Special to the Hni : . ] The nc\ tripplo.-iillianet ! between Germany , Austrl and Italy takes the general public somewlui by surprise , but In oftlciul circles cverybod was well prepared for it. It is undcr&too that England was not consulted in tlio mal tor , nor was there any necessity to consul her , ber interests not being directly concerns One wiy or the other. No doubt Prince His ninrck has moro than once advised her t puisne a policy in Kgypt which would Imv been calculated to embitter the relations be twccen England and Franco. Had his com ; ell been followed , England would now priui tlcully , though not formally , bo a party toth triple-alliance. Efforts have also buei made on the part of Austria ti establish moro intimate relation with Kngiiind , especially Just before Lor Randolph Churchill's resignation last yea What went on ubout that time may never h fully known to the public , but it is ccrtai that intrigue was rife mid that , England wn very nearly being drawn into dangerous ei tanglcmcnts. Since then Lord Salisbury hn fdilflcd his course , reverting moro to the Pa merstoiiian policy , cultivating u. good undo : standing with Franco mid leaving the Go man powers to settle tlieir own policy. Tl mutual concessions in reference to the Siu canal and the New Hebrides came as kind c formal announcements to tlio new cnteiit cordiale , and Prince Hisimirok , who 1ms sec whither things were drifting , has hesitate no longer In playing his hist card and th Is Intended as a serious cheek to Russia si well IIH a warning to France. Tlio Mcditc raneaii comes within the scope of the , treat mid this project of turning that sea into ItiiHslun lake must once more bo postpone ) Tlio triple alliance can act only and bo r gurdcd as a sort of decree binding Russia an France to keep the peace. England takes coolly , but even she might not be beyond 11 reach of UK inlluence if 'renewed troub broke out in Kgypt. They could bo vet easily stirred up at any time , ns it would in bo dlfticult to inuko England responsible fi their existence and continuance. In sue n case , confronted by iv triple alliance , Eni land would bo driven to net with Franco. The great object of most statesmen heifer for years past has been to keep out of Eur liean complications. Lord Salisbury has u questionably worked towards the same cm especially of late , but the train laid by Prim Hismnrck may yet lead to results which fein in England expect. At any rate the govcr inent hero will have something to watch b hides the progress of tlio insurrection of Ir hind. It means to huvo no more scssloi wivcu up exclusively to Irish alTuhs. Mm will ask how that can be prevented under tl present rulesof the house of commons. Tin 1ms formed the subject of many dcliber tlons and the government believes th the solution of tlio difficulty is for tl rules to bo altered , and if nocc Miry Mill greater changes bo inslsU on in order that the contract of the popuU branch of the IcgUlaturo may bo recoverc for the business of the nation , The union ! party will stand nearly solid in demanding i supporting these reforms within the boil ! HCSBlous. Experience has convinced tl government that it wuuld bo useless to mo Parnoll again without some new weapon their hands. Tlio Irish party lias taken i the very clear line , "No business for nnyboi until lionTo rule is conceded. " Hcforetl next session opens the ministry will causa to bo announced at the usual meeting of tl Cotton club , if not bcfuro , that , they , to have a line they moan pursue nnd upon its success they w ! stake tlieir existence. As the probable u shot of thcso trials of strength It must not 1 forgotten that the ministry can command majority of over ono hundred and that tl doubtful liberal unionists are believed not exceed half u do/.cn. No party desires nether other general election , not even the Purno itcs , for that costs largo sums and two ok tlons in eight months left the funds very la Indejd. It is easy for platform orators talk about forcing llio government to dlssol tion , but it is not so easy to tell how it in bo done. How many members of parliament will 1 missing when the session opens on account unavoidable engagements of a most unp'.cn immature , Mr. O'Hrien will bo free , b tbo list of detinues scorns likely to incrcas Joseph Cox , member for East Clare , is to 1 bo hauled up and also James Ko' lands , member ft > r a London constlluenc Mill und Shcchy , Conybenro has managed keep out of trouble.

Tlioro have been whispers that a prosoni tlon would sUortly bo instituted ngaiust H Ion , aud that several other Kngllsh irnnbc Will have to nnsvvr for their conduct. T foe Hun Is growing that condemned porso should not bo forced to wear prison clothi nnd associate with convicts. .Strong ropi have l-ccn made to tl.c KIA-CI mcnt on this subject. I believe no final de cision has yet been arrived at. Since the secession of Dr. Newman from the English church no event has caused such a piofound sensation In the religious world as Mr. Spurgeon's withdrawal from the Hnptlst union. 1 gave you nn early In timation of this great shock to the nonconformist formist body. The effect surpasses unythlng vlilch was anticipated. Nothing else is dkcd of In dissenting circles. The whole of Burgeon's ' church will not withdraw from lie union nnd other churches will follow. Smno condemn Mr. Spurgcon on the ground f what they call his narrow-minded views ml of the scandal he Is bringing upon the Japtist community , but , so fur as very care- til inquiries enable me to Judge , the majority .prove. Spurpron's conduct nnd hold that 10 was driven to adopt it. Calvanlsm Is a strict creed , but hose who profess It should bo true to its principles mid not open the doors of com- 'minion wide enough to receive all sects mid even free thinkers. Such is Mr. Spurgcon's .insltion , mid nothing will turn him from Jt. The leaders of the union lire thrown into utter consternation. The Haptist newspapers ure all at logger heads. Only Spurgcon's own 01 gun , called Sword aud Trowel , is calm , col' : ectcd and conlldeut. The reverberations ol his explosion will be heard in all parts of ho civill/cd world. Lord Lytton 1ms had nil his plniiF upset by the mischance of Gerald Uiilfour falling ill with typhoid fevci n Ills house. Next Wednesday was the duj appointed for Hulfour's nnirrhigo with Lori !

There t * no foundation for the rumor cur rent here this evening that u scheme foi Inlying up tlio Irish landlords has been nm lured and is now cut and dried in tlio hand ! of the ministry. Several schemes , inclutlint Chii'iibcrlnin's , have been suggested , bu nothing luis yet been decided , and it is ovei doubtful whether the government will under take to deal ut all with the question of lane purcbr.se next year.

KftVct. of tliu Announcement of tin Dentil Merlin Gossip. /Mi * liv Jddlf * Gordon Ilcinutt , ] Hciti.ix , Nov. 5. [ Now York Ileral Cable Special to the HKK. ] The fact thn the kaiser spout a largo part of the week i bed is leading the Germans to believe tha aged emperors are not superior to nil tlio law of nature. On Tuesday the Herlin hours was for an hour dangerously near n panic. A Ingenious speculator , for whoso Idcntillcutio 2,000 marks nro now offered , sent out wun Ings to the principal brokers that the kaiser' death was hourly to be expected. Quotation began to drop and for a while It looked a though the bottom of the stock exchange 1m dropped out , Prices were hold up by th sides only. Fortunately , as luck would hav it , the llrst real improvement in the en peror's condition wns announced that afloi noon , so that the bourse recovered from It fright. Since then the kaiser has slowly n covered. His bladder pains have been wors than usual , complicated by rheumatism. Eac attack of this tyjns exhausts the emperor mor and moro and leaves him less able to cndur its repetition , but at this time ho seems snfel past danger. Barring another bit of such reel lessness as the Stettin trip or the Wernigei ode hunt ho will bo nblo to do safely for som time. All that he insists on doing wo huv hud this week. Tlio opening of the postage stamp ex change , a largo sGvcp.windowed room , wn crowded. One hundred and twenty-nine sul fccribers registered their names , Prices wcr astonishingly high. Ouo stamp was quote ns sold for 1,500 marks. While , according t oftleial records , dealings at fcV ) to tlOO jic stump were ct uncommon , The cxchang has a r < uhif organization of c-fllccraand eve an oiyan.

Thereupon a mo- lum placed the subject In n trance , pot rom her n full description of the murderer , ils present surroundings and friends , and Innlly , by n glgnutlo effort , the street , num- > cr mid n description of theUerlln dwelling n which the said murderer lay concealed. There wns Joy in tbo hearts of the officials vhen it was discovered. The location do- cribed is a vacant lot. The restorer of tlio Darmstadt Madonna , jy Hobbln , has received a grand medal for must und wlsscnschdft. A meeting of the directors of the zoolog- cul gardens has bean held In Hcrlln. The icxt meeting will bo held at Urcsslnu In l SS * The continual trouble on the Husso-'Jer- nan frontiers begins to attract seriousV.tlcn- Jon. The incidents fero much like tluso on the Franco-Russian frontier. The returns of the 'excited ' Catholic clergy is causing nil through Prussia a considerable amount of ill feeling. The first result of this s to give nn Impetus to the movement in the Prussian stnto looking- toward disestablish- ncnt of this stnto church. Regarding the re- urn of the monks nnd nuns , I saw recently . 'robst , n prominent churchman , who said .hat the number of returning clergy has been greatly exaggerated. Many of those driven from Prussia by the ructterkuinpf have set tled permanently 'n ' their new homes. These of the clergy , for instance , who went to America will , ns a rule , stay there. From Holland many will return , but como slowly and in such a way ns to give the least of fense , Many cloisters will bo refilled only with the recruits of n new generation. Ho ( Proust ) expressed strongly the opinion that he Catholic church hoabccn greatly strength ened , although Prussia , by the struggle , us ic claims Is shown by the great mini- tier of new Catholic churches now being built for cloister llfo. Ho predicts a notable revival all through Prussia. Ho thinks this Is the best means of combatting the worldly spirit of the times. Neither Probst himself or his aides could tell mo the number of clergy who have so far returned to Prussia. Frei- herr von Hammcrstcln , editor of the strong conservative protcstaut organ , the Kreuz Xeitung , has been ono of tlio strongest nnd most influential champions of Protestant dis- cstabliscmcnt. I went , therefore , to him to nsk why his church seeks separation from the Prussian government. Ho said : "At pres ent twenty million Protestants received from the Prussian government about one-fourth less money per year than Is granted to ten million Catholics. Furthermore , the Catho lics receive their money , say. two million marks , absolutely without the possibility ol parliamentary haggling or interference. We , on the other hand , must go each year to a parliament composed partly of Jews , Catho lies nnd atheists , nil of whom have n vote in deciding how much the Protestants shall receive and how inucti- money shall bo ex pended. Our church is also , in part , con trolled by a minister who is responsible tn this same parliament. What we ask is mere ly equality with Catholiesl or equal money granted according to our numbers ; a perpet ual grant like tha Catholic grant , not the subject of the parliament's interfer ence. During the Napoleonic wars , the churcV income , equal , according to present , values to four to 5,000,000 marks wascojjfiscatcd. Rcimbursal was promised , was evci taken into considera tion by Frederick Williclm IV. AVe do not nsk that the capital bo returned , but merely that interest bo given us as our right instead of , as nt present , a third ouly of the amount duo us , doled out annually by parliament. Our prospects are improving very fast. Na turally the danger caused by the Catholic victory stimulated the desire for disestab lishment. Five provincial synods have al ready petitioned the king for freedom. The three remaining synods will soon present similar petitions. Within twenty-three yours we will gain our point. The church will be exclusively controlled by a council appointed by the king ns chief bishop out of a numbci of church dignitaries selected by the provin cial synod. It will then be no longer possible that the practical head of the Protestant church shall be n Jew or Catholic. " "It is curious to sco strong conservative ? attempting to limit the dower of the king. " "Ah , but you are in error thinking this i ; our object. On the contrary wo wish tc relieve the king from an improper parliamen tary usurpation of power. Wo wish to be come again , in fact ns always in theory , chic : bishop of Prussia free from all restraint o parliament. " In talking over this subject one prcsen said to me , "ICulturkumpf failed because so cial democrats sprang-up wherever the Catho lie church was driven out. Furthermore the Catholic party in the reichstag bccami exceedingly troublesome. Hismarck prefer ! Catholicism to socialism , and since , Catholic ism must bo permitted finds it easier to den with the pope than the Catholic party. Ii fact ho will now govern the Catholics througl the pope or force them to rebel against tin l > ope. " Herlin musical circles have had enough ti gossip about this week. First came n row ii the Royal opera house , in which Dlrecto Von Strauso spoke his mind publicly am plainly to his chief intcndiint , Graf Hoch berg , on the strength of a bit of paper neci dentally picked up. The dirccto gave the intcndant the lie am was naturally nt . once suspended Public Interest in the matter isallthcgreutc because the Herlin opera has been of hit seriously crippled by either favoritism or in efficient management. Out of this discon Herlinors hope will como bettor urns't that the capital of tbo empire shall not an , longer bo notoriously Inferior in itsoj. rte to any one of half n do/en German towns The general opinion seems' to bo that Vo Strause will lose his place , but there is ills a strong feeling that it should not stop here Some reform Is demanded which shall pn vent Intrigues which { his scandal brought t light , or which shall at least make it impo ; siblo for Intrigues to' force Hcrlln to accej : indifferent opera whore it might an should have the best. As if to cmplmsiz the necessity for better munagemcn wo had hero Monday-us a guest at the opcr house Signer Goetz. Herlin went craz , about him. Scuts were not to bo had nt an price. The house , instead of dozing throng the singing , as Is the rule hero of late , wa wild with enthusiasm nnd behaved ver , much like starving people nt the sight o food. H was for Uorlin humiliating to so the quick recognition of Cologne's music.i superiority , As ono musical enthusiast sal' ' to mo : "For once opera-going In Herlin Is pleasure instead of a duty. " On Tuesday a the Philharmonic was given Wagner's earl ; symphonycoinposcd in IStt.but not pcrf orina for ubout fifty years. Unusual interest wa felt in it becausu Wagner himself got th partstogether to bo performed on his wife' birthday , but died before the performance Aftyr hearing the symphony 1 found the gen eral agreement of critics'was that there wer indications that Wagner's latter style especially In two or three bar * , resemble Rhelngold Cnetter Daoinerung , but thn this symphony Is not likely to be performs moro than twice in ur.y ouo city. Another Amcitcan girl Is turnnu ! the-tulle on the Germans and beating them In the in terpretation of their own music. Miss WhlU alter , who Is known by many Hrooklyn people ple , is to make her debut in Herlin on thellth in concert , under Jonchlmi's leadership. 1 hear n characteristic story ot Prlnco His- marck. Ho was at dinner nt Wrledrlek's Ruho when he received u telegram. Ho Immediately excused himself to his guests ami got tip to write the answer but , "Durchlancht , at least first finish your soup , " pleaded a guest. "Impossible , " answered Hismarck , "this telegram Is from my son Herbert , who does not like to bo kept waiting. If I waited ho would send another telegram. Ho Is very Industrious. ( With a sigh. ) If In my youth I had been half so Industrious 1 might have amounted to something. " A recent decision ot the Herlin court Is of some Interest to Americans. An Amer ican dentist who put the tltlo of doctor on his cards was complained against under u law forbidding graduates of foreign colleges to bear the title of doctor in Prussia. The court lined the dentist , with n warning to avoid a repetition of the offense. In answer to a question the court said the law applied to all foreigners and ho would line oven the crown prince's doctor , Mackenzie , If ho at tempted to adopt the title of doctor in Prussia. In the Gbainlicf of Deputies. PAUIS , Nov. C. The report of the com mittee appointed to enquire Into the Caffarel scandal was discussed in the chamber of deputies to-day. M. D. Asson declared that it was not u demand for an inquiry , but for the prosecution of Wilson which should be submitted to the chamber , the abuses in con nection with the seals and stamps being punishable by from six months to three years Imprisonment. Hu nsked Rouvier , prime minister , to explain the case of Wilson. M. Rouvier in reply , said that all the documents had been placed in the hands of the ministers of Justice. The discussion wns general ami closed amid great excitement. M. Culfuvru moved that the in quiry bo genoralnnd that it extend back as far as May , 187" , so as to include the time of tlio advent of the Dubroglio ministry. Rouvier denied that politicians had leveled scandals against President Grevy. The magistracy was above suspicion. The president's acts were always endorsed by n minister , there fore the ministers were responsible for such matters. Interpellations could be addressed to them on mutters for which they were responsible , but questions beyond tlio province of parliament came within the jurisdiction of the Judicial powers. On these grounds ho was opposed to tlio inquiry. Ho admitted tlio Justice of the feeling which actuated the chamber , but thought it was best to let matters take their natural course. A great uproar followed his remark , but Culfuvru's motion was llnally adopted. Jolibcrs then said the right was opposed to Calfavru's motion because it was directed against the accusers rather than the guilty. He nitido n motion , which was adopted , that the commission bo given the widest powers. The committee report was then adopted. Madam Cicrstor Sails. PAIIIS , Nov. 0.

[ Special Telegram tc lie BII : : . ] Advices from Siringllclil | say thai Uovcrnor Oglcsby's ' mull to-day was mud larger thiin yesterday , mid was composed ul most entirely of letters relating to tlio un- irehists. The excess of letters in their be mlf wns not so marked as heretofore. Cor tuin citizens appear to luivo bcoomo awak ened to the faut that the anarchist sympathlz era are besieging the governor with their up peals for mercy , mid u number have taker enough interest In the matter to drop a fov lines to inform the governor of their sym pathy with the element of law and order , Notwithstanding this , the communications From the friends of the anarchists outnumber the others two to one. As soon as the letters arc examined and indexed , they arc tcinporiv rily placed In the tin boxes of the stenograph' er's desk , whcro they may bo constantly ue cessible. When they become llllcd the con .cuts nro withdrawn and placed in the vault to make room for new-comers , .These boxus nro labelled : "An- irchists for clemency" and "Anarchists against clemency. " There nro two boxes ol : ho former marking for each of the latter. The task of indexing thcso voluminous con tribntions Inivo become so great Unit the clerks have had rubber stamps imulo foi special indexing , and tlio letters are now llled with printed characters in about tin same style that the boxes are labelled. Attorney General Hunt arrived to-daj from Mount Vcrnon , where ho stopped or route from Washington. He has not had tin audience with the governor yet. The state oftlccrs met this morning in the private oflici of the secretary of state to transact business which demanded their attention as com missioncrs of state contracts , but the an archlst question wns of such absorbing in tercst that they found difficulty In nttendiiif to anything else. The intensity of the inter est manifested about the s > tnte house in th < governor's probable action could not bi greater. Little else is talked of. Letterslmv < also begun to pour in upon the state officer : asking them to persuade Governor Oglesbj to commute the anarchists' sentences. Treas urer Tanner has received a number of letters tors from representative men in'the southcri part of the state , every oncof which has bcei emphatically in favor of hanging of the con deinncd men. Tlio letters have been deliv creel to the governor and placed among hi : collection. At tlio Jail to-day there was the usual num ber of visitors' The lirst to present hcrsel was Miss MuellerLingg's / sweetheart When she entered her face was fairly radi untwith smiles. Rushing to the barrlcadi Which separated her from her lover , shi opened up a newspaper which she held In he : hands and pointed out to him something tha was in it which caused them both to brcal out into merry laughter. Miss Mueller wai not allowed to hold converse with her lovoi long undisturbed this morning , however , li fact she was rather cut oat fron him , his attention being demanded am almost wholly occupied by others , win seemed to think the business they had 01 hand was more ipiportant than the mere bill Ing and cooing of light-hearted lovers. / shortHimo after Miss Mueller got there Cap tain Hlack's mysterious friend , whoso mum is kept a close secret by everybody win knows anything ubout It , arrived and at onci devoted himself to an argument with Ling ) with a view of inducing him to sign the peti tion for a commutation of tlio sentence Lingg heard him patiently for a time am then stopping back u pace or two from tin barricade , with his head thrown forward li front of him until it almost touched tlio win screen , from his lips there poured a torren of burning words accompanied by a swuyinf of his body and wild gesticulating with hi hands and arms. It was evident that the ai gumcnt used by his would-be benefactor hut not Very much weight with him , but on the con trary gave him mi opportunity to cxprcs : moro decisively than ever his determlnatioi not to move a linger to save himself , and hi delianco of all the law can do to him. Thei others of the visitors tried the force of thci influence on him but all wit li no avail , Hi reported Unit Lingg has received letters fron his mother and sister in Switzerland urgini and imploring him not to sign any pctltioi lor pardon or clemency if ho is innocent bu rather to die a hundred deaths than do so Still the effort to Induce htm to relent wil not bo relaxed till the very last moment nm the utmost pressure which , hls counsel friends and fellow-anarchists on the outsid will bo brought to bear on him to put hi name on the paper. While Lingg poses u : a dospcmto and fearless anarchist his recori does not hour out the hitter part of the cluii mid it is thought by those who know him bos that there will bo no trouble about his sign Ing a petition begging for mercy when th time comes. On the night of the Haymarke massacre Lingg nnd u companion were de tailed to blow up the North Side police sU tions and to throw bombs into the passin patrol wagons , but although the two me started out on their expedition well oqulppe with bombs of Ling-g's own iminufactur their hearts failed thorn when they ni preached the police station nnd they bet ! wont to bed. Lingg's companion afterward turned state's evidence. Mrs. I'arsons was another of the llrst nrr vals to day. She got there earlier than I her wont , and slio brought with her a baske of the literature which her main business I life at present is to distribute. Her first pn reeding on entering the jail to-day was t supply n number of fellow-prisoners of lit husband with copies of his uulo-biogruph ; She sold quite a number of them. When HI had supplied all who would buy she devote herself to her husband , and hud a long coi vcrsution with him in u corner away froi any of the others. August Spies had an ui usual number of visitors this morning. Fin came his brother Chris and his wife with little infant In her arms. Then his mothc arrived nnd later on Miss V'nu/andt and the came another young lady. The editor of the Alarm , Parson's ol paper , said this afternoon : "I foci certul that three of the men , if not four of tliun will hang. If they had all stuck togetht none would , bccnuso they would all bo nm tyrs then and society dares notdo that. Tli three men huvo been conscientious in slgnlii it , mind you. They huvo been led to boliov it was a mcro matter of form , Hko signln the appeals to the stnto nnd federal supreir courts a mere matter of form , not a matte of principle. Tlio rest'of the men will r < coivo commutation. " "Will there bo any trouble nt the time < the execution I" "Not in the least. " "Will there bo nny nt the funeral ?

I simply wanted 'i fallow how men's minds cliiuipo. That bon was the greatest educator of the worlui classes that could have boon devised if ona had deliberately set to work to plan such a thing. " Mr. Lutu mentioned In his conversation the fact that Parsons had intrusted to him ills manuscript for revision and had htm nniko provision for his funeral. "Ho Is Is ready to dlo nnd expects to. Ho has even bidden farewell to nil his friends. " It was rumored this ? afternoon , but could not bo traced to a reliable source , that Most the notorious New York anarchist ami Justus Schwab , an enemy of law nnd order hut n little less deeply dyed than the Now York lire-cater would bo In Chicago In n few days to bid farewell to their doomed comrades. Most and Schwab , It Is said , plnco no reliance in the reports that the governor Is inclined to u favorable consideration of the cases of i\6 least some of the men , mid nro making ready to stir up the worklngnion of the country by making an extended lecturing tour through out tlio west. At tlio jail I'arsons professed to bo in Ignorance of the future plans of his New York friends but evinced no biirpriso when Informed of tlio rumor. Thu table set aside in the Palmer house restaurant to-day , where Francis Train hud Invited the wives and the children of the condemned anarchists to dlno with him , stood deserted at 1 o'clock. It had been nicely spread nnd tastefully decorated under the special orders of Citiren Train and by the best skill of the head waiter. As the regular dally guests arrived they contrived to obtain seats as near this table as possible for the snko of observing what was likely to take place. Hut they were nil doomed to disai > - polatment. the same as Mr. Train. Mrs. Par sons had promised to gather the invited guests and have them at the Palmer IIOUHO promptly at 1 o'clock. Hut she too was dis appointed nnd early this morning communi cated with Mr. Train that she would bo un- nblo to gut the company together. The bau- ciuet was consequently postponed. Governor OBlosliy "Will Not Talk. SrnixnriiiMi , 111. , Nov. fi. Interest in the anarchist case at the capital Is approaching fever heat and every move of Governor Ogicsby is watched with the most Intense In- tercst. A small nrmy of newspaper correspondents - spondents has been besieging his oftlcc , and to them ho said to-day : "I have resolved to say nothing about the matter. If I talked to the Dress at all I might say something un guardedly that I did not menu , or I might bo misunderstood by you enterprising gentle men , hence , with fairness to all , 1 must re fuse to reply to any question regarding the anarchist matter. " Tlio governor's mail to-day was larger than it has yet been. It was said a communication had been received from Colonel Hubert Ingersoll in behalf of the condemned men , but the truth of thU could not be learned. Certain it is , however * that n-.iiny eminent men have cither signed the petitions or written the governor asking clemency. On the other hand , it is said on apparently good authority that the mails are bringing In numerous letters and petitions urging a rigid execution of the law on the ground of public policy. The different kinds of letters and petitions as soon as read nro indexed and Hied nwny in boxes. Tlio governor to-day had a consultation with Attorney General Hunt , this being the llrst interview with him since the hitter's return from Washington. The object of the confer ence is of course unknown , us well as its re sult. Wiley Jones , democratic member of the house of representatives , received a telegram from a committee of the united labor party at Chicago , asking him to assist them in pre senting ii petition to Governor Oglesby Mon day. Mr. Jones docs not yet know what ho is expected to do and will say nothing about the matter. _ Commutation Talk. CHICAGO , Nov. 5. State's Attorney Grin- ncll gave Instructions this morning to the clerks of the criminal courts to prepare no calendar for next week- This means there nro to bo no courts in anticipation of the exe cution. Judge Frank linker , who Is now sitting in criminal court , signed n petition for commu tation this morning. Now that there seems to bo a stampede in tlio direction of a com mutation of sentence for the convicted anarchists , it may bo well to mention what effect it has already had in u very important section of the community the police force. Already a feeling akin to dismay has arisen among tlio blue coats. A veteran officer voiced tlio general sentiment of the force thin morning when ho puid : "If these men are allowed to triumph over law through the meddlesome intervention of any people , to save whoso lives and property wo risked our own on that awful night of May 4. you will find Unit tlio police force of Chicago will never " light an other battle with tlio Chicago anarchists. It is very well to say it is a terrible thing to take seven human lives , but it is not moro terrible than the way in which they took the lives of seven of our boys and maimed dozenn of them .that May evening. Hut I suppose the life pf a police officer 1st as nothing when weighed against that of nninchists. " The discontent , it is believed , will boon llnd some stormy public expressions. Letter ol' Spies , Scliwnl ) anil Flclitcn. CIIICAOO , Nov. 5. All extraordinary com munication. signed by Spies , Schwab nnd Fielden , dlsawowing "aggressive forco" nnd deploring the loss of lifo at the Hnymarket , was ( jlvcn out to-night for publication. It is addressed to Governor Oglesby and It is to bo forwarded to him with a formal petition for clemency. The guarded wording of the document is not , as able as its matter , particu larly us this is the llrst expression of the kind any of the condemned anarchists have made. Parsons , it is understood , ui-qulcscic * in its contents nnd will address a separate letter of his own to the governor , embodying the same Ideas. Lingg , Engcl and Fischer steadfastly refuse , however , to go on record with any hiicli declaration. The following is the letter in full : Governor Kichard Oglesby , Springfield , 111. Sir : In order that the truth may bo known by you and the public you represent wo desire to state that wo 'never advocated the use of force except In case of self-de fense. To accuse us of having attempted to overthrow law and government on May 4 , ISM ) , or at any other time is as false as it 1st abused. Whatever wo sild : or did was said and done publicly. Wo have never con spired or plotted to commit an unlawful act. Wliile WD attacked the present social ar rangements in writing and upvcch and nx- posed their iniquities , wo huvo never con sciously broken any laws. So far from hav ing planned thu killing of anybody at the Haymarket , or unywhero else , the very object of the meeting was to protest against the commission of murder. Wo believe It to bo our duty im the friends ol labor and liberty to oppose any other lisa ot force than is necessary In defense of sacrcil rights against unlawful attacks. All our efforts have been In the direction of elevating mankind and to remove us much as posslblo the cause of crime In society , Our labor wns unseltlsh. No motives of personal gain or ambition prompted us. Thousands and thous ands will bear testimony to this. Wo may have erred at times In our Judgment yes wo may have "loved mankind not wisely , but too well. " If in the excitement of propagat ing our views wo. worn led Into expressions which caused workingmen to think thub aggressive force was a proper instrument of reform , we regret it.
