As the news of the arrests passed from mouth to mouth on the Btreets it was re­ ceived with greatest surprise. Considerable dynamite, knives, and other destructive weapons were found in possession of the trio, but the form of destruction had not been determined. That part of the plot, so far as ths three men whose blood they desired was concerned, seems to have been left to circumstances. The man­ ner of death might be a thrust from a knife, a bullet from a pistol, or the explosion of adynam-KNML, » Mr. Bontfe'd says that, little by little, he has picked up the story of the plot, and many of its ditiUl* remained to be unearthed.

The distribution of twenty pounds of dynamite gives the "detectives a c!ew to further details. This dynamite was distributed June 3, and it is said thMt many of the old anarchists re­ ceived it. Captain Bonfield thought some of It infch.. be tractd very close to members of the ( < liLi'iil Labor Un on, whioh interested itself in money and sympathy for the Rnarchists during their trial.. It is claimed by the defectives that the present plot will im­ plicate the whole brood of anarchists.

The Indians are thoroughly excited and threaten to exter­ minate all whites in that part of the country. The Indians who are causing the trouble are the worst on the coast, are large, -powerful fellows, and nearly all well armed. Troops have been sent to the scene. ite bomb. Anarchy was not killed when its chiefs were executed. It was not even scotched. Shortly after the first conspirators were convicttd the large groups of the International disbanded. Their members pave public notice that the an­ archists were disorganized. They united in quite a different manner on a much more dangerous plan. They organiz d in small groups. In most instances three sworn friends and determined anarchists constituted a group. No one outside the trio was made acquainted with the plans of the group, and the opportunities for detection were reduced to a minimum. Kach anarchist knew his fellow-members and it became next to impossible for a detective to get into a group. The anarchists also proposed to operate on a different plan. No wholesale murders 'like the Havmarket massacre were to be attempted. They selected their victims and arranged to kill them singly. The .conscience that makes men tender-hearted in desperate deeds t-aved Judge (irinnell's life, and kept Judge Gary and Capt. Bonfield from assassination. In the group arrested were John Hrone; of 2952 Farrell street; Frank Chapek, 498 Twentieth street; and a man named Frank Chebowa, living on Zion's place, a short street between Kigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets, running from Throop to Loomis. John Hronek is one of the dare-devil Lingg type, a relentlessly vicious an­ archist and a notoriety seeker. He was No. 1 of the group, and the evil spirit of it. He has boasted that he was at the Haymarket riot and that he was one of the anarchists who sought to destroy the police on the night of May 4. Among his anarchist frieods he has declared that he was supported by the anarchist organi­ zations. Until recently he has been unemployed, except in a desultory manner. His occupation as a wood-worker has been prosecuted within the last week or two for the purpose, as he has said, of averting suspicion and of proving an alibi should he be suspected of the murders he had planned. The two others were drawn into hispjansb^Hwy^'svehement and persistent Hronek said that the cause of anarchy de­ manded the lives of Judge Grinnell, who as Prosecuting Attorney convicted the eight an­ archists; Judge Gary, who tried and sen­ tenced them ; and Inspector John Bonfield, who Worked up the cases against them. They agreed to kill these men in the order named. Grinnell Was to be assassinated first, Gary next, and the third sacrifice to their vengeance was to be Capt. Bonfield. The methods of dis­ posing of their victims were freely canvassed, but the minuter details have not yet been devel­ oped. After deciding upon the general plan of their murderous campaign the conspirators began to arrange its details. On July 4 they visited Al- dine Square, the pretty park on which Mr. Grin- nell's house fronts, and observed the location. They discussed the question as to whether it would be better to place a dynamite bomb under tbetemse or to execute the deed with*revolver. MARKET REPORTS, • CHICAGO.

He got his anarchistic ideas in Vienna and brought them with him to this country. He is an ad­ mirer of Louis Lingg and as rabid in his notions respecting theories of government. Frank Chapek is a small mau, with a bald head and a full beard, and is about 40 years old. He is also a wood-worker. His anarch­ ism is of a less rampant typo than that of Hronek. • The men were arrested on warrant* sworn out by Capt. Bonfield under the dynamite act. They V'iffi 1 Vwiv-i .52M t '» > JUDGE ORXNXEXX. The conspirators were armed with dynamite bombs, revolvers, and poisoned daggers. The circumstances and the opportunity were to de­ cide which should be used. Hronek carried bombs in his pockets, a 38-caliber self-acting re­ volver, and a poisoned dagger when on his mis­ sion of revenge. Chebowa is a pleasant-faced man of 27 years, and his countenance indicates too much milk of human kindness in his heart for cold-blooded, treacherous murder. Until their plans had reached the 4th of July point of preparation, Che­ bowa had been carried along by the blood-thirsty impetuosity of Hronek. Chebowa said that Hro- nek's plan meant murder--deliberate, dastardly assassination. He was shocked at the prospect. The conspirators had arrauged to assassinate Mr. Grinnell July 14. The mode of the kill­ ing had not been decided, but either a dyna­ mite bomb was to be thrown into his bed-room or explcded beneath his residence, or he was to be enticed to the door and shot or stabbed to death. Mr. Chebowa considered what to do for a day or two, and then made a complete confession to a prominent Bohemian, of which nationality all the conspirators were. He immediately called on Mr. Bonfield and repeated Chebowa's story. Cant. Bonfield pushed his investigations as rapidly as possible, with the assistance of the Bohemian gentleman and two or three mem­ bers of the force who speak the Bohemian lan­ guage. Hronek's love of notoriety and his desperate resolve to avenge the fate of bis anarchist friends led Cax>t. Bonfield to precipitate matters rather than risk Hronek becoming suspicious and murder­ ing one of his victims before he could be apprehended. The Captain with a number of officers surrounded Hronek's house. Captain Bonfield would not risk the lives of his men in attempting to capture Hronek in his own forti­ fied castle, so waited until Hronek came out, when he was immediately arrested. He was completely taken by surprise, and made little show of resistance. A search of his house was made. In his bed were found a 38-caliber re­ volver and a knife with a seven-inch blade which Hronek has boasted is tipped with poison, A half-dozen bombs--some loaded, others empty--were found in the room. The bombs were made of a cast-iron pipe, cut in pieces four inches long. They are an inch and a half in diameter and differ from the gas-pipe bomb in being considerable shorter. Some erere closed at the ends with woodan plugs and had apertures for fuses or caps. A small portion of dynamite In the original packages, labeled ".Etna No. 2," was also found in tbe room. Chapek was captured while IK bed, and made Bo resistance. Chebowa was arrested at his JUDGE OABY. . ; . charged with having in their possession dynamite to be used for unlawful purposes.

Ever since that fateful night the police, who before placed little credence in the strength of the lawleHB mass, have kept spies in those parts of Chicago thickly i>opulaLed by anarchists. Shortly bafo -e the Havmarket riot. ox-Chief Ebersold was induced to take steps toward learn­ ing tbe exnet strength of the organized and armed portion of the mob. The result of the investiga­ tions was appalling. The evidence against Par­ son s, Spies, and others did not reveal to the world half tlio truth. The information came none too soon to the startled heads of thedepcrtmi nt. They saw what the result must be, and nothing was left to be done but to make hasty prepara­ tions to meet the men who would fight with bombs. Information elicited shows plainly, that the armed sections of the anarchists numbered about 2,500 men, fully equiifped'with Winches­ ter rifles, revolvers, dynamite, and bombs. The organization was perfect. The men had loug drilled with padded feet in secret halls, and had practiced bomb-throwing in the woods of Indi­ ana. Besides, they had secured plans of nearly all the buildings and the sewer system, so that the warfare could be carried on from the house­ tops and by placing mines in the streets. The golice had learned the names of hundreds, and new what gun-dealers had purchased the rifles, and after the bomb-throwing searched scores of houses and hardware stores, but not one of the waluablj rifles was found, and the dynamite and bombs had been buried. The execution < f the leaders in the murderous conspiracy serv. d only to increase the hatred of tbe anarchists. But it taught them that greater se recy would have to be observed. It was with deeper determination that they set about Strengthening their ranks until there are upward of five thousand members of the armed groups. All are armed with Winchester rifles, for the numes of the gun-dealers who have secretly purchased these arms are known. They have bombs without number, and dynamite without limit* undoubtedly. They are still possessed of ^the plans of the buildings Mid streets, and that the anarchists will be ready for another test of strength sometime in the future none who know can truthfully deny. Now tho anarchists drill in groups of three and six, knowing each other by numbers, and knowing only one in a limited number of neigh­ boring groups. Orders are paused from the cap­ tain of one group to that of another, and so complete is the organization that it is estimated the entire force could be massed at a given point in a few hours. Me. <httbf*$r Hot PfOiMllinit Oott^tessman L» Foil** «f IfUoonnln Contradicts Mr. Oulkit Onutniag the Tariff of 1887. M THE SIOUX RESERVATION. [Washington telegran.} The wool paragraphs of tbe Mills tariff bill were Use us sed by the House Saturday in committee of the whole. Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio ridiculed the assertion that the effect of the tariff had been to Increase the number of sheep in this country. He thought that the natural fecundity of the flocks huv. something to do with the increase. There hn-*- been an increase in the number of cows. Possi­ bly some protectionist would claim that this was because cheese and butter had been protected. The number of horses had increased; possibly on account of the tariff on curled hair. Swine had increased in numbers. The tariff on bristles might account for this. But mules, upon which there was 110 protective tariff; had also in­ creased. How did the gentlemen account for that? M r. Grosvenor of Ohio suggested that the in­ crease was attributable to the demand for mules in Indiana* Mr. Outhwaite proceeded to urge that the high tariff had no influence upon the price of wool, which was regulated by the law of supply and demand. He quoted s atisties to show that under a high tariff the prlco of wool had steadily declined. He did not claim that the decline was attributable to the tariff but to tbe increased supply of wool. He quoted a remark made to him by a sheep-grower in Ohio, to the effect, that he would surrender all the benefit which he de­ rived from his clip on account of a protective tariff for the privilege of buying one pair of un­ taxed pants. He contended that the woolen manufacturers had nothing to fear from the woolen schedule. The bill presented a fair prop­ osition--a proposition to make a reduction on woolen goods equal to the reduction which would result from putting wool on the free list. Mr. La Fole:,te, of Wisconsin, criticised Mr. Carlisle's speech upon the bill, especially that portion in which the Speaker endeavored to show tho prosperity of the country during the low tariff decade from 1850 to 1800. To do this, said Mr. La Folette, Mr. Carlisle bad recourse to the percentage argument. The trick of the per­ centage argument was that a manufacture might be BO small that any increase would make a per­ cent age showing. The gentleman in selecting the ar.icles upon which to show the percentage of increase had taken care to select those ar­ ticles which, with one exception, were not touched, or only slightly, by the act of 1846. The gentleman had said that the tariff of 1846 had been so beneficial that in 1857 every rep­ resentative from New England who voted at all had voted for a bill making an almost uniform reduction of 20 per cent, and that among them was Justice S. Morrill. He chal­ lenged the gentleman to mention a single re­ duction 011 any important article of manufacture which was mode in the bill of 1857 as it first psBsed the House, when Mr. Morrill and the other New England representatives voted for it. The statement of the gentleman was either in­ excusable blundering or the meanest sort of political pettifogging. Nothing escaped his net; he claimed everything for the low tariff. He bad bot la ends < f the "teeter" in the air at the same time. He trifled with the facts when he Ba d that this country recovered from tho depression of 185/ in a few months. At the conclusion of his sp?ech Mr. La Follete was heartily congratu­ lated by his liepub icon colleagues. Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania* referred to the re­ cent speech of Mr. Kelley, giving an accouut of the interview between himself and Mr. Carnegie in the committee-room. Mr. Scott pronounced the statement made by Mr. Kelley to be a tissue of misrepresentation from beginning to end and made out of whole cloth. Mr. Grosvenor told how he, with other Ohio members, had called upon the Ways and Means (ommittee, when the Morrison bill was pending, "before the star-chamber process of incuoating tariff billB was in­ vented." General Warner, a Democratic number from Ohio, had protested stnitly against any re 'notion of the wool tariff, and 110 dissenting voice was heard. That was two years ago. The Democrats from Ohio are now taking a dish of crow in silence--all except h s colleague from the central district, who now coolly asserted that ho always liked crow. Mr. Grosvenor leferred to the decrease of tho wool industry in Ohio, and the great falling-off in the price of tho wool crop, and sal I it was all due to the menace of the Mills bill. Would any sail < man strike down this great industry for the sake of reducing the re>enue by a few million dollars? . Mr. Ford of Michigan said that it wan tor the country to choose between cheap whisky and cheap clothing. The wool tariff was burden­ some. There was scarcely a breeze when the iron and copper schedules were passed upon. But now, backed by a subsidised press, tbe Re­ publicans tumbled over one another to get to the front and bounce the wool schedule. He didn't believe that the effect of the bill would be to decrease tbe price of American wool. Put all of the protective tariff you please on wool and you could not produce all of the needed varieties of wool. But it taxed tbe manufac­ turer and thereby hurt the farmer's best cus­ tomer. The manufacturers of the country asked the formers to worn and stint and pinch while they took their ease. This was the feast that the farmers of the country wore invited to partake of by the Republican party, but he pre­ dicted that they would reject it hi November. [Applause on Democratic side.] EARNEST POPE LEO. Another Letter from the Holy Father De­ nouncing the Plan of Campaign. A papal encyclical letter has been read in all the Catholic churches in the dioceBe of Dublin. In it the Pope says: I have heard with regret that excited meetings have been held, at which inconsiderate and dan­ gerous opinions regarding the recent papal de­ cree have been uttered, even the authority oi the decree itself being unspared. I have seen with pain forced interpretations put upon the de­ cree, and statements made that it was pre­ pared without a sufficient inquiry having pre­ viously been made. The Pope continues, strongly denying this assertion, saying the de­ cree was based upon the most complete infor­ mation ; that previous to issuing it he had con­ ferences with Irish Bishops on the subject, and sent a tried and trusted delegate to Ireland to inquire into and report on the true condition of affairs. His Holiness reiterates his affection for the Irish people, and says he has alwayB urged them to ke p within the bounds of justice and right. He refers to a communication to Cardinal Mc- Cabe in 1681, adding: "As the neople were led on with gradually in­ creasing vehemence in tho pursuit of their do- sires, and as there were not wanting those who daily fanned the flames, the decrees became a necessity." The Bishops, he says, must remove all mis­ conception and leave no room for doubt as to the force of the decree. The whole system of the plan of campaign and boycotting is condemned as unlawful. Tho encyclical letter is dated June 24. It caused intense dissatisfaction. At Bray people left the church during the reading of the letter. The Work of the Commission a Difficult as Well as Delicate One. The work which the Sioux Commission has laid out before it in Dakota is likely to be especially difficult and intricate. Under the termstof tho act lately approved looking to the reduction of the Great Sioux Rese rvation, the consent 6f two-thirds of the adult male Indians must be obtained, under the treaty of 18ii8, be­ fore any steps look'^ig to the allotment of lands and the opening to settlement of the remainder of the reservation con be taken. The Indians to be negotiated with number in the aggrgate, adult males, women, and children, a little over 2!i,0 M) located at five different agencies. The task would be much lighter if the Hioux to bo negotiated with could be dealt with en masse, but this is impossible. They are split np into small bands, each with its head men and chiefs, each with its own different views and tendencies, and each under the guidance of leadera whose hos­ tilities and jealousies must go to render success­ ful nogotiatious difficult. Lack of knowledge of English and lack of education will still further hamper tho commissioners. Thus at Cheyenne River there are credited 3,000 Sioux, divided into five bands. Of those 880 can read, but only 300 ; has' gene'raliy of them can speak English enough to make them­ selves understood. At Pine Uidge there are 5,000 Sioux, divided Into three bands, the strongest of j which is headed by Red ('loud and a group of bad men utterly hostile to the proposed reduction at the reservation. This Viand contains 4,200 Indi­ ans. But 1,400of the whole number accredited to the agency can read and less than 450 speak Sn» glish. At Bose Bud there are 7,500 Sioux divided into six bands, 175 of whom can read and 170 speak English. At Standing Bock there are on tne rolls 4,550 Sioux, divided into five bands, of whom 500 can read and 175 speak English. At Crow Creek and Lower Brule agency there are 2,-250 Sioux divided into two bands, of whom 480 can read and about 300 speak the English language. There are about twenty different bands with which the commission must nego­ tiate in order to satisfy the vanity and overcome the hostility of chiefs and head men and satisfy the terms of the treaty. The shrewdest ana brainiest of all the Western Indians, they will make no bargain at a disadvantage to them­ selves, and many of them will demand more then the commission can in any way be author­ ized to give. Of the ultimate success at the mission there seems to be no doubt, but tbe task is second to none ever imposed UMB SAY eas- b a s « y t e r t e H o a n y u n d r t t f f l s n l t r , v v \ ; - CROP PROSPECTS. Weather Favorable for the Growing Crops, Corn, Potatoes and Grass Being: Im­ proved. The following is tho weather crop bul­ letin for the week ended Saturday, Julj£ 14, issued at the Signal Office, at Wash- ington: Reports from tbe corn and wheat States of the central valleys of the Northwest indicate that the weather during the past week has been favorable for the growing crops, especially corn, potatoes and grass, which have doubtless been generally improved by recent rains. Kcports from Kentucky and Tertno*see indicate that the weath­ er during the past week has generally improved the condition of com and tobacco. Staple cropj in the Southern States have been very miKih improved by the favorable weather during the past week, and the late conditions are favorable for cotton in South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, and for cane and rice in Louisiana. Kains in the M ddle Atlantic States during the paBt, week slightly delayed harvest work, and have greatly improved the conditions of the growing crops, especially corn aud potatoes. In New Kngland the rainfall and temperature were below the normal during the week, and the deficiency in rainfall will doubtless reduce the yield in the hay crop. In Tennessee and Arkan­ sas local storms and heavy rains injured crops in some sections. The harvesting of oats and flax in Kansas, wheat in Illinois and Southern Michigan, and of hay in Southern Minnesota, has generally been attended by favorable weather. THE PISTOL BALL ROUTE.

This completed the con­ sideration of the essentially tariff features of :' the till (except in regard to such paragraphs as. have been passed over informally), and tne ad---' ['}>!. mlnistrative portion of tho measure was taken,; up. On motion of Mr. Breckinridge (Ark.), an " J" amendment was adopted excluding from the pro-A ' • visions of the section which provides that ad­ valorem duties shall include the value of car-' ' tons, cases, boxes, etc., in which merchan­ dise is imported, such boxes, sacks, or coverings' as ore necessary coverings for machinery. On* motion of Mr. Mills, an amendment was adopted!? fixing Oct. 1, 1888, as the date upon which the re- > peal of taxes on manufactured chewing tobacco, smoking tobacco, and snuff shall go into effect..

Tt.e Fitz-John Porter case wa» resurrected disring the debate, but finally the bill was passed--29 to 21. On motion of Mr. Plumb the Senate receded from its amend­ ment to tbe postofiice bill, known as the subsid / amendment. The Sen-.

The sundry-civil appropriation! bill reported to the Senate has been increased by :> the Kenate committee from $25,300,000 to $27,- 800,000, but is still $6,500,000 leBS than the esti- mites.

The House iu committee of the whole resumed consideration of the Mills tariff bill The internal-revenue feature was pending. The date upon which the bill shall go into effect wae fixed as Oct. 1, 1888. OWING to the fact that Mr. Teller was again not well enough to speak on the fisheries treaty the 18th, the matter went over. The Sen­ ate then proceeded to the consideration of the». Senate bill for the formation and admission into the Union of the State of Washington, to De­ composed of the present Territory of Washing­ ton and part of Idaho Territory. A substitute' • for the bill Confining the area of the new State to- that of the present Territory of Washington was offered, and evoked discussion, but no action was. taken.

Savage, Man- celona, Mich.; C. F. Kalk, Cumberland, Wis.; J. R. Matthews, Menominee, Wis.; F. Swain. Washington, Wis. The Mills tariff bill was again taken up by the House in committee of the whole. On motion, primuline was stricken from the free list. The first para­ graph, which had„been passed over informally, (that placing cotton ties or hoops en the free list) was then considered, resulting hi au amend­ ment being adopted placing on the free list all iron and steel hoops not thinner than No. 20. wire gauge. The existing rates of duty were re­ stored on cement and whiting and pails white. The duty on paris green was fixed at l-'.j per cent, ad valorem.. The pottery schedule, which had been passed over, was then taken up • for consideration. The duty on china, porcelain, earthen, stone, or crockery waro was increasod from 45 to 50 per cent, ad valorem. The next paragraph called up was that relating to green, and colored glass bottles, and the duty was made 1 cent instead of % of a cent per pound. The question of the duty on importtd tobacco was next taken up and pending action the House- adjourned. THE nomination of Samuel J. Bigelow for Dis­ trict Attorney of New Jersey was rejected by the Senate the 19th. Senator Blair introduced a. bill declaring that hereafter no alien shall be ad­ mitted to naturalization until after he shall have been a resident of tbe United State* during the five years immediately preced­ ing the application for naturalization pa­ pers, nor until he shall prove by two reputable witnesses tfeai during these. five years he has behaved as a person of good moral character, and shall also, in the presence of the Judge, speak, read, and write the- English language with such intelligence and fa­ cility as to prove that he has the capacity to transact ordinary business in that language, and by its use to become well informed in the princi­ ples of the Constitution and the duties of an American citizen. No naturalized person, the bill provides, shall exercise the right of suffrage for one vear after receiving his naturalizati 11 papers. Judges are forbidden to try more than twenty naturalization cases per day, and false swearing in sucn cases is declared, to be sufficient cause for the forfeiture of the person's right to suffrage. The following bills were taken from the calendar and passed: The Senate bill amendatory of the act of June 18, 18-SM, as to., postal crimes, declaring non-mailable ail matter on any part of which, exterior or interior, inde­ cent. lewd, defamatory, or threatening delinea­ tions, epithets, or language is written or printed. The House bill supplementary to the Pacific railroad acts, with amendments. This is the >- bill passed by the House on the 3d of March re- " quiring the Pacific Railroad companies to con­ struct, maintain, and operate telegraph lines and to afford equal facilities to all connecting telegraph lines. The amendments merely strike , out tho word "construct" where it occurs. The House disposed of a little minor business, and then went into committee of the whole on the Mills tariff bill. The pending amendment was that offered by Mr. MillB re­ storing the present rate of duty on tobacco. It was agre9d to without division. On motion the present rate of duty was restored 011 pipo<t, pipe-bowls, and all smokers'articles not otner- , wise provided for. The next paragraph takeu np for consideration was that imposing a duty ; of 30 per cent, ad valorem on bonnets, hats, and boods composed of hair, whalebone, or any >. vegetable material.
