 HOPKINS SAYS HE WANTS MEN TO ACT AND NOT BLUFF.
 | CHICAGO, July 6.--Acting in pursuance 1 with orders issued by Governor Atgeld at o'clock today, Brgadier- General | Wheeler, of the First brigade, Illinois tlonal guards, reported at the office o. Mayor Hopkins at 1:45. The mayor, with his advisers and legal staff, immediately went Into conference with General | Wheeler. The orders are to call out the entire First brigade, consisting of three regiments Of infantry, one troop of cavalry. and Battery D.
 ders were issued to the First and Second regiments, including Company A of the cavalry and Battery D, to report to h. spector Hunt of the police department at Thirty ninth street and the Fort Wayne tracks al O clock sharp. The troops will be employed to reinforce the effort of the police department to clear the tracks south of Thirty ninth street. An order was also issued that the Seventh regiment should remain on waiting orders in the armory, The Third and Sixth infantry, under the command of Brigadier- General Welch, and which are now en route from Sireator, Joliet and other rajpis. will report to In- } speeE Ejtatzpatrick for ssice withiC>tAsnt Asnt , stock yards district proper. The outside troops are expected to arrive here by o'clock.
 While the conference was in progress in formation was received at the mayor officf that the mob in the lawless district was constantly increasing and that most of the rioters were armed. A bloody conflict to. night between the militia and the mol seems inevitable. -..,f.,
 Mayor Hopkins announced today that he had called for the troops in order to dis he Qxr1fr haa Sit,e. ace to pubic safety. When asked if he would act in concert with the federal troops or ignore them entirely in sending out militia, he replied significantly; "We know nothing about the federal troops they were brought here for purpose. They sit on top of the cars. We want men who will get down on the ground and do their duty.''
 While no clash is expected to occur be. tween the state and federal troops it is plainly the intention of the municipal and state authorities to show their resentment of federal invasion by entirely ignoring the regulars. The state troops will be assigned | to guard duty wherever deemed best, re- gardless of the presence or absence of the government men. The orders to be given will be to disperse the mobs at any cost and to permit of no disturbances of any sort. Instead of permitting the men to ride about in trains and "bluff' the crowds with a show of strength the mayor says he intends to cause the militia to thoroughly and ef- Actually preserve the peace and end the rioting, whether on railroad or private prop | erty or in the streets.
 General Wheeier's instructions from the mayor are to act in full capacity as city police, and the orders are expected to be carried out in full.
 General Miles knew nothing about the calling out of the state militia by the gov ernor until shown the news dispatch from Springfield. He said that he did not be- lIeve that there would be any conflict be- tween either the intention or action of the federal and state troops. The duty of the federal troops was clearly defined in the presidents dispatch to Governor Altgeld, and that duty is simply to prevent interfer- ence with the mails and the interstate com merce.
 The duty of the state troops, on the other hand, is to prevent the destruction of prop erty and to preserve peace and order. General Miles therefore considers that the federal and state troops will work in co- each other. He regards it as probable that General Wheeler will call upon him in con- ference before issuing any specific orders for the employment of the militia. x ] TROOPS BEING MoBILIzED. | CHICAGO, July 6.-Two companies of regular infantry from Fort Brady, Mich s arrived in Chicago this morning at 8 O.
