ENOUGH YESTERDAY.

CHICAGO, May 6--The situation here
has been more quiet to-day, and the day
has been largely occupied with inquests
upon the bodies of the killed in the fights
of yesterday. Although conquered, the
anarchists are not subdued. Their
spirits are still as rebellous as ever.
Officer Barrett died to day making three
deaths to date among the injured police
men. Detectives Inspected house No S22,
Henry street to-day, and found 80 rounds
of ammunition, two rifles, and Il sword,
bayOnet, revolver, billy and a quantity of
anarchist literature. The occupant of
the house, Gustave Strange is said by the
officers to he molder of bombs He was
arrested. The police made another raid
this afternoon at II West Lake street,
Selling many red flags and banners, some
of them embazOned with the most rabid
threats against the authorities.
Two Fire Alarms.
At 1850 p. m. two alarms of fire were
turned in simultaneously, one alarm from
Ashland avenue bridge, in the lumber
district, the other from the centre of the
city's lowest quarter If incendiary fires
were to he started by the anarchists it
would be difficult to choose two other 10
cations from which equally disastrous
ConflagratlUnS could spread.
The coroner held an inquest this after
noon on the body of Charles kester who
was killed in Yesterdays riot. 1t was
supposed he was shot by the police. Two
witnesses were examined and then it was
discovered that instead of being shot the
man had been stabbed. 1t is now thought
he was killed by an anarchist as the evil
dence disclosed the fact that keSter was IL
respectable citizen aud not rioter. The
coroner ordered the inquest adjourned
and the body was taken to kesters home
AT l2:Oj Il. m. the bells announced that
the fire at state and Harrison streets was
out and at l221 that that near Ashland
avenue was also out. No reports we
been received ut police headquarters rs to
whether they were of incendiary origin.
At late hour reports from the scene of
the trouble in Lake say all is
quiet, but no freight is being moved.
Joseph Michellski, Il socialist, was found
by the police tonight wounded in the leg
at the shooting Tuesday. He is a Rus
sian Pole and has been in this country
but eight months. His reasons for beng
al the anarchists meeting where he was
wounded, were that he was trying to learn
the English language.
