All the furniture manufacturing houses OF
Baltimore with one exception, shut down
yesterday. The men demand eight hours and
the manufacturers refuse to comply with
their request, claiming that they cannot sup
ply their trade with reduced working hours.
They are, however, willing to pay for ten
hours work, even at a slight increase Of
wages, Five or six hundred hands are af-
fected by the strike.
A large majority of the strikers on tha
Gould Southwestern system have been taksn
back, but those who participated in acts OF
violence were told that their services were no
longer required, while others were told that
their positions were already filed.
Canadian assemblies, in consequence of q
statement of the grand vicar marshal ofpthe
will issue q bull absolutely condemning and
communicating the Knights of Labor, are
preparing to leave that order.
McCormick's reaper works re-opened yes
terday as usual, fully one-half the working
men returning Notwithstanding the riot of the
day previous. Police were on hand to pro-
tect them but their services were not needed.
Martin Irons is satisfied with the outcome
OF the Southwestern strike, claiming that the
Knights have received recognition from
congress and that is all they ask.
The Michigan car shops have refused
another demand of ten hours pay and nine
hours work, with Is per cent advance. The
men are peaceable.
Six hundred men are still locked out in
Washington, half being carpenters and tbs
other half representatives Of the other build
ing trades.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
PICKED UP AT THE POLLS.

Mr.. A. b. Robbins might be called q stimuli
taneous alderman, if he should ever take his
seat in the city council of St. Paul. 1t is re-
ported that he has had printed blanks
which he will make application to the council
for leave of absence from such council
meetings as may be held during sessions Of
the board of trade in the twin city.
Gen. G. NJ. MacCarthy is all right, and any
1nsinuation that he was not really trying to
work for Maj. Newson is base SANDER. The
story that the Democratic city csmmittee
hired him to write up that GLOBE r. r. r.
business as blow at the poet candiite is
positively denied.
Paul Brady, who keeps saloon at the COR
ner of Eva street and Chicago avenue, got
into an alteration with W. FL. Blair regarding
the merits OF some of the men elected yester-
day and when they arrived at the police sta
ton in charge Of policeman they were badly
cut up.
Some people wont say word about
smashing any more rings until it is time for
them to be showed under again by good re-

not trying to put campaign that comes next
fall into an election that is held this spring
Was there deep laid plot ON the part of
the Republicans to let the Democrats win and
trade away the small offices now in the hope
of gaining something next fall? If there was

morning after the Republican convention,
looks just as natural as he did that morning,
but the umbrella is way out Of whack.
Itwas pleasant day and the honest voters
came out and cast their ballots Mr.. Refs
majority was about 1000. The honest voter
knows good taffy when he sees it and has no
particular use for it.

A resolution of thanks to Gen. G. NJ. Mac
Carthy was unanimously passed by the
friends of George NJ. Refs last night for the
able manner in which he conducted their
campaign.
1t has been reported that John De Laittre
of Minneapolis wants to be the next mayor Of
st. Paul, and that Mr.. Robbins will work to
secure him the nomination.
The friends of E. G. Long in the Seventh
ward were making threats of investigating
the judges that took in the alleged illegal
votes, last night.
Tom Jefferson says he run for school in
spector just to test the colored vote for next
fall and he found it very satisfactorily hung
together.
The saloons were closed yesterday and not
more than a half dozen drunken men could
De found in the city.
1t was said that when the result in the
Third was known William F. Bickel shed tears.
1t really seems that nobody was crying for
Maj. Newson so hard as he thought they were.
The polling places were well guarded by
policemen.

Returning to work.

ST. LOUIS, May General Manages
HoXie of the Missouri Pacific railroad to-
day sent instructions to General Superin
tendent Kerrigan to guide him in dealing
with the applications for work by the lat(
strikers. He quotes as part of these in
structions the wording OF advertisement
for help published during the strike, il
which the company undertakes not to asI
any questions of applicants as to whethe
or not they are members of any labor Of
other organization.
Mr.. Kerrigan is instructed that men whs
have been engaged during the strike are
not to be discharged, that men
who have committed acts Of violence
against the company, or who have advised
such action are not to be taken back, such
having already been announced as the
company's terms. Mr.. Hoxie then adds:
l learn from your reports that about 600 Of
the employees who struck on March have 10
sumed their places since the first order to re-
sumo work issued by the grand master
workman of the Knights of Labor on March
20, and that many new men have been ems
ployed under the advertisement for heiI
above referred to, so that the present force il
nearly adequate for the needs Of the COM
pany and entirely sufficient for it,
present requirements in the shops
at Atchison, Kansas City, Parsons, Sc
dalia and Palestine. I also wrote your
recommendation that the shops at De
Soto remain closed for the present.
In compliance with the above instruc-
tions you will see that the applications
for unemployment of those of our former
employees who have families and own homes
upon the line Of the road are first con-
sidered.''

CHICAGO, May 4.-The Arbeiter lie
tung, German paper. edited by Spies, the
socialist, who was one of the speakers who
melted the riot at McCormick's, announces
this afternoon that great meeting of ''the
people" will be hsld tonight on Desplaines
street, and whoever condemns the horri-
BILE brutality of yesterday must be there"
The paper further says:
Workingmen, the hated police yesterday
murdered four of your brothers and wounded
perhaps twenty-five more at McCormick's
factory. Had your brothers. who had moth
ing but stones to defend themselves, been
armed with good weapons and a few dynamite
bombs, none of the murdererS would have es-
capped his well-deserved fate. Only four of
them (the policemen were wounded. That
is sad. Yesterdays massacre occurred that
the 10000 strikers in this city might be filled
with fear and terror, and that the dissatisfied
and rebellious laborers might be driven back
under the yoke of slavery. Will this end be
accomplished? Has not a miscalculation
been made? The next few days will answer
this question. We will not speculate on the
course of events.
The paper then goes OH to give detailed
report of the trouble and puts the response
blity entirely on the police. Spies also
says that some Bohemians and Poles in the
background OF the crowd he was address
ing raised the cry. ION to McCormick's'
yesterday used their clubs in dispensing the
procession of striking girls, and adds:

WISE IMAM tney intended TO. Inc
predictions of the supporters of George
Refs that he would be elected by round
majority We're verified. and it was generally
agreed that the labor organizations held to
their principles and the action of a late
meeting in not supporting. as body, any
candidate. Maj. Ncwson, the Republican
candidate, visited several polling places
during the afternoon, and was quite hope
full of results. Treasurer Refs was appar-
emily little distured over the results. For
associate municipal judge Frank Ford fell
somewhat short of the head of his ticket
but still was safely landed on the bench by
good majority. The scattering wite was
light everywhere. the recognized and
avowed candidates taking them all. There
was general feeling apparent, even before
the polls closed, that Mr.. Refs would be
elected. and the bets were decidedly in his
favor, though now and then an individual
was to be found who was sangulne
enough to but on the major.

Wisconsin State Militia Guarding
milwaukee,.

MILWAUKEE, May 4.-Gathered in the
Polish section of the city early this morn
ing were about 800 Polish laborers, all
armed with sticks, stones and clubs. Many
of the faces were recognizable as having
been in the mob that attempted to storm the
Allis works on Monday, and others of the
men were among those forced out of the
West Milwaukee shops, 1t was learned
that their program was to storm the Allis
works and force the employees to join their
strike, and then move through the Kinnic-
kinnic valley upen all establishments not
infercing the elght-heor system, con-
Guiding with the North Chicago rolliag

and Mr.. Refs still holds his office.
There was considerable interest
manifested as to the result.
When the polls had been closed on crowds
larger than had been at the polling places
gathered about the bulletin boards, eager
for the results. Below is given the vote
for the two city offices in each of the thirty
six election districts of the city, Mr.. Refs

Wagon Loads of Ice.

Special to the Globe.
FoRT WORTH, Tex, May 4.-Verified
reports reached here to-day of an immense
hailstorm i'll Northwest Texas, at a place
on Rock creek, twelve miles from here.
The ice is two feet thick. Loads of ice are
being hauled into Whit. a small town on
Rock creek. Everything in that part of
that country represents winter. The
trees are entirely leafless and
all vegetation is beaten into
the earth. Such storm has never been
known in West Texas before. In the
northern part of Palo. Pints county, hail
stones were found larger than goose egg,
which broke through the roofs in nearly
every house where it struck, even beating
through the roofs of residences and tearing
barn covers all to pieces. There was no
wind at all with the hail. The season in
West Texas this year is the most backward
ever known here.

Arms seized.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Late this afternoon
the police raided the hall in the same build
ing occupied by the lumber exchange and
captured there some 100 muskets, which they
took to the police station. 1t seems the
hall had been occupied as a drill room by a
company of Zuaves, which was
chiefly made up of foreigners. 1t is stated
that the few Americans in REORGANIZATION
withdrew yesterday on account of the So
cialistic views of the others, and it is sup
posed that the latter contemplated some
movement which came to the knowledge of
the police, and induced them to make the
raid. No information concerning the
seizure can be obtained at police headquar-
tiers and nothing is positively known be-
yond the fact that the arms were seized.

THIRD DISTRICT ,
Fifth Ward.

In the First district there was three
cornered fight between Croonquist. Kenney
and Van Slyke, the latter running indie
pendently, ard so close was the contest
that it was impossible to gather anything
like correct idea of who would be the
winner during the afternoon. Aid Van
Slike made a desperate struggle, and his
friends stood firmly by him. He had car
riages bringing voters to the polls, and
Kenney did the same. realizing that his
success depended on his ruStlng. Groom
quist relied on the work of his friends. and
succeeded in defeating himself by taking
things so easily. The vote was very close,
however. and UP to the amnute that the
result was declared it was the general i'm
preston that Croonquist was elected. The
following table shows the result.

ported that Mr.. Robbins was elected. The
friends of Mr.. Long who were at the polls
were naturally indignant at such wholesale
bringing in of voters on the part of the
friends of Mr.. Robbins. and there
was plain talk of contesting the
election, asking. an investigation into the
conduct of the persons responsible, and
strong effort will be made to give MI. Long
his rightful seat in the council"
Frank Ford, who was elected associate
municipal judge. ran behind Refs, which is
explained in the fact that Mr.. Ford made
but very little effort to win He was con-
tident that his friends would pull him
through, and they did in handsome style.
