pitched battle was the result. The mum.
Der killed and wounded NAV never be
known as the mob carried off a number
oil men who were seen to fall.
General Miles communicated with
President Cleveland tonight. The Pres
ldent directed him 10 protect the Gov
eminent buildings in Chicago and EN-
force Interstate commerce law. The U.
3. soldiers will not charge on the nobs
unless requested to by the Mayor.
Messers. Debs and Sovereign tonight
t~elegraphed a settler to President Cleve-
land. They charge Cleveland with act
ing in the interests of railroads which
are forcing the laborers to the verge OF
starvation. They deny that the strikers
are interfering with the transmission OF
mails, and say: "By your acts insofar
as you have supplanted the civil and
State authorities with Federal military
power the spirit of unrest and destruc-
tion has so far been augmented that a
deep seated conviction is becoming prev
alent that this Government is soon to b.
declared a military despotisn."
The authorities tonight stated that
Debs will not be arrested at present.
United States Marshal Arnold and
General Miles, after a consultation at
military headquarters, decided to send
to all roads which are tied up and
clear yards and tracks. The plan is to
send n company of troops to each de-
pot, along with forty deputy m~arshals.
Trains will then be started on each road
and the military and Marshals will clear
The yards and tracks of crowds. The
soldiers will have orders to fire upon
any one who disobeys when ordered to
railroad property.
The Journal says President Debs today
tent word to labor organizations of the
West, North and South Side street rail-
ways and the elevated roads to be ready
walk out Monday.
President Gompers of the American
Federation OF Labor will probably be
lere tomorrow. The new complication
lew feared is the calling out OF all labor
organizations. That would vastly in
the crowds and embarrass the
handling OF the disorderly element.
The number of cars or the Panhandle
Dad burned last night is estimated at
rom 100 to 1900. The total loss is not

trations at San Jose having tied up even
he Coast Division.
At Sacramento there has been no fur
her trouble, neither the U. S. Marshal
or State militia having made any effort
ince the riots of Wednesday to assist
he company in moving trains. The
outhern Pacific managers have appar-
thrown ap the sponge until some
ettlement of the trouble shall be arriv-
d at in the East. The strikers at Sac
are as determined as ever.
iany of them are heavily armed with
vinchesters and openly threaten to re-
list any effort TO move any trains.
The strikers have established soup
itchens zeal the depot. They are also
oliciting the people of Sacramento for
