Last Stasro of the Tariff Bill Reached
After a Spirited Debate.
WASHINGTON. July 7.-The intense in
terest and wild excitement which marked
the passage of the Wilson bill by the House
some months ago. and which was then
transferred in a modified and more dignified
form to the Senate, broke out apain in the
House to-day, when the tariff bill was put
In conference after some lively debate In
the House, the amendments being disagreed
to in gross and without opportunity for
separate votes on special schedules. Mr.
Reed took occasion to twit the Democrat
for following the precedent set by the Re
publicans In the Fifty-first Congress, a pro
ceeding which they had violently denounced
at the time.
Mr. Wilson then urged on the House the
necessity of standing steadfastly by the
two cardinal principles of the House bill
rree raw material ana the ad valorem sys
, tern of taxation and of thus keeping faith
; with the people who had sent them to Con
; grvss to effect this reform. He was an
swered by Mr. Reed, Mr. Tayne and others,
and then, after th adoption of Mr. Wil
son's motion and the appointment of con
i ferees, the House at 1:55 o'clock adjourned

CHICAGO, July 7.--"Ai d It is further or
dered that If any act of hostility be com
mitted, such as firing upon railroad trains,
assaulting trainmen, marshals or soldiers,
by throwing at them rocks, pieces of iron,
or other missiles, those assaults shall be
repelled by the use of firearms."
So wrote General Nelson A. Miles, in his
order, issued this afternoon, detailing fed
eral troops to assist United States marshals
in preventing obstruction to the movement
of mail and interstate-commerce trains. It
was, in short, notice to all rioters that tem
porizing with them had ceased, and there
after the policy of the government would
be put to an end to their'riot, arson and
pillage, by shooting to kill whenever and
wherever necessary. As chance would have
it, however, it did not fall to the lot of
the national troops to be the first to carry
out the spirit of this order. Company F,
Second Regiment, I. N. G., had that dis
tinction. The story of the encounter be
tween the thirty-eight young militiamen
composing this company, and a vicious mob
at Forty-seventh and Loomis streets, Is
'.old elsewhere in these dispatches.
Up to 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day
had been a comparatively quiet one. To be
sure, small mobs had been going about all
through the district west of State 6treet
and south of Thirty-ninth street, burning a
few cars here and there, and threats of
firing railroad shops and the like, but it
was more in the nature of bushwhacking
than anything else and not at all like the
massed bands of strikers "who gathered
along the railroad tracks yesterday and
the day before, absolutely blocking all
movement by sheer force of numbers.
This state of affairs was doubtless the
outgrowth of various conditions, such as
the presence of a vastly increased force
of soldiers and the fact that yesterday's
wrecking and firing of cars had left a
large share of the tracks to the south im
passable, so that about all the discernible
movement was in the shape of wrecking
trains endeavoring to bring order out ot
the chaos which existed all through that re
gion. The disturbed section to-day em
braced a space of about twenty-five square
miles, not to mention the sporadic bit of
incendiarism on the Burlington road at
Ciawford and Western avenues, the latter
having the distinction of being the work
of women and children. It is estimated
that In the district mentioned not less than
fifty thousand rioters ere out at one time
and another during the day, but the ground
was so thoroughly patrolled by the police,
the marshals and the military that they
found little opportunity of getting togth.et
In large numbers, as they have been doing
heretofore. Still some of them at the stock
yards found time for indulging in the grim
humor of laying out a graveyard in due
order, electing headstones at the graves
therein, bearing the names of their pet
aversions, including that of the President
of the United States.
The feature of the day was the showing
of it3 teeth by the Building Trades Council
of the city in calling out the steam fitters
in the big packing houses at the stockyards,
with the threat, that it was merely a pre
liminary to calling out its 25.000 members,
and the tying up of all building in the city.
Another feature of the day wa3 the pa
trolling of sentries before the federal sub
treasury, in whose vaults lie some fifteen
xniilioa dollars of Uncle San' money.
which General Miles feared might prove
& temptation to some of Debs's followers
not to be resisted, especially in view of
the fact that they are not very flush Just
now.
For the first time since the strike opened
there were several distinct notes of Im
provement In the situation, and these were
not conflned to Chicago. Here the postal au
thorities reported a noticeable improvement
in the movement of the mails. Outside of
Chicago it was to be noted that the strike,
while it made no progress worthy of men
tion at any point, gave many evidences of
having received It3 culmination and of fall
ing Influence. To begin with, the promise
that the seaboard trunk lines would be tied
up at Buffalo was not fulfilled, and the
strike was not extended to Pittsburg as
was predicted, and at a number of points
In the tied-up territory the strain was light
ened. At one or two points men who had
agreed to go out failed to do so; but, most
significant of all, perhaps, was the refusal
of the A. R. U. men at Louisville, Colorado
Springs and Denver to obey Debs.'s order to
strike. Jollet also reported a defection
from the ranks there, the employes of the
Joliet, Elgin & Eastern returning to work.
On the other hand, the friends of-law and
order had occasion to be pleased on ac
count of the massing of troops here at the
ordering of a decided movement of
the troops by the President with
a view to lifting the embargo
on Tacific coast business, both by the north
and central routes. To this end he ordered
General Merritt, at St. Paul, and General
Otis, at Vancouver barracks, to see to the
opening of the Northern Pacific lines, while
General Ruger, at San Francisco, and Gen
eral Brooke, at Omaha, were similarly in
structed to set things to moving on the
Central and Union Pacific systems.
To all this the only foil which the mana
gers of the strike were able to show was
an arrangement between President Debs
and Grand Master Workman Sovereign, ut
the Knights of Labor, to call out the mem
bers of that organization, some 150,000, pro
vided the other four members of the ex
ecutive committee would agree to the order
calling them out. It is estimated that Debs
has now about 73,000 men, so that if the
agreement goes, It will be no small addition
to the forces of idleness.
FIGHT AVITII A MOO.
The Mlllttn. Kill nnd Wound u Num
ber of Rioters.
CHICAGO, July 7. The strikers and the
State of Illinois came together this after
noon, and a pitched battle was the result.
The number of killed and wounded will
never be known, as the mob carried off a
number of men who were seen to fall, and
whether they were dead or wounded, or
how many of them fell, it is impossible at
this time to ascertain. As far as known,
the casualties were as follows: '
JOHN BURKE, striker, killed by a bay
onet thrust through the abdomen.
The wounded are:
LIEUT. HARRY REED, Company F, Sec
ond 'Infantry, I. N. G., struck on' the head
by stone; condition critical. ,
THOMAS JACKMAN, shot in back; will
die.
JOHN KONDER, stabbed with bayonet;
will die.
UNKNOWN MAN, shot through liver;
will die.
UNKNOWN BOY, seventeen years old,
shot through abdomen; will die.
TONY GAJEUSKI, shot in right arm.
HENRY WILLIAMS, shot in left arm.
JOHN KERR, shot in hip.
JOSEPH RHINEBERG, three bayonet
wounds; may die.
ANTON KOCMINSKI, ehot in right side.
JOfcEPII SZCEPALSXI, shot in shoul
der. UNKNOWN BOY, shot in left leg.
ANNIE SIEGLER, bone in left leg so
badly shattered that amputation was neces
sary. ,
The fight occurred at the Intersection
of Forty-ninth street and the Grand Trunk
tracks, a locality -which has always had an
evil name and which can produce any day
two toughs for every square yard of ter
ritory within a radius of a half mile. Seri
ous trouble was expected here early this
morning. Before 9 o'clock in the morning
a mob had gathered and made threats of
burning the Grand Trunk roundhouse. Aid
was asked from the authorities, and Com
pany F, of the Second Infantrj', thirty
eight strong, commanded by Captain Kel
ly, was hurried to the spot. The militia
was reinforced by a number of deputies,
and the xrob was pressed back from the
roundhouse. The mob gathered again at
Fiftieth street and began to turn over
freight cars and tear up the track. A squad
of police under Lieutenant Duffy attacked
the mob and several shots were fired on
both sides, but nobody was hurt.
The mob then went back once more to
Forty-ninth street, and while a portion of
the crowd, which by this time was fully
eight thousand strong, occupied the militia
and the deputies, others ran a freight car
into the pit of a turntable and made the
machine useless. Superintendent Atwater
and Yardmaster McKee, of the Grand
Trunk, with a gang of men set to work to
remove the obstruction, while the mob,
which had now grown to be very ugly,
stood around howling and hooting and oc
casionally letting fly a stone at the soldiers.
This condition of affairs prevailed for two
or three hours, the militia behaving with
excellent spirit and showing good discipline..
Finally the mob, encouraged by the fact
tnat the troops did not fire, began active
hostilities. A crowd of men pushed a
freight car from a siding onto the track,
where the train which had brought the
militia to the scene was standing, with
the evident intention of blocking the
tracks so that the militia would have no
line of retreat. Captain Kelly conferred
with Superintendent Atwater and concluded
that it was impracticable to clear the
track, and that as the mob was growing
wildtr every moment, the be3t thing to
do was to leave the place before the strik
ers proceeded to such extremes as would
necessitate his opening fire on them. He
accordingly detailed the half of his com
pany to move the car which blocked the
track on which the train was standing,
a&J with the remainder held back tfce
crowd which began to press closer and
closer, as it saw signs of the troors mak
ing a retreat. He drew his men back
slowly, several times turning them to con
front the crowd when it came too close.
Again and again the mob, shouting, howl
ing and using the vilest language, made a
rush, but every time Kelly met them steadi
ly with his men, and the crowd paused bo
fore the threatening rifles. Finally, several
toughs on the edge of the mob made a
rush at Yardmaster McKee, one of them
flourishing a revolver. McKee drew his
own revolver and fired, but the bullet flew
wide. The strikers by this time were fairly
wild with rage, and brick., stones, chunks
of coal and coupling pins rained around
the troops. Lieutenant Reed was struck
twice on the head in quick succession by
stones and fell to the ground like a dead
man. Kelly then concluded the time had
come, and, wheeling his men quickly, gave
the word to charge, and the handful of
militiamen sprung forward with leveled
bayonets. John Burke wa3 standing in the
front of the mob throwing coal as fpt as
he could move his arm. One of the first
soldiers in the charge plunged his bayonet
clear through his body, the point coming
out at the back. Burke went down like a
log and died in a few minutes.
The mob broke before the charge, but
quickly rallied, and after , a short pause
came on again, sending a pattering of
revolver bullets before It. The troops, the
deputies and the police watted for no or
ders, but the rifles came to a level, re
volvers were drawn and a storm of lea led
hall swept into the mob. Men fell right
and left, but the militia and deputies and
the police pressed forward, rapidly driv
ing the crowd before them in the wildest
confusion. It was all over in three min
utes, and the militia marched into their
train, and with the deputies returned to
the city. They looked as though they had
been through a b&ttU when they dl
embarked at Dearborn Station. Their uni
forms were torn, hats gone, they were
covered with dust and dirt, and many
of them had been badly bruised by flyinz
stones.
As the train withWhe militia on board
moved off fully twenty thousand people
crowded about the handful of police left be
hind. From all sides they rushed upon them,
hurling stones and iron in their mad as
sault. The men, realizing their position,
drew their revolvers, and backing up(
against each other, prepared for a desp:r-
ate battle. The crowd halted for a raorae.it
and officer Ryan, breaking from the crowd,
hurried toa patrol box and called the pa
trol wagon. LieutenantKeleher and twelve
men responded, but in the meantime the
crowd had closed in again on the no.v re
treating police, following them with a volley
of stones. The work that had been done by
the wrecking party was attacked as the
police retreated. A car was set on lire, the
switch close by broken, an 1 rails torn up.
An alarm of fire wa3 sent In, and with it a
second call for police assistance, to which
Captain O'Neill and thirteen men re
sponded. The condition of things was extremely
critical. Loomis street, the heart of the
Anarchist settlement, was crowded by a
howling, shrieking mob. The patrol horses
were urged through it, the crowd sullenly
parting. Without flinching they clubbed
their way through to their fellows, and
then all started back against the crowd.
At the sight of the reinforcements the
crowd fell back. Each officer thought his
life in danger, and without any order
they raised their weapons and f.red as
fast as possible directly into the crowd,
which wavered, and then beat a retreat,
first replying to the unexpected rain of
shot with a shower of stones. As they
retreated, leaving several on the ground,
the police followed with clubs, showing
no mercy. At every step they knocked a
man down, and as they advanced the
crowd showered stones on them like
hall. Rushing into near by saloons the
mob barricaded the door and made a
stand, but were driven out through win
dows and back doors like rats, clubs de
scending on their heads at every jump.
Windows In the hjuses adjoining were
suddenly thrown open and a volley of shot
was poured into the police, who returned
the fire, and the mob finally scattered into
alleys and side streets, ending the pur
suit. The ground oer which the flht ha 1
occurred was like a battle field. The men
shot by the troops and police lay about
like logs. Hats kr.ocked off and coats
thown oft to lesse.i weight in the fight
were scattered abo it, while on the Loomis
street crossing, w'aere the eight police of
ficers had made their stand, were fully
five hundred large stones that had been
thrown by the mob.
"I believe," said Superintendent Atwa
ter, "that ac least a dozen men were
killed. I saw men strewn all over the
tracks, and they were dead men, too. The
mob was not far away when we began to
fire, and for about three minutes the
militia, the deputies and the police, who
fought like devil3, were simply pouring
lead into the crowd. We were close
enough and the mob was big enough, and
I don't think many bullets went wile.
There were more killed than we will ever
know about."
The statements of Superlnt:n lent At
water as to the number of men shot down
are upheld by the militiamen and by the
deputies, many men declaring that they
had seen the strikers carryinj away men
who were either dead or woundrd. The
Injured man whose names are rin were
brought to the city by the po'ke and placed
In the hospital. The report of the light oc
casioned great exciten.ent at army head
quarters, and the request of Pj'.Ice Inspec
tor Hunt that several comp:ir.:?.i cf rerru- '
lars and a Gattling gun bo s.'nt out to the !
scene added to th feeling. The mob be-
came quiet at evening, however, and the .
regulars and artillery w-:re hcid r.t the de- 1
pot all night. !

HAMMOND, Ind., July 7. This city will
probably be under martial law before to
morrow night. The sheriff to-night wired
Governor Matthews that it wa impossible
to any longer control the strikers, .and sev
eral companies of militia are expected heie
early to-morrow morning. The situation
tc.ok a serious turn this evening, and what
may happen before morning is hard U
surmise. The telegraph operators of all
roads in the city have been warned to keep
inside their offices and give no information,
uii pain of having their heads broken. Th
:m i.ager of the Postal Telegraph Company
has be.n chased out of town. At 9 o'clock
the mob vent to the Western Union file
and chased out four operators. The Michi
gan Central operators and the Monon nlghl
operator' had to flee for their lives. It il
expected that all communication vh the
city will soon be entirely cut off. ,11
p. m. it was reported that the Michigan
Central operator had been caught by th
mob and beaten and kicked nearly to death.
At an early hour this evening the Michi
gan Central attempted to nun a freight
tra'n into Chicago, in charge of englneci
McLean and fir.man Cooper. The traia
was stopped just west of the State line
and the strikers charred on the engine.
The cmw, after attempting to resist th
striker's", was compelled to surrender.
Brakrman Hudson was badly injured ia
the Kght. IL B. Miles, superintendent ct
interlocking switches of the illchlg?
Central, who happened to bi at the'CTit
at the time, was seriously Injured ly tha
mob and may d'e. , ,
At 11 o'clock to-night everything wai
quiet, but the most conservative admit that
it is only a calm before the stoma. Th
action taken by the strikers iicd their sym
pathizers when the Monon attempted tc
run trains with Pullmans attached to
night Is a fair sample of what may be ex
pected. President Shields, of the locaJ
American Railway Union, says lf troopi
are brought it wl!l be a case of starving
them out. Any person who gives or eelli
them anything to eat will be spotted and
dealt with accordingly. At a late hour 1o
night all the employes of the George lL
Hammond company struck. This meani
that the main support of the town will
shut down, and it looks now like tmi
one else would starve besides the troops.
None of the roads hs run any trains
through here to-day except the Michigan
Central. Monon and Erie. When the first
section of train No. S. on the Monon, ar
rived to-night at 8:3-, one hour ahead of
time, the streets seemed to be deserted
and the citizens were congratulating eae.i
other over the fact that there was r.o pros
pect cf any trouble to-night. The train ha 1
scarcely come to a stop before strikers b
gan to flock toward the depot in drove'.
No effort was made to molest this traia
while it was standing at the depot, hut it
had only gone a .hort distance after leav
ing the slatlon before It wis stopped and
an attempt made to detach the p'.ecpera.
The stiikers were not successful, however,
and the train continued on its way.
The second section came in as eoon as
the first had left, and i still hrre. This
train was the Indianapolis and CiTiCiniuil
fast train, and carried three Pullmans. As
soon as it had stopped Kume one cut out
the air on the front sleeper and the tral i
was unable to proceed. By this time the
crowd had swo'.itn to at lta?t iwo thou.in I
and Deputy United States Marshal Scrol
ler and his twenty deputies were unable
to do anything toward moving the train.
The train was In charge of conductor
Stevens, with engine .No. 4'. An attenu t
xas made by the strikers to get the
engineer and fireman to desert their en
gine, but without avail.
After tho strikers had detached th
sleepers the train pulled down the tracte
a snort distance, and the Mrikers pushed
the sltepers on the sid'ntr Just south (
Sibley nre-t. While this was being don-i
some one in the crowd cried out 1j bun
them, but cooler head prevailed, and for
a time they woie saved, but It If fx
pected by many that th torch will le
applied before morning. There Is one car
on the train with mail, tome of which is
three days old now.
The Krie began running train out of
Chicago at noon to-day. The first to arrlva

o'clock this afternoon. Several more pasvi
