PARSONS ARRESTED. Her Offirase Consist* in Distributing Copie* of RerHnsband's Address on the Streets. Xns. LTTCT E. PARSONS, wife of A. R. Parsons, one of the condemned anarchists, -5 f-Was arrested at Chicago for distributing ~v Jbandbills oontrary to a city ordinance on that subject. The ordinance reads: . K° person or persons shall distribute, cast, - Ilhrow, or place in, upon, or along any of tbe ., felt eels, alleys, or public places of the city of • • 'Cblctgo any handbills, pamphlets, circulars, ' .• JbooKS, or advertisements for tbe purpose or w ith V ttM Intent of advertising or making known in a 1 , • '{general or promisenous manner any business, , s • •ceupation, profession, medical treatment, med- -, * ' ' seine, or anything -whatsoever, under a penalty if'- <Ot not less than So and not more than 913 for '.^^/•ach and every offense. ^ ' From Mrs. Parsons' actions previous to $"V ttd after her arrest it waa evident that it was her intention to be arrested. Officer Ward of the Central Station, saw her at ;> %ork and requested her to stop, informing ; |»«r that there was an ordinance prohibiting .. '11M distribution of circulars on the streets, . but die paid no attention to his admon­ ition. Three times he told her to plop, saying he would be obliged % arrest her if she did not, but she made no answer to him and paid no heed to his warning. When he finally did put scr under arrest she betrayed no surprise. To every one she met on the way to the • City Hall she gave one, saying: "I am ar­ rested for distributing A. R. Parsons' let- i " tar," evidently hoping thereby to create •r-' tf sympathy, but she failed. She remained in a cell at the Armory until Mr. Bielefield ft the Arbeiter-Zeitung appeared and * iBade a $85 deposit to secure her attend- r- <*noe to court. She was then released. . Staring her stop at the station she had noth- Mgto say. £ . > ANALYZING THE LAGER. ft; ffceGovenuMut About to Parchase Sample* ;t-r ' of Beer for Analysis to Detect Impurities.

Ws" te­ le Coom UNION was packed Monday night, says a New York dispatch, with an- »amhists and socialists.

There was a brilliant gathering at the Academy of Music on the occasion, .and it is pro­ posed to erect a memorial monument to commemorate the celebration. THE stringency in the money market ot New York is discussed from various points of view by leading bankers and merchants ttt that city in interviews with the World. There is a great diversity of opinion as to the causes of the existing scarcity of money, and equally wide differences as to the rem­ edy. A majority of the gentlemen inter­ viewed appear to think that relief can only come from tbe administration or from Con­ gress, but very few of them seem to appre­ hend a serious financial crisis. The New York Tribune declares that the supply of money in the country is abundant for' all legitimate needs, and that the only effect of further inflation would be to stimulate speculation and thereby aggravate the situation. ' • WEST. THE jury in the ease of Fred Munch- rath, Jr., charged with the murder of Rev. George C. Haddock, at Sioux City, Iowa, after bein^ out eighteen hours, returned a verdict ot manslaughter, the extreme penalty for which is eight years in ho penitentiary. The defendant was accom­ panied by his father when he came into the oour -room to hear tbe report of the jury. He was deathly pale, and moved about in his chair, uneasily, it being ap­ parent that he was making a decided effort to appear brave and unconcerned. The announcement of the verdict did not appear to have any visible effect on him, and when his father left the court­ room tbe defendant remained in his chair. Counsel for the defense gave the customary notice of a motion for a new triaL A Sioux City special says: "The verdict is consider­ able of a surprise here, where the facts are all known. The failure of securing a con­ viction in the Arensdorf case, and the ap­ parent lack of interest in the present trial, nas led all to believe that the jury would not do more than disagree. It iB now hinted that Munchrath may be induced to talk." IN the Supreme Court at Ottawa, 111., on Tuesday, Captain Blaok, counsel for Spies et al., made a motion to withdraw the record in the case for thirty days. The mo­ tion was denied. Justice Sheldon said that though frequently made it had never been granted in that court, that an ex-Judge of the Court once by similar motion asked to take the records of a case from the Court House to the hotel, and it was denied. Captain Black was very much excited at the result of this motion and decision at the Court. He consulted Clerk Taylor as to the size of the record and cost. He said that his clients were poor; that there was little if any money in the defense fund to pay for the record, which it is estimated will cost about $4,000. A. B. PARSONS, one of the seven con­ demned anarchists publishes in the Chi­ cago papers an address to the American people. Parsons reviews the decision of tbe Illinois Supreme Court at some length, asserts his innocence of any participation in or responsibility for the Haym&rket massacre, and declares that he does not desire a commutation of his sentence to imprisonment. Captain Black has gone to New York to confer with Gen. Boger A. Pryor regarding the anarchist cases. Gen. Butler declares that he has not been asked to take part in the case, but that he would not hesitate to do so if solicited, and he could see his way clear to be of any real service. A circular printed in English and German has been extensively circulated among Chicago workingmen of the an­ archist type. Several of these circulars came into the handB of the poliee, and as the contents were deemed inflammatory in their character instructions were sent to the various stations to arrest any person found distributing them. PBEJTTDICE against mixed schools, it seems, is not wholly confined to the South. The last Ohio Legislature repealed the statute authorizing the establishment of separate schools for colored pupils. The attempts of the colored children to secure admimion to the white schools have cre­ ated great commotion in various parts of the State, and in some places the schools have been closed. PABSONS' letter "to the American peo­ ple" was the main topic of discussion in labor circles yesterday, says a Chicago1 special of Friday. Its sentiments met with general approval from tbe radical element and from many who are classed as conservatives. The anarchists, however, regard it as a bid for sympathy, and are displeased that Parsons should write and circulate any letter through the "capitalistic press." The Socialist Publishing Company is about to print the Supreme Court decision in pamphlet form, with comments upon what it considers the weak points. The proceeds will be turned over to the De­ fense Committee. Spies was asked what he thought of Parsons' manifet-to to the public. "You must excuse me," he re­ plied, "but I made up my mind long ago not to have anything to say to the news­ papers. I meant it. I don't wish to be discourteous, but it is useless to aBk me anything about the case." Parson* was asked what he had to say about the way the newspapers had treated his appeal to the people. "I've nothing to complain of," he replied. 'Suppose your friends succeed in obtaining a commuta­ tion, will you " "Stop! don't ask me that. I know what you are going to say and I really can't let you go on. I don't want to talk on the subject." Parsona is very quiet and subdued nowadays, and a remarkable change has come over his wife's demeanor. The Amnesty Association is en­ deavoring to secure the passage of resolu­ tions asking executive clemency bsulsbor organizations here and elsewhere, A num­ ber of these bodies have adopted such reso­ lutions. Governor Oglesby is deluged with correspondence' relating to the an­ archists. EXCITEMENT is at fever hest in the little village of Hicksville, Ohio, reports a To­ ledo special, over the expulsion of thirty- three members from the United Brethren Church because of their affiliation with the G.

DAVID KNIGHT, a Baptist minister ot Caldwell County, North Carolina, has de­ serted his wife and twelve children and eloped with his mother-in-law. A FOBT WORTH (Tex.) special Bays the Texas and Pacific east-bound through ex­ press from San Francisco was robbed near Benbrook, where the robbery of June 3 occurred. Two men mounted the cab as the train pulled out of Benbrook and covered the engineer with revolvers. When the train was on a high trestle the engineer was ordered to stop. After pulling up so the express was off the trestle the engineer and fireman were marched back to the express car under guard of two men who were on the grounds when the engine stopped. The leader of the robbers ordered the Pacific express messenger to open his car. Messenger Moloney paid no attention to the order. After a dozen shots were fired into the car the door was opened. One of the robbers entered the car, emptied the safe, and at once started for the mail-car, which was entered Without any resistance. Every reg­ istered letter in the car was secured. There were guards on the train, but they made no show of fight further than to prepare to defend the passengers. The robbers made no effort to enter the passenger coaches. Tbe amount of booty is placed. wJhiah as $30,000. POLITICS. B. F. JOKES, Chairman of the National Bepublican Committee, says it will not meet to select the time and place for the next convention much before January. He has no preferenoe as to the place, al­ though he thinks Philadelphia would be "convenient." THE Massachusetts Democrats, at Wor­ cester, nominated a full State ticket, with Henry B. Lovering for Governor. A plat­ form was adopted congratulating the coun­ try upon "the excellence of the adminis­ tration," declaring that "all the important offices in the civil service should be filled by persons in sympathy with the adminis­ tration," demanding a "revision of the present unjust and burdensome tariff laws," and that the proceeds of the internal rev­ enue tax should be applied to disoharge the burdens arising out of the late war; ex­ tending "sympathy" to Ireland, and favor­ ing the restriction of immigration. GENERAL. DISPATCHES from St. John's, N. P., give particulars of a disastrous gale that destroyed shipping, fishing-gear, wharfing, and caused loss of life. Gov. Boss, of New Mexico, in his an­ nual report, Bays the population of the Ter­ ritory is rapidly increasing. Only thirty- eight miles of railroad have been con­ structed during the year. The mining in­ terests are reviving. Agriculture is ex­ tending, and the great cattle ranches are destined soon to become things of the past. The Governor recommends the repeal of all laws under which lands can be secured without actual settlement and bona fide improvements; also the establishment of a system of storage basins along the upper Rio Grande. * HORACE ALLEN, aged 83, a grandnephew of Ethan Allen, has distinguished himself by propelling a wheelbarrow from Dela­ ware, Ohio, to Albany, N. Y., a distance of 685 miles. GEN. ROGER A. PRYOR said to a report­ er at New York that the form of the appeal in the anarchists' case has not been deter­ mined, but the constitutionality of the Illi­ nois law regarding the construction of the jury will be attacked. This law has been in operation since 1874, and has not yet been passed upon by the Supreme Court. The law of Illinois relating to conspiracy willjaofc enter into the appeal. FOREIGN, A SON of M. Schnaebels, the French Commissary whose arrest last April caused such a stir, has been imprisoned by the German authorities for crossing the fron­ tier near Chemnot and Affixing a treason­ able placard, bearing the tricolor of France, upon a tree by the roadside. A DUBLIN newspaper states that the Britidtl Government has decidcd to put into force the "suppression" clauses of the coercion act, and that over 200 branches of the League will be immediately prohibited from holding meetings. THEBE are some surprises in the vital statistics of Paris for 1886. The births exceeded the deaths by only 52,520, whereas the excess in 1885 was about 85,000. There were 2,949 divorces last year, against 4,277 the previous year. WASHINGTON A REVENtrfi measure is promised in Con gress this winter, on the statement of a Kentucky Democrat, that will give little satisfaction to Mr. Randall's friends. The latter gentleman will probably be taken from the head of the Appropriations Corn mittee and placed where his influence will be neutralized.

The Hires Bays' Festivities Corns to a tloae Amid a BUn «| Glory. The great centennial celebration of t$ie signing of the National Constitution, last­ ing three days, came to a successful termi­ nation at Philadelphia on Saturday, Sept. 17. A Philadelphia correspondent says of the closing ay's exercises: Shortly beAe 9 o'olook a. m. the President, aooompanieOhr Secretaries Bayard and Fair, child, left thVLatayette Hotel and proceeded to the Commissioners' room in the east wing ot the City Hall, at Market and Broad streets. HIs appearance was tbe signal for an enthusi­ astic burst of applause from the enormous crowd in waiting. For on hour and a half the President stood shaking hands with all who approached, young and old, rich and poor. .74 .»* INDEPENDENCE HJX>EI. Promptly at 10:30 the Presidential party started for Independence Square, where the memorial meeting was to be held. Here a grand stand with a seating capacity of 10,000 had been erected. For half an hour before the exercises began the Marine Band, stationed on the east side of the stand, had discoursed music, a chorus of 2,000 children, with 200 men as lead, en, singing a patriotic air. At Just 11:46 the appearance of the President and bis wife at the head of the double column of distinguished vis­ itors oaused a perfect uproar of applause. As they same down the center aisle toward their places in front tbo President leaned on the arm of ex-Minister Kasson, nnd directly behind them came Mrs. Cleveland, leaning on the arm Of Thomas M. Thompson, Chairman of the Com­ mittee on Reception of Distinguished, Quests. Next same Secretary Bayard, Daniel Lamont and wife, and Secretary Fairchild. After the President and Mrs, Cleveland had reached the stand a general hand-shaking with those whom they recognised or were recognized by took place, after which, in response to tbe tumultu­ ous applause of the multitude, they walked side by side to the front railing of the structure and bowed their acknowledg­ ments of the compliments paid them. Among those present on the grand stand were repre­ sentatives of every condition of life. Bide by side were tbe Chief Magistrate, the highest ecclesiastical representatives, the Justices of the highest law tribunal, the minister* extraor­ dinary of foreign powers, the nation'* law­ makers, and representatives of tbe army and navy, and all other departments of civil, mili­ tary, and religious life. At the front of the stand facing south an inclosure was railed off for the President, his party, the speakers, and others. At the front, and suspended so as to be in full view, hung a photocraphlc copy of the original Constitution. At the east of the stand stood the qusftit old high-backed chair occu­ pied by George Washington as the presiding officer of the Cougresa which adopted that hon­ ored and venerated document. Suspended from the back of the choir was another copy of the nation's charter. After all t/ie distinguished people had taken their seats and the cheering had subsided, Bishop Potter arose and, with uncovered head, made the opening prayer. The Bishop read from manuscript. He invoked Jthe divine bless­ ing upon tbe day's proceedings and upon the President and other officials of tbe nation. The prayer was quite lengthy. When the Bishop concluded, General Sheridan with his aid*, fol­ lowed closely by Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan, and a number of Catholio clergymen, marched down the aisle and were heartily cheered. When they had been seated, John A. Kasson made the introductory address of the day. He referred briefly to the object of the celebration, and reviewed the progress of affairs from the time of the drafting of the Constitu­ tion up to the present. Cardinal Gibbon*, clad in official vestments, sat at the side of the speaker, and was one of the most attentive llstnera. At tbe conclusion of Mr^Kasson's ad­ dress tbe chorus sang, "Appeal to Truth." The President then delivered a brief address. While he was Bpeaking the old Liberty Bell rang out the midday hour, every stroke draw­ ing forth a rousing hurrah from the multitude present. Mr. Cleveland paused in his remarks until the final cheer bad been given ana then continued. His address was as follows: "I deem it a very great honor and pleasure to participate in these impressive exercise*. Every American eltisen should on this centen­ nial day rejoice in his citizenship. He will not find the cause of his rejoioing in the antiquity of his country, for among the nations of the earth he stands with the youngest. He will not find it in the glitter and the pomp that bedeck a monarch and dazzle abject and servile sub­ jects, for in his country tbe people themselves are rulers. He will not find it in the story of bloody foreign conquests, for his Government may hereafter, SSSSSRwnte the fath- ** 1* laboceS <» for finur long, 5w|gs with rugge3fr»s^,1^er*^t^gbln • sturdy endeavor, sanctified by a prophetic MMeot the value to posterity ef their raoeess, and ahrsjr* with unflinching faith In th* 1!% .* •' -/ * r „. *n OLD IIBIKTV SILL. elples whioh make the foundation of a govern­ ment by the people. "At last their task was done. It is related that upon the back of the chair occupied by Washington as the President of the convention a ana was painted, and that as the delegates were Signing the completad Constitution, ono of them said: 'I have often and often in the course of the session, and in the solicitude of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now, at length, I know that it is a rising and jnot a setting sun.' ; "We stand to-day on the spot where this rls- ing sun emerged from political night and dark­ ness, and in its own bright meridian light we smark its glorious way. Clouds have sometimes Obscured its rays, and dreadful storms have jmade us fear; but God has held it in its course, and through its life-giving wuruith bus per­ formed his latest miracle in tho creation of this wondrous land and 'peoplo. "As we look down the paBt century to tbe ori­ gin of our Constitution; as we contemplate its trials and its triumphs; as we realize how com­ pletely the principles upon which it is based have met every national neril and every na­ tional need, how devoutly should we confess with Franklin, 'God governs in the affairs of men,' and how solemn should be the reflection that to our hands is committed this ark of the people's covenant, and tfc«t ours is the duty to shield it from impious hands. Wo receive it sealed with the tests of a century. It has been found sufficient in the past, and in all tbe fu­ ture years it will be found sufficient, if the American people will be true to their trust. "Another centennial day will come, and mill­ ions yet unborn will inquire concerning our stewardship and the safety of their Constitu­ tion. God grant that they may find it unim­ paired; and, as we rejoice at the patriotism and devotion of those who lived a hundred years ago, so may others who follow us rejoice In our fidelity, and in our jealous love for con­ stitutional liberty." Tbe President oonoluded his remarks at 12 d5, and on taking bis seat was greeted with a tre­ mendous roar of applause. In' the middle of the cheers the chorus broke into a song, and for a few minutes the nolle was simply deafening. When quiet had been restored United States Supreme Court Justice Miller stepped to tbe front of the stand, and, facing the assembled dignitaries, bepan the delivery of his oration. He held his audience spellbound, and was fol­ lowed with rapt attention. He described briefly the work of forming tbe Constitution and tho objections made to the drawing up of the in­ strument, He also touched on the mode of se­ lecting United States Senators. He closed his address with the recitation of a quotation from Chancellor Kent. During the oration Mrs. Cleveland sat beside Secretary Bayard, who protected her from the sun's rays. Justioe Miller's address occupied one hour in delivery. The new national hymn, whioh was contrib­ uted by F. Marion Harlana, was then reoited by Prof. Murdoch with a chorus of two hundred men's voioes. At 1:40 President Kasson, of the Commission, gently took the arm of Cardinal Gibbons, who, with the glittering sun pouring down upon his Cardinal vestments, and the "red hat" so lately placed upon his head by the venerable Leo XIII., looked his best, and was the recipient of much attention. Aft­ er walking to the front of the stand and paying INK-STAND USED IN his respocts to the thou- SIGNINO THE CON8TI- sands of people who TTJTION. surged in and , around the square, with a bow he turned and, facing the President, and within hearing of all who occupied seats around the circle, offered a prayer to tbe Almighty. He was listened to with the closest possible attention, and upon the conclusion of the prayer the sweet strains of the patriotic "Star- Spangled Banner" broke upon the crowd in volumes from the voices of the grand chorus, accompanied by the Murine Band. An unpressive benediction was then pro­ nounced by Kev. Jere Witherspoon, of Nash­ ville, Tenn. Just as he finished the benediction the leader of the Marine Band signaled his mu- siolans to render a march specially prepared for the ocoasiou. As tbe band struck up, the President and Mrs. Cleveland walked arm in arm to the front of the stand and bowed repeat­ edly to the multitude in acknowledgment of the thunders of applause that greeted them. When the occupants of tbe stand noticed the pair standing a wild rush was made over the chairs to the place where they stood, and the President held a short receptior, shaking hands with all who suoeeeded in reaching him.

Conway came upon what seems to have been the original draft of the Constitution of the United States. It was found among the papers of bis friend George Mason, author of tbe Bill of Bights. The manuscript is liberally annotated by another member of tbe convention, James McClure. Bcribnsr't for September contains nn article on the subject from tbe pen of Mr. Conway, also a fae simile of tbe manuscript Bo far ss Mr. Gladstone was right in calling the Constitution a birth from the brain of man the credit there­ for seems to belong more to Hdmnnd Bandolph than to any other man. Then nnd Now. When the Constitution was framed 100 years ago there were thirteen States in the Union. Now there are thirty-eight, and one vast Territory of (iOO.OUG inhabitants. The popu­ lation of the United States in 1700, when the first oensos was taken, was 8,929,914. It is now nearly or quite 60,000,000/ There were then about 1,000 Federal officeholders in the country. There are now more than 100,000. The total net ordinary receipts of tbe United States in 1792 were <8,001,000. In 1886 they were 9386.439,000. The total net ordinary expenditures in 1799 were •8,900.000. In 1886 they were 6842,483,000.

There has never been a time in the peat the agricultural interests of the country reoeived the recognition that ie given them to-day. Particularly is this true of the great and expanding Northwest, whose rich and fertile lands have year after year, yielded golden harvests to the intelli­ gent husbandmen, and added prosperity and wealth to the oily and country. The •oil and climate of this vast scope of coun­ try embrsoed in the Missouri valley, and reaching away in rich, undulating fields for hundreds of miles from the murky river, are peculiarly adapted to the profit­ able growing of cereel*, especially that of corn. But here, like in many other sec­ tions, farmer* have but imperfectly realized the importaneo of corn cultivation, and the breeding of hogs and oattle. Lately their attention has been attracted to the importance of this industry by the location in the Noithwest of extensive pork and beef packing houses, and especially have they been brought to carefully con­ sider the question in relation to the Com Palace and Jubilee, to be held October 3 to 8, at Sioux City, Iowa, which is in the very heart of the great com-belt of the Northwest. The effect has been electrical. Farmers through­ out Iowa, Nebraska, Dakota and Minne­ sota are interesting themselves in the mat­ ter of a fine display of this cereal with an Corn Palace. enthusiasm that was never felt on any former occasion, and the results must be of Ihe most beneficial nature. It is the pur­ pose to make the display of cereals, espe­ cially that of maise or corn, as complete and attractive as possible, the choicest of samples being selected from this season's oops of the four commonwealths corner­ ing near Sioux City. The building of a Corn Palace was a nappy inspiration, and will tend to bring into general prominenoe the importance of raising this cereal and the rich returns promised, as well as afford an interchange of varieties of seeds and an intelligent personal discussion as to the most profitable way of planting, cultivat­ ing and caring for this crop. The Corn Jubilee goes even further : It will bring into friendly acquaintance thousands of farmers throughout the Northwest, and admit of them becoming better acquainted with the intimate relations they bear to the great commerce of the world, and thus better qualify them to raise such cereals and breed such stock as may beet meet the demands of commerce and prove tbe most profitable to themselves. The Sioux City Corn Palace, inaugurated with small ex­ pectations, has met with such responsive interest and generous encouragement from the farmers of tbe Northwest that the plans first iormed have been enlarged and changed to such an extent thaftt will in every way prove worthy being the nueleus of the corn-belt of the country. Further than this, the enthusiastic encouragement given and general interest taken has led to tbe organization of n stock company, who in the near future will erect a permanent expo­ sition building where annually will be shown the agricultural products of the North­ west--the beets, tbe squashes; pumpkins, oats, rye, barley, but above all--corn. That such an exhibit has awakened a gen­ eral interest among the farmers will not be wondered at. The novel idea of a Corn Palace has been fruitful in illustrating to the farmer that in growing this cereal, con­ suming it himnalf in fat hogs and cattle, for which there will be a market equal to the entire product, offer* him the most certain road to comfortable if not opulent circumstances. The Width of a Tornado's Path. Fortunately the paths of tornadoes are ordinarily very narrow--the widest have a diameter of less than two miles; th© narrowest of only forty feet. In most cases a tornado is seriously de­ structive over a width not exceeding five hundred feet. The length of the tornado's path across the country does not commonly exceed thirty miles, and it generally traverses the distance in about an hour. When the upward corkscrew motion of the outer part of the spiral and the swifter uprush of the air through the central shaft have drained away the most of the warm air which gave birth to the motion, the tornado d'es away. The equilibrium of the air-masses is for a time restored, the heavier air has fallen down upon the surface, and the warm uir, spread­ ing laterally as it attains the level to which it tends, comes into a state of quiet. Assuming the width of the de­ struction brought about by the storm at six hundred feet, and the length of its journey at thirty miles, we find that the area of its devastation amount* to about two thousand acres, or to a square area of about two miles on a side. Over this area the destruction is ordinarily more complete than that whieh occurs in the most sever© earth­ quakes.--N. S. Shaler, in Set'&ffl&r's Magatine, On Pike's Peak. The signal service man on top of Pike's Peak keeps the following in aight of all visitors. No; it does not get lonesome up here. We wish to heaven it would during the tenderfoot season.

As a result, resolutions of that character are submitted at almost every labor meeting, and in many cases the reso* lutions are adopted.

Jatlies Harlan's Views. [Washington telegram.] K Justice Harlan's attention was called to the recent interview with Justice Millar |o Chicago, in which the latter said that any writ of error in the cases of the anarchistf would ordinarily be made to Justice Har« lan, _ Illinois being in the latter's circuit!^ Justice Harlan said he had no information that any application would be made. H# was asked under what circumstances crim-'. inal cases could reach the Supreme Court of the United States from the Stat#? courts. He said, in reply, that he supposed any application for a writ of error to what# ever Justice it should be made wouldl be under Section 70i) It. S., whieh provides among other things that "a final judgment or decree in any suit in the high- •(" court of a State in which a decision in •j suit could be had, where any title, i-ght, privilege, or immunity is claimed under the Constitution or any statute of the United States, and the decision i# against the title, right, privilege, or im­ munity specially set up or claimed by either party under Buch Constitution, may be re* examined and reversed or affirmed in the Supreme Court of the United States upon! a writ of error." He also referred to sec­ tion 710, which provides that cases on wri| of error to revise the judgment of thf- State courts in any criminal case shall hav# precedence on the docket of all oases to which the Government is a party, sxcept only cases which the court may, m its dis­ cretion, declare to be of public importance^ He declined to say anything further on the subject. jDenounclng the Sentence. [Buffalo special.] The Socialistic Congress, which has just oonoluded its sessions here, adopted the . following: p The Congress of the Socialistic Labor party, assembled in Buffalo, although neither agreeing with the tactic* nor with tho principles of the anarchists, nevertheless declares the confirm*?* tlon of the judgment against the eight Chicago anarchists to be on just, to be dictated by prej­ udice and class hatred, and to be an act of class injustice. It is generally admitted that non# of the condemned men threw the bomb, ane our conception of right and justioe if not so developed as that we could fin<| any connection between the teachings of one individual and the acts of an unknown person; for it is a fact that even to-day nobody know* who threw the bomb. We cannot understand bow it was possible toknoW the motive of an unknown person. The meet* ing at which the bomb was thrown was, accord* ing to the evidence, peaceable and would in all probability have ended peaceably if the police had not illegally interfered for the purpoae of disturbing tne meeting. We therefore declare that the decision is an attack upon free speech and the right of the people to freely assemble, and that its execution would be judicial mur- dor. [Elizabeth (N. J.) dispatch ] About seven hundred German socialist! met in Turn Hall to protest against thf hanging of the Chicago anarchists. On the stage was a red flag bordered with blacky and in the center were portraits ef the doomed men. ^Resolutions declaring the sentence an attack upon labor and de* manding a new trial were adopted. [Cleveland dispatch.] About two hundred and fifty anarchists met at a down-town hall and protested against the execution of the seven con* demned Chicago anarchists. They spoke in German and were in favor of blood if everything else failed.
