A careful review of yesterday's work between the mob iiid the united forces of the police and mounted cavalry shows the following fol-lowing list ot casualties.

This Hat indicates in-dicates that the police .received more injuries in proportion than the crowd. Such, however, ie not the case. The fact that a man was acting in a reportorial capacity militated against him with the mob, and any inquiry directed to any of the rioters as to the name or circumstances of the killing or wounding was a signal forauspiciou of ihe inquirer, and for an attack upon him, whenever itBeemed safe to make it. Most of the reporters showed personal bravery, and many of them ran great risks of life.

It was the ' mayal belief that could the mob be , jnde to understand thoroughly that io blank' were carried and no quar-er quar-er would he given, their valor would ade away and disappear. It is uu lerslood thai the United States troops, I called into action, have given lair lotice that when they shoot, it will he with the best aim and the direct effect possible. It is also stated that Bbould tho mob gather and meet the police, that the latter aro instructed to aparo nn more lives. Though the thoroughfares of the city havo been divosted ol the tramps, thieves and loafers whe usually infest them, and who now have gone tu join the mob, depredations depreda-tions are not uncommon, and yesterday yester-day there wt-ro several robberies in broad daylight.

White, a re-Bpected re-Bpected member of tbe Chicago board of trade, was patrolling hia boat at Liwudale, be discovered a auspicious character and arrested him.

Citizens with police powers I are in every tection of the city. The railroads aro resuming business, both freights and passenger.

The officials and men are equally reticent on the subject. |
