CURRENT COMMENT.
England is waking up on the oleomar-
garine question. The irrepressible Yank
is working off 103,088,000 pounds of the
stuff annually upoD bis unsuspecting
British brother as pure cow butter.
The only remaining Chinaman of
Guernevslle, Cal., has promised to be-
come like Melicau man, and is mdustri -
ously keeping his promise. He has cut
his queue off, wears a stovepipe hat,
takes writing lessons, and signs himself
“Jim Maloney.”
A girl at Olympia, Oregon, threatens
to sue her own father for breach of
p-omise. She says the old gentleman
first gave his consent to her marriage
with her lover and then withdrew it, and
that in consequence her beau got tired of
waiting and has gone off with another
girl.
The returns of our foreign trade still
continue unsatisfactory. There is a slight
increase for March over last year, but for
the past nine months the comparison is
distinctly unfavorable. There is an in-
crease of $37,251,341 in our imports and
a decrease of $76,232,835 in our exports.
We are sending less and buying more
abroad, and as a consequence the balance
of trade is only very little in our favor.
For the corresponding period of 1885
this balance was $157,993,856; for the
present year it is only $44,510,680, a re-
duction of $113,484,176. Our total trade
has fallen during the same period from
$1,025,455,514 to $988,474,020.

Milwaukee, May 6.—At a late hour
yesterday evening a large crowd of riot-
ers, mostly Poles, gathered at St. Stanis-
laus’ Church and marched out to the
rolling mills on Bay View street with the
avowed intention of cleaning out the
military and burning the mills. The
military ordered them to halt, and as no
attention was paid to the command order
was given to tire, and five men and a boy
WERE KILLED
and a number wounded. The mob then
dispersed, but more trouble is feared.
Military, well armed and provided with
a gatling guu, are guarding the mills and
protecting the employes.
AT CHICAGO.
Chicago, May 6.—The Pullman em-
emploves, who went out on a strike
yesterday, held a mass-meeting and de-
nounced the socialists, declaring that
they had no sympathy with that element.
Tee police are armed with rifles, and each
officer is provided with two 44-calibre
Colts’ revolvers. No crowds are allowed
to gather. “Move on” is the order of the
day, and where not readily obeyed it is
enforced by a rigorous use of a police-
man’s club. A shop i>n South Canal
street, known to be a rendezvous for an-
archists, has been searched and several
thousand stands of arms, bayonets and
iron-knuckles were seized. A squad of
police has taken possession of the Arbei-
ter Zeitung office, and all the employes,
twenty-four in number, were arrested
and committed for trial on the charge of
murder. Bail was refused. A large
mob gathered on Center street and when
the officers attempted to disperse them
they were fired upon from the anarchists’
ball. The fire was promptly returned,
and the crowd quickly dispersed. Seven
socialists were captured and locked up.
August Spies, Chris Spies, Samuel Field-
ing and Michael Schwab, arrested for in-
citing riot here, have been
HELD WITHOUT BAIL
to await the action of the grand jury.
Parsons has not yet been apprehenned.
Late yesterday afternoon a man tired a
shot into the street from a saloon on Des-
plaioes street. In attempting- to arrest
him Officer Madden was mortally wound-
ed, but succeeded in returning the com-
pliment. The man will die. There have
been no serious outbreaks up to this hour
to-day, but the city is feverish and there
is no telling how the day will end. It is
generally believed, however, that the
worst is past, and that the well-armed
and determined police force has succeed-
ed in overawing ihe anarchists, who will
hesitate to again face the deadly fire of
the officers.
THE SITUATION ELSEWHERE.
New York, May 6.—The short-hour
movement in this city goes on peaceably.
Many employers have agreed to the de-
mauds of the men and others are seeking
for peace on terms which do not call for
a total surrender. Others are determined
to tight it out. The varnishers have
steadily gained ground and it seems
probable that 1200 men belonging to
that union will soon be at work on their
own terms. The wagon and carriage
manufactories have notified their striking
hands that they will appoint a committee
to call on them to-night for the purpose
of adjusting differences.
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
New York, May 6 —The indicted
members of the executive committee of
the Empire Protective association—Jos.
P. O'Donnell, Andrew D. Best, John
Hughes, James F. Downing and James
P. Graham—whose trial was set for yes-
terday on a charge of conspiracy and
coercion in connection with the Third
avenue strike, were on hand early at the
district, attorney’s office, but the latter in-
formed the counsel for the indicted men
that the trial had been indefinitely post-
poned, without advancing any reason
therefor.
CINCINNATI WORKMEN.
Cincinnati, May 6.—The busy hum
of industry of factories along the bot-
toms was stilled yesterday. Silence
reigned supreme in the big establishments
on front street, where two extensive com-
panies, Hall and Master’s, were shut, up
last night. The quiet condition of ihe
lower part of the city was strongly sug-
gestive of the country. The strikers
merely kept away from places in which
they had b< en employed. All communi-
cation with their employers were made
through regular constituted committees,
and the best of feeling prevails between
employers and the men. Occasionally
groups of two or three were seen discuss-
ing the situation in a thoughtful wav.
No ex pression of an anarchist' character,
or threats of violence were uttered.
A BIG STRIKE ENDED.
New York, May 6.—The Third avenue
strike is practically oyer. Cars are now
running on schedule time. A full com-
plement of cars were run last night. The
force of police along the route has been
greatly te need and reserves are not
kept at. the stations. At tlie strikers’
headquarters matters are exceedingly
dull.
What Powderly Says.
Scranton, Pa., May 6.—General Mas-
ter Workman Povvdi rly was called upon
last evening for the purpose of ascertain-
ing his views on the reign of terror in
Chicago, aud in reply to a question as to
what he thought of the stormy situation
there, said: “At times like this, the
tendency among some well-meaning, but
poorly posted people, is to blame all
workingmen for the sayings and doings
of desperadoes, who are uever so happy
as when they are riding the crest wave of
passion. A disiinction should be drawn,
however, between the followers of the
red flag and those who owe allegiance to
no bauuer but the stars and stripes, be-
tween anarchists, who preach ruiu, and
the true representatives of labor, who be-
lieve in lawful methods for achieving de-
sirable reform.”
“There is no affiliation between the
Knights of Labor and anarchists?”
“Most emphatically no. The scenes
of bloodshed and discord, which have
taken place in Chicago, are disgraceful,
uncalled lor and deserving of the sever-
est condemnation and punishment. The
men who march under any flag but that
of the stars ami stripes, are not America
workmen, neither native or naturalized.
HONEST LABORERS
are not represented m the ranks of those
who array themselves uuder the emblem
of blood afld destruction. I have no
sympathy with the men who nave insti-
gated such deeds as have been perpetrat-
ed in Chicago. It is the duty of every
organization of workingmen in the
United States io condemu the outrages
committed in the name of labor. I be-
lieve the man who comes to this country
and refuses to become a citizen of the
United States, after having sufficient
time to do so, has no more right to be
here than an alien land grabber who
takes possession of the acres of the West.
The workmgmen of America have a
more powerful weapou than the bullet in
the ballot, and if they use their honest
rights as citizens judiciously they will
have no occasion to resort to riotism.”
“Are the men whoss names are given
as the leaders of this movement in Chi-
cago Ivuights of Labor?”
“No, sir, and if Knights-of Labor
have taken part in these murderous pro-
ceedings they should be promptly ex-
pelled from the order. Our orgauiza
tion means no antagonism to necessary
capital, nor have we any conflict with
LEGITIMATE ENTERPRISES,
and when we have occasion to take issue
with illegitimate enterprise, we will do
so under the law, which protects the rich
and poor alike. It is the duty of every
Knight of Labor to support, laws made
to harmonize the interests of labor and
capital.”
“Can you speak with authority as to
the attitude of the trades unions toward
those disgraceful deeds in Chicago?”
“I can. There is not a trades union in
America that will countenance wrong
doing to uphold men who have engaged
in such scenes of bloodshed and des ruc-
tion of property, as those reported from
Chicago. The aim of trades unions is
to protect and elevate labor, not to de-
grade and destroy it, as anarchists have
attempted to do.”
Mr. Powderly spoke with feeling, and
was deeply indiguant when discussing
the scenes of the past four days in Chi-
cago.
The Big- Drill.
Houston, May 6.—A telegram h is
been received by the members of the
Light Guard from Captain F. A. Reich-
ardt, their captain, stating that he had
arrived safely at Savannah, and that the
drill was a grand affair. The Montgom-
ery Grays were the favorites, bus there
were several other strong companies there
that would make fine records and might
come out near the winners, and if a
slight oversight or bad break was made,
might take first place. The contest for
senior companies began yesterday.
A Close Call.
Houston, May 6.—Yesterday Charles
Conroy, a hack driver, while driving
across the track of the Galveston, Har-
risburg and San Antonio railway near
their depot in the Fifth ward, was run
into by the switch engine of that road and
the hack badly broken to pieces. It seems
that the engine was backing up and the
hackman was standing by the track wait
ing for it to get out of the way so he
could drive over. The engine cleared
the track and stopped, and ihe hack
driver drove forward, but before even
his horses were clear it smarted forward
again and struck the carriage between
the rear and front wheels, knocking it
over and badly smashing it. The driver
was thrown from his box and suffered
painful injuries. One of the horses was
also crippled and bruised about ihe body.
