! line as to Authority Over the Troops
Cleveland, July e9.-Slowly ant
surely law and order are triumphine
over the lawlessness and disorder, and
the city is beginning to assume Its
old time appearance. Yesterday the
street cars were well patronized, es-
peciaHy 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 we'll 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
ina controversy over what the troops
shall do and what they shall not do.
The adjutant 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 be Mayor
Farley holds that the troops are here
under his authority, and that they will
remain here until he feels that they
can be dispensed with. The respon-
sibility of preserving the order of the
city rests upon the shoulders of the
mayor, he says, and he proposes to
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 temporizing
with the lawless element Of the city
and will cause agitation which will
simply prolong the trouble. After the
breaches have been healed and quiet
has been absolutely restored the mayor
would not object to any kind of an in
vestigation upon the part of the coun-
ell, but he deems that the members
are treading on extremely dangerous
ground when they undertake to reopen
the discussion. -. 49,. .sss.l@-

every one present next Monday night
Perhaps new proposition will be sub
mitted asking the council to investi
gate not only the cause of the dis
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
man will not pay six cents for an ar J
ticle that can be purchased for five,
and man will not walk mile to
make a purchase when be can get what
he wants at quarter Of mile.
1t is said at the city hall that there
are quite number of the recent en-
ployes Of the street railway company
who could go back to work if 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
o the city. The explosion took place
1 short distance north of the Lake
Shore railroad, about two miles east
If the city limits The front truck was
and the floor of the car
shattered. There were no passengers
IN board and the motorman and con-
luctor escaped without injury.
