The features of the railway strike in Chicago as
revealed In the morning papers yesterday did not
indicate the development OF serious phase during
the previous day The coming Of United States
troops TO the scene and the knowledge OF the fact
that General Mics in command. served TO
allay the alarm which grew out Of the reports OF
the night before. New-York people it IS Only fair
to say. have been gratned and pleased at the evil
dence Of sef-control which generally has domi-
mated the strikers the side. and the COM
mander of the troops the other There has been
a feeling OF dread lest the cracking Of rife in the
hands of a soldier should precipate b'oolshed. The
reports throughout the day indicated tina; while
the men In the Federal command were subjected
to assault by the throwing Of stones and by the
Irritating influences Of jeering ana snecring. the
fingers of the soldiers did not riile with the triggers
of their rifles in such a way as to start conflict
NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.
As time advances 1t Is apparent that the strikers
are without public sympathy. George NJ Pullman
came from his Long Branch place yesterday TO his
Office In the Mills Building and remained there for
three or four hours. Then entering cab. at quar-
ter past o'clock he was driven 10 the ferry Tor
his return to his seaside cottage. Mr.. Pullman was
indisposed to talk further OF the situation \ few
weeks ago he wrote a letter which has been widely
published defining his position in regard to the
strike by the wOrkmen directly under the control
Of the management Of his works at Pullman. Mi
Pullman has made some statements in papers since
his arrival East last week. but he has said nothing
which indicates any desire or willingness whatever

THE PROBABLE INDICTMENT or DEBS.
Blu, nothing was heard in the city yesterday
with much satisfaction as that the Grand jury
OF the United States Court I'm session IN Chi-
cago and that there was n strong probability that
Eugene V Debs. the president OF the American
Railway Union. would be indicted and tried for
conspiracy. The character OF this man. while not
understood wholly by New-York .1en. is known by
many Of those engaged In the newspaper profession.
He is an Lpstart Of ability and shr, wdnesJ TO-
cunning work. But he ~ Il leader whom followers
should avoid a man who IS interested In nothing
beyond his own personal ambition. and the accom-
Chief OF the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
He is a man OF dogged stubbOrnness when brought
the point Of realizing the results OF his own IN
competency and Inconsistency. and a man of no
sense Of humanity when ne Is brought TO a con
formulation Of the misery which his own narrow
minded ideas cause to hundreds Of thousands Of
those who have been led to trust In him.
The later reports received by local railroad on
GERS do not tend in any way 10 contribute 10 tn
sum OF apprehension that the strike win spread
eastward II IS said on the authority Of man
who recently conversed with Mr.. Cleveland on the
situation that the President expressed the opinion
that the uprising clearly In the nature OF re-
belon and Instruction. and that Il would be
dealt with by the Government as such. These re-
assuring remarks from Washington and their prac-
tcai support by the Auorney-Gcneral and the Sec
rotary OF War go far toward qnieting the public
mind.
