The Victory Came.
The battle has been fought and the vic
tory given to the just. The Republicans
went into the fray confident of success and
took their defeat hard. They had made
promises to the laboring men that they
could never fulfill, and never would if they
had it in their power to do so. They
assumed a smile of deception and beck
oned to the honest laborer to pull them out
of the slough of despond. Some of them
were magnanimous enough to attempt it,
but the great majority penetrated the gauzy
cloak of sympathy that they had donned for
the occasion, and did their best to tear it
lrom their shoulders, and they did
it most effectually. They were
defeated, and defeated badly. in
what they considered their strongholds.
George Reis fought on his merits and he
came out victorious, with a splendid major
ity behind him that is a grand testimonial
of his popularity with the people of
whom he is a servant Maj. Newson
was badly drifted under, and can now re
tire to the seclusion of his office and pursue
the even tenor of his way, lavishing his
genius on poetry.
Fat Conley made a magnificent run in
the First ward, and brought Ben Schur
meier through with him for school in
spector. 11l the Second ward "Dick"
O'Connor had no opposition.
There is not much surprise among the
Democrats over Keigher's defeat in the
Third district of the Fourth ward. They
. expected it, but made a good tight against
i it, and it looked when the polls closed as
though he had pulled in ahead, and
he undoubtedly would had Normandin
kept out of the field. His run
ning split the Democratic vote
and weakened Keigher. The German
element were in a body for Weber, and the
contest was virtually one of nationality.
The Kepublieans won in this district, but
it gives them no gain in the city council, as
G. A. Johnson, the retiring alderman from
that district is a staunch Kepublicau, and
has put in his time during the past week
working for Weber. In the First district
"Bob" Smith did not have the trouble com
ing over the home plate that was anticipated
be would have. He kept his forces well in
line and those who were expected to give
biui the cold shoulder came gradually to the
front and gave him their hearty support.
The Omaha shops were counted on as being,
against him, but when tested they were
found to be for Smith to a man. The
majority that he brought through with
him shows his power in his district
Jack W ampler came in in good shape as
school inspector. In the Third ward O. O.
Cullen won by a small majority over W.
F. Bickel, who made a creditable struggle,
but his youth and inexperience was against
him.
ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT.
In the First and Third districts of the Fifth
ward the Republicans expected to come off
j victorious, but the die was
• against them and they suffered
|ft painful scaring. E. C. Starkey loomed
r up like a mountain above Kirk, and Ken
ney came out with a beautiful majority over
Croonquist. In the Sixth the enemy
counted on a capture, and were again
doomed to disappointment. Early in the
day the tide of battle set against them, and
Bryant, the independent candidate, resting
in the hands of his friends, strode
In at the head of his forces over
the dead bodies of his antagonists.
It was a hard triangular fight, however, be
tween two democrats and one republican
and had not the republican nominee's friends
gone back on him, he would have probably
jotue in in good shape.
E. C. LOSG ELECTED.
The fight in the Seventh ward between
Long and Robbins was a hot one, and
the republicans succeeded in getting
their nominee through. It is said
however, that Robbins' election will be con
tested on the grounds that his election was
illeeally won. It is reported that forty
student, who, according to law, as it was
explained last night to the Globe, have no
right to vote, were taken to the polls and
allowed to cast their ballots for Robbius.
}f is also stated that ten men went inside
$ie room with the judges and that their
votes were challenged; that no oath
was administered to them and they
also were allowed to vote for Robbins. An
other report comes from that ward that a
sick mas was driven to the polls after the
hour of closing, and, being unable to alight
from his wagon, one of the judges left his
seat, went to the wagon, took
fie man's vote, and unlocking the
allot box put it in, which was illegal.
■f he judges counted all the votes for the
Miiiueapolis niau, and it was currently re
DAILY ST. PAUL GLOBE.
ported that Mr. Robbins was elected. The '
friends of Mr. Long who were at the polls J
were naturally indignant at such wholesale
bringing in of voters on the part of the
friends of Mr. liobbins. and there
was plain talk of contesting the
election, asking- an investigation into the
conduct of the persons responsible, and a
strong effort will be made to give Mr. Long
his rightful seat in the council."
Frank Ford, who was elected associate
municipal jiutee. ran behind Keis, which is
explained in the fact that Mr. Ford made
but very little effort to win. He was con
fident that his friends would pull him j
through, and they did in handsome style.
MR. KEIS LI.ECTEO
By Almost 2,000 Plurality Over
'':i j. >c«su!i.
The vote for city treasurer was about as
anticipated as a whole, though there were
at some of the voting districts slight sur
prises. About all possible changes in
the way of getting up ballots
were rung, and many of the

dates, in those wards
where there wa*
anything like a con
test tried the effect
of putting the'u
names on tickets
headed by both can
didates, or if tin
candidates did no!
their friends did.
But the work at the
polls was pret*y vis
ilant on the part o1
ticket peddlers, and
it is probable thai
few were beguiled
into voting other-
wise than they intended to. The
predictions of the supporters of George
Reis that lie would be elected by a round
majority were verified, and it was generally
agreed that the labor organizations held to
their principles and the action of a late
meeting in not supporting, as a body, any
candidate. Maj. Ntswson, the Republican
candidate, visited several polling places
during the afternoon, and was quite hope
ful of results. Treasurer Reis was appar
ently little distured over the results. For
associate municipal judge Frank Ford fell
somewhat short of the head of his ticket,
but still was safely landed on the bench by
a good majority. The scattering v*te was
light everywhere, the recognis&a and
avowed candidates taking them all. There
was a general feeling apparent, even before
the polls closed, that Mr. Reis would be
elected, and the bets were decidedly in his
favor, though now and then an individual
was to be found who was sanguine
enough to but on the major.
"Its our off year," said one man who
wanted to bet a hat on Maj.
Xewson. It's the unex
pected that happens, and it
would be perfectly natural
that one of those little polit
ical cyclones should come
and whirl Mr. Reis out of
his office and Maj. Rewson
in." But it wasn't a good
day for cyclones of that sort
and Mr. Reis still holds his office.
There was . considerable interest
manifested as to the result
When the polls had been closed on crowds
larger than had been at the polling places
gathered about the bulletin boards, eager
for the results. Below is given the vote
for the two city offices in each of the thirty
six election districts of the city, Mr. Keis
having a majority of 1,931 for treasurer and
Frank Ford having 1.223 majority for as

Four scattering in the Sixth ward.
First Ward.
In this ward the anticipated sharp fight
didn't materialize. It was a very quiet
election. Pat Conley took the lead at the
PAT /CO7 J
start and held it un
til the finish, although
Eckles' friends did
some hard rustling to
down him. Conley
had the colored vot
ers well in hand and
they fought nobly
against the man who
had cut them so sev
erely when prosper
ity began to smile on
him. Schurmeier,
the nominee for
school inspector on
the Conley ticket, dropped behind a little,
while Hornian, the independent candidate
for school inspector, ran ahead of Eckles.
The successful candidates and their major
ities are shown by the following table:

Second Ward.
In the Second ward there was a light vote
polled. '-Dick" O'Connor ran ahead of his
ticket, having no opposition. The Repub
licans had no candidate in the field for ald
erman and every vote cast for alderman,
except three scattering ones, was for Mr.
O'Connor. There was quite a boom started
for Thomas Jefferson for school inspector
against A. J. Wampler, but it failed to shut
out the regular candidate by a large major
ity. Frank Ford's friends were out in the
First precinct of the Second and lie ran
ahead of his ticket 28 votes. There was
little excitement about the polling places
and there was plenty of time for all who
wished to vote. Below is the vote for ald
erman and school inspector:

and their friends doing effective work. Reis
ran very strong in the first district. Cul

opposition. In this district there was a
great deal of

ing done, and the
result was quite
uncertain during
the early part of
the day. During

Cullen's friends
diil effective

of his election

majority. The
result of the cou

the fact that

who expecved
that Kirk would

The fight here in both aldermanic dis
tricts was lively. R. A. Smith, in the first
First district, was opposed by Henry Har

they calculated on carrying him through,
but his fellow workmen went back on him
at the last moment and voted for Smith,
which gave him a splendid majority, as will

It is charged that Bobbins, the Minneapolis

which ho will make application to the council
for leave of absence from such council
meetings as may be held during sessions of
the board of trade in the twin city.
Gen. C. M. MacCarthy is all right, and any
insinuation that lie ;was not really trying to
work for Maj. Newson is a bass slander. The
story that the Democratic city committee
hired him to write up that Globe R. R. R.
business as a blow at the poet candiite Is
positively denied.
Paul Brady, who keeps a saloon at the cor
ner of Eva street and Chicago avenue, got
into an altercation with W. H. Blair regarding
the merits of some of the men elected yester
day aud when they arrived at the police sta
tion in charge of a policeman they were badly
cut up.
Some people wont say a word about
smus.iing any more rings until it is time for
them to be snowed under again by good, re
liable voters, who have no axes to grind, and are
not trying to put a campaign that comes next
fall into an election that is held this spring.
Was there a deep laid plot on the part of
the Republicans to let the Democrats win and
trade away the small offices now in the hope
of gaining something next fall? If there was
it ought to have been ventilated in the news
papers.
The Mr. A. L. Lewis, with the umbrella, al
leged to have been picturedin the Globe the
morning after the Republican convention,
looks just as natural as he did that morning,
but the umbrella is way out of whack.
It was a pleasant day and the honest voters
came out and cast their ballots. Mr. fteis'
majority was about 2,000. The honest voter
knows good taffy when he sees it and has no
particular use for it.
Said a voter at the City hall yesterday morn

It was said that when the result in the

It really seems that nobody was crying for
Maj. Newson so hard as he thought they were.

August Spies, a. So-Called Editor,
Inciting' People to Riot.
Chicago, May 4.— The Arbeiler Zie
tuug, a German paper, edited by Spies, the
socialist, who was one of the speakers who
incited the riot at McCormick's, announces
this afternoon that a great meeting of "the
people" will be-hsld to-night on Desplaines
street, and "whoever condemns the horri
ble brutality of yesterday must be there."
The paper further says : ;
Working-men, the hated police yesterday
murdered four of your brothers and wounded
perhaps twenty-five more at McCormick's
factory. Had your brothers, who had noth
ing but stones to defend themselves, been
armed with good weapons and a few dynamite
bombs, none of the murderers would have es
caped his well-deserved fate. Only lour of
them (the policemen) were wounded. That
is sad. Yesterday's massacre . occurred that
the 40,000 strikers in this city might be filled
with fear and terror, and that the dissatisfied
and rebellious laborers might be driven back
under the yoke of slavery. Will this end be
accomplished? Has not a miscalculation
been made '.' The next few days will answer
this question. We will not speculate on the
course of events.
The paper then goes on to give a detailed
report of the trouble and puts the responsi
bility entirely on the police. Spies also
says that some Bohemians and Poles in the
background of the crowd he was address
ing raised the cry." "On to McCormick's."
The same paper also says that the police
yesterday used their clubs in dispersing the
procession of striking girls, and adds:
In whose veins docs not the blood course
faster when lie hears of the shameful acts of
these beasts? Whosoever is a " man must
show it the.-c days men to the front.

Special to the Globe.
Port Worth, Tex., May 4. — Verified
reports reached here to-day of an immense
hailstorm in Northwest Texas, at a place
on Rock creek, twelve miles from . here.
The ice is two feet thick. Loads of ice are
being hauled into Whitt. a small town on
Rock creek. Everything in that part of
that country represents winter. The
trees are entirely leafless and
all' vegetation is beaten into
the earth. Such a storm has never been
known in West Texas before. In the
northern part of Palo. Pints county, hail
stones were found larger than a goose egg,
which broke through the" roofs in nearly^
every house where it struck, . even beating
through the roofs of residences and tearing
bain covers all to pieces. . There was no
wind at all with the hail. The season in
West Texas this year is the most backward
ever known here.
Prince Wasn't In It.
The contests between bicycles and horses
at the Minneapolis fair ground yesterday
drew out 600 people. The loose ground
materially interfered with the bicycle work,
and in each race the *< horse won. Prince
essayed to win a ten-mile race against
Crazy, a horse, but after the horse had cov
ered nine and a half miles Prince was hope-,
lessly behind, and abandoned the race. Eck
ran three quarter mile heats against an un
known horse, winning one only.

, . Chicago, May 4. — The agitation which
the socialists have brought about in con
nection with the strikes, culminated to
night in a bloody and disgraceful riot, in
volving the loss of a number of lives. At
a meeting of socialists in Haymarket
square on the West side. August Spies, A.
K. Parsons and other anarchist leaders
addressed the crowd of about 2.000,
advocating the murder of capitalists and
destruction of property. About 10 o'clock
a large squad of police moved up from the
Desplaines street station for the purpose of
arresting the chief socialists. Spies,Schwab,
Parsons and Fielden. There were wild
cries of defiance from the socialists as the
police formed about them, and in the next
moment a dynamite bomb was exploded in
their midst. Then followed a wild scene
of terror and confusion. All in the neigh
borhood were
SUNNING- FOR THEIR LIVES.
while pistol bullets were- flying thick and
fast in every direction.. People fell in their
haste and others fell over them, until they
were four or five deep, and made desperate
struggles to escape from the bullets and
bombs which were ; feared at every point.
There were fierce cries of desperation and
pitiful moans of both police and civilians,
who had been more or less mangled
by the bomb or wounded by bullets.
In less than two minutes the
street was clear with the exception of those
who lay wounded upon the street. The
patrol wagons, which . were immediately
summoned, were busy for a time removing
the wounded policemen to the police station,
and physicians were hurriedly sent for to
dress their wounds. Capt. Ward at once
telephoned to every police station in the
city for reinforcements of all the men, and
ordered the rifles brought up from the cel
lar. There was never a more exciting time
in any police station of the city, as all the
officers who were able were preparing for
whatever
EMERGENCY MIGHT ARISE,
while so many of their brother officers were
lying in blood and agony, some of them
fatally wonnded. After the wounded of
ficers had been taken to the stations, mat
tresses and pillows were hurriedly brought
from the sleeping rooms, and temporary
beds were arranged on the floor of the drill
room. The more desperately injured were
made as comfortable as possible, and run
ners were dispatched for medical assist
ance. Lying on the beds and tables about
the room were the brave fellows who had
been made the victims of socialistic
fury. Pending the arrival of the physi
cians those of the officers who had escaped
the fury of the mob did everything in their
power to alleviate their suffering brothers.
Clothing was cut from about the wounds,
and before the surgeons arrived the scene
was a fac simile of the interior of an army
hospital during an engagement. On every
hand could be seen pools of blood about the
| improvised beds, and strong men were
moaning in agony from the horrible wounds
inflicted by the cowardly assassins.
BOMBS AND REVOLVERS.
The Affray in Detail Between the
Socialists and Police.
Chicago, May 4. — Great were the ex
pectations of the socialist leaders regarding
the meeting they had called for to-night.
As early as 7:30 had been mentioned as the
hour when the speaking and excitement
would begin. The place chosen was the
old hay market on Randolph street,
capable of holding from 15, 000 to 000
men. Touching the square at one corner
is Halstead street, the outlet to the lumber
yards, packing houses and to the factories
such as McCorunick's. In close proximity
to the opposite side of the hay market is
Milwaukee avenue, leading through a
widespreading district densely populated
with Germans and Poles. Surrounding
the sqnare on every hand are 10 cent
I lodging houses, cheap saloons and many of
I the lowest dives in the city. A tour
i around the market about S p. m. showed
that the scattered groups of men
LOITERING IN THE VICINITY
would make a crowd numbering not to ex
ceed 1,500. From their chance remarks
and appearance it was easy to deter
mine that they were anarchists of the
most approved type. Nevertheless a
greater gathering could hardly be imagined.
Passers by who inquired the occasion for
the meeting would wait five or ten minutes
expecting the crowd to increase in numbers.
In this they were disappointed. It was af
ter 9 p. m. before the stolid groups of an
archists were cheered by the presence of
any leaders. August Spies finally arrived,
and climbing a wagon in front of Crane
Bros, factory, began an 'address denounc
ing capital and claiming that he was not
the >?jgH
CAUSE OF YESTERDAY'S RIOT.
There was no enthusiasm created by his
remarks, and when he was succeeded by
A. It. Parsons, the crowd began to dwindle
away. Within half a block of the speakers
could be sefii four patrol- wagons, with
horses ready, harnessed, and a good-sized
detail of police, with clubs and revolvers.
The utterances of the speakers were still of
a most inllaiuniatory character, however,
and the hearers who still remained grew
riotous in their demeanor. The police con
cluded to put an end to the disturbance,
and, advancing, ordered the crowd to dis
perse. At first the Socialists fell back
slowly, one of the speakers still urging
them to stand firm. Suddenly the bombs
were thrown. The police retorted instantly
with a volley from their revolvers.
The rioters answered with theirs,
which the sequel showed they
were well provided with. The mob
appeared crazedwiih a fanatic desire for
blood and holding its ground, poured volley
after volley into the midst of the officers.
The latter fought gallantly, and at last dis
persed the mob and cleared the market place.
They are now guarding every approach to
the place, and no one is allowed to come
near there. Immediately after the first ex
plosion the onicers who were left standing
drew their revolvers and fired.
. BOUND JITTER ROUND
into the mob. Large numbers of these fell,
and as they dropped were immediately car
ried to the rear and into the many dark
alleyways by tbeir friends. No estimate
of casualties can be given, but the police at
the Besplaines street station state that fully
fifty of them were : wounded. Drug stores
in the vicinity are crowded with people
who were hurt, and doctors . have
ho<m taianhfoiad to in • all directions.
Before the firing had ceased the
neighboring police stations were turned into
temporary hospitals. At 11 o'clock twenty
policemen lay on the floor of the Desplaines
street station, all disabled, and probably
half that number seriously so. Others were
reported to be still lying in the open square,
either dead or badly wounded. A telephone
message from one of the hospitals
says that a wounded officer brought
there has since died. Officer Joseph
Degan died on his way to the station.
Later reports at the Desplaines street sta
tion indicate that even more than at first
estimated were wounded among the social
ists. The scenes at the station are heart
rending. In one large room lie some fif
teen officers, and doctors are dressing their
wounds. The wife of one of the men in
jured has just come in, and, upon learning
that her husband was among the wounded,
fell down in a faint and had to be carried
home.
11:30 p. m. — More firing has been heard
near the
SCEXE OP THE FORMEB TBOITBLE
and a large force of police has just left the
station for the place. Some fifteen shots
were heard. It is reported that August
Spies is in a saloon on Lake street, and a
detail of police has been sent to arrest him.
The relations of the officers. Timothy
Flaim, George Miller and Keddin came to
the station a short time ago accompanied
by a priest and administered the last sacra
ments to the three men, who are in a dying
condition. In the basement of the station
there are some ten socialists who are hav
ing thtir wounds attended to.
Inspector Bontield has just been seen at
the DesPlaines street station, and says
after Parsons had concluded his speech,
Sam Fieiding, another notorious Socialist,
mounted the wagon and began to address
the crowd. His address was of
the most inflammatory description. He
called on the men to arm themselves
and to assert their rights. He finally be
came so violent that word was sent to the
station, which was only a block distant, and
Inspector Bonlield at the head of 125 men
marched to the place where the meeting
was in progress. Bonfield called
upon the crowd to disperse, and
Gielding shouted out to them from
the wagon. "To arms." The officer once
more called on them to disperse, when sud
denly from behind the wagon which was
■not fifteen feet from the front rank of the
police,
TWO BOMBS WEKE THROWN,
in between the second and third ranks of
the men, with the effect as already stated.
The second firing which was heard about
an hour ago proved to be nothing of conse
quence. No one was hurt.
On a table in the station house, . where
the wounded policemen are, one poor
fellow lies stretched on a table with ter
rible bullet wounds in his breast. A few
feet distant a man with tattered clothes
and a mortal wound in his side is lying iu
sensible on a cot. Around the room in
chairs, with their legs bandaged up
and resting on supports of different kinds,
are some fifteen or twenty of the officers
who were wounded by the bombs. Not a
groan or complaint is heard from any of
them. Another officer who was fund lying
in a doorway where he had been carried, or
where he had dragged himself, has
just been brought in frightfully wounded.
There are some twenty of the Socialists in
the cells in the. basement. Nearly all of
them are wounded and one of them, a young
fellow of about 20, is dead.
Following is a list of the killed and
wounded among the police:

THE LIST OP CASUALTIES,
so far as can be learned, foots up as fol
lows: One socialist dead; two officers
dead; four other officers who may not sur
vive till morning, and thirty police who
have wounds, many of a most serious char
acter! In addition to this probably fifty
people, nearly all members of the social
ist crowd or citizens of the vic
inity, were shot or ; otherwise
wouaded. The compilation of a detailed
list is made almost impossible, the con
fusion and excitement is so great and
the attention of officers and populace is
so taken up with the care of the
injured. A great number of
these were quickly taken to different hospi
tals and to private houses, so that it may
be days before the full extent of the horrors
can be brought to light.
Mayor Harrison arrived at the station as
soon as possible after the bombs had been
thrown, He walked around among the
wounded officers and spoke encouraging
words to them.
"I was" said he "at the meeting for a while
during the time Parsons was speaking. I
went from there to the Desplaines street sta
tion, and learning that there was no indications
of trouble, I went home to bed." I had hardly
done so when I heard of the bomb throwing
and cams directly to the station."
"What action will be taken to subdue the
Socialists elsewhere?" he asked.
I can't say now. I haven't had time to think
of any olan since this affair. -. You can say,
however, that the entire police force of the
city will be used to maintain order and un
lawful gatherings at which speeches are made
threatening: life and property were not to be
permitted.
Anns Seized.
Chicago, May 4.— Late this afternoon
the police raided the hall in the same build
ing occupied by the lumber exchange and
captured there some 100 muskets, which they
took to the police station. It seems the
hall had been occupied as a drill room by a
I company of zuaves, which was
chietly made up of foreigners. It is stated
that the few Americans in thejorganization
withdrew yesterday on account of the so
cialistic views of the others, and it is sup
posed that the latter contemplated some
movement which came to the knowledge of
the police, and induced them to make the
raid. No information concerning the
, seizure can be obtained at police headquar
ters and nothing is positively known be
yond the fact that the arms were seized.
THE CREAK CITY RIOTERS.
Wisconsin State militia Guarding
. Milwaukee. •
Milwaukee, May 4. — Gathered in the
Polish section of the city early this morn
ing were about 300 Polish laborers, all
armed with sticks, stones and clubs. Many
of the faces were recognizable as having
been in the mob that attempted to storm the
Allis works on Monday, and : others of the
men were among those forced out of the
West Milwaukee shops, It was learned
that their program was to storm { the Allis
works and force the employes to join their
strike, and then move through the Kinnic
kimuic valley upau all establishments not
inferring the , eight-boor system, con
cluding with the Nwth Chicago rolling
Mill company's works in Bay. View, where
ab«ut 1,200 men bare beoa eara&g their
dally bread. They passed the Kofftuan &
Billings', foundry and WhitebUl r Sewing
machine works, which lay idle and deso
lated and the tall : chimey emitting no
smoke. The green bottle works were like

wise found closed. At the Art Glass com
pany's works the pots were in the fur
naces, and a'red glow told that work was
in progress.- ."Eight hours!", yelled the
mob. A rear door was opened, in marched
two dozen or so of the crowd, and, in
less than five minutes, returned with the
twenty employes of the works. The only
man who remained at his post was the
foreman. "On to the mills," shouted a
score of voices and the mob, which was
gradually increasing in "numbers, pro- ■
ceeded to Bay View. In front of tha
North Chicago Rolling Mill company's
office a halt was called and a committee
was sent to
CONFER WITH THE OFFICIALS.
It was explained that the millmen were
mostly paid by piece work, but this in no
way satisfied the mob, who could oaly
argue:
"Ten hours pay for eight hours work."
A number of Socialists were on hand
freely circulating among the rioters ana
urging them on to violence, and a break was
about to be made for the inciosure of thß
mills when three infantry companies ap
peared upon the scene, causing the mob to
take a second thought. The soldiers were
hooted and hissed, but further than this no
molestation was offered until the last com
pany, the Kosciusko guards, were passing
into the mill inciosure, when a shower of
rocks and sticks were hurled by the rioters.
The company wheeled and fired one volley,
naarly every gun being purposely aimed
high, which had the effect of scattering the
crowd. Injury to property has been pre
vented by the militia, six companies being
stationed there to-night. Early this morn
ing appeals to Gov. Rusk, who arrived
last night, were made by Mayor Wallber
and Sheriff Pascheu for military protec
tion. Orders were immediately issued to
the companies of the First regiment and
one company of the Second to report here
at the earliest moment. Several came by
special and others by regular trains, and
to-night over
1,000 ARMED KEEH
of the state militia are on duty hero. Two
companies are stationed at the Milwaukee
& St. Paul's West Milwaukee shops, three
at E. P. Allis & Co.'s works and the re
maindey, aside froni those in Bayview, are *■
held in reserve at the armory. While it
is not expected that it will be necessary to
bring the militia into action, the striking
foreigners had become so emboldened by
their operations of the past few days that
it was readily seen that the only way to
quiet them was to bring them face to face
with loaded muskets, which appears to
be having the desired effect The riotous
Poles have avowed vengeance upon the
Kosciusko guards, which is composed of
men of their own nationality, for firing
upon them, as they believe, at Bay View
to-day. This evening they held a meet
ing, and it was rumored that they had or
ganized to raid the militiamen at the roll
ing mill, but late reports from there refer
to no movement such as that rumored. In
this city quiet is being restored, and should
to-morrow pass without a fresh outbreak it
is believed that all disturbance will have
passed. John Odoi, a ringleader of the
Bayview mob, has been placed under ar
rest. He is a Pole, and one of the most in
cendiary agitators in the city. Early in the
day he mounted a pile of slag just outside
the main entrance of the building, and
called upon the mob to attack and burn th*
buildings. He is a common laborer, not a
Knight of Labor, and does not belong to
any labor organization.

Returning' to Work.
St. Louis, May 5. — General Manage!
Hoxie of the Missouri Pacific railroad to*
day sent instructions to General Superior
tendent Kerrigan to guide him in dealing
with the applications for work by the lat<
strikers. He quotes as part of these in
structions the wording of advertisement;
for help published during the strike, ii
. which the company undertakes not to as!
any questions of applicants as to whethej
or not they are members of any labor oi
other organization.
Mr. Kerrigan ?s instructed that men whf
have been engaged during the strike art
not to be discharged, that men
who have committed acts of violence
against the company, er who have advised
such action are not to be taken back, such
having already been announced as the
company's terms. Mr. Hoxie then adds:
i learn from your reports that about 600 of
the employes who struck on March 6 have r*
sumed their places since the first order to re
sumo work issued by the grand raastet
workman of the Knights of Labor on Marob
28, and that many new men have been em<
ployed under the advertisement for hell
above referred to, so that the present force ii
nearly adequate for the needs of the oom>
pany and entirely sufficient for iti
present requirements in the shops
at Atchlson, Kansas City, Parsons, So
dalia and Palestine. I also wrote your
recommendation that the shops at Do
Soto remain closed for the present.
In compliance with the above instruc
tions you will see that the triplications
for re-employment of those of our former
employes who have families and own homes
upon the lino of the road are first con
sidered."
