Jr'S Chicago, July 8.—It Is admitted on all sides tonight tUttt the proclamation Issued at'midnight by President Cleve land Iras done more toward clearing the atmosphere and bringing the mob element to a sense of Us responsibility than conld have been accomplished by all the self-projected conciliation and mediation committees in a mouth. The proclamation wns printed in the Pol ish, Bohemian and and English lan guages on a broad sheet, at the ofllco of a weekly paper, lu the heart of the lawless district, and distributed by ten, of thousands in the Poiish-Bohe- both by the American Railway Union of. riclals and the authorities. Chicago, July 9.—The war cloud that bus ovenauug this city and this laud ; .r the past ten days sbows distinct signs of lifting. Instead of stories of additional tie-ups at various points throughout the country, today’s dis patches, almost without exception, bring advices of strlkzers returning to work and increased resumption of traffic, am.juming in some places to a return to normal conditions. The day in Ohioago has passed with out serious conflict between the riot ers and the armed forces now on duty here. The feature of the day has been tile action, early this morning, after an nil-night session, of the federated trades unions lu Chicago, in deciding to oall out all classes of labor on Tues day afternoon at 1 o'clock, unless Geo. .M. Pullman should have agreed before tile meridian of that day to settle the differences between his company and bis striking employes, by arbitration or otherwise. For reasons not known to the public, Grand Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor and hts advisors subsequently decided to postpone the general walk-out, and the paralytic stroke wbtoh they proposed to Inflict on the business of Chicago, until 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. Late this afternoon, however, tile an nouncement was nude that President Samuel Gompeers .of the American Moderation of Labor had catted a meeting of the executive commlttoe of tile organlatlou to be held In this city on Thursday, and that he would leave for Chicago tomorrow evening. In view of this. It Is not beli.ved tbit the federated trades of Chicago will take precipitate action before consultation with him. President Gompeers says It will bo impossible, to decide, on a line of asftton to be pursued before Thurs day, and probably, If It Bhould be flual- lyrcsolved to declare a gencnl strike of all tile combined forces, l; could not be put Into effect before Friday morn ing. In this connection, the interestlg question arises whether or not. If Pres- nrUan settement, for n spaoe of ttfQl ijWM——Wi■■■PPM .awatt-mjimi t fr wins iHird f/>r Hu* for. JdWt Gonr^eera allows Mmseif to be squaw miles. It was 'hard tor the tor tro £ Ni(v York t0 Chlcae0 by -oigners tin oomprehend M> teehnleal purport, but the very fact that) it mas a proclamation freon the President of the United Sttutes forbidding them to congregate in public highways and or dering them to remain ut home bad about the same effect us the sign of the manual of the czar upon u ukase addressed to the rasSdentB of some in terior town In Russia or Pohind. Pc was enough tor the Anarchists that che message conveyed a warring, and even if they oouid not exactly com prehend Just whatt the warning was, It was enough that it came from and bore the signature of the president of the United States. The men and women of determined character and desperate In clinations who on Saturday, during the conflict with the military, would have lorn their antagonists llnib from lib butt tor the sure aim of the rifles and the prodlng of tlie bayonets, read in their native tongue the proclumitton to which was nJtxached the name of Grover Cleveland and concluded that ft would he better to remain Indoors. What, in other (Harlots, the oomlbined force of regulars, state militia. United States marshals and cdty police had been una ble to accomplish with guns, bayonets. Pistols and regulation, guns, was brought about In the.fwinkHnB of an eye when the foreigners had digested tlie appeal of Grover Cleveland. President Debs and the officials of the union were enjoined today by the Un'Jtcd States court In Kansas as well os Ohio. It was also announced that the presi dent's proclamation yesterday forbade any meriting of Strikers. Grand Mas ter Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor attended a meeting this af ternoon. which Was suppressed upon on order from the chief of police to the owners of She 'hall, at Forty-seventh and Princeton streets, and to the lead ers themselves. The Object of the meeting was to organise a local < as sembly, but, the medtlng was ad journed without taking action. Officials of the union are expecting arrest hourly and are now prepared for it. At a legal conference held to day a line of defense, was mapped out and the question of' applying tor a writ of certiorari compelling the au thorities to take cognizance of the faot, as they claim that the roads are deliberately delaying the mails rather than run without Pullman coaches. The Intention is to carry the matter Into the courts and secure, If possible, an injunction forbidding the roads to hold train* on account of the absence or cutting off of Pullman cars. Another plan of attacks in the courts Is to se cure the affidavits of receivers of de layed malls and also the testimony Of railway employes, that the malls have been delayed solely by the roads, which refused to run out trains with out Pullman ears. It is to be shown that the Pullman cars are the cause of delay, and a ruling will be sought to compel the roads to run mail and passenger trains without palace cars. A large army of legal talenk hau been secured, and It Is understood that a number of leading attorneys of the city have volunteered their services. The impending arrest of the leaders has mads all of the siibordinaite offi cials cautious in their remarks and ex. press ions. / No meeting of the executive board waa held today, that la,'no regular meettng. No regular ’meeting will be held from this on. Grand Master Sovereign and Member Martin of the executive board attended a eecret conference this after noon. at wblcb the situation was dis cussed by the Knights of Labor. A Anal derision to stlke in numbers all over the country -was finally adopted. .Mr. Sov ereign said tonight that every Knight of Labor In the United States would go when called upon to assit the strikers. One more day of suspense and the city will either be restored to a peaceful con dition or riot and anarchy will run loose In the streets. This is the universal ver dict as to the outcome or the attempt at arbitration with the Pullman com pany which failed today, and the unani mous agreement of nil labor organisations Is to strike in sympathy with the Pull man employes and American Railway t'nion men, unless a settlement of the •trike and boycott Is effected before o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The rumors have been flying today to the probable action of the strikers a the authorities. It is not doubted that over 100,000 men will obey the call to strike as agreed upon at the meeting. Only one union has not agreed to strike, and that Is the printers'. The gravity of the situation is becoming rabn-unlon engineers and firemen, his I Ivls!': v will net be of particular profit.I One labor leader in Chicago said today that If he did so he might as well stay [In New York. Another feature to be noted In non-1 Inection with the molding of Chicago’s federated labor Is the fact, which was developed, that there was In the meet ing a hirgo and Influential conservative element whose action had practically blocked the plans of the more hot headed loaders until Ihe latter, In the excitement consequent upon the read ing of President Cleveland’s proclama tion, were enabled to stampede them end carry the strike resolution. There fore there Is reason to believe that even If this order for a strike finally go’s forward, many of those to whom It is directed will decline to obey It. So that with the men already Idle by the effect of the tie-up, the walk-out will not be nearly so Important ns antici pated by the lenders. ■What effect, if any, the action, of President "Wicks of the Pullman Com pany (bis morning In refusing In the most -positive manner to even meet a committee -to consider the question of arbitration wBl have .upon the final decision of the labor leaders and'thelr followers remains to bo seen. ■At 2 p. m. a Joint committee of the city council and of the federated trades unions called upon Mr-Wicks and asked him to’ consent to the ap pointment of five citizens, whose posi tions will not he those of arbitrators, but to determine whether or not the Pullman Company has anything to arbitrate. The committee as proposed wik to consist of two citizens chosen by the PuT.man Company, two by the circuit Judges and one by these four. President Wicks slated at the outset that arbitration was impossible, but listened while Alderman DIoGlMcn, chairman of -the committee, talked of the gravity of -the situation and urged that the company take steps looking to an amicable settlement of the strike. At the close of the Interview Mr. Wicks retired with his attorney, and returning, after a brief consultation de clared that the company would not receive the proposed committee. PULLMAN WON'T ARBITRATE, (Alderman McGlHen again urged that] the company receive the committee and Intimated that a corporation that derived such benefit from the govern* ment as the Pullman Company should be willing -to make some concession for the welfare of tho city and state. 1 "We have nothing to arbitrate,'' Mr. Wicka -replied. “We cannot receive such a committee.” Tonight’s action of the city council In respect to President Cleveland's or der bringing federal troops to Chicago was forestalled by a large number of indorsements of his action sent him by prominent business men of the city. The list of signatures included those of aE the prominent merchants, man ufacturers and bankers of Chicago. Touching the situation, it may be said that in Chloagq the roada were all do ing better than on any previous day since the strike began. Passenger trains were moving with more or less regularity and moving of freight has heeh carried forward with good result. At St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver It was reported that railroad business had about returned to Its normal con ation. Nashville also reported an Im provement. 'About the only points at which the strike -managers showed any gain were In the partial walk out of firemen at Fort Scott, Kan.; the freight men on the Kanahau and Mich igan. Charleston, W. Va.. and tho strike of the American Railway union men on the Big Four at Mattoon. It w-J.1 thus toe seen that at the lealllng railroad centres the striker* have made perceptible losses, while their gains are at comparatively unimportant points. The regulations which prevailed, in the government building today were a near approach to martial law. Deputy marshals were stationed on every floor and everybody was clxrtlenged who could not Show that he had business in the building. Tomorrow's sunrise will see tn this olty 1,000 more federal troops than there were here thla morning. These, with tho forces already In the field, will suffice, it Is believed, tomor row to make far better the conditions in this city, and the mobilization of. troops and rftarines at Ban rrandaco and of regulars at other points on ttie Pacific coast wlti suffice. In all proba bility. to start traffic on the trans continental lines tomorrow. NO CHANCE TO ARBITRATE. H Chicago, July S.—The council cont end discover if there bo grounds for ar bitration. He moved that it be the sense of the meeting that such a com mittee should be selected; that two members be named by the Pullman Company, two by the judges of the cir cuit c'ourt ot Cook county and the fifth member to be named by the four no chosen by the meeting. It was voted unanimously to adopt the proposition and. a committee com- pbsed of Aldermen McGltlen, Mariner, MWhoefer and Poere and Delegates El- deririn, EIro and Dingholun were - ap pointed to lay the proposition before Vice President Wlckes of the Pullman Company iur hla m, oii-un.- or tvj.-e- ttoai, and to report at 4:30 p. m. The officials of tile Pullman Company absolutely refused to entertain the prop osition made by the folnt oommlttee and there' seems nothing left to pre vent the great strike of ail Industries -arranged fqr twenty-four hours hence. A FEATURE OF THE STRIKE. Chicago, July 9.—Et has been report ed that It 1s tile Intention of the Ameri can Railway Union to torce a settlement of wages on all railroads where they are organized before they agree to the final settlement of tho present Strike. Presi dent Debs said that the report of the eompliootlbn of grievances now exist ing was in part true. "In some parts our local unions will demand a read justment of the wage scale before they return to work." he said, “but this de mand will not be general, nor Is It made n pant of tho issue of the present strus- g*e. It Is not true that any officers of the union have sounded local unions vn such questions. In many plncew. how ever. -the wage zouile has been lowered so far that ithe men cannot longer stand It. The uhions will not return to work until they get some satisfaction In that tine. However, our Agist now Is for the downtrodden Pullman employes, and wo cannot lot any other desires interfere in any way with the success'of our fight Per them.” In a considerable number of Instances Ills announcement of recent accessions to the strike ranks has been accompa nied with the news that the strikers consider the movement opportune tor them to make an effort to secure n res toration of amounts cut from their wages ait different times during the past two years. CORONER'S INQUEST. Hammond. Ind.. July 9.—Anthony Setdler. coroner of Lake ebunty, arrived here today and held an Inquest on the body of Charter Fleischer, who was Shot by a federal soldier yesterday. The Jury wns empanelled In the city hall. The mayor and members of the council and a large number bf citizens were pro,sent.

I Nothing Was Done of Importance, art No Agreement Was Reached., , Washington, July 9.—Tho first day; ot tho conference, on tho tariff bill be tween tho Democratic confreres of tho house wns without practical result or vlsibio progress, so far as oan be learned. Tho conference continued for 0 hours and was untinierruptcd only, for meals, -but when on adjournment was taken after 6 o’clock no Item In the U1I had been finally passed upon and agreed To. Tho day iwnn devoted to a general discussion of thb bill, ami the principal points of The conference on The pari of the house pointed to The rudioal change In policy involved lu the senate's departure from the freo r.b-w -material (d.inform and from tho ad valorem system, and asserted that Iho senate drill was not alt that the country demanded In xho way of tariff reform. The Republicans replied, tn ef fect, that while this might be true and might be dmlitcd by Individual me:a- b<-r«, 1t had proved tho most radical bill than could be passed In the senate, and they :tNii"Uin-'l -i d'.-l-rniiuali'm to d.and for (ho IbM practtatlly os tt had passed ths senate.

The house, while ad mitting the force of tho suggestion, say th* action of the house might also prove uncertain. The conference com mute* meets again at 10 olclock tomor row for an all day session. Some of the members desire a, night session tonight, tout Mr- MUson's physical condition was hardly equal to It. There had been noo hop* that the committee would make Rs report tn the house not later than Friday, and possibly by Wednesday, on verbal changes to which all could agree, but the con ference today brought out the fact that the differences were too wide to hop* for this pretlntioary report. On the contrary. It eu praciloally deter mined to keep at work unut all was finished, and there was lljtle Indication today that this could be accomplished thlx week. It was practically concluded today not to have a meeting of the full conimritee, at which the Repub lican members would be present, until the entire bill was finished. There Is, however,' a difference ot opinion on this pclnt, and this policy may, be ■changed. /
