Washington, July 5.-The president
is watching the developments of the
situation at Chicago with deep concern.
He is advised of every movement as
reported to the war department and
department of justice.
Apprehension is not confined to
Chicago alone, but the progress of dis
affection in the far west is also source
of great solicitude of the officials
Sacramento, California, is looked up
on as a particularly threatening point,
but up to this time there has been no
warrant for military interference, mas
much as the judicial officers have not
yet applied for troops. Preparations
have been made, however, to meet such
calls without delay, probably by dis
patching troops from the preside.
This evening the president, Secretary
Lamont, Acknowledgement Olney and
General Schofield, discussed the situa-
ton, being informed of the various
phases by the Associated Press bulle-
tins. 1t was deemed expedient, also.
to establish a means of speedy and
direct communication with General
Miles. and to that end the manager OF
the Western Union Telegraph company
was called upon to connect the White
House wire with one of the main wires
to General Miles headquarters in
Chicago.
At 11:40 the conference broke up,
General Schofield was pressed to state
whether or not the president had been
requested to withdraw the troops at
Chicago, but he replied that as this
touched a matter entirely within the
presidents province, he could not dis
cuss it. Subsequently Secretary La
mont caused to be prepared copies OF
the Geographic correspondence which
had passed between the president and
Governor Altgeld, of Illinois.
The consideration of the governor
letter and the preparation of the answer
had occupied the president and his ad-
visers nearly three hours. At midnight
the great doors of the White House
were closed and the president and Sec

Very Near to Death.

Chicago. July 5.-General Miles,
speaking of the obstructive tactics of
the strikers and their sympathizers at
the stock yards and railroads, said:
Those men don't seem to realize how
close to death they are every time they
attempt to stop a train and harass the
troops That bloodshed has not yet
taken place is due to the extraordinary

and resist by physical force the push

to their guns. If a shot is fired or an

Chicago, July 5.-President Debs, of
the A. r. u, issued an address tonight
to the public, the purport of which, he
said, was to acquaint the people with
the facts relating to the trouble. After
reciting the history of the Pullman
strike and the action taken by the A.
r. U. convention in Chicago on June
II, he says:
How did the strike extend to the
railways?
1.-THE day before the order of the
union declining to haul the Pullman
cars went into effect, the General Man
ayers association, representing the
principal western railways, met and
agreed substantially to uphold the
its employees; that they would haul
the Pullman, cars, and that they would
stand together in crushing the life out
of the A. r. U. The trouble resulting
had spread from line to line, and from
system to system, until crisis had
been reached. Every good citizen must
view this outlook with grave concern.
What should be done to restore
peace and confidence? The A. R. U.
stood ready to do anything in its power
that was honorable to end the trouble
1t simply insisted that the Pullman
company should meet it's employees and
do them justice. The latter would ac-
cept any reasonable proposition. The
company might act through its officers
or otherwise through their representa-
tlVes. Let them agree as far as they
could and submit disputed points to
arbitration. The question of the recog-
milton of the A. r. u. or any other or
ganization was waived.
Let the spirit of Cancellation, mutual
concession and compromise animate
and govern both sides, and there will
be no trouble in reaching a settlement
that would be satisfactory TO all con-
cerned. Then let the receivers agree
to restore the men to their positions
without prejudice and the trouble will
end.
LAS to the charge that this is a
sympathetic move, the employees had
only done what the corpora tons had
done. Other organizations of working
men had felt the oppressive hand of
corporations. They would not be
called out, but would go out"
AS TO his own part in the strike Mr..
Debs says it was not ordered by him
self. Under the rules of the American
Railway union, members could only
strike when majority Of their men,
bers so decided.
The vote of the delegates in this in
stance was unanimous.
In closing, Debs said:
Let me repeat that we stand ready
to do our part toward settling the cri-
sis. We have no false pride to stand
in the way of settlement. We do not
want official recognition. If the cor
porations refuse to yield and stub
.bornly maintain that they are not go
ing to arbitrate, the responsibility for
what may ensue will be on their heads
and they cannot escape its penalties %

Denver, July 5.-Governor Waite has
written letters to both President Cleve-
land and Judge Hallett of the United
States district court, protesting against
the wholesale arrests being made by the
deputy marshals at turbulent points in
Colorado. The governor charges Judge
Hallett with overriding the state con-
stitution and ignoring civil processes
and with arnling bodies of men before
calling upon the county and state
authorities, and points to his. Cripple
Creek record as an evidence that he is
willing and able to suppress lawless-
ness. The message of President Cleve-
land rehearses the acts of Judge Hal

San Francisco, July 5.-The Examiner

The Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany has managed to get the state and
national governments between its work.
men, A blow aimed at its property or
privilege to do as it chooses lands on
the law and wounds public order.
Doubtless the corporation felicitates it
self on the generalship by which it has
brought this state of things about, but
in the end it will pay dearly for its
cleverness. That society may avert
from itself riot, it is forced to send
forth its police and soldiery to protect
this undeserving railroad company.
But society has been seduced into no
illusions. The people of California I'M
derstand the situation perfectly, and
when the occasion is gone for making
their own and the corporations inter-
est one, there will be reckoning.
A heavy addition has been made to
the debt which the company will sooner
or later be called on to settle.
Ever since it came into existence the
corporation has done it's utmost to
raise itself above the laws of the state
whose guardianship it now invokes.
Rather than yield point of no great
practical moment to its workmen, it
has laid an interdict on commerce, sub
jected thousands of citizens to serious
loss, shown measureless contempt for
the convenience of the public, thrown
all California into alarm, and brought
1t to the very edge of riot and anarchy.
1t demands expensive protection, even
at the cost of blood, from the munich
palities and counties and state to which
1T is in arrears for taxes.
Likewise. it demands protection from
and even the control and use of the fed
eral government, the enormous debt to
which it has made no provision for pay
ing.
California has been very patient, but
the Southern Pacific has gone too far.

Nails Now Being Sent Out by the

San Francisco, July 5.-Coastwise and
even eastern mail is now coming into
and going out of San Francisco on
ocean steamers. The postal authorities
no longer hope for speedy resumption
of railroad traffic.
The steamer Walla Walla sailed for
Puget Sound this morning, with tons
of general mails for Washington, Idaho,
British Columbia and letter mail for
the east. The letter pouches will go
east over the Great Northern. Mails
for southern California were taken out
on the steamer Santa Rosa.
The Oregon mail was taken to Port
land on the steamer Truckee. Mails
also arrived by steamer from the north
and south. There is talk of sending the
incoming Australian steamer Monowai
to Puget Sound there to discharge her
eastern freight and mails.
The Monowai was due today. The
coastwise steamers are unable to meet
the demand for passenger transporta-

! Denver July 5.-An order was re-
ceived from President Debs of the A.

the Denver 81 Rio Grande road. Quick
ly the men were assembled, and it was
decided to go out in the morning. The
order affects $50 to $50 men.
A meeting of the local Knights of
Labor was held tonight. The leaders
of the organization are at Cheyenne,
and it was decided to take no action
until they should return with informa-
ton of the conference.
1t was the general opinion that the
order calling out the knights of La
Dor of the west was spurious, as Sow
erign has no power to take such ac-
ton.
Strikes can only be ordered by the
executive board.
