CHICAGO, July 1l.-Slowly, but steadi-
~, calmly and certainty, as BELTS the SUI
preme power of great nation, through
out all that wide stretch of it's domain
where evil disposed persons are taking ad-
vantage of an exceptional industrial con-
dition to cause riot and bloodshed the
federal government is moving to the nc
complishment of that for which its pow
ers were delegated to it by the prescrya-
tion Of order and the safety Of life and
property.
At Chicago, in conjunction with the
state and the municipality, it has already
brought peace out OF tine condition OF war
which prevailed last week.
At san Francisco, Sacramento, Los An
geles and at various points i'm Colorado
and Washington where the unruly are
causing havoc it has let slip the dogs Of
war in token of its intention to have
peace, even if it has TO fight for it. In
this city, the military arm having accom-
plishcd its purpose, the judicial arm has
taken up the orderly course of its duties,
which include the fixing upon the guilty
parties the measure of their crime and the
fitting Of the punishments thereto.
The step in this procedure was the as
sembling of the federal grand jury and the
delivery of the charge to 10 by Judge
Grosscup. The national authority is not
to be turned aside from an exhaustive in
quiry into the cases which it has under
taken to pass upon by mere technicalities,
and this was evinced at the outset by the
brus queness with which was swept aside
the plea of privacy and privilege which
the Western Union Telegraph company,
with a due regard for the privacy of the
messages Of its clients, was forced to put
in when the jury called for the messages
from President Debs to the members Of
his order which had been transmitted over
its lines. The court held that public safe
ty was paramount to private right and so
ordered that the dispatches be produced.
President Debs' Arrest.
That it is the intention of the govern
ment not to DO too long about the work in
hand was shown from the fact that the
footsteps Of the telegraph official who
brought the dispatches had scarcely ceased
to echo along the corridor leading TO the
grand jury room when that body filed into
Judge Grosscup's court and announced
that it had found a true bill Of Indictment.
Pending the arrest of the person thus
remained locked in the breast Of the lord
high executioner and the public was al
lowed to draw its own conclusions from
all the promises and such preliminary data
as it had at hand. That President Debs
was the man none doubted, and subse-
quent developments justified the surmise.
Touching the outlook for the future
outside Of Chicago, it may be said that
normal conditions have been restored, oil
that they are rapidly approaching that
state, and there seems 10 reason TO sup
pose that the'progrcss toward a oomplet,
resumption Of Hade and traffic will meet
with any serious check as the coming day,
shall succeed each other
In other words, it does not seem pos
sible, with all the forces of law and order
as now arrayed, with their leader put e
his own defense at the bar of justice
with their ranks beginning to be depleted
by assertions and with the strain which
they have already endured, that the Amer
lean Railway union can rally its forces
for a struggle which must needs be long
and discouraging at the best.
Calls For Aid.
Apparently, therefore, their only hope O
final triumph lies in the aid which thel

General Miles stated that in his opinion
the situation was generally quieter, an,

"Incendiarism, assassination and gen
eral destruction are usually the last re

pected until we catch few Of the offend
ors and punish them.
