er to be either retreat or strategic
march by Lee to new ground, or to be a
threatened flank attack. Either would
have been accompanied by the same
tactical symptoms which now appeared.
If the former, Hooker had his option to
attack at an early or late period, more or
less vigorously, as might appear best to
him. Hooker afterward claimed that be
believed in the flank attack. But the
testimony of his dispatches at the time
finds him riding both horses, and he
acted on the retreat theory. At $50 a.
m. he had notified Slocum and Howard
to look out and prepare for a flank
attack, and to post heavy reserves to
meet one. He telegraphed Sedgwick at
4.1O p. m.: "We know that the enemy
is flying, trying to save his trains." In
the meantime he had removed the heavy
reserves in question and sent them out on
Sickles's wild goose chase to the front.
He made no inspection of the right
except one early in the morning.
Howard, commanding on the right,
misled by Hooker's orders and apathy,
held the retreat theory. He had, on the
receipt of the $50 order, disposed Bar
lows brigade and his reserve artillery SO
as to resist an attack along the pike, but
Harlow had been ordered by Hooker to
join Sickles. Gen. Devens made several
distinct attempts to impress on Howard
the danger of an attack, but the latter
took his color, as we'll as his orders, from
the commander of the army. Gen. Carl
Schurz, under whom I served that day,
also held strongly to the flank attack
theory, and scores Of men in the 18th

NEW YORK, May 6.-Among the laboring men
as to the rioting and bloodshed in Chicago, and
that is emphatic condemnation of the
action of the Anarchist leaders The
Anarchists are not strong in the vi
cinity of New York. There are about eight
groups of them in this neighborhood, and alto
gether they number but few more than 1000.
Six of these groups are in New York city,
one in Jersey City and one in Newark.
They have rifle corps, consisting of
three companies, which meet for drill about
once week. The Anarchists are not united
now, Johann Most and Justus Schwab lead
ing two factions These factions now hate each
other worse than they 90 the common enemy
With these peope the honest workmen have no
sympathy. The police know their places of
meeting and keep a sharp watch them. An
Anarchist who is n member of group No. said:
II don't know that the public has any right to
and better organized than people have any idea
of. We have college in New Jersey where the
members are taught how to use dynamite and
Greek fire. We have rifle corps organized. not
to provoke fight. but to be able to COPE success
fully with the police and militia when the strug-
gle which is bound to come is on US. The Chi
cago fight is simply the first gun in the revolu-
tion Our brothers there did nobly, but they
were not as well prepared as they might have
been, or more of the blue coats would have got
their last dose. Our motto is Neither God nor
MASTER and our doctrine may be simply stated
as down with church, State, capital, Knights of
Labor, and other kindred yillainies."

LONDON. May 6-The Pail Mall Gazette. COM
menting on the Anarchist riots in Chicago. says
that Europe, having adopted system of export
ing paupers to the United States, is primarily
answerabe for the troubles; and, secondly, that
America has shown mistaken kindness in re-
ceiving these paupers, and is now reaping the
results of her folly in trying to make American
citizens out of the scum of Europe.
The ST. James's Gazette lauds the promptness
of the Americans in discussing practical social
ism at the point of the bayonet and with voleys
of musketry, thus ignoring the aphorism that
"force is no remedy" The paper adds the ex-
preston of trust that the American Republic
will now restrict free trade in murderous explo-
sives.
The Globe pronounces the riots the latest
ebullition of the Sociastic wave which passed
over London and Belgium. 1t thinks that the
vigorous action of the New York authorities in
connection with strikes and boycotting is assur-
ance that the Americans will treat tho other
accursed exotic at Chicago with equal rigor

Everything Quiet and the Troops stu on
Duty-Polish Leaders Warned.
MILWAUKEE, May 6-All is quiet in the city
this morning. Troops continue to guard the
threatened establishments at Bay View and the
South Side. No riotous assemblies have been
reported thus far this morning The trouble is
believed to be over
At this hour-11 A. M.-there is further
evidence that the riotous proceedings of
yesterday and Tuesday are not to be
renewed. The arrest of Drottgau, the Socialist
ic leader and several of his followers has had
an excellent effect uson that troublesome class.
The district attorney has made a formal request.
which was granted for the call of grand jury,
before WHOM the Socialists will be prosecuted.
AT 10 e'cIQck crowd of several hundred strik-
ers were Assembling near the western limit of
the city, but word has just been received that
the appearance of police scattered them In every
direction.
The arrest of Socialists who have been instru-
mental in urging on the riots has been continued
this afternoon. In the houses of two of these
were found number of guns, pistols, and
large amount of ammunition concealed in bed
ding Governor Rusk has informed Drudnski
that he will be held responsible for any trouble
which may hereafter arise from the doings of
Polanders who have been prompted to the act
by Drudinski's advice.
To night, the situation as regards the labor
riots remains as during the day, with every indi-
cation that all trouble has come to an end. Two
more deaths. making six in all, have occurred
from wounds received in Yesterdays fusillade at
Bay View j. Mafseka ana I. Frank Nowatseka,
died to-day, both having received wounds in the
abdomen. Martin Jahnawiaka and Albert Erd-
man are in critical condition, and the physi-
clans have but little hope of their recovery.
The arrest Of several Socialists has been effected
tonight and quantity of ammunition, guns,
pistols, etc, found in their residences has been
confScated.

He Is Also a Texas Man.

Houston Special.
The Anarchist, Parsons, is native of Texas,
being no less person than the eldest son of
Gen. w. II. Parsons, of confederate fame, the
dashing commander of Parsons Texas brigade.
The prisoner has an eventful history, which is
enveloped in good deal of mystery. His old
acquantances are at loss to explain how the
son of one of the most brilliant men ever pro-
duced by Texas should be found associating and
conspiring with Anarchists and cutthroats. Gen.
w. H. Parsons, father of the Chicago Anarchist
resided in this city for number of years after the
war. In his nalmy days he was regarded as the
most eloquenG orator in the State, while his rec
ord as an heroic general of the South commanded
the admiration of everyone. He came out of
the war very poor with two sons depending on
him. For couple years he edited the Daily
Tele graph, of this city, the first daily paper
in Houston. In the dying years of the era of
reconstruction he abandoned the Democratic
party and advocated the election of r. j. Davis
for Governor. For this apostasy he was exc
Grated by his former admirers. He accepted
senatorial nomination from this district in 1872
and was elected by negro votes on the same
ticket that elected Davis Governor During
these exciting times the General spoke and wrote
with vehement eloquence, and his eldest son. the
present Anarchist, frequently contributed to the
columns of his fathers paper. The son accom-
panied the father to Austin. and was appointed
reading clerk of the Texas Senate. The twelfth
Legislature is known in State history as the
most corrupt body ever vested with legislative
authority, and Senator Parsons is VIGOROUSLY
credited with having closed bis term worth $40,
600, obtained from Tom Scott and the Texas Pa
cific syndicate. With his ill-gotten wealth the
General left Texas and took up his residence in
New York, whore he is supposed to be still liv-
ing. The Anarchist son followed his father
East. If Anarchist Parsons inherts the intel
lectual gifts of his brilliant father he is certainly
dangerous man.

While In this city he conided to the author of
this information, important plans and purposes
of the Socialists in various localities some of
which have been verified. He exhibited speci-
mems OF explosives and bombs similar to those
disc overed by Chicago detectives in the Office of

He asserted that the bombs used by the Social

factured in Pittsburg-yolunteering the informa-
tion that on Sundays. in favorable weather,
platoons of local Socialists visited unfrequented
places. adjacent to this city, where they prac-

The author of the above statement was for a
time in Parsonss employ as ''press agent" for
this vicinity, and performed other services for
his employer 1t is stated that Parson is about
to issue treatise on the subject of bombs.

copy was pasted to the door of the Central police
station. while others were tackled up on church

are five hundred Socialists here, and all are said
to be in state of fermentation.
