The developments of tae* night and those of today have confirmed the con viction that not-ilng short of -overwhel Bring armed forces with Instructions to shoot to kill cun settle the trouble; or, as Col. Orofton put It: "It has ceased lo be t mere movement of troops and bis beoome a campaign." The local ami stake authorities have awakened to the grave nature of the strike, which Is afflldting the nation generally, but Chl- c-'XO In particular, and are taking meas ure# to apply adequate remedies. The dty police force baa already been re cruited up to over J,000 men and by re- quewt of Mayor Hopkins and Governor Ar.g.-ld tiwo brigades of state mtlltlu hn-e been ordered here to aid In quell ing the disturbance. At -the nation’s canttat also tbe fact ta rciv,gT!lz-'i that the crndltlone are en tirely out of the ordinary and that pro- vlrions must be made for RgMtng men •s have never been seen together In tbe uotory ot the nation in a time or peace If the authority and dignity cf the fed- e-ul government and processes of Hs courts are not to be lunched to arom for an IndeflMtie time. The strike ques tion Is so bifoettbus at certain points tl«at the president end his advisor* be lieve It would be unwtfce to withdraw any more regular troops from the coun try west of Chicago. It Is, therefore. In contemplation, should tbe forces, feder al. state and municipal already gathered here let uncqutl tc the tusk of restoring order, to send here ten compxnlee sta tioned cn the Canadian border with the reserved Intention. If circumstances de mand M. of exercising the right to call for 20.090 men of the crack military com- panles of New Tork and Pennsylvania. Tite day In Caicago has been one of cons;.int alarm and catling for police, deputy maraitala and aoldlers here to aid everywhere throughout the wide stretch of territory in the southern part of Site city. Kiot has been running rampant throughout the day, cars have been overturned, switches broken and tracka obstructed In various ways. Tits torch was applied in many In stance# to curs, switch towers nod the like. An attempt was made to tire a part of the great Armour packing plant. In fact, at one time the Incen diary blazes followed each outer in such quick succession that the Are de partment was put at straits to care for all of them. The strikers were Inter fering with the police, railroad and fire alarm telegraph systems, and in two Instance! policemen who were using the police telephone calls were stoned. In general the order of things com pared with that of yesterday was re versed. Tbe railroads were trying to break the. blockade by sending the trains out; today they recognized the Mi gavs°w°uny aTtealpT at outward movement, but there were some Incoming passenger trains on •avsral of* the roads, together with s few of the reflular milk trains. Be tween the two classes of traHtc the strikers managed to make trouble for nearly every road running la a south erly direction. The Fort Wayne, Lakt Shore, Michigan Central, Baltimore and Ohio, the Illinois Central, the Al ton, the Pan Handle, the Western In diana, the Rock Island and the Monon experienced dlfllculty In a greater hr loss jyf* norm# time or *n or tn® time during the day. The trtek.of ioarlng a crew of a train by cutting tba engine tooae and running it up the tracks opening fhe throttle and letting run full till baek upon rtie etandlng train, waa a now one and of * ch | * r * acier likely to be Imitated.

A SOLDIERS SENT TO PULLMAN. Chicago. July 6.—The Third battalion of the First regiment Illinois National Guard, under.evmnund of MaJ. Talmtn, numbering about 200 mtn, arrived at Pullman shbrtly before 9 o'clock to night. Great anxiety ha* been felt for the safety of this “erstwhile” model vil lage. All the stores, residences, Hght, power and manufacturing plant* are owned by the Pullnisn Company. That the crowd of Anutvftlstio strikers and sympathizers who have applied the torch right and left for the past few days sh'ould confine their operations to rite switch towers and box cans of the railroads and neglect the rlsh establish ment of the man whom they regard as their arch enemy has puzzled the peace officers of ' the dtv and tbe United States, and It Is possibly a wise pre caution to thus protect the tbwn of Pullman before any attack haa oocurred anil ewcpecially in view cf the growing excitment among the law breakers, who have thus far biffled Uncle Sam's reg ulars, the city police and the state mi litia. That this movement Was taken none too soon, was demonstrated early this morning by the appearanoe at the south end of the city by a crowd of people composed largely of those Who have caused the trouble In the neigh boring yards and suburban towns. The town was on the alert, and especially the office force and foundrjnmen, who are about iiie only WMMxMrw. of tho Pullman Company at work at this place. At the drat signs at trouble the fcunAeymen quit work and fled. The office force put their books Hi the safes and made their escape In a hurry. In West PHitman conductor, and grip- men were driven from their places and the complete tie up of the aystem waa effected. The strikers from Pull man proper took no part In the work of the mob. The Hotel Florence, the principal hostelry of the place, waa abandoned by employee, who generally sleep in the building. A number of boxes of guns and ammunition ware taken In anticipation of an attack. MASSING TROOPS. Chicago, J.u.y Two companies of regular Infantry from Fort Brady.
