CiicAGo, May 6.—[Special Telegram.]— There has been a decided improvement in the condition of affairs in Chicago during the y, and people’s apprehension of future troubles is gradually being lessened. The cause of this feeling is due. more than any- thing else, to the determination and activity which has been displayed by the city author- ities sineo Tuesday’s massacre by thean- archists, The prompt action ot the corone v In holding the socialist gang for mur- \ has also had & most salutary effect, and their adherents have been keeping very quiet. Any plotting they may be engaged in, is done in sceret. Inall the freight de- pots lying south of Harrison street, an effort was made to resume operations to- It Was not a very suceessful one, not on account of interference on the part ot strikers, for very few of them were to be found in the vicinity, but because of the inability of te companics to obtain men to take the places of the old hands. The few strikers who were found in the vicinity were very quiet. They seemed dispirited and refused to talk about the situation or their intentions, When the reporter asked them about their meetings to- day and their opinion ot the situation they replied by asking nim if he wished to join their organization, and when informed that he dia not belong to their calling they said that what they did or were going to do or what they thought was of no in- terest to anyoneoutside of their own associa- tion. The whole app that vicinity looked very much as if the b bone of the strike was broken, and as if most of the boys would be glad to return to their places so re ly vacated by them if they could only do so without appearing to do violence to their feelinzs of selt respect and manhood, The saclalists have really helped the capi- talists, and damaged the eause of many work- ingmen who hayve just griey ) thing was extremely quiet o or's ofice, it being in marked contrast with the bustle of the preceeding day. “The mayor was late in arriving. having been xtremely fatigued by the pressure of the excitement under which he has labored since the troubles began. As on theday previous he was constantly visited by prominent eiti- zens, who gave advice, but there was nothing amounting to a demonstration duving the en- tire day. When interviewed by a reporter this after- noon the mayor said he had been talking strike until he was sick of it. He had spent two hours this morning in riding about the lumber districts and other places where there liave been disturbanees, and h roclamati seemed to 'have been obeyed.

NUMBER 277, afraid as the employes, and no attempt will be made to start up until the excitement sub- sides and property and life can be protected Fully three-fourths of the entire force went into the McCormick factory this morning which is a larger number of men than have been at work there since Monday. Serceant Enright and thirty-five police were on guard at the gates. No crowa of rioters were col- lected. Edward Qissow, a Bolemian, was caught throwing stones at the poliee and ar- rested, THE MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION was posted in hand bills throughout the dis trict in English and German. Its warning seemed to have the desired effect, for no erowds were congregating along the black road or anywhere else, excepting that trou- blesome spot at teenth street and Center avenue. The crowd of nihilists there this morning was much smaller and quieter than usual, Armour’s glue faetory at Thirty-fifth street and the river was this morning at a stand still with ten policemen on hand to protect, the property from the rioters, Last night was one of comparative quiet inthe disordedy districts, The soclalistie Poles and Bohemians in the vicinity of sighteenth street and Center avenue con- tinued their riotous conduct until very late, and the police were kept from firing into the crowds by the presence of women and chil- dien, although the latter were as disorderly as the men. Women in a delicate condition were caught hurling stones, ana refused to move on when ordered to do so by the police. “Tlie women also ¢ s spies for the men by paying frequent visits to the police sta- tions at Twel(th street and Hinman street.

THE DEAD AND WOUNDED. The county phy n, Dr. Henotin, in a report made at midnight, said he had ex- amined thirty-nine wounded officers and had been notitied of nine more whomn he was un- able to reach, but would see this morning. Of the wounded examined by him he be eight or ten are liable to die. already dead. Of the anarchists one is dead, six dangerously or fatally hurt, and thirteen more not seriously wounded. PARSONS STILL HIDING Up to 9 o'clock this morning no important airests had been made by the police in con- nection with the dynamite outrage. Par- sons was still at large. His wife was taken into custody last evening but proved of little value as a means of apprehending her hus- band. Mrs. Parsons is imbued with all the mad frenzy of socialism and b d that her zeal would induce her at any time to will- ingly die for the cause. The police turned lier loose after a while, Mcanwhile she will be closely watched and should she undertake to communicute with her anarchistie spouse it will be a signal for his speedy capture, THE SITUATION IMPROVING.

The com- merce bill was therefore laid before the sen- ate, Mr. Butler opposed the bill. Mr. Wilson (Towa) offered an amendment providing that the provision of the bill against receiving more for shorter than for lonizer haul should ot be_construed as au- thorizing any railroad _company to charge as much for shorter us for longer’ hauls. ' He did this, ho said, to prevent the companies from holding that the LIl gave them an_ im- plied authority to charge as much for a haul of 100 iles as for a haul of 1,000 miles, Mr. Ingalls said that the long and short haul ‘clause, as now amended, was like n crowbar thrist into the works' of a watel. Mr. Camden’s amendment, Mr. Ingalls bo- lieved, was in such absolute hostility to the interests of the west that if the bill became Iaw—which he (Ingalls) thought doubtful— there would never be a bushel of grain nor a pound”of beef or pork brought east from owa, Kar or Nebraska, Mr. In- golls’ said - that tho sonator - from West Virginia, Mr. Camden, lived on the line of railroad that was directly inter. ested in the short haul clause, and those yot- ing with him were also interested in direct effect of the Ci would ba to make pro short haul rates on every, i brought to the seaboard.

The genoral provisions of tiic bill, howeyer, met Mr. Allison’s hearty ap- proval, und he expressed the hope thal iho senate would adhere (o tion. Atr.
