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.

Is a general understanding here , though It
has not been officially announced , that Ad
miral Jorge Montt will appoint two consorvn-
tores as state councillors. This leaves the
liberals In n majority of three In the council ,
but It Is said to bo satisfactory to Scnors
Walker. Martinez and Irrarazabal , and they
will probably withdraw tbolr resignations

There is general gratification at the fact
that Admiral Montt ha ? called Senor Altlmi-

ho will bo called upon to form n cabinet
when Montt has been formally Installed as
president.
Some of the foreign ministers find n good
deal of difficulty In getting along with Minister -
tor of Foreign Affairs Matte. Ho has very
peculiar Ideas of diplomatic usages. The diplomatic -
lomatic corps ire no rally concur in the opinion
that Senor Isadoro Errazuriz , who held the
portfolio of foreign affairs under the Junta at
Iqulquo has the best knowledge of Jntorna-
tlonal affairs of any of the Chilian statesmen
and is well fitted for the post of foreign min
ister.

York Herald Special to TUB Bun. ] News
has .been received hero to the effect that the
revolt against do Fonsoca In the state of Rio
Grande do Sul has been so far successful In
n fight In which 5,000 men of all arras were
engaged. 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. General Astrpglldo commands the Insurrectionary
'
surrectionary force's In the field. 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.

LONDOX , Nov. 13. The executive commlt
tee of the conservative associations 1ms
drafted a platform to bo adopted at tbo party
caucus , which opens In litnnlngham Novem
ber 23 , ns iho final program of the party for
the coming elections. The distinctive nauio
given to the National union conference docs
not apply iho inclusion of tha liberal union
element , The caucus will bo purely conservative
vative and will consist of Joint delegates
drawn from the English and Welsh con
stituencies. The executive commltteo , in
view of the momentous character of Iho
resolutions , as embodying authoritative party
Utterances , have been long discussing thorn
and finally approved them yesterday.
A perusal of advance proofs of the resolutions
shows that tbo loading proposal concerns
Ireland ana discloses the fact that the con
servative leaders have resisted tbo appeal of
an Influential section of the party to ignore
Irish affairs. The confctcnco will bo asked
to endorse tbo intention of the ministers to
extend local government and promote
technical education In .Ireland. As a con
cession to the labor vote the conference will
declare In favor of the principle of labor
representation , and will urge Iho conserva
tives to support labor candidates every u here
who appeal to outer public life upon no party
linos.
A resolution proposed by II. Vincent , M.
P. , nn eager advocate of imperial federation ,
who has just returned f.om America full of
wratn against the McKInlov law , favors n
preferential tariff throughout the British
empire , the adoption of which will not com
mit the party loaders. Next , the "ono man ,
ono voto" principle is denounced , whllo it is
declared that tha ballot net must bo amended
to exclude Illiterate voters.
Lord Salisbury , Prime Secretary Matthews
and Sir J. E. Gorst will deliver addresses at
the meeting. The liberal unionists , under
tbo leadership of Mr. Chamberlain , will en
tertain the delegates.
The conservative bribes to the labor vote
wi.l energize the Gladstonlnn movement to
establish a ' 'labor candidate fund. "
Mr. Schnadhorst finds that grants of
inonoy to labor aspirants nro largely wanted.
It Is reported that Andrew Carnegie offers to
place In the hands of a trustee a lurgo sum as
iho nucleus for the proposed fund.
Startling evidence has boon laid before the
labor commission In regard to the condition
of the ooorativos in the textile trades in Lan
cashire and Yorkshire.
The British admiralty Is much excited over
the growing record of defects in the great

LONDON' , Nov. 13. riomo surprise was expressed -
pressed in this city upon the receipt of a dis
patch announcing toe extraordinary activity
which was being displayed by tbo Russian
government in connection with the Internal
disturbances which are known to oxlst In the
empire. It was thought at first that the
government's action was duo from tbo iroublo
arising from Ibo scarcity of food existing
in many districts of Russia , as for some days
past dispatches have boon received in this
ciiy domcling with minuteness the terrible
sufferings of the starving peasants. Manv
acts of lawlessness have bean reported AS
having been coramitled by men rendered
desperate by the pangs of hunger and the
statement made that Iho morsbals of the no
bility would bo held to a strict accountability
for any disturbances in their districts was
taken to mean that the starving peasants und
smnlt farmers wore assuming a threatening
attitude.
A dispatch received this evening stated
that a short tlmo ago it came to the knowl
edge of the police that a conspiracy was
under way.- The authorities were able to
learn who the conspirators were , ' their places
of meeting and everything connected with
the plot. Whllo secretly pursuing their In
vestigations In St. Petersburg tboy
found that the conspirators in that city were
onlyu part. jf ) a very numerous band , the
headquarters of which was located
in Moscow. They learned also that
mo cqnsplrators ha * been very nc-
'
live in .securing a'dherdnts to tliclr plan
and that the conspiracy had rami'lcations
which spread to nil the principal cities of the
emplro. The object of the conspiracy Just
unearthed , unlike a majority of the plots dis
covered In Russia , was not to kill the czar ,
but was the organization of a movement
having for Its end the "creation of a repre
sentative assembly nil object which nns
ben the dream of many Russians for years.
Sixty members of the nobility and of the
upper and middle classes , who ore charged
with complicity in the conspiracy , have been
arrested.
The discovery of the plot and the arrest of
so many prominent subjects has caused a
decided sensation to Russia.
