All day yesterday and last night, riot- ing anarchy and arson characterized the great railroad strike in Chicago. The United States troops were hooted and had much trouble with mobs, but with- out and shots being fired. At midnight the administration officials decided to send more troops to aid General Miles in suppressing the 'rioters. The rioters or their anarchist sympa- thizers fired and totally destroyed.

The Senate has passed its crazy-quilt tariff bill by a vote of 39 to 34. Senator“ Hill was the only democrat who had the courage to vote No. The bill now goes to the House and then to a confer- ence committee where it is sure to be still further ripped up and torn to pieces. How or when it will finally be- come a‘law, no one can guess. It may be a week, but is more likely to be a month. The GAZETTE is credita bly in. formed that the President has given it out that if the bill comes to him with the obnoxious Income Tax feature, he will be forced to veto it. Yachting on the Clyde. The yacht race on the Clyde opened yesterday with a deplorable accident and ended with a victory for the Bri- tannia, but under conditions which leave hersuperiority to the Vigilant an open question. The conclusion to be drawn from the race will be that the Britannia and the Vigilant are very evenly matched, and that several trials will be needed before any marked su- periority of one over the other can be ‘claimed. The Britannia by general consent of yacht designers represents the best that English skill has been able to produce. With two rivals ex. eluded by the accident, it remains an international contest between the fast— est American and English yachts. And may the plucky Yankee win. Freedom’s Day. Here’s a bit of Fourth of July read- ing in a Chicago dispatch to the “New York Herald,” describing the occur- rences at Blue Island Monday after- noon and evening. “Suffering women and children,” writes the correspond- ent, “some of whom had been prisoners ,in tied-up passenger trains for two days, pleaded in vain for food and drink. receiving only curses and revilings." And this in free America in 1894. How different this Connecticut'pic— ture, portrayed in the poetic strains of Editor Porter of the Hartford Post, in the opening of his Fourth of Julv speech at‘ Woodstock: “Beside this beautiful lake, blue as the summer sea; beneath these grand old treesnmajestic as those under which the Druids- held their mystic rites and ceremonies; with the open sky for our canopy and the fragrance of roses to hear our senses heavenward, we meet on this the na- tion’s birthday, to rekindle with speech and song the divine fire of patriotism and to venerate the flag which is the emblem of our dignity and power.” No Cause for Alarm. .Of the widely spread apprehension of a meat famine, as likely to grow out of the great Railroad strikes the Tribune gives these assuring words: f. ‘.‘There is needless alarm in;jreference to the meat famine threatened in consequence of the cutting off of the supply of I‘l‘Chicago beef. It is true that no shipments have, been made since last Friday, and if no more is received from the West for several days, a large supply can be ob- tained from this and other Eastern States—enough, doubtless, to prevent anything like a famine which the deal- ers are loudly predicting. Some ad- vance in the price of meat is inevitable, but at present there is no excuse for anything but a moderate increase in the cost of this necessary of life.” So far as Norwalk butchers are con- cerned, they are now forced to pay quite a heavy advance for their meats, but so far as we are advised, none- of I 4 ' them have as yet raised their prices to their customers. This is ‘greatly to their credit.’ While Norwalk’s poul- . try, fish, lobster, clam and oyster sup- plies hold out our people need fear no serious food famine. As the - tie-up of Western railroads still continues the scarcity of meat will necessarily en. hance'its cost, but a famine is improb- able. ‘ : Paying Little Bills. That these are u nprecedently hard times, is a fact most painfully apparent to every one and especially to our mer- chants and financial institutions. Never before in our country’s history were so many people out of employ- ment, or so many families forced to scrimp and economize to the extremest degree, because of'want of work and means. These worthy people deserve and have,the sympathy of all and should and do receiverindulgence in the mat- ter of their little bills, from the grocer butcher etc, which it is a cruel wrong for those who can pm’, promptly, to either ask or expect. In times like these every man blessed with a com- petence, should prove himself a public benefactor by promptly paying cash down for what he gets. Especially should every one owing a- bill 'which he can pay, make it a point in these times to be eSpecially prompt in its payment. Nothing would help business more than the prompt collection by storekeepers of what is due them; And this applies to little bills as truly as to bigger bills. Peoplewho carry around in their pock- ets the small bills they have received, and think they’ll wait for these little matters till they have time to attend to them, are doing a real wrong to the merchants who have trusted them. The time to attend to them is now. The little bills added together make what t e retailer needs to pay the wholesaler with. The delay of the one involves the delay of the other. If the people who are able to pay would do it quickly, there would be a marked improvement in trade and business here and else- where, all along the line. Base Bail. The St. Joseph’s, of Bridgeport, will again tackle the Norwalk Park’s to- morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock. At the first game the Park’s defeated them, but since that time they have been coached by James H. O’Rourke, the ex-professional ball player, who also acts as catcher, and are now putting up a strong game. Last Saturday the St. Joseph’s gave the South Norwalk’s a drubbing. In to-morrow’s contest O’Rourke and Lush will be their bat- tery and an interesting game will be played. . -...-..._ -.._..v .. . .L. s... .____-. Sons of St. George.

NORWALK, CONN. €RIDAY JULY 6, 1894. REQQLLEQTIONS SOFA WAR ‘ MGURBESPUNBENT. BY T HE Editor of the Gazette. J. Copyrighted 1894. CHAPTER XI. The War Department was in such a chaotic condition, that unavoidable and vexatious delays occurred in furnishing McDowell with the moderate reinforce- ments he so reasonably requested. Nevertheless, so impatient and clamor- ous had the North become for an “ad- vance,” that Gen. Scott ordered him to press upon the enemy’s outposts and picket-lines, then extending from Falls Church to beyond Centreville, and out towards Manassas Junction, the War Department promising to send him re- inforcements via Alexandria, as fast as men could be equipped. McDowell marched his forces and pressed the enemy’s advanced lines as ordered, un- til he had passed beyond Centreville and neared the little stream called Bull Run, where he found Beauregard’s army strongly entrenched. This entire- ly changed the complexion of things and McDowell called on Gen. Scott for a force of thirty thousand men of all arms, with ten thousand reserves, be- fore assuming the" responsibility of bringing on a general engagement by attacking the enemy behind his en- trenchments. McDowell accompanied his demand for more troops with the following rational statement: “The consequences of the battle will be of the greatest importance to the country} as establishing the prestige in this con- test on one side or the other,—-the more so as the two sections of the country will be fairly represented by regiments from almost every state. I think it of great consequence that, as our regi- ments are exceedingly raw and the best of them not over steady in line, they be organized into as many small brig- ades as possible, ’i‘ * * so that the men may have as fair 9. chance as the nature of things and their inexperience will allow.” President Lincoln deemed McDow- ell’s reasoning as commendably sound and his demands most reasonable and seeing how slowly things were. working he actively prodded the War Depart- ment in every way he could, to have reinforcements hurried to him. Beauregard had these able command- ers, Longstreet, Ewell, Early, and Jackson; while McDowell had Sher- man, Tyler, Terry, Burnside, Frank- lin, Howard, Heintzleman, and Miles. The two armies were about equally manned and equally oflicered in the higher commands, but the subsequent military judgment was, that the rebels were superior to us in their regimental and company officering, drill, and dis- cipline. Their rank and file was not, as was our army, composed so largely of lawyers, clergymen, college profes- sors, tutors, students, bankers, mer- chants, clerks, skilled and educated men, in short “sovereigns”-—each one of whom knew, or thought he did, and in many cases rightfully so, more than did his Captain, Colonel, or General, as to what was best to be done in any military emergency, when the first fierce bloody struggle was launched into operation. It was an~experience new and untried to both officers and men, and the bitter realities of actual war were not, and could not in'the na~ ture of things, be adequately under- stood or appreciated. Serious difficulties and delays were experienced in getting arms for our men, who were more plentiful than guns; most of these had to be purchased in Europe. At a cost of over two mil- lions of dollars Col. Schuyler had pur- chased abroad one hundred and twenty thousand rifles, ten thousand carbines, ten thousand revolvers, and twenty thousand sabres. Then a still graver difficulty confronted the Government at the moment it was straining every energy for this first general engage- ment. A great mistake had been made in not making the first call for troops for a year instead of ninety days. After McDowell had commenced his march out to Bull Run, the time of enlistment of several regiments in his command expired and the troops refused to con- tinue in service beyond the period of their enlistment for the glittering pros- pect of engaging in battle and being shot. He was quite seriously weakened by these withdrawals of men, when marching up to the entrenched enemy’s front. this respect were slight, however, in comparison with the decimation of General Patterson’s force stationed up the Potomac to confront the rebel Johnston’s army and prevent his flying to the aid of Beauregard, when the fight should be on. His loss was very heavy and proved most disastrous to our cause, as regiment after regiment Withdrew because of their expiration of service. By reason ' of the disloyal treachery with which the Union cause was constantly beset and imperiled, the rebels were made in’stantly aware of this and every other movement affect- ing our forces. ' ~ . It was on the 15th of July that Gen. McDowell ordered breaking of camp ‘ on the next day, and an advance march to meet the enemy. It was his pur- pose to get his troops in peeitionrand make the attackion the 20th. ' A more grotesque armyofmarching men was never seen in any time or any country. Their uniforms were more varied than their arms and equipment. There were the full highlander uniforms, the gaudy ‘ General McDowell’s losses in ‘ ‘ SO. . ellow and scarlet Zouaves, companies ,of the old time Continentals, and the rim and natty greys and blue-coats " and white pants and what-note, of city nd provincial “crack” companies. dded to this motley array there were ’ Thousands of soldiers with no uniforms legit all, bravely trudging wrtn heavy .3 uns, knapsacks and accoutrements, in he same apparel in which they had “ ft farm, workshop or store. ' I was with our Connecticut Gen. Ty- ler’s advance brigade, in which were our State regiments, at its arrival and halt at Centreville. Strings of car- riages, trucks, baggage-wagons, and civilians on horseback, came pouring iiifrom Washington by the thousands, ifntil it was doubtful if a horse was left in that city. All seemed impelled by - the same impulses of curiosity and all .f‘rxpecting to see our army fight a great gattle, and send the enemy flying pell- Zuell “back to Richmond. Many of hose sightseers came out loaded with _, "oxes and cans of “goodies” for rela- gfi'es or friends in the _ranks, never doubting the soldiers’ ability to carry édozen pies, great loaves of cake, cans ,f peaches, tomatoes, meats, hampers ocked with bottles, roast chicken and iandwiches, out to the battle-field, on their backs or under their arms. ,‘ Gen. McDowell was an able soldier, thoroughly trained in the art of war. His plan of the expected conflict was as perfect as human genius could de- vise. His troops were raw, yet expect- ant. They had left their peaceful avo- cations at home, to come out as they seemed to feel, to a military picnic, or monster dress-parade. This was their feeling, universally. Not so with their commander, upon whom the heavy re- sponsibility of this first great battle of the war rested. He was hopeful up to the point of disaster, but no one will ever know the weight of apprehension that bur. dened his soul. A day had been lost owing to one of his divisions having missed its way, and thus not only got ten delayed but’exhausted by a long and needless march, in that scorching July sun. But Patterson, he was as- sured by Gen. Scott, was to prevent, at all hazards and to the last extremity, a possibilityof a junction of Johnston’s forces. up the Potomac, with Beaure- ga’rd’s army in his front, so the loss of a day did not seem so serious and fatal to his hopes as it proved to be. Meantime. Congress was in session and doing all in its power to aid the army and strengthen the hands of the Government. A resolution had saga- ciously been passed at its opening, de- claring that only naval, military and financial measures should be consid- ered 'at this extra session. All other business was relegated to the standing committees to be taken up at the regu- lar session in December. Whenever any hill to strenthen the Union cause came up, the secession element, still lurking in both Houses of Congress, was on the alert to oppose it. This dis- loyalty was led by John C. Breckin- ridge of Kentucky, in the Senate, and by C. L. Valandingham of Ohio, in the House. Despite all their open and subtle opposition, however, bills auth- orizing a war loan of $250,000,000 and an appropriation of $161,000,000, for army purposes, were triumphantly passed. Bills were also passed defin- ing and punishing conspiracies against the United States; raising five hun— dred thousand men; authorizmg the enlistment of whatever number of men might be deemed necessary, and pledging the appropriation of ,all the money needed for the .suppression of the rebellion. Benjamin Wood of New York, was the only eastern, and Valandingham, the only western con- gressman, who voted “nay” on these patriotic measures. * Within a week of the meeting of the extra session, Senators Chestnut, of South Carolina; Clingman and Bragg, of North Carolina; Hemphill and Wig- fall, of Texas; Mason and Hunter, of Virginia; Michalson, of Tennessee; Sebastian and Mitchell, of Arkansas, were expelled from the Senate and July 13th John B. Clark, of Missouri, from the House, as traitors, to the joy of the loyal and discomfiture of the secessionists everywhere. ._ __.____« - .__.____ USE DANA’S SABSAPARILLA, IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES.” ,Tobacco Crop Almost Ruined.
