000
LATER-The fire in the Illinois Central
property at Burnside was subdued with
but slight loss.
At 2:l5 this morning about forty freight
cars were burning in the Chicago, Bur-
Hngton and Quincy yards. The firemen
are at work. and it is not thought the
flames will spread any further. A crowd
of 200 or 300 people gathered about watch
ing the work of the firemen, and forty
policemen have just been sent from the
nearest station to prevent any rioting.
Reports from other parts of the city are
to the effect that it is quiet. No further
trouble is anticipated before morning.

PROCLAMATION FROM DEBs.
Strikers Requested Not to Molest the
Trains.

Trains.
CHICAGO, July 6.-President Debs has
issued the following proclamation:
.Io AA Striking Employees: In view
of the report of disturbances in various
localities. l deem it my duty to caution
you against being party to any viola
ton of law, municipal, State OF National,
during the existing difficulties. We have
repeatedly declared that we respect law
and order, and our conduct must con-
form to our profession. A man who
commits violence in any form, whether q
member of our order or not, should be
promptly arrested and punished, and we
should be first to apprehend the mis-
creant and bring him to justice.
I'VE must triumph as law-abiding citi-
Zens or not at all. Those who engage in
force and violence are our real enemies.
We have it upon reliable authority that
thugs and toughs have been employed to
create trouble so as to prejudice the pub
in every case should be made to pay the
penalty of the law.
81 appeal to you to be men, orderly
and law-abiding. Our cause is just, the
great public is with us, and we have
nothing to fear. Let 1t be borne in mind
that ii the railroad companies can secure
men to handle their trains, they have
that right. Our men nave the right TO
quit; there their rights end. Other men
have the right to take their places, what
ever the opinion or the penalty of SO do
ing may be.
'Come away from railroad yards or
rights of way, or other places where
crowds congregate. A safe plan is to re-
main away entirely from places where
there is any likelihood of being any out
break. The railroad managers have
sought to make it appear that their trains
do not move because of the interference
of the strikers. The statement is an un-
qualified falsehood. and no one knows
this better than the managers themselves.
They make this falsehood serve their
purpose of calling out the troops.
Respect the law, conduct yourselves
as become men, and our cause shall be
crowned with success.
EUGENE V. DEBs."
ALL TRADES MAY BE CALLED OUT.
CHICAGO, July g. During the day
Debs sent a large number of cablegrams
to various labor organizations, and as
semblies of the American Railway Union
urging them to stand firm for at least
twenty-four hours longer. If by that
time the strike situation has not inn
proved for the better, Mr.. Debs an
nounces that organized labor all over the
country will be called out, without any
reservation whatever.

The Big -FOUR Road Tied Up Com
pletely at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, July 6.-The Big Four
men went out this morning. and the road
is tied up completely. The mem bers of
the American Railway Union were in
session all night, and it is reported that
they decided to tie up all the roads run
ming into the city to-day. Committees
have been sent out to notify the crews on
the Lake Shore, Nickel Plate, Erie and
other roads of the action of the meeting.
The Canton and Southern, as well as
the Big Four road, is completely tied up.
At O. clock the Lake Shore men struck.
Out of forty-eight yards crews and en-
gines on that road, only one engine was
working, and the men said that they had
not been notified.
One or two passenger trains arrived
and departed, but as long freight trains
were being constantly pulled into the
yards and deserted on main tracks, il
seemed probable that a blockade would
soon result.
The Cleveland and Pittsburg mon
promptly stopped work when notified to
do so by the committee and at $50 only
one crew ont of thirty was at work.
The strikers are exclusively switch
men, and passenger trains only will be
affected in the blockades. The engineers,
6remen and trainmen will not go on a
strike. The trainmen say that they will
not perform any duties of the switchmen.
