Edgefield Advertiser HOS. J. WEDNESDAY, JULY ll, 1894. THE STRIKE ABOUT OVER. The strike ie about over.

We clip the following from the daily papers of Tuesday CHICAGO, July war cloud which has hung over this city and this land for the past ten days shows distinct signs of lifting. Instead of additional railroads being tied up at various points throughout the country, to-day's dispatches, almost without exception, bring advices of strikers returning to work, and an increasing resumption of traffic, amounting in some places to normal conditions. The day in Chicago has passed without a serious conflict between the rioters and the armed forces now on duty here. The poorest girls in the world are those who have never been taught to work. President Cleveland never leaves the White House now unless he is accompanied by an armed body guard.

He has evidently heard that Gov. Tillman called him a "bag of beef." -We have been authoritatively informed that the Hon. J. C. Childs, pf Columbia, will make the race as the prohibition candidate for Governor.

This will complicate matters still more. The shortest pastorate on record occurred recently in a church in I Central New York. The minister was called, went to begin his work, and not finding things as had been represented, preached his opening sermon in the morning and his farewell one in the evening, and left on the night train for home, Senator Butler has requested of the executive committee of each county that a separate box shall be provided in which the people can express their choice for United States Senator. This is a very reasonable request and we have no doubt that County Chairman Timmerman will accede to it, if possible. The campaign meetings still drag their slow lengths along.

The majority of the crowds are, as two years ago, for Tillman. But the interest of the people in such decidedly off. Something' must be done to stimulate enthusiasm or at the wind-up they will have petered out to a very small point. The Louisville Times says: If it took the Senate from Ground Hog Day to the Fourth of July to formulate its bow-logged, humpbacked, and warp-eyed conception of a Reformed Tariff, how long will it take the Conference Committee to lick and kick the distorted thing into such shape that both the House and Senate will accept it? Quien sabe? The support of Alliancemen should not be given to a man simply became he is a member of the Order, but when all things are equal-competency, character, and qualifications-an Allianceman should always support the member as against the man who is not a Plant. The trouble about this is that nobody has ever seen any two men who are actually equal in theBe respects.

A big Btrike is in progress in the North and West. The railroads in those sections are ali locked up as the strikers allow no trains to leave the yards. The government has ordered out troops to scatter the rioters and it is hoped that further trouble will be averted by prompt action. Millions of dollars have already been lost by the stoppage of fruit and freight trains. Meat and other groceries that we get from the West have in consequence risen in price.

Candidates for Governor. Charleston Son. One-third of the counties of the State have been canvassed by the candidates, and it is becoming more difficult to say who now has the lead for Governor. It is true, for the last week, the campaign has moved through the Peedee section, and that may explain Ellerbe's gain; but, that he has taken and maintained an aggressive attitude and thereby pushed to the front, cannot be denied. Possibly as the campaign moves up the counties, which border on the Savannah river, Evans may again recover the lead he had at the opening in York and Chester, but, while the contest between and himself is good-natured, he has appeared of late upon 4he defensive.

BLOOD IS SHED AGAIN. Seven Men Fall at a Single Volley. $1,000,00801 CARS BURNED. AtLeast Four of Them Will Certainly Die. I The Soldiers Have at Last Been Given Orders to Shoot-The City Wild With Continued Alarms of Fire Last Night-The Strike Grows Weaker.

CHICAGO, July it is further ordered that if any act of hostility be committed, such aB firing upon railroad trains or 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 arms." So wrote Gen. Nelson A. Miles in his order issued this afternoon detailing Federal 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 temporizing with them had ceased, and that hereafter the government would put an end to their rioting, 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 National troops to be the first to carry out this order.

Company Second Regiment, I. N. had that distinction. The stoiy of the encounter between the thirty-seven young militiamen of this city and a vicious mob at 47th and Loomis street, is told elsewhere in these dispatches. Up to 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day had been a com paratively quiet one.

To be sure, some mobs had been going about all through the district west, of State street and south of 39th, 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, blocking all movement by sheer force of numbers. This state of affairs wus doubtless the outgrowth of various conditions, such as the presence of a vastly increased force of soldiers, and the fact that firing cara had left the Lake vracks to the south impassable so that all the discernable movement was in the shape of wrecking and endeavoring to bring order out of chaos, which existed all through that region. The disturbed section to-aay embraced a space of about twenty-five square miles, not to mention the bit of incendiarism in the Burling ton Road at Crawford and Western Avenues, the latter being the work of women and children. It is es timated that in the district not less than 50,000 rioters were out at one time and another during the day, but the ground was so thor oughly patrolled by the police, the marshals and the military that they found little opportunity for massing 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, and erecting headstones with the graves therein bearing the names of their pet aversions including that of the I President of the United States.

One feature of the day was the showing of its teeth by the build ing trades in calling out the sta tionary engineers in packing houses at the stock yards, with the threat that it was merely a preliminary to calling out its 25,000 niembera, and the tying up of all buildings in the city. Another feature of the day was tho patrolling of sentries before the Federal sub-treasury, in whose vaults lie some fifteen million dollars of Uncle Sam's money, which Gen. Miles thought might prove a temptation to some of Debs's followers, not to be resisted, in view of the fact that they are not very flush just now. THE STRIKE FAILING. For the first time since the strike opened there were several distinct notes of improvement in the situation, and these were not confined to Chicago.

Here the postal authorities reported an improvement in the movement of mails. Outside of Chicago it was to be noted the strike, while it made no progress worthy of mention at any point, gave many evidences of having reached its culmination and of failure. To begin with, the promise that seaboard trunk lines would be tied up at Buffalo was not fulfilled the strike was not extended to Pittsburg, as predicted, at a number of points in the tie-up teriitory the strain was lightened; at one or two points the men who had agn ed to go out failed to do so but most significant of all, perhaps, was the refusal of the American Railway Union men at Louisville, Colorado Springs, and Denver to obey Debs's order to strike. Joliet also reported a defection from the ranks there, employes of the Joliet, Elgin and Eastern returning to work. The friends of law and order had occasion to be pleased on account of the massing of troops here, and at the ordering of a decided movement of troops by the President, with a view of lifting tho embargo on Pacific coast businesss both by the Northern and Central roads.

To this end he has ordered Gen. Merrit, at St. Paul, and Gen. Otis, at Vancouver barracks, to see to the opening of the Northern Pacific line, while Gen. Ruger, at San Francisco, and Gen.

Brooke, at Omaha, were similarly instructed to set things moving on the Central and Northern Pacific systems. To all this the only foil which thc managers of the strike were able to show was an arrangement between President Debs and Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, to call out the members of their organizations, some 150,000 in numbsr, provided the other five members of the executive committee will agree to call them out. It is estimated ihat Debs has about 74,000 men so that if the agreement goes, it will be no small addition to the forces of idleness. There baB been a rift in the cloud, but the cloud is still there. The Daily News issued at 7 o'clock an extra containing the following important information, and they vouch for its correctness in every particular "Late this afternoon President Debs, of the American Railway Union, informed a Daily News reporter that he had received a message from E.

F. Lawrence, vice-president of the First National Bank, saying that vice-President WTicks, of the Pullman Company, waB willing to see him (Debs.) He thereupon told Mr. Lawrence that he was willing to meet Mr. Wicks. President Wicks, when seen later on at his office, said "This morning Mr.

Lawrence called on me and asked me if I would be willing to meet a committee of our ex-employes. I told him that I would gladly meet such a committee, and have always been ready to meet such a delegation at any time. The position of the Pullman Company, however, is unchanged. I do not expect the committee will come to see me desiring to discuss arbitration. If they desire to discuss the situation I am ready and willing to see them.

The conference will be to-morrow, at my office, at what hour I am unable to state." SEVEN EIOTEES FELL. State Troops Prove What They Are Called Out For. CHICAGO, July mob gathered at 49th and LoomiBl stieets about 4 o'clock and began setting fire to cars and other railroad property. The police, under Inspector Hunt, charged, but the mob would not desist. Then the militia open fire and shot down a large number, killing several and wounding many more.

The dead and wounded were left lying on the streets for the mob to take care of. CHICAGO, July cause of the fight at 49th and Loomis street was an attack on a wrecking train made by the mob. The Western Indiana workman had partailly succeeded in clearing away au obstruction when the mob drove them away. The firng on the mob was done by company of the Second Infantry State troops, 38 men strong, commauded by Capt. Maher and not by Federal troops.

The moo had been growing ugly for some time and Capt. Maher concluded it was about time to beata retreat. His company occorapanied by six policemen and twenty deputy sheriffs, began to move slowly off on the irain. Lieutenant Reed was struck down and suddenly Yardmaster McKee, of tho Grand" Trunk, ivas compelled to fire at several men who made a rush for him. This opened hostilities and the militia, deputies and police poured lead into the mob as fast as could pull their triggers.

The solders fired two to six rounds apiece and the others emptied their revolvers. No firing was done until McKee Reed had been struck twice. The latter is believed to be dangerously wounded. The troops after the flight were unable to cope with tho mob and took a traiu back to the city. They have arrived in a badly demoralized condition, many of the men being badly battered and bruised.
