Thoonly row over Third avenuo oars yos
terday happoned a long WAy off the llhe. Car
No. 8. with a groon driver and balky horses.
Started up town from tho Post Office at 11K
o'clock A. M.. missed tho swltoh In Chatham
tauaro. and cot on tho East Broadway track.
I t got up as far as Oliver streot A Wry Dock
driver hurried his car up behind, apparently
". wlththerurcoaoof getting tho Third avanuo
enrlnatrap. Car No. 3 eould not so back, and
tho balky team refusodtopull It up hill aeroie
the cobbles. There was a blook In tho square,
and a crowd began to gatbor.
The pollco finally lifted the Third avonue car
bodily and placed It on the down track of the
Becond avonue road and told tho driver to
i drive down the Mow Bowery to Peck slip and
I tnrn thero.
The car was now empty, and tho horses pulled
It at a lively rata down the New Dowery crude.
The strange eight of a boyoottod Third nvonuo
'" ear on tho Becond nrenue track created a sen
sation along tho lino, and boys purauod thocar.
Boundtman Michael F, Foody was In charge of
the Oak street police at Chatham square, and
be knew that when the onr reached Peck slip
there mlitht be trouble as It was noon, and the
worklngmen would be on the street. He ran to
the Oak streot station, oalled out the reserve,
i and hastened to the slip. ..... .
They were too late. Tho car had sot thore. and
men who were Idle about the streets had saluted
it with a shnwerof stones, which fell on the
roof and crashed through the i windows). The
i, trlshtonpd conductor took off his badgo and
escaped down a sldo struct Tho driver stood
at his post holding tho plunging horses, lie
sldo him was an old policeman, with a gray
beard. No. 441. Stonos cumo that way until tho
policeman drew his revolver and threatened to
shoot the next man that flung one.
A tremendous crowd had now gathored.
tonos continued to fall, and all of the car win
dows wore smashed. Matters wero beginning
to look sorlous for the driver and tho old polloo
man. whon Foody arrived with tho platoon and
L charged the crowd. Tho police did not strlkn
W for IioaiIs. but thor prodded nnd punched nnd
pushed until they hud cleared tho slip and sur
rounded tho car. . . ..
The driver tried to start tho car. but tho
J Tightened horses refused to pull. Polioeman
lo. 411 went to tho PoslOfflco terminus after
another team, and brought it bnck with an
other driver. By this time tho runaway con
ductor bad come back and the battered car was
started off In good shape and at Chatham
square It went on Its own track. Two police
men escorted tho old driver to tho Post Offlco.
Ofllcer 441 was August Browning of the
1 Prlnco street station, who has boon twenty-
four yours on tho force. The driver was Cbas.

Were run on the Third avenue line, and the
nsual complement on the cable road and 125th
street. The first car on yesterday's schedule
started from the Harlem atablea at 4:30 instead
of 3:58. This is attributed to a misunder
standing. Forty-four of the care ran at night

st them wore put out by the police. Huperln
tondent Robertson said be had learned that
those men had got into the Knights of Labor
6nd wanted their money so thoy could leave,
any of them wero retained, and they maybe

London, May 4. The Son's disclosures of
tho pocullsr methods and teaohlngs ot Herr
Johann Most was cabled hore yesterday. A
Cable News reportor Interviewed the President
of tho London revolutionary Socialists this af
ternoon. Ho said! "The story Is directly
traceable to Justus Sohwnb's quarrel with Herr
Most, and If anybody Is hurt by Its publication
It Is more likely to ho Bohwab than Most. Tbn
latter Is tho stronger of the two In Intellect nnd
Influence, and is abundantly able to hold his
own against an arniyof Hchwalis.
"Ho ferns wo In London nro concerned, wo
cannot be uffectod by anything occurring In
Amorlca or elsewhere. We are more than
holding our own. Tho Freilielt, the publication
of which was stopped alter the floath ot the
Czar Alexander II., Is again In existence. It
Is now sold regularly In the English Bhops, nnd
has a circulation of 4,500 copies In uroat
Britain."
'Does tho Anarchist party advocate flro and
plllngo?"
" You may say that It Is truo beyond question
that the principles nt the party comprlso the
burning and plundering nf the property ot
capitalists. Thnt is a cardinal principle."
"Would you take a house, havo It Insured,
and sot It on flro to obtain tbeamount-ot the
lnurance?"
' Woll houses belong to capitalists, and In
surance companies, being llkawlso oompoBod
of capitalists, burning and plundering are
natural sequences."
Tho reporter, after receiving the assurance
of tho hoai ot tho British Anarchists that Herr
Moat cnttld not be suppressed by his enomles
In New York, then withdrew and went to the
house of Victor Davn, who was Mosl's closest
frlond during the luttnr'a residence here, and
Is a firm bolletor In him now. M. Dave said:
"I don't bl love thestorleH at all. They nro
pure Inventions, and I find no dlflleul'r In
trnclng thorn to Morltr. Bachman of New York.
Tucker of Chicago, and Justus Hchwab, tho
New York publican, Thoso mon wero formerly
connected with the stuff of the D-riheit. and
nro nowengngedln a conspiracy to destroy
Most'a lnfluuncohnd establish themselves ns
leaders. You may flatly deny that the Knhut
brothers wero members ot the International
Anuruhlstlcni party. They belonged to the Bo
hemian Nittlnnn' Colonization Bncletv. which is
qulto another nlTnlr. Johann Mnt was In no
way coneiirned lu the murder of Elsnrt In Vi
enna, and no pnrt of tho money obtained bv
tbo murder was used In aid of tbe cause ot
anarchy."
"Then I am to understand that Mcst nover
countenanced crlmo?"
" Well, he did plan tlio kllllngof Tollee Coun
sellorlltittnnff of Frankfort, nnd It Is nlno truo
thnt hn had much to do with tho nttempt to re

of the unrolling nf the (Itirmanlu monument In
tho Niedonvald, but bo had no band In the kill
ing or Elsart." . , ,
"Does your party consider arson justifi

"Yes: wo believe tho employment of flro
against the bourgeois Is entirely Inudabln, and

IIornei,lsvili.c, May 4. Prnzor French
and his family II vo on the old Mines farm, In
the town of Bradford, this county. In tho
farmyard Is a doop woll. with a low curb, the
water being drawn up by nn old-fashioned
swoop. On Saturday nil tho family wore ab
sent from homo oxcopt Mrs. French and her
two-yoar-old son. Parmer French came homo
at noon. There was no ono In tho house. Ho
wont Into tho kitchen. On tho tnblo was a slato
on which was writton, lu n hasty scrawl:
"Baby and I are in tho woll."
Fronclt rati to tho woll. Looking down ho
saw his wifo in thu water, cllngiug to the wall,
but apparently dead. Alva Morris, a neighbor,
was passing at tho tlmo, and responded to.tbo.
farmer's cries for help". Morris lot himself down
in the noil, and fuxtonod a ropu around Mrs.
French, and she was drawn to tbo top. Hlio
wiiHiilltn, but unconseious. Hbo wns restored
with diniculty. As booh ns sho rovhed she
asked for her child. The body of tho child was
tound at thn bottom of tho woll.
"At 10 o'clock this forenoon," said .Mrs.
French. " I wont to tho woll after a pall of
wulor, taking baby along. I saw that n board
on tho curb was lonso nnd I ran bnck to the
houso togotahammorand nails to fasten tbe
bontd. and thoughtlessly loft tho child by the
woll. Whonlcaiuo back thn baby was gone.
I looked In tho woll and saw him struggling In
the wutor. Thinking that some otio might be
In the homo soon. 1 rushed back nnd wrote on
tho Kioto that wo woio In tho woll. so that we
could havo holp ns soon as possible. I thon
bnrrlod to tbe woll again aud lot myself down
to tho wntor by tho niches in the wall. I suc
ceeded in getting the bnbv out of the water
with one hand whllo I held myself above tho
wutcr with tho other. I thon placed one foot
in a niche on ono side of tho woll and tho otbor
foot on the opnoslto. nnd then braced mysolf so
I oould keep above tbo water, which was above
mv waist.
The bnbv was alive, and. having the use at
botb my hands and nrms, I soon brought htm
to, I cnllod constantly for help ns loudly ns I
oould. Both mysolf and thn child woro terribly
chilled by tho water. I shouted for aid until
myvolcowas entirely gono. nnn then, loellng
that wo must both die from oxhaustlon and
cold unless I could reach the top in some way.
I bogan to work mysolf up. using ono band and

Buffalo, May 4. The Time to-morrow
will print this despatch from Washington:
" The reports of President Cleveland's mar
rlsge havo thus far not been confirmed by
any ono In tho White Houso, but tbe Times' a
correspondent was nble to obtain to-day a
practical admission from thn President thnt
the reports were truo. Mr. Cleveland said:
" I do not concede tho right of newspapers
to Inquire Into my prlvnto affairs. The news
papers, as a rule, have not treated me fairly,
andlballevo that a moro mention of a iloaire
on my part to have nothing said about Miss
Folsom would only Incite tho ruoottors to out
do their previous efforts.'
' 'Then you are going to marry her ?'
t I will not make nny statement about that,
but I think the newspapers are not acting right
about this matter,"
"In the course of further. conversation the
President refused to deny the reports of his
marriago, and practlcnlly admitted that the
reports were true. Ho said In effect that an
arrangement had boon made by which nothing
would bo said about the engagement until a
time which bad been decided upon by tbe per
sons directly Interested, The Impression given
wns tbat the President would like to confirm
tbe report, but thnt through conscientious
motives be did not fool that ho was at liberty
to Inlk about It.
"Buffalo men who are in Washington say
tbat tho wedding will tako place In June, and
most of thorn bellovo that It will occur In
Buffalo. It Is conceded thnt Miss Folsom
wishes to be married in the White House, but
Mr, Cleveland's desires will have to be consult
ed, and ho Is known to be avorso to a display
ot any kind on such an occasion."

Tho mob marched In two bodies, number

It was nbout 0 o'olock when thoy reached tho
rolling mills. Thoy had beon oxneotod, and
the high gates loading to the yards were all

The mob was refinforcod by small squads
which arrived from the olty every fow minutes,
and before noon tho crowd numbered at least
1.500. At last tho commlttoo camo out and the

violence.
Superintendent Parlies nttompted to tell tho
mob that tbo men warn satlsllod and Hid not

Finally. In orderto gain tlmo for the arrival
ot tbo militia, which had been oidorod, n com

go through the works and tnlk with tho men.
Tho militia arrived aliout 11 o'clock, whllo tho

mndo n briof speech to the crowd and thou In
troduced A. It. Parsons, ono ot tho prominent
lenders ot the Socialists of Chlcaeo.
The latlor told his hoarors that Instead ot
cattlnt; ten bonis' pny for elsht hours' work,
stnllEtlcs proved that wnrUIncmen to-day were
only cutting two hours' par (or ten hours'
work, and If thoy workud oleht hours
at tho B.'imo wnecs thoy would only bo uottlne
throe hours' pay tor oleht hours' work. He
warned his nudlonco thnt the tlmo would como
whon tho brutal oppression ot tbe capitalists
would drive every ono Havo thcmsclvos Into tho
ranks. The capitalists would bo responsible
for it, for they kopt up tho porpetual pnnlo In
tho homup of tho poor by their over-lncroaslnc
and grinding exaction.

Thoy had Gatltns suns, tho ammunition (or

Thoy would bo turned upon thom to-morrow
bucnuso whonevcr the laborers make a prayer
or petition to tho capitalist for equity tbe cap
italist appcalod to tho military. Tho people
a!o paid tor tho pollco who shoot them down
at tho order ot the capitalist.
Thero wai a revolution orcanlzod by a pow
erful association of a fow against the many.
Tho Anarchist olosod his romnrks by advlslntf
tbo working people to be prepared for all
emergencies.
Bamuot Fiolden, a grlm-vlsoged Anarchist
wearing a black slouch hat, then leaped upon a
barrel. He said the newspapers of tho city
charged tbo Socialists with cowardice, saying
thoy would sneak awny from real danger.
They were there to-night to ropol tho llo and
provo that they were willing to risk their
llvos In the cause It was a glorious
death to die like a horo ratbor than be starved
to doiith on sixty cents a day. Out of the wealth
produced by labor tho laboror rocoivod flftoon
cents for every dollar ho oarnod, whllo the cap
italists who did nothing, abeorbsd tho remain
ing clglity-flvo coats of profit.
Whllo tho Anarchist was talking a dark oloud
rollod out of tho northorn horizou. It swept to
zenith, nnd had tbo appearnnoo of a tornado.
A fierce, cold blast of wind roarod down tbo
street, signs croaked violently, and bits ot pa
per filled the air. Tho great crowd of Social
ists, fearlnRfthnt a tornado was approaching,
began to seek sboltor. Tbo Anarchist loadors
urged tho mon to adjourn to Solp's Hall, which
Is only about half a block away. Tho ominous
oloud had now passed over the crowd.aud north
of Lako streot tho sturs shone out neatn. Tbo
vast nudlonco was now encotitnged to remain
by Flelden, who said he would detain thom but
n few moments.
" Tho air Is filled with fear," he said with a
shrug of his shoulder and a tremor In bis
voice. "Tho capitalists know it. Martin

Is labor's only hope. That day will surely come.
As tho Anarchist spoko these words the
crowd surged closer to tho row of barrels on
whloh tho spoakors stood. A most singular
feeling appoarud to pervade the vast nudlsnce.
South 'of Randolph and Dosplnlnes stroots
a body of men wore dimly seen approaching
In measurod tread It appeared like a phalanx
of Masons returning from n private assombly
or drill. Tho stillness of tbolr approach was
omnious and appalling. The silent marchers
camo ncaror until the eas lamps on Randolph
street threw tholr flickering light upon them.
Then a hundred stars and a thousand brass
buttons flashed at the street Intersections. The
silent marchers were 400 police ofllcors ar
ranged la platoons and choking tho stroet
from gutter to gutter. As ther crossed
tbe car trackB on Randolph street tho officers
clutohed their clubs with a firmer grasp, and
than hurried forward, thus compelling tbe
2.000 Anarchists still massed In tbe street to
fall baok before tbe measured advance.
Just as tho officers roachod tho barrols upon
which Spiers, Parsons, and Fiolden wero stand
ing a sorpontlne stream of flro burst from u
window on tho roof of Crone Brotbors'
Manfacturlng Company on tho opposite
side ot the street. It burned like a
fuse of a rocket, and hissed ns It sped
through .the air. It sputtered over the heads
ot the Anarohlsts. and fall amid the officers,
Thero wns an explosion tbat rattled tho win
dows In a thousand buildings, a burst of flame
lit up tho street, and then a scone ot frightful
and Indescribable consternation ensued.
It was n bomb hurled by nn Anarchist, The
work It did whon It exploded was mur
dorous. Over a scoro ot ofllcors wero stretch
ed upon tbo ground. Blood gushed from
a hundred wounds, and the air was filled
with tbo agonizing cries ot the dying and In
jured, Those who escapod Injury wavered for
a momont. Then they rushod over tho man
gled bodies of their comrades with drawn re
volvers, tho glittering barrels of whloh wore
beloblog fire.
Every Instant bullots sped Into the howling

a merciless fire from rovolvers and
guns. Policemen and Socialists tell In hand to
hand combat, nnd others were brought to
onrth by the assassins. Bystanders who had
been nttraotod by tho hoIbo fared no bolter.
They wero shot down where thoy stood or
overtaken by tho leadon storm, whllo fleeing.
Tho street wns lltterod with vlotlnis.
Tho shots earns from windows, from dnrk
alters, and from boblnd every concelvablo bar

Into the toeth ot tho hurrlcnno
of bullets and stonos. driving tholr
antagonists toward Lako street Tho latter
flod Into stores nnd othor thoroughfares. Of
seven who rushod Into V. F. Brnmner's cigar

and bleeding profusely.
Otto OrnfT, a salesman for Mnrfleld & Nicker
son of 313 Bouth Water street, was ono of'
, those who staggsred Into tho a tore. lie
was shot near tho anklo, and his
boot was filled with blood. Emll Lotz
was lying In tho samo storo In tho
ante-room, a bultot having plorcod his
shoulder. Although ho did not blood much, ho
appoared to be dylntr. He swooned nway on
the floor. Tho fourth victim was a young man
who was shot In tho calf of tho leg.
While tho battlo was at Its height patrol
wagons filled with ofllcors with drawn ro
volvors rattled down the stroots from all tho
outlying preolnct. They lenped out of the
vehiolos and hurried to the assistance of tholr
comrades, who hnd by this time succeeded in
dispersing tho mob as far as Fulton street
The officers, nearly 1.000 strong, now formed
In six platoons and oloarod all the stroots with
in an area of three blooks. Thon they return
ed to tholr comrados, who woro strown about

Another Aecnnut.
Chioaoo, May 4 Great wero tho expecta
tions of the Socialist leaders regarding the
muotlng horo called for to-night. As early as
7S' had boon mentioned as tbo hour when tho
speaking and excttemont would begin. Tho
place chosen was tho old Hnymarkat on Ran
dolph street capable of holding from 15.000 to
20,000 mon. Touching tho square at ono
cornor Is llalstead street, tho outlot to the lum
ber ynrds, packing houBos, nnd to factories
Buch as McCormlck's. In close proximity to
tho opposite sldo of tbo Haymarket Is Milwau
kee avonue, leading through a wide spreading
distrlot densely populated by Germans nnd
Poles. Surrounding tho square on every hand
are ton-cont lodging housos, saloons, and many
of tbe lowest dives in the city.
It was after 0 P. II. before the stolid group of
anarchists wero choorod by tbo presence of any
londors. August Splos finally arrived, and.
cllmbim: a wngon In front of Crane Brotbors'
factory, bogan an nddross denouncing cnpltnl
nnd assorting that he was not tho causa of es
torclay's riot, but Hint It was a natural rosult ot
class oppression. Tboro wns no enthusiasm
created by bis rntnntks. nnd when he wan suc
cuodoil by it. Parsons tbo crowd began to
gradually dwindle away.
Within halt a block of tho spoakors could bn
soon four tutrol wagons with horses ready and
a trond-slznil detail of pollco with It
Tbe utterances of tbo spoakers woro still of
amobt Inflammatory character, bowover. and
tbo hearers who btlll romalnod grew riotous In
tholr demeanor. Tbo police concluded to put
an end to thu disturbance, nnd advancing, or
dered the crowd to disperse. At first tho So
cialists foil back slowly, ono of tho sneakers
still urging them to stand Urm. Suddenly threo
bombs were thrown. Tbo police rotorted In
stantly with a volloy from tholr revolvers. Tho
rlotors answered with theirs, which the bouuo!
proved they wero well provided with.
The mob appoared crnzod with a frantic de
slro for blood, and, holding its ground, poured
volley alter volloy Into tho midst of the offlcars.
The lattor fought gallantly, and at last dis
persed tho mob nnd cleared tbn markot place.
Thoy aro now gunrdlng every approach to the
place, and no ono Is allowed mere.
Immediately after tho first explosion tho
officers who were left standing drew their re
volvers and fired round after round Into tbe
mob. Large numbers of the mob fell, and as
they dropped woro immediately carrlod to thn
rear and Into tbe many dnrk nlloyways by tholr
frlonds. No ostlmato of tho casualties can be
given, but the police at tbo Desplalnos street
station stnto that fully llfty ot thom were
wounded. , ,...
A man who wns standing In tho crowd re
ceived a pistol ball In his thltch. and has just
been brouent to the Central Pollco rjtntlon. Ho
savsthat during tho progress of a speech by
ono of the Socialists n squad of officers marched
br close to the speakers' stand. Homo ono
shouted. "Kill tbo ." A I most as soon as the
words had beon uttorud. three bombs wore
thrown from near tho stnnd Into the midst of
tho squad nf officers. They oxploded Instantly,
and flvo policemen fell. Others woro wounded,
andsuvoralof tho Socialists did uotoscape. An
officer, who has lust arrived from tho scono.
says there is hardly any doubt that at lonst flvo
pollcemon wero killed.
Persons living on tho west side mnny squares
from tho scene ot the disturbance roport that
theoxploslons of the bombs were terrific, nnd
Instantly followed by a fusillade of revolver
shots.
More cohoront nccounts are coming In. nnd
thoy point to a much moro disastrous affray
than at first reported. About 200 omcors had
been detailed to attend tlm meeting, ami bad

Anarchists and pollco ofllcer a fought In A
rnln storm this afternoon. At 1 o'olook 709
strikers marched upon tho paint works of
Carv. Osilon V Parker, on West Eigh
teenth street When they reached the shops
tboy polted the four speolnl poilcomen on duty
with stones nnd bricks. Thon thoy toll upo
them with clubs. The ofllcors shouted lustily ,
for help, nnd thon tried to oscapo punishment
by running. Ono of thom stumbled and foil.
Fearing that he would bo stoned to dosth br
tho yelling mob. ho drew n rovolvor from his
brenst oockot and llred flvo shots as ho was
lying on the ground into tho rapidly approach
ing rubble The Ringing of tho bullets as tbay
whizzed over tbolr heads cheeked therlotertL '
Thon n mnn with a red feather sticking out ot
tbo crown of n black toll bat waved a rusty
sabro over his head, and urged his companion ,
to kill the nrostrato ofllcer. ,'
Just ns thn mob was about to dash forward :
Again the Hlnmnn street nnd Twelfth street 1
patrol wagons, filled with ofllcors, rattled dowa
thertroet The drlyor of each wagon atooel
upon his foot nnd lashed tbo horsos. whlofc
were flecked with foam. When the bluo vehi
cles nenred tbo rioters the oflflcers massed
themsolves against tho drivers' seats and, tak
ing aim over ouch others' shoulders, fired vol- i
ley aftor volloy over the beads of the crowd.
The effect was amusing. Mnn with their pock,
ou filled with stones huddled boblnd barricade
no moro substantial than a picket fenoe. They i
started down Eighteenth stroet to Centre Ave- '
nue, a sort of rendezvous for tbe thousands of
foreign strikers In tbo neighborhood. Here the)
mnbtnadoa stnnd,
Polloemnn Small of the Hlnmnn Streot statloA
leaped out of bis wngon nnd startod alter one
of tbo leaders of the riot, who was yelling to
his comrades to blow up tbo pollco with dyna- '
mlto. Ho ran Into tho crowd nnd grabbed lbs
Anarchist liy tbo nook. Tho latter screamed
for holp. The rlotors surgsd nbout thn officer
and his struggling prisoner, nnd then fell upoa
tho former with stonos nnd clubs. Small to
defend blmsolf fired Bovernl shots Into the
orowd. but without effect The shooting the a
becatuo hot nnd indiscriminate. Small's com
rnden ran to his assistance, but before he was
rescued from his perilous position ho wna shot
through the bund. Tho prisoner escaped. Re
ports ot axplodlng cartridges camo from every
quartor. and tho air was filled with smoke.
Kill tho hlrolings," bawled a man with
red whiskers as he polntod nn nnclent
revolver nt Ofllcer Small. Before hs
could null tho trigger Detectlvo Michael
Granger struck his hand, and tho weapon fell
to the ground, Tho mob then pounced upon
GrnrrRor nnd drncgod him into the muddy
stroet. A rock as largo ob a coooanut whizzed
past his loft cheek, and n brick hit him In the
forehead. Thn dotecttvo fell to the ground,
with a stream of blood pouring from tho wound.
Tho remainder of tho officers fired a seore of
shots Into tbo surging, howling mob. One man ;
wns seen to drop, but his comrades picked hint
up and hurried through a neighboring alley.
Tho sight of Anarchist blood scorned to fill the
rioters with fear, for as soon ns they learned
that ono of their number hnd been shot they
fled proclpltctely. Tho ofllcors then charged
upon thom nnd capturod seven of tho lenders.
Thor wore taken to tho Twelfth street and Uln
msn struct statlous.
The non-union mon nt work In tho MeCor
mlck factory tollod until 3M o'clock In tba
nfternoon. Whon thoy camu out at that hour
the pollco beenmo more active and dispersed
tho thousands of strikers who worn nssembllojc
on tho sldo stroots. Several lights occurred,
but no blood wns shod. Many of the scabs wera
escorted to their homes by tho ofllcors, Th
strikers nro boasting that thoy will yet drive
tho scabs from tho neighborhood nnd apply tha -torch
to the factory. They are also threaten
ing to blow un the Hlnmnn streot station witk
dynamite. It Is feared that thero will be seri
ous troublo In this district within the next
forty-eight hoars.
Late this nfternoon tbe police raided a hall
In the snmo building oceupied by tbe Lumber
Exchange, and captured thero some hundred
muskets, which thor took to tbo pollco station. '
It Booms tho hnll hnd bean occupied as a drill
room by a company ot zouaves, which was chief
ly made up ot foreigners. It Is statod that tbe
fow Americans In tbo organization withdrew
yesterday on account ot the socialistic vlows of
tbo others, and It is supposed tbat tbe latter i
contemplated some movement which oamo to
tho knowledge of tbe pollco nnd Induced them
to make the raid. No Information concerning
tbo selzuro can boobtilned at Police Hoad
quarters. and nothing Is positively known be
yond tho fact that tho nrms were scizod,
TUE MAK WHO INCITED ULOODHIIED.
The ArbeUer Zeituna, a German paper edited "
by Spies, the Socialist who was one ot tha
spcakors who incited yesterday's riot at Mo-
Cormlck's, announces this afternoon that A
great mooting of "the people" will bo held to- i
night on Dosplninosstrnet, and "whoever con
demns the horrible brutality of yesterday must
be there." Tbe paper further says:
WorMneinen. tile tinted poliro jesterday tmirderet
four or your tirottiera and wounded iierhop twenty more
at Mccormick's factory. Had your brothers, who hast
nothing but tone to defend tneuuelte. been armed
with good weapon and a few dynamite bombs, uone of
the murderers would have ercsped ills well dsservet
fate. ,
Ae it was onlr four of them (the policemen) wera .
wounded. That is sad. Yesterdays messacre occurred
that the 40.000 strikers In this olty might be Ailed with
fear end terror, and that tbe dlMsntlsrled and rebellion
laborer milit be driven bark tinder tbe yoke of slavery.
Will tills end bo accomplished? line not amiscatcula
tion been insdo Tlie next fuw days wilt answer thfcB
question. We v 111 not speculate on tbe course of event.
The paper then goos on to glvo a detailed re
port of tbo troublo, and puts the responsibility
entirely on tbe police. Spies also .ays that soma
Bohomlans and Poles In tb Vmckground ot th
crowd ho wns nddrossl raisod tho cry, " Oa

Tbo paper 'lg0 gnys tnat ie pollco yesterday

Chioaoo, May 4. Shortly nftor 3 o'clook
this afternoon a committeo from the strlklnc
lumbermen watted on the special committee of
!.!rs appii.nted br the lumber unler of th,
city to recolve tbat body's reply to the striker.'
domand for olght hours' work and ten hour'
nay, Tbe reply Is substantially as follows:
r (tie Committee e the I.umtermrn'1 Union,
aKiunucc The demand made in your printed com
niunlcstlon, as committee for Lumbermen's Union Mo. t.
It is beuii carefully considered by tho committee chosea
by tlio lumber dealers and planing mill companies ef
Cliicairo, and, by a unanimous utc, jour communlea
tl'in Is respectfully rsluriivd for amendment, whloh
time and abutter know ledge ot the exMlnff condition
of the lumber trade of Chicago w ill coin luce ) uu Is elsar
ly for the Interest of tho men ynu represent. You de
mand en increase nf 23 per cent. In wsir-s coniparrrl te
last year. Nn rosson lias been assigned for the inoresae,
but in aiuwer to the request we btreby respectfully
stats why tbe lumber trade of Chicago cannot meet
your wishes as expressed lu yeur communication under
exlillng business conJillcits.
The reply then shows that tho volume, of
lumbar business lu Chicago has steadily de
cllnod since 1HS1. and thnt during this poriod
the annual production of lumber nt porta that
supply the market has In the sggregnto stead
ily Increased, nnd yards aro nporatod at pro.
riuclng polnlBHtalnrge reduction In oxpensa ,
compared to Chicago, and the result has be
largo shipments to consumers direct from saw
mills by railway. Th wages paid by Chicago
lumbor dealers and pinning mill owners are
larger for tho ssmngradoot mon than are paid
by any other Chicago Industry. Tbe majority
ot thn men are wholly unskilled, aud not even
any knowlodgoof the hngllth language Is re
quired: but II par day bus beau paid men
newly arrived, with a chance of early promo
tion and blcher wages. Tho roport coutlnues:
In tbe face nf all these reasons s demsnd Is now mad
by HieclsMof men hn are as inllmaiely ceunei'le
with tlili bianch nf commerce as the lumber merchants
tbemteltes for an Increase of naves Hint competing an
rival in irkeitdniiol pay. The lumber latorcrsut Obi.
cage cannot afford to nllow experiments and iherhanre
propi.sel in yuur demand endauvers thu future of Hie
larutier dullness ofjihls port, which gins illreci employ,
ment to more than lO.KM men. beside hellrritly tela- e
os) more, and ti the chief support of more than 8,nu
families, andi,uio.ox are annually disbursed by Ihe
lumber dealers ot t.'blra.'ii. He vast a builnrM, nhlch '
Involve! tlio support of so many kindred Industries, can
not Ions he sonducted coutrary to busluei nettiods.
The strikers listened, to tho reading of th
document, and In rsply, reiterated their de
mands. Thn lumbor dealers a Id thny would
f live t lie m ample time for consideration, and
lopodthoy wjtild rotiirnto work on the old
basis, but if thoy did not tholr places would b
lllled, '
The strlkors rotlrpd not, very welt plonaad
with the remit of tholr mission. On leaving
the building of tbo lumbor exohange ouo ol
thom, John fidiuildt, became vory much ex- '
cited, and declared tbat they would go to work
on their own terms or burn tho ynrds. A po
llccinnu wns promptly called, and Schmidt U '.
undor arrest on a ohnrga of nlsordorlr conduct. I
The Beoretary of tho ExchiiDgo will appear ,
