General Miles Given Ample Authority to Handle Hi Force ai He Like Chicago Troop to Act With Moler atlon and Forbearance. Washington, July 9. Just before midnight President Cleveland issued the following proclamation : " Whereas, By reason of unlawful ob structions, combinations and assem blages of persons it has become imprac ticable, in the judgement of the Presi dent, to enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings the laws of the Unitod States within the State of Illinois and t.ie city of Chicago within said State; and Whereas, For the purpose of enforcing the faithful execution of the laws of the United States and protecting its prop erty and removing obstructions to the Unites States in the State and city afore' said, the President has employed a part of the military forces of the United States. Now, therefore. I. Grover Cleveland President of the United States, do hereby aumomsii au goou citizens and all pit sons, who may be or mav come within the city and Mate aforesaid, against aid ing, countenancing, encouraging or tak ing any part in such unlawful obstruc tions, combinations and assemblages; nnd I do hereby warn all persons engag ing in or in any way connected with such unlawful obstructions, combinations and assemblages to disperse and retire peace ably to their respective abodes on or be fore 12 o'clock noon, on the 1Kb day of July, instant. Those who disregard this warning and persist in taking purt with a riotous mob in forcibly renin ting and obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States, or with interfering witli the functions of the government, or destroying or attempting to destroy tho property leloiiging to the United States, or under its protection, cannot ho regarded otherwise than as public enemies. Troops employed against such riotous moh will ai t witli all moderation ami forbearance consistent witli the accom plishment of the desired end, but the necessities that confront them will not with certainty permit discrimination lie tween guilty participants and those who are mingled with lliem Irom curiosity and without criminal intent. The only sale course, inerelore, lor lliose not in tually unlawfully participating is to abide at their homes or at leant not to be found in the neighborhood of riotous assemblages. While there will be no hesitation or vacillation in the decisive treatment of the guilty, this warning is especially intended to protect and save the innocent, in testimony wliereol I hereunto set my hand and cause the seal ot the United Mates to Do hereto allixeil Done at the citv of Washington this HI I day of July in the year of our l-onl 1HH4 and of the independence of the United States of America the llHth. The proclamation practically declar ing martial law In tho city of Chicago was decided u M)ii altera lull discussion in the Cabinet meeting. This is the action which General Miles desired from the beginning, as it will give him ample autiiorily in tne city. Tho following sent from tho War le partment to General Miles this evening serves in a ineasuro to interpret me in tention of the President's action: "in view of the provision of the stat ute and for the purpose of giving ample warning to all innocent and well-dis posed persons, the President iias deemed it best to issue the following proclamation to-day. This does not change the scope of vour authority and duties nor rela- Hons to local authority. You will make this known to Mayor Hopkins." ORIGIN OF TIIK ST It IKK. It la a llatlle for Hupreiunejr Among the Labor I'nloii. Piiti.AiiKi.t'iiiA, July t. A prominent otllcial of tho Knights of Labor said to-day : . " The Btriko in not now and from its inception never has been a battle 1m tween organized labor and capital in be half of the Pullman workers. It is the result pure and simple of a light for supremacy among lalior organizations In other words the strike is a trump card played by the lalior leaders in the game which thev are plaving against tl rivals in their own orders. Six months ago the Knights of Labor found positive proof of the fact that the great body ol the order was thoroughly disgusted, ami that the order was on the verge of fall ing to pieces. The decision was soon reached that the only salvation for them lay in a general uprising of lalior. 1 hey were also urged to this determination bv the fact that the reiteration of Ijtlnir was waging war to the death lutuiimt the Knights. There was but one, a vonng and vigorous order built upon the knights of l.alior's Ideas, favorable to striking. That order was the American Railway t'nion. The leaders of the Knights of Labor at once proceeded to fraternize with the Railway I'liiou for the deleat of the Federation. At a eon ference in January it was decided to issue a Mt'ret order to the Master Work men of every local assembly of tl KiiiiihtH. asking him to call upon all nit-inborn to pay in 5 cent weekly to an emergency fund to lie lined m a move' inent of national importance. Mean time the leaders waited for an oppur tnnily for tho proposed uprising. " Plans were laid for the present up- rising, and the Pullman Btriko oll'ered the desired oportunity. All plans were perfected and funds made ready before a move was made. This strike is the most formidable and most deeply planned of any uprising that has ever occurred In a civilized country in half a century. If its outcome will only serve to convince honest laboring men that they are liciug used as loot I ik Us liy a lot of high-salaried oflicials, and If that conviction will eventuate in the construction of organ izations wfth the scheming leaders con spicuous by their absence, the cost will not be so great as may apM-ar."

Governor McConnell Offer a Reward for Kneebonc'a Murderer. Wallace, Tdaho, July 9. The trouble which resulted in the killing of John Kneebone, blacksmith, at the Gem mine on the afternoon of July 3 originated in his giving damaging testimony against the strikers in their great trial here just two years ago. About a month ago he and about thirty others were blacklisted by the miners' unions of Gem and Burke, and their employers were requested to discharge them. The mine owners re fused either to discharge or protect them, allowing them to take their own chances. About half a dozen left at the time, the rest remaining. On the date mentioned about forty masked men, armed with ri fles, walked through the town of Gem and np to the Gem blacksmith shop. They were close upon Kneebone before he saw them. He started to run, but was immediately shot dead. Other men whom they sought in the mine and mill had been warned, and hid themselves. They took Superintendent K. K. McNeill, W illiam Crummer, the mine foreman, and two others, and marched them up Canyon creek, through uurke, until near the Montana line, where they made them take an oath never to return to the Ca-nr d'Alene country and let them go. Their captors returned to Gem and Burke. McNeill and his companions were subsequently found by men who went in search of them, and were taken to Murray. Knowing the difficulty of securing evidence against the assassins, notiiing lias been done toward their ar rest, although the crime was witnessed by at least 160 people. To-day Governor McConnell oilers f l.OUU for their convi. tion. An inquest has not yet been held. Twelve to fifteen of. the blacklisted men have left since Kneebone was killed. livery citizen is taking precautions for his own protection. All mines but two have closed down, and these are likely to close. Troops have been called for. An attempt I.

Mr. Goodell has made in quiries of the Indians to ascertain if they had any tradition of high water equal to that of 1894. lie came to the conclusion that no such Hood was ever known to the present race, from the fact that the Indian burying ground, known to them us telilo lillakum s mem-a- loose ill-a-be, was by the recent Hood totally submerged. As tho water re cedes, it is said the Indians are growing nanny over tho lact that many of the graves of their forefathers are being washed away.

ALASKAN NEWS. ' (real Immigration doing to the Yukon lllver Mining Section. Portland, Or., July 9. The Alaska papers just come to hand report that never in the history of tjie Yukon river mines have so many people started from Juneau for that section in one season Over 400 people in all degrees of experi ence, financially flush, and broke, and of all trades from the clerk, doctor and professional man to the workingman, have made a rush to the gold fields of the Yukon river and its numerous trib utaries. The upshot to many of the in experienced will be bitter in its failure, because they had nothing in common w ith the requirements of the country. They hail neither money, friends nor milling experience to rely upon in their exrrcinity. lint in nianv cases the men had Ih-i-oiiio desperate and were willing iu uikc great cuaiices witn tne rest, since the strikes, financial depression and hard times had cast them loose from all employment, and they had conse quently little to lose in striking out for the greatest gold-bearing placers in North America. That the Yukon coun try oilers great opportunities for the tiiiancial advancement of the skillful placer minor, says the Juneau Citv Herald, is bevond' dispute, as the inanv living examples of successful miners fur nish ample testimony. Many of the Juneau miners have made in one season a handsome stake. Hut they went pre pared and equipped for several seasons' work and wore pioneers in frontier life.

General Miles Issues Instruc tions to His Troops. DEPARTMENT OF MISSOURI. To Aid the I'nited States Marshall to Disperse, Capture or Destroy All Bodies of Men Obstructing the Mail Routea in Hostility to Injunctions. Chicago, July 10. The followingorder was issued this afternoon by General Miles, addressed to all United States troops serving in the Department of the Missouri : The acts of violence committed in the last few days in the stopping of mail trains and postroads; the blocking of interstate commerce; the open defiance and violation of the injunction of the United States Courts; the assaults upon the Federal forces in the lawful dis charge of their duties; the destruction, pillage and looting of the inland com mprre nronertv belonging to citizens of the different States, and other acts of rebellion and lawlessness have been of such a serious nature that the duties of the military authorities are more clearly defined. The proclamation of the President, the Commander-in-Chief of the land and naval forceB. and the State militia, when called on to serve, is understood by tlie military to he in the interest of humanity and to avoid the useless waste of life, if possible. It is an executive order for all law-biding citizens to separ ate themselves from the law-breakers and thoRe in actual hostility to the action of the United States Courts and the laws of the national government. He has defined the attitude of these law-break ers to be enemies of the government. and hence it is the duty of tlie military forces to aid tlie United States Marshals to disperse, capture or destroy all bodies of men obstructing the mail routes, and in actual hostility to the injunction of the United States Courts and the laws of the United States. This does not change the relationship of tlie Federal oflicials with the local authorities, as it is expected the State and municipal governments will main tain peace and good order within the territory of their jurisdiction. Should they fail or be overpowered, the military forces wilt assist them, but not to the extent of leaving unprotected property belonging to or under the protection of the United States. The oflicer in the immediate command of the troops must be the judge as to what use to make ot the forces at his command in executing his order in case serious action be re quired, and when he has the time he will communicate with his next'snpe rior for his instructions. The earnest efforts of the law-abiding citizens have done much to improve the condition of affairs during tlie last few days, and I can earnestly request all the law-abiding citizens to do whatever is possible to assist in maintaining the civil govern ment and the authority of the municipal, State and Federal governments in pre serving peace and good order, DECREASE IX TIIK CATCH. Pack of Itoyal Chinooks Will Fall Far Short of Previous Years. Astoria, Or., July 10. During the past week there was a marked decrease in the quantity of salmon received at the various canneries here. M. J. Kin ney who began operations at the old Devlin cannery thirty-six hours after the fire which destroyed the great build ings of the Astoria Packing Company, put up hut 1,700 cases of Chinook tish during the six davs ending Saturday night, w hich is a shortage of over 4,000 cases as compared with the correspond ing week last year. From almost all of the other packing establishments re ports of large shortages are received. It was the opinion here up to ten days ago mat tne toini pack lor tne season would not be more than 60,000 or 75,000 cases short, but fears are now entertained that the shortage will he much greater. The traps are yielding large quantities oi uiuenacKs, and at the Cascades Mo Gowan Bros, are doing better in pack ing this variety of fish than for some years past, but it is almost a settled fact that the pack of royal Chinook tish will fall far short of that of any previous vear in the hislnrv nf tlm infliio.,. Usually July is the best month of the season, nut it is thought that the gener ally fine weather since April was the means of bringing the fish in earlier than has been the rule formerly. Prep arations are being made at tlie site of tne Astoria racking Company to resume operations there on a small scale Wednes day, in order that, should there be an improvement in the catch, the tish may be handled. So far, however, the plant at the old Devlin cannery, now the prop erty of the Astoria Packing Company, has been much more than adequate to take care of all the salmon that was se cured. Deputy Prosecutiiiff At.tnrnev Purtio has tiled with Fish and Game Protector McGuire his report of arrests during the month of June for violations of the fish and game laws, particularly tishing iu. nullum uiiring me weeKiv close sea son. The report shows that'ten otlend ers in all were arrested, the fine in each case being $50, which, with the sales of web seized by the officers, brought the forfeitures up to $5:!0. Several nets were seized, the owners of w hich were not ar rested, and in these cases civil suits have boon brought by the State to have the nets forfeited and sold to pay costs. THE Slt'KKU STATE.

VEHY LITTLE FKICTION. Naval A pnronrlntlon the Senate. 11111 Passes Washington, July 10. The naval ap propriation bill was passed in the Sen ate to-day with very little friction or delay. There was one amendment of fered that might have kd to considerable debate. It was for the construction of two new steel-armored cruisers at a cost not exceeding $2,750,000 each. Gorman, who was in charge of the bill, requested that the amendment should be with drawn on the grounds that by 1890 the thirteen cruisers now in course of con struction would be completed and would furnish a very respectable navy, and that in the present depressed condition of business and the existing state of the dow n expenses. Daniel, who offered the amendment, recognized the force of tfie suggestions, and in accordance w ith Gor man's request withdrew the amendment. White of California called attention to the action of the committee in striking out the appropriation of $50,000 for a steam tug for the Mare Island navy yard, and hajl read a letter from the Secretary of the Navy indorsing the necessity for tne tug. i ne appropriation was allowed to stand. Allen offered an amendment, which was agreed to, providing that all appointees as naval cadets shall have been actual residents of the district from which appointed for at least two years previous to their appointments. The House bill to amend the law rela tive to mining claims was also passed, It provides for the temporary susnen- sion of the requirement that a certain sum of money shall be expended each year on mining claims until a patent mail nave oeen granted.

OUfLOOK FOR THE FUTURE. Justice Is Aroused, and the Courts Hat llegun to Indict ami Arrest the Of. fenders Normal Conditions Already About llestored. Chicago, July 11. Slowly but stead ily, calmly and certainly, aa befits the supreme power of a great nation through out all the wide stretch of its domain where evil-disposed persons are taking advantage of the exceptional industrial condition to incite violence and blorf shed, the Federal government ia moving to the accomplishment of that for which its powers were delegated to it by the people, the preservation of order and the . . .nr 1 i I f'l.! lalety 01 me u piojjciij. at x-wcugo, in connection with tlie State and munic ipality, it has already brought peace out of the condition of war which prevailed last week. At San Francisco, Sacra mento and various points in Colorado and Washington, where the unruly are creatine havoc, it has let loose the (loirs of war in token of its intention to have peace, even if it haa to fight for it. In tliia city the military arm has accom plished its purpose; the judicial arm has taken up tlie orderly course of its duties, which include tho fixing upon tlie guilty partiea the measure of their crime and the fitting of the punishments thereto. The first step in this procedure waa the assembling ot the Federal grand jury and the delivery of a charge to it by Judge Grosacup. That it is the intention of the national auuioiuiea not to be turned usiue Iroin an exhaustive inquiry into the questions which it has undertaken to pass upon by mere technicalities waa evinced at the outset by the brusqueneas by which it swept aside the plea of privacy and privilege which the Western Union Tele graph Company, with a due regard for tlie privacy of tlie measages of its clients, waa torceuvopunii, wnen me jury caueu for tlie measages from President Deba to the members of his order which had been transmitted over its lines. The court held that public eafetv waa para mount to private rigiit, and ao ordered that the dispatches be produced. That it is the intention of the government not to be too long about the work in hand was shown bv the fact that the footsteps of the telegraph official who brought the dispatches had scarcely ceased to echo along the corridors leading to tne grand jury room when the body filed into court and announced it had found a true bill ef indictment. Pending the arrest of the persona thus put under indict ment, the public was allowed to draw all its conclusions from the premises and such preliminary data as it had at hand. That President Debbs was the man none doubted, and subsequent developments justified the surmise. Touching the outlook for the future outside of Chicago, it may be eaid that to-day'a dispatchea were almost uniform in tenor to the effect that normal condi tions had already been restored, or that they were rapidly approaching that stat ' and there aeems to be no reason at this writing to suppose that the progress to wards a complete reanmption of trade and traffic will meet with any aeriotis check as the coming days shall succeed each other. In other words, it does not aeein possible, with all the forces of law and order, aa now arrayed, with their leader put to his own defense at tlie bar of justice; with their ranka beginning to be depleted by deaertions, and with the strain which they have already endured, that the American Railway Union can rally its forcea for a etruggle which must needa be long and discouraging nt best. Apparently, therefore, their only houe of final triumph lies in aid which they nope to get from union labor outside of their organization. As this is being written, the order for all classea of labor in Chicago to go on Btrike to-morrow morning ia being promulgated, and it is said that that of Grand Master Work man Sovereign of the Kniahts of Labor. calling on all members to strike and all who sympathize with Pullman strikers all over the country to come out with them, is expected to follow quickly. How generally the order will be obeyed is problematical. To a ereat extpnt the effect has alreadv been discounted by the .: r i ' . - i ii.guni.iuii oi Liusiiiesa, aim it is Known that some of the longest heads among the labor leaders believe the action has been postponed too long to be effective. At aunset the nation will nrobablv know whether the situation is one of crisis or collapse. SEVERE LAWS PROPOSED. The ' French Government' Meamirei Agiiiimt Anarchists. Paris, July 9. A special Cabinet coun cil, presided over by Premier Dupuy, was held to-day. There was a complete dis cussion of the anti-anarchist measures decided upon by the council of Ministers the day after Carnot's murder. These measures w ill be introduced in the Cham ber to-morrow, and the eevernment will insist upon their being adopted before the close of the session. They provide for the removal of the correctional tri bunals for trial of offenders who hitherto have been sent to the Assizes for trial before iuries. Amono- t.hn nffinpn cov ered by the Ministers are incitement through the press to outrage or crime. speeches advocating theft, murder, rob bery, incendiarism, crimes against the State and the defense of such crimes. The publication of reports of anarchists' trialB is forbidden under heavy penalties. The reason for dispensing with jury trials in cases of persona rlmrcTPil u-ith the alxve offenses is that the juries have al- iiesnateu to convict, because tne Assizes Judges are empowered to inflict the heaviest sentences. Hopkins Cenmirea Pullman. Chicago, July 11. "It is labor lost; not fifty Mayors would have the sliuhtest effect on the Pullman Company," eaid -Mayor Hopkins when asked if Mavor Pingree of Detroit hid asked him to become one of the fifty Mavors to join in an appeal to George M. 'Pullman to allow the differences between him and his men to be submitted to arbitration. Mayor Pimrree tlimmlit ilium m no need of asking me to join him in such an appeal," eaid the Mavor. " Mv posi tion is pretty well known. But tiftv Mayors will have nn PllWt nn the Pull man Company; no nor 150 nor 600. Kveryoneis ignored bv this company. However, it will take Pullman vears to recover from this trouble. He will find that he is boycotted without unit in acf.on or effect by the American people, lhe business will goto Pullman's com petitors. Then he will realize the mis take of his position to-day."
