Chicago, July 7.—"And it t8 further
ordered that an act of hostility, such
us tiring upon railroad trains or as
saulting trainmen, marshals or soldiers
by throwing at them rocks, pieces of
iron or other mlsalle3; those assaults
shall bo repelted by the use of fire
arms," wrotj? Generit Nelson A. Miles,
in Ws order Uhls afternoon, detailing
federal troops to assist United Stator JJjn^ijgW GnJowskl. 3tet in
marshals in preventing obstruction ° *
What was now needed was Che exercise
of the awfltiority vested In the army
for protective purposes. After this con
ference Gen. Miles oalled Col. Martin
and CoL Crofton Into consultation and
a few minutes therafter the formal Ur-
ders as«gnlng the different companies
to the depots had been signed and con
veyed to the military CHOP on the lake
front.
The plan of operations JJ) be followed
•this «fternoon Is outlined ns follows:
Trains will be made up In the depots
and yards under the protection of the
United Staites deputy marshals witti the
military acting as a reserve force.
Should the mob attempt to prevent the
making r jp and despatch of trains the
deputy marahuls will first exercise their
authority, and should this not be heed
ed the troops will be called into requi
sition and the mob driven to a safe
distance with the use of bayonets, and
rifles if pvtremes are forced. In th«*
meantime the state nrffctla Is depended
upon to keep the tracks clear of the
mob and also all obstructions, com
mencing at a point about three miles
distant from each of the respective de
pots. Wttb military and deputy mar
shals carrying out the malls for the first
stage, with national guards protecting
the trains for the second and third
stages, and with every crossing over
the entire distance guarded by detach
ments of the local police force, it is be
lieved that enough trains can be run
through the sections now under mob
law to rtlse the blockade.

■For the first time since the strike
opened there were several distinct
notes of Improvement In the situation,
and were no! confined to Chicago.
'Here the postal authorities romorted a
notable Improvement in the handling
of mails. - Outside of Chicago It was
noticed ttmt the strike, while it made
no progress worth of mention, 1 gave
many .evidences of htrvlng reached Its
culmination and of falling in Influence.
To begin with, the promise of the Sea
honrd Trank Knea would be tied up nt
Buffalo, was nil- fulfilled. The strike
was extended to Flttxburg as predicted.
At a number of points In the tlcd-up
territory th© strain was lightened nt
one or two points, when men who had
ngreed to go out failed to do so. Rut
the most slgnlcant of all. perhaps, was
the refusal of the American Railway
Union \meh- at ‘Louisville, ;C>al.<ar.t(’p
epringw and Denver to o/bey Debs- or
der to strike.
Joliet also reported a defection tn the
ranka of the employes of the Elgin.
Joliet, and Eastern. On he other hand
Che friends of vanv and order had Occa
sion to be pleased on account of the
massing of troops here and the move
ment of troops by the president with
a view to lifting the embargo on the
Pacific coast business, both by the
Northern and Central roads. To this
end he ordered Gen. Merritt at Bt.
Paul and Gen. OUs at Vancouver bar
racks to see to the opening of tho
Northern Pacific line, while Gen. Ru-
ger at San Francisco and Gen. Brooke
at Omaha were similarly Instructed to
Set things to moving on the Central
road near the Northern Pacific system.
To all this the only success the man
agers of the strike were able to show
was an arrangement between Debs
and Grand Master Workman Sovereign
of the Knights of Labor to call out
the members of that organisation,
some 150,000 In number, provided the
other four members of the executive
committee would agree to calling Them
out, 10 that If the arrangement goes
It .will add no small addition to -the

The Dally News Issued at 7 o’clock
an extra containing the following Im
portant Information, and they vduch
for Its correctness In every particular:
"Leae hie afternoon President Debs
of the American Railway Union In

apparently about J5 years old, and in
of Ills pockets was a book In which was
written: "F. W Painter. If hurt notify

removed to the county morgue.

IS. E. Clark, grand chief of the Order
of Railway Conductors, was to the city
today. Mr. lark said hie order would
not Identify ItaeCf with the strikers
said: "When the strike began I was re-C
quested by Air. Debs to Jo)n In It. I
said that our order had taws which pre
vented any participation It, sympathetic
•trikes, and It had no personal desire to
Join In movements of the kind. The com
panies with which we have agreements
have lived up to their contracts, and we
have no desire to break them. There
are cases where Individual members of
our order have joined In the strike. We
cannot help that. A conductor who does
not want to work can quiet after giving
the company notice. If, however, he
goes to the extent-of attempting to get
other conductors to go out with him, he
will be disciplined, In which caso It usually
means suspension."
"The triumph of this railroad strike
would be the triumph of Anarchy." said
Grand Mnater Wilkinson of the Brother
hood of Trainmen today. "The time hns
arrived when things must be called by
their rlghtfijiamca without any roollsh
delicacy. It Is a foregone conclusion,
though, that the movement must fall
That Is my conviction. Any other termi
nation would be a concession that the
government cannot control the nation and
the lawless elemont can have the upper
hand. The termination of this strike will
demonstrate the fallacy and ineftclency
of sympathetic strikes. They are wrong,
misconceived, and cannot win. Our union
has ordered no strike, and the member
who Joins. thd sympathy demonstration
violates his oiith. His action Is but that
of an Individual. If I were the owner of
a railroad and an engineer should refuse
to work with non-union firemen put in
place of such an Individual, I would not
let such an engineer ever work on my
road. Should the engineer refuse to work
with n non-union fireman, when the fire
men havo been ordered out by thoir
union for a grievance, is entirely a dif
ferent matter. Instead of being a strue-
gle for the supremacy of organised labor,
this strike Is a terrible blow at working-
men's unions. Unions have made some
of the men In this movement, and before
I would aim the-dastardly blow they are
aiming at the life of unloss, I would be
hung on a rock and torn limb from llqjb.
Twenty-five cars loaded with coal and
meat were brought Into the city today
over the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne rail
road. The oars were manned by United
States troops. The progress of the train,
which was the first moved by the Fort
Wayne In nearly a week, was slow and
difficult. Mobs were assembled at every
crossing, and when ‘the crossings were
reached the train stopped and the troops
tumbled down to the ground and, with
thoir bayonet* forced the people to get
off the tracks. The mobs were surly but
made no resistance.
An afternoon paper prints ths follow
ing:
Competent authority estimates the prop
erly loss In this city nlone by fire and
waste during the last ten days at J2,000,-
000, a loss traceable directly to the strike.
But thut vast amount Is Insignificant In
comparison to ths loss due to the sacrifice
of wages and the paralysis of business.
The railroad tlc.up has thrown not less
than S00.000 railroad employes out of

by Several Gentlemrn,
Bibb county Democracy, In ms(M
meeting assembled at noon yesterday,
unanimously and unequivocally en
dorsed Hon. Charles L. Bartlett to rep
resent tile Sixth congressional district
In the next congress of the United
States.
It was a large and outhuslasllo meet
ing, composed of reprcsenintlvo Demo
crats, who met for the purpose of con
ferring a-. d?«. rve'd compliment on
Bitvb-S gifted, 'brilliant and pi trio tie
son In whom Are embodied ull the prin
ciples of true and sound Democracy
and In whose couKuge, Integrity and
ability to fight for Ills convictions with
great success and lasting good to the
Democratic pmy disay have Wio most
unfaltering confidence.
Thu ununtmoua action of . the meet
ing wa* nothing more than wum ex
pected, as Hon. Charles L. Bartlett la
not only the Choice of Bibo county but
of tihe people of the Sixth congres
sional district. It was it spontaneous
uprising of tihe people, and such a.
hearty indorsement of his home people
cannot fait to hare goou effect on the
people at thr other counties ofuho dls-
titoi.
Tho meeting was called to order by
Judge George VV. Gustln, olMlrmnn of
tho Democratic executive committee of
Bibb county, who said the first business
before the meeting was rtio election of
a chairman.* By n unanimous,, vote
Hon. W. H. Felton was elected, and on
taking the. aland Mr. Felton stated the
object of the meeting,
JudgeA.*L.-Mil'ler arose and Intro
duced the following resolutions:
In times of political unrest and uneasi
ness the people Instinctively look for a
leader In whoso courage and wisdom they
can confide. The. Democratic party of
Georgia has done well her part In put
ting forward many of her bravest and
wheat sons to shape tho course of ths
Union along Democratic lines. And to
day, as well on In t|ie future, tho Demo
cratic party should summon to the front
everywhere her braVost and best, to face
the foe, to win .the fight for constitu
tional liberty-und local self government,
nnd at last to establish tho supremacy
of Democratic doctrlno In tho American
Union, not for a single brief period, but
for generations to come. The Democrats
of tho county of Bibb, ever loyal to
their party, tireless In Ihelr energy to
perpetuate Democratic strength and har
mony everywhere, as tho surest means
of prpetuatlng the prosperity of their
state nnd district, offer to the Democrats
of the Sixth congressional district the
name of a man for their leader In con
gress,‘near and dear to every true patriot
In Georgia: one who by birth and educa
tion Is In strong, close nnd unalterable
sympathy with tho people, and who,
knowing their rights, has at once the In
telligence and undaunted, rourago every
where to maintain them. His long legal
training and his legislative and Judicial
career have furnished him with every
weapon necessary for legislative and for
ensic warfare: and an Intelligent end
close study of national affairs, Inspired
by an ardent and sincere attachment for
his people, has made him fit to shape
legislation for his people's' prosperity.
The Democrats of Bibb county, never
faltering In tllelr ulleglauce, standing for
right, full of loss for their party, loyal
to Its Interests, who have shown that
they can mako a sacrifice with the same
devoted spirit with which they have
rolled up their tremendous Democratic
majorities, offer to tho Democrats of tho
Sixth congressional district their loved
and honored son, Charles L. Bartlett as
a candidate for coitgreas.
Therefore resolved, That the following
gentlemen be appointed as delegates from
11 - ...Iinty t,f 1411,1* to th,. i.p|,reaching
congressional convention to be held for
the purpose of nominating a Democratic
candidate for congress from the HIxth
congressional district, namely:
Judge Clifford Anderson, C. B, Willing,
ham, Dupont Guerry, W. M. Gordon, W,
H. Felton. A. M._, Wollhln, Washington

Miller, L. B. Rhodes, Roland Ellis, I>.
J. Duffey, A', W. Lane, A. E. Barnes,
John Noon. R. V. Hardeman, and Dr.
R. U. Barron.
And the said delegates are hereby In
structed to use all fair und honorable
means within their power to secure tho
ii ....in.vUon of the lion. Charles I* Bart
lett.
Resolved further, That each of said
delegates Is authorised to appoint and
alternate in the event he should be from
any cause prevented from attending said
convention In person.
Afu r tho reading at the resolutions
Judge- Miller paid the following high
tribute to Judge Bartlett:
In moving the adoption of the resolu
tions Judge Miller sjtoke as follows:
"Mr. ii.m.in s.n-1 l'.-li,.v D.-.iin-
crats: The old opuqty of Btt. through
out Die length and broad th of the abate,
Is recognised as the stronghold of the
Democracy in Georgia. From 1867
down to the present day the Demo
crats of Bibb have fa -I the enomy
wkh unbroken front. N i matter what
enemy It has been ihat confronted
them, woetner Republican or third
party, that party has gone done In In
glorious defeat before the heroesj>f the
B.tyo Democracy. I do not wish to un
dervalue the labors of the rank and
file of the purty In this county, but I
wl,1 say that the parly has been well
led, and for the past twenty years,
•landing la ths very front rank of hla
tarty has been the man whose name
via been presented to this nfeetlng to
day. IIHt name, his mere name, has
been a rallying cry for the Democracy
of this coopty—the name of Charles L.
to load and never called on to follow
He Is a man that the Democracy of
B3bh county can unite on. He Is to
day the reoognlzed leader of the De
mocracy of this county.
"We have had our differences In the
party In the past, dlffcrenoea as to
men as well as measures, hut today
we can dome together on this one man.
"But a few weeks ago there .were
wide differences In the gubernatorial
canvass; friend algal net friend, father
against son, brother against broCner In
that sharp, short struggle. But today
we can -lay ak -that aside and come to
gether wtth united hearts on Charles
L. Burtlott. Thera are dlfferencee
among us now. both on the great eco
nomic questions and others. Men may
differ as to what Is best to be done to
bring back business and prosperity,
but on that one min, around -that one
name, we nary bury our differences,
because we can feel confident he has
the wisdom, Intelligence and patriot
ism to select that course of action. If
we send him tn -the nest congress, to
the best Interests and good of the
people.
-More than an 'that, and only one
word more, with 'Burtlect as the etand-
aid-bearer of the party In the coming
congressional election, we can all hon
or him, confident 'that hi his lei/lershlp
tho Democratic party will be led to
certain victory In 1894,
"Sir. Chairman. I move flor
unanimous passage of these resolu.
tlons.”
Hi>n. 'Hugh V. Washington then
arose and tn a brilliant speech second
ed the resolutions. Mr. Washington's
speech was one characteristic of this
eloquent gentleman and the high trib
ute he paid to Judge Bartlett was
heartily Indorsed by those present.
A -motion was then «tode to suhstl
tutc the name at Judge A. L. Miner
In the list of delegates for that of Mr
J. H. Hall. The motion twas carried.
'Hon. N. E. Harris moved that
committee be appointed to notify Judge

London, July 7.—A hnzo of Intrigue

ttew it la Impossible to stty whether or
not Sir William Hat-court's threats to
resign h1s salt and leadership of tho
Liberal purty in tho house of commons
are genuine, or who la likely to he his
successor In the event of his retire

bus sent to his collcngucH an Intimation
that Ids plij-skV.tu.-t have advised u
hcanon of absolute rent, and therefore
dealreu to retire front parliament ut
thu end of tlie session, but ids adher

tuvnlug Blgnaluros to a proposal to eu- •
