said today : "Twenty thousand soldiers land
ing on the Chilian coast would amount to
comparatively nothing. It would ho but a
short time botoro they were killed or driven
away. It would take nt least . " 0.000 soldiers
to produce unv effect whatever In Chili. The
navy Is notln'rco enough to carry that num
ber of soldiers there , nnd thov woiild have to
hu tinnsporled. The cost would bo enormous
Wur ships might bombard Valparaiso , but
tnnt is nil tlmv could do. The Chilians are

have no doubt but it would como in tlmo , but
not before a good mnny were killed nnd this

W\SMIXOTON- . C. , Jan. 21. The cases of
Samuel Fiolden nnd Michael Schwab , the
Chicago anarchists convicted of complicity
in thu famous Huym.irkot riots and now con-
lined in the Jollct penitentiary under life sen
tence , were up in the United Statessupromo
court today for argument. Solomon , for the
prisoners , maintained that the men not hav
ing boon present when the state supreme
court pronounced sontouco of donth , it wns
a depnval to them of duo process of law and
contrary to tlio provisions ot the constitution
of the United States and likewise contrary
to law In refusing to show the fac.ts.
The chief Justlco suggested that the state
supreme court merely llxcd the time Xor exe
cution.
Mr. Solomon asserted that the court did
moro by recording that tho.porsons were
present. He then made another point by af
firming that there wns no authority by which
the governor of the state could direct the en
forcement of his commutation of sentence.
The power of pardon and commutation were
conferred by law on the governor , but there
was no manner provioud by stittuta for en
forcing imprisonment where ordered in com
mutation of a death sentence , und the gov
ernor in directing such imprisonment h.ul
assumed n newer not vested in him.
Justlco Gray asked if there was anything
to show whether or not the prisoner Had ac
cented the governor's pardon.
Mr. Solomon replied that there was noth
ing whatever to show that such would bo ac
cepted.
The Judge asked if the result would bo that
the men would go free und that a commuta ,
tion would amount to an absolute pardon.
Mr. Solomon admitted this , but maintained
that though commutation might , under the
Illinois laws , bo ordered , no power existed to
enforce the imprisonment ordered.
Mr. George Hunt , attorney general of the
state of Illinois , followed Mr. Solomon In be-
hiilf of the state of Illinois. Ho maintiiined
that the United States supreme court had no
Jurisdiction to pass upon the action of the
supreme court of Illinois. The only allega
tion on the part of the court , whose judg
ment was sought to bo reviewed ,
was a refusal to amend Its record nnd
show that Fieldon nnd Schwab were not
bodily present when the Judgment was ren
dered. This court hnd jurisdiction to review
the tinal resort of the sovural states only
whenever u federal question was involved.
Ho submitted that no federal question was
involved in the record , or that there was no
final judgment to bo reviewed. There wns
simply a decision of the supreme court of
the state ol Illinois on a motion made bubse-
quent to the untry of llnnl Judemcnt in the
original case. Moreover , the supreme courts
judgment was not n condemnation of the
parties , out simply a refusal to interfere with
its own record.
Mr. Hunt then called attention to the fact
that it wns not until tbo next term of court
that tno men filed tlioir objections , and ho
asked when the litigation would and if the
counsel could coma in nt any time and allege
errors in the record. There was no reason ,
ho said , for the presence of the men in tbo
court. There is in the case a sutrcostion that
the two men are subjects of Great Britain
and Germany. Attorney General Hunt said
ho was unnblo to find anything in thu treaties
by which the case could bo affected. A for
eigner stood on no hotter ground than an
American citizen.
General Butltr That is truo.
In the course of this part of the argument
Mr. Hunt Quoted from an utterance or Gen
eral Outlor to the effect that foreigners were
entitled to no greater consideration Uian
American citizens , "and not so much if they
did not behave themselves , " and paid n com
pliment to his opponent by adding that it was
that spirit "which enables him to measure
diplomatic swords with Palmer Stone nnd
not como off second host in thn conflict. "
General Butler arosn and thanking Mr.
Hunt , said : "What is the court to como to if
the foreigners have here , under the treaties ,
exactly thu same rights that wo bavo , but
that when the rights guaranteed by treaty tea
a foreigner are brought in question ho is en
titled to adjudication through the courts of
the United States , and tnnt therefore n
federal question would como up In the
records. "
Thu importance of this statement Is that
it shows the manner in wlilch It IB expected
to establish the jurisdiction of the Unltqd
Slates supreme court nnd its right to review
the proceedings imtho state court.
The attorney general of Illinois then closed
his argument by addressing himself to tbo
claims made in behalf of Schwab , that there
was no authoiity for sending Schwab to the
penitentiary after commutation uf his sen
tence , nnd that the letters directing his COM-
finouont nnd the copies of the court's de
cisions amounted to nothing as authority ,
therefore Mr. Hunt maintained that unless
the pardoning power was regulated by law
the manner of Its oxorelso was entirely a
matter of executive discretion.
Chief Justlco Fuller Hns any application
been maao to tbo sunremo court ot Illinois on
behalf of this "nan on this ground )
Mr Hunt No , sir.
The chief justice Whcro is tha federal
question then !
Mr. Hunt argued that there was none and
said that the claim that Schwab's Imprison
ment , under commutation by the governor ,
was illegal , novel and amusing.
General Butler will make the closing ar
gument tomorrow.

LADIES' NIGHT.

I'll I r rrlrmU IliiiiilHoinrlj.
The llrst gymnastic exhibition of the
Omaha Athletic club was hold last evening.
The lady friends of the members turned out
in full force to encourage the ambitious nth-
lotos in their good work. Every nvnilnblo
Inch of space in the club honso wni llKcd
with the members nnd tiieir Indv friond'i.
After n selection by the orchf-trn , thu
club tug-of-war teamfour men underCnptain
Nicholas , pulled against a picltcd IIMIII of
nvo club members. Two palls were won bv
the club team.
Then folio wed some interesting work on the
parallel bars by Mi-shrs. Zimmerman , Con-
ncry , Martin , Heint/o nnd Anderson. An
exhibition of fancy Indian club .swinging
wns given bv Mr. Meyers , who showed
great skill. Mr. Blair tnen entertained the
audience with an exhibition of very dinicnlt
cluDswincing that olncltcd wnnn applause.
Somn dlfllcnlt and Interesting work on
hoilzontnl bars was done br Metnbors
Hediek , Martin , Ximmonnnn , "Albert and
Prof. Brook icr. Mr. Ximinonnan nnd
Ch.it Kedlck did work which
called forth considerable hearty applause.
A bout at fencing for scientific points be
tween Miss Donman and Prof. Ilongol was
tin ) feature of the evening's entertainment.
Miss Oonman handled the lolls like the expert -
port which -she really is. The lady has been
n pupil of Prot. Ileugol for nearly a year ,
'
and tnkes daily exercise with the foils. Or.
Dospochor and Mr. Smith also fenced n
couple of bouts for points. ,
In tne vaulting contest which closed the
exhibition , Gus Drexel made n leap of 8
feet 8 inches.
The lloor of the oxorclso room wns then
cleared and dancing wns Indulged in until
the usual closing hour arrived. Those enter
tainments will bo repeated monthly.
A new species of the so-called force com
edy has been evolved by the theatrical tink
ers , and the Primrose & West Comedy com
pany presented it at the Boyd theater last
night. It Is named " 3 bolls" nnd is btylcd n
'nautical pantomimic comedy , " which is
about as accurativoly descriptive as the
titles of christeners of farce comedies usu
ally aro.
The performance displays no dramatic
ability worthy the serious consideration of
the critic , but it is a conglomeration of farce ,
pantomime , spociaiXiosand scenic effects that
is reasonably sure to please the masses nnd
make money. It has considerable woikod-
over material , seine of it suggestive ol the
Hanlons' stage business , and oven of poor
old "Ilumpty Dumpty , " but the play rank
ers have added new material and discovered
another combination.
For amusement pure and simple "S Bells"
will rank among the host ol its kind , and the
stuirmg of the second net is ono of the great
est things over attempted in farce comedy.
It represents a ship at sea , and when n drop
is raised it exposes to the audience the in
terior of the vessel with two staterooms in
front. Tno performance is carried on in
those two compartments , nnd a mechanical
contrivance causes the ship to roll from side
to side. Rigging aoovo nnd fitting scenery
in the background carry out the Illusion in
excellent manner. Toward the close of the
Beano a storm aiisos nnd carries away the
rigging nnd everything on deck. The rock-
Inu of the ship begins to increase nnd con
tinues until it rolls entirely over. The ocou
pants of the staterooms have a lively time In
all this turmoil , nnd the curtain goes down
on a roaring audionco. It is a remarkably
effective piece of staging , nnd this act mono
would make the play go with the public.
The Byrne brothers introduce consldoriblo
panlomimlo work and juggling and Tuomas
Browne does some artistlo whistling. The
performance is clean , novel , Interesting and
laughable.
. i .v.vo L .vc'.wK.vr.v.
The modern playwright wno has suffered
at the hands of the critics may puttier some
consolation from reading the pen lashings
which fell to thu share of Oliver Goldsmith
on the production of "Sho Stoops to Con
quer. " j Ono of these learned gentlemen
says ; "Tho drift tends to no moral , no cdl-
llcatlon of any Hind the situationstiowovor ,
are well Imagined , und tnako ono laugh In
splto of I ho crossness of the dialogue , the
forced witticisms , und total Improbability of
the whole plan und conduct. But what dis
gusts mo most is that , though tbo characters
are very gross and aim at low humor , not
ono of them says a sentence that is natural
or murks any character at nil. "
The play had not run n week hoforo the
public began to laugh at the critics nnd with
the author and so they huvo gone on doing
now for over 100 years. That "Sho
Sloops to Conquer" has ronl humor nnd tto
ring of the true metal is cvlrirml by Its being
today as capable of holding an nudlenco and
making them laugh as it was in thu last cen
tury.
It will bo u dollght to lovers of this line
old comedy to hear that Mr. Stuurt Hobspn
purposes this season tn give it u mngnillcent
production with A line cast nnd the most
careful attention to ornate details In the
mounting.
Mr. Stuart Hobson will play the part of
Tony Luuipkln , As It bus buon u long tlmo
since any comedian of Mr. Uobson's ' prom
inence has essayed this role , wo may uxpoct
not only a treat , but a-ruvolatlon.
Mr , Uobson will present "Shu Stoops to
Conquer" Thuridny and Friday evenings ,
Saturday matinee nnd night "Tho Hunrl-
ottu. "
