Chicago dispatch: Anarchist Parsons,
the dark-skinned widow, to-day made
good her boast that she would speak in
Chicago in spite of the poliee. It was
in Waverly hall, one square from Mayor
Roche's office, and is the same place
which was closed against her one week
ago. Four hundred people were crowd
ed into the poky little auditorium, and
scores of others choked up the entrance
and stood upon the chairs. The meet
ing was one called by the socialistic
labor party "to transact business and for
the promotion of socialistic doctrines.
The proceedings opened with the intrO'
duction of a resolution condemning the
police for their recent "lawless" inter
ference with public meetings. The res
olution was unanimously adopted.
first speaker, fie said the employment
of force by workingmej was futile. It
appealed to the lowest instincts of man
kind and was wrong from tue moral, in
tellectual and practical standpoint. Its
impracticability had been demonstrated
in this city by the Haymarket and its
results. I lie liangeu nnarclnsts was
proof enough that force was impractica
ble.
The meeting was then open to any
one who wanted to talk ten minutes
Mrs. Parsons rose. The crowd cheered
when it Baw her familiar fiice. "1 should
like very much some ol these days to
answer the assertions Mr. Morgan lias
mnde against those who aro dead," said
she, "but the ukase has gone forth from
Rocho and Lord Bontiuld, that I am
never to make another speech in Chi
cago, and that I am forever to be de
prived of that right under the constitu
tion. But I cannot sit here quietly and
hear it said that those who are dead and
silent in their tombs had anything to do
with the throwing of the Haymarket
bomb, though in the war against the
tyrants, all things are justifiable. Those
who say anything else are curs. They
were miserable curs who on last Sunday
night allowed themselves to be driven
away from this hall by the police."
Mrs. Parsons then read what pur
ported to be an extract from the speech
of Thomas Jefferson, in which occurred
the following words: "God forbid that
our country shonld be for twenty years
without a rebellion." "Did Parsons or
Spies ever utter anything more revolu
tionary than that?" said Mrs. Parsons.
"I has been said that dead martyrs aro
no good, but their memory is dear to us,
and a perpetual inspiration, because
they died before they would ask pardon
for deeds they did not do. When liberty
shall be crowned with immorality, the
brightest names in her crown will be
those of Parsons, Spies, Fischer and
Engel, who died for her. Cheers. I
am for peace on principle. If you see
two rival armies approaching each other
and take a poll of the men, you will find
that nine-tenths of them are for peace,
but they are borne on by irresistible
forces to the conflict. Before we can
have pence in a society like our own,
rivers of blood will have to run." Ap
plause. The chairman interrupted
Mrs. Parsons and said that her ten min
ntes had expired. A number of detec
tives were present but made no attempt
to interfere. After a number of other
speeches, some iu a decidedly fiery vein,
the hall was cleared and a private meet
ing held by prominent members of the
socialistic labor party." When the con
ference ended it was announced that ar
rangements had been made to continue
the meetings every Sunday afternoon.

ia not vet known. It was
just before Christmas day was being
. 41... .1,. An. atMDr WSS
usuered in iu
coming down the river. Several of the
passengers were sested in the cabin
having s merry time, and with
thought of the impending catastrophe.
Msny of the crew snd psasengers were
asleep when the fire broke out and
spread with indescribsble rspidity.
Tha details of the sufferings sad death
of aome of the passengers are harrowing
in ths extreme.
Clerk Powell wss np stairs at the
time, snd when he saw ths flames he
heroically ran through ths smoks which
filled the cabin snd tried to arouse the
sleeping people. He kicked at the doers
snd in a short time slmost everybody
was awake. Then confusion worse con
founded appeared, and the frantio peo
ple ran to the difierc at exits to make
their escape, but the boat was pried high
with cotton and ths passage wsys were
filled with smoke.
As soon as ths smoks and flames be
rr.M in atart tin the sides ef the beat
Capt. Jolles, the pilot, swung ths boat
for the shore. A full head or steam was
nn nd tha boat soon ran into the bank.
Before she did so, however, shs wss
doomed. All her timber waa furiously
burning.
When the steamer struck the bank shs
bounded sway again and swnng around
and drifted down the stream as she
burned. Then Capt Jolles jumped out
over the cotton hales and, springing into
the river, swam ashore. The sight was
a weired oos viewed from the bsak snd
the town was sroused. Floating cotton,
charred timber and other debris filled
the river snd msny people were strug
clinr in the water for their lives. Some
of them were able to swim ashore but
most of them were so badly burned or
thoroughly exhausted that they strug
gled but a few moments snd then ssnk
to rise no more.
Plaque mins was not slumbering when
the fire broke out, and when the dis
covery was made that the Hanna wss
burning, almost the entire town flocked
to the river bank and watched the ves
sel burn. The struggling unfortunates
who reached the shore were taken care
of, and doctors and others came to their
assistance and tried to alleviate their
sufferings. The City and Central hotels
and private houses threw open their
doors to the ill-fated people, snd fed and
clothed them until this morning. The
survivors telegraphed accounts of the
disaster to their homes.
No one saw Clerk Powell, who dis
olayed much heroism in waking up the
passengers, after he bad rapped at the
doors, and it is quite positive he was
burned to death, and went down with
the steamer. No attempt was made to
save any ef the steamer's books and
papers and everything, together with
the clothes of the crew and passengers,
war. lost. Ths boat burned rapidly after
she reached the bank, and in a very
short time after the alarm was given she
had burned to the water's the hull sank
and nothing was left of the Hanna, but
uie flouting timber and burning cotton.
None of the men could say what was
the oirgin of the fire. The general im
pression, however, is that some careless
smoker threw a cigarette among the cot
ton bales and thereby caused the disas
ter. The death of John Grafton, the
carpenter, was a sad one. He was in the
upper portion of the boat, struggling to
get near the front end. The flames were
twisting and sweeping all about him.
He tried to reach the bow, but dropped
and bnrned to death before the eyes of
the people who were not able to render
him any help.
A special from Flaqne mine gives the
following account of the death of Capt.
Holmes: The brave captain met the
most awful death. He remained at his
post of duty till every chance to save the
Hves of the passengers was gone. Then
he attempted to swim to the shore, but
it happened to be boggy, and he was
seen to make frantic endeavors to extri
cate himself without avail. The bnrn
ing boat was fast neaiing him, and while
he was on his knees in the mud, he put
his hands up to protect his back from
the intense heat. It was aa awful mo
ment for those on shore, who were mak
ing every endeavor to relieve him with
skids and with ropes from the bank.
One man went out to him and placed
a box between him and the flames to
protect him from the increasing heat.
He said:
"Never mind me, I'll be dead in a few
minutes anyway."
He was finally freed from his terrible
situation by tying a rope around bis
body and dragging him on shore, but
too late. He died about half an hour
after being rescued.
Latest reports place the number
known to be last by the Hanna disaster
at five whites and sixteen colored.

OREGON 8WAMP Z.AKDH.
The secretary of the interior to-day
rendered a decision in the case of the
State of Oregon vs. the United States,
which involved about 110,800 acres of land
in the Lake View land district, compris
ing what is known as the swamp land list
number five. It appears from the
records that these lands inured to the
state swamp lands under the act of Sep
tember 28, 1850, as extended by the act
of March 12, I860. Prior to certifi
cation the greater part of these lands
were sold by the state to various par
ties in large bodies. Upon reports of
special agents of the department, certi
fication was finally i'nade. Subsequent
investigation showed that the reports of
two or three agents were false, and that
a large part of the hinds described in
these reports asswampswere really high
and dry. The secretary orders the cer
tification set aside, and directs the com
missioner of the general land office to
prepare nnother-list of which shall con
tain lands only known to be swamp.
Such lauds as arc found to be not swamp
are ordered to fco restored to the public
domain, subject to any rights which may
have been attached to them under the
