A Serious Affair,

CHICAGO, May 4-The most serious af-
fair of the strike so far lgrew out of a So
cialist mass meeting, held in the old
Haymarket on Randolph street tonight. 1t
is located in region populated by Ger
mans and Poles. The speaking began at 9
o'clock, the first speaker being August
Spies, who make the usual harrange de-
nouncing capital Other speakers fol-
lowed. About 200 officers had been de-
tailed to attend the meeting, and had been
in the vicinity since the socialists had be-
gun to assemble. The crowd had now
dwindled down to less than 1000 persons.
The utterances of the speakers were of the
most inflammatory character, however, and
the hearers who still remained grew riot
GUS in their demeanor. The police con-
cluded to put an end to the disturbance,
and advancing ordered the crowd to dis
perse. At first the socialists fell back
slowly, and one of the speakers was still
urging them to stand firm. Suddenly three
bombs were thrown from near the stand
into the midst of the squad of officers, and
as they exploded five officers fell. Others
were seriously wounded, and several of the
socialists did not escape. The police re-
torted instantly with volley from their
revolvers. The rioters answered with
theirs, and the sequel showed that they
were we'll provided with them. The mob
appeared crazed with frantic desire for
blood, and poured volley after volley into
the midst of the officers. The latter fought
gallantly, and at last dispersed the mob
and cleared the market place. They are
now guarding every approach to the place,
and no one is allowed to come near there.
Immediately after the first explosion the
officers who were left standing drew their
revolvers and fired round after round into
the mob. Large numbers of these fell, and
as they dropped they were Immediately
carried to the rear and into many dark al
leyways by their friends.
The list of casulties is as follows: One
socialist dead; two officers dead; four other
officers who may not survive till morning
and thirty more police who have wounds
many Of the most serious character.
In addition to this probably fifty people
nearly all members of the socialist crowd
or citizens of the vicinity, were shot or 9TH
erwise wounded.

New YORK, May 6.-The Anarchist here
says: The Chicago fight is simply the first
gun in the revolution. Our brothers there
did nobly, but they were not as well pre-
pared as they might have been, or more of
the blue coats would have got their last
dose. Our motto is Neither God nor Mas
ter" and our doctrine may be simply
stated as "D0wn with church, state, capital.

TUESDAYS RIOT,
Almost an Entire Cessation of Business
in Chicago.

Almost an Entire Cessation of Business
in Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 5.-The indignation and
concern of the general public respecting
the atrocious occurrence of last night has
been in no wise lessened as the day has
passed. The prompt action of the authori-
ties in arresting three of the chief conspir-
ators. and accumulating evidence which it
is now believed will fix the great crime
upon them, has called forth unstinted
praise. Ordinary places Of business are
open, but there is almost an entire cessa-
ton of all ordinary transactions. The
mayor has just issued a proclamation pro-
hibiting street crowds and professions. OF
the policemen hit with pieces of bursting
bombs and bullets, Officers John Deagan
and Nicholas Shannon are dead. The fol-
lowing officers are believed to be fatally
wounded, but were still alive at 7 p. m.:
Jacob Hanson, Nelson Hanson, John Bar
rett and George Miller. This afternoon
Detectives Bonfield and Wiley made an
other search OF the Arbeiter Zeitung prem
ises, and were rewarded by the discovery
of great lot of ammunition, suitable for
Winchester rifles, shot guns and revolvers
and several fuses for bombs. "There

The Cause of the Riots.

LONDON, May 6.-The Pail Mall Gazette,
commenting on the anarchists riots at Chi.

having adopted the system of exporting
paupers to the United States, is primarily
answerable for the troubles, and secondly,
that America has shown fatal kindness
in receiving these paupers, and is now
reaping the results OF her folly in trying to
make American citizens out Of the scum of

HURON, OAK, May 5.-A letter has been
received from Chairman Hill, of the house

The State Makers,

SIOUX FALLS, May 5-The number of
delegates to the constitutional convention
was largely increased this morning. July
lS, 1886 was fixed for holding the next ses-
sion and it was resolved that if congress
does not take action meanwhile, this con-
vention will then act in view of such con-
gressiOnal non action. The afternoon was
consumed in debate on the following:
Resolved, That we recommend that if
congress shall adjourn without action upon
the claims of Dakota for division and ad-
mission or division, the constitutional con-
vention should reassemble and submit to
the people at the November election the
question of the repeal Of section 80 of the
schedule and ordinance of the constitu-
ton.
This section provides that nothing in the
constitution shall be construed to authorize
the Legislature or judiciary or executive de-
partments to exercise any powers until
recognized and authorized by an act of con-
gress. Some of the more conservative
feared this might be considered revolution
ary, but as the matter must be submitted to
vote of the people at the general election,
the resolution was finally adopted, and be-
ing presented to the convention in the eve
ming, was placed on the table and further
consideration postponed until July 18th.
During the day protest was sent to Dele
gate O. S. Clifford, at Washington, protest
ing against the passage of any law for the
admission of Dakota, which does not in
clude division east and west. A resolution
was also adopted urging the election this
fall of legislature and county officers.

The Christmas Gift mine in California
is one Of the most singular instances on
record of IL man being struck with a for
tune when least expecting a windfall. A
Mr.. Snow was out on n deer hunt with a
party from san Francisco. They were re-
turning home, when Snow was suddenly
missed by the others. Shows horse had
slipped oil n bluif, and down went horse,
rider, and rifle at an angle OF - degrees,
rolling over and over in the snow, and
finally bringing up against a mass of stone
standing up out OF the snow, its top coy
cred with moss. He was not hurt, as the
cold, soft cushion had saved his bones
from the hard ground beneath. S%crambling
up against the rock, he noticed that it was
a quartz lode, and that where the horse
had accidentally kicked of the moss some
thing glittered. His eyes bulged out, but
he did not stop to brush them off-his
hands were too busy clawing of the moss.
The few specimens he broke off were filled
with pure ore; one small piece being at
least three fourths gold. Upon investiga
tion tons of ore were found exceedingly
rich, and the mine became one Of the most
noted IN the Pacific slope.-Globe Demo
