To JAMES P. BARR, _Pittsburgh_:
What is the situation of affairs in Pittsburgh to-day? Are the
loyal people in shape to protect life and property? The statements
of my message of last Saturday to you have been terribly realized.
I think there is not and cannot be any safety for life or property
unless the State and United States authorities will adopt the
measures necessary to restore absolute law and order, and make it
permanent. Would be glad to have your views of the situation this
morning.
