Cnioxno , Nov. 1 ! ) . Services In commem
oration of the nnnlvcrsnry of the death of
the five anarchists , Parsons , Spies , Lingg ,
Fischer and Kngcl , were hold today at the
monument erected to their memory inVald -
heltn cemetery. In spite of a. leaden sky ,
from which a cold rain fell steadily turough-
out the day , the services at the graves were
intended by nearly 200 , persons.
The occasion was made notable by the fact
that Samuel Fielden. Michael Schwab aud
Oscar Ncobe , the comrades of the executed
anarchists , who were sentenced to .lollot ,
but pardoned by Governor Altgeld , were
present at the grave. Fiolden and Schwab
were the orators of the day , though It was
said to bo a condition of their release that
they should make no moro anarchistic
speeches. A procession passed through
some of the down town streets. Some
red llags were carried , but each
organization carried a lloral emblem adorned
profusely with red ribbon , upon the stream
ers of which were the usual anarchistic in
scription In "German. Immediately follow
ing the band at the head of the parade , aud
Just In front of the Women's 1/aSalle so
ciety , were six little girls dressed In red nnd
black , One of them carried : i larpo blacic
shield bordered with red , upon which was
the following Inscription in silver letters :
"November 11 Tyranny No God ; No
Lord ; No Slave. "
Each of the five other girls were a red
dress and a wide black fasti , upon which
was inscribed In silver letters the 'name of
one of the live anarchists whoso bodlos llo
under the monument at Waldhclm.
Sell" uli's Aililruo * .
The services began .by the rendition of
"Annlii Irun-In. " tlm favovltn soiiff of Pnr-
sons , and then Schwab delivered his ad-
dross. The earlier portion of his talk was
taken up by nil account of the last night in
jail and tho. execution of his comrades , The
speaker then reviewed the causes which led
up to the Hnymarkot massacre. He spoke
of the workings of the international arbeiter-
buud and of the preparations made by cap
italists against threatened outbreaks of this
organization. Ho said :
"It was this preparation by the capital
istic class which led to the shooting upon
innocent men , women and children , nnd
which caused our leaders to udvisoour followers
%
lowers to arm and.dofcnd themselves. This
advice was , perhaps , foolish and imprudent.
It cannot bo called wise under the circum
stances , for in thd"sphcro of physical power
the capitalists are far superior to the workingman -
ingman , They controlled drilled men nnd
bad nt their command the best aud most
effective engines of destruction.
"Wo defy tlio police to trace the thrower
of the bomb to our ran Its.or to show that
the man who threw it was n workingman.
"Tho action of Governor Altgeld brings to
us the hope that there are yet men of stern
honesty of imrposo who have the courage to
stand for thu truth , aud that there is a
bright future before us in which thu truth
ard right shall prevail. "
Ho concluded his sueech by earnestly
appealing to his audience to submit all
Vy" questions of difference between capital aud
labor to arbitration.
Fl'uliltm'H Quiet Till I ; .
Flcldcn said ' 'You have
: mot to com
memorate the memory of the men who lie
under yonder stone. You have mot hero to
protest against the Injustice of their taking
off , The world knows that if those men had
lived the interests of the capitalistic'- class ,
in keeping the worklngmiin from his own ,
and in constant subjection and misery , would
have been jeopardized. Today wo stand In
the face of a society based uot on equal
rights for the pcoplo , but based
on the rights of privilege , nnd
the only thing that gives us cant-ago
is that here and there a man rises up like
Governor Altgeld , who has the courage of
bis convictions. These mon were men of
law nnd order. They bollovod in peace and
whatever their opinion of the practical solu
tion of these questions , the predominating
thought in the mind of each was for peace.
The future will give them justice. Tno
honest man can afford to wait. I beseech of
you that you go to your homos and resolve to
do your duty in righting this wrong. "

been Informed that the anarchists ot the city
have threatened to ulow up the bourse , have
decided that all strangers will now bo ex
cluded from tlmt bulllllng unless they are
provided with special permits and nro fully
Identified. Three anarchists were arrested
here today at the Instance of the police of
Barcelona , charged with comnllelty In the
recent bomb outrage at the theater. One is
the keeper of a tavern where the anarchists
of t\ils \ city and other parts of Spain liavo
been in the habit of meeting. The tavern
keeper is suspected as having acted as a sort
of postmaster for the anarchists.
It Is reported that at last a clew has been
found of the location of the head center of
the anarchist conspiracy , which Is said to
exist all over ICuropo and to liavo its
branches , at least , in the United States.
In the future no reports of the trial of
anarchists will bo published. This stop It
taken In order to prevent the escape of sus
pects In order that Information outalncd
from convicts may bo used in furthering the
arrest and conviction of other reds.
Threaten Further Oulnigoi.
Thn report received by the police oftlclals
of this city to the effect that anarchists
threaten to blow up the bourse , or stock ox-
change. Is said to bo only ono of a number of
such warnings rocalved by tbo authorities ,
and pcoplo are beginning to believe that
Pallas , the anarchiss executed for attempt
ing the life of General Martinez , had good
ground for saying , almost with
his living breath , that his death
would bo avenged nnd Intimating that
a series of dynamite explosions might bo ex
pected from these in sympathy with the
wild doctrines in winch ho believed. This is
thn moro evident , as it is shown that the
nuitnrltlcs arojloing nil possible to suppress
the real facts In the case , and that it is
gradually becoming apparent , that the gov
ernment Is In possession of most startling
information as to the spread of anarchy in
Spain. Kumrfe has it that a con
spiracy existed , and may still exist ,
to blow up a number of the
most Important buildings in this city
nnd ovorv precaution is being taken to pre
vent further outrages. All tne public buildIngs -
Ings are under double guard , und the police
were never before so active In tracking
anarchists and In following u" , clews in their
possession.

The suggestion that Captain General
Martinez Campos should bo given unlimited
power to act In the case Is received with
general approval. The veteran soldier is
utterly without fear nnd will leave no stone
unturned to crush out anarchy in Spain if be
is called upon to do so.
The government is awaiting with anxiety
reports from other capitals where the Span
ish amoassadors have been asked to.tako
certain steps which may lead , it is hoped , to
combined action against anarchy.

NKW YOIIK , Nov. 12. The World will to
morrow print a letter from ex-Sccretarj-
the Navy Whitney , giving bis views of the
recent elections. Ho says :
"Last Tuesday's voting was , In my
opinion , negative and positive. The result
was a democratic defeat , but not a republi
can triumph. The pcoplo had no Intention
of rescinding their emphatic and well con
sidered repudiation of vicious republican
politics. They could not , however , refrain
from , nnd cannot bo blamed for expressing
their dissatisfaction with existing condi
tions , so they voted against tlio party in
power.
"It is true that the domocratlo party was
not rcsponsablo for the conditions , but they
existed nevertheless. The party to suffer
was necessarily the party in power. The
check , in my view , should be , and I believe ,
will be beneficial in result. After such a
period of distrust as wo have just experi
enced the stability and conditions of
trade are the first essential of a return to
prosperity. Congress owes It to the country
not only to reform the tariff , but to reform It
at once in a conservative and capable spirit.
Redemption of all party pledges Is necessary.
But quick redemption of this greatest of
party pledges is moro than necessiry , more
than sound policy , moro than wUo partisan
ship. It is a patriotic duty. In accordance
with the speed and wisdom with which the
duty will bo discharged will , In my view , bo
the future of the democratic party. "

which occurred in the Belmont Baptist
church , the largest of Its kind on the North
side. It has a seating capacity of 000 and

the pastor , Kov. il. Barbour , announced his
text , which was from Genesis , "Escape for
Thy I.lfo. " Ho linti spoken but a few words
ivucn A. A. Mullen stepped up"to
Iho pulpit and whispered that the
church was on flro. Mr. Barbour quietly
told his audience that circumstances
had afiscn which would compel him to
discontinue the sorvlro and It was his desire
that everybody should leave the church as
quickly and as rapidly as possible. The con
gregation at once began to file out , but as
sparks full from the roof some pcoplo began
to push und crowd at the doors ,
"Keep your scats for a moment , " shouted
Mr , Barbour , "there Is no danger , but don't
crowd the doors. "
This quieted the rising panic. Nobody was
injured.
The lire , which originated from a gas jot ,
damaged the church to ttio extent of $7,500.

5ia Fot'iiTcnNTit STIIEP , >
WASHINGTON. Nov. . . 12. |
Ex-Senator Charles II , Van Wyck of No
brasku took a short walk in the bright , crisp
atmosphere of Washington this afternoon ,
and this evening talked cheerily to 1 UK BEB
correspondent about the result of the elec
tions last week. While tnp ex-senator is not
so energetic physically as ho was before his
recent illness , he has lost none of his mental
vigor. Ho looks upon the recent republican
victory not as the sway of superior Issues ,
but as the result of bad management upon
tbo part of populists and a lack of disposi
tion upon the part of democrats to perma
nently dislodge these who have for many
y'ars ruled Nebrasita.
General Van Wyck believes the populists
might have won a sweeping victory in Ne
braska had they been less conceited and
dogmatic. Ho thinks tbo leaders of that
party have pulled down their temple by
bigotry and n failure to take advantage of
the misfortunes and partj divisions among
the republicans , and democrats. lie says the
populist managers seem to never b3 able to
learn anything from republican or demo-
crntic defeats ; that they will Insist upon
standing by prejudices rattier than score
victories a little out of the traditional lines.
Severe on tlie Nclirnsku I'OJIH.
"Tho populists mean well , " said General
Van W.vck , "but too many impracticable *
from all parties went Into their ranks. Still
moro unfortunate , many of them assumed
control and tried to keep out and cr ush all
who did not swear by tlieir policy. You re-
metnbor they wanted reform and denounced
every ono who didn't see reform as they did.
They wrecked a great movement on the start
by trying to do too much. They were deter
mined to have a subtroasury for agricultural
products and proscribed national banks and
bankers , and even , for a malicious purpose ,
at an annual convention in Nebraska re
solved that any person owning banK stock ,
however small , was not eligible to member
ship in the alliance. Can you wonder suc
cess never came while such idiots were in
the saddle ? Party despotism was then
stronger in the new party than either of the
old ones. There were many good mon who
declined a controversy with that crowd , as
they feared they could not touch filth with
out , being defiled. "
"What about your state judiciary ? " asked
TUB BBE man.
Almiit the Itcuont Campaign.
"Judge Holcomb.who was nominated , " said
General Van Wyck , "was a splendid Judge ,
and a man of his ability and fitness would
honor any party or any state , and he should
have been elected ; but the difficulty is the
people of Nebraska don't seem to destro any
reform or protection on the bencli. They did
secure , a year ago , some fair play by a maxi
mum rate law , but the corporations worked
the courts by mandamus. Then Judge Max
well stood between the railroads and the
people and ho must be destroyed , and ; as Is
too often , the people could be relied on to
help them out , and they did ; aud the blun
ders of the populists did not fail them in an
emergency. When they should have waited
and themselves nominated Judge Maxwell ,
they showed themselves bettor patriots by
insisting , altnough Judge Maxwell wap all
that could bo desired , that they must keep
in the middle of the road and nominate no
ono not a professed adherent in good at.d
regular standing In the party , and tnus put
everything in peril and defeat. "
"Tho democrats are then on top , are
they ! "
"Far from It. The democratic leaders , at
least a portion of them , cannot bo charged
so much with blundering as with malice
aforethought , conspiring with anything and.
everything to accomplish retention of power
in the control of corporations , and their only
ambition seems to bo to have the privilege
of being the tail of the republican party's
kito.
Clinnco for Exporters.
Consuls and commercial agents who have
recently tanen charge of their official posts
of duty and to whom everything practical in
their new lifo is personally striking are
writing theStato department that there Is
just now a great opportunity abroad for the
producers of American groceries. It appears
that those articles , as also hay , manufac
tured grain food and certain articles of vege
tation , have been forycars and are now being
sent to Europe In very poor form.
American travelers in all nnrts of the con
tinent add information to that given by our
consuls upon this point. So superior to the
Unirlish and German groceries are those pro
duced In the United States that the latter
countries arc continually placing upon ihclr
joods the American brand. But when Eng
land and Germany desire to introduce an
especially fine article they ara as sure to
the United States with their inferior goods.
The great trouble with nearly every edible
article exported from t'lio United States is
that it is not put up in delicate and attract
ive form , The French und Spanish and
Italian-speaking pcoplo nro extremely fas
tidious nnd they are never so fond of show
ing their fastidiousness as when they pur
chase an Imported article of food. This fact
is illustrated In every food article Imported
into the United States from those countries.
The English long since learned this fact , and
their canned aim dcsslcatcd food articles are
prepared with greater care for export into
our country than for homo consumption.
The reverse scorns to bo true with our pro
ducers. Instead of exporting to Europe the
most attractive appearing food articles the
idea In most instances seems to prevail that
the poor things should bo sent , to Europe and
no pains should be taken in their prepara
tion ,

WAPIII.XOTON. Nov. 13. Unless ho met with
some delay. United States Minister Willis
has now been in Honolulu ji week , and It Is
not improbable ho has carried Into effect the
instructions ho took with him , which have
been so well kept a secret on this sldo of the
Pacific. If he has done so the steamer
which left Honolulu yesterday will bring
the news of consequent events , aud will
reach an outlet to the rest uf the world with
It on next Saturday.
Whatever course the administration may
have determined upon to necuro the rcstora
tion of the ( jimon , It Is very evident Secretary
Grcshuni docs not expect extreme measures
will hn\o to be resorted to. The course pro
posed to bo pursued seems to bo to request
the United States to give way quietly to the
restoration of the qucnu. The Hawaliaiis In
this city nro very firm In thqlr conviction
that the government will refuse to yield to
any such gentle persuasion as that. They
assert their earnest belief thnt It will re
quire nt least a show of force to induce them
to resign the reins of authority.
Aniitluir Opinion.
But this opinion Is not unanimous among
these familiar with affair ? in the Islands.
It Is pointed out how long and severe n strain
there has been on tlm members of the pro
visional government m the uncertainty that
has beset their position. The nmimer and
purpose of their . .creation.- is uomtcd out ,
shows how dependent they are upon the
United States. The absolute disapproval of
them by this government will be announced
to them by Minister Willis. Whatever out
cry of public sentiment thare Is hero in sym
pathy with them and aga'lust their disposi
tion , they will bo absolutely cut off
from. All they have Is ; Vitally dependent
upon good order and maintenance of law in
the country. Any sort of : assurance of Min
ister Willis that the moral influence uf the
United States government would bo exerted
to maintain a stable government by the
queen aud to restrain it .from such vagaries
and excesses as that of the constitution
sought to bt adopted in January last might
tempt tto provisional government to stop
aside and trust the United States to orotcct
its interests In its own way. This is what
President Cleveland and Secretary Grcsbam
hope for , though what assurances they have
authorized the minister to givc as to future
Influence by this government in the islands
is now not known.

Congressman O'Neil of Massachusetts has

NEW VOHK , Nov. 12. An American who
has only recently returned from Brazil after
a long residence- Hint country , but who In
sists that his iiiimo should not bo used In
anyway , said today :
"Itsocms to mo tlmt It Is an outrage to
enlist man nt this season of the year to po

reigning there. The yellow fever season
commences at Just nbout , this tlmo mid n

throughout nil the section \vhcro the fight

that at least 00 per cent of the men going
down on the Brazilian licet will never return
alive , even should they bo so fortunate as to
escape the hullots and torpedoes of tha in
surgent licet. As our northern winter approaches
preaches the summer becomes hotter anil

of the equator. Even In times of peace in

the months from November to March in

' Besides the heat , the sickening sights
ono tncots daily in the very thoroughfares of
thcso two cities are calculated to turn the
stomach of a stranger. The funerals of the
victims of itho yellow fever , smallpox and
borrl-berrl , a species of African leprosy , nro
seen at the turning of almost every street.
I liavo frequently seen new arrivals among
my own countrymen in the full vigor of
youth and health pass away almost between
the rising and setting of the sun.
"it is not the climate and the prevailing
epidemic that lira most to be fcured. Ttio
most painful and harrowing reminiscences
In my mind consist of what I have seen of
the indifferent brutality of the Brazilian
authorities ' toward foreigners. They appear
to ha'vo an especial pleasure in exercising
this JJbrutallty upon Americans , for the rea
son that Micro is a lack of co-operation
among the American colonies in Rio , whereas
the English , French , Gorman and
other European colonies are gen
erally united. Thcso latter colonies
have been so long established in the country
that they foresee what will happen during
each year's epidemic , and are prepared to
take the very best of care of the now ar
rivals into their own respectivecolonies. .
We are not so well prepared , and the result
Is that when an American fulls sick in a
Brazilian boarding houao or hotel , ho has no
special piaco 10 amny ror syinpaiuy aim care
und docs not realize what his sickness Is
until the health officers are notillud.

"These brutal ofticcrs are so accustomed
to witness th'o sufferings of strangers who
become victims to the climate and Jllth of
ttm cities of the country that it is euro death
to fall into their hands. When strangers
become 111 with smallpox it Is not an unusual
thing , in fact the general case , tbnt their
cases are pronounced yellow fever , desplto
all appeals and protests to the contrary.
Thny are carted off to an overcrowded fllthy
yellow fever hospital , there to bo thrust into
beds , the linens and mattresses of which
have uot been changed or nired since tliolr
former occupants hud left them in most if
not all cases , for their cofllus.
1 have personal knowledge of the fact
that two Americans , employes of a firm of
American manufacturers , who were sent to
Brazil on business for their company , mot
their death through the unscrupulous and
inhuman neglect of Brazilian health author
ities. Thcso men were talccn ill and packed
off to ono of the foul hospitals. Their cases
were pronounced hopeless and they" were
thrust acalnst all entreaty into their coffins
nnd bnrlod before lifo had become extinct ,
and thcso arc only two Instances out of a
onu list of similar occurrences.
"Tho attendants become so hardened and
istluss that they rush human beings iillvo
nto thoircofflns and think ft docs not matter
much if tholr patients are hastened to their
end , as a few hours , more or less , makei no
difference , and then it saves lime und
trouble. Then it is observed to be more
leasing to them to smoke their cigarettes
; han to change ttio bud linen or make any
sort of decent preparation for the new
comers. In the years that have gone by
doubtless thousands of lives might have
been paved in Ulo do Janeiro had proper
treatment been secured lor those who became -
came III. It might well bo written over tlio
entrance of Hlo do Janeiro , 'Abandon all
lope , yo who enter horo. '
No Knowledge of Tliolr Fate.
Knowing thcso facts from an actual
rcsidonco in the country makes me feel sick
at heart \\hcn I road In the papers of so
nany hundreds of American citizens enlist
ing for service down there. If any of these
bravo follows had the slightest idea of what
Is ahead of them , I do not believe they
would be so eager in their dcsho to accbm *
any the Brazilian llcot Into South American
waters. It may bo said they did not intend
to go ashore , but remain on board tliolr
ships. Frequently , however , the harbor be
comes a perfect pest of disease. It is in fact
said that the bad odors and fllth in the har
bors and inner bays tncro cronto anil greatly
ci to the epidemics. Thcro have been
times In Hlo nnd Santos when dozens of ves
sels have been lying Idle for months waiting
to fill up the ranks of crows thnt havu been
decimated by the fuvors. Many instances
have occurred , especially In Santos , where
captains , officers and all the crow have been
cleaned out. Captain Baker and
Captain Grossman , wio ! are going down , have
regulary , for pa&t years , visited these ports ,
and if thov have been at all observant thny
must realize all the risks being taken by the
men who are enlisted for that service.
Wlmt Will llo Their Welcome ,
'They .should remember Unit it Is a very
different matter going down on clean
American merchant ships , which remain in
the harbor but aifawdnys.and going there on
a ship owned and controlled by Brazilians ,
They may bo detained tliero for months , and
thcru probably will bo no hesitation , m
ordering them ashore If their services can
bo hotter utilized there than on board their
ships. The best thing that could happen to
the Americans who go down would bo
to bo blown to atoms by the torpedoes of
Mcllo at onco. It is hardly probable ,
liowcvor , that any such good fortune shall
befall them , for It bus been clearly shown
that the Brazilians can Keep up a fire at one
another day after day for weeks at a time
anil only by the merest accident do they ever
Uo any damage. In my opinion threu or four
hundred trained and courageous Americans
could go down to Brazil and capturenot only
ono side , but both sides taking part in Ibis
conflict. The Americans will go
hit for business , while tTo ! Brazil
ians on their side will probably
wage their customary sleepy and bloodless
warfare. In all the conIIlets which they
have had during recent years they have
scarcely over acrifluoa U life , A liltlo fleet
lighting for her , thooforo , promlrsos to bo u

The Americans' services will bo so greatly

Everybody la the army uud anvy and olyll

whole present trouble , and It really will not

as to which side might win the day in the
present struggle.
I'olxoto Is undoubtedly an autocratic
tyrant who would not bo competent as the
executive of a moribund village In any other
country than Brazil , Ho was placed in
power merely oil account of being a loading
general In nil army that has never seen any
service. Ills spokesman , Ituy Bnrhosa , is a
man whoso patriotism consists In looking
after the spoils of ofllcc. Ho was ono of the
lenders In the bloodless Insurrection which
resulted In the deposition and exile of Uom

tivnsury under the reckless and corrupt ad
ministration of Marshal ito Fohstra , As
secretary of the treasury B.irbosa gathered
around himself a lot of mountebanks aud

"Conservative business men stood aloof
and looked nn with horror , and prepared
themselves for the crush that was Intivit-
nblo. Fora lime , however , Mayrlnckl and
others , whoss credit prior to tbo advent of
Barbosa was on a par with that of a "vng" in
this country , seemed to roll In wealth and
luxuries. Tlioy roared palaces and equipped
them In the most sumptuous manner , em

ruled as the Jay Gould of the now order of
things which had been effected hi Br.i7.il

clared against him.

retains power officials of his owiw inner cir

merce of Brazil disturbed for r. good many
years to come. The only hope for the
country is in the ascendency of some man
who succeeds in forcing himself to the front
by virtue of pure patriotism and creates an
era of political reform and purification hi
the republic of Brazil. The old empcroi1 ,
Dom Pedro , was known to bo u republican

"Since that time capable and honest mon
have stood no show in the councils of tlio
country. It has simply been a light between
the army and navy. Barbosa and uis crowd
of politicians were with the army as long us
that sldo had louway to create now money
and grab everything in' sight. Now that-
their little game is at an end and Mayrlncici
has'bcoirplnood mad house , while the
others arc in jail , they have gone over to the
navy.
Not Half Tolil.
"I could go on and say a great deal more ,
in fact volumes could bo written upon the
subject , but I did not intend to talk at all ,
and was impelled to do so only by a feeling
of Keen solicitation of the fate in store for
so many hundreds ot my countrymen who
are enlisting for service under the Brazilian
flag. They are probably urged by a delusive
hope of finally settling In the country and
having a hotter chance than at homo. The
opportunities thcro are , they will linJ out ,
by no means commensurate with the risks
which they are running , while there is moro
competition in that country botwcon uright ,
active young men from all parts of the world
than can bo found anywhere in the United
States. Any man who has not sufficient in
telligence to make his way hero at homo
certainly can never succeed in accomplish
ing anything in Brazil. Salaries there , on
account of the keen competition for post-
Ions , average very ninch lower than in the
United Slates , whiLo-livlng is a great deal
Higher. All tha necessaries of life are taxed
.o such an extent that to live in any way
decently will cost four times what it does in
New York , which is the most expensive
place in this country to live in. In Brazil
the rate of compensation for work Is kept
owercu on account of so many young men
jdlng out there from England , France , Ger
many and other overcrowded countries. I
loiio that nil the good men who are. going on
this expedition will become Informed of
what is ahead of them and fully realize all
the terrible risks they are going to take be
fore engaging on a thankless task. Their
only reward , oven if successful in getting
thcro , would be a disillusion and disappoint
ment of their hopes. "
