CHICAGO, May THE gifts to the fund
for the benefit of the wounded policemen,
and the families of those killed in Tuesday
nights riot in Chicago have reached $32,-
coo. The police have discovered more dyna-
mite material, but refuse to say where it was
found, as they have hopes of discovering the
manufacturer One bomb was formed Of
lead. 1t was about four inches in diameter,
and as round as an orange. The shell is cast
in two pieces, and the two cups are fasten-
ed together by an iron bolt running through
them, and fastened at the top by a nut, just
like one found in hole, where it is sup
posed to have been thrown by the bomb on
Des PLANES street. The bomb is filled with
explosives and some iron bullets. In the
shell near the nut hole one-eighth of an
inch in diameter had been drilled, and in
this fuse was found. The entire bomb
fastened together, weighs between 10 and u
ounces. In another place were found two
pieces Of gas pipe, each about eight inches
IN length. One is about an inch, and the
other an inch and a half in diameter. The
bottom of the pipe is filled with lead cast in
clay. The top, in which the fuse is placed,
is made of a block of wood. 1t is intimated
that the men who made those bombs know
who made the one fired on Tuesday night.
All the officers now believe that the firing
OF the bomb on Tuesday night was a little
premature, and that the vile schemers mis-
calculated their power. If they had rested
quietly for time, the result would have
been much worse for the city.
Paul Smith, one of the coroner's jury in
the inquest on the body Of Officer Degan, is
much agitated on account of mysterious
threats made against him by Anarchistic
friends of Spies. In conversation last eve

The Arbeiter Zeitung makes it appearance
again this morning, though in a very reduced
form. The old paper was large, prosper
Gus looking folio sheet, while to-day's issue
is 10x12 handbill The leading article to-
day is addressed to the workingmen of Chi
cago, and after relating the difficulties they
had in publishing the paper owing to the
81
article says:
''These twenty-five printers were arrested
on the ridiculous charge of murder-people
who did nothing but their work, and for
which they were paid. Bail was refused for
them. On all sides there was systematic

party. We therefore appeal to you, work
ingmen. You will see that workingmen's
movement without an organ is impossible.
We shall continue the fight for freedom and
right that this paper has always conducted.
Forward! and unhesitatingly forward, in
spite OF the chicanery, do your duty; we
will do ours"
which indirectly charges that the dynamite
which the police found in the building was
brought there by the officers themselves.
They say: After the police had arrested
the editors they carefully searched the
building but found nothing A short time
nected with the paper and behold they. also
found dynamite. They are also said to have
found a revolver and an old file. Indeed
dreadful and this find is said to prove that

The writer then goes on to say that the
whole thing is conspiracy to suppress the
paper forever. In a conspicuous part of the
handful is printed the comments of the
New York Volks Zeitung on the arrest of
Schenck and Braunschweig in that city.
The rumor is in circulation this evening
that A. r. Parsons, the Anarchist associate
OF Spies and Field in the horrible massacre
Tuesday night, has been captured in the
southwestern portion of the city,
The city assumed its normal condition to-
day as far as quiet was involved. There
were no gatherings for the police to dis
perse although their watchfulness was not
trlct was absolutely peaceful, no large as
semblages being seen. The police continued
to prosecute with energy their search of the
haunts of Anarchists, and in some cases pro-
duced few more guns and explosive mate

Officer Joseph Dugan, killed in Tuesdays
riot, was buried today in st. Boniface Gem
etery. Only small detail of police attended
the service owing to the requirements of
their presence in other portions of the city.
Officer Flayln's leg was amputated today.
This was the only hope of saving his life.
Anarchists in Pittsburg..
PITTsBURG, Pa, May S.-Considerable ex-
citement was occasioned in the lower wards
day by the distribution of anarchiStic circu-
lars In large numbers. The circulars were
printed in German and English and urged
the workingmen to revenge the killing of
McCormack's S men and to turn, pillage, wreck
and destroy and eat, drink and be merry.
The circulars were distributed so cleverly
that no suspicion of their character was en-
teatained until thousands of copies had been
given out. In this city there are seven
groups of Anarchists with total member
ship of not more than $50.
