Mayor Hopkfia at i :45 o'cloek. The mayqr, with his advisers and legal stall immediately went into a conference with Gen. Wheeler. The orders are to call out the entire- first brigade consisting of three regiments of infantry ,bne troop of cavalry and battery D, . sa result of the conference, orders were tissued to the First and Second regimenjtg, including Conipany'A'of cavalry, and battery D, to report o Inspector Hunt, of the police department," at Thirty-ninth street and th& Fort Wayne tracks at 4 1 'clock sharp. The troops will be employed to reinforce the police to help clear the tracks south of Fortieth street. An ord4r- was also issued that the Seventh - regiment should remain on waiting orders ati the armory. The Third and Sixth infantry, under the command of Brigv Gen, Weliph and which are now en route1 from Stfeator, Joliet and other points, will report to Inspector Firapatrick for service within the stock yards proper. The outside troops are expected xo arrive here by 6j o'clock.

The! State troops will be assigned to guard dity wherever deemed best, regardless of .the presence or absence of the Government men.

Instead of permitting the men to ride about on trains and 'bluffj' the crowds : with a show of strength, the mayor says he ii tends to cause the . militia tp thoroughly and effectually preserve the peace and end the rioting whether on railroad - or private property or in the Streets.

Miles knew "nothing about the calling out ,of the State militia by the Governor mtil shown this news dis patches from Springfield. ;le said that he did not believe there - wbuld . be any conflict between the Federal and the State troops. The duty of jthe Federal troops were clearly defined lin the Presi dent's message to . Governor Altgeld and that duty is simply to prevtent interfer ence with the mails and inter-State commerce. The duty of thej State troops, on the other hand, is to prevent the de struction of property and) to preserve peaie and xrder. Gen. Miles therefore considers that the Federal and State trobps will work in a co operative way without interference with) each other. He regards it as probable that Gen. Wheeler will call upon him in conference Jsefore issuing any specific orders for the employment of the militia, j . NasAville, Term., July p.

Chicago, July 6.-Six dead and an indefinite-number of injured is the re cord of casualties in. the strike conflicts in Chicago to-day. Yesterday one man was shot in the leg. If bloodletting to morrow shall show a like increase the coroner will have a summer's work' be fore him. The developments of (yester day went far to convince all thinking people that the gravity of the situation pad not been appreciated by the authori ties or the people at large. Persons who jwere here during the xailroad strike of J.8T7 and who saw. the atmosphere clear perceptibly when no more than ; eighty bronzed and husky regulars from the plains marched, down Madison street and Went into camp oh the Lake Front, wagged their heads knowingly when three times that number were ordered from Fort Sheridan, coriprising the three arms of the service, and said they would make short wort; of Mr. Debs' followers. - ! ' i j But after twelve hours of as patient and persistent coolness and bravery and other trying circumstances as was ever seen, these same citizens and the officers in command were forced to admit that things were not as they, were in 1877, and that it was still a long mark to peace and the resumption of unimpeded traffic on any of the railroads running out of Chicago. II . The.developments of the; night and those of to-day have confirmed the Con fictionthat nothing short of an over whelming armed force with j instructions to shoot to kill, can settle the trouble; or, as Col. Crofton put it: "It has ceased to be a mere movement of troops and has become a campaign." !i The local and State authorities have awakened to the-critically grave-nature of the strike malady which is afflicting the nation generally, but Chicago in par ticular; and are taking measures to apply, adequate remedies. The city police has Already been recruited up to over 3,000 men and, by request of Mayor Hopkins, and by order of Governor "Altgeld, two brigades of State militia have been or dered herd to aid in quelling the distur bances. , j . At the nation's capital, also, the fact is Jecognized that the previous prevailing onditions are entirely out of the ordinary and that provision must be made for such a massing of fighting men as has never before been seen together in jthe historjr of the nation in time of peace, if the authority and dignity of jthe.Federal Government and the processes j of its Courts are not to be laughed $o sctjrn for an indefinite time. il I The strike question is so infectious at certain points that the President and his advisers believe it would be unwise to withdraw any more regular troops from the cquntry west of Chicago. j It is, therefore, in contemplation, should the forces,. Federal, State and municipal, Already gathered here be unequal to the task of restoring order, to send here ten companies stationed on the Canadian border with the reserved intention, if circumstances demand it, olSexercising the. right to call for 20,000 men of the crack military regiments of INewj York and Pennsylvania. J I The day in Chicago has been one of constant alarms and calling for police, deputy marshals and soldiers here, there ana every wnere inrougnout a wiae stretch of territory in the southern part and everywhere throughout a ! wide of . the city, mot has Deen running rampant throughout the day; cars have been-overturned, switches . broken and tracksobstructed in numerous ways; the torch was applied in many instances to cars, switch towers and ' the like,! hot to mentipn an attempt to fire a part of the Armour packing plant; in fact at one; time the incendiary blazes followed each other in such quick succession that the fire department was put to straits jto care for all of them. To add to the gravity of the situation, it was found that the strikers were interfering with the police, railroad and fire alarm telegraph system and in one or two instances policemen who were using the police telephone calls were stoned. ' j In general, the orderof thing$', com pared, with that x of yesterday, was re versed. Then the railroads were! trying to break the blockade by sending the trains out. To-day they recognized the futility of that method of procedure and practically gave up any attempt ;at out ward movement. But there were some incoming passenger trains on several of the ro&ds, together with a. few of the regular milk trains. Between these two classes Of traffic the strikers managed to make trouble for nearly every road run ning in a southerly direction''.! The Fort Wayne, Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Illinois Cen tral, ... Alton, : Panhandle. I I Western Indiana, i Rock Island, Monon, all experienced difficulty in greater or less degree at .onetime or all the time during the day. The trick of -N scaring: the crew from a train, cutting the engine loose aud running it up the track, opening the throttle and - letting ib run full tilt back upon the standing tram was a new one and Of a character likely to be- imitated. The stoning of incoming trains was a common pastime with the mobs, and several persons were .more or less in jured hy flying missils. One engineer on a Rock Island train was i so badly injured that it was at first reported that he was dead. . . i , jj. The assaults of the mobs, however, were not 'met with the passive resistance which characterized the course pursued yesterday. On two occasions at least their attacks were met with accurately aimed lead. During a riot in the fore noon over an incoming milk ; train at Kensington, a deputy United States mar shal shot and kilted two strikers, and during the afternoon the deputies guard ing an incoming Baltimore, andj Ohio passenger train replied to the volley of shots and stones which the Btrikers show ered upon them, by turning their j revol vers loose, killing four of their assailants and wounding a number of others. '. Anew and grave1 feature of the situa tion this afternoon when a meeting of representatives of all bodies of organized labor in the city, after a protracted dis cussion in which a general sympathy strike was favored, appointed a commit tee of three with full power to act and at the same time called a ' meeting of all organized labor foi next Sunday to ratify their action. r ' I . ." ( Late this afternoon the Second regi-.. ment of State militia was ordered to the stock yards. ' ; '.. ' j- Qf the situation in general the; strike may be said to have strengthened its grip. Its most significant figure ; is the; carrying the strike east' to Cleveland, tying up all the connections of the Sea board Trunk lines there, with the prom ise that by to-morrow it will reach the trunk lines themselves and so practically reach the Atlantic Seaboard by tying up the railroads at Buffalo. Thus the great strike would be extended from ocean to; ocean. ; ; -:.: : 4- : f -:- I frmr.Acki. Julv 6.

Several bills were passed during the) short time that the straon lifted including the res olution continuing trie employment of mechanics and laborers at jthe several navy yards. :;' The great railroad strike! had three separate and distinct - propositions -directed to it. One was in the shape of a resolution offered by the Populist Sena tor of Nebraska, looking to the acquisi tion and operation by the (government of all the railroad, telepraph and tele phone companies of the United States. The second was a bill introduced by Sanator Davis, of Minnesota, by request, for the settlement of contrqversies be tween railroad companies and their em ployes. And the third was a bill intro duced by Senator George, of jMississippi, defining: the duties of United States courts and ofsrailroad receivers appointed by United Spates courts, in cakes of rail road strikes or lockouts andj providing that obstructions of the United States mails shall be considered such only when the trains do not contain ca rs for the transportation of' passengers or freight. The bills were Tef erred to the Judiciary committee and the resolution went over till Monday, when it will be entitled i to Consideration in the morning hour. j An attack upon the newpiper corre spondents in the Senate gallery in gen eral ana upon one m particular, was made by Senator Call, of Florida, in con nection with a Btqry sent jto Florida newspapers and extensively published in the press reports, representing him as coming to the Senate chamber one morning some weeks ago, deliberately re moving his shoes and placing his feet encased in stockings on a chair.

O, Shelby, United States marshal at Kansas City, sent several deputies7 to ' Slater to release a mail train that was r stained by strikers. Governor Stone resented this as ah interference with State rights, and wrote to Gen. Shelby, asking hjm by what right a United States officer inter fered in trouble of this kind in the State, as he believed the State perfectly capa ble of taking care of its own domestic affairs. Wertf it not able to dp so, and finding it necessary to. call for ;aid from the Federal Government, he would do so in a privileged constitutional form. Gem Shelby repliedtartly, saying that he was . acting under orders from the Attorney General to clear a passage for tbe United States mail, and, in pursu ance of these orders, was to prevent such unlawful interference by arresting on prdper warrants all such offenders and taking them before the proper Fed eral tribunal for examination 1 Meeting Ot Citizens or Cnicaeo Called.

A failure of ( a banking ! firm in London, a break in American Sugar and the i -promising outlook for an early settlement ofiSe great strike at the West, led to ' a weak opening to the stock market . to-day.

IThere was no more pressure to sell either, "except from London, but the foreigners could not have disposed ofrhiuch-stockrfor the reason that the market broke below -the limit set by the sellers. .

In the last hour it was announced that the French liner sailing for Havre to-morrow wilt take out $750,000 gold. This was- a surprise as the Sterling exchange market, does not warrant shipments at this time. The transaction, which is considered a special one, had no in fluence on stocks.

It looked to-day as though any important action in wheat could not be expected until the disturbed condition of the country was remedied. There Was no effort made to conceal the aversion of, the wealthier and more im portant traders to entering the market, either as buyers or sellers. The attention ofthe crowd was taken up with the re ports from the different points. 'where rioting was going on. The moderate operators who had open 'trades in the market were quietly closing them up and the preponderance of interest seemed to be on the long side, for the liquidating sales made oy holders resulted m a con siderable loss to values. The statistical and routine news of the day hastened the decline to some extent. September ned from-58f to 581c, sold at 584c. declinedf 571c to 58c, cldsing at 58 to 58c,- a net loss 1c for the day. Cash wheat was lower, " In corn the opening and early trading was at firm prices. Shorts were still speculating as to the prospective receipts as governed by the railway situation. July deliveries are the ones which I are causing the greatest amount of anxiety, After the demand which this topic in duced was -temporarily satisfied the weak ness of wheat began to make an impres sion and there was less strength shown by corn. September corn opened at 41c and 41 to 41c, advanced to 41 4c, declined to 40e and closed at 41c, a nee loss from yesterday of to c. Cash corn was in active. ' ", - ., .' - : - Very little business, was transacted in the oats market, the tone ruling easy with wheat and prices declining: moder ately. July closed lc lower than yester day, September to ic lower. , Cash oats were in good demand by consumers,' but prices were easy. There was no hog market at the yards and, as a natural result, product was en tirely devoid of action. There were some offerings, without any demand to meet them and prices sagged downward ! in consequence. At the close September pork was 10c lower than yesterday. Sep tember lard was 12e lower and Septem ber ribs 5c lower. There was nothing done in cash provisipns, although some demand existed. 1 The Sun's Cotton Review. C;New York, July 6. The Sun's cotton review says: A disinclination to sell,' in spite of pretty good rains in Arkan some ram lnlexas and a decline ui Liv erpool, was a distinctive feature. The prediction of continued warm weather in Texas, a better spt demand and some covering, led . to-a email net advance. Houston, Texas, reports: "Cotton nas made goodprogresa this month.' Rather iuch moisture exists in many laces. . At present reports are very glowing; manylsay the finest prospects Texas has ever had. The. past week has been hot with dry winds. ! In. our opinion the West and Southwjest are beginning to suffer, and with a week more of such weather serious complaints will be heard. r : f . ' ' t , It is well to remember that damage from drought in the Southwest Sharp, and the danger for the moment is great. The plant revives under the cool nights of the latter part of Augnst and during September and.it has a long season to make in. We are. watching the effect of the hot weather in 'the bottom lands, where the plant ii very luxuriant. An niston, Ala., says: The crop has im proved .very materially since our report of the, 18th ult. Showers bf the 23rd to 25th have caused the plant to grow rapidly. While not as large as at this , time -last year, it is healthy and vigorous and fruiting well Owing to the unequal ' distribution of moisture, it is irregular in size, ranging in neignt irom tnree to iwenry-iour inches. With seasonable weather, the prospects are for a good Crop." Colum bia, S. C, reports: "We have showers everyday.. The earth is now well satu urated, justwhat is needed to push for ward the plant, which is .small for this time of the year-XThe plant is hardened by the dry weather we have had and the July rains we are likely to have will soon brine it ud to normal size and in fine condition.

July: 6. f It is the remark of observant people who have watched the proceedings of the Populists county conventions ! this year that the same: faces seen in.the 'l'892'gatb. erings are again seen in i894. There appears to be no gains, no addition to 'their. ranks. There was an absence nf the "new blood," which some of them claim they have gained, and there was also not nearly so much enthusiasm as in lS9i". - li is alleged by the friends of William Allen, Esq., 6f Goldsbbro,' that he will get, on the first ballot, the. nomination for Judge in this district. Mrs. J. .W.'Fleming, wife of the war den of the penitentiary, has had a stroke of paralysis and her condition is said to be very critical. Mr. Andrew Syme, who was yesterday reported to be dying of lockjaw, died last night.- i He was 53 years old and was born in Petersburg, Va. In 1856 he made his home here. " He was for several years a clerk in the State Department and was also in a bank. He had been for a long time in the insurance business. He was twice married, the first time to Miss Blanche Bragg, daughter of the late Governor Bragg, ..the second time to Miss Annie Bryan, daugh ther of the late Hon, John H. Bryan, of Raleigh, tie leaves' a wife, daughter and three sons. His funeral was held this afternoon from Christ church. The symptoms of lockjaw developed Tues day night. Mr. Syme was kept under the influence of chloral, which happily relieved the jj intense suiTering of the frightful lockjaw. One day last week while experimenting with a bicycle Mr. Syme fell -and broke his arm in two places. ' He suffered greatly until Wed nesday when lockjaw; set in and from that. time on his condition ; continued ex tremely critical. His suffering was ag-; gravated by erysipelas and yesterday all hope of his recovery was abandoned. -, The Seaboard Air Line will have a per sonally conducted tour from this city to Toronto, Canada, July 17th.

The managers desire to arrange a purse for State bicycle races, al new feature,. Mr. Hal W. Ayer will be glad to cor respond with bicyclists or. (to confer with them in regard to this matter. It is said that the Republicans who are office-seekers desire fusion with the Populists, but that . the rank and file of the Republicans do, not desire it. The Populisms, it is . also said, have ascer tained this fact, and this! is the reason why they now talk so earnestly against fusion. ''. A .

Mr. George Vanderbilt, jthe owner of "Biltmore,'' is very proud of this State and notifies Secretary Ayer that he will make a large exhibit at the State fair. Great progress is always being made in the arrangements i for the fair, which will certainly lead anything in that line ever seen in this State. There were three colored delegates to the county Populist convention, but they did hot cut much of a figure, being rather kept in tbe background, - Some of the negroes were in groups, talking after (the convention i adjourned. One said that the Populists might get a good many of the country negroes if there is fusion, but that the town negroes wilt "in such case go with the Democrats. Populist declared that he had talked with dozens of the delegates and had not found one who favored fusion. ANEW DISCOVERY! TVTT nXy-hVk. 'wm & ' ruuu IS DIGESTED ' BEFORE BEI5G, EATEN. ' WHAT A REPORTER SAW. interviews With Many IjeadlnR peo- Pie or New York and the Sur priaine Experiences They - N," :-' Have Bad. V :. N : New York Press - It is not of ten that science makes a dis covery that demands special inveBtieatnn on the part of the newspapers.. Once in a while it does, however, such as occurred in New York recently, j . ;.' It has been stated positively that a pro cess has been found whereby -food, mixed with fruit acids, became digested before it had even entered the mouth. Certainly if this were true it would mark an era in the history of civilizatiori, I and the writer was delegated to thoroughly investigate and re port upon the same. The first call was made at the office of the company which is now-manufacturinc the food in question, and I was permitted to inspect the process of manufacture. I found it exceedingly elaborate and scientific, and after inspecting it thoroughly I was shown the way in which it actually worked. A piece of fresh meat was placed in an open dish and some of the rjre-diVAs food mixed with it. Almost immediately there was a chaniin the color of the meat, next its fibers ! seemed to separate and soon it became a liquid mass, the same as it does in the human stomach after be- mB oawu. .me cued, me cnange, tne en tire process, was most wonderful and speedy. j. "This, as you see, is a demonstration of what can be dohe,",said the manager, "but we prefer that you ascertain just what this food accomplishes with the people who use it. Here is a list of names, and. you are at liberty to see them; and ascertain just what uieir opinions may De. Armed with this list the writer began a with the' following tour of investigation. results: Sergeant : Elias B Dunn, chief of the Weather Bureau, was i found in jhj9 office, loosing exceedingly I well. -."-Iff "response to my inquiry he said: 'IT have used the pre digested food Paskola myself and in my family, and I must say that I have found it just what is claimed f or it.

There, is nothing like Paskola for such apurpose, and I believe it-has won more cases before a jury than you would imagine." . ' . - Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel, the well known lawyers, fully confirmed what I had already heard. Mr. Howe said; "Look at me! : Feel how firm my arm is! You can see I am in perfect health, and yet I was, not long ago, advised by my doctor to go away for my health. : My present con ditton is the result of the use of Paskola. It is a labor ' saving disoorerr saves your stomach the labor of digesting "food.
