A little trail of blood marked tlie way over the stone lUi;ging to the room where Lingi{ waa carried.

The ex-editor of the .Harm shivered with «xeitemeiit, fear and curiuaity. His face was whit« and bis eyes looked ready to â- tart from their sockets. He was in hia •birt and trousers and a wide fait hut shaded hia face. He hjoked aa if he would have given worlds to know what had hapfwned, but no information was vouch- sated him. It ia believed by aoine of the re{iortera that something waa found on Parsons, although the jail utIiciaU deny thia. I'araons was given a new 'suit of clothes to put on and taken to another cell, where he now is, with two deputies stand- ing guard over him. One of them stands at the back of hia cell and the other at the door. The other men and their ceils were also searched, but Dothing was found.

When the news of the commutation of the sentence of FieUen and Schwab was received at the jail there was an extraor- dinary scene of activity. The news was sent to the relatives of all the condemned men and in a short time they began to arrive at the jail. The first of the womeu to come in was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Schwab waa brought from his cell to the main othce. His wife (juickly advanced to him aii<l throwing her anna about his ntwk burst into tears. Schwab returned thu embrace in a calm manner and soon the two were chatting quietly together. After thia Spiea and Fischer were brought from their cells and taken to the library. Kngel waa brought to the private otlice of Mr. Fol/.. Tliia was done for the pur[X)se of allowing the relatives to take their last interviews^. The first of the women to arrive after Mrs. Schwab waa Miaa Kngel, thu daughter of the condemned Anarchist. When the two Diet in the private othce there waa an outburst of grief which it ia impoaaible to describe. Father and daughter clung to each other and sobbed convulsively. The converaation waa in German aud listened to only by Deputy Uulsen. Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother of August. She had been waiting outside fur ail hour and a half. Her sobs could be heard turough the corridors of the building. She did not slay long in the library with her son, and on her exit from the jail Mrs. Fischer was admitted. She went into the library, and her lamentations were heard above the tramp of the deputies who swaruied about tlie place. But the crown, ing soene of all was the visit of Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife of Spies. She was conducted to the library by Deputy Oelsen. The moment she saw August a complete change in her demeanor was noticed. There was a look, then a gasp, and in a trice the lovers were in each other's anna. The interview lasted nearly half an hour.

At 12.17 the cotlina for the Anarchists, plain black, with but the silver heads of screws for ornaments, were carried to the gallows. A command to the crowd fronting the gallows that they must stop smoking was given at 11.3fi. Whether thia command was given out of humanity to the doomed or a precaution against the appall- iug possibility of any treacherous bomb lighting in the corridor when the fatal moment came, no person seemed awaie. When the ooHiua were brought to the scaf- fold. Sheriff Matsou exclaimed, " Hia will be done." How the nadltta Were Disposed of. The bodies were lowered in the follow- ing order : Spies, Fischer, Kngel and Parsons. All looked natural. The cofiin lids were acrewed down. Paper tabs were pasted on each for identification.

Following close came Fischer, close enough to touch Spies' shroud had hia hand not been pin. ioiied under the white muslin. Fischer's countenance had a [peculiar glisten, totally unlike the ashiness of Kngel's ticavy fea- tures, and iu strange contrast with the dead lack of color in the pinched linea- ments of Parsons- The once jaunty, viva- cious Texau came last â€" a withered old man. Why Thejr Were Hansed. The Judges of the Supreme Court of Illinois in their decision of the case of the Anarchists held tliatr there was a general conspiracy to bring about " a social revolu- tion " by violence aud also a specific conspiracy which was to be carried into effect about May lat, ItkHi. In pursuance of the general plot, even aa early as 1H7'J as many as 1,000 men were drilling regularly in Chicago, and in 1HH6 there were 3,00U who were, as Parsons at the time said, " well armed with rifles and revolvers and would havedynamiteand bombs when they got ready to uaa them." May Ist having been selected by the woikiugmeu as the date fur introducing the eight hour system, it was chosen by the Anarchists as the time for striking the blow because there Would be a large number of men out of work. The proceeds of a ball given by the Carpenters' fnion was turned over to Lingg with which to buy dynamite. The court held that it waa quite apparent that the manufacture of the boiiilts by Lingg waa uniler the auspices of the International Workliigmen's AaaiM-'iatluii. The boiiibs were carried by Lingg and Siliger, who turned informer, to a iiall, where several [H-rsona called and liel|H.>d themselves, aa if knowing that they Aould be there at that time. Tina was on the evening of the ex- plosion, .May 4lli. IHHIi. Two daya before Kngel and Fiai her atteiideil a meeting, and the former submitted a plan for throwing bomba into police staliona and shooting down the police. At another meeting which the same men attende<l the next day a circular written by Spiea was dis- triliiited calling uiHiii wurkinginen to arm and avenge the killing of aix of their nnniher by the (ailice-'as a matter of fact but one had bi'en killed. At thia meeling Kngel'a plan waa foraaecoiid time adopted, and at I' is' lier's siiggeation, it waa at;ree<l that the ap|)earaiice of thu word "Kuhu " 111 the Aril, Her /fitiimj aliould be thu signal that tile revolution had coiiie, and ita dii[iliciition would mean that thu armed men were to repair to certain places and awHil ina:ructioiia from a comniltteu to attack tlitf police atations. The word waa ins -rted in the /.litiinij, by Spiea, ita editor, who alao had charge of the meeting at the llayniaiket. The original plan aeeiiis to have IiiiIkI owing tu thu ap|H^arance of the police at the meeting. Fieldeii waa then api akiiig and had juat uaed tliia language, which lin>l determined the police to break up the meeting : Ynti )i tvu nothini: nioro to dn with tlio law o\- eept to lay liaiida iiii it auil llirottlu il until it inttki'H itN liiat kick. Keep yiuir eye upmi it, llii'utiiu It, kill It, slab it, do evurylbiuR you can tu woiiml It. When the order to diaporio waa given Fielden climbed down from the waugon, aaying : " We are {leaceablo." The bomb waa then exploded and aeveral pistols tired at the police, with the result ol killing one officer outright, fatally injuring six and seriously injuring nearly fifty. Au allusion ia made by the Supreme Court to a poaaible connection between Fielden's remark as he descended from the waggon and the word " ruhi," meaning ' peace," but tins ia clearly a far-fetched idea. Chicago fourteen yearn ago, was always a labor agitator auil had ofteu bjasttd to rei>orters aud othera of the strength and organization of the Auarubibts and had ahown them boinba and dynamite. He had alao written articles for the Alnnn. recomnKodiug that workingmeu should arm themselves, and had given 8|>ecitic instructions as to the manner of niakiii(4 bombs and procuring weapons. He had also in speeches preacril>ed theuieofthe gun and dynamite. He had a part m call- ing the Hayrnarket meeting. August Spied, a native of Uesse, 32 years old aud well educated, camu to America when 16 and worked at various trades before he became editor of the Arheiter XtUung in 1880. Ue had a share in calling the Haymarket meeting. Ue also took part in the meeting which culminated in the attack on McComick'a works. He had written violent articles for the Alarm and /.eitunij. The Reprieved Convict*. Samuel F'ielden and Michael Schwab, the capital sentence of whom haa b«on com- muted by the Governor to imprisonment for life, were the least guilty of the party. The former was born in Manchester, Eng- land, 18-17, and worked in a cottor mill. Then he became a Methodist preacher. He came to America in 18C<! and was a teamater in Chicago. He has a gift ot rade oratory, which has apparently broaght him to ilia present plight. He was the only one of the number upon whom aclergyman exercised any intlueuce. His oCTence con- sisted iu his speeches and writinga, though some of the policemen testified that he tired a pistol that fatal night at the Uaymarket. Ue himself declares that he uever saw Lingg until the latter w<»s brought to jail. Michael Schwab, a 3reamy Bavarian of 34, became a Hocialist while working at the trade of a bookbinder. He came to Ame- rica iu InTi. He was au editorial writer and foreman of the Arbeiter Zeitung. He is a good deal of a scholar, and probably his rvcognitiou of the fact that his talents were not appreciated bad much to do with the lurid writing which chiefly led to hia conviction. Mrs. Parsons, with Mrs. Holmes and the two children of the former, were Released from the station at 2.10 o'clock this after- noon. She looked very sad aud down- hearted. In meek tones she asked a reporter, " Is the bloody business over '" When told that it was she made no answer, but proceeded to explain why she was at the jail. She waa told by a deputy laat night to call at the jail at 8 30 this morning so that tlie children might see their father. At the ap{>oiuted lime she made the re<jueat to be allowed to enter and was sent from one street to another until 10 30 o'ulock. Then she made an effort to pass under the rope aud was orevented. She fre<]uently broke down and sobbed, and as they passed along took her boy more firmly by the hand and walked more rapidly, keeping her head bent down. At 2 30 o'clock this afternoon two Anarchists, giving their names as Charles Loberatein and Uustav Hains.were arrested on the front platform of a llaudolph street car, with a c<jmpanion. They were talking in a very loud aud threatening manner of what they were going to do tu-night, *â-  To get even for the death of their friends and the friends of the laboring man." The passengers on the car became frightened, and many of them got out before the car crossed the bridge. At the corner of Canal street Officer Henry Smith was signalled by the conductor, and jumping on the car he undertook to arrest the men- Lobt-ratein caught the officer by the throat and iiiado an effort to get possession of hia rt-volvt-r. An exciting straggle followed, in which many citizens joined. The two men were at length overpowered and taken to the Deaplaines Street Btation.

A London cable says : The Lord Mayor's banquet last night was attended by lbs principal members of the Cabinet. Lord George Hamilton, responding for the navy, expressed a fear that the firitisk gunboat Waap would never again reach Kogland. The navy bad been strengthened by merchant vessels and the Admiralty were on the eve of au arrsngement witk the colonies which woold materiallx strengthen our defence. Lord Salisbury announce<l that the Got- ernment were coming to a decision witk France on the aubject of the pacific Islands, aud thus a source of quarrel would be re- moved and the prospect of peace almost auured. The task of adjusting th" dif- ferences with the States had been under- taken by a statesman of great ability. Ha waa aware that there waa a certain un- easiness with respect to peaoe ; but he wsi unaware of any grounds for it, as every ruler, Minister and President was sinoers in his desire to maintain peaoe. All the influence of Kngland had beea and would be cast on the side of the nation which worked in the intereata of freedom, legality and peace. Referring to the state of affairs iu Ireland, he said there was a marked improvement ; and be hoped that during the next session of Par- liament more attention conld be given to the general wants of the Kingdom. Among other things, the Government intend to reform Parliamentary procedure. Agaia reverting to foreign affaira, he announced that AyoubKban had surrendered himself, thus removing all danger in Afghanistan to the Indian Kmpire. INUTUEB .*CCOCKT. A London cable says : Lord Salisbury, in a speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet last night, referred to the growing pacific aspect of foreign affairs. He aaid ths agreement with Russia regarding the Afghan frontier, which bad been accepted by the Ameer, removed the danger to the world's peace in those quarters. It had also been the good fortune of the Govern- ment to come to an understanding with France concerning the New Hebrides difB- culty and with regard to some vexed ques- tions concerning the Suez Canal. He aonoanced that Ayoub Khan had surren- dered to the Indian Government. He admitted that political uneasiness existed in Europe, but said he knew nothing that would justify alarm. In view of the competition in forming great arma. ments, it was idle to suppose that peace would be forever maintained, but every present ruler â€" monarch, president or minister â€" earnestly desired peaoe. Refer- riug to Ireland, Lord SaUsbury said they were often told that there would be no legislative actiwty until Home Hule had been granted. But he could assure them that there would be no falling of in activity on the part of those who were upholding , the integrity of the Empire. It was the task of the Government to maintain law and order in Ireland. The new powers of the Government had been in e.\istence only a few months, yet there was already a marked improvement in the conuition of the country. The law was in the steady course of snocesa- fiil operation. The circumstances at the present time gave additional emphasis to the vindication of the law.
