Alton, the Pan Handle. the Western Indi-
ana, the Rock Island, the Monon, all expe-
renced difficulty, in greater or less degree

day.
Two Killed at KensingtOn.
The assaults of the mobs, however, were
not met with the passive resistance which
characterized the course pursued yesterday.
On two occasions, at least, their attacks
We're met with accurately aimed lead. Dur
ing q riot in the forenoon over an incoming
milk train at Kensington a deputy United
States marshal shot and killed two strikers.
and during the afternoon the deputies guard
ing an incoming Baltimore and Ohio pas
senger train replied to the volley of shots
and stones which the strikers sho"ered
upon them by turning their revolvers loose,
killing four of their assallants ana wound
ing a number of others.
Late this afternoon the Second regiment,
state militia, was ordered to the stock
yards.
Extending Eastward.
OF the situation in general. the strike
may be said to have strengthened its grip
It's most significant fea ture is the carrying
of the strike east to Cleveland, tying up
all the connections OF the seaboard trunk
lines there, with the promise that ny To-
morrow it will reach the trunk INES thein-
selves. and so practically reach the Atlahtic
seaboard by tying UP the roads at Bunalo
Thus the strike would be extenoed AEoih
ocean to ocean.
uaSernI E,roops ON the Lake Front.
Two companes of regular infantry from
Fort Brady Mich arrived in Chicago tnls
norning and at o'clock marched from Inc
North western depot to the lake irolie "
ioin the troops modified there under deh-
eral Miles's command.
Four companies of infantry from LeaVen-
worth ordered here yesterday, aIiiSeu
about o'clock this morning on the burning
ton road, were switched on to the tracks
of the Illinois Central asd un!0adeo AT
the Central station of that road at PARK
Row. They Immediately went into camp
at the lake front, and, with their tents and
stacked arms, added much to the Warlihe
appearance Of the grounds.
The complete roster Of troops now mobll-
lied on the lake front is as follows:
Troop X Seventh cavalry, and Battery h,
First artillery, from Fort Sheridan.
Two companies, infantry, Nineteenth regl-
ment, from Fort Brady, Mich.
Two companies Of infantry. Fifteenth
regiment.
Five companies of infantry of various
regiments from Fort Leavenworth.

ignoring the Federal Troops.
sIayor Hopkins announced today that he
hat called for the troops in order to dis
perse the mobs which are becoming men
ace to public safety. When asked If he
would act in concert with the federal troops
or ignore them entirely in sending out the
militia he replied Significantly:
1--WE know nothing about the federal
troops They were brought here tor
purpose They sit on top Of cars. we
want men who will get down upon the
ground and do their duty"
General Miles, therefore, considers that
the federal and state troops will work IN
cooperative way without interference
with each other. He regards it as probable
that General Wheeler will call upon him
in conference before issuing any specific
orders for the employment OF the militia.

a rush the mob started southwark. BuncheS
OF waste were stolen from the sWitchmeh's
shanties, and, soaked with the dope USED
in oiling cars, made an excellent torch.
At Forty-seventh street. i've cars stand
ing on the Grand Trunk track, were IFSt to
meet destruction. Some Of them were load
ed The seals were broken and the doors
slid back. A bunch OF the burning waste
thrown inside quickly ignited the contents,
and in less than three minutes the five
ears were blazing flercalV.
And the Crowd BuShed On.
Without waiting to see that their work
was complete, the crowd surged on. They
kept to the Pan Handle tracks, and at
