ENCOURAGING.
loontlnued from First Page. ]

lContinued from First Page.1 are organiz ized before they agree to the final settlement of the present strike. President Debs said last night that the report Of complication of grievances now existing was in part true,
 'tIn some parts our local unions will de- mand a readjustment of the wage scale be- fore they return to work, he said. But this demand will not be general, nor is it made part of the issue of the present struggle. It is not true that any officers of the union have sounded local unions ou such questions. In many places, however, the N age scale has been lowered so far that the men cannot longer stand It. The unions will not return to work until they get some satisfaction in that line. How ever, our fight now is for the down -trod- den Pullman employees, and we cannot let any other desires interfere in any way in the success of our fight for them.o
 In considerable number of instances the announcement of recent accessions to the strike ranks has been accompanied with the statement that the new strikers consider the movement opportune for them to make an effort to secure restora- t1on of amounts cut from their wages at different times during the past two years.
 MORE TROOPS.
 Tomorrow's sunrise will See in this city 1000 more federal troops than there were this morning. This, with the forces al- ready In the field, will suffice.
 It is believed tomorrow will see further betterment in the conditions in this city, and the mobilization of troops and marines at San Francisco and of the regulars Il other points on the Pacific coast will suffice, in all proba bility, to start traffic on the trans continen tai lines tomorrow.

 ORDER FROM GENERAL MILES RELATIVE TO THE PROCLAMATION OF THE
 PRESIDENT.
 CHICAGO, July 9.-This order was issued this afternoon by General Miles:
 "To all United states Troops Serving in the Department of Missouri:
 ''Ihe acts of violence committed during the past few days in the stopping of mail trains and post roads, the blocking of the interstate commerce, open defiance and violation of the injunction of the United States court, the assaults upon the federal forces in the lawful discharge of their du- ties, the destruction, pillage and footing of the inland commerce property belonging
 
 acts of rebellion and lawlessness have been of such serious character that the duties of the military authorities are more clearly defined.
 ''The proclamation of the president, the commander of the land and naval forces and stale militia is understood by the militia to be in the interest of humanity and to avoid the useless waste of life if possible. 1t is an executive order for all law abiding citizens 10 separate themselves from hn and those in anfunI hostility to the aciino of the United States court and the laws of the national govern ment.''
 'He has defined the attitude of these law breakers to be that of enemies of the government, and hence it is the duty of the military forces to aid the United States marshals to disperse, capture or destroy all bodies of men obstructing the mail routes and in actual hostility to the injunction of the United States court and the laws of the United States.
 "Ths does not change the relation of the federal officials with those of the local thorities, as 1t is expected that the state and municipal governments will maintain peace and good order within the territory of their jurisdiction. Should they fail or be overpowered the military forces will as- sist them, but not to the extent of leaving unprotected property belonging to or un- der the protection of the United States.
 ''The officer in the immediate command of troops must be the judge as to what use to make of the forces of his command in exe- cutting his orders, and in case serious ac- tion be required, and if there be time, he will communicate with hIs next superior for his instructions. The earnest efforts of the law biding citizens have done much to improve the condition of affairs during the last few days, and 1 earnestly request all law-abiding citizens to do whatever possi } ble to assist in maintaining the civil gov ernment and the authority of the munich pal, state and federal governments ill pre- serving peace and good order"
