The printers Pay Their Compliments to Chicago, May 10.—The vigilance of the police in looking after suspected Anarchists has not relaxed a particle siuce the occurrence of the outrage that first induced it. The various stations contain the usual extra detail Inaugurated a week ago, and a strict watch is kept along the streets on suspicious parties. The anticipation of inoendiary fires has caused citizens and property owners to be doubly on the lookout, so that no matter from what quarter troublb may spring preparation will have been mado for it A man riding on a west side car attracted the attention of the passengers by talking loudly In defense of the Socialists engaged in Tuesday night's riot. He proclaimed himself a rampant Anarchist and denounced the police in filthy language for the part they had tuken in suppressing outrage. A polioo officer locked him up at the Desplaines street station, where he gave the name of J. M. Hart. A third raid was made on tho nest at 71 West Lake street by a squad of twenty-six men from the central detail under the command of Lieut Hubbard nnd Sergt. Fitzpatrick. In the hall, up stairs, a meeting of hod carriers was found in session, and the members wero searched. Nothing was found upon them to indicate oonncction or sympathy with the lawless element, and they were allowed to proceed unmolested. A few red flags left in the hall by parties unknown, were carried away.

Pinley, upholsterer of the Gulf,'Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, testified that he formerly occupied two official positions wi'li the Knights of Labor. Ho i-aid it was the intention of the Knights to strike on all tho Texas roads, but better judgment prevailed. He was opposed to strikes. Their papers for the past turee days have been echoing and ro-echoing the fact, which every United Press correspondent In the continental capitals has been cab'.ing to you for weeks past, that tho decision as to peace or war wiU come, not from Constantinople, or Athens, or London, but from Livadla. After the morning business in the house to-day the eomyilttee on the District of Columbia has thtf right of way. The committee has several important measures—important to thia city—for consideration, but intends first cjjlgng up the proposition to bridge the Potomac between Georgetown and Virginia. Tuesday belongs, by special order, to private land claims, but this may be set aside by more important matters, there being a clamor for the consideration of the iiftor-state commerce, electoral count, consular and diplomatic appropriation, and army appropriation bills. On Thursday the committee on agriculture, by special order, intands calling up ita bill creating the department of agriculture and labor. Trustworthy reports from the czar's retreat in the Crimea are exceediagly difficult to obtain. • P. W. Farrell, a carpenter, described tlio form of the mandate which was issued by the Knights of Labor to the freight clerks in the Texds and Pacific .Railroad office, at Fort Worth, ordering them (o strike. The general drift of opinion regarding the decision cf the czar is that it will be for war. "I think that is the man," he said, a trifle mnoercalnly. "Do you know what you are charged with!" Chief Donovan asked of the prisoner. Thu strike situation remains unchanged. The men stand well together and soemed determined, to hold out. W. J. Burk, editor of The Labor Advocate and county treasurer, testified to tho fact of the demoralizing effect of tho strike on the Gould systam. Ho said £ha t the condition' of the laboring men in the south was better than that of the northern workingmen. There was not such a surplus of labor in the south. The absence of employment for labor in the south during several months of the year was the most serious drawback. He believed the only remedy was the introduction of manufactories in Texas. He attributed much of the trouble to tho want of confidence between the employers ttnd the men, and thought that the workmen were not outspoken enough about their grievances. Jn reply to the question as to. who was benefitted by the seizure of the engines and the destruction of property by the strikers, witness said that he thought about the only person benefited was the sheriff. The czar has plainly, though not officially, aided Greece for many weeks. Without such aid and encouragement Greece never would have defied the combined powers with such mingled skill and determination as she has shown throughout this crisis. Russia, having thus brought Greece up to the fighting point, is now to see that she has a chance to fight, if she wants to fight, with a fair prospect of success. It is very questionable, however, if Greece wants to fight at presont, or if Russia desires her to do sow She has earned, by her plucky defiance of the powers, the right to keep her frontiers manned by as many troops as she can afford. But these are largely outnumbered by the Turks, and it would quite suit the convenience of Greece to remain in statu quo. "Dot feller last night tells me I vas arrestad for mnrter," was the reply, uttered with A peculiar lisp. The manufacturers, on the other hand, maintain the same position. The mayor lias assured the manufacturers that all men who want to go to work will be given full police protection. "That's the man; I'm sure of it," cried young Cm. "He shouted murder when I pounded htm in the dark, and be said It in thst same peculiar way." The prifoner frowned darkly and looked ▼cry far from meek. He was asked what be had to say to the charge cf murder, but he refused to answer. Then Police Commissioner. Daab addressed him in German, and he ventured to utter a few words in reply. Four regiments of the Ohio National guard, with a strengthened police force, are at his disposal, and it is hardly probable that therv will be any trouble." Friday, private bill day, and Saturday has been set apart for the joint resolution to appoint a commission to inquire into Indian affairs. This programme is liable to be disjointed by appropriation bills at any time and especially the senate amendments to the postofllee appropriation bill, including the foreign mail subsidy question. Much is being said about the president's messages on pension legislation, and that may spring up on tlip floor of the house at almost any time and consume considerable time. FIRE'S DESTRUCTIVE WORK Hull, Quebec, the Victim of a Disastrous Conflagration. "You're not a German," said the commissioner; "you speak like a Swedei" Hull, Que., May 10.—A fire broke out at about 1 o'clock yesterday morning iu Alderman Landry's bakery and, spreading rapidly, soon destroyed all tbe houses on an area of about ten acres, and 150 families were burned out. The only public building; destroyed was the new postofflce, a handsome stone structure costing about $350,000. The other lossej are estimated at $100,000, on which there is an insurance of $26,000. "Yes, I am," was the response; "why should I deny itf' In the saloon underneath the hall kept by Albert Florus, threa acknowledged red hot Anarchists were rooted out and carted off to the lockup. In the saloon was also found a copy of the platform of the Socialists, which essentially embodies the woll known utterance of Spies, Fielden, Schwab & Co., together with a partial directory of "groups" outside of Chicago. The "groups," according to the paper, are in existence as far east as Holyoke, Mass., and extend through Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and neighboring states. The three men taken are George Bartels, alias Loranz, Franz Smidt and Fred Benteen. Like their comrades in trouble, they betrayed the most craven terror when oonfronted by the representatives of justice, and seemed entirely bereft of the boasted courage of their kind. "Where do you live!" It is a firm belief at Athens that the czar will soon make a descent upon Bulgaria. That would call for the services of at least three-quarters of the Turkish army. The garrisons of Thessaly and Epirus would be greatly reduced and the bulk of the armies now encamped opposite Greece would be sent to the east. This is exactly the opportunity for declaring war, with a prospect of success, that Greece is waiting for. Unless Turkey takes the initiative in declaring war, or the promise of help which M. Butsow Is now bringing from Livadia Is even more generous than is anticipated, this state of affairs may continue on the Thessalian frontier for many weeks. "At Grand and Mott street in New York." "What were you doing over here?" The committee adjourned at a late hour. They went hence to Marshall "Nothing.

Long Branch, May 10.—Reports of considerable damage by Friday night's and Saturday's storm are coming in from all directions. All along the handsome ocean boulevard are immense washouts, and the beaches are badly cut away. In the lower part of the county several bridges were washed away and the roads are impassable. In every direction grain and corn are beaten down and torn away. The new Catholic church between Pair Haven and Oceanic, in Shrewsbury township, was struck by lightning, its steeple being shattered to pieces. The edifice narrowly escaped destruction by fire. The storm lasted thirty-six hours. The rainfall was the heaviest for years. Both Turkey and Greece are rapidly massing troops at the front and hurrying forward re-enforcements and reserves. Many European newspapers assert that Russia will secretly assist Greece in event of actual war. What Hiiktntf Pow Itr Sliall We Use PRINTERS OFFER A REWARD This plain question conses homa to every housekeeper. We all desire puro and wholesome food, and this cannot be lmd with the use of impure or poisonous bakiLg powder. There can be no longer a question that all the cheaper, lower grade of baking powder a conlain either alum, lime or pliosphatic acid. A C loth aa he may be to admit so much against what may have been some of our household gods, thero can bo no gainsaying tlio unanimous testimony o! the official chemists. Indeed, analysts seem to flnJ no baking powder entirely free from some one of these objectionable ingredients except tho Royal, and that they report as chemically pure. We find some of tho baking powders advortisod as pure, to contain, under the tests of Profs. Chandler, Habirahaw and others, nearly twelve per cent, of lime, while others uro made from alum with no cream of tartar. This, we presume, accounts for their lack of leavening power as sometimes complained of by the cook, and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently complained of by ourselves.

Lewis has been considered a hard case, and few mourn his death. Shot on a Steamboat.

Yale and Harvard Doat Kaces. Four men were horribly burned on the St Louis bridge by an explosion of gasoline. But aside from the inferiority of the work done by these powders, the physiologists assure us that lime and alum taken into the system in such quantities as this aro injurious. They are not decomposed by heat nor dissolved in mixing or baking. They go with the bread, therefore, into the stomach, where their physiological effects are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils. The question naturally arises, why do these cheap baking powder makers uso these things? Alum is three cents a pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The reasons for tke chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder were recently given in the New York Times in an interesting description of a uew method for refining argols, or crude cream of tartar. It seem* that it is only under this process that cream of tartar can be tr ed from the lime natural to it and rendered chemically pure ; that the patents and plant for this cost the Boyal Baking Powder Company about half a million dollars, and that they maintain exclusive control of the rights. Jay Gould's I.ate%t. Cleveland, May 10.—The announcement is made here that the United States Express company, which has operated since 1854 on- the New York, Lake Erie and Western and New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroads, will, on Saturday next, at the expiration of its yearly contract, be superseded by the Pacific Express company on those lines and their branches. The Pacific Express company is controlled by Jay Oould who, it is said, desires by means of the Erie to gain an eastern outlet for the express business of his southwestern system. It is hinted that the United States express will transfer its business from the Erie to the New York, Lackawanna and Western, and will have a western outlet over the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. These changes are to be decided upon at a meeting in New York this week. Two young people, out for a drive, upset their buggy into the river at Savannah; Iowa, and were drowned.
