Towards noon a crowd of anarchists and friends assembled on the corner of Eigh- teenth and Morgan streets for the purpose of holding a meeting. Liisalso said they in- tended to renew the attack on McCormick’s reaper works. The police who had been notitied of the affair kept a watch upon the proccedings. Hostilities commenced at 2:30, just in what manner caunotbe learned. A number of detectives in citizens clothes mixed with the crowd, numbering at this hour nearly 1,000 persons. Detective Mike Granger, of the Central station, attempted to arrest a disorderly man. The detective was immediately upon by a howling mob. Before he could cape he was struck In the forchead by a brick, knocked senscless and badly injured.

Sullen crowds still ren 1 the neighborhiood, but the police now on the ground are considered suf- ficient to quell any new uprising in that vyi- cinity. close set Another Riot. Cuicaco, May 4.—At the meeting of anarchists on the west side to-night a terri- ble riot occurred, ‘The police were fired upon, and replied with deadly effect, A man who was standing in the crowd re- ceived a pistol ball In the thigh and has been brought to the central police station, He says that during the progress of the speech by one of the socialists a squad of oflicers marched by close to the speakers stand, Some one shouted, 1 it a8 soon as the words had been e bombs were thrown from near the and into the midst of the squad of officers, "Phiey exploded instantly and five policemen fell.” Others were wounded, and several of the socialists did not escape. ~ An ofticer who s st avried from the secine says thero is hardly any doubt that at least five oflicers were killed, Persons living on the west side, many squares from the scene of the disturb® ance, report that the explosion of bombs, which was terrifie, was instantly followed by a fusilude’ “of evoiver shots, More coherent accounts are coming in, and ihey point to a much more disastrous iffiay than at first reported, and about 200 ofiicers had been ll('m'll' | to attend the wmeeting, and liad been in the vicinity since the sociilists had begun to assemble,” At the fime of the thiowing of the hombs the crowd had dywin- dled to ess than 1,000, but the utterances of the speakers were still of a most. inflammato- 1y character, however, and the hearers who still remained grew riotous in their demean- or. The police coneluded to put an end to the disturbance, and advaneing ordered the crowd to disperse. At first the soclalisis fell back slowly, the speakers still urging them to stand firm. ' Suddenly bombs were thrown, and the police retorted instantly with a vol- Joy from their revolvers, ‘The rioters an- swered with their which the sequel shows they were wel provided with, ‘The mob appeared ¢ with a frantic desire for blood, and nolding its ground poured volley after volley into the midst of the ofticers. " The latter fought gal- lantly and at last dispersed the mob and cleaved the et place. They are now guerding every approach to the place and no one is allowed in there. Immediately atter the tirst explosion the officers who were left standing drew their revolvers and fired round after round into the mob. Large numbers of theso fell, and as they dropped w imme diately carried to the réar and into the many dark alley ways by their friends, No estin of the casualties can bo given but the pol Des Plaines street station say that fully fifty of them were wounded. The drug sf«-u-s in that vicimity are crowded with people who were hurt, and doctors have been teléphoned to i all dircetions, Before the firing had coased the neighboring police stations were turned Into temporary hospitals. At 11 o'clock twenty policenen lay on the floor of l)bl‘ Plaines station, all disabled, and prob- bl the — — alf that number serlously injured.

Relatives of Oficers Timothy Flavin, George Miller and Reddin came to the station a short time ago, accom- Janied by a priest, wio administered the st sacraments to the threo men who are dying.

So great is the panic and necessity of caring for wounded that it may be days bofore the full extent of the disaster is made known.

You can say, however, that the entire police foree of the city will be used to maintain or- der, and unfawful gatherings, at which speechies are made threatening life and prop- erty, will not be permitted. Inciting to Bloodshed. Cn10AGO, May 4.—The Arbeiter Zeitung, a German paper edited by Spi the socialist who was one of the speakers who incited yesterday’s riot at McCormick's, announces this afternoon tnat a great meeting of the people will be held to-night on Desplaines street, and whoever condemns the horrible brutality of yesterday must be th The paper further says: “Workingmen, the hated police yesterday murdered four of your brothers and then wounded perhaps twenty- five more at McCormick’s factory, Had your brothers, who had nothing but stones to de- fend themselves, been armed with good weap- ons and a few dynamite bombs, none of the murderers would have escaped. As it was, four 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 dis- satistied and rebellious laborers might be driven under the yoke of slavery, Will this end be accomplished? Has not a misealeula- tion been made? The next few days will an- swer this question, We will not speculate on the course of events.” “The paper goes on to give n detailed nc- count of the trouble, and places the respousi- bility entirely on the police. Spies also say: that'some Bohemians and Poles in the back: ground of the cro as addressing raised the cry, ©On to McCormick’s.” The sime pa- per says that the police yesterday used their clubs in dispersing the procession of striking girls, and add “In whose veins does not the blood course faster when he he of this shameful act of these beasts? Whoever is a man must show it these duys. Men to the front!” The Contagion Spreading.

Affairs in Chicago, Cm1cAao, May 4.—The MeCormick reaper works opened as usual this morning, fully one-half the workimen returning to the fac- tory despite the intimidation and bloodshed of yesterday afternoon. A svecial force of police was on duty to protect the men on their way to work, but their services were not required as the anarchists and followers of the day previous were not to be seen. Several crowds were reported gathering in the lumber district. from whence the mob of yesterday proceeded, but the police have no advice of trouble from any quarter. ‘This morning a strong detail of police was on duty at the Central station the same as yes- terday, and the entire force held in reserve for any sudden eall for their scrvices.

Strikers remained in the vicinity of the yards attempting to in- duce teamsters having londs of merehandise for the freight house to turn back with the loads, using threats at times, A number of teamsters were induced to turn back with their loads. Three hundred men of the First infantry and 800 of the v duty at their respective armories, giments were assembled in accordance with an inti- mation from the city authorities that a large body of st were assembling in the south- western portion of the city.

The Postoffice Appropriation Passes the Senate With the Amendment. TEXT OF THE NEW PROVISION. Weaver of lowa Retains His Seat in Congress by a Strict Party Vote of the House—Other Legislation, The Senate's Procecdings, WAsHINGTON, May 4.—Mr. Hoar, to-day, resented a letter, received from Emmett ‘ompklins, secretary of the Ohio legislature investization comnit tee,regarding (he print- ing of the report that the committee recentl submitted to the United States senate. The letterstates that Tomp kins,on examination of the copy printed by order of the senate, found surreptitious interpolation had been made in the copy furnished the printer, the matter interpolated not being in the original copy sentto the senate. He asks an investigation of the subject by the committee in order that the perpetration of the fraud may be discov. ered. The letter was referred to the commnit- tee on privileges and clections, the matter ordered reprinted in the correet form and the distribation of the incorrect copy ordered stopped. After the passage of a number of private bills the postofiice appropriation bill was sald before the senate. Mr. Call favored the proposal to appropri- ate £300,000 for the carriage of the United tes mail to Central ana South America, pan, China, ete. He did not regard it asa subsidy. 3 Mr. Saulsbury opposed the proposition. Mr. Hale said that according to Mr. Beek's explanation given yester the vostollice department was more cuipable than he at first supposed as 1o the leaving at Pernam- buco of a large body of Rio Janerio mail.

They even go so far as to say that he bas a deep laid plot to fool everyoneabout the date. He seems to be put out by all the jabber from the Folsom family and wounders where the next one of the his bride ele relations will turn up and say it is all ixed. The plan Mr, Cleveland has now in view, is to give out that he is going to New York on Decoration day, that is very near June, and then clude the watchers and flee to his bride, marry her, and - have it all over before anyone knows anything about It Just what Miss Folsom will say when sie of the artangements for a quict wedding is not known.

It was well known here that this would' bethe “termina- tion of the case, and there was but little 1n- terest shown in it, there being but a small at- fendance of members, A iagnificent pres- entation of the case was made by Payne, of New York, member of the committee” o lections, 116 made u lucid and_cof \'mclnF argument in behalf of ] showing conclusively that the seat belongét to him, but it was decreed otherwise. Weaver's clackers drummied up as good an ‘atténdanco of democratic members as possible, even go- ing so far in their tight for Weaver as to se- cure the publication of the following in this yrning's Post, the democratic | orga “I'he contested election case of Campbell inst Weaver of Towa, will be called up in the house to-day. ‘There is a minority report signed by two or three republican members of the connmittee on elections, but that report was the result of second thought, and it was made merely to let Mr. Campbell down easy, ‘The republicans themselves generally admit that the contestant has no case,” Had the above falsehood and its authorship and purposs been known by the _pepublican members, it is_probable thiat a larger voto would have been given in the house on the case. The publication shows the desperate straits into which Weaver and his strivers were driven. All the republicans of the Iowa delegation say to-night that Campbell will defeat Weaverby an unmistakable majority this fall.
