Chicago, M;>y 5 —The aiiarohis'b
iu Chicago inaugurated in earnest
ia?t night 'he reign of lawlessness
which they h ive ttire eneii ami en
deavored to incite for years. They
threw a bomb Into the midst of a line
cf 210 pcHeo ' flicers, and i: exploded
with fear'ul effect, mowing tbe men
down like cattle, almost b fore ' he
miste! of death had exploded. Toe
anarchists delivered a murderous lire
fn m revolvers upon the police as if
their action was prearranged, and as
the latter were ben tin sd on every
tide, ambuscaded the effect of the fire
upon the rat fer of the (fli ers was
fearful. * When the p< lice
had recovored from the first
shock of the attack they
gallantly chart-ad upon their weu'd-
he murderers, shooting at every step
and mowing them d wa as their fed-,
low cUlcere had been b. ; the band
The a. archisv fle.i iu ditiuay before
the charge, hut everywhere they
turned the military fires from the re
volvers of tbe policemen followed
them and thinned their ranks. The
cowardly curs, finding that their
work did not. completely annihilate
the cfflce'B and that, a force large
enough to cope with them was left,
flew iD all directions, seeking the
darkness of alleys, hallways arm side
streets to escape the revengeful fire
of the polioe.
The collision between police and
anarchists was brought about by the
leaders of tbe latter, against spies,
(ram F.elder and A R Per
sons, endeavoring to in-
cite a large mass meeting
to riot and bloodshed From the
socialistic headquarters theie was is
sued, late In the afternoon, the fol
lowing circular which was distributed
throughout the laboring quarters of
the city by the thousands :
“Attention workingmen I A great
mass meeting at 7:30 o’clock at Hay

At 3 o’clock a iarge crowd had ool-
lec'ed on Desplaines street, just north
ol Randolph, in a dimly lighted spot
near which were many wagons and
trucks, August 8r>eia w.a the first
epeaksr. Af.er a long, rambling talk
on tbe labor prob cm, he asked:
“What mean this d’s;'ey of Gatling

A DYNAMITE BOMB
It was well aimed iu Its deadly
mission and feil directly
in the middle of the street
and betwetn tbe two first double
columns of police. Tbe instant it
struck the ground it exploded with a
terrible, eulleu roar, seeming to shake
the earth. Mem, fearfully wounded
and dying, fell cu all sides, ibedeuth-
dealiig contents of ths bomb reach*
lng almost to the rear ranks The
mangled tUlcers were groaning on
the ground. A gatling gun cunkl
not have cut a wider path. A
scene of horror followed, the details
of which may never he known. Tne

Instant broke ranks, but almost in
stantly recovered their presence of
Blind, B fore, however, they had
time to real zi the destruction which
had been wrought tu their ranks,
crowds of anaroulsts gathered In front
and on either side of them a. and
opened fire with revolvers at almost
point blank range. The first volley
of the mob was quite as fearful in lt«
(fleet as was th>- explosion of tne
In mb, but the cfillers did not lose
their presence of mind. O ilers fl w
thick and fasl from .be captains and
lieutenants, and within tbe b; 1 fee:

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
to them with their revolvers The
anarebi-te did not s shin tbe charge
intact, but tied as soon as they could
din iuguish tin? blue coats end bright
buttons ol the cflicius through the
smoke from their revolvers. The
cracking of Tieee weapons was
incessant for five minutes
and only once was anything
like a volley fi sd by either side
