The Chicago Crisis.


.ng atrocious occurrence of last night
have been nowise lessened as the day
passed. Tie prompt action of the au-
thorities In arrestiRg three of the chief
ccnspirators and accommodating evi-
dence which it Is believed will fix great
crime upon them, called forth I'M
stinted praise. All ordinary places OF
business are open, but there is almost
an entire cessation of all ordinary
transactions; business men are dis
cussing the event in all its various
aspects. The Mayor has been assured
bT all classes of citizens OF their desire
10 aid him IN every possible way.
Hon. Z. b. Washburne, ex-minister
to France, remarked to-day that he had
not known during the carnage enacted
BIZ the Commune in Paris so utterly a
cowardly and atrocious murder as that
of last night. If there Is any law to
reach the perpetrators and instigators
OF the affair, il Is now positive that GER
tain deaths awaits them.
Mayor Harrison, this afternoon. after
consulting with his department officers,
published the following proclamation
To the People Of Chicago:
Whereas. Great excitement exists
among the people OF this good city ,,
growing out OF the labor troubles, which
excitement is intensified by the open
defiance of the guardians OF the peace
BY body of lawless men, under the
pretense of aiding the laboring man
really endeavorins to destroy all law
snc.
Whereas, Last night these men, by the
use Of weapons never resorted to in civ
ilized lands. except in times of war or
t0r evolutionary purposes, caused great
biOOdshed among the citizens and Off
GERS Of the municipality, who were
simply IN the performance of their
duties; and,
Whereas, The city authorities propose
70 protect life and property at all haz
ards, enc in doing so will be compelled
70 break up all unlawful or dangerous
gatherings; and.
Whereas, Even when men propose to
meet for lawful purposes, bad men will
attempt to mingle with them, armed
with coWardly missiles for the purpose OF
bringing about bloodshed, thus en-
dangering innocent persons; therefore.
I. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor OF
Chicago, do hereby proclaim that
gatherings of people in crowds or pro-
cessions on the streets and in public
places of the city are dangerous and
cannot be permitted, and orders have
been issued to prevent all such
gatherings and to break up and
Gisperse al crowds. To prevent in
Jury TO innocent persons, l urge AL
-aW-abiding people 10 quietly attend to
their own affairs. and not meet in
crowds. II the police order an gath
srings 10 disperse. and they be not
obeyed, all persons so disobeying will be
treated as law defiers and will surely
incur the penalty of their disobedi-
ence. 1 further assure the good people
Of Chicago that ] believe the police can
protect their lives and property and the
good name of Chicago and will do so.
