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.

'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 farces of Idleness. There has been a rift In the Claud, but the oloud is atill there. 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 formed a Dally Nenra reporter that he had received a message from E. P. Lawrence, president of the First Na- Uon all Bank, say ing that Vice Presi dent Wyckes of the Pullman Company was willlng'to see him. Debs thereupon •aid that he was perfectly willing to *ee Mr. Wlckes." •President tWckes. when seen later at his olllce. said: This morning Mr. Lawrence called on me and asked If I Would be willing to meet a committee of our ex-employes. I told Mm that I would willingly meet such a commit tee. and have Always been wiring to meet. such delegations at any time. The position of the Pullman Company, however, la unchanged. I do not expect that the committee will come to me Intending to discus arbitration. If they desire to discuss die situation, as I said. I am ready and wining to see them/ — accepted the c-fter of th6 crginlxation, an-1 the Hussars assembled at Tattersal 1 *! tonight at 7:00 and were sworn in special deputies. Capt. E. T. Brand is commnnuer .of tho Hussar*. They armed with 45 calibre Colt's revolvers The City Troops, Capt Funkhouse com manding, tendered their service, to Gen. Wheeler, commander of the Natlonul Guards of the Mato of Illinois. TheW put forty mounted men. thoroughly equipped and well drilled, into the field at an nouifis notice. The owners of the Monannock budding today had twenty-five deputy marshal, sworn In to protect the building, end the men were placed on duty. It wag feared that the fact that the federal court oc cupies a portion of the ouildlng might make It an object of attack by Uio mob In Us riot down town. At i o'clock this afternoon workmen who were loading ears at Fourteenth •treet, found the body of a man whom the police think was murdered. The body was noticed lying under a platform. It was covered with blood, and over tho left eye was a peculiar gash. The man was apparently about J5 years old, and in of Ills pockets was a book In which was written: "F. W Painter. If hurt notify Eady,, Harrisburg, Pa." The body was removed to the county morgue. ■ Bishop Samuel Fallows und the Rev P. S. Htason, who headed the move ment of ministers for a mass meeting at the battery for discussing means of eetl. Cement at the strike, announced tn.it in view of the threatening prospect they .Judged it wisest riot , to hold the proponed mass meeting, but In lieu thereof to se-' cure the appointment- of a committee of 100 representative cltiaens who will take charge of negotiations! oeklng to arbl t nation. 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 work, und now It Is announced, as the result of a careful canvass, that the In dustrial establishments In Chicago and Its environs, employing 100.000 men, will shut down until the strike Is settled. Other manufacturing communities through the West ore doing the nmc thing, and It la not an exaggeration to state that the ranks of idlers In'the West will be Increased 1,000.0(0 men by reason of tho •trike.'

JUDGE BARTLETT FOR CONGRESS Bibb County Democrats in Mass Meet Ing Indorse His Candidacy for Nomination, GENUINE -ENTHUSIASH RAN HIGH When the Fearless and Dashing Chsm- |ilon of Democracy Was E sorted lino ihe Meetlug—Speeches 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.

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 Bartlett-of lllio action of the mooting, and -the chair apjxdntefi a committee constating of N. E. Harris, Robert Hodges and Dupont Guerry to notify Judge Bartlett and escort him Into the court room. The committee retired and on finding Judge Darflett escorted him Into the court room amid the tumult ous applause of those assembled. After the long continued applause had sub sided Chairman Felton stated thnt Judge Bartlett needed no Introduction to the audience, whercujion Judge Bartlett arose, and In. the eloquent, graceful and forcible manner for which he Is noted ATTEMPTED EXPRESS ROBBERY.
