ANOTIER ANARCHIST ARI James Dejnek, a Bohemian anarchist, and carrier for the Arbeiter Zeitung, was arrested at his home on Center avenue this morning. ‘I'wo dangerous looking pistols were found on him, and his house was supplied with anarchist literature, The police say they have evidence to convict him of shooting into the patrol wagon filled with polic ing the riots.

IHis shattered leg was amputated yesterday., Since then his chances of recov- ery have increased. The bullet wound in his back makes his condition more erit- feal. Charles Schumacker, the young socialist, cannot possibly recover. His agonies are so terrible that he is kept constantly under the influence of opi- ates, and his cot is surrounded by a sercen to hide his sufferings from other patients. Ru- dolph Krueger, the socialist, first known as Labbelhardt, who pul bullet into Officer Madden and got two in exchange, remainsin a comatose condition, and is expected hourly to die. Oficers Mike Madden and Lawrenc Murphy, it is thought, will pull through ail right. Murphy was only married a few days before the riot, and his young wite is spend- ing her h oneymoon beside his cot.

Political Bitterness and Race Hatred Aroused by the Home Rule Moas- ure—The Greek Question May Create ;Serious Complications. Standing Up for Home Rule. LONDON, Aay 0 ial Cablegram. | Tt may be stated on v good authority that the eabinet council recently held resulted in a decision on the part of the government not to meke any official conciliatory overtures rtof the malcontent liberals and radie: The government will, therefore, begin the parlinmentary struggle over the home rule bill to-morrow with hands en- tirely free. Of comse, whatever concessions Mr. Gladstone may have made thus far in the way of modifying the clauses of the bill ac- cording to the advice of those whose eriti- cisms were in the spirit of friendliness to the main object to the measure, will hold good, butany attack upon the bill which is made in a wholly antagonistic spirit will be boldly met and opposed. Lt is not unlikely that some further modifications of the origi- nal draftof the bill will be consented to in course of debate in order to meet the wishes of such of the supporters of the government as have not yet had opportunity to consult Mr, Gladstone and who will therefore express their views in parliament. MEETING A DIFFICULTY. One of the propositions which Mr, Glad- stone has been asked by the adherents of the governiment to consider is intended to solve the diflicuity which has existed in respect to Irish representation in the imperial parlia- ment. The plan is for the lrish par- llament to appoint a delegation of its members to meet a similar delegation from the imperial parliament, or, if preferred, for ve power (o send vin the imperial istone has, up to this tim, declined to favor eitherof these plans on account of his belief that, when the parlinments were thus united by delegation, consideration of imperial affairs woull be NeCess: whereas facilities for such dis- cussion uld be erude, and no logical vot- ing arrangement could be devised. It is Lowever, some proposition of this ill ultimately be agreed to by the premicr, and that 1t will the approval of the majority of the p: Hartngion nd Ch the most yninent seceders among_ Mr. Gladstone’s supporters, heid a protracted con- sultation last night presumably for the pur- pose of agreeing upon a course of concerted action against the home rule bill in the com- ing debate.

It was not until eight entire squares, comprising sixty acres of the most thickly lu?mluml Chifiese quarters, were destroyed that the fire's adyance was stayed.

Des Morx Tows, May 0.—[Special.]— The promptness with whieh the eivil anthori- ties checked the recent attempt at rioting in this city is the theme of very general com- mendation, The mayor, police force and county ofticers worked in harmoy, and were prepared to do deadly exceution if a riot was begun, When the excitement was run- ning high, there was some talk of calling on the governor for the militla, but he very wisely discouraged any resort to that foree, He told thesheriff that Chicago had put down its riot without the help of the troops, and he hoved that they would not be ealled for un- less absolutely necessary. This put the polica force upon their mettie and they were deter- mined to do credit to their calling. As the sherif’s posse and police were arranged, they could have withstood an attack from fifty times their number. Springfield rifles, re- volvers and 600 rounds of ammunition are the tokens of regard which the sheriff and his force have waiting the mob if they ever try to break into the jail. There is a little talk that if the rioters became saturated with liquor there may be some disturbance. But unless there are some very reckless leaders it will be attempted. he experience which the eity has had in the enforcement of prohibition” suggests the need of great caution in selecting the peace officers, “One indisereet man like this Con- stable Pierce can do an immense amount o injury, and involve not only his own, but the Tives of many other persons in joonardy.

Re- ferring to the settled policy of congress in granting pensions to persons whose clains haye been rejected by the pension bureau, the president sa “The policy of frequently r clal amendment decisions of the bir vested by law with the examination of pen- sion claims fully equipped for such exainina- tion, and which ought not to be suspected of any lack of liberality to our veteran soldiers, is exceddingly questionable. 1t may well be doubted if a comiittee of congress has a bet- ter opportunity than sueh agency to judge of the merits of sueh claim. If, however, there is any iack of power in “the ‘pension bur for afull investigation it should be supplied, If the system adopted is inadequate to do fuli Justice to the claimant it should be corrected. and if there is a want of sympathy and sideration for the defenders of our goyer ment the burean should be reorzanized, A disposition to concede the most generous treatment to the disabled, aged and needy among our veterans should not be restrained, and it must be admitted that in somo cases justice and equity cannot be at- taimed” without the charitable tenden- cies of the government in favor of worthy ob- jects and its eare indulged under fix These conditions sometimes_justify to special legislation, but I am_ convine that the interposition by a speeial enactiment in the granting ot pensions should be rare and exceptional.
