CHICAGO. July 18.-Debs. Howard. Keli-
her and Rogers were brought from the
County Jail at o'clock this afternoon TO
Commissioner Hoynes' Office by United
States Marshal Arnold for tie purpose Of
consulting with the attorneys. who again
insisted on their giving bail, but the pris-
oners declined
Tue prisoners were in the best of spirits
after their nights experience in Jail
Before IL o'clock, after breakfast, which
be obtained from a neighboring hotel,
Debs came down from his cell to meet
Stenographer Benedict of the A. r. u.
who had bundle of mail for him.
Il had the best nights sleep have had
in month or more" said Debs. Moth
ing disturbed me, not even the ghost of
that man hanged the other day. [ have
absolutely nothing to add to what l have
already said concerning our arrests. We
are here and will stay here until next
Monday at least" President Debs then
fell 20 looking over his mail.
Secretary keliher. while awaiting his
turn in the BARRIERS chair, said. I'VE are
enjoying this respite from work"
Vice President Howard OF the A. R. ..
made the following statement: This
thing is going to be a test case. We don't
consider ourselves bigger than the law,
and incidentally we think the railroads
are not. We are getting some evidence for
the coming legal battle. There is letter,
telling of evidence that most of the freight
car burning in Chicago was done by two
men IN the employ of the General Man
ayers Association. The secret agents
of a certain company saw two men
going through the yards with hand
car loaded with inflammable waste.
which they lighted and Systematically
threw among the cars. This agent over
heard conversation between them, from
which he cleaned they were paid $500
down and were to receive $500 more when
the job was doEe. This understanding
was before the troops were called out. An
effort is now being made to arrest those
two men. We further have pretty POSI-
tive evidence that the big man who led a
mob of 5000 at Blue Island was a Pinker-
ton man employed by the railroads, and it
is significant, although he could be easily
identified, that he has not been arrested.
1t is safe TO say this case will not be en-
tirely ODe-sided."
At a. Il. Z. headquarters there was a
larger crowd to-day than for several days
past. The action of the authorities was
severely criticized. The usual claim that
the strike is still on was made.
At o'clock tonight General Miles ap-
pended his sgDa ature to the general or
der removing Federal troops from Chicago.
The infantry will take trains for their
respective posts. while the cavalry and ar
tillery will march to Fort Sheridan and
remain there until such time as General
Miles thinks best that they be sent to their
posts. Mayor Hopkins denies that he con-
suited General Miles as to the withdrawal
OF Federal troops. The Mayor said: "The
department al Washington attends to that.
The General may be big man in a city
like Chicago, but. like a Congressman. he
is not much at Washington"
The strike is likely to have the effect of
uniting the railways, particularly those of
the West in a closer union than they have
ever bad up to the present. The General
Managers Association handled the strike
in a manner so satisfactory to all the
roads concerned that they have begun 10
ask why the same spirit of harmony which
enabled them to make such fight in deal
ing within te strikers could not be utilized
to advantage in traffic matters. There is
the strongest kind of feeling that all roads
should be concentrated in an effort to
maintain rates and as far as possible
diminish expenses.
The thing is largely in the embryo as
yet, but several schemes have already
been proposed, the principal one Of which
on bo Aa oF tbo
River shall be formed in an association
similar to the Western Passenger Associ-
alton, but at the same time entirely indie.
pendent Of that body and working in har-
mony with it. This would mean that the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific would
be members OF the association west of the
river, while the Atch1son would be men,
ber of both associations.
The first break in the ranks of the Pull
man strikers has occurred. One hundred
and fifty HOllanders have been put to work
on the tracks back of the Pullman foun-
dry. No effort was made to prevent the
men from going to work.
Vice-Presldent Wicks said to-day that
the works at Pullman would be open as
soon as 75O of the men expressed desire
to go back to work. The doors will be
opened for them. whether the military
force is still on duty or not.
The butchers continue returning to work
at the stockyards The sheep-butchers at
ArmouT's received an advance of 25 cents
a day in wages and four and half days
work week guaranteed them.
Albert Miles was shot and probably
fatally wounded last evening by Oscar
Vardman. Both men before the strike
we're employed as engineers by the
Switching Association at the stock
yards. When the strike was declared
both of them went out. Vardman. how
ever, returned to work last Monday.
while Miles remained out Last evening
as Yardman was returning home from
