Colonel Young's Illinois cavalry today relieved Battery H of guard duty In the city. All trains with ft eight or passengers otopplng hero are carefully searched for negroes. Two hundred members of the First cavalry ami Second Infantry , under comanil of Colonel nel Young , are hero today , nnd 175 more art expected before night. These , with the 12S men In the Galcsburg battery and Elgin company of the Sons of Veterans , will give Colonel Young a force of over 600 men. The arrival of Colonel Young's command has caused a feeling among tUo strikers that the negroes will be kept out at all hazards. A bad scare was given the engineer on a freight train going north today. Apparently the freight had orders not to stop at Vlrden. as they were going at a very high rate of speed insldo the yards. Suddenly there was a loud report from a torpedo on the tracks , a signal that is used by the militia to bring the t-ains to a standstill. The engineer cither did not hear the report or decided to pay no attention to It , for the train quickly gathered speed. Quickly there came another report , and tins ttma It was from a couple of Springfield rifles In the hands of the soldiers on the depot platform. This time there was no doubt that the signals would bo observed , as the engineer with a very white face threw the lever over and applied the brakes In such a manner as to leave no doubt that ho was willing to obey orders. After the cars had been searched the train was allowed to continue on Its journey north. As the result of a meeting held by a num ber of union miners during which the 'Jerrl- ble fight of Wednesday was discussed , a war rant has been sworn out by Virgil Bishop , a union miner , charging the managers of the Chlcago-Vlrdcn Coal company , Messrs.

Dr. Preston of the Thlel detective agency was the first witness called today. Ho recited in detail the Incidents leading up to Wednes. day's battle and told the story of the fight at the north gave , whcro ho was In charge of the company guards. He was sure that his men did not open the battl ? , and further more ho asserted that ho cautioned Uhem not to flro on numerous occasions during the battle. The most Important testimony was that elI I , A. De Barros of East St. Louis , who was In charge of t'he ' special guards on the train that was fired on In Wednesday's battle. In his statement De Barros said that when the train carrying the imported negroes had reached a point about ) 100 yards south ol the depot. the firing began from the exterior on either side of the tracks , and that ho gave orders to the men to drop t < the floor of the car. He stated that the occupants of the car were colored men women and children , and that when ho gav < those orders ho could hear the women ani children screaming and yelling that thej had beeu shot. After the depot was passei ho said the fire became very fierce agali from the outside and continued until thi train reached the stockade. When th < train drew up alongside the enclosure hi said that It was met with another voile ] of shots from the cast side of the track , op poslte to the stockade. After the flrlni ceased , he heard the order from the gati of the stockade : "Come out ; pile ou quick , " which he thought came from Dr Preston , captain of the stockade guards Do Barros stated that he and six negroe ; ran straight Into the enclosure wlthou stopping.

While the gov ernment of the United States gave Its sanc tion to the return to Samoa of Mataafa , tha ilcposcd king of the Island , this was ac corded before the death of Malletoa , the reigning king. The action of the United States was rather In the nature of clem ency and there was no Intention at the time to assist In any way In the restoration of Mataafa to the throne. Now , however , as the chief Is on the throne and ready to profit by the existing hiatus In the Samoan government It Is very probable that he will become the successor to Malletoa. Ho must , however , accomplish his ends strictly within the terms of the tripartite treaty , which provides that the Samoans shall chose their own ruler , -according to their own laws and customs. The arrival of Mataafa at Apia has not yet been reported to the government here , but It Is not doubted that the unoffi cial report to that effet Is correct.
