Scheme.
Mr. Glndstono was heartily cheered ns ho
nroscin tho house of coiiiiiioiih on tlio 10th
to move n pecond rending of tho homo rulo
hill. Ho wild he did not intend to nsk the
liouao to continue tho dobnto of tlio hill
from day to day. Mr. Gladstone's voico
nt tho bcgini.lng wns f colli o and nmrrcd by
hoarseness, hut iih ho proceeded it cleared,
and toward tho closo of his rcmnrks ho
Bccincd to luivo regnlned all Iiih old-time
vigor and effectiveness. llodcslrcd, hosnid,
In opening to make a statement in regard
to hi personal position. IIo had novor at
nny period described Jionto rulo ns incom
pntihlo with imperial unity. Cries of "01'
"0 1" Tlio contradiction caino from Homo
luciuhcrH of parliament who had visited
Midlothian, milking speeches which woro
full of totally untrtio assertions. Ilonowed
cries of "01 01" In 1871 ho expressed
tho great satisfaction with which ho hnd
heard statements of supportors of tho homo
rulo movement, iih theso statements con
tcmplntcd nothing leading to soveninco of
tlio empire. rChccrs from Purnollites.l Two
questions had always preHcnted themselves
to Inn mind regarding homo rule. i-irstiy,
it must ho shown to ho desired hy tho muss
of the noiitiliition ol Ireland, secondly,
wns home rulo computililo with tlio
unity of tho empire? These questions hnd
hcen niiHwerod hy Pnrnell, who declared
that what tho people of Ireland fought for
was simply nn autonomy. Alternate,
coercive, and reform measures had been
tried in tho government of Ireland and
havo emiallv failed. Tho inediclno of
coercion had especially boon tho mndicluo
continually npplicd in increasing doses
with diminishing results.
Mr. aindstono reviewed tlio history of
the past as proving that only a thorough
measure having tho effect of satisfying Iro
land was now fensihlo. In regard to tho
idea of the autonomy of Ireland being n
nieuaco to tho unity of tho empire, ho re
minded tho house that tho same argument
was used against granting independence to
Canada when it wns determined to concetto
homo rule to that part of tho Itritish tin
minions. The positions of Canada and
Ireland, though they aro not parallel, ho
wild, uro analogous. Canada was in pre
cisely thn sumo temper that is attributed
to Ireland, bernnso sho wns loyal anil
friendly. Slio wns now loyal anil friendly
because sho got homo rule, l-l saw," saitl
Mr. Gladstone, "in parliament when tlio
people of Canada wero denounced
ns rebels. Somo of them wero
Protestants of English anil Fcotcli births,
but tlio majority of them wero Catho
lics of French extraction. Wiih tho cry
against them raised because they wero
Cutholles of French descent? No, sir. Tlio
Kngl'sh people in Upper Canada did pre
cisely tho same thing that tlio P'ronch Cana
dians did. They rebelled. Tho Canadian
rebels wero suppressed, but nt the moment
of military victory political dilllcnlly be
gan and tho victors wero vanquished. If
wo woro tho military victors, tlio Cauntliuns
wero tho victors m the Held of reason."
Hero Mr. Gladstone referred to the sig
nificant expression of opinions which hnd
enttto across tho Atlantic proving tlio vital
principles of the bill cheers, and asked
tho geulleiuon who appeared to think tlio
manifestations of opinion from A uerlca
were worthless if they would tin vo considered
tlioin worthless had theso mnuirestations
condemned tho 1)111. History had shown iih
Unit in foreign affairs tho Irish people do
not stand in tlio sumo relation ns tho people
of F.ngnnd and Scotland. "Hour,"
"Hear," and cries of "No," "No."J is it a
wonder that in n country with woes so
great and whoso hopes havo so often boon
doomed to disappointment tlio mind of
the people should bo coullued to the posi
tion of tliolr own country? Au essential
principle to tho Irish people has become
tlio control of their own affairs.
In conclusion, Mr. Gladstone said: "Tlio
members of tho house of commons have be
fore them a great opportunity to closo a
Btrifo of 700 years. Aye, and of knitting
by bonds tinner and lilghur in character
tluiii beret oloro the hearts and affections
of tho Irish people, and cementing thonobla
fabric of tho llrltish nation." Loud and
long-continued cheering.

Washington special: Statesmen here,
from overy part of the country, predict
that tho labor difficulties havo not reached
their climax and that there Is something
nioro terrible to coiuo than has yet devel
oped. They largely bolievo that there will
lie much blood shed and destruction of
property before the trouble is over, because
they regard the demand for eight hours
work with ten hours pay ns unreasonable
and believe both sides are determined to
win. There are no indication of violence
here.

SIX OFI'ICEUS MUHDKItED 11 Y THE COMMUNISTS.
10:37 p.m. A report has just been ie
ccived that six policemen have been killed
in the Hay Market, where tho annrchists
nro holding a meeting. A mnn win wns
standing in tho crowd received a pistol ball
in ids thigh nnd has been brough t to tho
Central police station. Ho says that dur
ing tiio progress of a Bpeech by ono of the
socialists a squad of ofliccrs marched by
closo to tho speaker's stand. Somo ono
shouted, "Kill tho 1" Almost as
soon n tlio words had been uttered threo
bombs were thrown from near tho stand
into tho midst ot tho squad of officers.
They exploded instantly and five police
men fell. The others woro wounded and
Boverul ot the socinllslsdid not escape. An

coming in nnd they point to a much more
disiistrousuffray than was at first reported.
About two hundred officers hnd been de
tailed to attend the meeting nnd hnd been
in tho vicinity since tho socialists began to
nssomblo. At the timo of throwing tlio
bombs tho crowd hud dwindled to less than
a thousand. The utterances of tho speak
ers wore still of a most inllummntory ehnr
ucter, however, and tho hearers who still
remnined grow liotous in their doniennor.
The police concluded to put nn end to the
disturbance, nnd. advancing.
OIIDEUED THE CUOW 11 TO UISl'EIlSE.
At first the socialists fell back slowly, the
speakers still urging them to stand firm.
Suddenly bombs wero thrown. Tho polico
retorted instantly with a volley Irom their
revolvers. Tho rioters answered with
theirs, which tho sequel shows they were
well provided with. Tho mob nppeured
crazy witii a fanatic desire for blood, and,
holding its ground, poured volley after vol

HOW THE 11IOT STARTED.
Inspector llontlcld says concerning to
night s trouble in tho old Hay Market:
After lmrsons had concluded his speech
Sam Fioldlng, another notorious socialist,
mounted a wagon and began to address tho
crowd. His speech was of the most intlani
inatory description. He called ou tho men
to arm themselves nnd to assert their
rights. Ho finally becamo so violent that
word was sent to the station, which was
only a block distant, and Inspector Von
field, nt the head of twenty-five men,
marched to the placo ot the meeting. Ron
field called upon the crowd to disperse and
Meldini! shouted out to them irom me
wagon, "To Arms I" The otllcer once moro
enlled on their to disperse, when suddenly,
from behind the wagon, which was not
seven feet from the trout rank ot the police,
two bombs were thrown in between the
second and third rank ot men with tho ef
fect ns nlreudy stated. The second firing,
which w-as heard about nn hour ago. proved
to be nothing ot consequence. No one wns
hurt. On a table at tho station house,
whore the wounded polio'inon ure, n poor
fellow lies stretched out with a terrible
bullet wound iu his breast. A few feet dis

merce Again in Itlotlou.
CniCAOO, Iu., May 7. The trouble on For
tieth street crossing of the Western Indiana
railroad continued for a time this morning.
A number of trains were stopjxnl at that point,
the switch tenders and the crossing; guards
refusing to aid the roads In opening the lines.
Great crowds stood watching tho scene but
here was no disorder. About 10 o'clock,
however, the blockade was raised, Special Of
llcer Hallard of the Wabash railroad company
laving scut down fifty special olllcers nnd
MKin trained them to throw switches, thus
Parting tho trains.
WORK IIHINO ItCSUMED AGAIN.
The western railways are resuming opera
dons this morning on nearly the basis prior to
the strike. On 'all the roads freight trains
were sent out without molestation. In nil the
freight houses Increased forces were at work,
and the quantity of freight offered nnd handled
was very largely increased over that of any
former day.
Work was resumed at Armour's glue factory
this morning, thn 200 employes returning to
work on the old basis of ten hours' work for
ten hours' pa v.
Nearly the full complement of 1,400 men
were at the McCormick reaper works.
Five hundred brickmakers returned to the
vards at Lakevicw this morning and began
"work, but a crowd of 1500 strikers from the
city, many of them excited with liquor entered
the yards and drove them out,
SEEKING LEGAL 1'IIOTKCTION.
The Michigan Central railway may, unless
the trouble on Its lines materially abates, in
voke the federal court to enjoin the strikers
from committing depredations or Interfering
with Its men. The counsel for the road rcre
:losetcd with Judge Gresham to-day and a
onsultation wns held as to the feasibility of
llllncr a bill in the United states court, the rail
road being a non-resident corporation. Judge
Gresham told the lawyers to prepuir their bill
.ind come to him afterward. They determined
to do so. The suit will be bated ou sections
ot tlio federal laws governing interstate coin
nunlcatlon, common carriers and interference
wiih tho civil rights of American citizens.
NO MAHSHAI.S KOIl TL'TT.
T. E. Tutt, one of the receivers of the Wa
bash railroad, hastened to Chicago from St.
Louis to-dav when Judge Grcslniui's Hat or
l'hursduv became known and after looking the
ground over concluded not to press his request
for deputy marshals to protect the company's
Interests. Tills decision is thought to have
been hastened by Judge Greshain's statement
that if he ordered deputy marthals to take
charge ot the property lie w ould remove the
receivers.

Unnecessary Legislation.
Washington dispatch: A menilier of the
Pan Electric investigation committee. In uu
interviow concerning tho results ot the in
vestigation, says:
"So far wo havo found out nothing that
the public aro not already acquainted with.
"Those who look for rich developments
have been sadly disappointed. I am (lis
giihted with this business of investigating
nny member of tho house mny rise nud nsk
to have investigated. The proper course to
pursue iu all such matters is to have a pre
liminary investigation made by a standing
committee and iwpiire a prima facie case
to lie shown 1)0 1 ore raising a special com
mittee. Too much money is wasted on
causeless investigations bysiecial commit
tees, nnd I think that unless something
new developes that tlie verdict ot the pub
lic win be that the pim-eiectrle Investiga
tion was unnecessary and not worth the
sum that has been used ou account ol it."
NOW FOR A HANGING MATINEE.
No Question Hut Thnt Some or the
IllotoiiM liendcrn in Chicago Can be
Legally Strangled.
Caicaoo, May G. There hns been a de
cided improvement in tlie condition of
nffnirs iu Chicago during tho day, and pec
pie's apprehension of future troubles is
gradually being lessened. The cause of this
fee.V. is due, more than nnything else, te
tho determination nnd activity which has
been displayed by the city authorities since
Tucsdny's mnssacre by theannrchiets. The
prompt nction of the Conner's jury, ir
holding tho socialist gang lot murdci. lint
nlso hnd a most snlutory effect, and thcii
ndlierents have been keeping very quiet.
Tho backbone of the strike is broken. The
police nro nlett nnd ready for nny emergim
cy, nnd in n short time tlie trouble will bf
over. In view of the declaration or the
state's attorney in effect that he
has discovered mid is in possession o!
ample evidence implicating the conspira
tors, Spies, Fielden nnd Schwab in
tlio wholesale, slaughter ot Tuesdnv night,
the situation hns assumed a serious nspect
for these notorious aunrcliists. It is tlie
g nernl emphntic opinion among lending
members of tho bur that their crimes nre
well defined, nnd, under the most circum
spect interpretation of the law. are punish
able by death. With such opinions it is
morally certain that the bunging of the
trio of exponents of nihilism is a, matter ol
tho near future. Tho question of thoit
doom is agitating tho legal minds of the
bar, and methods prescribed for their pun
ishment nro numerous. It was recom
mended by some that at tho order of the
judge a special grand jury should be im
panelled nnd tlio enso proceeded with with
out delay. In times like tlieso it was con
strued that tho sooner an example wns
made of such breeders of crimo and murder
the more effectiv i1- would be in suppress
ing such men in tho future. In conversing
with lending lnwvors reirnrdin,. llio nnaailitl.
ity of the hanging of the trio many points
of interest were developed.

mnn, "that tho tune hns come when tho

of n most dnngorotiH class of crimiunls, rep

is commendable, but should onlv bo con
sidered nn initiatory step to the'disposal
oi ineso iicniis on tlio gullows."
"Do you think it is possible tinder tho
present laws to carry their penult v to that
point?"
"There can bo no doubt about it. It is a
well known fact that these men aided ami
were instigators of a riot movement which
resulted in numerous murders. Viewed
from tho statutory point of view, they
wero nccossory, nnd nro amenable ns
principals. Kvidonco against tlieso men
would be cumulative, and if they wero
nccessories to tho villainous plot that re
sulted in tliedeath of a number of innocent
parties, tho guilt would be In proportion
as the injury to lifo was great or small."
"Could tho previous speeches of theso
men be offered in evidence ngaiiist them'.'"
"They would be impottnnt fuctors in tlio
case, nnd would bo ncceptnble iu defining
tlio position of defiance to law nnd dis
regard for human life which the speakers so
frequently evinced."
THE OUTLOOK DECIDEDLY UOOD.

Wheat Unite Uncoil rnin.
Tho following crop summary appears in
a late issuo of tlio Chicago Farmers' Re
view: Tlie prospects for both winter and
spring wheat coutinuo excellent. Tho only
state iu which no special improvement is
reported is Kunsas. The tenor of tho ro
ports, however, is not specially different
from thoso of tho preceding six weeks, with
tho exception thnt iu Greenwood county
damage by Hy is reported nnd in Oswego
tlio presence of tho chinch bug has been no
ticed in somo of tho fields. In Atchison
county not to exceed U0 por cent of the
original acreage lias been plowed up and
tho land devoted principally to oats. Tho
remainder of the crop is in good condition.
In Harvey, Rurton and Pottuwammio
counties tlio entiro crop is set down ns an
absoluto failure. In Morris county 20 per
cent of tho original acreage remains and in
Saline county there is tlie promise of 50 per
cent ot nn average- crop. In Chnutauqua
and Oswego counties there is thopromiso
of c early n. full average ciop. Winterwhcnt
throughout tho stato hasattaincd a growth
of from six to twelve inches. While tho
average of tho reports from southern Illi
nois indicate a fair outlook lor an average
crop, tho spring wheat reports from Da
kota, .Minnesota, Iown, Wisconsin, and Ne
braska are of a very promising character.
Morton county, Dakota, reports a 0 por
cent increnso in average. Tho recent rains
in Dakota ami Minnesota have left the
ground iu good condition. Tlio growing
plant is reported to have taken a good
stand. In Wisconsin spring whoat is just
putting iu an appearance, wliilo winter
wheat is from eight to ten inches high. Tlio
reports from Iowa iiulicuto a full average
crop. Corn planting has boen finished in
Kansas, and is partially completed in Ne
brnskn, Iowa and Wisconsin. Tlie plant
ing occurred under generally favorable con
ditions. "FEADE AS HELL OF OLD TOM."
