The City Government ManifestIy Weak.

MILWAUKEE, May 5.-Keepers d Riddell,
the bridge builders, shut down their works
at 10 O'Clock this morning. The men
were well satisfied and all at work, but a
committee of strikers called at the place
and threatened to come back with
crowd in two hours and clean it out. il
work was not stopped. Having reason
to believe, from the experience of Allis
d Co.. that they could have no
protection from the city govern
ment headed by Mayor Wallber, if
they attempted to continue quietly at
work, the proprietors determined To shut
down until the situation becomes more
settled. Mr. Keepers made a brief speech
to his men, indicating the decision which
had been arrived at, and the men approx
ed its wisdom and went home.
The Blatz, Schlitz and Jung h Borchert
breweries have succumbed to the terms of
the strikers and are in full operation to-
day. The three establishments employ
about 500 men, collectively.

An lnccndiary Harangue by German So
cialiSt.

CHICAGO, May 5.-The Arbeiter Zietung
a german paper, edited by Mr.. Spies, a
socialist, who was one of the speakers
who melted yesterdays riot at McCorm-
ick's announces this p. m., that a great
meeting of the people will be held to-
night and whoever condemns the horrible
brutality of yesterday must be there"
The paper further said workingmen!
The hated police of yesterday
murdered four of your brothers and then
wounded perhaps twenty-five more at
McCOrmick's factory. Had your brothers
who had nothing but stones to defend
themselves with, been armed with good
weapons and few dynamite bombs, none
of them murderers would have escaped.
As 1t was, only four of them (the police
mem were wounded. This is sad. Yes
| terday's massacre occurred thai the 10000
strikers in this city might be filled with
fear and terror and that the dissatisfied
and rebellious laborers might be driven
under the yoke of slavery. Will this end
be accomplished? Has not miscalcula-
| tion been made? The next few days will
answer this question. We will not specu-
| late on the cOvrse of events.
The paper then goes on to give de
tailed account of the trouble and puts the
responsibility entirely on the police.
| Spies also says that some Bohemians and
| Poles in the backgroung of the crowd he
was addressing raised the cry, "On to
| McCormick's." The same paper also says
| the police, yesterday, used their clubs in
dispensing the procession of striking
| girls, and adds: "In whose viens does
not the blood course foster when he hears
! of this shameful act of these beasts
| Whoever is a man must show it these days
| Men, to the 'front.'

THE GOULD SYSTEM STRIKE.
The Strike is Declared Off and the Men Report
for Duty.

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-Martin Irons by
whom the Gould southwestern strike was
ordered when asked what effect he antic1-
pated the proposed method of ending the
trouble would have upon the knights of
Labor, said: 1--WE were fighting for
recognition and we got it from congress.
Is not that complete enough recognition:
Our order will grow after this even more
rapidly than during the past few weeks
when applications have been so numerous
for charters that We could scarcely find
tins to consider them. An order has been
sent to the master workman of each local
assembly informing them that the strike
has been declared off, and ordering them
TO notify their men to make applications
for work to-day. The order applies to all
knights employed in East ST. Louis,
and this morning at O'Clock the time
the day force of switchmen and freight
handlers, etc, go to work, large number
applied for positions at the various com
panies and many were Immediately
placed on the pay rolls A few were rec
ognized as those who committed depreda-
tions upon the companies property and
were denied employment. The striking
employees of the Missouri car foundry
company were ordered to return 70 work
this morning and those who had been in
the strike and applied for their old po-
sisions we're taken back without exception.
1t is expected the militia viii be with
drawn tonight or tomorrow.

4 VETO MESSAGE.
The President yetoes the Omaha Port of
Entry Bill.

The President Netoes the Omaha Port of
Entry Bill
WASHINGTON, May 4-The president has
vetoed the bill to make Omaha port of
entry. In the message the president
gives as his reasons for declining to APP
prove the bill, that Omaha was named in
the act of June 10, 1880, as one of the
places to which imported merchandise
might be Immediately shipped after
entry at the port of arrival; the proviso
of that act declared its provisions
should not extend to any places at which
there are not the necessary officers for the
appraisement of merchandise and the
collection of duties, and the privilege was
with irawn by the treasury department
because there were not any such officers
there, and if the legislation propos-
ed sheuld become operative, the privilege
would still be subject to the proviso at
tached to the law of 1850. and such newly
granted privileges would be liable to i'm
mediate withdrawal by the secretary of
treasury. He cannot see, therefore,
he says, that anything Is
gained by this legislation. If
the circumstances should warrant such
course, he says the authenticity which
withholds such privileges can confer the
same without the aid of a new statute
| This proposition Is sustained by the
opinion of the attorney general, dated
February 1885,
l. the design of the bill the president
says, Is to restore to the city named the
| privileges permitted by the law of 1880 i,
I seems to be entirely unnecessary since the
/ power of such restoration is now fully
vested in the treasury department. If
/ the object sought Is to bestow such
| privileges entirely free from the
/ operation of the proviso the
| language of the bill does not accomplish
| the result. The government has not now
\ at Omaha the necessary officers for the
| appraisement of merchandise and the
/ collection of duties, which by such a
! proviso are necessary in order 10 secure
to any place the advantages of an i'm
mediate transportation. In the absence
of such officers the proposed legislation
would be nugatory and imperative
