The Chicago Troubles.

We make the following extract from Chicago telegrams of the 6th and there is nothing later to change the situation:

Captain O'Donnell made another raid to-day, capturing James Turel. In his house was found one long muzzle loading shot-gun, one six shooting bull dog, a government can of powder, a bundle of German anarchists newspapers, a lot of pamphlets and much other truck showing that the owner belonged to that dangerous class of socialists for whom there is now no rest or safety in Chicago. Another alleged anarchist was arrested to-day, and at his house the police discovered a lot of dynamite, two guns and numerous cartridges. When brought into the station he was so frightened that he almost fainted from fear. His name is Wm. Seliger, 31 years of age, and is a cabinet maker.

The search for persons is going on industriously, though quietly. The police authorities are in possession of certain facts having important bearing on the organization of the anarchists, and feel certain they will eventually capture the dastardly assassin who threw the bomb, but whose identity is thus far unknown. Certain detectives believe that the determination of the socialists to use dynamite Tuesday night was the outgrowth of a plot, in which the spies, Schwab, Fielden and Parsons were the prime movers. All the wounded officers at the hospital with three exceptions rested comfortably to-day and showed signs of improvement. The exceptions were Officers Flavin, Nelson and Jacob Hansen. At the bedside of Officer Flavin sat his wife. He was apparently suffering severely. His right leg was amputated this afternoon. Flavin stood the operation well. He also had a bullet wound in the back. The two wounds together make the case very critical.

Officer Nels. Hansen passed a good night and rested comfortably to-day, but has reached the point where it can be said he will recover.

It is feared Officer Jacob Hansen will die. He is dangerously hurt, has a strong constitution. If he lives he will probably lose a leg.

Officer Mike Madden, who was shot through the left lung by a socialist, Wednesday night, was considered improved.

Leoffel Hart, the young man who shot Madden and received two balls from an officer's pistol, is much worse to-day, and recovery is regarded as impossible.

Young Shoemaker, one of the citizens wounded at the hay market riot, is almost past the need of medicine, and his death is only a question of a few hours.

Officer Larry Murphy, whose foot was blown away by a bomb, and otherwise injured, suffers considerably. His wife is by his bed-side making him as comfortable as possible.

All the other officers were doing well this afternoon.
