Chicago, July 4.—General Manager
Egan still remulns steadfast In his
purpose to fight It out to a finish with
the American Railway Union. When
asked, this morning, concerning Tho
overtures made to President Oof 8 for
u settlement, Mr. Egan replied:
■•We have madeno overtures to the
American Railway Union, and we hove
held no conference with its oflloers.
More than that, we shall hold no con
ference with him. So for as the rail
roads are oonoerned with this light,
they are not In It. It has now become
■ O fight between the United States gov-
ernmet and the Amerioan Railway
Union, and we shall leave them to fight
it out.”
Lake Shore trains are running, with
alight delays, as usual. It required
something of an ccort to transport the
troops from Fort Sheridan, hut early
la the morning the Infantry was taken
south and divided up to Slue Island,
signal of a civil war. I believe this
as firmly as I believe In the ultimate
success of our course. Bloodshed will
follow arid 90 per cent, of the people
of the United States will be arrayed
against the other 10 per cent. I would
not care to he arrayed against the la
boring pcope In the. contest or jmyself
out of the ranks of labor when the
struggle ended. I do not say this as
an alarmist, but calmly and thought
fully.
“It la unfortunate that the conditions
have become as to force the laboring
people into active resistance to the en
croachments upon their personal rights,
but it is corporation greed and avarice
alone that has brought us to the verge
of tine revolution. If blood Is shed in
this struggle, it will be the fault of
the managers and the officials who
wero misled by those who are to blame
Matters have been working to this
climax, and unless something is speed
ily done. I look to see the • country
lunged Into a desperate struggle from
whtoh labor will rise victorious and the
American laborer will be once more
placed upon his just and rightful
throne as a free man.
"Yes. I certainly feel the responsibil
ity resting upon ime In this struggle,
and It Is but natural that I should
have an anxiety as to What may pre
cede the final result whldh cannot but
be In our favor. But we cannot re
cede. A reoonc03slon on* our part
would mean the absolute enslavement
of the American working men and his
complete and utter degredatlon forw.ll
time to come. And I would rather be
dead 'than alive to see or experience
such fate.
"No, it Is Impossible to think of re-
r eding. Yes. I do believe there Is a
hnnee to bring about a settlement be-
fora the final struggle is on. I think
e dro Is a probability Mint the trouble
ay be averted. It resta solely with
others, not us, to bring It about, how
ever. One thing Is certain, the Gen
eral Managers Association must and
shall succumb. A million of men stand
ready to quit work and unite in the
struggle fo» Justice and liberty when
ever called uocn to do so. I do nut
believe that It will bo necessary to call
upon them, as I um_lncllned to believe
that settlesnent will be effected within
a few days. We stand ready to meet
the managers and want to meet them.’

Th^ Northwestern, so far na Its local ur^iFtna <>♦ letter's re-
Tlte Northwestern, so far as Its local
traffic Is concerned, is In very good
shape. All trains on the Milwaukee
and Wisconsin divisions arc running on
tlme,and only two trains on the Gaivna
division failed to arrive on time.
, The train carrying half of the Becond
battalion of the Fifteenth infantry to
the sock yards left the Lake Shore de
pot -early this morning, but at 8 o’clock
tonight was still side-tracked, not
-whore the managers intended it to be,
but close enough- for the boys in blue
to'duToad their horses, four Hotchkiss
rifle.-. and supplies and go into camp, it
wvaried and Jaded lot of men, not hav
ing slept and for twenty-four hours
and-without food, with the exception
of a single hastily-snatched meal, du
ring that. time. The day was & trying
one for the troops and the police, and
one of intense excitement from day
break until dark.
(Besides the 150 men composing com
panies C and D of the Fifteenth infan
try, there was a company of cavalry
and a battery of artillery and a squad
of policeman. On the latter fell the
brunt of keeping in control a crowd
wild with excitement, inflamed by pas
sion and frequent draughts from the
neighboring saloons, which did the
most iprofltalble business they evor be
fore know, and ready to do almostImy-
thing. The military train pullod into
the park at the head of Halstead street
at 2 o’clock. There it continued to
switch up and down until twilight,
when the attempt to move it further
was abandoned. Six times it was un
coupled by the strikers, or-their sympa
thizers, in spite of the fact that on .--ve
ry oar sat th^ bronzed atnd seasoned
nrtny men, who had seen servioo and
knew how to shoot, and who declared
they would do so If any one attempted
to interfere with, the train. This they
would have done, but the strikers were
too agile for them. Before the rifles
could be aimed the offenders would
hack into the midst of the crowd.where
it would have been worse than folly to
shoot, hooting and Jeering the soldiers.
Only once did the soldiers look calm
ly on at two persons uncouple the
train, and, although they had plenty of
time to shoot, they failed to do so. In
tills case the persons wore women.
The scene was noteworthy when En
gineer Wrenn and Fireman Culp, both
employes of the Lake Shore road, who
had been running the engines pulling
the military train all day cormluded to
quit. With wild cheers the crowd rushed
at the two men and despite their re
sistance picked them up and bore them
aloft fbr a distance of three or four
blocks. Of course thi« settled the
question of moving further. The sol-
J’«rc put up in the stock yards and
horses stabled. Some trouble occurred
at Root and Thirtieth streets. A Lake
Shlire passenger train which left the
,T* Wand depot at 3:04 o’clock waa
detained by the strikers, who clam
bered upon the engine and tried to in
duce Engineer Weber to quit J. C.
Ilarrls an etnplbye of the railroad,
Btarted to pull a revolver. American
Railway Union delegates demanded of
the police that they disarm the man,
out the officers refused to do so and
the men took it in tli&lr own hands and
threw him benath a freight car and
Would have killed him had the police
not interfered. A young man named
a reporter for a morning paper,
Would have suffered a similar fate but
xor similar interference. The young
man did net choose his criticism of the
mbb and this added to the fact that the
in question has taken a partisan
view of the strike with the company
was more than the crowd could bear.
Aney seized hdm and struck nlm sev
eral times and he Was rescued with dlf-
flculty. There were about 6,000 persons
m the mob. While the military train
moving it was guarded part ol the
time ca both aide* by squads of armed
men in addittbn to those who rode cn
w». Nothing was done nt the stride
yards execept the moving of Swift &
Co.s train of meat. After the troops
h»d abandoned thrfr train and gone
mto camp the crowd derailed the two
£»»r cars of the train and then, satisfied
-Ha tli-ir day's work and finding no
mure soldiers or police tc hi mu, they
aulftly dispersed.
Lake s.iore train, No. SO was de
tained by a mob at Forty-third street
■nd the Rock Island yards tonight.
It wts a passenger bound for Elkhart,
Ind. The engineer and fireman was
rorved to leave the train, the engineer
being hit by a bottle being thrown
from the crowd and the train waa side
tracked. The paajengera came down
town on a tree l ears.
Fifteen Pan Handle freight cars were
Burned at Forty-seventh street by a

Several men who were known to bo

STRIKING IN CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati. July 4.—A majority of the
freight conductors of the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Louisville and Nash
ville roads w<vu out on a strike this

expected to meet with the council com
mittee and In all probability with reje
resentatlves of the General Managers
Association. As yet the union officials
are not looking upon the meeting «e
anything Important, and not until the
managers are present will any bther
view be taken.
The railroad situation today Is dls-
tlnatly better tlinn yesterday. The
Northwestern railroad has resumed its
regular schedules for both through and
suburban trains and It has got out sev
eral of Us (tailed freight trains. Its
overland passenger carried Pullman
cars. The passenger trains of the roads
centering In the Union depot hero wore
moved In IMr time. The Illinois Cen
tral took out Us trains and created Joy
tn the hearts of the tons of thousands
of suburbanites by announcing subur
ban traffle would be resumed, it possi
ble, tomorrow. The Rock Island and
Lake Shore roads and others of the
Dearborn street station suffered most.
Reports late tonight are to the effect
that two Lakq Shore trains and n Rock
Island passenger are stalled near the
city limits and that a crowd detached
the Pullman Bleepers from nn oaatuound
express train at Hammond, Ind. .
•At Blue Island the appearanoe of the
regulars completely overawed the mob
and the Rock Island was enabled to
partially lift tho passenger blockade.
At Grand Crossing, on the Illinois
Central, the crowd of strikers and tbelr
sympathizers changed the base f ope
rations to Hammond. Ind., where It
ha's renewed the work of harrasslng
the railroads in their efforts to run
passenger trains with Pullman cars.
If the regulars are ordered to Ham
mond, the loader® f the mob propose
to execute another flank movement.
The Baltimore and Ohio is the first
road to take the load In Importing labor

to take the field. - At Sacramento the
state troops refused to disperse the stri

armories without accomplishing any
thing. ,.
ATLANTA AFFECTED.
Atlanta, July 4.—As a result of the
railroad tie-up, the Shipments of mel
ons have congested In Atlanta to such
an extent that they are being sold here
cheaper Ilian ever known. Hundreds
of car loads of melons destined for tho
North have been sidetracked and the
railroads are almodti giving them
away. In many Instances they are
Bailing them at less than tho uctunl
cost of bringing them as far as At
lanta. The fruSt stands nro literally
overflowing tvllh pineapples and bn-
uantiastopped hereon their way V'e»t.
Bananas are bolng liberally disposed
of at 23 cents a bunch and pineapples
are going at fr&m 8 to 3 cents apiece.
Prices are getting oh nap or every day
and If the tie-up corrHnuos the conges
tion of fruit shipment will bo so great
as to make It nopessary cither to give
It nvray or have It rot' without being
disposed of.
MUTINY OF MILITIA,
Sacramento, July 4.—Three companies
of militia mutinied nnd refused to act
against the strikers. Men with arms
are reported flocking to Sacramento to

treated the engineers and firemen and
killed the engines on the main track.

gether with 100 policemen, took up n
position alongside of tho train and
marched with It to the Michigan Cera
tral track. The crowd of hangera-on
did not number more than COO and they
remained at a distance. The train went
Ehst at 8:45 a. m. When the soldiers
marched back to camp they were fol
lowed by a crowd of about 800 men nnd
boys, who cursed and yelled at the men
until Capt Chapman ordered a charge
with bayonets on Halstead street switch
which had the effect of scattering this
crowd.
QUIET IN ST. LOUIK
St. Louis. July 4.—The railroads tre
nbt muklng much of nn effort to over
come the strike difficulty today. Tho
majority of them have given their em
ployes until tomorrow to return to
work and If liy that time the men do
not resume wbrk their places will be
filled by non-union men. The Chicago
and Alton train for Chicago and the
Wabash passenger trains for Che East
were abandoned last night. The morn
ing passenger mdn* were started with
out delay, but Tt la feared they will be
(topped at some pbtnt along the lines.
The different rallrouds have dismissed
nearly two-thlrda of their clerical force
on account of the strike. The Missouri
Pacific switchmen announce their In
tention of returning to work tomorrow
morplng. They my they are not mem
bers cf the American Railway Union
nnd only went out through sympathy.
A petition Is being circulated through

LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
“Ex.octlu.vo Mansion, Washington,
June 29^-IIon. Thomas F. Gilroy,
Grand Sut-bem, etc.—Dear Mir: I re
gret that It Is impossible fur mo to
accept rhe kind Invitation 1 huvo re
ceived to attend the celebration of tho
llfiiih nnniwrHiiry of American inde
pendence by the Tammany Society.
There never was u time to jour tui
tion's history when the eelolmulou of
an Independence day so Impressively
reminded us of tlhc meaning and sig
nificance of Its commemoration. Tho
day Is celebrated not because on the
fourth day of July, 118 years ugo, err
tain iJngllsh colonies In America se
cured their freedom nnd Independence,
but booauso on that duy tho first step
was taken ou this continent to wield
the trusting huimnf government to the
control umd management of the. people
to bo governed. Thin reflection lends
to the further thought that such u pro
ject could never huvo bee.l entertained
except In tho fnllli nnd expectation
that those entrusted with self-govern
ment would guard With self-suerillcc
their sclterae of goranmeut, which Is
absolutely essential to Its purity and
Rifely. Inasmuch ns this oentiment
Is the life of our Institutions and be
cause they ore threatened with tho
stifling atmosphere of selrtslmes* aid
cupidity, wo should so. commemor&to
Independence day as to stimulate aud
Intensify a patriotic lovo of our gov

repotting should ho measured by tho
extent to wbftilt wc nrd all our coun
trymen are Imbued with this feeling.
Yours truly, Grover Cleveland."
FROM SENATOR HILL.
New York, July 4.—Ths following
lot-tor come Crosn Mr. Hill:
"United States 8-nur.e, Washington.
June 80, 1894.—Dow Sir: While dunk
ing the Tammany Society for It* court
esy, I find It to Impossible to accept
lu luvttutlon to uttend Its celebration
on July 4. The country is now passiug
through a period of financial and Indus
trial depression the like of which has
not bren experienced In years. It may
be attributed In part to natural causes,
in part :•> unwise legislation in the past
and in part to sensitiveness toward
contemplated changes In our govern
ment policies.
Political uneasiness, distrust of pri
vate and offlclal rectitude, public scan
dal with or without some foundation,
fickleness of popular opinion and tile
sugg- stion of fatoe or foolish remedies
are ulw.iye Incident to such a crisis. It
Is a time for level heads nnd genuine
courage. The country demands the
exhibition of true statesmanship at this
hour on -the part of those sdmlnist-’r-
tag rhe government: It d,>mind» ihelr
adhesion to well established constitu
tional principles; It derftjnds tlielr
mJlntroianoe of an -honest and vigorous
hut patriotic partisanship, ndt in -f-
forts to build up person il or political
factions by the distribution or official
patronage for the sake of punishing
ndvi n.irio* and rewarding sycophants,
but by the broad and liberal policy of
atrengthening party organlzitlona ove-
ry-wh--re. and encouraging devotion to
correct prindplea of government; It de
mands the adoption of *. definite fiscal
policy to prevent the government trem
longer drifting toward the rocks of
financial chaos, and, finally. It demand*
« foreign policy which extends the
American aynvpothlee of free republics,
m'fher than to monarchies.
"The evils which now temporarily
afflict us cannot be cured by tile adop
tion of every passing ’Ism.’ of the hour.
They citonot he remedied by the In
dorsement of Populistic or Boclulletlo
doctrine*. Class legislation attacks the
vested rights of property, the centrsll-
xo-tlon of power In the general govern
ment, unequal and unjust taxation, the
usurpation of the reserved privileges
and prerogatives of the Mates, unholy
coalitions with third parties, n compro
mise or abandonment' of essential prin
ciples, nnd a change merely for the
sake of change wll>\enly aggravate,
rather than alleviate, the difficulties.
It Is a fit tlmo for old-fashioned Jeffer
sonian principles to come to the front,
end timid, apologetic and Incompetent
counsels to go to the rear.
'A faithful and economical adminis
tration of public affairs In the nation,
state and municipality: . 'the reduction
of publto burdens; a tariff for revenue;
the preservation of Anv'ilofln Indus
tries; honest labor for hones', working-
men; the restoration of the currency
of the constltntlon—gold and silver—as
the standard nioney of the eountry.ivUh
out discriminating against either metal;
stale sovereignty; local self-govern
ment: ‘homo rule for cities;, honest
elections and fair primaries; opposltlbn
to fraud and oorrupllon: the speedy
ptihlshmint of crime duly proven,,
whether against. those In .our own
r ipks or In the ranks of our adversa
ries; the suppression of nlHdfnl blnck-
ireilllug, nnd the enforcement of a high
standard of personal and official Integ
rity. This, In brief, to our crec.i; and,
If woe are true 'to ourselves nnd pursue
that duty ns outlined, neither diverted
nor dismayed by the premature boasts
and clamor of our opponents, we shall
deserve to win as glorious victories tn
the future as wc have iwou in tho past.
"I remain your fellow statesman,
“DAVID B. HILL.”
Senator Walsh, In his speech bore
testimony to the loyalty of Tasnmsny
to the party nominee, however much
It may have protested In convention
and expressed the gratitude of the
Smith to Tammany for tho sympathy
it extended In the dark daya that fol
lowed ithe war. He spoke of the re
united North and South and of the

of East Tennessee. His subject was

Atlanta, July 4.—(Special,)—Ooti-
greosimiu Livingston won ln» spurs as
ii ktrick-down aud drag-out ctunpcUgtkic
Motile years ugo, hut there is no coord.
of anything quite ns lively us the open--
lug speech of his campaign for icuofft-
toa-tton at tho opera bouse hero tonight.’’
For u while too scene closely resem
bled a South Onroliutt debate, w»lU its
usual accompaniments.
lu order to understand tho situation,
ns It appeared before the opera house
meeting tou'lgiif, It must be known first
that. Livingston Inis never received
the vote of Fulton county In hla con
gressional races, lu tact, until quite
recently, It lias been the proper thing
to beimle mnl denounce him In At
lanta. Bo strong has this feeling
ngutndt him been mat he has never
even put out a ticket here.
Wirein tiho scheme to get a govern
ment appropriation for tho exposition
was hmuflted uml the citizens' cmut'l-
teo went on to Washing tm fir that
purpose, Uvlngstone heartily joined
hands with tho Atliuitlnus and wotked
hunl to secure tho appropriation. This
naturally softened rnueu of tbu mil-
uies'.'iy inward him, and ou this ac
count public semameut bus imued
largely lu his lwvor.
At hrst It wus thought that he would
have ho opi-osJMou tor roaomituMion.
Nobody to A-tlautu cared particularly,
to ittCrtUco themselves lu view of Ai-
hinira'B a-lcudly feeling toward lnm,
but it seems that soano of lAviugston'u
old political encin.ca would not sub
mit and Col. Milton A. Coudlor of De-
Kalb county whs suddenly sprung on
the situation. Ool. Can tier ,ut ot'cu'
.received' the backing ot the 1 Journal
111 its most vigorous style. It was
charged Unit he luul been brought out
by Hecrrirnry lloko Smith, wl-ili whuui
Livt,ng4lou hits old scores that noth
ing <tatt smooth over. The journal,
lunvuver, em'pha'tlcaUy denies that Its
bitter light oil Livingston la inspired
from Washington or any where else.
This nlUcriuiuh tile Journal came out
with a long list of Interviews with cit
izen.- who sahl they favored Candler
anil opiiosed Livingston, aud oilier pub
lications lu tho suino Issue attacked
the cougrccrndn to a way that mudo
Ids blood hot, i
When ho faced nls audience tonight
he at once sj'iled to W4th sleeves rolled
up to got lmck at fbo Journal. Xlia
crowd was with ldm' unanimously ex-
eroding members of tho Journal's staff,
who were ou baud for business. Liv
ingston did not waste uny time, buB
begun to roast the Journal people from
the Jump, charging that the light on
him eamo from Wushltiglon, lie luul
hn<l n peep behind the scenes, lie said,
nnd knew the true liiwurdncss of Can
dler's eaudlducy. He took up the list
of Interviews and, singling out names,
declared that the list com dued people
who bad been dcud for years, besidofi
Republicans and poopto who lived m
Newton, Rockdule und Clayton enmi
ties. He.Mild that Muougir Cuban!**
of the Journal had offered Ills re
porters a $.1 lint, to be awarded to tho
one who should secure tho most miti-
Llvlugttton Interviews, .loo Johnson,
the polleo reporter, ho said, turned In
seventy-eight out of the 2nd printed
und was declared llio winner of iho
hat, but a prates* wus mudo by other
reporters, who claim-sl that Johnson
bail Interviewed dead men, Republi
cans and members of his own family,
as well n* employe* of tho olllee, ond
consequently tho hat was not awarded,
after all.
Turning to tho Journal man on iho
singe, Mvlngston said lio’d give two
hats If any of tho repovtoni would stop
out and soy ho hadn't found ton Liv
ingston men to ono Cnndler man in
gotttag up 111* interviews.
Johnson stepped out und TJvIngston
declared that tboro was not n word of
truth to bis docUritlon. Immculuiuly
three was nn uproar. City Editor
Hurtcli of tho Journal sprang acrox
Hie footlights to get nf Livingston,
While Johnson and several other Jour-
nal men followed. Livingston ad
vanced to meet Hurtcli with uplifted
list, while the newspaper man got Ids
coat off and wus rolling up Ills sleeves
to vvl|K! up the floor with the congress
man, with the help of Ids roporters,
when people on llio stage rushed up
,aml dragged the bellignvnt newspaper
men awny. ;
After the arrival of policemen suffi
cient to keep down further trouble^
Livingston went on with his speech,
which was mainly a claim for the in
dorsement of Atlanta for tho work ho
lias done for the exposition. ■ Candler,
be said, had told u trlond who occu
pied a place on the stage that ho would
vote against the appropr.atloE. if ho
was in congress. Candler also voted
against silver when he wai in con
gress before, and. like those who put
him out. Is a goldhug. He warned Col.
Csndk-r not to misrepresent end ma

would bold Him -leor account.
