King was arrcitcd and lined for Iho offense named , and tha at llrst trivial case has been In the state and federal courts over since and Is now pending In the United States supreme court. The original sentence was nfllrmod by the state supreme court. Then the defense was undertaken by the Na tional Secular association , who employed Don M. Dickinson and carried the ease to the United States circuit court on a writ of habeas cornus. Judge Hammond ruled that tha federal government had no riirht to ro- vlow the state's decision and the cauo was thereupon appealed to the supreme court of the United States. It is not unlikely the Adventlsts will still push the case to a con clusion in spite of King's death. CIllO.iOU'M . \.lltOJHfffH. . 1'ollcy Ilio City A-iihorltlcs AVItl Pur- HIIO III Dealing with Them. CHICAGO , 111. , Nov. 13. Seventeen alleged anarchists , arrested at last nlgbfs meeting , were arraigned In Justice court this morning. ComphitnU were made against them , sorao for resisting oflleors , others for carrying con cealed weapons and for disorderly conduct. Several police ofilcors were examined and iholr evidence was practically the same as the story of last night's arrests. When the court assembled again the crowd of oil-lookers was somewhat loss. Lawyer Cox began the examination of the seventeen defendants and completed that of four of them. Each will bo examined singly and the case gives cvidonco of being a long ono. The defense attempted to prove by its wit nesses that the meeting raided by the ofllccrs was n peaceable ono and had no connection with any anarchistic movement whatever , being merely a regular business mooting of the Socialistic Publishing society. This evening a bill was Hied in the circuit court by Thomas Grief to restrain Mayor Washburno , Superintendent of Police Me- Claughroy , Inspector Lewis and Captain Mahoney from entering upon the promises owned by complainant , or from interfering with any meetings or asscmblys hold In his hrll. The case will probably como up before JudgoTulloy tomorrow morning. Both Mayer Wnshborno and Cblof Mc- Clnughrov today , in speaking of the arrest of anarchists at Grief's hall , advanced the belief that the object of tne meeting and tbo organ ized plot of the anarchists was not to commit any acts of violence nor to throw bombs , butte to keep up an anarchistic agiutlon to con vince foreigners that Chicago will not bo a safe place to como to In the World's fair year , cither to exhibit goods or see them. "Tho action of Inspector Lewis In break ing up the meeting has my eutlro approval , " said the mayor , 'iho Incendiary utterances of the unarchUts must bo stooped , for they nro likely to do Chicago Incalculable injury ; injury far greater than nuy damage they could do by overt violence. "What will your policy bo ? " ' To suppress with a firm hand all meetings hold to advocate nnaronlstic principles. " "Will you revoke Grief's license for his saloon and hall If the policemen recommend HI" HI""Will revoke any license that the police recommend. " Major McClaughroy expressed the same view of the purpose of the present agitation. "What reason have you for this belief ! " "Wo arc Jttstilled in ilrawlucr the con clusion from the remarks of the speakers at the meeting. They nil cry for revenge on Chicago. " Moses Solomon who applied to the circuit court for an injunction to restrain the police from interfering with the meetings in Grief's hull called on the chief with his client Grief and with Assistant Corporation Counsel Chotwln to Inform him of the agreement that had been entered into by himself and Mr. Chotwin that the nollco should mterforo with 110 pc.iroablo meetings there until the courts should hoar the application. Mr. Solomon omen objected to the word ' 'peaceable , " claiming there wore no other kind of meet ings so it was unnecessary , but Mr. Chotwin would not agree to the stipulation without It. As the stipulation did not restrict the right of the police to docldo w nut Is and what Is not a peaceable meeting , the chief agreed to it.

It is reported that the govern ment troops under General Isadoro Gonsalez were dofcatcd and the insurgent cavalry started on a move toward tbo north. It is also reported that Governor Casttlho of Rio Grande do Sul has decided to Join the insur rectionary movement. The revolutionists claim that thn dictator Is so sick that ho finds it impossible to continuo the campaign with any degree of activity. These statements are evidently made by enemies of da Fonsoca , for the news comas from Rio Janeiro that ho is displaying great energy in his efforts to crush the revolt. Ho is massing troops and preparing his warships for an early attack on the revolutionists. Ho has applied to the government of Uruguay for permission to allow the passage of troops through tnat country in order to roach the state of Rio Uraudo do Sul. Uruguay , it is said , has granted the permission requested. Itcvolt In Sproiidlni ; . The revolt now Involves all the towns of the state with the exception of Porto Alle gro.

The people of the country generally favor the revolt and gtvo the rebel troops food and other assist ance in their power. At Ynguaron the troops were kept in order by the national guard , who prevented thorn from becoming seditious. Of the entire navy only the gun boat Camoon has taken up the cause of the revolution. The balance of the navy has re mained faithful to da Fonseca. In all probability there will bo a crisis In the affairs in Rio Grande do Sul before the end of the next week , for it is expected in Rio that the forces sent there by tbo dictator will reach the borders of the state by that time. _ FonBcca's Move Kxpcctcd. | Co > l/rffl/it / 1S7/ tina > nei Monton lienntit. } Rio JANBIHO , Brazil ( via Galveston , Tex1- ) Nov. 13 , | Hy Mexican Cable to the Herald Special to Tin : Urn.
