surely law and order are triumphlng
over lawlessness and disorder and the
city is beginning to resume its old time
appearance. To-day the street cars
were well patrqnized. especially during
the busy hours of the morning and
evening. This is said to be the best In
dlcatIOn that the movement 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 yestlge of disorder is wiped
away. The mayor and Adjutant Gem
eral Axline are at present involved in a
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 mere
~ 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 says they will remain
here until he feels that they can be
dispensed With The responsibility Of
preserving the order of the city rests
upon the shoulders Of the mayor, he
says, because he proposes to see that
his plans are not lnterfered with by any
ope 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. To-day the mayor
refused to discuss the difficulty. saying
that this was not the time to stir up
any dIscord.
Mayor Farley's Position.
~ will merely relterate my statement
Of last night" said the mayor. this is
time for every man to mind his own
business"
Rumors to the effect that the city
!. COUNCIL vii. etideaYo; to reconsider the
resolutlon of ThurSday night, reached
the ears Of the mayor to-day 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 temporarizlnB
with the lawless elemento Of the city and
win cause agitation which WIN simply
prolong the trouble.

and quiet has been absolutely restored,
the mayor would not object to any kind
OF an investigation upon the part of the
council, but he deems that the members
ore treadlng on extremely dangerous
ground when they undertake to reopen
the discussion.
It 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.
A New Proposition.
Perhaps a new proposition will be
submitted asking tho council to inves-
tigate 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 em-
ployes at the end Of the first strike.
The mayor takes little interest In the
talk Of boycotting merchants. He be-
Ilsyes that just as soon as quiet is re-
stored and the fever gone all such talk
will cease A boycott, he feels, is
against natural laws; that man will
not pay six cents for an article that
can be purchased for fve, and man
win not walk mile to mako purchase
when he can get what he wants at
quarter OF mile.
II IL said at the city hall that there
are quite number Of the recent em-
.ployes Of the street railway company
who would go back to work II permit
ted, but that they are hindered BY
,threats by some Of the more radical
amployes and the leaders of the strike.
A car returning from Euclid Beach
Park was blown up by dynamite about
ii O'Clock tonight while returning to
the city. The explosion took place
short distance north Of the Lake Shore
railroad, nbout two miles east OF the
city limits. Tho front truck was de-
mollshed and the floor OF the car shat-
tered. There were no passengers on
board and tho motorman and conductor
escaped without injury.
Troops VIII bc Withdrawn.
According to General Axline the
withdrawal OF the troops will begin
mex, Monday unless the conditions
change very materially from their pres
ont status.
"Ths acts OF violence Nro becoming
much less frequent" said General Ak
line to-day, "and the situation is quite
encouraging"
Unless the unexpected should turn up
the troops will be gradually withdrawn
next wosk. We do not expect any more
serious trouble. but of course, we can't
tell what may happen"
Battery u and Troop A, of the First
Ohio cavalry, were to-day relieved from
further strike duty.

rapidly. II Ia not only being put IN
