The ~. Louis WOrkingmen Organizing
Military Companies from War Vet

ST.. LOUIS, May lin answer to call
addressed to worklngmen who had seen
military service, either in this country or Eu-
rope, between three and four hundred men
met at Turner hall last night. Ferdinand
Amrein called the meeting to order, and
stated that its object was to take steps to-
ward the organization of military companies,
to be composed exclusively of workngmen
who were military veterans, to serve the pur-
poses Of the workingmen and protect them
against the encroachments of the rights by
the military and police forces which had been
arrayed against them, placing them in the
attitude Of outlaws. Several speeches Of the
usual socialistic ard communistic character
were made. A great dealof enthusiasm was
manifested, and some two hundred and fifty
enrolled as soldiers of the army of working
men. These men have no arms, and so far
rs known, no means have been devised to
procure them. They will, however, in all
probability purchase guns as individuals and
commence to drill at once.

Intense Excitement at Ian

LONDON, May 17.-One thousand cotton
operatives at Greephead, near Glasgow, have
struck against a reduction of ten per cent on
their wages.
AT LANCASHIRE.
The excitement in East Lancashire arising
from the differences between the cotton mas
tiers and operatives is still intense. TIE pres
ence OF the military and large bodies of DO
lice alone holds the populace in check in sew
eral large towns, and should to-day's efforts
for settlement fail it is feared that they
may not prove adequate At a meeting of
the operatives ut Oldham, last night, it was
resolved to strike against the proposed five
per cent. reduction on their wages.
AT BLACKBURN
- MANCHESTER, May 17.-There is little
hope on change that the masters will accept
anything except an unconditional reduction.
The small manufacturers of Blackburn were
disposed to accept compromise, but the
larger firms this morning insisted on the re-
duction, with three months notice of a fur
ther change. Whittaker's mill and the Grove
company's mill, at Washington, were burned.
Warburton's mill was fred and badly dam
aged. There was no rioting at Washington,
but the fires were incendiary All is quiet at

Last Fay OF the Lexington Meeting.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 1.-THE spring
meeting Of the Kentucky association closed
to-day with three events. The sunshine at
tracted a very respectable attendance, al
though there was but little in the programme
to attract.
First Race.-Consolation purse, $500,
mile heats, for beaten horses. The entries
were Mesibben's Emma c., Hancock Tam
pico and J. G.. Blows Bill Bass. Before the
race Bass sold in the polls at $25; Emma q,
&lS; TampicO, -. The first heat was easily
won by Bill Bass in 81. Before the second
heat was called rumors were in circulation
that Bill Bass would not be allowed to win
the second heat; that scheme had been fixed
up to cheat the unwary. The truth of these
rumOrs was soon verified. The rider OF Bill
Bass did not attempt to press his horse, but
allowed Emma c. TO take the lead and open
a pass of one hundred and fifty yards before
reaching the half-mile post, and after going
the half of another quarter pulled his horse
up and returned to the stand in a slow trot.
Cries of Foul" were loud and frequent
from the crowd. The judges, after a short
consultation, ruled the jockey off, and took
under consideration the propriety of ruling
off J. G. Blow, the owner OF Bill Bass, and
several other parties who are supposed to be
mixed I'D in the affair. Emma g., having
distanced Bill Bass in :56s4. was declared
the winner of the race. and all bets OH.
