A "zki" Shot by a sentry.
CHICAGO, July 12.-Affairs at General
Miles's headquarters have about reached
their normal state again, the greater part
of the excitement attendant upon the strike
and the arrival Of troops having subsidized.
The experience of many of the officers, es-
pecially from the Western forts, is in the
nature of a summer outing. Many of them
are being entertained at the down town
clubs and their service here is, on the
whole, rather pleasant than otherwise. The
Chicago. Iroquois, Union League, Chicago
Athletic and other clubs have extended
their privileges and nearly all the officers
are taking advantage of them.
Lieutenant Schaafner, of the Illinois mill
tia, was to-day notified that two one-pound
rapid-firing Hotchkiss guns with field car
riages and ammunition had been shipped
him from Washington. The naval militia
is doing strike duty along the water front
and in the harbor along the southern sec
ton. heretofore the organization has not
been fully equipped.
Mentor Meyer, a member of the naval
reserve, was drowned, last night, near the
battleship Illinois, at Jackson Park. He
had been assigned to duty on the crib off
Hyde Park, but was on relief at the time of
the accident. About shutdown he went in
bathing and was attacked by cramps. He
was drowned before his comrades could
reach him and ,.ie body has not been re-
covered. Durig the night volleys were fired
from the batt1eship for the purpose of rails
ing the body, but the attempt was not sue
cessful. The loud reports alarmed residents
of the southern district and all kinds of
stories were afoat regarding the cause of
the shooting. 1t was thought that the fir
ing was in the stock yards, but an investi-
cation revealed that the guns had not been
fired in that part of the city.
A sentry, stationed one block south of
Forty-ninth street, on the Panhandle tracks,
was fired at to-day by some one in am
bush. The shot went wide of its mark, but
the sentry fired in return. Later John
Stephanizki was located with a bullet hole
in his hand. He is supposed to have fired
the shot at the sentry. He was not ar
rested.

PLENTY OF IDLE MEN.
Chicago Railways Hiring All They
Need-Mr. Egnn,s Statement.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The railroads center
ing in Chicago claim that they are able to
hire all the help they need. AT the office
of the general managers the estimate is
made that eighteen or twenty thousand
men identified with Chicago railroads in
the Chicago territory went on strike. The
employment agency created by the asso-
citation has hired $500 to 5000 men and dis
tributed them among the railroads, and the
companies, acting on their own RESPONSE
biIity, have hired probably double that num-
Der. making about seven to eight thousand
in all. The association bureau has assigned
the largest numbe of men TO the Atchison.
Next in order is the Wabash. and then the
Great Western, the Chicago & Northern
Pacific and the Illinois Central in the or
der named.
General Manager Egan to-day said: The
railroads at this juncture are in much the
position of a merchant whose place of bus
mess has been burned down. He rebuilds at
once, but the reconstruction takes time.
and when he is ready to begin business
again it will take some little time addi-
tional for the public to become accustomed
TO .he new order of things and feel a full
sense of restored confidence as of yore. The
railroads have plenty OF help TO take care
of The traffic now Offering. AS this traffic
enlarges they viii need more men. That
they Will De able TO get all the men they
will require Is a proposition that does not
admit of the shadow OF a doubt. They
could dOubIe their force in fOrty-eight
hours If there should be occasion for such
rapid increase. We consider the strike over.
though k would be Jolly to assume that
the effects of the trouble can be efIaced at
once"
Tina General Managers Association has
decided 10 discontinue it's bu-
rcau. alleging that the strike troubles are
now practically over. The general man.
ayers say the railroads are now practically
i'm their usual operation, and have no fur
ther need of the assistance which the bu-
reau has been giving them.
In the accomplishment of men the rail
road companies have not considered the
question of wages, the old scale being paid
excepting In possibly two or three cases.

lenge.
