Another Ugly Demonstration by the " <—

' Unemployed In Chicago. "

OVERAWED BY ‘ THE POLICE.

After a. Sharp Conflict, In Which the om-
' cors Were Pelted With Coupling Plus,
I. Charge With Drawn Clubs Dis-
persed the Unruly Crowd.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Gatling guns in use
directly in front of the Auditorium was the
scene imminent for a short time today.
Coupling “pins and clubs were the worst
weapons actually brought into use, how-
ever, aud the most prominent public-
grouud in the city, the landing place of the
World’s fair steamers, was narrowly spared
a ‘spectacle of carnage paralleling the mem-
(n'able Haymarket riot.

An enormous crowd of men and women
Congregated on the lake front for the pur-
pose of holding a mass meeting. The num—
ber of people assembled was so very much
larger than expected that 500 policemen
were hurriedly placed on duty at the park
and 1,000 additional men were summoned
IrOm distant police stations to be in readi-
ness in case of trouble. The police were
very apprehensive of a disturbance and
tOok every precaution to prevent a serious
Outbreak. ,
‘ » ' Traffic “’35 Suspended.

‘ During the morning crowds of unem-

ployed and idle spectators crowded around

the Columbus monument. As the minutes
passed the, crowd grew larger and more
turbulent. Indications of rioting began to
manifest themselves, and in addition to
the number of officers in plain clothes
, circulating among the throng Chief of
Police Brennan summoned first 500 uni-
formed men and later a round thousand.
Prior to this the only patrolmen in uni-
form visible were on the streets abutting

Lake Front park.

'4‘ Meanwhile the throng had greatly mul-

tiplied, impromptu speeches being made

at several points attracting additions “to
the crowd. Soon the outskirts of the
great gathering were surging across Mich-

‘gan boulevard and blockingaccess to the

Auditorium. Along the boulevard and

streets leading from that thoroughfare

(radio was suspended, and a number of

teams were caught in the mass of people, '

from which2egress, owing to the crush, was
impossible. '
“ , The Mob Wanted Guns.
The first uniformed police to arrive were
under command of Inspector Laughlin and
Were cheered as they appeared among the
crowd. The commander was told that a
Crowd of 500 Italiansand others had started
up State street bent On mischief. With 30
mén the inspector started after the mob.
The police came up with the .crowd at
LOuis Spizzari’s provision store at 565 State
street. In the basement of Spiazari’s mar;
ket were stored 50 rifles and a number of
tings used by the Italian societies in their
parades. These the mob demanded and in-
vaded the premises to obtain possession of
them. '
v‘: Spizzari, who is a leader among the Ital-
--ians, addressed the crowd, and after refus-
ing absolutely to let them have the guns or
dogs pushed the invaders out of his store
and locked the doors. '
,‘As a concession, SpiZzari gave the leaders
82,'and they bought Italian amfiAmerlcan.
flags and returned to the Columbus menu.
ment on the lake front, followed by the po-
lice squad. During the parley the police
kept the streets near Spizzari’s place clear,
but made no arrests.
l- , Coupling Pins Thrown.
? News Of the events on State street irri-
tated the lake front mob, and it became

more and more disorderly. Excited indi- -

viduals made speeches continuously, and
soon stones began to be thrown. Rioters
ivho were in the eastern outskirts of the
mob picked up coupling pins from the Illi-
nois Central tracks, and the heavy missiles
Were thrown toward the police.

J. Inspectors Shea and Laughlin at this
juncture promptly ordered a charge upon
the crowd. . The .police in. force were by
this time but a short distance south of the
body of the mob, and before'the rioters saw
the advance the shock came. The contact
was of short'duration. ,

5 As the heart. of the mob round the monu-
Illent saw their friends scatter before the
stringing clubs the leaders turned and
filed. Their course lay north and west out
of the park to Michigan avenue. In an al-
most incredibly short time the mob dwln- ,
riled away as the rioters sought’safe escape
in the alleys and streets.

Were Thought to Be Due to the
Genuine Asiatic Article.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 31.—Some alarm has
been created by three deaths which have
occurred‘in this city. The first was that of
William Morton. He Was employed in
Washington market and toOk home large
quantities of fruit, principally muskmel-
ons. Of these all the family and also the
family of Mrs. Josephine Smith, Mrs. Mor-
ton’s sister, who lives on the fioorbelow,
ate freely. They also drank beer. 1

Mrs. Smith next became ill and was at‘
tended by Dr. Muttart, who had attended
Morton. As'she complained of pains sim-
ilar to those Morton suffered, the physician
notified the authorities, and Mrs. Smith
was removed to the city hospital, where
she died last night. ' The health authorities
,fumigated and quarantined'the house. The
3investigation satisfied ' the physicians that
gdeathhvaa caused by cholera morbus.‘

: ' Two. of Morton’s Children became ill'yee-
-,terday afternoon, but the case's yielded
Ereadily to treatment for cholera morbus,
,and last evening they were pronounced out

~ l

plaint, but it was found he had been eat-
ing freely-of green apples. He was treated

about midnight last night; Crowe had. at:
tended Mrs. Smith during her fatal illness.
Dr. Cooney, the house surgeon at the
city hospital, where all of the deaths oc-
curred, says that he thinks that Crowe,
Mrs. Smith and Morton died of entero
colitis, an inflammation of the colon, a part
‘ Of the intestines. This is a disease, the doc-
tor says, which is -a species of cholera mor-
bus, with symptoms of Asiatic cholera.
The quarantine on Morton’s house and
the three neighboring houses has been re
moved by Police Superintendent Smith, on
the advice of the health inspector. .

cHe Is In Favor of Blmotalllsm, but 0p-
posed to Free Colnuge of Silver, Which -
He Says Is the Stepping Stone to
a. Single Silver Standard.

WusnchON, Aug. 81. --I_t is said by
some that the silver debate in the senate
is to be made a test of physical endurance.
This at least is the programme which the
senators from the silver states announce. .

states stand alone in this determination.
They will not be aided to any great or
tent by the free coinage Democrats unless
Mr. Morgan of Alabama should take a
hand and (according to the standing sen-
ate joke) set his mouth going and walk
away and leave it. In that event Mr. Mora
gun would prove a powerful ally,>for his
resistless flow of talk could be relied upon'
to last for many days. But most of the
free coinage Democratslit is behaved, agree
with Mr. Hill that to filibuster on this
question would be to lower ,the character of

its deliberations. ,

‘ Threats analogous to those ascribed to
the silver men have been heard befOre in
the senate on other burning public ques-
tions, but somehow, after two or three
weeks of talk and at most two continuous
all night sessions, a compromise has been
reached and an agreement entered into for
a vote to be taken at a fixed time. _ Little
doubt is entertained that this‘will bathe
result in this instance.- The supply of am-
munition of the silver senators is not inexs
=haustible. They hate been prodigal of its
use in the debates heretofore had.

With‘the retirement of Mr. Edmunds
from the senate themost influential oppo-
nent of a change ot-‘the rules was with-
drawn. Mr. Sherman and other promi‘
nent senators who Opcehgreed with the
Vermont senator on this point havesince

less debate.

After the routine business in the senate
today i he bill for the repeal of the Sher-
man ‘act was taken up,_and_Mr, Sherman
(Rep, 0.) proceeded to address'the senate.

. - Sherman’s Speech. ' 2'}?

He said that if the repeal of; 'thh‘purchac
ing clauses oi the act of July;'_l890,~.were
the only reason for the extraordinary!!!”-
sion it would seem to him insufijcient. It
was, however, justified by the'“existin}g
financial stringency. , , _ - ’4 .

On one thing he said congressfiand tilt
people agreed, and that was that both gold
and silver should be continued in maize

States. If senators wanted cheap, money
and an advance in prices, free coinage of
silver was the way to do it, but they should
not call it bimetallism. . . _ p .
Mr. Sherman then proceeded . t'of'discu'ss
the history of the act that bears his name.
He was not in favor of the free coinage of
silver and regarded it as but another name
for the monometallism of silver and was
only in favor Of the purchase of silver for
purposes of coining. The conférecs of the
two houses agreed upon their differences,
and in that agreement secured the repeal
of the Bland-Allison act. Mr. Sherman re-
minded senators that when they criticised
the law that was misnamed after him, they
should remember that this law now on the
statute books was far better than either
the house bill or that passed by the senate.

forth the decline in the value of- silver, but
had failed to give the causes of that decline.
If he had taken a broader view of the causes
of that decline, he could have explained'it
all. It was due, Mr. Sherman said, to the

After discussing other matters contrib-
uting to the. present condition, Mr. Sher-
man declared that an erroneous impression
had been created when it was claimed that
the Sherman law, was the cause of all the
trouble, and. this he said with all due def-

erence to Mr. Cleveland. Still the fact was

that congress must deal with a situation
and not a measure.

He believed in “giving the devil his due”
and was ready to stand by the: law, not as
a measure in which he; .took any special
pride, for h‘was compelledto yield in or

the various coinage laws of the United
States, with special reference to the act of
1878, which had, he said, been the subject
of so much misrepresentation and falsehood
in this debate. He denied Mr. Voorhecs’_
statement that that act (the act 0118mm

Mr. Voorhees replied that he ncvcr'inv

"Hereafter-,9 said Mr. Sherman, “when
any man makes such a statement abo i
this legislation, I shall simply say that t
is a falsehood and brand it so.

“It is strange,” said Mr. Sherman, 'fthat
‘on the vote on this bill- that the distin-
guished senator from Nevada (Mr. Stew-
' art) voted for it, and I, ”the devilfish,’ voted
against it. ”

epithet applied to Mr. Shaman during the
debate in the house last Week.

In the house Mr. Talbot (Dem. Mo.)
asked unanimous consent to introduce a
bill repealing the statutes authorizing the
appointment of marshals and supervisors

Mr. Breckinridge (Dem. Ky), from the
committee on appropriations, reported the
urgent dcfleien ey appropriation bill, which
appropriates $300,000, and it was passed.
The items are 825,000 for bank note paper,
$200,000 for coinage of subsidiary coins and
$75,000 fer clerks'to representatives.

:Mr. Bowers (Rep, Cal.) asked consent
for the immediate consideration of a reso-
lution calling on the attorney general for
"information as towhethcr any action has
been taken in the cases now pending in
which the Southern Pacific Railroad com-
