RIOTING AT MILWAUKEE.  ARREST OF TWENTY-FIVE PRINTERS.  A telegram from New York, on Wednesday, says :—Fearful fighting is reported from Chicago A Socialist meeting was held last night at which violent incendiary epeeches were delivered. The police thereupon ordered the meeting to disperse, but the Socialists held their ground and threw bombs among the police killing ten and wounding twenty. The police opened fire, which the mob returned, and fierce fighting ensued, the Socialists finally retiring carrying of the dead and wounded. It is believed that 60 Socialists were shot. Renewed fighting is apprehended. A Central News telegram from New York, _ _ .  on Wednesday night, says :—The police revisited the office of Arberter Zeelung, at Chic.., I ago, this afternoon, and seized some copies of inflammatory circulars, fall of sanguinary sentiments. They also took possession of the dynamite, dirke, pistols, and red flags. They subsequently visited the gunshop, supposed to be owned by Parsons, who is suspected of I throwing a bomb last evening, and who is still missing. Among the persona who have been arrested are twenty-five printers of Arbeter Zeelung's office. The Mayor of Chicago and Mr. Rarrieon is to blame for refusing to call out the militia which was in the armories ready for action. Twelve thousand dollars have been handed over by the Board of Trade for the relief of the families of the policemen killed or wounded. Rioting was retinved at Milwaukee in the afternoon, and the militia fired upon the crowd, but no lives were lost. Most, the editor of the Freiheit, is still hiding from the NEW York police. Schenck, his lieutenant, was admitted to bail to-day." Thursday's Birmingham Daily Post says "lice end will probably not be reached without further violence; but there need be no apprehension as to the ultimate issue. The American people will stand a great deal in the name of freedom; but they draw the line at murder and anarchy, and if, as it would seem, the votaries of the eight-hours movement rely upon those weapons for the triumph of their cause they ci find themselves wofully mistaken. At any &Lc:Like law and order must be restored in Chicsiro, and that sacrifioe we may be sure the Emcutivs of the Republic will not shrink from."  A Central News telegram from Chicago, on Thursday, states that the city has been guietthroughout the Wednesday . Much apprehen mon prevaihi. The man who threw the first bomb among the police is stated to be a well known Socialist agitator, named Parsons. He has not yet been arrested. A later telegram says that Wednesday night has passed without actual riot. The police have been indefatigable in dispersing the mobs. One rough, who &alined to move on, shot the policeman. The officer returned the the hitting the assailant; both the men will die. Three incendiary fires broke out during the night, but were promptly extinguished. The Socialists had formed a plan of burning the city. A telegram from New York on Thursday says: Herr Most, in an interview with the Herald representative, boasted that he caused the Chicago outbreak.
