HAILS IN YANKEE SHIPS. jUB SBOO,OOO PROPOSITION PASsKS THE SENATE. plTunDße indeed for THsparasinjE the Fair Names of Three <>l' Dixie’s Greatest 1 e adore —Need of Me chanics and Manufactories in the South —Synopsis of the Votes. Washington, April 4.—At 2 o’clock today the post offico appropriation bill was laid before the Senate. Mr. Call fakored the prepeal to appropriate *BOO,OOO for carrying the United States mails to Central and South America, Clnina, Japan, eto. lie did not regard it u a subsidy. It was necessary, be said, lo the establishment of commercial rela tions witn those countries that we,should bay* regular and speedy mail communi cation with them. My. Plumb said no Senator bad shown that the sum per mile provided for by tbe amendment was too much, l'bo same Senators who objected to this amendment In favor of our foreign mail, were here fa voring the application oi an amendment embodying tlie same principle for a fast train trout the Eastern States to Florida. NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSIDY. The proposed arrangement for foreign mails was not based on tbe theory that it was a subsidy, but. that we should apply to our foreign mails tbe principle that had tor many years been applied to the transportation of the inland mails oi the United States. Mr. l’lumb asked who was to be benefited by the present ar rangement. The Southern States would be the beneficiaries of this proposi tion. Tbe cities and harbors of the South were so piuced that they would naturally become the mouth-pieces by which tbe United States should speak to tbe peoples’ South of them. The southern Stales were now mak ing the cheap cottons, wanted by Central and South America. Yet tne Senators from the Southern States were opposing this proposition. They did not speak tbe language of modern progress or modern civilization. The South of to-day was the South of Calhoun, ot Yancey audoi Jefl'er you Davis. MR. MORGAN PROTESTS. Mr. Morgan interposed to comment on the unfairness, as he called it, of this class of argument at this late stage of the debate. Southern men, he said, had no •pportunlty to reply to it. Mr. Plumb said no Senator should be out off from reply, by limitation of time at least. Mr. Plumb’s vote would be cast tor full opportunity tor a reply. Tbe South ot to-ilay in national control, he continued, responded to the wishes, in terests and principles inculcated by Cal houn. Inforced by i ancey, and represent ed today by’ Jefferson Davis. He (Mr. Plumb) did not speak of that as in any sense personally offensive, or as qualifying the personal'sincerity of men. AM, HONORED MEN, MT. Morgan remarked that no 6ueh im peachmentor accusation bad the slightest personal ofl-us • for him. Every name mentioned by Mr. Plumb was consecrated iu Mr. Morgan’s memory as tbe name oi an honorable and great man. lie hoped the Male ot Kaasax might some time or other produce such a cuaracier as Cal houn, Yancey, or Davis. Mr. Plumb retorted that Mr. Morgan had that aspiration lor Kansas all to him self. Mr. Plumb would not take oue leaf from the chaplet of any man as an honor able, sincere, honest or able man, but loose men represented tbe South of slavery, a South that did not want free labor. So tb > South took up to-day the bur fen si ■'-•a where it left off in lubl yieldin< • - V. same determination against free CAN'.' 4. AND LABOR. It was the old doctrine In favor of capi tal against labor. Tbe capitalist witn his coffers tilled and believing in the la w of supply and demand as applied to labor like everything else said, “Give me the right to buy my ships where I piease— Where 1 cau buy cheaply the products of the labor of other countries, ard l don’t care alxnit American labor.” The South, Mr. Piuuib said, would never take its proper place in tbe galaxy of Slates, or perform its part as a rival in the race for progress as long as it said that there should be no labor on snip or lartn that should rea ize that it was entitled to good wages, or to the assertion of its rights. The South had eschewed manufactures. T hat was the sign by which sue had been conquered. LACK OK MECHANICS. The South had been valiant and de termined, but had no mechanics and no skilled artisans who could make imple iiienls of warfare or means of transporta tion < n land or sea. Mr. I‘iurub, however, had no doubt tbat there was to be anew South tbat would develop its coal anil iron deposits. Uuri n lot, should be able to defend itself, li should have every element of defense established within itself, and while Mr. numb did not believe in protection for protection's sake, yet whatever the tariff cost us was insignificant in comparison with tbe benefits it conferred in building up our capacity ior defense, in giving us skilled nrt'sans and many workshops. With tho-e we could hold tba world in defiance. Tue debate then closed and voting negau. A number ol amendments were ottered to the proposition of tue committee. Mr. i’ngn endeavored, without success, to se cure an appropriation of SIO,OOO for better mad facilities between Mobile and Selma. Mr. Morgan endeavored, also without success, to secure an aniemliceut wuere bv ships belonging to American citizens Slid manned iiv Americans might come within tue provisions of the clause. HOW XT READS. Ibo committee’s provision for foreign fliaiia, as finally amended by tue Senate and agreed to, reads as follows: "For the transportation ol foreign mails b> American bunt aud registered steam imps to secure tcrealei frequency audreg tiarity m dispatch, aud.greater speed in tae carriage of sued mails to Brazil, Mex ico.

SBO,OOO was added to the amount already in the bill for railway postal car service. l One of the Senate committee's proposed amendments authorised the postmaster general “to contract for inland ana for eign steamboat mail service, when it can becombiuedin one route, where foreign offices are not more Ilian 200 miles dis tant from the domestic office, on tbe same terms and conditions as inland steamboat service; tbe contract to be made with and performed by American bnilt and registered steamships.” This was agreed to by the Senate while the limitation of compensation for such service to 60 cents per mile each way was struck out. THE BILL PASSED, In other respects the bill was passed as reported from the Senate committee. The vote on the final passage of the bill was 4o yeas to 10 nays. Those voting in the negative were Messrs. Berry,(Joke, Gray, Harris, Jones of Arkansas, Keuna, Maxey, Saulsbury, Vest and Whitthorne. Mr. Morgan ottered a series of resolu tions which were ordered printed and to lie on the table, declaring that it is the duty of Congress to extend the necessary mail facilities across the seas; from the principal ports of all foreign countries with which the United States has any considerable trade or where trade can be profitably developed; that it is the duty of Congress to provide that the American people shall have the right to buv ships abroad and import them at reasonable rates of dutv, and that laws prohibiting tbe importation of loreign-built ships are as unjust and unwise as laws would be that would prohibit the importation-of all other articles of foreign manufacture. The Senate then adjourned. MORRISON'S FIRM FRONT. Free Lumber. Free Melt and Free Wool to Be His Loudest War Cry. Washington, May 4.—The Morrison tariff 1 bill will probably be called up for consideration in the House by Tuesday, May 18. Mr. Morrison has no disposition to delay unnecessarily the consideration ot the appropriation bill. He will allow tbe army ami the sundry civil appropria tion hills to be put through by tbe Appro tions Committee as soon as the river and harbor bill is passed, which will probably be to-morrow night. The Morrison bill gains by delay. It is stronger to-day than it has ever been. There is no truth whatever in the pub lished report that Speaker Carlisle and some of the revenue reformers of the Ways and Means Committee, want free wool taken out of the Morrison bill. Neither Speaker Carlisle nor Mr. Morrison, nor any other revenue reformer has at any time entertained any such idea. They regard free wool as the very backbone or the Morrison bill. If free wool should be taken out the bill would tie materially weakened. The revenue reformers pro pose to make their fight after they defeat the motion, which Mr. Reid is expected to make,and Mr. Randall to support,to strike out the enacting clause on all after the enacting clause in the blit as t hey expect to do, chiefly on free lumber, free salt and tree wool. BEN BUTLER’S REQUEST. Gen. Bragg, chairman of the House Committee on Military affairs, said to day that his committee had not acted as yeton Ben Butler’s letter asking a rein vestigation ot his accounts as Treasurer of the National lioin" tor disabled volun teers, and probahlv would uot (lo so. He said that when Gen. Butler spoke to him about the matter,belore writing the letter, he replied that tbe committee would not voluntarily take up the burden of such an uvestigation, but be added, “if you want such an investigation, General, you know bow to make us undertake it.” Gen. Butler said that he did. Mr. Bragg supposed that Gen. Butler would have a resolution adopted in the House directing the committee to make the investigation. He was surprised on his return from the Weet to find that nothing hut Gen. Butler’s letter to the speaker bsd been referred to the committee. The com mittee is cot disposed, be says, and could not make tbe investigation without power to send lor persons and papers, and to employ expert accountants and sten ographers. It is not disposed to originate a resolution carrying’ the necessary authority, aod involving four or five weeks of hard work just as the warm weather is beginning. The following patents were issued to dav: John L. Woodward and R. Mont lort.of Butler,Ga.,whiffietree; Washington L. Wait, Greenville, 8. C., oar coupler; Nicolas Peterson, Charleston, S. C., mos quito canopy for bedsteads; James Smith, Fruitland Park, near Leesburg, Fla., combined railway sleeper and cnair. INTERPOLATED MATTER. Alleged Doctoring of the Ohio Senato rial Inveatigxtion Report. Washington, May 4.—ln the Senate to-day Mr. Hoar presented a letter re ceived by him from Kmitt Tompkins, Secretary of tbe Ohio Legislative invest!- gating committee regarding the printing of the report of that committee, recently submitted to the United States Senate. The letter states that Mr. Tompkins on examining the copv printed by order of the Senate finds that surreptitious inter polation has been made in the copy fur nished theprinter.tbe matter interjw’dated not being iu the original copy sent to the Senate bv tbe Ohio House of Repre sentatives. The interpolation, too Secre tary says, is of matter Intended to reflect on the good faith of the majority of the Ohio committee. An Insin Cticn of the copy, Mr. Tompkins adds, shows that the added matter is written to pencil on so ft paner and wbollv disconnected from the official papeis. Ho asks an investigation of ihesubfect by the Senate committee, In order that the perpetrator of the fraud inav be discovered. Un motion or Mr. Hoar the letter was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Eleotlons. the matter ordered reprint ed in correct form and the distribution of incorrect copies ordered stopped. Rhode Island's Contest. Washington, May 4.—ln tbe House to-day a resolution was called up allow ing the contestee. William A. Pierce, ftointhe second Rhode island district, 30 days to take further testimony, aod coniestant, C. U. Page, ten days there after, to take testimony In rebuttal.

Washington, May 4.— Toe Speaker ! laid before mo House to-day a ootumuni- ) cation from the Secretary of Slate of New York, inclosing a copy ot the resignation , of Joseph Pulitzer as Reoresentative from tbe Ninth New Yoik Congressional dis trict, and it was laid on the table.

Cleveland’s Hijgli-Mimled Course Not to the ldkiuH' of the Master ofthe Office Cat—Au Assertion that Mr. Garland Should Have “Smashed” the Government Suit or Resigned. Washington, May 4.—Charles A. Dana appeared before tho telephone in vestigation committee to-day. He began by reading the following letter from E. N. Hill, dated Washington. Nov. 9: “En closed 1 send you a full history of the Pan Eleotrio Telephone Company which 1 wrote sometime ago, not with a view to publication at tho time. I furnished the Tribune correspondent with the original information upon which it acted. Every allegation in this article, exoept the one that Mr. Garland attended a meeting at No. 1237 G. street, is upon my own knowl edge and not hearsay. If you think it is news and worthy of publication send me a check tor wbat it is worth. If not you can give It to the office cat. “E. N. Hill. “P. S—l shall not offer it to any other paper.” NOT TO BE PUBLISHED. To this letter Mr. Dana said he directed that a reply be made to the effect that he hud concluded not to publish it. In an swer to Chairman Boyles’ questions the witness said he had'eommented on the Pan Electric matter, but iu a very mild aud gentle manner. “The reason why I declined to publish Mr. Hill’s communication was, not that it did not seem to be news. It was quits interesting. A good deal was (resb, although a good deal may have required confirmation; possibly that might have been had on investigation. I was not willing to take any part in attacking tbe administration, or any member of it, and that was the reason why Mr. Hill’s com munication was uot used.” REGARDED A8 AN ATTACK. The Sun he ssid bad published no origi nal news on the subject. The Chairman—Did you regard Mr. Hill’s letter as an attack upon the admin istration ?” The Witness—Most decidedly. I regard ed it as a scandal, most injurious, if true, to the administration. The Chairman —Has the Sun since then taken part in discussion ot the matter lrom that standpoint? The Witness—Always; and I have en deavored to influence public opinion and to influence the admloistrati n against any prosecution ofthe original Pan Elec tric scheme of making the United States an Executive partv to patent suits. Tbe Chairman —Did you change your mind in regard to attacking the adminis tration ? The Witness —I have not. It was nec essary to criticise the administration not to attack it in the sense of publishing any scandalous reports. 1 discriminated very stiongly between seeking out and pub lishing allegations and facts ot a scanda lous nature and injurious to character which are yet to be verified, which may be true and commenting upon facte which are notorious and unquestioned. PRIVATE CONTROVERSIES. The Chairman—You say that you have endeavored to influence tbe administra tion against prosecution of a government suit? Tne Witness—Not particularly In tbe proeecution of tbe patent suit, it seems to be a fatal blindness, an inexpressible folly, for tbe President to engage the United States in a private controversy. The Chairman—Then your view has been, I presume, that it is Improper to use the name of the government, or for the government to become a party to tbe revocation of a patent alleged to have been obtained by fraud? The Witness—The question is one that is sure to be decided in the ordinary action or the courts, without the govern ment being a party. I see no reason for tbe President be’oe in volved iu it, and still less when the pro ceedings originated with a lot of dead oeats who should not be tolerated in any respeotableparty. Tbe Chairman—Do you mean the Attor ney General? The witness —No. The chairman—Do you refer to Senator Harris? The Witness—No, sir. A FAMILY OF POETS. The Chairman—To the Rogerses? The Witness (dryly)—They are poets. The Chairman—l understand you to say that tbe use oi the government's name is not uecossary—that the same results can be obtained in a suit between parties? The Witness—lt is sure to be obtained. The Chairman—Do you know ot any such suit? The Witness—l do not. I can see no difference between the revocation of Prof. Bell’s patent on the ground that be oh. tained it by fraud, and a decision of the Supreme Court to the effeot that the pat ent belongs to Mr. Drawbaugb. The witness having alluded to the Pan- Electric organizers as speculators, Mr. Boyle wished to know why be distin guished in that way between the Pan Electric aud Bell telephone. REGULARLY ORGANIZED. The witness replied that the 801 l Com pany was a regularly organized company, having rights that had been recognized by the courts, while tbs Pan Electric people were attempting to get recognition, selling stock and giving it away in vari ous manners lor that purpose. The Chairman—Have you any knowl edge that the Bull Company was once in that condition? The Witness —1 don’t know anything of tbe Bell Company. Mr. Millard (to the Chairman)—You don’t mean a similar condition ? The Chairman (positively)—Very much alike. It appears iu evideuce before this committee (to tho witness) your view has been controlled, then, by the legal question? “And the political question,” added the witness. LAW AND POLITICS. The Chairman—Law and polities, then, have controlled the Sun in its dismission of the Pan Fled tie enterprise? Tue W itness—That is a general state ment. Continuing, the witnoss said that be bad repeatedly expressed the opinion that the President could not bring a patent suit without a special statute. No arti cles bad been published in the Sun at the instance of officers or individuals of the Beil Company. They had been published without solicitation or suggestion from any quarter. The Chairman! with some hesitation)— It is nattily necessary to ask whether anythingiius been paid? The witness smiled, and replied that nothing had beeu paid. Then Mr. Boyle asked If anything bad been paid tv secure repubiication of the Sun article* in other papers. "No, air,"responded the witness. “We don’t need to, been use our articles are copied a good deal.” MR. DANA'S CONFERENCE. Mr. Boyle asked if the witness had con ferred with the Belt attorney on a aub jcOL He replied that hrfbad conferred with Mr. Dickerson, an old triend, on tbe scion tiflo question. "1 have had quite a dis pute with him on tbe subject,” Mr. Dana added. “And vet your views seem to have been alike,” remarked tne chairman. "They are mors alike now than they were at that, time,” replied tbe witness. “Mr. Dickerson from the first—when tbe Interior Department proceedings were pending—iield tuat the government unit would he brought while i denied it, say ing that no President endowed wtiu good sense and consciousness ot uprightness would uliow such a suit to lie brought.” MEETINGS WITH HILL. Tha witness said be owned no stock in the Bell Company or in any kindred com pany. He bail met .Mr. liill several times and found him to he a great anti-monop oly uian. U had several times offered articles directed against railroads, and the witness had bought one or fwo within the lust live or six years. The uhamnuu then turned to pome of the Sun publications god referred partic ulailyto an article entitled Vila tin led Telephone,” which appeared in the issue of March 22. “That is a story—a work of imagination—intended to illustrate a principle,” remarked the witness. The Chairman —“To illustrate the Pan Electric enterprise?” The Witness—“ Rather; and the general situation. You will find it very good reading; I didn’t write it. It was written by one of tne young men in the office—a vetv brilliant young man.” *‘l guess so,” commented the chairman, - dryly. A NEW CABINET OFFICER. The chairman also referred to on article entitled "A New Cabinet Officer,” and re marked that in neitberoi the articles was the legal aspect discussed- The witness replied: "They are views of a political and moral nature. They were not written by me. 1 wish they were. 1 wish lud tne laculty to write such things.” He admitted that be regarded the ar tides us quite severe attacks upon the parties referred to but thought them quite justifiable. “1 think it is, generally, a Kind ot acundal,” he said, "in whiob the Executive of the United States is made auxiliary.” Continuing, be said ho had not. attacked tne whole administration but certain members of it. He should support the Democratic President u great deal more earnestly than a Republican President, it he thought tbe President was right. PREVIOUS CHAGRIN. The Chairman—Did you not have some reason to disapprove of tho course of the administration before discussion of Pan Electric mutters in the Sunt Tbe Witness—l bad never fully ap proved of Mr. Cleveland’s civil service principles, but there was nothing about that of a scandalous nature. It was bad politics and bad patriotism, but the Pan Electric was of a different nature. The Chairman inquired if the whole course of the Sun had not been influenced by other causes of dissatisfaction. The Witness —l should think not; no mnu can answer that he is entirely free from influence of some sort. Mr. Rauney—The stockholders had nothing to do with the publication? The Witness (crisply)—The duty of stockholders is to receive their dividends. [Laughter.] Mr.Ranney—And yours to earn them? The witness assented. LIKE THE CREDIT MOBII.IER. In reply to Mr. Oatrs Mr. Dana said he regarded the Pan Electric organization as similar to the Credit Moblller in its leatures. Mr. Oates—You said that the President should have had more sense than to per mit a suit to be brought. Your bellei, L think, was very high in the gentleman's (the President’s) abilities before the elec tion ? The Witness—l thought tery highly of his abilities in some respeots. 1 think he was a very bad Democrat, and I tried very hard to beat him. 1 came mighty near doing it, too. He had a tight squeeze —a plurality of only 1,000 votes in New York, and Burchard did that. [Laughter.] The Democratic parly would be a giear deal better oft to-day in iny judgment if he had been defeated. MR. GARLAND’S COURSE. The chairman Inquired whether, if the law bad made provision for the discharge of the Attorney General’s duties by an other ofHoer, when the Attorney General was interested, the witness thought the Attorney General should have resigned. Mr. Daua replied that under such a statement, where the law clearly pro vided for such a circumstance, there would be no necessity lor resignation. Tbe Chairman—ls not tbat this case precisely f Mr. Dana—l do not think that it is. The Chairman—All tbe evidence. In this case is to tbe effect that the Attor ney General refused from the beginning to have any connection whatever with tbe application for a suit in the name of the government, and that he had left the city. It has boon testified by the At torney General and Solicitor General that the suit was ordered by the Solic itor General without any previous con versation with tbe Attorney General. Tbe application came after the Attorney General’s departure. The suit was or dered bv the Solicitor General on bis own motion. If these things be true,do you regard the Attorney General as oul pableiu permitting the suit to be brought? Mr. Dana—l think that tbe Attorney General should have protected his de partment. The. Chairman—And provented the ap plications being allowed? Mr. Dana—And provented tbe appli cations being allowed. Tbe examination was concluded with a question from Mr. Millard: “If Mr. Garland had found, on bis re turn, tbat they had taken advantage of bis absence to institute a suit, should he not have discontinued the suit or left the department?” “That is what I think,” replied Mr. Dana. Mr. Millard—He should have discon tinued it. Mr. Dana—He should have smashed It. THE DISPUTED PARAGRAPH. The iuierpola ed mutter consists ofthe following paragraph, which appeared at the cod M tho volume made up of the majority and minority report and testi mony: “The majority have all alongconductod this itivsiiguion as tnough they felt it incumbent on them Pi find somebody guilty—as though some great party in terests would be Jeopardized un leas they reported that somebody was guilty of sotnelhinc. We have helped them to draw a drag net in every muddy pool anywhere and everywb ro they were pleased to designate, and every time they thought they hud captured the boss boodler, aud when tuny reached in to grapple with and to land h.in. they in variably found that It was only a small sucker wulcb they look between their lingers, and threw back Into bis nstive element. I'be majority report should read that although they didn’t find any one guilty of corrupt practices they think it a burning shame that someone wasn’t guilty ot bribery, ao that they might re port hie capture by this com mittee.” Tbe House pan electric committee will not have to Issue a subpama tomorrow tor (ieorge Jon-s. of the New York Time*. Mr. Jooea is here and will appear before tue ooinmittee to-morrow.

AN ARCH ISTS OI'KN THE WAR BY HULLING BOMBS. l ive of Chicago's Finest lliie the Dust—BiucCoalH Retail'll the Com pliment With Volleys of Bullets— Police Station Floors Strewn With i lie Wounded—Frequent. Out breaks in Various Paris of tho City. Chicago. May 4 —The rioters arrested yesterday are Bohemians, Poles, Germans and Irishmen, two being irishmen out of a dozen arrests. THE PACKING BOUSE TROUBLES. The packing-housemen have gained tbe greater part of their demands. Some of the employers pay nine and others feu hours’ wages for eigut hours’ work. There was no effort to dispute their claims. McCormick’s Reaper Works opened as usual this morning, fully one-half of the workingmen returning to the lactory, des pile ino Inti initiation and bloodshed of vesterday ufiornoon. A special force of polioe was on duty to protect the men ou their way to work, but their services, ap parently, were uot required, as the anarchists and their followers of the day precedlug were not to be seen. a riot quickly quelled. Threatening indications appeared in manyquartersof the city this morning. A crowd of Bohemians, Poles and Germans began to assent hie on Prairie avenue, in the southwestern portion of tbe city this morning, where incendiary harangues were uttered, which provoked a riot later on but tho police raided and effectually scattered the rioters, without making any arrests, however. These men then proceeded southeast, tunning a oolumu three or tour thousand strong. They directed their march toward tire large glue lactory near the orossing of the river, at Thirty-fifth street, with the intention of closing down tbe works. A strong torce of polioe arrived and arrested nine of the ringleaders and overawed the crowd, which moved oil'without making an attempt to rescue their fellows. The size oi the crowd was such that the chief of polioe directed a reinforcement Of the officers on duty in that distnot. THE INCREASED PRECAUTIONS. The knowledge that such a large gath ering was being kept together and appa rently urged by tbe leaders to acts ol violeqce, caused more thorough prepara tions to be taken to guard against troubles. Tbe commanders of the several State regiments have largely reinforced the guards at tbe armories without specific orders, but simply as a precau tionary measure. A crowd of strikers attempted an assault on the Milwaukee and St. Paul shops at Western avenue this forenoon, but were driven from the scene by the police. BRICKBAT AND BULLET. The southwestern section of tile eitv was this afternoon the scene of another riot. A crowd ot anarchists and their friends assembled on tha corner of Eigh teenth and Morgan streets for the purpose of bolding a meeting. It was also said that, they intended to renew tbe attack on McCormick’s reaper works. The police, wno had been notified of tbe affair, kept close watch on the proceedings. Hostiiltics soon commenced. Tbe crowd numbered nearly 1,000. De tective Mike Gianger, of tbe Contra! station attempted to arrest one of the dis orderly men. The detective was immedi ately set upon by a bowling mob. Before be could oscaue be was struck in the forehead by a brick, kuookud senseless and very badly injured. Then revolvers were drawu and indiscriminate shooting began, during which Officer John Strong, of the flinman street station, was shot in the hand. A number of riotous persons were also injured. The police charged tho crowd and made seven arrests, capturing tbe man who threw tho brick at Detec tive Granger. ANARCHISTS AT THE HAYMARKKT. Great were the expectations of the So cialists’ leaders regarding the meeting called for to-night. As early as. 7:30 o’clock had beeu msntioned as the hour when the epeaking and excite ment would begin. The place chosen was the old Haymarket on Randolph street. capable of bolding iroin 16,000 to 20,000 men. Toucning the square at the comer is Halstead street, the outletto tbe lum ber yards, packing houses and to the factories, such as MoOormick’s. In close proximity to the opposite side ot the Uayuurket is Milwaukee avenue, leading through a widespreading distnot, uenseiy populated with Germnns and Poles. Surrounding the square on every hand are 10-eent lodging-houses, saloons aud many of the lowest dives in the city. A tour around the market about 8 o’clock showed that the scattered groups of men ’oltering in tbe vicinity would make aorowd numbering not to exceed 1,500. TYPICAL FIRE-RATE ltd. From their chance remarks and un kempt appearance It was easy to deter mine that they were anarchism of the neat approved type. Nevertheless, a quieter gathering could barely be Im agined. Passers-by who inquired the oc casion for the meeiing would wait five or ten minutes expecting the crowd to rap idly increase in numbers, in this they Were disappointed. It was after 5i o’clock before tbe stolid groups of anarchists were cheered by the presence of any leaders. August Hplea finally arrived aud climbing a wagon in front of Crane Bros.' iaouirv begun an address denouncing capital and claiming that he was not the cause of yesterday’s riot, but that it was tbe natural result of class oppression. There was no enthusiasm created bv his remarks, and when he was succeeded by A. H. Parsons tbe crowd began gradually to dwindle away. BOMBS AMONO THE POLICE. Within half a block of tho speakers could be seen four patrol wagons with horses ready and a good sized detail of police. A mau who was standing in the crowd received a pistol ball in his thigh, and was taken to tho Central Police Sta tion. He says that during tho progress of a speech by on* of ihe Socialists, a squad of officers marched by close to tne speak er’s stand. Someone shouted “Kill the Almost as soon as tha word* bsd been Uttered bombs were thrown fruui near the stand Into tbe midst of the squad of officers. The bombs exploded instantly and dve policemen fell, others were wounded ami several of tbe socialists did not escape. About 200 officers had been data!led to at lend tbe moeilng, and bad been in tbe vicinity since the Soolalls's had begun to assemble. At the tin a ot the throwing oi the bombs too crowd had dwindled to less than 1,000. The utterances of the speak ers were still of tne most Inflammatory character, and tbe hearers wti > stilt re mained grow riotous In tbeir demeanor. ADVANCE OF THE FOLIC*. The police concluded to put an end to the disturbance, ami advancing, ordered he crowd to dP jierae. At first the Social ists fed back slowly, one of the shak ers *l.lll urging them to stand firm.

Tbe hall bad been occu pied as a drill room by a com pany ot zouaves, which was chiefly mnde up of foreigners. It is stated that the lew Americans in the organization withdrew yesterday on ac count of tbe socialistic views of tho others, and it is supposed that tbe latter contemplated some movement which came to the knowledge of tbe police and induced them to make tbe raid.

Tbe North Side rolling mills shutdown yesterday for an indefinite period, and about 1,000 men are out of employment. The superintendent said that In all prob ability the mills would not start up again until the labor troubles were at an end.

GLADSTONE’S HARD ROAD LEADING editors of LONDOU SLVF.HELY CRITICAL. ILc Times Belittle* tho Value of) •i miTiraii Applause—The TeleJ jgi'itpli Object* to an Allesod Laclfi of Bestrictinns on the Towers tlic Proposed Irish Parliament—NflJ New Justification Found by tha i Chronicle. i London, May 4.—The I) hj ,Yh>* says Mr. Gladstone's manifesto is a stir-j rinjf appeal fur Justice, but no more than justice to Ireland. We entertain no exa ppctatlon tbat tbe Irish question will na settled until tbo constituencies shall have. had an opportunity of passing judgment on it. A UNIQUE DOCUMENT. The Titnenutyu : "The manifesto as * public document is almost unique in kind In subatanceit is a confession of inability to carry borne rule by au act of imperlou* authority and alliance with the Parnell ltcs. A more striking example of dem agogic temper in Its most dangerous form has rarely been recorded. Tb* value of American anpliuise, m which it exults, is dependent in our estimate of the purity ol politics in America. Tb* manifesto contains nothing in vindica tion of Mr. Gladstone’s policy. Th* crushing arguments of I-ord llartlngtora and Mr. Chamberlain and Other* are un answered. This appeal to the people tor tbeir decision may be interpreted to ra can an early dissolution of Parliament. Tb most amazing of ail is tne hint that th* Premier will abandon tbo land purchase bill.” ~ ABANDONMENT PROPOSED. The Morning Tost says: "W e seriously! commend Mr. Gladstone's reference to thal Irish land bill to all Kuaiisli in whom sens* of personal and national honor is no* dead. Finding it an insuperable difficulty! to make British lax-pavers buy out lriab landlords instead of providing for the pres nervation of their property from confisca tion by an Irish Parliament b oooly pro poses to abandon them, and adds insult to injury by alleging that they themselve* are to 1)1 ame fur the results of their ob durao.v.” EXTREMELY PLEffISCtTARY. The Daily Teltgraph says: “it is a mors plebiscitary appeal than the elect ral, manifesto. Mr. Gladstone address?* himself to s rasss meeting of the people. He has not scrupled lo avail himself Of every form of persuasion, legitimate and Illegitimate, if he had presented tb* scheme of local government for Ireland, we would have been willing to support It. but we object to Ins proposals just be causa tbe Dublin Parliament Is not to bei restricted to making laws, dealing with 1 Irish as contra distinguished from liup#, rial affairs.” ITS HIGH SPIRIT. The Chronicle sayei "The spirit which the sddress breathe* Is as hb'h as ever, but, when the full meed of admiration i* ucconled wo fail to discover any greater justification for tin* Irish proposals than, has orevlouslv been adduced.” The Standard says: “The cry of anger *nd of despair will oauea infinitely more dismay lo his friends than concern to hist opponents. He is content to dwell upon, expression* oi approval from tbeColouiea and America. Surely he cannot decolv* himself as to tbe motives of the applause.’* PEACE IN THE SOUTHWEST. Martin Irons Satisfied with the Result of tne Fi*ht, Hr. Louis. May 4.—Marlin Irons, by whom Hie Gould Southwestern railroad system strike was ordered, when asked, what effect he anticipated the method of ending tbo trouble would have upon tho Knights of Laoor, said: “We were fight ing for recognition, and we got it from Congress, which represents all tbe citi zens of the United Stales. Is that not complete enough recognition ? Our order will grow after this even more rapidly tban it has during tbe past few weeks, when application* have been no numer ous for charter* that w* could carc*lT find time to oonsldcr them.” ADDITIONAL CIRCULARS. In addition to the circular issued lash night by the General Executive Board off tlie Knights ot Labor ordering tbe mem bers of district assemblies 17, i>3 and lilt to apply to tbe railroad companies for th* positions vacated bv them when tne strike was commenced, an order was sent to tha master workman of each local aswemblr informing them tbat tbe strike bail been declared oil ami ordering them to notify all tbeir men to iriako application for work to-day.
