After the hall had been cleared of outsiders Secretary Thayer announced that the meeting of street-car men would not begin until 10:30 o'clock. Afterward the men remained la the hall and discussed the probable result of the meeting. The sober fares of the men showed that tney reanzeaa crisis in tneir affairs was at hand. There was no sign of weakness or cowardice, but on the other hand it was evident that the men were determined on the maintenance of their union.

While all were agreed on this, there was a difference of opinion as to tbe advisability of declaring a strike. It was plain that a majority of tbe men preien: were opposed to an Immediate strike.

In anticipation ot tha atreet-car men's mass meeting, to be held In Coffey hail. Although the meeting was not advertised to begin until 10 o'clock, much interest was displayed and everything pointed to an enthusiastic meeting. Of the 1.000 men congregated probably very Tew were street-car men, but curious people aeeking excitement. Newsboys crying "Extra All about the great street-car strike." were doing a thriving business and the noise they made was only exceeded by a Salvation army band, which seemed to be a center of attraction. Everybody was orderly, with only one policeman in sight, who did not seem to know what to do with himself.

Coffey hall contained about Bfty people, who tad planted themselves in seats, preparatory to holding them down until the hour of opening. Although many of them were not directly interested, they expressed themselves in sympathy with the street-car employes, and excited groups cast reflections of no gentle character upon a corporation which presumed to say that its employes bad no right to band themselves together for mutual protection. Popular sentiment was with the men and lo a man it was stated that they would stand by them and assist them financially, if a strike resulted. Nicholas Kllgallon. one of the executive committee of the Amalgamated association, with a number of assistants, was bustly working among tbe crowd, singling out tbe streetcar men and discussing the situation with them.

He said: "We are going to have a rattling good meeting. Every one of tbe boys is alive to the situation and will do his duty. It Is rumored mat tne munr will attempt to pack the meeting, but we are prepared for them. It wHl be left to the boys to say what shall be done. If tbey say strike, strike It will be.

I am In favor of fighting. It is time to stop bowing down to these people." Taiaka the Mayor Erred.

It will certainly develoo tonlcbt what the result will be. Personally I am opposed to a strike, but I will not attempt to stand in the way. "An injunction restraining the company from interfering with the men organizing has been seriously discussed. A number of able lawyers maintain it would hold, and this may offer a loophole to avert an immediate strike. This, however, could not affect tbe men that have already been discharged, which seems to be the bone of contention.

"It is a very serious situation, but the men are In position to make the strike effectual If it seems best. They now. to my knowledge, have 80 per cent of the men enrolled, and most of the balance are sympathizers, so that the organization is quite strong." T. C. McBreen of the executive committee arrived from secret meeting of the committee at 9 o'clock.

Every member of the police department Is by order of Chief of Police Kipley held In reserve for Immediate service In the event of a street-car strike.

The order was issued at noon yesterday, and requires that all officers shsll sleep at the precinct police stations to which they are assigned, so that In half an hour's time a great part of the force can be concentrated to act in case of trouble. Each commanding officer la in hourly communication with headquarters, and will remain so until all danger is passed. In discussing the attitude of the police department in event a strike la ordered. Chief Klpley'tald yesterday morning: "The police department is here to serve one-purpose, the preservation of peace. I want to say that I sincerely hope that no strike will be ordered.

A strike in a city like Chicago is an ugly thing to face. However. If it comes there Is but one thing to do. and that is to see that the right of no one. whether Individual or corporation, are Interfered with, and that riot and disorder are suppressed, and that the peace of the community is maintained.

"Every policeman will be Instructed to observe strict Impartiality, and to uphold the law. It is not the duty of the police department to Inquire into the merits of the dispute. A policeman is not a Judge, but a preserver of the peace, and peace mast and shall be maintained In Chicago during my administration of the police department If it lakes every officer in the city to uphold It."

We made a mistake at first by holding open meetings. We have made much better progress since the secret work was commenced. "It is nonsense to say that the company wants a strike.

In fsct. they are making every effort to prevent it. and have bought up a number of the men to talk against It. These have been distributed around the different barns, and they are talking a good deal. Our sympathisers do not dare to argue against them, but they will come out on the right side when the time conies.

"In my opinion a strike Is Inevitable, al though it will not come for a few days. The meeting tonight will probably result in an ultimatum being given to the company, probably allowing forty-eight hours for the re instatement of the discharged men.

The revolution broke out on Sept. and was participated in by seven departments, Saa Marcos, Quezaltenango, Huehuetango, Taton-Icopan. Mazakenango, Cucble, and Salola. The revolt was cpened with an attack upon the outposts of Quesalteoango and other dis tricts which proved eminently successful. The revolutionists, however, withdrew to gather re-enforcements from the surrounding country, aod three days after the first shot was fired the government sent the following army Into the Held: General Leon, with 1.500 men; General Toledo, with forty-two pieces of artillery and 2.000 men.

One battery promptly deserted to the enemy after leaving the city. On Sept. 9. J. L.

Castillo, aid to Morales, arrived on the scene, with an Immense force of malcontents from neighboring provinces, and after a sharp engagement took the city of Quezaltenango. Meantime, Barrios was carrying matters with a high hand among the rebels witaia the citadel. Needing money, he applied to Don Juan Apricio.a well-known capitalist, through the medium of General Roque Morales, who is noted for bis cruelty. Knowing that the loan would mean his financial ruin, Aprlclo heal tated, and was promptly taken to tbe castle and strung up by the thumbs. Upon refusal to accede to the demands made upon him, Aprlclo was lashed until be fainted from tbe torture, and.

Roque Morales was shot without the courtesy of a trial. Grave accusations of cruelty to women, the wives and daughters of men who had Joined tbe revolutionists, are made against Dictator Barrios.

The San Bias brought a party of fourteen Americans up from the scene of the revolution, all of whom say it will be a long time before peace Is again restored. Four or the party left Quezaltenango through the assistance of Acting Consul Lord, after tha town had been surrounded by the government troops and orders Issued that no one should be allowed to leave.

The records of the Modern Woodmen ot America were landed la Rock Island this evening, thus ending th struggle which has been in progress for five years between that order and the citlxens of Pulton, who desired to keep th bead offices at all baxarda. The day was marked by an outburst of turbulence at Fulton, during which Lieutenant Governor Northcott, head consul of the order, and Adjutant General Reece narrowly escaped with their lives. Judge Gest. sitting at Morrison, this morning dissolved the last of the Injunctions Issued by Master In Chancery McPherran la defiance of the ruling of the state courts, as well as of Judge Showalter of the United States Circuit court. Mr.

Northcott and General Reece thereupon proceeded to Pnlton to move the effects in the office, serving notice on Sheriff Fuller and Mayor Schwab that troops would be sent for if they were not protected. The tugboat Hennepin landed at Fulton. Mr. Northcott then commenced carrying th records to the boat, assisted by five men. They had carried only eighteen books whea the mob assembied and began assailing them.

Mr. Northcott as well as other being hit. He thereupon ordered the beat to pull away from shore to avoid further trouble, aad later, under instructions from him. the boat started for Rock Island, reaching here this evening. This waa In accordance with an agreement with Sheriff Fuller, who pleaded that th boat be aent away, and pledging himself to load the record on a Northwestern train and deliver them la Clinton, Iowa.

He did not wish to have the county and himself disgraced by the sending of troops. Mr. Northcott and General Reece consented. The crowd, during the afternoon, waa tractable, and Sheriff Fuller succeeded la holding It under control while transferring books to aa express car. But when th trala was ready to leave at 7 o'clock tbe crowd, emboldened, by darknes, assaulted Northcott.

Reece, and th employe of th office at th depot. Oeneral Reece, after being knocked down, succeeded in scrambling oa board the train, but Mr. Northcott. with the sheriff, was locked in the depot, surrounded by a bowling mob, who. by that time, were aa eager to kill Puller as Northcott.

At Clinton Reece was apprised of Northcott's danger, and telegrams were sent to Governor Tanner, who ordered six companies of militia to proceed to Fulton. The Dixon company arrived after o'clock, and another company arrived soon thereafter. When the first company arrived the crowd was driven from the depot and the impris oned Lieutenant Governor was released. Late reports indicate that he waa not seriously hurt, and that the danger of further rioting Is past. Tbe express car containing the records was transferred to the Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy road at Clinton, arriving here at 9 o'clock.

Tbe entire population turned out to welcome the officers of the order who were able te get here, and the victory was celebrated by a street parade. Illumination, and speeches. OOVF.HXOR ORDRR1 Ot TROOPS. Keapoada Prea.pt! the Appeals fraa IN.rlkroll aad the her! ST. SPRINGFIELD.
