ONLY PETTY ANNoYANCEs.
WASHINGTON, Jlly 17.-Daily reports
from the troops engaged in preventing
disturbance on the railroads in the West
show that the resistance of the strikers
has generally diminished from the for
mldable rloting 10 petty annoyance and
obstruction. General Merritt at st. Paul
reports that no distractions have been
encountered on the northern road run
ming north from st. Paul, likewise at
| Livingstone, Mont. There is friction on
all the Pacific roads.
From San Francisco, General Ruger re-
| ports that 1t Will be necessary to send the
trains under guard for some time.
! General Miles reported to headquarters
the frightful accident at Chicago yester-
| day. General Miles will take steps to
ascertain how 1t occurred and he may ap-
! pointa board for this purpose.
| As soon as General Miles thinks fit the
| troops will be withdrawn from Chicago,
! but no outside suggestions will be enter
tanned here. When they are withdrawn
! they will go 10 Fort Sheridan, fifteen
miles from that city, and the troops
! from eastern and western points will be-
| sent back toatheir posts. They will be so
located that they can be marched to any
| point without much inconvenience.
! If Congress shall not provide for SUBJ
stantial increase in the army, it may
evolve practical abandonment OF many
regular posts in the West.
1t IS understood that the selection of the
Commissioners to investigate the late
strike was under discussion by the Cabi-
net to-day, but SO far there are no open
| indications OF speedy action in the mat
ter. The President is disposed to act with
lhe greatest cIrcumspection in choosing
men OF national reputation, whose findings
are likely to carry weight with the entire
American people,
LARGER ARMY NEEDED.
NEW YORK, July IA Workd's spe-
cial from Boston says: Major General J !.
NJ. Schotield, commanding the United
States army, arrived in Boston last night
on his way TO Bar Harbor. In CONVERSE
tion with a correspondent, he said that
the late strike in Chicago had caused him
to modify somewhat his views expressed
in recently published article signed by
| him. in which he had taken the ground
! that small but well-disciplined army,
with better coast defense, would be suffi-
cient TO protect the country from inva-
sIons. The question of interior disturb
ances had not been raised at that time.
The General said: II think, upon con-
! sidering the events which have recently
taken place, that an increase OF the
army'S force is needed. Several thou
! sand should be added at once. A small
army, we'll disciplined, Is obviously su-
perior to the large one i'll trained, but a
larger army we'll drilled is now almost
| absolutely required"
WORDS OF PRAISE FOR CLEVELAND.
WASHINGTON, July lin view of the
criticisms that have been uttered in GER
tain quarters on the legality OF the course
pursued by President Cleveland in using
Federal troops, notably at Chicago, not
to preserve the peace, but to execute the
DEGREES Of the Federal judiciary, and
keep IN operation the provisions of the
interstate commerce law, the following
! letter from one OF the most able exDo-
nentS of the Constitution in the land has
| peculiar application:
ANN ARBoR (NIich.), July 10th,
| ''PreSide1ot CJe0etGnd-HoNoRED SIR:
| Now that the great strike in which your
official Intervention became so necessary
/ has been clearly shown to be a failure. I
! beg to be allowed to express my unquali-
! fed satisfaction with every step You have
| taken IN vindication of the national au-
| thority, and with the restoration of law
and order which has followed, or is now
/ in progress. The caution and deIibera-
ton with which you have proceeded are,
l think, worthy, like the accompanying
fairness. of the highest praise. and l am
simply gratified that great and valuable
! lesson IN constitutional construction has
been settled for all time with remarkably
| little bloodshed. You, and the Attorney
| General also, have won the gratitude of
the country, not for this generation, but
for all time, and may God bless you for
it is the sincere prayer of your obedient
servant. THOMAS NJ. COOLEY"
