WASHINGTON , Oct. 23. [ Special Telegram
lo the HEE. ] The proceedings In the an
archists' hearing to-dny were ICHS Interesting
than yesterday. Everybody knew the points
rolled on by the anarchists' counsel and the
arguments made on them , mid it was appar
ent from Hutlcr's brief in the case that ho
had only one new point to make , which was
mentioned in my dispatch of last night.
States Attorney Grlnnell from Chicago
made the first argument to-day
and addressed himself mainly to
the constitutionality of the Illinois jury law.
Ho made quite an impression as an able and
logical advocate , and the court paid him un
usual attention. Duller -finished the argu
ment In a speech of an hour and three quar
ters. To say that ho made an argument is
perhaps doing his s ) > ccch too much honor. He
l > eke rambllngly , like a man who cither baa
no definite ideas or whoso ideas arc sadly
mixed. Ho sought to strengthen Tucker's
arguments as to the jurisdiction of the
court , and then actually claimed
that aliens in this country must bo tried
under the laws in force here at the time
when the treaty of amity between this imi
their respective native countries went intc
effect. These treaties only stipulate thai
foreigners shall have the same privilege !
and immunities when tried under the laws 01
the United States , but Uutlcr'sposition , uetu
ally , was that Spies should have
been tried according to the lav
in force a hundred years ngo
The court did not follow Hutlcr'h speech will
attention. The judges smiled occasionally
when the old gentleman became a little witty
but they generally occupied themselves will
looking over briefs and other papers. The
lawyers present seemed to bo amused at hi ;
line of speech and one of them salt
afterwards that his argument
was nothing more 'than ingeniously
absurd. The lawyers of the anarchists shov
a want of confidence in their success. Cap
tain Hlack and Mr. Solomon went about in :
disheartened sort of way and after the hear
ing was closed General Pryor stood in tin
corridor , leaning against a pillar , moodll ;
smoking ami chewing a cigar , while Tuckc
was standing by them with his eyes cast 01
the floor and seemingly lust in thought. Onl :
Uutlcr was as usual , pulling , blowing am
chewing uway us though ho had some par
ticulurly tough cud to dispose of. The opln
ion generally prevails that the court will den ;
the petition.
The Arguments in Detail.
[ Press. ] When the supreme court openci
nt noon , Attorney General Hunt statci
that ho had practically finished his 111
Kumcnt when the court adjourned yesterdu ,
and would not resume to-daybut would giv
way to Grlnnell. Gnnnell spoke forty-fiv
minutes , paying particular attention to th
composition of the jury. After roviewin
briefly the ground covered by the argumen
of Attorney General Hunt yesterday , Grin
iicll said that so far as the composition of th
jury was concerned there was only one ma
in it to whom any objection wa
raised by the defense and thu
was the man Sanford , wh
was the last juror selected. The attempt ha
been made , he said , to show that anothc
juror named Dcnkor had also been objectc
to but in reply to that it was only necessar
to say that at the time Juror Denkcr was ai
copied the defense had the right to 142 pn
cmptory challenges. If they had objected t
him very strongly they might liavo used on
of the prcemptory challenges to exclude bin
After reviewing at some length the cast
of the jurors , Sanford and Donkcr , Grinue
said that every man on the jury was dul
qualified under the common law. It was I
no sense a class jury. Three of the jurymc
wore men who labored with their own hands
ono of them was a man of foreign birth , an
there was not a capitalist among them ,
With regard to "unreasonable search an
seizure , " Mr. Grinnell said ho did not dcsii
and this was not the place to apologize ft
anything ho had done in this case. II
believed , however , that it had always bee
regarded as proper to deprive a criminal t
the instrument of his crime and to use sue
instruments as evidence against him. It ha
been done when the pistol was taken by fort
from the assassin Guitcau , and , if ho romcn
bored rightly , Guitean's papers had also bee
nelied. Ho recited the history of the bom
throwing inChicagoand enumerated article :
Mii-h as bombs , dynamite , etc. , which IK
longed to Spies , Lingg and others of the ai
archlsts which had been taken , not froi
tholr private houses , but from the ArboiU
y.cltung ofllro , the headquarters of the ai
archist party. Ho maintained tin
the question was not. how did these art
cles get before the court , but wh ;
did they prove , and again referred to tl
case of l\er vs the people of Illinois , cited I
the attorney general of the state yesterda ,
After speaking about forty minutes , Oil :
nell closed and General Hutler arose and o
Joeted to the latter part of GrlnnoH's urg
inent on the ground that it wont outside i
the printed record and brought in cxtnmeoi
matter to which no reference had befoi
been made. Ho observed that this cxtraneoi
matter must bo popular with the court or i
introduction would not bo permltte
Ho and his associates had been taken by su
prise and be must ask moro time in ordov
pp into the case fully and show that the Cue
stated by Mr. GrinueU were not in tl
record. If he should bo wrong , ho hoped 1
would bo corrected by men who did not a
vocato and defend man-stealing and proper !
stealing.
After describing .what happened provio
to the Htiynmrket mooting , ho Mild : " .
that meeting a bomb was thrown by son
body for some purpose , and there Is not o
word in these 8,1)00 ) pages of evidunro to she
that any ono of those men hud anything to i
with the throwing of that bomb. Us i
plosion killed a single policeman and wlthh
few days all thcso int'n were arrested v/it
out warrants , committed to jail and lit
without examination and without procc
until they were indicted by a grand jurj
Ho said ho was ready to pledge himself tli
there was not u single man of t
Jury selected who had not said that Im hat
linn and some of them an enthusiastic cc
viotion , opinion and prejudice against the t
fendants. After u greit deal of rambll
talk about the composition of the Jury , d
satisfaction with the record , lade of tii'no 1
preparation , sentencing of the prisoners
thuir ubseivo and that of their counsel , t
Injustice done them by unreasonable ) sear
and sei/uic. etc. , General Hutlcr said that
all these things co-.dd bo done , the questl
to bivdebaled wes whether this govenuuc
would not bo better if it were overturn
luto'amux'hy than If it were to bo can-led on
this'fashion. "I have no four : " ho said , '
being misunderstood upon this .question ,
huvo.thoiiulvidimlity of being the only n ,
In the United States that condemned u
ivtccuted men for undertaking to ovcrtv
the law. There were tho'us'jmds
them , and for that ' ttct.pies
your honors , ' aprice , was set uj
my head as though I were si-wolf , and $ ; , ;
wus offered ' to any man that could capture
and murdc'r mo by JctTeison D.ivis > UI 'lit *
sot'iutes , and who , K they were bore at yi
' bar trying to ascertain whether they hoi
, . luve au honojt unu fulr trial for lU'-ir tr
crimes , and they called upon me , If their lives
Were In danger I should hold It to bo my duty
to do all I might to defend them. " After some
further talk General Hutler said ho agreed
fully that the first ten amendments of the
constitution were limitations of federal power
and not restrictions of the rights of states.
"Privileges and immunities , " however ,
claimed by the prisoners were privileges In
herent in each ono of the citizens of the sev
eral states of the union , because In a
vast majority wo were Hritlsh
subjects and had certain privileges
and Immunities inherited under common law
and the inagnu eharta. Wo claim that all
rights , privileges and Immunities that be
longed to a Hritlsh subject under the mugna
churtn belonged to each citizen of the United
States. The words "Due process of law"
mean "Hy the law of the land , " and not the
law of the county , n province , or a state , but
the law of the country the whole country.
Any other meaning given to "duo process of
law , " as used in the fourteenth amendment ,
would make It simply ridiculous and frivo
lous , because any state may enact a "duo
process of law" according to that state , by
which a man's life may bo taken , and from
which not a single right or immunity of
citizenship can protect him. General Hutler
then proceeded to consideration of the special
and peculiar questions raised by the eases of
Fieldcn and Spies , who lire foreigners. He
contended that treaties wcro the supreme law
of the land and that thcso prisoners were en
titled by virtue of the treaties with Germany
and Great Hrltain to all the rights and priv
ileges of American citi/ens nt the time such
treaties were made. A state had no power te
try these men by ono of its own laws whicli
was not the law of the land at the time the
treaties were ratified. He did not mean that
u foreigner could come into a state and brcnli
its laws with Impunity and that the state
could only try him in accordance will :
the law of the land the whole
land nt the time the treaty with bis gov
ernmcnt was made. This was an Important
question to every American citizen because
in return for the concession made by this
government in the treaty with Great Hritaii
the povcrnment of that country had made
similar concessions to us. Suppose a citizei
of the United States should go to Ireland
make remarks about a republican form 01
government , bo arrested and tried by the
crimes net in violation of the treaty. Would
we not stand up and say this man must bt
tried by a fair and impartial jury ! If this
should happen General Hutler hoped th (
English authorities would not bo able
to hold up to his guzo the decisioi
of the United States supreme cour
sustaining the right to try an Englishman bi
the local law of a state which was nothiiii
but a swamp and a howling wilderness at tin
time the treaty was ratified. After semi
desultory remarks about the record , refer
enccs to breaking open the safe and dcski
and charges of prejudice against the jury
General Uutlcr said that thu defense wa :
compelled to accept the last juror , Sanford
Their peremptory challenges were cxhaustci
and they could do nothing olso. Under th' '
circumstances they talked to him and coaxei
him and tried to get him into a state of mini
as favorable to their side as they coultl
Referring to the assertion of counsel
sol on the other side that th
petitioners had waived some of their right
through not insisting upon them by exceptioi
or objection at the proper time , and that
therefore , they wore stopped from usscrtini
these rights now , Hutler contended tha
when a man wus on trial for his lifo thcr
was no such thing \vuiverorestoppal. . General
oral 13ntler returned again to "unreasonabl
searches and seizures. " "Why , your honors ,
ho exclaimed , "they searched under a burp
hiry headed by the stale's attorney ou hi
own admission no miserable policeman o
half-witted constable , ' but. the state's prose
cuting attorney does'tho burglary , steals th
papers and says you can't help that. Ho put
it with a sort of triumph and yet wo are tel
that our immunities and privileges arc nc
invaded and our remedy It to sue for Ires
pass. What a beautiful remedy. Sue th
state's attorney and bo tried by such a jur
as the law of Illinois would give. Hotter b
in a place not to bo mimed for comfort.
General Hutler again urged that th
prisoners had been sentenced to deal
m their absence and in conch
sion said : "If men's lives can b
taken in this way , as you have seen exhibite
here to-day , wo had better have anarchy an
better bo without law than with auy sue
law. " General Hutler thanked the court fc
its indulgence and tool : his seat.
The chief just too called the next case o
the docket and the hearing of the motion c
the anarchists for a writ of rrror was over.
It seems to be the general impression amen
those who have paid the closest attention t
the proceedings that the counsel for the stat
had altogether the best of the argument , an
that the writ of error will not bo granted.
r.uoliainin's Opinion.
CHICAGO , Oct. 2S. [ Siicciul Telegram t
thoHni : . ] "What do you think of the poll
made by Hutler yesterday that Si > ies an
Fielden , as aliens , have privileges guurai
teed by treaty 1"
"l.think it's a poor point , " said ,1. II. Hi
chanan , of the Labor Enquirer , to whom tl
question was addressed , as the man mo :
prominent in the effort to obtain amnesty ft
the anarchists , "I think it is a bud point. 1
the first place it is not so , Mrs. Spies tcl
me. August Spies is a naturalized citizen , i
she tolls mo , and I think Ficldcn is , too , b' '
that doesn't ' cut any figure. Whether tin
are voters or not is of very little consequent
now. They have made up their minds
hung thcso men , r.r.d I guess they're going
do it. "
"Tho point lias been made that unless tl
condemned men sign the petition the govt
nor cannot take any cognizance of it. "
"That's all bosh. Why can't he ? The la
provides that executive clemency may 1
granted under certain conditions , and win
these conditions are simmered down thi
mean that executive clemency must bo ask
for. The prisoners may sign the petitii
either for themselves or by attorney. We
if I hustle around for them , ain't I actli
as their attorney ? I don't uudcr&tui
i that all of them have refused to si |
i the petitions. I think there are on
two of them who wont , but if the others i
and a general amnesty Is granted , do y
mean to tell mo that it wont apply to thci
, Sut-h restrictions can only work to abvid ;
i the right of petition whirh is granted
3 every citizen of the country. Take th
3 away and wherein does the government d
fer from the worst form of despotism ov
devised } "
.lust before this interview took place Ml
Van /limit was talking to Mr. Huchami
and she said in tlio hearing of the reports
"It scorns to mo that the ruling of the f
u promo court , whicli is that it doesn't ma
t any difference how the evidence was t
tallied so long as it proves the man gull
is an entire novelty in law. The article
to-day's Tribune which says that a bomb w
found in August's desk , is just as mean as
.1 can bo. The editor who wrote it knows ji
s us well as anybody that they only found kc
and some letters there. Oh , its just nwf
t They're riveting more fetters on the people
o this country every day. I'm sure I doi
a , know what is going to become of us all. "
Over at the jail the sightseers exhibit
more than usual impertinence and vulgar ! :
Three or four woir.cn came in ami hu
around when- Parsons was talking with 1
wife and did their very best to overlie
what was said. Then they listen
awhile where Nina Van Znmlt was talking
Spies. Spies' slster-ln-law tallied w
Schwab awhile , and they tried to eavesdt
on their conversation. Miss Van Xai
turned .u-ounu and gave them nlcok froezi
cnough.to put out n bl.ist furnace , but it. t
pot effect them lii the least.
"When Is they going to hang Ym ! " saldo
of tha wouim. right out louO ; with cr.lm
difference. ,
"Why , November 111" replied another.
' "Oh , my , tain't but a. Uttlo while. Lc

utterly regardless of the fcellncs of the men
on the other side of the painted wire netting
as If they had been so many pigs to bo
slaughtered when it came to bo hog killing
time. The male curiosity seekers wcro Just
as offensive. They stood around nnd gaped
at the relations of the anarchists much as
they would at a fat woman Inn dime museum.
Parsons was asked about the 1x > int
that tno governor could not consider
the pardon unless the names of
the condemned were signed to it.
Ho said : "I haven't heard of It before , and I
am not very much Interested in it. " Mrs.
Parsons said to him , "You'd ' better take your
exercise now. " and ho obediently turned
away , while she took her wicker basket , nnd
with a sigh , turned and left the cage.
The sheriff visits the jail every day now.
but be preserves a sturdy silcneo about all
ireparatlons for the execution. "Havo you
evolved any Intimation that Governor
Oglesby will grant the condemned men n
-espite In case the supreme court denies the
) ctition for a writ of error ? " ho was asked.
'Not a syllable ; don't know whether ho will

ho sheriff replied.

The Country Again ut the Mercy ol

NEW YOUK , Oct. 'JS. [ Special Telegram tc
.ho Hr.i : . ] The Tribune says : The most lin-
iwrtant step toward complete settlement ol
ho telegraph war , probably second only tc
ho purchase of the Baltimore & Ohio sys-
em by the Western Union company , was
: akcn yesterday. An agreement was made
between the Mutual Union , the fighting con
ingcnt of the Western Union company , and
ho Postal Telegraph company , which now
represents the only opposition. It is proba
b'le that this agreement merely foreshadows
n perfect coalition , but the principal ofllcen
of both companies Insisted that it covcret
only an advance in unprofitable rates. It wni
stated with much positivcness that no pur
chose , of the opposition lines was ever con
templated , and nt the office of the Postu
Telegraph company it was said that the tar
ft , in accordance with the agreement , had no
ivus that this acquisition'of the HaltimoroiS
Ohio lines by the Western Uuion was not an
been made and common opinion in Wallstrcc
nounced until terms with the Mackay com
panics had been arranged , and that the pros
cut agreement was the natural consequence
It was anticipated that an advance in cabli
rates would bo made immediately , nnd ii
fact the control of the opposition telegrapl
and cable lines wus in the hands of tin
Western Union company. It is tolerabl ;
certain that some sort of nn agreement exists
ists between Gould and Mackay and the pro
posed advance in rotes by the Mutual Unioi
and Postal companies is generally ucceptci
as sufficient proof. Gould said in reply to ni
inquiry whether the agreement meant ah
sprption of the Mackay land and occai
lines : "I guess not. As I understand thi
situation , the Mutual Union nnd Postal com
panics have agreed to advunei
rates to something near our tariff
They have been fighting each other , but tin
Western Union is not greatly interested ,
have not heard of any advance in cubl
rates. " Vice President Hosenor , of the Pos
tal company , said : "Tho purchase of th
Muekey lines by the Western Union is ou
of the question. I do not think there is an.
intentlou.of thatkind on cither side , and it i
understood that the advance in rates on th
Postal lines will curry with it abolition of re
bates , and that all ejompetitive 10 and 1
cent rates will bo given up , and the no\
schedule will agree very nearly with Wes1
ern Union. "
The olllcials of the Postal Telegraph coir
pany have formally announced that as u r (
suit of the conference yesterday the rates c
the Postal company will be advanced to th
Western Union standard on all message
under 25 cents and where the standard i
higher than that llguro the competing con
panics will make a slightly lower rate. Tli
advance will take effect on the 1st of Ni
vcmbev.

SAN FiiAXCibco , Oct. 23. United StaU

who was supposed to bo the Vundcrbilt i

told him that ho had assumed any such rel
tions to the China-American bank. "My I
liof is , " said Dopow , "that Vanderbilt do
not intend to bo president of this Chine
bank. He is not the man to permit the u
of his tinma in an enterprise which ho won
not back financially , and become thorough
responsible for. Vanderbilt is much too bit
now with the affairs ho hus oil his hands

WASHIXOTON , Oet. 2S.t-Spoclal [ Telegram
to the UEI : . ] There is * a decidedly mixed
state of things in the ( general land office ,
which promises to result ] in the loss of ono
official nt least. General Stmms of Virginia ,
is the chief of the division of fraudulent land
claims. Simms is n coujtly gentleman , very
punctilious In all mattcrs.of decorum and oil
quctte , not a personal frjc'nd ofC.ommlssloner
Sparks , but , on the contrary , ho does not got
along very well with that gentleman. Sparks'
especial pet has been a man named George ,
who made n sensation n few years ngo by
accusing. Congressman [ jEllls , of Louisiana ,
of all sorts of unplcaimt things. George
has been employed ns a kpccial agent of the
land ofllco for some timjj and has been under
the direction of General Simms. This gentle
man never liked George and has been fet
some time trying to get him discharged ,
Sparks opposed , but at last Simms succeeded ,
Hecently George was sent by Sparks to Simms
for n statement of his account. He carried n
note from Sparks , in' ' which that official
asked the chief of the frauds division to treat
Mr. George courteously. This was very dis.
pleasing to Sims , who remarked that ho ditl
not think that it wus necessary to instruct bin :
how to treat a gentleman ns n gentleman
should treat another. This remark was car
ried to the cars of Sparks by a man numcc
Young , who is the assistant chief in Simms'
division. Simms hcurdof it mid demanded tht
removal of Young. Sparks declined to remove
move Young , but intimated thuthewouli
accept the resignation of Simms if the latter
chose to tender it. This Simms declined to do
Instead ho went to the secretary and askct
that Young bo "fired. " Secretary Lamar ai
once instructed Sparks to discharge Young
Sparks said that ho would do nothing of the
kind but that ho would carry the matter te
the president. Yesterday the attention ol
the president was called to the controversj
and all parties arc anxiously awaiting the re
suit. If the president sustains Sparks , Simm ;
will have to resign. If , on the other hand
Simms is sustained the commissioner of the
land ofllco will probably swallow the insul
and retain his ofllco. Ho is not likely to let :
little thing like that induce him to leave u fa
place.

your correspondent what Mr. Carnegie hai
said about the Maine statesman. Ho deniei
the stories about Mr. Hlaiuc's health haviii ]
given way.
"Tho fact is , " said he , "Mr. Hluino neve
enjoyed bettor health in his lifo. Oh , yes
ho talked quite freely to mo about the politi

nomination if it was offer'ed. Ho is not no
will nol bo active wii\ view to seeurin
the nomination , but oxjn-osses the hope an
belief that if ho is nominated ho will b
elected. " '
In regard to the return of Mr. Hluino t
the United States Mr. Carnegie told my ir
formaut that no data had been settled upot
but it was certain ho would not return bofov
next May. Mr. Hlaine in one conversatio
referred to the political status of New Yorl
Ohio , Virginia and Maryland and said tlu
they could undoubtedly bo carried byth
republicans by a vigorous canvass. The
Mr. Carnegie added on his own account th ;
there was no doubt that Blaine was the con
ing man ; that if nominated ho would Mircl
be the next president.

Smith was uway from homo at the time , but
the woman's account of how the man came tc
his death aroused the neighbor's suspicion
and lie started off and calling in some of tht
neighbors informed them of the occur
rence. In a short while n largo crowd hut ;
collected and one of the number wus sen !
to the town to inform the coroner. When
the latter arrived a jury was selected froir
the crowd , and the woman , who appeared tt
bo the only witness , was called to testify , but

called , but his statement contradicted itsell
so many times that the coroner ordered the
Jury to appear at St. Joseph this mornlnf
and brought the body to Ipwn. The farmer :
in the meantime took Smith and his wife intt
custody. An autopsy was held to-day am
the jury returned a verdict that the deeeasei

and his wife. It was not clearly shown whe
struck the blow. Warrants will bo swori
