Those VINO disregard this warn
ing and persist in taking part with
a rlotous mob in forcibly resist
ing and obstructing the executor
OF the laws Of the United States. Of
interfering With the functions o
the government, or destroying OF
attempting to destroy the property
belonging TO the United States Of
under its protection, cannot be re
garded otherwise than as pr0ll'
enemies.
Troops employed against such
riotous mob will act with all the
the moderation and tOrbearanc(
consistent with the accomplish
ment of the desired end, but the
necessities that confront them Will
not with certainty permit discrimi
nation between guilty participants
and those who are mingled with
them from curiosity and without
criminal intent. The only safe
course, therefore, for those not
actually un'awfully participating II
to abide ia their homes, or al least
not to be found in the neighbor-
hood of riotous assemblages.
While there Will be no hesita'
ton or vacillatlon in the decisive
treatment OF the guilty, this warn
IS especially intended to protect
and save the innocent.
In testimony whereof l have
hereunto set my hand and
CEASED the seal of the United
States to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this eighth dayof July, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight

States of America, the one hun

PROPERTY DESTROYED.
The number of cars on the Pan
handle road between Fifty-ffth
and Sixty.third streets destroyed
by FIRE Friday night is estimated
to have been from 1.2OO to l 500.
The total loss is said to be not less
than 100000. 1t is estimated
that besides the loss of rolling
stock, at least ten or twelve miles
of track is ruined. 1t is impossible
now to place any value on the
freight destroyed by the fire.
Wnole coal trains had been side
tracked in the yard, a nd they we've
destroyed.
\ reasonable esti mate OF tie
number of armed men now on duty
IN this city would be about l2,OOO
including 5000 miIitlamen, $500
policemen, 1000 regular army and
over 1000 deputy sheriff' and
marshals, besides, perhaps, 300
private watchmen and a small
army of detectives.
Less than 1000 tons of freight
Of all kinds was sent E lst for the
week ending Tlurs day night. One
must go back thirty years or more
to find a week when the east bound
shipments were so small. The
corresponding week a year ago
over $4,000 tons were forwarded,
that amount being the lowest on
record for n corresponding week
since three railroads have compel
ed for the business.
