WASHINGTON. July S-The Presi-
dent issued at midnight a proclamation
which practically declares Chicago un-
der martial law. This action was ta-
ken after a long night conference with
the Cabinet at the White House.
The proclamation is printed else
where in The World. MAJ. -Gen. Scho-
field. commanding the United States
Army. was present at the Cabinet
meeting to advise the President as to
the location of the troops and the time
required to place them In Chicago.
Before the Presidents proclamation
was given to the public kilograms were
sent by Gen. Schofleld ordering troops
from Sacketts Harbor. New York. ana
other points to start westward imme-
diately. Gen. Howard. commanding the
Division of the Atlantic. was wired at
Governors Island to order other regi-
ments under his command to prepare
to move at q moments notice. BY to-
morrow noon the Federal troops In Chi
cage will number fully 4,OU0. t glt -
!. The Presidents proclamation came Al
n complete surprise. but from the prepn-
ration OF the army to put 1t In force IL
Is apparent that the Administration II
satisfied that the situation does not ad.
init Of further tampering on the part OF
the Federal troops, In SO far as they
have authority to interfere. The Presi-
dent In issuing the proclamation Is act
Ing under the authority of sections 6.29S
and 5,a99 of the Revised Statutes. printed
in to-day World. 4,54.
None OF the Cabinet officers would dis
~ u llf In
on the highest authority that the Presi-
dent and the Cabinet were induced to
take this step by representations of Gen.
Miles. IN commSnd at Chicago, that the
efficiency of the troops would be In
creased by such action on the part of the
Government. ..r. .-. st.s
The proclamation in no sense confers
power upon the Federal troops to super
sede the authority of the State and local
militia and police, nor does 1t relieve
the local authorities OF their response
bility. Ir oroer to guard against any
possible misinterpretation of the Presi.
dents proclamation. the following des-
patch. which was sent by Secretary La
mont to Gen Miles tonight. was given
out at the White Houses:
I'm view OF the provisions OF statute
and for the purpose of giving ample
warning to call innocent and well-dis-
posed persons, the President has deemed
IL best to issue the following proclama-
ton tonight. This does not change
the scope of your authority and duties
ncr your relations to the local authors
ties. You viii please make this known
to Mayor Hopkins" ...y '.lrs
The report that Secretary OF the Navy
Herbert went to NeWYGrk TO urge Mr..
pullman on behalf of the President
to agree 20 arbitration cannot be con-
iirmed. Even II the report were true
IL is believed that developments within
tho past twenty-four hours have had
the effects OF keeping such unofficial
statements in allegiance. Secretary Her
bert declines to say word about the
report, and the other Cabinet officers
are equally close mouthed. .-r.
The sections of the Statutes under
which the President has acted are these:
section 5,2Ys. -WheRever. by reason OF
