Effect on Freight Traffic. Chicago, July 10.

Passenger Trains Moving Troops Guard ing Union Pacific Employes Entire Illinois Militia Ordered Ont. Chicago, July 10. Peace reigns in Warsau. The same cannot be said of Chicago, for the tread of armed men is still heard in her streets and the wheels of commerce still lag at the bid of the A. R. 17. Nevertheless the warcloud which has overhung this city and this land for the past 10 days show distinct signs of lifting. Instead of stories of additional railroads tied up at various points throughout the country Monday's dis patches almost without exception brought advices of strikers returning to work and an increase resumption of traffic, amounting in some places to a return to normal conditions. The day in Chicago passed without a serious con flict between the roiters and the armed forces now on duty here. The feature of the day was the action early Monday morning, after an all night's session of the federated trades union of Chicago, in deciding to call out all classes of labor on Tuesday at 4 o'clock unless George M. Pullman should have agreed before the meridian of that day to settle the differences between his company and his striking employes by arbitration or otherwise. General Walkout Postponed. For reasons not known to the public, Grand Master Workman Sovereigu of the Knights of Lalxr and his advisers subsequently decided to iostpone the gen eral walkout and n paralytic stroke which they propose to inflict upon the business of Cliicago until 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. Late Monday afternoon the atfiiouuccment was made that President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has called a meeting of the executive board of that body to be held in this city on Thursday and that he is now enroute from New York to Chicago. In viow of this it is not believed that tho federated trades of Chicago will take precipitate action before his arrival. As Gompers cannot reach Chicago before Wednesday night, it will bo impossible to decide on a line of action to be pursued before Thursday and probably if it should finally be resolved to declare a general strike of all these combined forces, it could not be put into effect before Fri day morning In this connection the interesting question arises whether or not if Presi dent Gompers allows himself to be hauled from New York to Chicago by nonunion engineers and firemen, his visit will be cf any particular profit. One leader in Chicago said that if he did bo he might as well stay in New York. Many Would Decline to Obey. Another feature to be noted iu con nection with federated labor is the fact which was developed that there was in the meeting a large and influential con servative element, vvhose action had practically blocked the plans of the more hotheaded leaders until the latter, iu the excitement consequent upon the reading of President Cleveland's procla mation, were enabled to stampede them and carry the strike resolution. There fore there is reason that even if the order for a general strike goes forth many of those to whom it is directed will decline to oley it. So that with tlio men nlrcady mado idlo ly tlia oft'oot of the tieup the walkout will not bo nearly 60 important as anticipated by tho leaders. What effect, if any. the action of Vice President Wickes. of the Pullman com pany, in refusing in the most positive manner to even meet a committee to consider the quetion of arbitration will have upon the final decision of the labor leaders and their followers remains to Imj seen. Monday night's action of the city coun cil in" rosp?ct to President Cleveland's or der bringing federal troops to Chicago was forestalled by a large number of in dorsements of his action sent him by prominent business men of the city. The list of signatures include those of almost every conspicuous merchant, manufact urer and banker of Chicago. PaeiiRrr "rnlim Moving. Touching the situation in general, it may be said that in Chicago tho roads were all doing better than on any pre vious day since the strike begun. Pas senger trains were moving with more or less regularity, and some freight traffic has been cared for. A large number of striking freight handlers of the Illinois Central returned to work, and other roads noted accession to their operative forces. At St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver it was reported that railroad business had abont returned to normal conditions. Nashville also reported an improvement. About the only points at which the strike managers showed any gain were the partial walkout of firemen 'at Fort Scott, the freight men on the Kenawha and Michigan at Charleston, W. Ya.. and the strike of the A.. R. U. men on the Big Four at Mattoon. It will thus be seen that at the lpading railroad centers the strikers have made percepti ble losses, while their gains are at com paratively unimportant points. Regnla- tions which prevail in the government building are a near approach to martial law. Deputy marshals are stationed on ever- floor and everybody is challenged who cannot show that he has business in the bnildiug. Managers' Side of the Story. John 31. Egau of the Association of Railway General Managers, when asked for an official statement of The conditions of the roads represented in that associa tion, said: "With the exception of two or three minor instances there was no trouble or disturbance reported Monday. All the iinea ran their regular passenger ana mail trains'and a number of lines resumed their suburban trains. All of the lines commenced work in theii freight yards and many freight trains were run in and out of the city. The Union Stockyards company are clearing their tracks of wreckage and repairing damage done during the past week. "The total number of trains that ar rived were equal to the total moved in the four days previous. It is true that trains have been guarded to prevent their being molested, but the action of the military towards the mobs and rioters during the past two days have had a most salutary effect. The president's proclamation, together with General Miles orders, have produced excellent results. The men who have replaced the strikers are good men and satisfac tory to the lines that have emploved them." nebs Feels Confident. President E. V. Debs of the A. R. TJ., when seen said: 'We are stronger than ever: nothing can break our forces but usurpation and tyranny. I am threat ened Avith srrest What for? For or ganizing labor. We say to capital, Here is our labor and these are our IC1UU, 0f the terms.' Tms is lesral this is tlie snirit age. Mr. Havemeyer organizes a sugar busi ana says xo in putttlC, . . A A 3 . .. .-. TTari tc mtr wrirrui- iinil triooA flra mv terms.' He has "polluted tho national , le . lature Ibave acted honorahly and committed no crime. The United States , authorities are bringing, themselves into contempt by their wanton violation of , a th' constitution The coinmon people are beginning to understand this. Capital insists upon looking upon labor as it did upon slavery, that it has no right like capital to ask or exact terms. This is the principal of slavery. "I want to call the attention of tho J people of this country to this: The Pull man strike is not the underlying cause of this trouble. The people of this country are paying over $5,000,000 a day in in terest. This is draining productive in dustry of its profit and is piling up money in the money centers. What old England failed with soldiers in the Eighteenth century, she is doing now with the gold standard. Over $200,000. 000 a year goes there to pay .interest. We are not responsible for the lawless ele ment and loss of property. Not even dis ciplined armies have ever been able to keep this element from rising. We ask the public to be patient while labor stands with its back at the door that leads to serfdom and says to its oppress ors, 'Thus far and no farther.' It is better to lose a little now than more in the end, and with it constitutional lib erty." At about midnight Monday a crowd of Poles and Hungarians gathered at Ash land avenue and the Grand Trunk tracks and before the authorities were warned, had torn up several hundred feet of track. A company from the Second regiment charged the crowd and dis persed it after linng several shots. No one wa3 hurt as far as known. WILL CONFER WITH DICKINSON Representatives of Federated Board In Omaha to Meet Union Pacific Manager. Omaha. July 10. George W. Vro mau, chairman of the grievance commit tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; S. D. Clark, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; J. N. Corbin, general secretary of the Union Pacific Employes' assembly No. 82, Knights of Labor: C. A. M. Petrie, chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen; F. E. Gilliland, chairman of the Federated Board and of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, tmd J. L. Kis Bick, chainifin of the Order of Railway Conductors, came to Omaha Monday night as representatives of the Federated Board to hold by appointment a confer ence with General Manager Dickinson. They state that the object will be to discuss means of assisting the manager and the receivers in restoring complete harmony and regular traffic on the Union Pacific system. They say that in no event will the organizations compris ing tho federated board now walk out. Having agreed with the court they will now if a grievance arises submit it to the court. They condemn the method pursued by Debs in involving parties not directly interested in the fight with Pull man, and declare that if Sovereign should call out the Knights of Labor the call would be of no effect on the Union Pacific svstem. Will Obey the Board a Decision. CnEYEN'x-:, Wy., July 10. The Union Pacific from Cheyenne to Ogden is jirac tically open for business again and train service is in operation. The fire men and switchmen at Laramie, Raw lins and Green River, who went out, have signified their intention of return ing to work in accordance with the fed erated board's decision. Entire Illinois Militia Out. SitMXGFiELD, Ills., July 10. Upon the request of Mayor Hopkins of Chi cago, Governor Altgeld has ordered out all the remaining regiments of militia in the state, ordering General Barkley, commanding the Second brigade, to proceed at once to Chicago with all his brigade excepting five companies on duty at interior points. Guarding Uniou Pacific Employes. Laramie, Wyo.. July It. Company C of the Eighth United States mfautry is Btationed in this city to guard trains and give protection to the employes of the Union Pacific. A passenger and mail train arrived from the east Monday afternoon and fonr freight trains were sent west, the first moved in 10 days. Clerks Made Dp Meat Trains. Chicago. July 10. Messrs. Armour, Swift and Morris had their clerks and office employes make up trains ot dressed meat and they were sent out. They have also instructed their country agents to resume shipments.

Ignoring the difference in freight against the American woolgrower, the Australian woolgrower has the advan tage of pasture all the year round, the pasture iu Australia being better in winter than in summer. Tho wool grower in Australia rents his laud from the government for a smaller charge than the Ohio woolgrower in many cases pays in taxes alone, and the latter, ow ing to our rigorous winter climate for five mouths in the year, feeds his sheep hay and grain, nearly the whole of which is labor. It costs nothing to grow hay or grain. Nature does that. Tho main cost to the farmer of hay and grain is in the preparing of the land, in cultivating, in harvesting and the feeding, which are all labor, and which represent 90 per cent of the whole cost of production, the remaining 10 per cent representing interest and taxes. Under these conditions the cost of rais ing wool in the United States is at least 11 cents per pound in actual outlay greater than the cost of raising the same class of wool in Australia or the Argen tine Republic, and the McKinley tariff law placed the duty of 11 cents per pound on imported unwashed wool to put tho American woolgrower on even terms with his foreign competitor. The latter has advantages of cheap land, of climatic condition and cheaper freight, which to him are fully equivalent to 11 cents per pound. A Sweet Tooth. rif"-1. 1, , i Tiiii li v i II iill KnJKc j?55 ;r -1 THE SUN SHINES. NEW YORK PAPER OWNS UP TO ITS BLUNDER. It Helped to Elect Grover Cleveland as 7jTsident and Now Tears Its Candidate to Pieces Facts That Ought to Have Been Discovered Year Ago. Tho exposure by the New York Sun May 2G cf the socialistic teachings of Grover Cleveland deserves more than a ' mere passing recognition. Only two years ago The Sun waged a vigorous warfare against the prosperity of the , United States by advocating the election ' of Mr. Cleveland to the office of presi dent of the United States. It did so largely by creating class discrimination, and its cry of "No force bill! No negro ' domination! will be long remembered. It set the south against the north. It advocated a policy that has damaged and destroyed the mauufacrurine and the wage earning interests in both sec tions. It descended to the level of the pro-English and anti-American organs that disgrace tho American press of to day, yet which vere successful in the campaign of 1892. It is indeed gratifying to know, though two years late, that The Sun finds tho idol which it shono npou in 1892 to be mere clay, dross or brass. But this should have been discovered sooner. It was just as easy for The Sun to refer to tho speeches and letters of tho presidential candidate in 1892 as it is to do this in 1894. Tho documents of 1SSG, of 1888, of 1891, of April and July, 1892, were all at the disposal of The Sun as matters of public record prior to November, 1892. The Sun knew then, or should havo known, tho char acter of the man whom it wished to elect to the high office of president and that his teachings wero "the teachings ' of the disturbers of society, and some times such teachings bear terriblo fruit. " Thei'o can be no excuse whatever for a journal of the high standing of the New York Sun lor advocating such teachings through its candidate. They ' wero un-Amcricaa and should "have found no place either directly or indi- j rectly in the columns of a reputable American journal. Wo trust this will j prove a lesson to all American newspa pers such as are truly American and have the interests of their country at heart. It is far better to take the trou blo to ascertain whether tho candidate for tho high ofiica of president has at any time been a socialistic agitator, an advocate of anarchy, a promoter of strife or a disturber of classes before his elec tion than it is to do this after his elec tion. Tiie light has coma T ho splutterings of the fag ends of the candle are ex tinguished. Now the light is good. The light is divided from tho darkness. Let The Sun so shine. WITH WOOL ON THE FREE LIST. Sheep Will Be Sent to Market and Our Flocks Forever Disappear. If wool be put on the free list, the American woolgrower will have to submit to the disadvantages of raising wool iu this climate on even terms with his foreign rivals, who do not liave such difficulties to contend with, and so with out adequate protection must necessari ly bo driven out of tho business. Our seventh largest agricultural industry, producing annually $60,000,000 worth of wool and representing an investment of $ 100, COO, 000 in sheep, will be de stroyed by free trade. Sheep will be fattened and will then bo sent to market as food, and flocks will disappear forever. Our food supply will iu time thus ba decreased, and our manufacturers eventually will be driven to buy their wool in London or in Aus tralia. Gold will be thus sent out of the country again, increasing tho harmful influences that must follow with the balance of trade permanently against us. The woolgrowers will be forced into some other industry. They will proba bly plow up their present sheep pastures when tho laud is suitable and raise wheat, of which wo already havo an overproduction and a surplus, aud the probabilities are that iu consequence of the great increase in our surplus of wheat in a short time wo will have only 40 cent wheat. It is to the interest of American farmers to diversify their industries and to produce such articles as will find a market at homo instead of abroad. Tho farmer who can sell di rect to the consumer closo to his home saves the middleman's profits and the cost of transportation, which otherwise always lesaen tho net price to him when he has to find si market abroad. Pledged to Free Trade. Australasian Wool Exports. The latest available statistics of ex ports of colcuial wool from all sources for a period of nine months ending March 31 in each of the given years show tho following: SINE MONTHS.

Comparing these nine months exports with tho total clips for the entire season, given elsewhere, we find that only 07,000 bales remained on hand on March ai, 1894, as compared with 115,000 bales on hand a year ear lier aud 137,000 bales not exported on March 31, 1892. Perhaps tho recent hard times in the colonies have com pelled the quicker marketing of the clip this last season so as to secure prompt returns for the owners. A Mischievous Man.

SENATOR ALLEN'S AMENDMENT. Naval Cadets Mut Ite Actual Resident oi Their District Two Years Before Theii Appointment Pamed the Mining Claim Bill Difference on the Tariff Discussed. Striker Going IRto Court. Washington', July 10. After the transaction of some business of minor importance Monday the senate took up the naval appropriation bill. White (Ual.) called attention to the action of the com mittee in striking out the appropriation of $30,000 for a steam tug to Mare Isl and navy yard and had read a letter from the secretary of the navy indorsing the necessity for the tug. The appropriation was allowed to stand. Senator Allen offered an amendment, which was agreed to, providing all ap pointees as naval cadets shall have been actual residents of the district from which they are appointed for at least two years prior to their appointment. The bill, as amended, was passed. The senate passed a house bill relative to miniug claims. It provides for the temporary suspension of the requirement that a certain sum of money shall be ex pended each year on mining claims until a patent shall have been granted. Senator Blackburn announced the death of Representative Marcus C. Lisle (Ky.) last Saturday, and after the adop tion of the customary resolutions the senate adjourned. Differences on the Tariff Discussed. Washington, July 10. The first day of the conference of the Democratic con feres of the two houses was without practical results or visible progress so far as can be learned. The day was de voted to a general discussion of the main features of the bill and the principal points of differences between the two honas. The conference on the part of the representatives was used to point out the radical change in the policy involved in the senate's departure from the free raw materials and the ad valorem sys tem, and they asserted that the senate bill was not all the country demanded in the way of tariff reform. The senate representatives said it was the most rad ical bill that could be passed in the sen ate and announced a determination to stand for tho bill practically as it passed the senate. Treasury Officials Encouraged. Washington, July 10. The net cash balance in the treasury at the close of business Monday was $l21,.ri03,:J22, of which $04,241,406 was gold reserve. This is an increase in the cash balance since June 27 of nearly $7,500,000, and an increase in the gold reserve since June 23 of nearly $2,230,000. The treasury officials are greatly encouraged at the seeming cessation of the gold ex port movement and the great increase in internal revenue receipts and are very confident these conditions added to the probable early passage of the new tariff bill will result in a large increase of the cash balance and the gold reserve. Strikers Coins Into Court. Washington, July 10. The state ment is telegraphed here from California that the strikers are about to apply to the United States court to compel the Southern Pacific railway company to show cause why they should not b9 com pelled to operate their road under the terms of their charter. This was not disagreeable news to the war depart ment and they rather hoped that such a step would be taken for it would oblige the railroad company to supplement the efforts of the military by every means in their power and there is a suspicion that it has been a little lax in this respect so far. Issues Another Proclamation. Washinotc, July 10. The president has issued a proclamation like the one issued Sunday night, but referring to the troubles in the Dakotas, Monta'0, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado and California. The proclamation named 3 p. m July 10, as the time before which all mobs must disperse and law abiding citizens return to their abodes. Declined to Arbitrate. Washington-, July 10. Reports to the postoiiice department say that the rail roads have positively declined to accede to the demands of the strikers for arbi tration. Their action is based on the theory that there are no grievances to ar bitrate. Presidential Nominations. Washington, July 10. Postmasters: J. M. Hammond, Hamburg, la.. B. F. Thomas, Carthage, Mo., Rufus J. Best, Stillwater, Okl. Coal Crushers Burned. Charleston, W. Va., July 10. The coal crushers at Powelton mines were burned by incendiaries. Why Should They Fear?" There is much reason to fear that the tariff policy of President Cleveland and the American Democrats is doomed to complete failure. The Wilson tariff bill, as it has come back to the senate from the committee, Is completely met amorphosed. The duties are raised on almost every class of article the lauding of which in the Wilson bill indicated a leaning to a free trade policy. A com promise it may be, bnt it is a compro mise that virtually surrenders the prin ciple and which pleases nobody. New castle (England) Journal. THE REGULARS. Striken at Sacramento Aro iVrined With Winchester. San Francisco, July 10. Everything passed off quietly Monday. The strikers have temporarily retired from the depot and are massed at the headquarters waiting orders from Labor Leadei Knox. In anticipation of regular troops being called oat a number of the Sacra mento strikers have been sent to Stock ton to blockade the road and also to warn the men of the approach of the soldiers. It is their intention to seize a train and blockade th road, so it will be some time before the troops will be able to pro ceed to the city. In the meantime the strikers at Sacramento will have been warned of the advance of the regulars and a concerted effort will then be made to resist the troops. The strikers are armed with Winchesters and an attempt of the military to dislodgi them will most certainly result in blood shed. TELEGRAPH NEWS BOILED DOWN.
