That recent events should cause excitement la this great city 'is hot to be wondered at; that the city la ao quiet at time of writing, considering all attendant cireamstaoeea.

is matter of congratulation, aad speaks well for the good sense and Jevs of order inherent In the workingman. To some who have not gives much thought to the subject this may sound somewhat strange. It la true. TUB WOBXIBOXAir FBOFZB wants order; wants work to enable him to keep hia home and family together; wante as well a fair remuneration for his work, bit will submit to reduction to tne limit before he commits himself and deprives those dependent on him of the necessaries of life possibly. When this limit has been reached and he dads that he eaanqB make both ends meet, the workingman is liable to, and does, adopt what seem at nrat sight to be harsh measures for obtaining what he considers he is entitled to.

but let it be remembered that he baa at preeent no other means ot presenting his case to his employers ia a way in which it would be aure of receiving any attention. What has been the result of each methods of making known tbe wants of the workingmen. need not be stated here. It Is too fresh in the minds of the public to need repetition, and. if the truth could be known.

proOaoi ao one regrets such proceedings more than tne true workingman. It is conceded on every hand that the outrages recently reported in the East were KOI TBI WOBK OF BalXBOAD ZXPLOTZS, Out rather of the vagrant, networking element, which forms a large percentage la clues and ia always oa hand to participate in and help along any scene of riot and disorder. Of course among the working classes there are men of ail kinds of feelings aad inclinations regarding the subject matters on hand, but tbe general run of them, so fares can be observed in this city, are in favor ot a peeino settiemeat ef their differences, and really hope that Chicago may be passed over ao far as any strike is concerned. Of course it is not to be inferred that a strike here is out of the question, but if it should happen to come, even though the turn out ot employes be largo, the number ot railroad employes or workingmen actively par ticipating would dc comparatively small. THE CITT WAS EXCITED yesterday, and apparently unduly ao.

It la tonishiag how a phantom, a rumor of something oareiy possible, will oisturb a community, it is astonishing, when suen a commotion is well started, how any trifling event will fan the flame till It becomes maxbliied into formidable prouor Lions.

THS BAILWAT OZTXOZS.

There waa little else talked ot at the head 'quarters of ths Chloago roads yesterday but the absorbing topic ot the strike, aad the chances ot its getting to be a Chicago institution. Tbs majority, at this chance being inquired about, shook their heads, but subsequent conversation showed that they were not so certain about it, A minority said frankly that they expected ths monster would torn up ia this town before the week was two days older it ths demands of the reduced smcloyes were not reeded to. Aad thev (the minority! would give the trunk line managements a lively raking over the coals tor their trying to get even by gouging heir employes for all tne pig headed cutting of rates that went on last summer and fall. It waa clear, the strikers, at least some of them, found support and approval among tha Tory railway officers themselves. THB CHICAGO, ALTOS' AKD ST.

LOUIS. Tbe embargo at East Su Louis has drawn tbe Chloago and Alton Hoad into the strike, seemingly against the will of the 300 employes of the company in that place. Tnis is the first of the Chicago roaaa to the West to feel the power of the strikers. A wild rumor yesterday morning had It that the striking spirit had reached up to Bloomington. where are located the vast shops ot the company, with 2JMK1 employes.

A prompt contradiction was given to this announcement at the General Superintendents office. There was little chance of the employes joining tbe strike unless compelled to. Wages paid on tne Alton are higher than those for which the strikers are contending on tbe other roads, ao reduction has been made for years, and the interruption to buainess at East St. Louis is accountable only oa the ground ot intimidation. This view of tbe ease tbe only one held here.

Still, in order to make other employes a little more careful about "laying down." and also to gently remind ot their duty those who have already given way to the threats or blandishments of the strikers. General Superintendent McJtuilin aent an order along the line yesterday, discharmns all employes at what ever point the strikers should get possession of the road. The order includes not Olily the crews of surrendering trains, but also the flagmen. station men. section bands, and laborers of every kind.

This order, eenainir. will enforce tne notion that the employes aa well as tne company are Interested in keeping the track open and busi ness uninterrupted. It is believed sslmilar course wlli be taken, if necessary, on the St. Louls.haasae Ulty and Aortnern lioao. in consequence oi tne interruption at East Su Louis no freight trains except those under way before the strike reached this city yesterday.

Perishable freight for St. Louis waa refused In this city aad at ail points along the line, iiov soon the route will be open cannot be guessed. It it should be kept closed during to day. it is not unlikely Jtanaas City freight will be shipped by the company over the Hopkins Division of the Burlington and Quincy. TUX MILHIUAJf CESTJAAli waa open for both treuzht and oassengera the only one of the trunk lines thus open.

A rumor aa usual announced a strike of heavy propor tions somewhere along the line, but on being bunted down amounted to this: One of the clerks had wondered audibly, with two or three listen ers, whether the Fa Paw Division wou dn't get on the war path. Tbe Paw Paw Division is three miles long exactly, stretching from that to the main line at Lawion, aad operated by aa outfit equally extensive. On tbe Central there ia the best of prospects for things continuing to be as quiet aa at present: that is, in the way of excitement. As to business. It is doing an immense amount, especially la freight, as it is the only trunk freight line now open.

Still, there is aa evident purpose on the part ot tne officers to limit the amounts forwarded, as tne Eastern connections are aot the steadiest. Perishable freight was being refused yeeterday for points beyond Buffalo. TBE LAIJI SHOBB BOAD took out no freight trams yesterday after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and later in the day a general prohibition on freighters, to be in force till further notioe. waa received from headquarters. The blocked state of the Eastern Division ik the reason.

Passengers were taken as usual yesterday, but the autnoritiea would not guarantee a speedy arrival at their destination to any who bought tickets to points beyond Cleveland. The 5:15 train, notwithstanding, took out a large number bound for New l'ora. who said they woaid run the risk. The authorities tbemselvee here believe the blockade beyond Cleveland ia but temporary, at least as far as concerns paea engera. THB VOBTHWESTEB.

A report wae circulated about noon that the brakemen at the Northwestern depot, on the North Side, had struck, and also that the em 'loyes at the shops beyond California avenue had ollowed suit. Intense excitement resulted over town, and many people started for what purported to be tne scene of action. On their reaching Wells street depot the oaaelessness of the report was established. Everything about the building and in tbe yards waa found just aa usual. The officers were considerably annoyed.

naturally. at such damaging report gaining credence. So far from a strike being even threatened among their employee, direct assurance had been given that the mea re satisfied with the present wages, all things considered. This had come to them from private sources, and also publicly, that morning about 10 o'clock, when a delegation from Luo empioyea called at headquarters and had an interview with the nicer. The delegation spoke for the conductors, the firemen, the engineers, and the brakemen.

No official information had been reoetved confirming the special telegram to this paper that the company had compromised with the strikers. If the demands of the strikers nad been conceded.

Mr. Gorham felt that The lima Oczam had sources of information not open to him. still, he could not aay that tne aewe waa incorrect. AT THB BAirmOKB AKD OHIO OPrTCSS the news waa received yesterday morning of the extension of the strike aa far west aa Garrett. where, aa confirmed la another column, the engine waa prevented from leaving the yard, and the firemen driven off.

No violence was done to railroad property. The embargo on freight trains a till continues, owing to the interruptions on the main line. Regular through passenger trains were resumed yesterday, the belief being that they would work their way through. Not the least Interruption was anticipated this side ot Wheeling. As on the other two trunk lacs, the freight trains were abandoned.

THB IXJJUOIS OESTBATj managers feel confident that there will be no trouble with their men. as there was a conference between tbe officers of tne road and a dele Sption of engineers from each division in May. were discussed amicably by all parties, and the engineers consented to accept an increase of hours of labor which was virtually a reduction of wages, wiih the assurance that aa soon aa times would warrant it 'the company wonld restore the old rates. On this road there is perfect confidence between the men and the officers, aad if at any time the former except to any measure on the part of the company, a friendly interview has righted altera. There la scarcely a chance of a disturbance.

MILWAUKEE AKD 8T. PAUI The excitement baa not reached the Milwaukee aad St. Paul employee. A very slight reduction waa made in their pay eix months ago, but ainoe then the very good wages have been left untouched, and It is known that no further reductions are contemplated. A dispatch was received yesterday morning from the General Man as ar at Milwancee statin 2 that all waa quiet and that there was no danger ot a strike.

No reductions to speak, ot have been made laTcly. A OOB7EBZXCB.

(ast evening there was a conference ot the military staff ot the State, the Mayor. Superin tendent of Police. Assistant Superintendent ot Police, and a large posse of patrolmen at the Central Station, which continued till long after midnight. The nature of their deliberations could adt be lsarnsd. except that it was Intended to be prepared for any emergency that might arise.

Everybody eoncernetUappeared to be calm, and sure that nothing unosal would occur. The Mayor assured a reporter of The Ietee Oceab thrt he did not fear any disturbance, but thought It the part of wisdom to be on the alert. The Superintendent of Police, of course, de oil ties to state What arrangements no umm mn to auppress a disturbance In oase one ahould oc .11. Kut i.vi ii 1 ti to meet aev em ergency. Colonel Sherer.

of the First, and Colonel Torrance have made Mr. Hiekeya office their headquarters, ia order that they may be oa hand if wanted. Tbe two regiments are at their respective armories ready to move at eommana. THE FIRST BBOIXEET ware on hand earl laat evening, ready for any emergency that might arise. A call had been Is sued la the afternoon, ostensibly for a drill, out really to be under arms to quell any demonstrations that might follow the mass meeting on the corner ot Market and Madison streets.

About Iri hundred ot the membera aaaembled at the Armory and donned their fatigue suits, put their muskets in position, and tnen neid tnemseives in readiness for the word ot command. Colonel Sherer and Mavor 8waia were on hand anxiously awaiting any word that might eome beiokening disorderly proceedings. Meanwhile the gallant "Millingtery' gathered in groups, laughed, chatted, and had a jouv good time. Comuanr B. Caotaln Howard command ing, were directed to remaia at the armory during the night, ao that any bloodthirsty workingmen would rot find the "First" entirely off their guard.

Beda were provided for them, and no doubt the "boys relished the fun ot the thing a good deal more than if they were ia acuve service. THB SBCOKD BBOmST. Bat a few less than three hundred members of the Second Begiment assembled in their armory, corner of Jackson and Canal streets, last night, pursuant to call announced la yesterday's papers. The impression prevalent among the men that there would be trouble to nigbt. served to bring them to time, and all eame prepared for the worst.

Though placed under atnot marching orders till 12 o'clock, luckily there waa no occasion for their services. The civilian soldiers were perfectly willing to assist in ths protection ot the elty. but hoped that no sueh necessity would arise. The threatening aspect ot the mass meeting on Market street led many to believe it would bot disperse withoutjiome inflammatory action, but aa lata in the evening the crowds gradually diminished, despite the windy remarks of some of tha aueakera. no aeriona tronble waa expected.

The early part ot the evening was occupied in battaliou drills, embracing bayonet enargea and street fighting. As the boys marched around their large drill room and went through the different maneuvers. they made cuite a disnlayn their war looking fatigue suits. Colonel Quirk put them to a severe test, but they drilled flaely and gave evidence of a good showing if called upon. During the evening Major General DucatTof the State militia, and General Strong, of the United States army, eame in and expressed themselves well pleased with the regiment, the drilling and general appearance The regiment is supplied with Springfield rifles, of which they nave 300 and tne men to handle them.

For safety, on account of the Eeoeral open condition of the Armory. Company 1 was for guard duty till 6 o'clock this morning. Captain Eagle commanding. Shortly after the adjournment of the Market street meeting, the regiment broke ranks and left for their homes, with orders to be ready at a minute's notice. A squad was also picked for guard duty today.

A notable feature of last night's drill was the unusually full attendance of the members of Company B. which is composed almost entirely of railroad men. The spirit of their talk was to obey orders under any and all circumstances, aad they were undoubtedly earnest ia their expressions. ARRIVAL or JaXUTABT. Six companies ot the Twenty second Regiment.

United States Infantry, arrived ia this eity last evening from Sioux City, and were quartered a short distance out. ready to respond to any call that might be made upon them. If quiet continues, tney will probably proceed East to morrow. The battery of six guns which It was at one time supposed were rusting ia neglect, have been divided among these parties of volunteer veterans; that two of the guns are In the charge ot a cquad of warriors In the West Division; two others are in charge of a squad of men in a certain unmentionable stable on State street, and not at this end of it; while the remalningwo guns are in a well known pubiio building in tne very center of the eity. ready to sweep LaSaiie street, commencing at the Bock Island Depot.

Further, it was discovered that a company of the State minlL numherins aome thirty or forty men. were located at. and would remain in the Armory police station. Ureal pity waa, exoressea uim the patriotic warriors hadn't had their suppers, up to 11 o'clock laat evening. Superintendent Mickey benevolently ordered the officer in charge niihnmnuiif to set a aupoer for the hungry from Madison street, and tell the lucky restau rateur to aend in nis Dill to tne rouce vepan meat.

The officer in charge at the Armory station didn't know all this, but the hungry ones did. aad hunger let out the secret. THS WOBJEXHGrMTJaJTS XESTZHO.

In obedience to to this call from 12,000 to 15. 000 persons assembled oa Market square last evening, a majority ot whom, though workingmen. apparently were BOT IS BTHPATHT WITH THB ISCZHDIABT SFISir evinced la the circular. The majority were almply "lookers on la Venice." who expected. evidently, to see something of a row.

It waa aot till nearly 9 clock that the arrival of the goodly sized processions announced that speeches were about to commence. The erowd Immediately surged about ths square, aad. ulti mately gathered in the vicinity ot four wagons which had been improvised aa speaking stands for the occasion. Then the flew of oratory com menced, it mar ba bere remarked that the utmost order availed throughout the assemblage. This may accounted for from the fact that the disor derly element was largely ia tne minority, ana that throughout the crowd were scattered a large number of POUCEJEBB DRESSED XB CITIZENS CLOTHES, but whose presence was instinctively telt by those disposed to be at ail turbulent.

But perhaps tne prineiial reason for the order that prevailed mar be found ia the pledges made by the delegation of the leaders ia this movement, who called on the Mayor yeeterday morning and pledged mm tneir nouor tnat tne meeting snouia be aa orderly one. and that the speeches should ha moderate in tone, aot at ail calculated to arouse disorder. AKOJTO THOSB TBESEET at the meeting who were more noticeable than the ordinary run of mortals, wore Sheriff Kern, who was around looking after "the boya," for vnom ne manuesiea muon concern, ana wa 01 a lively kind; County Clerk Lieb. whose entire sympathies are for the underpaid, poorly fed laboring classes, and for whom he declares himself ready to suffer. Judge Forrester, equally ia sympathy with the workingmen.

and just from the important Harms ease. umbers ot others, like John Forsy the. etc. mingled among the assembled multitudes and talked over the situation ot affaire. Just previous to the arrival of the speakers a half drunken fellow jumped upon the stand and loudly proclaimed that the meeting waa called to encourage the etriEers.

and if the police and militia shot at them they would snoot back. He was pulled down by his fellows, and just then the procession turned the corner, bearing, transparencies of all aorta. Among the mottoes were: United we sum, divided we tail;" "Life by work, or deatn by fight:" "We want work, not chanty;" "Liberte. Edaiite. Fraternite." About 9 o'clock Mr.

George Sohulling stepped upon the platform, and announced himself as the Chairmaa ot the assembly, and proceeded to stats the object of the meeting, which, he said waa not to issue a declaration of war. but to consider the best means of overcoming the present difficulties. He trusted that the meeting would bean orderly one. and be conducted with the dignity befitting the American workingman. As the first speaker of the evening he would ealiupoa KB.

Mr. Philip Van Patten asked the attention of the erowd while be read the following resolutions: Webeeas, Upon the principal railroads of the United States a conflict is now pending between the employes and tbe managing officers of said roads, caused by reduction of wages through our suicidal system ot free competition." Wbebeas. In the hands of seillsh and ambitions a cut throat warfare has been persistently kept bet sea the rival rail roads in which not tha stockholders bov the officials are levied npon la the rgeeral reduction of expenses, but the wages hsve been steadily cut down until human naturs Caa ao longer suffer In illence. WasEKaa. At all times, but more Ingtbe present prostration of business, every re duutloa ot wages among the working classes I a direct injury to society, for.

aa the purchasing poser of the people is reduced and rigid economy 1 enforced. the volume of business and the amounts oroducd are proportionately decreased. Wbebeas. The National Government'eould. If properly reformed, take possession and opernte all the railroad and telegraph lines of the country, just as tbe principal railroads and telegraph lines of Europe are now managed.

Wbkseas. The existence of wealth and powerful corporations controlling thousands of working men, ruling, through their wealth, our leaislative. judicial and executive offices, is dangerous to tbe welfare of the republic and Is fast inaugurating a monarchy of capital: therefore be it Assoleed. That all workingmen and good cltf ecus throughout the United States are earnestly called upon to unite in a general demand that proper steps be taken by our National Government to enable the people gradually to obtain possession ot and pax ate ail the railroad aad telegraph lines. BetoUwd, That to immediately stop tbe terrible and merciless operations of tree competition among workingmenawe call upon all comrades of toil to commence without further de'ay the organization of a great federation of labor, and asaisting and enoour ging the building up of strict and sensible trades unions upon a national and international basis, and arriving at political power to secure legislation in the direct Interest of tbe working classes.

Retained. That only bv elevating the condition of the people aa a whole can the benefits ot progress and civilization be enjoyed and jnain tained. That to to this end the hours of labor must be reduced as new labor saving machinery Is developed, else tbe most terrible consequences will arise, and the civilization of the Nineteenth. Century become a faroe. The crowd waa asked IX they would Lidorew these resolutions, and aa affirmative ahout weak up.

and Lawyer Korth. THB SOUTHWEST OOBHXB. At the southwest corner of Market and Madison streets a wagon, was drawn uo. The speakers mounted it, and addressed the erowd in quick: succession. At first one Thomas Gillen waa called for.

and he made an explanatory speech, chiefly remarkable for profanity. He urged was against monopolies, and with powder aad ball. He was cheered to the echo by the crowd. Ho waa followed BY Michael Kennedy, who pro claimed himrelf aot a workingman. but only a small storekeeper.

He at once lost favor with the crowd, ana was quickly hooted down by the moo. Cries of Hildreth. Hildreth." then rose above the din. and soon tbe wandering Demosthenes eame forward in answer to his "constitooenta." and awelled the hubbub with tbe aame stentorian tones that used to ring out ia the chamber of the Common Council. He thought it was a shame to the age and to the American people that men should be laboring for the pittance of 75 cents a day.

He never knew what misery waa until yesterday, when he had been told to what extremity the poverty stricken manses were driven. What waa to be done? Were men to' stand quietly and see their wives driven to prostitution to save their children from starving? IA voice, mot much." What would they do about it? Cries ot "Strike, The strike would eome. Ii ft eame. as it would, within forty eight hours he hoped each man would rise ia his might for the "Protection ot the workingmen's rights aad. against riot and tumult.

CheereJ He waa followed oy aa unknown man, who said that these men had been talking ot their wrongs. but had not said how to right them. It must te done as the strikers had done at the East. He waa ready to die. Better a thousand men be snot down than ton thousand starve to death.

This speaker seemed to strike the key mat pleased the crowd, aad ha disappeared amid aeatening cneers. About 10:30 o'clock Mr. John Palson, a tervent youth of an apoplectic appearance, mounted the pile of barrels composing the rostrum at the southwest corner, and in ten minutes shouted himself hoarse in describing the miserable state of the workingman of the present day. Ha dwelt on the a tarring condition of his eolabor era, aad no doubt regretted he wasn't thinner. so as to give point to his words.

He was no speaker, had never spoken before, but felt his heart eo full on seeing the multitude that he waa compelled to elimb up on those barrels in spite of himself. Ho belonged to a club which met every Thursday night in a basement saloon at the corner of Ban ooleh and State streets, and he would ask all his friends to meet him there some night, when they would hear cheering words and lar better epeaa ers than ho was. He felt tor the laboring classes, aa ha considered they were ground This didn't ought to be, as they were the strength of tne country tney were the producers, ana everybody who accumulated wealth made it out of them. The time had eome whenlwhat had eons on for rears should be reversed; the rich and tne poor would have to change places, it would not have been ao had they been treated anyway fairly, but they had not been; and now they would help themselves to what was really their own. The work angmen were despised and looked down upon by the rich men.

and why was it? It waa because of eueh newspapers as the Times and ZVib 1 wae. Ha would ask if any ono presi ent had read those articles the Trio unm had published within she last few days Yes. yes. and uproar. It waa auon salk aa thai which ruined the workingman.

If they wanted to do aay good for themselves the first thing they would have to ao would be to remove such men from their way; he would apeak plainly and aay what waa in hla mind: he meant they Ought to bang Mr. Storey and Mr. MedilL Loud and prolonged cheering and erica We will." We By this time the speaker's voice had sunk to a whisper by reason of hia efforts: turning to a henchman he murmured "water" and a am all boy fetching the beverage from the cor ner. dive proceeded to hand It ua to the modern. Cicero.

The boy being very short, however, and the modern Cicero way up. the latter, in reach ing for the coveted rejuvenator Host his balance, and tumbling from the barrels fell onto and ex ti ngu in ed is only torch, and eventually descended Into a pail ot ioe water. Aad this closed the show. The animosity of the crowd toward the Ttmcs and TrxbuMf waa shown very decidedly in the anxious and significant solicitude nuaifeeted by several members of the erowd for an iutrodno tion to the representatives of these sheets. The attaches of these papers.

when interrogated repudiated their connection, and Kent at a sale distance from the wrothy multitude. AT ialPlTIOHT ASTJ It was rumored oa tbe street during the night that at about 8 o'clock a demonstration had been made la the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne aad Chicago depot, at Madison street bridge, aad tnat at more trains would run from there. The state ment caused considerable anxiety, aad the fact that at about the hour mentioned a considerable crowd, headed by a band, filed Into theeLatios aeemed to strengthen the report that trouble bat commenced. Happily, however, it turned out be "a fizzle." True, a erowd Beaded by a band had invaded the depot.

but it waa nothing more than a party of citizens awaiting, the arrival of the Turner'e Society, to welcome them home after a short sojourn in Milwsukee. So far ao good, but it was not so enoouraging to visit the depot at midnight and find the eastward bound Fort Wavne train, which ought to have gone out at 9:10 o'clock, lying stationary at the platform, and the engine apparently in ao condition for making a speed exodus. The paseen gers. who were assured that the train waa liabns to a tart at aay moment, appeared to make the beat of a bad job. Some few turned in on tha seats, and ao doubt dreamed that they were being whirled swiftly away toward their destinations; but the majoritr of the passengers sat around op tha steps and platform amosing.

talking, and patiently waiting. Everybody who could be found around the station was interrogated aa to the cause ot the delay, aad everybody professed profound Ignorance no. there was one exception; the conductor had heard that the train Waa awaiting the perfection ot the Western connection. It was probably this or sometnlng else, but what else could not be learned evea by the most diligent inquiry. It should noticed that the Chicago, Alton and SULoula train leaving the same depot at 9 o'clock p.
