 express companies have had the task in the past of transferring money from the Pennsylvania depot from the Bai" tfmore and Ohio depot to the sub treasury in the Rand. McNally building. Fearing that the express wagons might bo attacked or that the companies would be unable to fulhll their con- tracts regarding the transfer of money. the local treasury officials notified the Acting Secretary of the Treasury at Washington. Through him the War Department was consulted and orders given providing for the changed con- ditions. The Secretary of War wired Colonel Dugan, now commanding the Department of the Lake to use army wagons and a soldier guard If the ex- press wagons and their usual guards cannot be used.
 In the office of the United States Cir cult Court tonight 1t was said that the express companies would probably ap- ply tomorrow for injunctions restrain their wagons.

 From the appearance of the soldiers 1t was inferred that they had been Tn the city but few hours. None Of them were in possession of rifles or other arms. The uniforms, though, were spotlessiy clean and 1t was as- sumed that they had left the fort late last night or early this morning. In the corridG<= of the Great North l ern Hotel the story went the rounds that lights were seen burning on the upper floors of the new postoffce at an early hour. Guests in the hotel as- serted that several companies of troops were in the structure. Later it was said the soldiers had come to Chicago on social affairs.

Forbes Carriage Company. whose teamsters joined the ranks or | the strikers yesterday. He was later seen to leave the stables.
