They returned a wholo volley of shots, whereupon the strikers did likewise. This was kept up by both sides for a full half hour, tbe strikers firing from behind treuches aud buildings, and the police standiug bravely in the middle of Michigan street. After awhile Company “K,” which bad been under orders from the Governor since enrly morning, made its appearance aud soon Cleared tbe street. One of the privates. Farret, was seriously iujued by an expwding cartridge. Mauy innocent persons were iujured badly, aud some will die. Following is a list of the dead aud iujured:

Officer Donovau, two bad wounds, oue of which is in the hip. It was learned late last uiglit that the strikers rnado a desperate attempt to kill Joe Wolf, of the Arm of Wolf Ss Knox, who has been particularly obnoxious to them. They had caught Wolf while riding iu the West Bud and began throwing rocks at him. He was hemmed iu between a rock on one side aud a ditch on thtPotber, and theionly thing for him to do was to jump. He escaped just as the police came up. HU wagon was at once overturned and demolished by the strikers. Officer Force is said to have re'ceived some serious injuries on his legs by rocks thrown by the strikers. The police at a late hour arrested three arch conspirators, Charles Carlson Haudlen, Joe Frank and Eric M. Luudbreen, all of whom are guarded la the county jail by Sheriff Sharley-and a large number of deputies. Frieuds of Carlson claim that he had uothiug to do with the strike. Captain McLaughlin aimed at him twice at close range, but his shots did not take effect. Things have quieted down, but fears are entertained of a renewed outbreak this morning. One-half the militia rested j last uight and relieved the other half this morning. Alfred Auderson was shot three limes | through the thigh. He may die. Wm. Benson, shot through both legs; amputation will be necessary. Fully as Bad as K«port«l. and Worse l ikely to Follow. Dcixth, Minn.. July T.—Daylight does not lessen tbe hideousuess of yesterday's report of rioting, except that bat ono death has occurred instead of five. The other four and two additional are expected to die at any time. Th« wounded will greatly overrun yesterday’s estimate, and it is now estimated that at least fifty people altogether received bullet wounds. Three have bayonet wounds and about a doian were hit by rocks aud bricks. The police injuries include sixteen officers hart, two of whom will be < ff duty some time. The others did not realise their harts until returning to the Central station, when an examination revealed them. A fresh danger threatens to-morrow. The strikers have stolen a lot of dynamite from tbe blasting contractors, and it is believed that in the event of the expected conflict this explosive will be brought into action. The police will watch the strikers with Winchester rifles and revolvers, and the militia will respond in an instant The regular force will all be detailed for this duty, the specials taking care of the quiet portions of of the city. Prominent citizens are offering their services to the police, and if the trouble ooites, the bine coats, sore and wonndod as they are, will be strong enough to take are of it

He was a graduate of Ann Arbor, and screed two terms as county | treasurer. Grief over the death of a member of his family and poor health ! are supposed to hare been the causes. Sequel to a Gama or Crape. Birmingham, Ada., July 8.—While a number of negroes were playing crap on Red Mountain, abore Gate City yestor* day, Henry Nichols shot and severely wounded a white man named Johnson, and fled. The other negroes boarded a train at North Gate City, expecting Nichols to get on the train lower down. Nichols did get aboard near Birmingham, and on seeing his pursuers who were armed he opened Are with a pistol, killing Jack Saunders and Bob Dickson. He was himself riddled with bullets, but jumped from the train and ran some distance before dropping dead. Jack Chaney, a switchman, was seriously wounded during the affray. Wreck** Is a Cat.

Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or thn ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. "Our detached and dislant situation invites us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far distant when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we t Vl.e such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations,* under the impossibility of making requisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peaoe or war, as our interest;, guided by justice, shall counsel.” These are words of wisdoqj, of sound and prudent judgment, of firmness and patriotism, and by these instructions must the Samoan treaty be judged.—Louisville Courier-Jour-nal. BIG-MOUTHED ME. TANNER. The Corporal** £»itrnfan to Cast Reproach 1.1 tho American People. Corporal; Tunner, in his eagerness to cast a reproach upon the American people for their lack of gratitude t6 the veterans of the war, asserted in a recent speech that "at least ten thousand honorab’y discharged soldiers and sailo:it cf the Union array and navy lay down their heads this night on pallets el straw and eat the bread of charity in the almshouses of the United States.” The answer to the general charge is that the Government of the United States pays a pension according to the degree of disability to every honorably discharged soldier who was n ounded or contracted disease in the service and in the line of duty. A itension is also paid to the widows and minor children, and in certain cases to the aged and infirm parents of deceased soldiers. The pension expenditure for the next year will exceed $100;000.000—a g-eater sum than the annual cost of maintaining the vast military establishment of the German Empire on a war footing. As for the specific charge, it would be interesting to learn in what almshouses are the 10,000 honorably discharged. soldiers of whom Corporal Tanner *| teaks. The general Government and. many of the States have established homes in which the honorably din charged veterans are provided wiiib every oomfort, so that if any of them can be found in almahoused their residence there is from choice -other than from necessity. Investigation will doubtless show that most ol these alleged soldiers in almshouses luck the essential requisite of an honorable discharge. Disagreeable at it is to recall the fact, there wlls a d isgraceful horde of deserters, bounty jumpers and maligners during the civ ! war, and it b quite probable that m *:;y of these have finally lodged in the . insbouses of the country. How great in the number of such there b no m< uis of ascertaining, but they must ■ dl be eonfouuded with the veterans * the war.

ro CORRUPT MONTANA. Tli* Utut Plot Hatched bp Harritoa and HU Vila Manager*. So the Dudley and Quay methods are to be adopted in the fall to debauch Montana and win it away from the^ Democratic party. The political signs in the new State have considerably alarmed the President and he has intifcated to Matt Quay that Montana must be looked after; in other words,^ the blocks of five and other methods* must be put in force to prevent three mof) Democrats from being sent to Congress. It is said that the President ancf his manager have outliuod a plan of action calculated to save the new State to the He publicans. It is not known how much of the "fat” of last year’s campaign remains in the hands of the Republican National Committee, but whatever it is, it will be devo ted to the purchase of votes in Montana. 'Should the amount not be sufficient, Sunday-School Wanamaker may be called on again to help the cati& of corruption. It is hardly possible that the rascality of last fall can be repeated this year in any part of the country with success, and that Montana should signalize its entry into the sisterhood of States by submitting to be branded in such a foul manner. Harrison and Quay may plot as they will and regard American voters as purchasable and in the market for the highest bidder. They will find themselves confronted by an indignant public opinion, which will render their iniquitous designs futile. *

The people of Montana mu not allow themselves to be defrauded of their choice of Congressmen, as the Nation was of its choice of President by purchased votes, for they have been warj^Aay the lesson of the last eleotion. Jfthe notorious Dudley attempts to employ his vile arts in the new State he will meet with a far different rece ption from that his agents experienced in Indiana. They have a very expeditious way of disposing of obnoxious characters in the far West.' There is no Judge Woods in Montana to screen Dudley, but a ceitain Judge Lynch, who is very prompt and effectual in his methods. This execrable plot against a new State is befitting an ^ministration that obtained control nf the Government by bribery and A ruption, and is ready, at all times, t^ prostitute the functions of the Government to gain votes. It is rather too early, however, to try again the foul methods that made Republican success possible^ The public mind is still awake to the enormity of the crimes oommitted against the most sacred righto of the American citizen, andthe now conspiracy of Harrison and Quay against tho ballot-box in Mon- - tana will, likely, lead to serious trouble for the Administration.—Albany (N. Y.) Argus. CURRENT COMMENTS. -People who expected Blaine to be the Harrison Administration made r a great mistake.

He is in hard luck. It’s pretty sad to have to worry atong through life without any of these invitations, but to have them showered on you and then to be compelled to decline is infinitely worse. Unhappy lies the head of a popular ex-President.—Chicago Mail (Rep ). -Oaly one member of the Republican Executive Committee in Indiana remains without a Government office, and he has been called to Washington to receive his reward. It is understood his dividend of tho spoils will be the comfortable and lucrative post of Marshal of the District of Columbia. The lot of the office-beggar in a “doubtful State” is a happy one. Something ought to bo done by tht hungry Republicans of Illinois to make their State doubtful.—Chicago Globe. -The Joliet (111.) Press and People says tho Joliet rolling mills subscribed 126,000 to Mr. Quay’s campaign fund last year. Recently the company made a twelve per cent, reduction in the wages of its employes, by which, says the Press and People, “they will recoup $16,000 of that sum.” So the fellows who are getting “practically the sole benefit of the tariff laws,” to quote Mr. Foster, are very generally making tho workmen pay their campaign contributions.— Boston Post
