CHICAGO, July ST believe the cri-
sis has been passed and that there will
be no more serious trouble" said Mayor
Hopkins tonight. The shooting into
the mob by State troops Saturday has
show the lawless element what it may
expect II it persists in its outbreaks
against law and order. The thugs and
criminals who haye been masquerading
as striking workmen evidently be-
lieved the soldiers would not fire on
them. Now they know better and
they will, il am not greatly mistaken,
be more careful in the future.
During the afternoon Mayor Hop
kins received from Governor Matthews,
OF Indiana, dispatch authorizing him
to send Illinois State troops into
the State OF Indiana at Ham
mond when necessary The Mayor
wired Governor Altgeld, and re-
ceived a reply saying that as
Hammond is practically part OF Chi
cago, be may use the Illinois State
troops in accordance with Governor
Matthews permission, whenever neces-
sary for the purpose OF sappressing law
lessness and restoring order In Illinois.
This plan of cooperation was neces-
STATED by the fact that as Hammond is
almost on the State line, the rioters
could-as they did to-day-commit all
manner Of deDredations in the yards
this side of the line, and upon the ap-
proach OF the Illinois militia, retreat
into Indiana. This is what necessitated
the calling OF federal troops to-day.
AT the headquarters of the General
Managers Association tonight it is
frankly admitted that not railroad Ii
Chicago is moving any trains except
under heavy military or police guard.
Most of the roads are getting through
limited number of passenger trains, but
tbs tie.up Of frssght business is practi-
cally complete.

sue. The telegram also begged

night and there may not be one for
several days. President Malacan has
decided that there is nothing 10 be
gained by calling out his men. The A.
