CHICAGO, July 4.-Taken in its en-
tirety the day has been quiet in strike
circles, barring an occasional furry
caused by gathering mobs in the stock
yard districts, which were held in
check by police and deputies
backed up by the near proximity
OF a detachment Of regulars from
Fort Sheridan for whom the strikers
have a wholesome respect. Trains are
once more moving at Blue Island, the
turbulent element having suddenly
simmersd down when confronted by
certain wicked looking pieces Of ordi-
mace and glitterIng bayonets.
The Chicago and Northwestern to-
day resumed its passenger service
which is now moving regularly and
without interference.
AFTER THE TROOPS DIsENiBARKED
At the stock yards strikers vented their
spleen by ditching the two rear coaches
OF the troops train and disabled engines
by showing coupling pins into the cross
heads, being careful, however, to
wait until the regulars had got
a safe distance away. The I'LL
noIs Central announces that con-
ditions on their lines are most IA
vorable and that suburban passenger
service will be resumed tomorrow
morning. The Santa Fe and the Alton
freight service is still seriously Grip
pied, though Santa Fe passenger
trains are moving on time.
The Baltimore and Ohio pass
senger service is normal, Nickel Plate
freight service is at a standstlll, and
passenger trains irregular. The Chi
cago & Calumet terminal is at a stand
still. The Michigan Central got out a
train of forty cars OF meat to-day; stu
alton improving.
The Pennsylvania Railroad announces
that they will begin moving perishaole
freight to and from Chicago tomorrow.
A late report tonight from Fifty
seventh street is that fast train No. z,
Lake Shore aud Michigan Southern,
from New York. is held there in the
hands OF mob aud the police
have been dispatched 10 the
scene. The Order Of Railroad
Conductors, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Brotherhood OF Railway
Trainmen, In a N Getting held in Contra
liza to-day, representing the Champaign n
district Of the Illinois Central railroad,
VOTED TO REMAIN AT WORK.

There were from $500 to 1900 pass
engers on the Chicago aud Alton block
ed at Bloomington. The c. & A. have
notified their men to report for duty
tomorrow morning. or consider them
selves discharged. If they do not re-
port for work men will be hired in their
places and open the road if necessar y
with the protection of United States
troops.
The general managers association,
after their meeting to-day, positively
announced its previous line of policy
regarding the present strike in the
strongest terms that they have yet
used. 1t is emphatically stated that
there is no compromise and DO surrender
contem plated or possible on the part of
the railroads.
Tomorrow an order will be entered
in the United States Court for special
grand Jury to investigate the railroad
strike. On Tuesday night, before leav-
ing the city, Judge Grosscup left in'
structions with Clerk Burnham to call a
grand Jury for next Tuesday. The in.
vestigation will be directed not merely
against the strikers who have resorted
to actual violence, but against
LEADERS OF THE BOYCOTT
Not only will men who violated the in
junction of the Federal Court by direct
interference with trains be presented
for indictment, but the government ha;
determined TO prosecute Debs and
the other leaders. Edwin
Walker, the special counsel oi
the government said that Debs' punish
ment Is certain. A charge Of criminal
conspiracy will DO brought against al
the officers Of the American Railway
Union. In addition to that they viii
be charged with violating the injunc-
tion and melting men 10 riot.
"We don't care so much about the
strikers" said Mr.. Walker, "out the
grand Jury will get after the leaders
We have a complete case against Debs
He has gone far enough to render him
self completely liable TO the law anc
there is 40 doubt Of his indictment FOL
the unlawful conspiracy of which h'
has been the head.
A telegram was received by Milchrist
District Attorney, this afternoon fro Il
Attorney General 0lney, directing hin
