ApAY or TERRoR.
The day In Chicago has been one Of
constant alarms and calling for police.

wide stretch OF territory In the south
ern part Of the city. Riot has been run.

cars have been overturned, switches

various ways. Tho torch has been up.
piled 10 numerous buildings and cars,
switch towers and the like, not 10 mon
ton an attempt to fire part OF the
great Armour packing plant; in fact, at
one time the incendiary blazos followed
each other Ia such quick succession
that the fire department was put to
straits 10 caro- for all OF them. To add
to the gravity OF tho situation. 1t was
found that the strikers were interfering
with the police, railroad and Gre
alarm, telegraph system and, in one or
two instances, policemen who wero ria.
ing the police telephone calls were
stoned.
In general, the order Of things com.
pared with that OF Yesterday was re.
Yersed. Then the railroads were trying
to break the blockade by sending trains
out To-day they recognized the fu.
ility OF that method OF procedure and
practically gave up any attempt TO out
ward movement But there were some
incoming passenger trains on several OF
the roads, together with a few OF the
regular milk trains. Between these
two classes OF traffic the strikers man
aged 10 mako trouble for nearly every
road running in southsrly direction.
Tho Fort Wayne, the Lake Shore, the
Michigan Central. the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Illinois Central, the Alton, the Pan
Handle, tho Western Indiana, the Rock
Island, the Monon, all experienced dif-
ticulty In greater or less degree OF some
time or all Of the timo during the day.
The trick Of soaring the crew Of q train,
cutting tho engine loose, running up
the track, opening the throttle and
letting 1t run full tilt back upon tho
standing train was now one and OF O
character likely TO be initiated.
Tho Htoning OF incoming trains was
common pastime with the mobs and
ssVeral persona were more or less In
jured by flying missiles. One engineer
on Rock Island train was so badly in
jured that Ii was at fret reported that
he was dead.
MET WITH LEAD.
Tho assaults OF the mobs. however,
were not met with the passive resist
ance which characterized tho course
pursued yesterday. On two occasions
at least their attacks were met with &C.
curately aimed lend.
During riot in tho forenoon over an
incoming mail train at Kensington, O
deputy United States marshal shot and
killed two strikers and during the after
noon tho deputies guarding an incom-
log Baltimore & Ohio passenger train
replied to the volley Of shots and stones
which the strikers showered upon them
by turning their revolvers loose, kill
ing four OF their assailants aud wound
ing q number OF others.
A new and grave feature was added
to the situation this afternoon whom q
meeting OF representatives OF oil tho
bodies Of organized labor in the city,
after protracted discussion In which q
a general sympathy striks was favored,
appointed committee OF three with
full power to act, aud at tho same time
called meeting Of all organized labor
for next Sunday to ratify their action.
Late this afternoon tho second regi.
mont state militia was ordered TO the
stock yards.
On the situation In general, It may be
said to have broadened and strength:
oned in It's grip. The most siRnifcant
feature OF It is tho carrying OF the atrike
east OF Cleveland, tieing up all the con-
ncctions OF the seaboard trunk linea
with tho promise that by tomorrow II
would reach tho trunk lines themselves
and so practically reach the Atlantic
aeaboard by tieing up the railroads at
Buffalo. Thus tho strike would be ex-
tended from ocean to ocean. There Is
no notable relief OF the points hereto.
ioro placed under embargo, and the cit.
uatlon at Kansas City was complicated
by the tielng up OF tho Fort Scott road,
thereby involving another southwestern
limo. Tho Pacific coast remains In
paralysis, from which there are no indi.
cations OF relief.
Another significant note comes from
Seattle, Wash, whore tho stevedores
wero called out by tho chief Of
the knights Of Labor to prevent
tho unloading Of a steamer from san
Francisco, indicating that Grand Master
soyeseign's promise to Debs to aid him
in every possible way was not merely
for effect. Tho day closes with no rift
in tho pail which overhauga tho nation.
A LAST APPEAL
During tho afternoon President Dcbs
sent out q largo number OF kilograms to
various labor organizations and assem-.
blles Of the American Railway Union,
urging them to stand firm for at least
twenty.iour hours longer. II by that
time tho strike situation has not i'm
