gains arc at comparatively unimportant

day. These, with the forces already i'm the
field, it is believed, will be able today to
make further bcttermcnt in the condi-
tions in this city, and the mobilization Of
troops and marines at san Francisco and
OF regulars at other points on the Pacific
coast will suffice, in all probability, to
start traffic on the transcontinontal lines.
Excitement at Pullman.
The presidents proclamation against
the assembling Of crowds and advising cit
liens to absent themselves from mobs or
other gatherings caused much removed ex-
element today in Pullman.
Forward persons were not slow to claim
that the federal authorities had entered
into combination with the Pullman inter
ests to break up the open air meetings that
have been daily feature I'm tho town.
If we cannot meet freely in the open air
to discuss our wrongs said one Of them,
there is but one ALTERNATIVES. Tho ten
dency is to meet in secret This is what
forces secret societies, and If carried out
will make Il necessary for us to work un-
der cover Of secrecy as different sections Of
one whole. This is what creates the So
crecy of nihiism and 1t is a conspiracy to
break our spirit by scattering us.

Debs on the Situation.
President f. v Debs Of the American
Railway union, when seen by your corrc-
spondent said: ave are stronger than
ever. Nothing can break our forces but
usurpation and tyranny. 1 am threat
ened with arrest. What for? For organ
izing labor. We say to capital, Here is
our labor, and these are our terms. This
is legai-this is the spirit Of the age Mr.
Havemeyer organizes a sugar trust and
says to the public, Here IS my sugar, and
these are my terms. He has polluted the
national legislature. have acted honor
ably and committed no crime.
Tho United States authorities arc
bringing themselves into contempt by
their wanton violation of law and the con-
stitution. The common people are begin
ming to understand this Capital insists
upon looking on labor rs it did on slavery
that it has no right, like capital, to cx-
act or ask for terms. The principle Of
slavery is what capital is now insisting
on. i want to call the attention Of the
people Of this country to this.
The Pullman strike, while the acute
cause, is not the underlying cause Of this
trouble. The people Of this country arc
paying 50, 600, 600 a day in interest. This
is draining productive industry of its
profits and is piling up money in the
money centers.
I'VE are not responsible for tho lawless
element and loss Of property. Not even
disciplined armies have ever been able to
prevent this element from rising.
I'VE ask the public TO be patient while
labor stands with its back to the door that
leads to serfdom and says to its oppressor,
Thus far and no farther 1t is better to
lose little now than more in the end and
with 1t constitutional liberty"
No Labor Meetings Allowed.
Intense excitement was caused in the
stockyards district by the mayors an
nouncement that no labor meetings would
be permitted until matters have quieted
down. An immense meeting had been
Vrranged for last night at Columbia hall.
Forty eighth and Paulina streets and q
crowd had assembled. a notice of Mayor
Hopkins had been posted on the door stat
ing that in the present state of public OK
element it was not deemed advisable to
allow such meetings to be held. An Of
ticer was stationed in front Of the hall,
who warned the crowd away.
Similar notices lad been posted on all
other halls in the district, and notwith-
standing there was considerable loud
mouthed defiance no attempt was made
to hold meeting After lettering about
for an hour the crowd finally dispersed, and
comparative quiet prevails. The only
overt act last night was the setting of a
small fire, which destroyed a couple Of
box cars at Forty seventh and Luomis
streets. The loss was Of no consequence.
The Ninth infantry of the United States
army Colonel Charles G. Bartlett COM
mnnding arrived in the city in a special
train from Sackett's Harbor n. Y, over
the New York Central and Michigan Cen
trail ronds The soldiers were marched to
the camp already established on the lake
front. A crowd Of 9, 200 sightseers near
the southern end of the camp caused the
entire camp to be put under arms, and the
jeers of a number Of drunken men nearly
caused serious trouble Troop *, Sew
enth cavalry, Captain Hare, was finally
directed to make a slow charge through
the crowd, driving the spectators, whose
numbers had quickly swclled to 5000
across to the west side Of Michigan ave

The Resolution Suppressed.
It was announced that the city council
would adopt resolution calling on the
president to withdraw the federal troops
from Chicago. This action was not tax
en- however It seems that the resolu-
tip had been prepared by the representa-
ttNs of some labor organization and was
to be offered by an alderman. When the
trainers of the resolution reached the
council chamber, they were met by Alder
man O'Connor, who had drawn a resolu-
tion so much warmer than theirs that
they determined to substitute It. The res
Olution in some way got into tho hands of
the mayor, who suppressed it. and the an
ticipated action fell through, greatly TO
the disgust Of the projectors.
The rioters i'm the vicinity Of the stock
yards are arming themselves with revolv-
ors. Heretofore they have used stones and
bricks, but now they are preparing for
moro serious resistance.
1t Is said to be probable that President
Debs will be under arrest by Tuesday aft
ernoon or Wednesday morning. Judge
Grosscup is in tho city and had q confer
ence with District Attorney Milchrist.
