CIIICAOO , Oct. 21. [ Special Telegram to
the BEE. ] " ! ntn opposed to Jail sentences ,
especially now. " These wcro the omlnlous
words uttered In the criminal court of Cook
county by Stute's Attorney Julius S.Grinnell
when sentence was ubout to bo passed upon
ono who had been guilty of a minor Infraction
of the law. But the tone in which it w
said and thu continual cropping out of other
incidents all go to show that as the llth day
of November approaches the authorities of
Chicago urs redoubling their vlgilnnco and
are making every preparation to head off
what they believe to be inevitable unless
such a bold front is shown that the anarchist
clement will realize the folly of such an at
tempt. In plain words the fear is widespread
that there will be an outbreak on the day the
seven convicted "reds' , ascend the gallows ,
and that the scenes which will follow will
muko the horrible Huymarket massacre seem
insignificant. That this is not un exaggerated
view , the words of Mr. Grinnell , quoted
above , show , and only n few days before this
significant utterance ho used almost similar
language , In fact it was far more positive in
its tone. Wo quote the state's attorney ex
actly on the former occasion : "In view of
what is to take place in the Cook county jail
on November 11,1 would prefer that Cotton's
sentence should bo made so us to expire be
fore that dntc , because it Is desirable that
ns few prisoners be in the jail ut that time as
possible. "
/
This feeling of alarm Is not confined to the
authorities. It has spread throughout the
city , anil especially is it manifest in the
neighborhood of the county Jail. This build
ing is not near the business center of the
city , but is located on the North Side , two
blocks away from the river , and running
along the cast side of the edifice is
Dearborn avenue , a street which is
only a few steps to the north
of the gloomy structure , where the
fated seven are incarcerated , and develops
Into ono of thu most fashionable boulevards
In Chicago , lined on either sldo witli costly
residences. In the immediate vicinity of the
jail are long rows of boarding houses.
Usually the locution is considered RO good ,
being scarcely a quarter of a mile from the
great wholesale and retail districts , that
landlords huvo hud not the slightest trouble
In finding temintx. but In the lust two months ,
or since the Illinois supreme court refused to
grant the convicted anarchists u new trial , a
marvelous change has been going on and
house after house has been vacated and the
landlords are vainly seeking In the justice
courts to enforce their broken leases. In
three instances ut least the tenants boldly
declared that they felt that their lives and
those of the members of their families would
bo seriously endangered by residing so close
to the jail. One nervous man declared it to
bo his belief from what ho had seen in
walking the streets toward his homo lute at
night that there was ! u well defined
plotto blow up the Jail with dyna
mite. Others feared that despite
the vigilance of the authorities a mob would
gather November 11 which would seek to
rescue the seven , or ut least precipitate ono
of the bloodiest riots of modern times. There
fore it Is that the sign ' -For Kent" can bo
seen on the doors and windows of dwelling
houses for blocks around the Jail.
The most extensive preparations have al
ready been made by the sheriff and the chief
of police to provide against any such calamity
us is feared , but thu apprehension o'f
. the public is not allayed. Day and night
the ] > ollco patrol the streets adjacent
to the jail. Inside the building a squad of
deputy sheriffs have been divided into three
watches of eight hours each , and the coming
and going of every visitor is closely guarded.
The First and Second regiments of the Illi
nois National guards will bo held under arms
ut their armories the day of execution , and it
is said Governor Oglcsby lias been asked to
order these citizen soldiers to bo in readiness
several days in advance- the time.
Captain Schaack , the sleuth-hound of Jus
tice wno did so much to trace the gigantic s
conspiracy of murder and raplnu for which ,
the "reds" will swing , expresses confidence j
in the ability of the authorities to tide over
the hanging without trouble. But those who
are in n i > osltlon to know say that Captain i
Schuuck assumes a confidence ho.is far from i
feeling and that ho feels that his own life )
U dally In peril. Wherever ho goes
ho is shadowed by detectives. Even '
when ho walks the streets in the
crowded business section in broad day
light ho is not lost sight of by his guardians
for a mlnuto so strong is the feur that an
assassin may bo lurking in wait for him.
Judge Gary goes calmly to and from his
judicial labors , evidently without fear , and
the same can bo said of State's Attorney
Grinnell , but it is n fact nevertheless that ut
the earnest solicitation of their personal
friends detectives are also watching them ,
although Judge Gary strongly protested
uttainst any safeguards being thrown orouiul
him and Mr. Grinnell Uuighei' '
at the report that he was belli ) :
cared for so well. Business men share tin
apprehension. There is most reliable infer
tnatlon that in the wholesale district armi
mid ammunition have been provided in i
number of cases and preparations made t <
barricade the buildings on short notice. Al
together the outlook for November 11 is no
a cheerful ono for the residents of Chicago.
Inspector John Bonfield , of the ( lolieo force
Is also hated by the friends and sympathizer *
with the condemned anarchists and precau
tlons have been taken to protect his llfo
The anarchists claim that Bonllcld is largel' '
to blnmo for the massacre in the Haymnrkc
and that ho , if anybody , should IHJ hangc <
for what took place that fatal night. The' '
i soy ho hud bceji given orders by both Mayo'
Harrison and Chief of Police Kbcrsold t <
send his men home and that both of hi
superiors then loft the Desplaincs street sUi
tlon. Then they claim that Bonfield , i :
order to keep himself before the publlo am
gain u reputation , ordered out his men am
proceeded to disperse what llttlo there wa
loft of the crowd. Then It was that som
weak-brained Individual threw the fatu
bomb. The anarchists say that bad Bonficl
obeyed his orders there would hav
been no collision and that ha
there been- any conspiracy ever
sympathizer with the cause would have bee
provided with u bomb and have blown off th
fuooof the earth every policeman preset !
that night. Bontlcld is very uniwpuhir wit
the masses , us he has on several occasion
brutally clubbed people and compelled hi
men U ) do the uanio thing. Ho always Just
fled his course by saying that such action wu
necessary to prevent riots.
Last night the friends of the condemn ?
held a meeting in Battery D to protest agalm
the carrying out of the sentence. The nice1
Ing was quiet and orderly , but as un indlcatio
of the precautions taken by the authoritlc
it may be stated that all of the policewh
were not absolutely required on the street
wcro held In reserve in the stations. Aboi

o'clock nnd the anarchists were released from
their cells nnd talked to the visitors through
the wire lattices of the cage. The shortness

AVKSTKIIN WATERWAYS.
Proceedings of the Convention In Ses
sion at Memphis.
MEMPHIS , Oct. 21. In the waterways con
vention this morning ex-Governor Stuunnrd ,
of Missouri , was Installed as permanent
chairman and made un able speech. Pending
the retirement of the committee on rcsolu
lions , the convention was entertained by
speeches , among the orators being Judge
Pendergust , of Chicago ; Hon. Jehu Bukcr , of
Illinois , and Colonel W. A. Percy , of Missis
sippi. Tlic latter gentleman's speech occu
pied two hours and was u powerful presenta
tion of the merits of the river and harbor
bills , which method of legislation the speaker
urged the convention to stand by at all haz
ards and not to consent to disassociate the
Mississippi river nnd other great streams
from the smaller channels of commerce.
In the afternoon the committee on rcsolu
tions reirartcd. The resolutions are quite
lengthy. Their salient points uro as follows :
Declaration of river improvement conven
tions at St. Louis in October , IbSl , at Wash
ington , D. C. , in February , 1884 , and ut New
Orleans In April , lS.r , are confirmed ; failure
of appropriations to continue improvements
of western waterways is recalled with reprct
and meets witli the disapproval of the con
vention ; congress is invoked to regard the
interest of the people of the Mississippi val
ley and the northwest in this matter , and de
mands of it that appropriations bo made suf
ficient to prosecute intelligently and
successfully the work of river improvement
in the interest of commerce until such
work bo fully completed ; the light house sys
tern and also the smig and drug boat service
are asked to be bettered ; the action of the
executive committee on the improvement of
western waterways is approved. It was re
solved that a committee consisting of ono
delegate at largo from each state and one
from each congressional district represented
in this convention bo appointed by each state
delegation present who shall bo charged with
the duty of preparing as soon as practicublo
a memorial to congress in support of and in
accordance with the foregoing resolutions.
The Mississippi and Missouri commissions
are endorsed and the proposed improvement
of the connection between Luke Michigan , nt
Chicago , and the Mississippi river is ap
proved. The report concludes : That In our
judgment the method adopted by congress of
embodying in the bill known as the "Hivcr
and Harbor bill" appropriations for improve
ments of the rivers and hurbors of the
country is the right nnd proper method of
dealing with the question in practical legis
lation.
The convention favorably regards the
movement for the construction of the Henne-
pln canal to connect the upper Mississippi
and Illinois rivers.
Resolutions were adopted and the conven
tion adjourned sine die.

APPEAL OF THE ANARCHISTS ,
The Court Hears Their Application
For a Writ of Error.
GREAT CROWDS IN ATTENDANCE.
General Pryor Argue * On the Motion
and Attacks the Illinois Jury
Law The Case Set For
Monday.
Before the Supreme Court.
' WASHINGTON , Oct. 21. At a hearing of the
application for a writ of error in the case of
the Chicago anarchists this morning , Justice
Harlan made an order directing that counsel
apply for a writ of error directly to the whole
court In open session , and said application
might be made at noon to-day.
At un early hour this morning the confer
ence room of the supreme court was uncom
fortably crowded with lawyers and news
paper men who were waiting to hear the
proceedings In the Chicago anarchist case.
Counsel for the defense were in whispered
consultation. At twenty minutes to 11
Justice Harlan entered the room and ns soon
ns the room became quiet , without waiting
for uny formal motion or application from
the prisoners' counsel , began delivering un
opinion with slow , deliberate enunciation.
After giving a brief summary of the applica
tion hu said : "If I should allow a writ of
error it is quite certain that the counsel
would have to repeat before that court argu
ments which they propose now to make be
fore me. On the other hand , if I should re
fuse a writ the defendants would bo ut lib
erty to renew their application before any
other Justice of the supreme court , nnd as
human life nnd liberty uro involved , that
justice might feel obliged , notwithstanding
previous refusal of the writ , to look
into the case and determine for himself
whether a writ of error should be allowed.
If he also refused the defendants could take
the papers to some other nicmberof thecourt ,
and so on until each Justice had been applied
to or until some Justice granted the writ. In
tills case , it is manifest that delays might
occur that would be very embarrassing in
view of the short time intervening
between this day nnd the date fixed
for carrying into effect the judgment
of the state court. As the case is one of very
serious character in whatever aspect it maybe
bo regarded , it seems to mo proper to make
an order which I now do , that counsel pre
sent this application in open session , to the
end that early and final action may bo hud
ujwn the question whether that court bus
jurisdiction to review the judgment in this
case. There is no reason why it may not bo
presented to the court at this session to-day.
Counsel may state that the application is
made to the court pursuant to my direction. "
After reciting briefly the history of the
case Mr. Pryor said ho would call the , atten
tion of the court to only two points wh'ich ho
relied upon to show that the case at the bar
presented federal questions and that such
questions empowered this court to take
jurisdiction and grant the writ of error
prnyed for. The first of these points re-
luted to the jury by which the prisonccs were
tried. The legislature of Illinois passed in
March , 1874 that is , after the ndoiHion of
the fourth amendment u law to regulate
and govern the cmpanclmcnt of juries in the
state courts. By virtue of that law Uio Jury
for the trial of a criminal case might bo made
up , in part at least , of Jurors who hud formed
an opinion with regard to the Kullt or
innocence of the persons accused Jurors who
wcro partial and even prejudiced men. The
law made it possible to put into the jury box
men who had formed nn opinion as to a [ iris-
oner's guilt , which could not be removed ex
cept by strong evidence. Thi * , ho believed ,
had been done in the case under consider
ation , and the petition asserted that this stat
ute and the effect given to it in the courts
below had deprived them of their rights and
was ubout to deprive them of their lives with
out "duo process of law guaranteed by the
federal constitution. " In reply to a query
regarding the statute , Pryor rend aloud that
part of the act of the Illinois legislature ap
proved March 12,1874. "It appears of record. "
said Pryor , "that this statute was called in
question in the trial court as repugnant to
the provisions both of the federal constitu
tion and of the constitution of the state of
Illinois , but the court afllrmed its constitu
tionality upon the authority of decisions of
the Illinois supreme court nnd thd latter
afterward sustained the Judgement. " Pryor
then read extracts from the record to show
that among the talesmen in the trial court
thcro were men who admitted that they hud
read the newspapers and formed an opinion
with regard to the case and were therefore
partial.
After some colloquy between Justice Miller
nnd Mr. Pryor ns to whether the particular
juror , whoso prejudices ho described , was
on the jury , Pryor said ho wus not , but
Pryor said it abundantly appeared in
the record that at least two Jurors
who actually sat in the trial
were persons having prepossessions and
prejudices of the chnrructer described. Thus ,
by the action of the lower courts , he said , the
Illinois statute had been made to deprive the
accused of the right of trial by an impartial
jury , hud abridged their privileges as citizens
of the United States and was about to de
prive them of life , etc. , without duo process
of law.
The chief Justice remarked that the only
question for this court was whether the
statute was constitutional. If the court
erred in its administration of the statute that
was a question for the state courts.
Pryor contended that the action of the
state court was the action of the state.
Pryor's secojid point was that the petitioners
had been compelled in the trial court to bo
witnesses against themselves. Some of
them wcro on the stand and in spite of the
protests of their counsel wcro compellad to
submit to unrestrained cross-examination
f and criminate themselves. Furthermore ,
a after their arrest the jiolice , without any process -
cess of law , broke open their private desks
and extracted from them letters and other
criminating evidence , and these letters ,
gotten without duo process of law ,
} were used against them. When un
t objection was raised it was overruled and an
exception taken. The use of these papers
was virtually compelling a man to testify
against himself in violation of the fifth
amendment to the constitution. In conelu-
felon Pryor said it wus not necessary to refer
specifically to the fifth amendment or the i
fourteenth amendment or any other amend ii
ment as violated by the Illinois statute and i
proceedings in state courts. Ho would sim
ply say broadly that these were questions j
raised under the federal constitution.
At the conclusion of Pryor's speech the
n chief Justice hold n brief whispered consulta-
n tiou with several associate justices and then 1
11 said : "Mr. Pryor , you may have printed al
once if iiosslblo the parts of the record which i
raise these questions , and hand them to u ;
this afternoon or early to-morrow morning ,
and on Monday wo will indicate what is fur
ther necessary to bo done. "

Over Score of 'Men Killed In an
ArkansM Battle.
WAWOKA , L I. ( via Muskegco ) Oct. 21. On
Thursday a dcsperato'ilght took place on the
north fork of the Ark'ausnw river between
Bob Trainers gang of outlaws and u vigilance
committee under the leadership of Hobert
Henderson , which followed them from Duck
worth's store In the Creek nation on the
occasion of the raid there Wednes
day. The outlaws numlwred about forty
and ambushrd themselves on the bank of a
river , so that when the vigilantes cnmo up
they were , for the time , entirely ut the mercy
of the desperadoes. A short conflict ensued ,
during which three of the vigilantes wcro
killed an two wounded. Henderson then
crossed the river and took up a protected
liositlon opposite the Truincrs. The river nt
this point is only ubout a hundred yards
wide , and across this distance from Thurs
day morning until Thursday night bullets
flew freely.
During the day Trainer sent a part of his
men across the river some distance down to
como up and execute a flunk movcvcment on
the vlglluntcs. They were surprised , how
ever , by Henderson , who met them half way
and drove them bm'k , killing one and wound
ing several. The fight continued , and ns
night came on Henderson called his men for
consultation , when it was found that of his
force eight had been killed and eight others
received serious , though not fatal
wounds. The fore * was thus reduced one-
half and It was thonght best to remove the
wounded hero and stir up reinforcements.
The dead were buried and the wounded
brought here. It is thought ns many of the
outlaws wcro killed as of the pursuing
party , though this will never bo
known definitely. Henderson says ho
will collect n hundred men , follow the rob
bcrs and wipe them out. It is by no means
certain , however , that nn another party will
be organized as it is thought the severe les
son the outlaws have received will put a
quietus on their lawlessness. Henry Aires ,
a stockman , who was ono of Henderson's
party says Bob Trainer was killed. Ho is of
the opinion that not less than fifteen wcro
killed outright on both sides and thinks one-
half of thu outlaws who were not killed wcro
wounded.
