[ SpecialTelegram to the HII : : , ] Nothing of especial interest trans pired In or about the jail to-day. It Is , how ever , evident that the Immediate friends and relatives of the anarchists looked more cheer ful thnn nt any time heretofore. Their hopes now rest on a commutation of the death pen alty. All of the doomed men have relatives except Llngg , He , however , Is being visited dally by members of the Miller family , who came from the same place with him In the old country. They bring him food and f.'Ojd cheer , and it Is intimated some of the .voting women In the family have so far an Influence over him us lo get him to put his signature to the petition for pardon , It Is highly proba ble that the four anarchists , Llngg , Kngel , Fischer and Parsons , who have published let ters announcing their determination to refuse a commutation of their sentence are not aware of what the law Is on the subject of the pardoning power , and may place Ihemsclves and the sheriff of this county In nn awkward predicament should Governor Oglesby decide at the last moment to exercise executive clemency in the case. In the course of conversation with Mr. George C. Ingham , one of the prosecuting counsel on the Irial before Judge Gary , that Ecnllo- imm said : "Suppose the governor should send along a commutation of the sentence and the prisoners refuse to accept It , It Is a question whether it would not bcconu the duty of the sheriff to hang them after all. " "What ! Would not the governor's com mutation annul Iho sentence so far as the death penalty is concerned and save them in spilo of themselvesl" "I think not , unless a pardon Is formally accepted it Is null and void , Hero is what Hishop says on the subject in his work on 'Criminal Law1 ; 'A pardon , to bo valid , must bo delivered and , like a deed to land , uo ceptod by the grantee. Where there is no ac ceptance , it Is void.1 Hishop refers to the case of the Unileil States vs Wilson reported in 7 , Peters , ir > 0. Wilson had been indicted foru-obbing the United Stales mail and puU ting the life of the driver in jeopardy. High way robbery with violence was then a capital offense , and he was convicted and sentenced to death. President Jackson granted him a pardon as far as the death penalty was con cerned , but not to include immunity from pun ishment on other Indictments that had been returned against him. Wilson was again tried on another indictment charging rob bery without the averment of violouce , nnd pleaded guilty. The question was raised by the court whether the president's pardon did not carry with it immunity from further prosecution for the same offense , although not intended to do so. The questions in the case were certified to the supreme court of the United States , and Chief Justice Mar shall , in delivering the opinion of the court , said : "A pardon is n deed , to the validity of which delivery is essential nnd delivery is not complete without acceplanco. It may then bo rejected by the person to whom tendered , and if rcjetcd. wo huvo discovered no power in the courts to force it on him. It may bo supposed that no man , condemned to death , would reject a pardon , but the rule must bo the same in capital cases as in misdemeanors. A pardon may bo conditional , and the conndltion may bo more objectionable than the punishment inllicted by the judgments. The anarchists , therefore , to obtain the benefit of a i" .nmuta- lion of their sentence , which is a conditional pardon , must subscribe ) a formal acceptance of it. Four of them have intimated in ad vance that they will not do so ; but the door of mercy may still bo open to them. Should a commutation bo granted , and they then re fuse to accept , ns the law requires , Sherill Mntlson must proceed lo do his duly and re gard the commutation in every such case us null and void ; in other words , ho must exe cute Iho sentence notwithstanding the gov ernor's interference at the time fixed by the court. " The Governor Will Not Talk. SriiiNOFiKin , 111 , , Nov. 4. [ Special Tele gram to the Hii : : . ] Governor Oglesby was Interviewed to-day upon the case of the anarchists but ho refused to say a word. "I might bo misunderstood , " said ho , "and I prefer to say nothing. You need not ex * pect anything from mo upon this subject.

A Demi Anarchist. PITTSIIUWI , Nov. 4. Yesterday , Thomas Owens , n e'arpenter at work on a house at Homestead , fell from the roof of the buildIng - Ing , and broke his neck. Owens , It appears , came to this city about n year ago , some two or three days after the Hnvmarknt riot at Chicagoln a somewhat dilapidated condition , representing himself to bo n carpenter out of a Job. Ono of Owens' fellow-workmen named Pl | > or yesterday swore before Squirt ) Oeffncr In the course of the inquest , that Owens told him ho was an anarchist. The diseased told him ho was at the Huymarkct riot , where ho throw the bomb. Piper had been cautioned to keep the statement ! ! secret , uml for that reason ho did not tell the story until after the death of Owens. The singular story of the man Owens was made the subject of an Investigation nt Homestead this afternoon. Mr. Piper , who worked with Owens , said Ills testimony be fore the coroner's inquest was substantially us reporte-d , and then went , on to tell what Owens hud told him that ho { Owens ) , was at the Haymarket incut Ing and had stood "close to the man who threw the bomb. " The story was told to Piper under n pledge of secrecy , which Piper kept until relieved of it by Owens' sudden death. An examination of this effects1 of the deceased showed In his trunk a number of letters , ono of which was from his sister in Chicago , warning him to keep away from the socialists , as they had been the cause of his trouble. The reporters who went to Homestead this evening Interviewed many residents of that village and found two or three who claimed to have knowledge of Owens' connection with the bomb throwing. They neglected , how- ecer , to explain why they had kept this to themselves until now. Tin ; Story Discredited in Chicago. Cm. ADO , Nov. 4. The story from Pitts- mrg With an allegeel anarchist sensation is smiled at hero. It is full of inconsistencies ind about the only basis thcro can bo for it is hat the man Owens was perhaps a member f ono of the anarchist groups and left Chicago cage in the general exodus of those gentry ifter the Haymarket. Michael Schwab , irothcr-ln-hiw of Schnaubelt , was seen at the ail this evening and said that little reliance . ould be placed in the story.

Hut General Hoyntou and Ilobcrt Wynne , of the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazelle , who Invested $5 for the story , do not hold Hopkins resjion- slblo and bellevo that Spcrry is an accom plice.

There is only ono : iopo left for Hopkins by which ho can scapo fievero punishment and that lies in cnlency upon the part of the prosecuting fllcers and newspaper correspondents who ivcre misled by his statements. The latter are not likely to bo partial with him. A num ber of times ho has circulated false but phius- blo stories and made much trouble for them , lis statements last night were not believed ill they were corroborated by Chief Justice Waitc. Hopkins is not considered u legiti- nato correspondent and has no standing on Newspaper Uow. During the early part of he last session of congress bo was expelled 'rom the reporters gallery for misreprcsen- atlon to the congressional press committee. Ho made a certificate that ho was the accred ited correspondent of a newspaper , when , in fact , ho was never known in that ofllce. A chemist examined the package this after noon and found that Hopkins statement as to its contents was substantially correct ex cel ) ! as to the percussion caps , which ho said were exploded , but which the chemist found n now.

Indian Lanel Allotments. WASHINGTON , Nov 4. [ Special Telegram to the Ben.In the law enacted at the last session of congress providing for allotments of lands In severally to certain Indians It is directed that each head of a family shall have n quarter section , each single person over eighteen years of ago one-eighth sec tion , each orphan under eighteen one-eighth , etc. The instructions given to the agents to allot lands direct that the phrase "Head ol family" means husband and father of a fam ily , but it is found that many Indians have each several wives and each of them a large family , so that in these cases large numbers of persons would bo assigned but one quarter section. The department of the interior found it necessary to pass upon the legality of Indian marriage and the secretary decided that the first should bo the legal wife and such other wives ns have no children should bo classed as single persons over eighteen years old , nnd such other wives as have children should bo considered as heads of families nnd also have ICO acres. This construction brought to the city ex-Governor Isaac Sharp , of Kansas , attorney for many trldes of Indians , who yesterday suggested to the secretary the humiliating position in which this interpretation placesthososquaws who were decided to bo the only true wives , while concubines , who are not mothers , were to receive eighty acres and these who arc mothers are to receive KM ) acres. The lawful were to receive nothing. Mr. Sharp thinks the phrase "Head of family" was intended to mean the father and mother of each family , for. if otherwise , the law would saj the head of each family instead of each heail of family. The secretary was appalled nl this revelation and asked Mr. Sharp to pul his suggestions in writing. Governor Shuri says the mistuko is chargeable to the incom petents of the Indian ofilco.

The Globe , which DBS recently been protesting very vigorously against the appointment of Joseph Chamber lain as a member of the fisheries commission , comes out to-day in another strong editorial protesting against Chamberlain serving on , the commission and says there is no doubt that his work on it will involve Canada In tremendous risks. The alternative of the ac ceptance of Mr. Bayard's proposals will bo non-Intercourse , commercial reprisals and probably war. The Globe says the case U one iu which the United States has compar atively little to fear. Great Hritaln ha to fear u largo loss of trade , large expenditure of money and the shedding of British blood , but not invasion. Canada has everything to fear , for there would be the battle ground. This would bo the main co.st and their young men would furnish the bulk of the repast for the carriou crow. The paper then goes on to advocate that unrestricted reciprocity is perfectly honorable method of settling tha dispute. Sentenced to Ten Years. ST. JosiU'ii , Mo. , Nov. 4.
