Cleveland. July 29.-slowly and
surely law and order are trtumphing
over the lawlessness and disorder, and
the city is beginning to assume its
old time appearance. Yesterday the
street cars we're well patronized, es-
pecially during the busy hours OF the
morning and evening This Is said
to be the best indication that the gov
ernment is winning in the struggle.
Mayor Farley is well pleased with
the situation, but he has not relaxed
his vigilance one whit and will not
until the last vestige OF disorder is
wiped away. The mayor and Adjutant
General Axline are at present involved
in a controversy over what the troops
shall do and what they shall not do.
The adiutant general is Of the opinion
that the duty OF the National Guard
is merely to put down rioting, and not
to do police duty. Whatever the duty
of the National Guard may he Mayor
Farley holds that the troops are here
under his authority, and that they VIII
remain here until he feels that they
can be dispensed with. The respon-
sibility of preserving the order of tho
city rests upon the shoulders OF the
mayor, he says, and he proposes to
see that HIS plans are not interfered
with by any one. He declares that he
is to be the Judge as to when the
troops are not wanted. There have
been several outbreaks between Mayor
Farley and Adjutant General Axline
within the last few days over this
question.
Rumors to the effect that the city
council will endeavor to reconsider the
resolution of Thursday night reached
the ears of the mayor yesterday and he
did not like them. The mayor feels
that he has the situation well in hand,
and he fears that any action of the
council whatever will be temporizlng
with the lawless element Of the city
and will cause agitation which will
simply prolong the trouble. After u ?
breaches have been healed and qui
has been absolutely restored the may
would not object to any kind of an
vestigation upon the part of the coun-
Gil, but he deems that the members
are treading on extremely dangerous
/ ground when they undertake to reopen
the discussion.
II is said that any such resolution
as was proposed the other night can be
| adopted with a full council meeting
| and efforts are to be made to have
| every one present next Monday night
Perhaps a new proposition will be sub
mitted asking the council to investi-
| gate not only the cause of the dis
| turbances, but also the causes leading
| to the violation of the agreement en-
| tered into by the company and its
| employees at the end of the first strike.
The mayor takes but little interest
/ in the talk of boycOtting merchants.
He believes that just as soon as quiet
| is restored and the fever is gone all
| such talk will cease. A boycott, he
| feels, is against natural laws, that a
man will not pay six cents for an ar
ticle that can be purchased for five,
and a man will not walk a mile to
make purchase when he can get what
| he wants at a quarter Of mile.
1t is said at the city hall that there
are quite a number of the recent en-
| ployes OF the street railway company
who could go back TO work IL permit
| ted, but that they are hindered by
threats from some of the more radical
employees and the leaders of the strike.
A car returning from Euclid Beach
Park was blown up by dynamite about
! II o'clock last night while returning
to the city. The explosion took place
q short distance north Of the Lake
Shore railroad, about two miles east
Of the city limits. The front truck was
demolished and the floor OF the car
shattered. There were no passengers
on board and the motOrman and con-
ductor escaped without injury.
