THE Constitutional celebration was con- tinned at Philadelphia, on Friday, the 16th, when about half a million strangers are Mid to have been in the city. The Presi­ dent, attended by Secretary Bayard, ex- President Hayes and other notabilities, reviewed the employes of the Custom House, and was afterward tendered ajrecep- tion at the Commercial Exchange, whore he made a brief address, urging the im­ portance of a more active interest and par­ ticipation in public affairs by the business classes. From the Exchange the Presi­ dential party proceeded to Broad and "Wal­ nut streets, where they reviewed the great military parade, which was led by Lieuten­ ant General Sheridan. About 30,000 men were in line. A Philadelphia dispatch says: The military parade was under command of Qen. Sheridan. It included nearly So.ouo uni­ formed soldiers, and, taken as a whole, was per- hap» never equaled by any similar demonstra­ tion of modern times. The sounds ol fife and drum early told that preparations were being made for the grand street demonstrations of the nation's protector*. Even during the time of the war of the rebellion there were not as many •oldlers in Philadelphia. The arrival of tbe Presidential party was the signal for repeated cheering, and when the Chief Magistrate made his way to the rostrum at the lower end of the hall "cheering broke oat again, and the names of Secretary Bayard, Governor Beaver, George W. Childa, Mayor Fitter, and A. J. Drexel were also eheered. President Colby introduced the Presi­ dent. The cheering broke out again, and it was some time before Mr. Cleveland could be heard. He said: "I am glad i have an oppor­ tunity to meet so large a representation of the Easiness men of Philadelphia It is well that we should not entirely forget in the midst of oar centennial jubilee that the aim and pur­ pose of good government tend, after all, to the advancement of the material interests Ol the people and the increase of their trade and commerce. The thought has •emetimes occurred to me that in the hurry and crush of business there might well be in­ fused a little more patriotism than we are wont to see, and a little more recognition of the fact that a wholesale political sentiment is closely related not only to the general good but to the general success of business. Of course our citizens engaged in business are quick to 6ee the bearing of any policy which the Govern­ ment may adont. as it affects their personal sucoess and their accumulation. But I would like to see that broad and patriotic sentiment amoag them whicn can see beyond their pe­ culiar personal interests, and which can recognize that the advancement of the entire country is an object for which they may well strive, even sometimes to the diminution of the constantly increasing profits. Mnst we always look for the political opinions of our business men precisely where they suppose their immediate pecuniary ad­ vantage is found? I know how vain it is to for the eradication of a selfish motive in all the affairs of life, but I am reminded that *• celebrate to-day the triumphs of patriotism over selfishness. Will any one say that the Concessions of the Constitution were not well made, or that we are not to-day in the full enjoyment of the blessings resulting from a due regard for all the conflicting in­ terests represented by the different ktates which were united a hundred years ago? I be­ lieve the oomplete benefits promised to the peo­ ple by our form of government can only be se­ cured by an exercise of the same spirit of tolera­ tion for each other's rights and interests in whieh it had its birth. This spirit will prevail when tbe business men of the country cultivate political thought, when they cease to act for their purely selfish and exclusive benefit. I am Of the opinion that there is no place in the country where such a condition can be so properly end successfully maintained as here among the enlightened and enterprising busi­ ness men of Philadelphia. TO SAVE THEIR NECKS. A Gnat Campaign in Behalf of the Anarth- ists--Petitions to the Governor--Herculean Worts to Be Made to Work Up Public Opinion in Favor of Commutation. An arrangements as to future move- ments on behalf of the condemned anarch­ ists have been completed, says a Chicago dispatch. Captain Black has been retain­ ed, or rather continued, as chief coonsel, and no steps whatever will be taken with­ out his approval. He is at present the •nlj lawyer in Chicago who ia authorized to speak on their behalf. It is possible that some of the other attorneys who have been connected with the case in the past may be retained for fntore work, but this has not yet been settled, nor can it be until the treasury of the Defense Commit­ tee has received substanial contributions. The plan, as revised and approved by Cap­ tain Black, comprehends three departments Of work 1. That directly under tbe management of Defense Committee of raising funds and carrying the case to the United Htatea Supreme Court/., it That tinder the management of the Amnesty Association of securing a mammoth petition for Executive clemency and laying the same before Governor Oglesby. 3. That of the woman's Belief hociety of collecting means for tbe support of the families of tbe condemned anarchists. All these departments are now in full blast. The Defense Committee, with Dr. Ernest Schmidt at its head, has sent out an appeal as far as the mails will carry it to labor organizations and socialistic socie­ ties all over the world. It has already sent out one delegate to further this work, and vlll send others in a short tim^ Preferences for President Expressed. NEARLY 400 of the 693 delegates to the Republican State Convention were inter­ viewed at Saratoga, says a New York special. Of them 201 were ontspokpn in nvor of James G. Blaine for President, Cbauncev M. Depew had 23 admirers, Bobert T. Lincoln 19, and Joseph R. Hawley 7. Only four delegates preferred Itoscoe Conkliug. There were a few scat­ tering preferences recorded, and 1(M) de­ clined to express a choice.

Land and Labor Club says: 'The anarchist* will never flourish in New England, because there is too mnoh old Yankee common sense. »" Milwaukee dispatch: "No feeling about the anarchist verdict was expected here. The socialists say bnt little. Robert Schilling, the labor leader, takes the ground that the anarch­ ists are insane and shoald be sent to a lunatic asylum. The Freie Preme, Re­ publican, favors commutation to life imprisonment. Generally, the peo­ ple are satisfied with the decision, especially tbe moneyed classes." St. Louis special: "The news was received on 'Change with a cheer. There are few anarchists in St. Louis now, so far as can be learned, and these express no opinion. Both the Republican and the Globe-Dem­ ocrat have favorable editorial commeut on the action of the conrt. They express the hope that the execution of this sentence 'will wipe the red flag from American soil.' There is some discussion among tho law­ yers, but no one of tliem doubts the law, the facts or the justice of the decision." --St. Paul dispatch: "The decision has given general satisfaction here, though there is some grumbling among a few anarchists. Anarchism has no supporters of prominence here, but American citizens who remember the bloody details of the Haymarket unanimously agree that the decision is just what it ought to be." Indianapolis telegram: "Every­ where in this city people talk of nothing but the decision in the anarchist case. Expressions of approval are general and emphatic. The people think that the de­ cision will have a salutary repressive effect on the socialists here and elsewhere in the United States " Pittsburg dispatch: "The decision caused universal satisfaction in Pittsburg. The announcement was greeted with an almost universal exclamation that it was a righteous decision." A CHICAGO special of Thursday says: "There was a striking contrast in Uie de­ meanor of the condemned anarchists yes­ terday as compared with Wednesday, when the news from Ottawa was upper­ most in their minds. A night's rest and reassuring help from friends on the out­ side acted as a cordial to tho terrible or­ deal through which they had passed, and a settled state of mind was evident on every feature. The prisoners' rela­ tives and friends seemed to be buoyed np from some unknown source, and chat­ ted quite freely during the morning hours. The visitors had read the lengthy opinion of the Supreme Court and called to discuss its salient points. The one hope expressed was that a Federal question oould be made serviceable to get a favor­ able decision from the Supreme Court of the United States with the assistance of some renowned attorney. That Benjamin F. Butler has been in communication with the seven men is well known, but as he has offered them no particular encourage­ ment as yet Mr. George Schilling has been delegated to go East and pay the ereat barrister a visit, and also 6ee Qen. R. A. Piyor and possibly ' Bob' fngersoil before returning." SOUTH. IK Needmore, near Manchester, Tenn., the floor of a school building gave way while a revival meeting was in progress. Sixty or seventy people went down twenty feet, and most of them were severely in­ jured, one man fatally. Ex-Gov. LUKE P. BLACKBURN, after lingering between life and death for nearly forty days, died at Frankfort, Ky., on Wednesday. His wife and children, among them being Senator J. C. S. Blackburn and Dr. Cory I. Blackburn, were at his side. Gov. Blackburn was born in Wood­ ford County, Kentucky, June 16, 1816. He had been married twice, his first wife being Miss Ella BoBwell, daughter of Dr. Joseph Boswell; the second, Miss Julia Churchill, whom he met and wedded in Paris in the fall ef 1857. Dr. Blackburn received his medical education in the Pennsylvania Uni­ versity, and commenced the practice of his profession at Lexington, Ky., soon after. In 1843 he was elected to the State Legis­ lature and served in tbat body for three years, when he resigned and removed to Natchez, Miss. Dr. Blackburn was placed at the head of medical affairs there during the epidemic of yellow fever. With great sacrifice and heroism he went to the rescue of Memphis and Hickman, Ky., in 1878, when those towns were visited by the scourge. It was this act that endeared him to the people of Kentucky and resulted in his nomination for Governor. During his term as Governor he divoted much time to prison reform. After the expiration of his term of office Gov. Blackburn returned to Louisville. A year ago he went to Frank­ fort, where he remained up to the time of onUributedto the local „ the swot $10,000 in ca«h towardUteerec­ tion of a building for the nee of the posts. Gov. Itooe delivered an address of VFeloome on behalf of the people ol Michigan. He was followed by Acting Mayor Prid- geon, welcoming the society on behalf of the oity of Detroit. General Shannon, on behalf of the Army of the Tennessee, re­ sponded briefly, ll was decided to hold the next reunion at Toledo, Sept. 15 and 16, 1888. Colonel Gilbert A. Pieroe w*s chosen for orator. Cincinnati was select­ ed as tbe permanent headquarters of the society, and the annual expense of their maintenance was limited to $300. Gen­ eral Green B. liaum read resolutions of condolence and respect prepar­ ed by a committee in houor of General John A. Logan. They review his record and qualities as a soldier with words of the highest praise, as well as earnest sap- port of President Lincoln in a vigorous prosecution of the war. The resolutions recommend the erection of a statue at the National Capitol to perpetuate the memory of the dead hero. Sympathy was extended to Mrs. Logan and family, and these reso­ lutions, handsomely engrossed, will be presented to them. The following officers were elected: President, General W. T. Sherman; the Vice Presidents inelude General O. M. Poe, Detroit; Major W. H. Calkins, Indianapolis; Major A. Hard­ ing, and Colonel Jacobson, Chicago; Capt. Joseph D. Fagan, Clinton. Iowa; Captain George H. Heuford, Milwaukee, and Gen. L. F. Hubbard, Red Wing, Minn; Record­ ing Secretary, Colonel L. M. Dayton; Cor­ responding Secretary, General A. Hieken- looper; Treasurer, Major General M. F. Force. General K. A. Alger held a recep­ tion for Mrs. Logan and General Sherman, at which about two thousand citizens were presented to the guests. The re union con­ cluded with a banquet at the armory of the Detroit Light Infantry, General Sherman presiding as toast master. THE celebration of the 100th anniversaxy of the adoption of the Federal Constitu­ tion began at Philadelphia on Thursday, the 15th inst., under favoring conditions. It is estimated that '250,000 strangers were in the city. The principal streets were gay with decorations, ana were thronged with eager sight-seers. Tho civic and indus­ trial parade was an imposing affair, about 300 "floats," 12,000 men, 3,000 horses, and 150 bands of mnsio being in line. A Phil­ adelphia telegram says of the grand pa­ rade: WEST.

In the seven corn-surplus States tbe average is 10 per cent, lower than last month. Dakota spring wheat returns are better than before, while from Minnesota. Wiseonsin, Iowa, and Nebraska the reports are a shade worse. AKOTHKR United States representative abroad has fallen into disgrace says a Washington special to the Chicago Herald. This time it is Rule Lelcher, Consul at Rio Gruide de Sul, Brazil. The complaint against Mr. Letcher is a too frequent in­ dulgence in the seductive but intoxicating liquors of that tropical clime, united with an irrepressible desire, after such in­ dulgence, to paint the town a bright vermilion red. In these carousals, it is represented to the State Department, Mr. Letcher is accompanied by such of his American friends residing in Rio Grande as are possessors of similar convivial dis­ positions. One of Consul Letcher's pas­ times, it is alleged, is drawing his revolver and firing half a dozen shots in quick suc­ cession, to the great annoyance of more peaceably disposed citizens. The Brazilian authorities say they cannot arrest Mr. Letcher for these practices owing to the treaty regulations, which grant absolute immunity to consular and diplomatic rep­ resentatives in foreign countries. They have therefore referred the matter to the State Department, with an earnest petition that Mr. Letcher be removed. POLJTICS~ P. H. Ecu,!, of St. Paul, who had been Recused of leaning to Hill for President, ia out in a card declaring for Cleveland. THE New York Republican Convention met at Saratoga on Wednesday. Ex-Mayor Seth Low, of Brooklyn, was the temporary Chairman, and ex-United States Senator Warner Miller permanent Chairman. A full ticket was nominated, with Col. Fred Grant at the head for Secretary of State. The platform "arraigns" the administra­ tions of President Cleveland and Governor HU1, indorses the protective tariff, demands "liberal" pensions for the old soldiers, ad­ vocates restrictions upoo immigration, and favors local option. RAILWAYS' ACIBCOTIAR from the office of the Chi­ cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company announces the following changes: E. St. John has been made General Man­ ager; A. Kimball, heretofore Vice President of the companv, has been appointed As­ sistant to the President; W. G. Purdy, Sec­ retary and Treasurer, has, in addition to these offices, been elected Vice President; J. F. Phillips, late Cashier, has been ap­ pointed Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer. GENERAL. THE city of Detroit had a holiday ap- pearanoe in honor of the reunion of the Army of the Tennessee. Gens. Sherman, , Whipple, Slocum, Dodge, and other no- *«Waa were in attendance. Senator Calmer To give an idea of the enormous proportions of the pageant it may be said at 2 :2u o'clock only seven of the twenty-three divisions had passed by the reviewing "stand, and by the time the seventh division had passed southward the head of the column had arrived on the coun­ termarch, having traveled twenty-three squares south of market street. The march was made •without casualties, further than that an un­ known man dropped dead near Chestnut street, persutnably from heart disease, and a little girl was somewhat injured in a crowd. Among the Governors occupying seats on the reviewing stand were Larrabee, of Iowa; Beaver, of Pennsylvania; Hughes, of Arkan­ sas ; buckner, oi* Kentucky; Thayer, of Ne­ braska; Pennoyer, of Oregon ; Wilson, of West Virginia; Foraker, of Ohio; and Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia The President's party, consisting of the President, Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary Bayard, and Col. and Mrs. Lamont, left Wash­ ington at 4 p. in. in charge of Major J. M. Carson. Before reaching Baltimore' a hot journal delayed the tr&in twenty minutes, which loss was not made up during the journey. At Baltimore a large crowd collected arouna the station and cheered for the Presi­ dent, but he did not show himself. At Wilmington an immense crowd cheered and called for the President. He finally appeared in company with Mrs. Cleveland on the platform and bowed acknowledgments. At Wilmington the Presidential party was met by the Philadelphia reception committee and es­ corted to Philadelphia. The party landed at Thirty-second and Market streets, where city troops were in waiting. Under their escort the party was driven to the Lafayette Hotel. Here a great assembly was gathered anticipating a reception. In answer to repeated calls and cheers the President and Mrs. Cleveland ap« peared on the balcony and showed acknowledg­ ments amid tremendous cheering. "FOREIGN:- A CABLE dispatch says that another per* son has died from the effects of injuries received during the rioting at Mitchells- town, Ireland. Fifty-four constables were injured to such an extent that physicians' services were required. One hundred and fifty civilians were also injured. The polioe at Mitchellstown assert that the trouble was due to the Nationalist leaders shout­ ing for the mob to hold together. The Nationalists are jubilant over the good tight they made. A Tipperarv boy broke through a square composed of twelve policemen, and fought them single- handed. TJie police finally overpowered him, bnt the mob made a rush and rescued him from his captors. Fourteen policemen were injured during the riot and were car­ ried to the hospital. EDITOE WILLIAM O'BRIEN of Ireland, who was arrested at Kingstown, Ireland, was taken to the Mitohellstown jail on Monday. The streets through which Mr. O'Brien was taken to the jail were lined with troops. Stones were thrown at the pol ce escorting him and several of them were wounded. The police then charged the crowd, using their batons freely and injuring many of the spectators. DUBINO a discussion in the British House of Commons of the amendments made in the House of Lords to the coal- miners' bill Mr.Graham (Advanced Liberal) was suspended for refusing to apologize for a derogatory reference to the House of Lords. Mr. Edward Harrington (Nation­ alist) was also suspended. The House at the time was considering tbe amendments made by the House of Lords to the truck bill in reference to weekly pay­ ments of wages in Ireland. Mr. Harring­ ton, after being warned for his utterances during the debate, was ordered by the Speaker to resume his seat. He replied passionately: "I will not resume my seat. You have been watching to pounce upon me ever since I rose. I olaim my right to speak." Mr. Harrington was thereupon suspended, andi retired from the House amid cheers by the Pamellite members.

Hatthlaft Degaa's Death Resulted, and Vtef Are Adjudged to Be tile Murderers. v [Chicago speoiaL) Justice ITasrnder. for the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, sitting at Ottawa, on Wednesday, affirmed the finding of the Crimi­ nal Conrt of Cook County, and thereby sen­ tenced to death August Spies, Michael Schwab, Bamuel Flelden, Albert K. Parsons, Adoiph Fischer, George Engel, and Louis Lingg, found guilty of the murder of Policeman Matthias J. Degan. By the same finding Oscar W. Neebe :oes to the penitentiary for fifteen years. The .ate of the execution is fixed for Nov. II. The crime charged ia the throwing of a dyna­ mite bomb on the evening of May 4, 1886, at a meeting held in Haymarket Square, corner of Randolph and Desplaines streets, Chicago, when seven policemen were killed and B num­ ber more injured. It is undisputed that the bomb was thrown, and that it was tlie cause of Depan's death, but there is not evidence to •how that any one of the defendants had a hand in throwing it. It is conceded that no one of them actually committed the deed. The charge Is that they were accessories before the fact. There are sixty-nine counts in the indict­ ment. 8ome of the counts charge that the eight defendants above named, being present, abetted and assisted in the throwing of the bomb; others, that, not being present, aiding, usedthewotd*n»he,'wtahwaati^^ijjnja tar the homb-throwlng, and immediately the bomb waiuurowjo. It is held tbat the polioe were right in their presence at the meeting. The times were troublous, strikes were everywhere. There bad been trouble at MCCormick's tlie day 1>efore. and tbe circulars whieh celled the meeting were threatening in their character. Ht-nce it wee the duty of the police to be on hand to protect the peace and «> break up the meeting, which was not an orderly one. In view ot the facte presented by the record, the finding is tbat the defendants were engaged in a common conspiracy; that tbat conspiracy was for tbe purpose of overthrowing the law that the mooting was called to further the con­ spiracy, an'1 the bomb-throwing was the result of it; thatOffi .er Degandied from wounds re­ ceived from the explosion of the bomb. Held, that the defendant* are guilty of murder as ac­ cessories before the faet. Justice Mulkey thought there was error Is the record, but not enough to vitiate the ver­ dict. He did not file an opinion. THE FATED 8KVKN HEAR THE NEWS. The scenes at the County Jail yesterday were somewhat exciting. At the morning hour the usual visitations were not disturbed until about six minutes before the signal was given for the anarchists to retnrn tc their cells. It was then that August Spies received a telegram from Carl Axwansl, editor of the Ottawa (German Herald, informing him that there was no hope from tbat quarter. The telegram was passed from une to the other of the condemned men, but its con­ tents was not fully realized when they were ordered into confinement, so tbat there was no opportunity for them to exhibit their feelings to those who were visiting the cage. They had not long to meditate upon the sad tidings, how­ ever, when they were disturbed by missives from newspaper reporters asking the "special favor" of an interview. The old rule still held good. That is to say, an accredited reporter would be admitted to the doors of their cells upon their request. It must probably be admitted that the reporters, generally sneaking, had not won the confidence of the anarchists to a very high degroo, and in this hour of their groat grief the condemned men probably turned to a remembrance of some of their loug-forgotten prayers, and found more consolation therein than from reportorial visits. Ax any rate, they one and all returned the same answer to these applications, to wit: "There is no answer." Tho hours passed wearily, if not sadlv, with the condemned men. The visitor to the cage could easily watch their movements as they f>assed to anil fro in their cells. Lingg appeared ess stubborn than usual. He took down from the shelf in his cell the several little pieces of handiwork which he has made since his con­ finement, and seemed to contemplate them fondly, yet sadlv. He arranged thom before him, THE BASE-BALL WORLD. Detroit Now Lending 1b the Pennaat Baee and Likely to fonlKh Winners. Tbe Press Unjastljf 0&pt. Anion and the White Stockings. Ik* ---* I shoald like to <0 home. There is tldetk* tmtm .1 Mithtel •Sc.hvntt. •betting, or assisting, they advised, enootuv aged, aided, and abetted such throwing. t>ome of the counts charge that said defendants ad­ vised, encouraged, aided, and abetted one Rudolph Schnaubelt in the perpetration of the crime ; others, that they advised, encouraged, aided and abetted an unknown person in the perpetration thereof. The statute on this subject reads r "Sec. 2. An accessory is he who stands by and aids, abets, or assists, or who, not being pres­ ent, aiding, abetting, or assisting, hath ad­ vised, encouraged, aided or abetted the perpe­ tration of the crime. He who thus aide, abets, assists, advises or encourages shall be con­ sidered as principal and punished accordingly. "Every such accessory, when a crime is com­ mitted within or without this Estate by his aid or procurement in this State, may bis indicted and convicted at tho same time as the princi­ pal, or before or after his conviction, and whether the principal is convicted or amenable to justice or not, *nd punished as principal." In considerdtion of this statute the court asks the questions: Did the defendants have a common purpose Or design to advise, encourage, aid, or abet tbe murder of the police? Did they combine together and with others with a view to carrying that purpose or design into effect? Did they, or either, or any of them, do such acts or make such aeclaratlons in furtherance of the common purpose or design as did actually have the effect of encouraging, aiding, or abet­ ting the crime in question? The questions are based on the propositions of law as laid down by the court and sustained by previous decisions" of this and other States. The premises are held that if tho defendants advised, encouraged, aided, or abetted the kill­ ing of Deegan they are as guilty as though they took his life with their own hands. If any of them stood by and aided, abetted, or assisted in the throwing of the bomb, those of them who did so are as guilty as though they threw it themselves. , Joined to this is the charge that the defend­ ants formed a common purpose and were united in a common design to aid and encour­ age the murder of the policemen among whom the bomb was thrown. If they combined to ac­ complish such murder by concerted action tho ordinary law of conspiracy is applicable, and the acta and declarations of one of thom, done in furtherance of the common design, are, in contemplation of law, the acts and declarations of all. This prosecution, however, is not for conspiracy as a substantive crime. Proof of conspiracy is only proper so far as it may tond to show a common design to encourage the murder charged Against the j risoners. It may be introduced for the purpose of establishing the position of the members of the combination as accessories to the crime of murder. Also tho statute abolishes the distinction be­ tween accessories before the fact and principals. By it all accessories before the fact are made principals. As the acts of the principal are thus made the acts of the accessory, the latter may be charged as having done the acts him­ self, and may be indicted and punished accord­ ingly. Following the propositions of law above laid down, the court holds tbat the evidence under them amply sustains tbe charge that the de­ fendants were engaged in a great conspiracy to overthrow the law, and that tbe throwing of the bomb in Haymarket Square on tho evening of May 4 was the direct result of that conspir­ acy. First, there was at that time existing in Chicago an organization of Socialists or An­ archists whose purpose was tho overthrow of all laws which were enacted for the protection of private property. This overtbrowal was to be accomplished by force. The organization was a national one, divided into groups, eighty in all, of which there were located in Chicago, the North Side, with headquarters at No. f>8 Cly- bourn avenue; the Northwest sidn. No. (>!*> Milwaukee avenue; the American. No. 51 West Lake street; the Karl Marx, No. 63 Emma street; the Southwest. No. 611 Throop street; the Jefferson, No. 600 Milwaukee avenue, and Hie Freiheit, on Kherrnan street Schwab, Neebe, and Lineg belonged to tho North hirto group; Engel and Fischer to the Northwest; spies, I'arsons, and Ficlden to the American. Connected with these groups were armed sec­ tions, the Lelir und Vvehr Verein, containing one thousand drilled men, and these soldiers were known by numbers inHtend of names, de­ sire for secrecv being so great. The other armed sections were to be commanded by details from the Lehr und Wehr Verein if called into action. The proof shows that it was this organization, which called the meeting of- May I, during which the bomb was thrown. This bomb was spherical in shapo, filled with dynamite and lighted by a fuse. The globe was of composite metal mainly tin and lead, with a trace of anti­ mony. This composition is n< t a commercial metal, and yet Iiingg was discovered making bombs of exactly tho same material, of the same form, and corresponding so nicely that the nut which fitted the bolt which held the H&vtnarket bomb together, also fitted the threads of other bolts found in Lingg's room, and which were intended to hold together other similur bombs. The evidence also shows that the meeting of May 4 was the result of a previous conference ** which all tbe defendants took part; that the sail for the meeting, the word "ruhe," was P*U"*4 ia two newspapers which some of tlie aild tben appeared to assume an attitude of prayer. A careful observation of the mannerin which he placed his hands and his occasional movement of them told plainly that the iron- hearted German bombmaker had been con­ quered, and was going back to the recollections of an early German-Chri.-tian home and endeav- orlug to recall them for his own consolation in this hour of trial. The reporter called Chief Turnkey Pearce to the scene, and he, compre­ hending its import, turned away without a re­ mark. Engel sat with his lace buried in his hands and did not move during the two hours that he was more or less constantly observed. Fischer passed to and fro in bis cell with the agility and nervousness of a tigress. Fielden was restless, but appeared to be packing up his cell effects as if it were moving day. Schwab sat in plain view of the party in the cage read­ ing a newspaper in a calm, careless attitude. Spies was examining photographs, probably one of Nina, and came to his cell door occasion­ ally with a smile of contempt for those whom the recognized below. Parsons was too sly to render his actions visible. TO THE FKDEBAX SUPREME COURT. The attorneys for tbe condemned men will next make an appeal to the United States Su­ preme Court. The brief in the case has already been prepared. The first point raised is on au alleged error in Judge Gary's rulings conce rning the selection of the jury. In this connection the sixth amendment of the Consti­ tution is quoted • "In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy tbe right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury." The second point raised is regarding the forc­ ible search of the editorial rooms of the Ar- beiter ZeiU.nn. In this connection the fourth amendment to the Constitution is quoted: "The right ot the people to be secure in their per­ sons, houses, papers and effects against un­ reasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated." It is claimed, of course, that the forcing ooenof Spies' desk, whereby the letters of Herr Most were discovered, is a violation of this provision of the Constitution. The third error claimed is that Spies was oompelled to be a witness against himself and against all of the defendants when he was com­ pelled to state whether or not lie had received the famous Most letters. The fifth amendmen to the Constitution is quoted in support of this contention: "Nor shall any person be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." Tho fourth error claimed is supported by the sixth and eighth amendments to the Constitu­ tion, as follows; "In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation ;" and "Cruel and unusual punishment shall not be inflicted." On this head the defense elairu that, while a con­ spiracy to incite may have been proved, a con­ spiracy to use violence was not proved, but that, nevertheless, tho penalties of the latter were administered. The fifth error which the United states Su­ preme Court will be asked to pass upon is the right of the defendants to preach and teach so­ cialism and anarchy. In support of this the first amendment to the Constitution ia cited: "Cougress shall make no laws respecting an es­ tablishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The point may'seem a little far-fetched, but it is proposed to protect the teachers of anarchy and socialism by this con­ stitutional provision. But the point upon which the main hopes of the Anarchists rest with the Supreme Court of the United States is the alleged error concern­ ing the right of the prisoners to hold the Hay­ market meeting. The first amendment to the Constitution is quoted : "Congr.-i-s shall make no laws abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or of the right of the poopio peace­ ably to assemble." It is believed by the attornoys for the con­ demned men that one or more of these errors will be found available for their purpose. The procedure in reaching the United States Supreme Court in the case cannot be deter­ mined until the full text of the State Court opinion is examined. If the latter cite* all constitutional points raised in the record, then the defense will have nothing more to do with that Court, but if, as is often the case, some of th' se points raised are not replied to, then it will be necessary for the attorneys for the Anarchists to apply fo the Chief Justice of the Stato Supreme Court for a certifi­ cate to the effect that the record contains such allego 1 errors. With this certificate, if one be obt lined, and the complete record of the case from Judge Gary's court, and from the Supreme Court of Illinois, application will lie made to one of tbe Justices of the CniUd .states Supreme Court for a writ of error luid supersedeas. If the former is granted, of course tin) latter will be. and the next step will be to argue the case before that court A writ of error may be granted by any one of the Justices of tho Federal hupreme Court. A movement is at once to be Inaugurated to circulate a petit on for Executive clemencv. This was started at t:;e time the verdict iii Judge Gary's court was rendered, but was soon alt. rward dropped until the decision of the Su­ preme Court should be reached. Now it is to be undertaken in earnest. pomcit pnKCAtrnoNS. Ample precautions against an outbreak or violence of any kind on the part of the anarch­ ists have been taken by both the police shrievalty authorities. • - {CHICAGO CORBESFONDKNCJS.] ' ^ Chicago has been somewhat torn np in ft base-ball way during the past week ortwo, the team's defeat in two of three games at Detroit, ccming as it did upon the bad lack that had attended the team from the time it left here npon its Eastern trip last month, tending to discoarage those who had backed the White Stockings as pen­ nant winners. On top of their de­ feats at Detroit they were compelled to knuckle down to* Indianap­ olis in the first game played npon the home grounds for four weeks, snd notwithstanding that the champions whipped the Hoosiers until they fell upon their knees and begged for mercy in the two following games, the Chicago morning papers, or those of them which for a month past have been unfavorably inclined toward the Whites, launched forth into a tirade of abuse against Captain Anson and the club which was uncalled for as it was unjust. Arson was accused of being a "hoodoo," and was advised 'to resign the cap. taincy. Clarksoa, it Iras asserted, would Quit the team and play ball with Boston next jear. Ffeffer and Williamson were also disgusted with An- son, and would not be with the Chicago Club next season. Now, it is a fact that the players which these papers charge with being dissatisfied and hot against Anson are, so far as can be learned, more indig­ nant against the treatment accorded to Anson, both by the public and the press, than iB the big fellow himself. Pfeft'er does not say so, but it is dollars to dough­ nuts that he now very much regrets hav­ ing ever said anything to newspaper men concerning his little trouble with Anson down East. Big Ed Williamson is hon­ estly hot and thoroughly worked up over the attacks upon his Captain and the state­ ment that he will play ball with some other team than Chicago next season. When asked what truth there was in the statement that he would leave the Chicago Club this year, Williamson said: "It is a lie. If the Chicago Club wants my serv ices next year I shall be in the field for them, and can say frankly that I never had any other intention." "You are not at swords' points with An­ son then as the balance of the team are?" "Who says tbe balance of the team are hot at Anson? I tell yon that these dirty attacks on the 'old man' are enough to make any man, who has any sense of fair- nesB in him, hot under the collar. I do not believe there is a man who if asked it he had any thing against Anson would say yes. Pfeffer was pretty hot at one time, but I think he feels differently now. As for myself I would rather plav under An­ son than • any other team captain in the business. What makes me think that there is none of the feeling against him among the men, as certain papers have stated, is that when the crowd gave him the guying they did during the Indianapo- games because of an error or two he made, there was not a man of us, so far as I oould judge from their faces, who would not gladly have stood in the old man's shoes and took part of the guying for him. As for myself I felt so hot over it that I could not see the ball for a minute. It iff*a shame to treat a man as a certain element in the public is treating him, and if it were not for the slurs or the newspapers the public would 'not do it. As for the hired men on the papers who are writing all this Btutf, I supposs they are doing as they are told. There is certainly no foundation for their statements. You ean say for me that the tone of the newspa pers is no reflection of the spirit which ex­ ists among the boys. On the contrary, the majority of us are thoroughly indignant over it all." Just inside the office stood Anson him­ self in conversation with Ed Hnngle. "I see the newspapers have got every­ thing fixed for you next year, Anson," ven­ tured your correspondent. "Yes," said the big fellow, with a smile. "Williamson and Pfeffer are going to leave ns, and Clarkson is going to Boston next year." "I presume that is a faet?" "O, yes. Just about as much a faet, so far as I can judge, as the balance ot the rot these fellows telegraphed to their papers while we were down East. But let me tell vou that if they do go, the Chicago team will play ball right along just the same." "How do yon feel about the rough criti­ cism they are subjecting you to?" "Well, I will tell yon. In the first place I am not working for the public, bnt for the Chicago Bail Club, and so long as the club is satisfied I don't care what the news­ papers say. On the contrary, I like it and hope they will continue to be as windy as they are at present. 1 have an idea that it may all result beneficially to A. C. Auson some day. Meantime I shall handle ray team as I think best, and shall play ball as well as I know how." President Spalding, as may be imagined, is none too kindly disposed toward the men who have started these malicious re­ ports, but us is always the case with him under such circumstances he has kept his temper admirably through it all. "If there was a single particle of truth in it," said he, "1 should have nothing to sav; but for newspapers to deliberately state what they know is not true when they know that such statements are calculated to belittle the team is rough. The team ia not demoralized. Anson has not been brutal toward the men. There are no hard feelings existing between him and his players, and the men whom it has been stated will leave the club this fall, will, so far as I now know, wear the uniform of the Chicago Club next year as they have done this. Clarkson has never had any cause to complain of the treatment ac­ corded him since he has played ball with the White Stockings, and if he has any wish to go to Boston it is because he lives there and would prefer to be near his home--not beoause he has not been well treated here. However, these statements made by the papers are so utterly false and groundless that I scarcely think they need denial. Chicago will play ball just the same right through this season, and other seasons to coma* We shall occupy seoond place in the race this year at the finish, and that will suit me very well under the circumstances." DETROIT IjIKGIiT TO WIN. Detroit is certainly playing great ball, and Beems now to be in a fair way to win the pennant; this year. The return of Baldwin to the ranks strengthens the pitch­ er's box just tbat much, so that the club cannot possibly be weak in that way, and that has been tbe spot Ibnt hag been looked upon with the greatest of fear. With Ben­ nett and Baldwin in the greatest of iorm Battery "li" promises to again become one Of the stand-bys of the Detroit Club. THE UOSTON CLUB. The Boston Club management seems to be in a peck of trouble with its players. The other day nine of the men were fined $'25 each for alleged looso haliits, and now pitdher Badbourn has been suspended. The official notification from the directors informed Badbourn that he was indefinite­ ly suspended because his work had not been satisfactory. "That don't give me a very good idea of what I am to expect," said Bad, in commenting upon his suspen­ sion the other day. "This afternoon I asked them if I am suspended for the rest of the season, but they were not ready to tell me. 1 should like to know if 1 am go­ ing West with th i team. If I am suspended reason given for my suspension ia that my work ha* not kX 111 toU TOawhatifc iooha lice, it looks very much like a scheme to save parte* my salary. I have don® my \e«t every time I stioped into 1 B1*ned » contract *9 • n°t to win every came I played.

It has been impossible (or me to pitch as well under the new rules as under the old ones." "Then you think the change hurt von?" " certainly did, just as it did many of the pitchers. There was Mickey Welsh. .He nas been off and on all summer. Many or the games that have been lost with me in the box were not due to poor pitch inc. but you can t convince the public of that, lhey have got down on me and have influ­ enced the directors, as was natural." Dnr- ing farther conversation liadbourn said* One thmg is very sure. If I am not treated squarely in money matters there will be trouble. Oh, no; I shall do nol Eersona ly. That will be unnecessan,a ave a brotherhood now," NOTES AND COMMENT. * , .RyR?; of tJle ChicagoB, is falling off in his fielding. s Dell Darling has sprouted a moustache. V "Iwmson is a great favorite at home and in the East. Jim Whitney has made four put-outs this season. Over 250,000 people have attended the Boston game this season. McCormick, of Pittsburg, is laid up with rheumat sm and boils. The Detroit cranks have presented ein with a $200 gold watcli aud chain. 1 A. G. Spalding & Bros., the base-ball supply house, sold 1,900,000 base-balls last year, or enough of them to reach from Philadelphia to New York if strung upon a wire side by side. They also made and sold twenty-two miles of bats. Mannger Watkins, of the Detroits, is try­ ing to get up a team to take to California this winter. It includes Getzein and Con- way pitchers, Bennett catcher, Brouthers, Dunlap, Bichardson, Haulon, aud Thomp­ son. A number of those mentioned are disinclined to go, as they think lhey would rather rest during the winter. President Soden, of the Boston Clnb. says that Detroit Las an average attendance at home games of about twelve or fifteen hundred persons. "They want to keep up their big club, with all its high-priced players, and let New York, Chicago, Bos­ ton, and Philadelphia pay for them." Soden bitterly opposes the percentage plan. I have umpired for both organizations, and let me tell you the League is away ahead of the Association," said Umpire Daniels. "To begin with, the League has better batters, and its players see and play ' much finer points. The St. Louis Browns? Yes, they are a wonderful team, but the Detroits can win from them by virtue ot superior batting." This talk about grand-stand playerv SO often used to disparage a good play by a member of a team, ought to be shelved. A player who puts forth his best effort to effect a difficult catch, or makes a grand slide to reach a base, or, in fact, does any­ thing else to advance the interests of his side, deserves applause. He mav work for the benefit of the grand stand", but the spectators like him just as long as he helps his side.--Cincinnati Enquirer. RESTORED TO PUBLIC VOX.

OUR FORESTS. A Suggestion for Their Protection and Preservation. {.Washington special. 1 Chief Fernow, of the forestry division of the Department of Agriculture, after a careful survey of the ground, reaches the conclusion that the forest area owned bj the United Stites Government represents a capital of at least $280,000,000, and that the annual loss by fire will average $8,000,- 000. He proposes t;.at the Government make accurate surveys of this wooded land" and withdraw it from sale and pre-emp­ tion, and that it employ a few trained foresters, with a suitable numbfc of assistants, to protect the tim­ ber from burning and ruin, whioh comes of the indiscriminate use of the as* Th® cost of this system would be incoik*. siderable compared with its benefits. Coin* puting tbe forest area of the State of Coi> orado, for instance, at 5,000,000 of acres, it is not probable that its proper care would call for an outlay of more than $300,000 a year, whereas the forest firda alone destroy at least three times that amount; so that, were one-third of these fires prevented, the saving would wipe out every dollar of expense. Moreover, from the sale of timber the Government would reap a liberal income. Forests can be judicious* ly penned, not only without hurting them but with positive advantage to their pro­ ductive powers. The direction of suc|jf work must be, however, in the hands of sly expert.
