In tlio House.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 19. Tlio chief event
In tlm senate today occurred In executive
session , and was tlio proinptkuile of the
confirmation of the supreme court nomina
tion of the president , without referring It
to a committee. The haste of the senators
to nho\v courtesy to their colleague would
not even 'penult Senator Daniel of Virginia
to finish his speech on tlio Hawaiian resolu-
tlon. When Senator Caffery , the colleague
of Senator White , appeared In the chnmhor
on hl.s return from lunch ho was apprised
of the nomination of his colleague to be
justice of the supreme court , and without
v/altlng for nny Initiative on tlio part of
Senator Caffery , Senator Daniel , after an
Interchange of glances with his fellow scn-
Btor.s , announced that ho would conclude
his Hpecch later , and Senator CafTery moved
that tlio senate proceed to tlio consideration
of executive business.
The doors wore closed , but the representa
tives of the press outside needed no special
message from tha Interior to apprise them
that tlio proceedings were In marked con
trast to the Hectics that attended the last
two supreme court nominations.
Tint opening session of the senate was
unusually devoid of Interest. Senator Halo
presented a resolution to Investigate certain
printing contracts , but the matter did not
oven create a discussion , although the reso
lution was adopted.
Senator Daniel opened his argument In
Ftipport of the administration In the
Hawaiian matter and will conclude to
morrow.
Mr. Sherman , republican , of Ohio , who has
been III for several days , was again In his
Beat.
Beat.A
A memorial from citizens of Malno , pro
testing against putting lumber on tlio free
list , was presented by Senator Hale , republi
can , of Maine , who requested that It be
printed as a senate document.
Senator Mcl'herson , democrat , of Now
'Jersey ' protested , saying that If every peti
tion on tarllt subjects should bo printed the
printing ofllco would be kept biH > y for the
next three months. Ho thought the finance
committee could obtain all tlio information
necessary by merely reading tlio petition.
After Senator Hale had Intimated that lie
would read the petition and thereby secure
HH printing In the Hocord , If necessary ,
Benator McPherson withdrew his objection.
SPANISH CLAIMS.
A resolution was presented by Senator
'Call , calling for Information from the presi
dent regarding claims against the .United
Btatcs under the treaty of 1810 with Spain.
He took occasion to warn claimants from
signing blank powers of attorney , which
are being sent out by speculative attorneys.
The resolution went over. ,
Senator Halo presented a resolution , which
was adopted , Instructing the committee on
printing to examine Into all the. facts and
circumstances connected- with the claim of
the National Lithographic company of Wash
ington , D. C. , for the publication of the
1'atont Olllco Gazette. This resolution was
Incited by a publication suggesting Irregu
larities In letting the contract.
The house bill , fixing the limit of the In
debtedness of Salt Lake , Utah , was taken up
and passed.
The Hawaiian resolution was then called
up. and Senator Daniel , democrat , of Vir
ginia took the floor.In support of the reso
lution. IIo said that when President
Cleveland was Inaugurated , ho said that
Minister Stevens had claimed himself pro
tector of the Islands of Hawaii and had
taken possession of the Islands with Ameri
can military forces nnd had hoisted the
American Hag over the territory. Ily this
net of the American minister , President
Cleveland , when ho came Into power as
protector of the Hawaiian Islands and by
operation of the law , was Commander-in-
chief of our forces there nnd the responsi
ble authority to which the nations of the
earth would ho bound to address themselves.
The sugar Interests * , said Senator Daniel ,
had played a largo part In this revolution.
If Queen Lllhiokalanl was a woman of that
questionable character now charged by her
opponents , why was It that the treaty sug
gested and framed by the friends of the
revolutionist committee made provision for
annually paying $20,000 for her maintenance ,
a higher recognition than had boon accorded
by this government to the widows of the
great heroes of the civil war. It was be-
canso Him had been robbed , and this annuity
was a conscience fund.
Tlio president was fully within his con
stitutional warrant In all ho had done. He
hud , at the beginning , done two things
jyhleh seemed fitting to bo done. He had
" "
"withdrawn the pending treaty ' nnd had
designated Mr. James II. Illont , a states
man of high character , to go to the scene
of action and ascertain and report to him
the trim condition of things ) . The appoint
ment of Mr. Illount was fully within the
scope of the president's power ; when the
facts wcro learned President Cleveland did
only his duty. To the honor of our history
the erring minister , Stevens , had no exam
ple. In his extraordinary action , and was
promptly rebuked by the executive for Ms
unwarranted course. People , said Mr.
Daniel , called Mr. Dlount a spy , with all the
Ignominy attached to thoterm. There was
no secret about his appointment. Hut If
Mr. niount was a spy Minister Stevens , In
asmuch as ho assisted Mr. Illount In his In
vestigations , was an assistant spy.
( HUNT'S POLICY CITED.
Ho referred to President Grant's desire to
annex San Domingo to the United States.
Minister Stevens had sought to justify his
actions by referring to Secretary Itayard's
letter of July 12 , 1SS7 , but the keynolo of
that letter was "abstinence from Interfer
ence with domestic affairs. " Hut there was
ono thing In that letter which .Mr. Stevens
had overlooked.
Referring to thi > efforts of the provis
ional government to have accorded to It thai
dufertiniv and revpect duo t < ) a great govern
ment , Mr. Daniel said the Harrison adminis
tration had treated It us a "vagrant to bo
put In the calaboose us having no visible
means of support. "
SpcuKIng of the landing if troops under
the pica that they wcro needed to protect
American life ami property. Mr. Daniel eald
neither wan threatened at the time , but that
0x0181 * was to bo put In "cold Murage , " to
lie taken out when needed. The facts were
that the queen eurrriulored her crown only
after assurance that her appeal would br

nnco , too , had been given by u representa

WASHINGTON , Feb. in. The filibuster
over the Hllvcr bill In the house continued
until -I o'clock this afternoon , when an ad
journment was hod to glvo the democrats
a clmiico to consider the situation In caucus.
Mr. Marsh , republican , of Illinois asked
unanimous consent for the consideration of
his bill authorizing the construction of a
wing dam canal and power station In the
DCS Molnes rapids of the Mississippi In
Hancock county , Illinois. There was no
objection and the bill was passed.
At the request of Mr. Ulngham , republican ,
of Pennsylvania , March 31 at 1 o'clock was
made a special order for paying tribute to
the memory of Charles O'Neill of Penn
sylvania.
Mr. Martin , chairman of the committee
on Invalid pensions , reported back tlio
Tawney resolution , calling on the secretary
of the Interior for certain Information re
garding some suspended pension cases , with
a favorable recommendation , and It' was
passed.
Mr. Bland then moved to go Into committee
of the whole on the selgnlorago bill and ,
pending that , moved that all general de
bate be closed , and on motion demanded
tha previous question. Tlio ayes nnd nays
were called for by Mr. Tracey , democrat , of
New York , and , repeating their former tac
tics , the democratic and republican members
of the committee sat silent and refused to
vote. The vote resulted 171 to 4 , two short
of a quorum.
On motion of Mr. Illand a call of the house
was made. .
The call developed the presence of 251
members and the vote again recurred on
Mr. Miami's motion.
IJeforo the clerk began calling the roll
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts suggested that
as it was evident n quorum could not bo ob
tained to close debate , the motion ho with
drawn and the debate ho allowed to run on.
Mr. Illand declared that he should persist
until a vote on the bill was passed , or until
It was fully demonstrated that a majority
of the house was opposed to the measure.
After this Interuptlon the clerk proceeded
with the roll call. The motion again failed
for lack of quorum 150 to 0.
Another call of the house was had and
the elusive quorum reappeared.
A roll call on Mr. Illand's molten followed
and resulted , 1G2 to 2 this time twenly-
flvo short of a quorum.
Again , on motion of Mr. niand , a call of
tlio house was ordered.
During the call of the house the presi
dent's executive clerk appeared with addi
tional Hawaiian correspondence , which was
received and placed on the speaker's desk.
Upon announcement of the resull of the
roll call 1C2 to 2 Mr. niand offered a
resolution revoking all leaves of absence
except on sickness , and Inslrucllng the
sergeant-at-arms lo arrcsl all absenlees , llio
order to continue until vacated. Mr.
Dhmd demanded the previous quesllon , and
pending that Mr. Tracey moved that the
house adjourn. On a rising vote It was
lost 74 to 1U < ; whereupon Hie yeas and nays
were demanded. Mr. Tracey's motion was
lost by a vote of Ifil to (15. (
Mr. Tracey , pursuing the filibustering pro
gram , moved that when the house adjourned
today It bo to meet on Wednesday , but his
motion was ruled out of order. Tlio republicans - .
licans and democratic opponenls of Iho
seigniorage bill then refused to vote on the
demand for the previous question on Mr.
Miami's resolution lo nrrcsl absentees , and
It resulted in a vote of 123 lo 3. The point
of no quorum'was made , but Mr. Dockery
( In the chulr ) ruled that a quorum was not
necessary.
The motion recurred on the adoption of
the resolution , which resulted In a vote of
110 lo 0.
Mr. Heed made Iho point of no quorum ,
and. In the midst of some excitement , ex
plained that In hl.s opinion It required a
quorum to pass a resolution whoso execution
lasted beyond the adjournment today.
The chair overruled Iho point of order
and declared Iho resolullon carried. There
upon Mr. Hland moved lo adjourn , and upon
Iho announcement of adjournment the cleik
read Iho call for a democratic caucus Im
mediately. The announcement was greeted
with republican cheers.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 19. This afternoon
the president sent to Iho senate the nomina
tion of Scnalor Edward D. White lo be
assoclalo Jitsllco of the supreme court , to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Justice
Itlutchford. The senalo had hardly lime
to recover from Its surprise when Senator
White's confirmation was announced.
The nomination was not referred to Iho
committee at nil and In less than an hour
after Iho nomination had been received the
Bonalo had placed Its seal of approval upon
the Bolccllon ,
The nomination was received Ihrough
Prlvalo SocreUiry Priiden about 2:10 : , and
an oxecullvo session was Immediately
moved. The senate had been sluing behind
closed doors less llian half an hour when it
became known that the motion to confirm
without reference had been carried without
opposition. The vole was unanimously and
heartily in favor of conllrmatlon. The pro
ceedings prior to the casllng of Hie vole
consisting entirely of the delivery of
eulogistic speeches by members of
the ftonuto Judiciary committee
and by Senator Caffery. There was Iwo
speeches by democratic members of the
committee and two by republican members.
Senators Pugh anil Hill spoke for the demo
cratic side and Senators Hoar and Teller
for the republican side. All the speeches
were laudatory nnd congratulatory , both to
Iho president and Mr. While. The senalo
nvon felt KO good uatureil over Iho whole
affair that II decided to remove tlio Injunc
tion of secrecy , and the newspapers were
notified llmt they \\ero at liberty to publish
the details of the proceedings.
While the senate acted promptly and
without hesitation upon the nomination , it
is still a fad that It was a great surprise
at Iho capital. Tlio president sent for Sen-
nlor While and his colleague. Mr. Caffcry ,
lasl night , nnd upon their arrival at the
white house made known the purpose of hla
Invitation for ft conference.
Mr. White , whllo expressing a deep sense
of obligation , was much surprised , and was
doubtful as lo whether ho should accept.
Ha asked the president for time to consider
and left without giving his consent. This
morning ho 'still was unable to say posi
tively that ho preferred the ofllco to lhat of
seuator , and It was not until just before
noon that ho gave his assent.
The belief Is strong In the Louisiana dele
gation lhat Representative Illanchard will
bn appointed as senator to nil the unox-
plred term of Mr. White.
Without exception all Iho republicans and
prominent ofllclals In llils city Interviewed
express entire satisfaction with the presi
dent's selectionKdward Douglas White will
take his scat on the supreme bench as the
yoifngest of the justices , nnd , with the ex
ception of Justices Field nnd llarlan , he will
have entered the office at at earlier period In
life than nny of the other justices and will
liavo the exceptionally long term of twenty-
one years to servo before retirement. Ho
was born In the parish of La Fourche , Louisi
ana , forty-eight years ago. He was educated
at Mount St. Mary's , near Emmotsburg , Sid. ,
at the Jesuit college In New Orleans and
finally at Oeorgolown college , District of Co-
lumbla. Ho entered , the confederate army
and after the war was admitted to tlio bar
by the Louisiana supreme court , and prac
ticed his profession during the troubled years
which followed the reconstruction period. In
1874 he began hla political career as a stale
senator. Leaping Into the law again he became
associate juetlco of the supreme court of
Louisiana In 1S7S. but agnln turning to politi
cal pursuits he WHS elected lo the United

BROOKLYN. Vob. 10. "Iiow long will ho
get ? " was the quesllon which one heard
everywhere In Brooklyn Ihls morning. On
Iho elevated roads , on the street cars and
on sidewalks , wherever two or three men
could ho seen together , It Is safe to say lhat
they wcro lalklng about the McKane case.
At Iho courl house crouds of anxious men
besieged the doors of the court room , nnd the
policemen had a herculean task In keeping
them from breaking down Ihc doors In Ihelr
anxiety to get In to secure a good position ,
at which they could hear nnd see everything
which took place.
Sergeant White , with twenty-two men
from the police station , slrugglcd hard to
make way for the reporters who got Into the
court room through the Judge's entrance.
The doors of the court wore tightly locked ,
but the gallery doors were left open.
Finally , one by one , the spectators were
let In , and just at 9:55 : the door opened wide
and John Y. McKane , accompanied by Sheriff
Buttling , entered. Ho was apparently the
most unconcerned man In the court room ,
and walked about talking to his friends ,
who , ono and all , shook him warmly by the
hand. Kvery one who saw him remarked
his wonderful nerve and self-possession. He
had a short conversation wllh his counsel ,
Fosler L. Dackus. They sat beside each
other u few inonictils later and bolh were
laughing heartily at somelhlng lhat waa said
by a man silling near by ,
The prosecullng lawyers , A. M. Sheppard ,
Colonel Lamb and Joseph Wernberg were
also In courl and held a consultation. IJy
10:15 : the corridors were rendered almost Im
passable , as the crowds swarmed on the
stairways nnd hallways and out onlo the
street.
NRW T1HAL DENIED.
At 10:06 : Judge Bartlett took his seat on
the bench.
Mr. E. C. James then stood up and said :
"Your honor , I appear for the defendant ,
Mr. John Y. McKane. I move for n new
Iriol under section 4D5 code of criminal
procedure , subdivision 5 nnd C.
Judge liartlett denied Iho motion. '
Then Mr. James asked the court to take
Into consideration that the defendant had
never been convicted of any felony and lhat
his previous character bo taken inlo con-
slderallon.
Judge Dartlctt said ho did not see any
circumstances which would warrant such
discretion.
Mr. James Ihen asked for a slay of execu
tion of judgment for twenty days to enable
the defendant to move on a notice for cer
tificate of reasonable doubt.
Mr. Sheppard said that tt would be betler
for defendant's counsel lo wait until senlenco
was pronounced before making this applica
tion. IIo moved for sentence to be passed.
McKane. when naked what ho hdd to say ,
said : "I do not know that I can say any
thing but what I said on the Bland during
this trial. I have never done anything
wrong to any ono so fur as I know. I never
did anything directly or indlreclly wrong
wllh regard lo Iho elecllon , nor did I ever
counsel any one else lo do anylhlng wrong.
I again say lhat I am not gullly of any of
fense against Ihe law.
Judge Hartlett then proceeded to pass sen
tence , and said :
"I do not feel Inclined to disregard the
recommendation to mercy made by the Jury.
The1 crime which the defendant committed
was a serious one. That great crime seems
to be ono that demands an emphatic sen
tence. The penalty should be so severe as
to express due condemnation , while not so
severe as to excite sympathy. The sentence
of the court Is thai Ihe defendant bo Im
prisoned In Sins Sing prison for six years. "
There was dead silence In courl for a moment -
ment , nnd Ihen amldsl a murmur of voices
through Ihe chamber , Judga Dartlell ordered
the court to bo cleared.
CALLED "HUIiniNC IT IN. "
'When the sentence of six years imprison
ment was pronounced on McKano the ono
who seemed the least affected was the
"chief" himself. The words had scarcely
passed from the judge's lips when McKano
turned around and resumed his seat beside
his lawyers.
A subdued murmur of astonishment es
caped the spectators who thronged the court
room , but llio hum was quickly suppressed
by Judge nartlclt , who rapped vigorously
with his gavel and ordered the police to clear
the court.
"Good God , " said ono of McKane's hench
men , "that Is what I call rubbing It.In. "
Along Iho line Iho ominous words "six
years" ran from mouth to mouth along the
stairway nnd out to Iho sidewalk , every
body seeming lo bo on Iho llploo of cxcllo-
mont , but no one had any Idea that the sen
tence would exceed live years. Ilets were
freely made and odds given that It would
bo more than Ihreo years , and tills term
was looked upon generally as the limit.
The news was flashed over the wires and
In less than a quarter of an hour It is safe
to say that the people of Manhattan Island
and Long Island were aware of Iho penally
Inflicted on the dethroned ruler of Coney
Island.
Whllo all this excitement was going on
outsldo McKuno sal qulclly In n chair In
front of the Judge's desk , lalklng lo his
counsel , nnd now and again nodding or pass
ing a remark lo his friends who were leav
ing the court room on compliance with the
mandate of llio courl.
Lawyer Hoderlck said lhat an application
would bo made some time today to a justice
of tliA supreme court for u Btay of twenty
days , pending an appeal.
McKano was taken back to Raymond
street Jail by Sheriff Buttling about 11
o'clock , and If the stay Is not procured today
ho will bo taken to Sing Sing tomorrow , In
company with somo.of llio convicts.

WASHINGTON , Feb. la. Immediately
after Ihc adjournment of the house today
a democratic caucus wru hold In the hall
of the house to consider the stiver situation.
There were present 1BO democrats , but not
a democrat from Now York , who has Joined
In the obstructive movement , was prest'nl ,
nor , In fact any of Uie others who joined
hands with them. The presence , however ,
of Mr. Pence , the Colorado populist , was sig
nificant. The sentiment In the caucus ,
therefore , was all favorable to the bill
and two resolutions were adoplcd , ono to
keep Iho selgnlorago bill before Iho house ,
to the exclusion of everything , until disposed
of nnd the other expressing It us the sense of
the caucus that It waa the duty of every
democratic member to. bo present and vote
cllher for or against the bill. The only
difference of opinion existing was as lo Iho
advisability of going urlhcr limn this and
compelling incmbern to vote or be counted
If they refused lo do so.
Mr. Uoalner presided and advocated n res
olullon lo Inslruct tl/a committee on rules
to bring In a rule lo compel members to veto
or to be fined , and Mr. Pallerson's resolution
Instructing the speaker to count a quorum.
Mr. Patterson declaiod ho bcllovcd , after
following tlte spectacle of the lasl few days ,
that Mr. Heed was rlgut and that nonvotlng
members should bo counted to make n
quorum.
The Patterson rcsoli tlon was voted down
by about twenty majority , the speaker voting
ing against the propoe tlon. The caucus ad
journed pending a vot'i on the Doatncr res
olution.
Messrs. Rryan , Hlaud , . Dynum , Springer ,
Williams of Mississippi nnd Hatch advocated
the passage of the twi reslutlons Tboui of
fered by Mr. Bland ) ami In Iho course of
Ihe speeches some very.caustic rellections
on the action of the eastern filibustering
democrats were indulged.
The democrats who wcro In the city , but
refused to atlcnd the caucus will , If the
declaration of Mr. Tracey'Is an Indication ,
refuse to bo bound by 'Its action. Mr.
Tracoy , however , asserts now thai even If
the bill Is brought ( o a vote It will bo
beaten. Ills opinion Is not shared by the
democratic house loadero , who still posi
tively nfllrm Hint tho. passage of the bill
Is only a question 'of , time. They expect
twenty-two republican * voles , nine populist
voles and , with a full , democratic attend
ance , ICO democrats , which would leave them
n margin of twelve over a quorum.

ST. PAUL , Minn.Feb. . 19. ( Special Tele
gram to The Dec. ) A great deal of excite
ment was occasioned hero this afternoon
upon Ihe announcement limb Colonel W. F.
Cody had telegraphed a friend in St. Paul ,
asking him to act as Cody's second In a
duel with Fred May. Tlio friend sent this
dispatch In reply : "I am yours to command
on all occasions , at any place and time and
under any circumstances. "
Frank Powell ( " \Vhlto IJeaver" ) , mayor of
La Crosse , who has for : the last twenty
years been a warm friend of Colonel
Cody , said this afternoon that there would
certainly bo a duel If May could bo coaxed
to fight. Mayor Powell said :
"Tho trouble Is not over an actress , but
over an American girl , who was visiting in
London when Colonel Cody and May were
Ihero. This girl , whoso.name Is withheld
because of Ihe notoriety It would bring her ,
went to Colonel Cody ono afternoon nnd told
him Mny was giving her attention , but that
his attention was nol Ihal of an American.
This was In 1887. Colonel Cody agreed lo
see Mny and get him lo ; stop visiting llio
girl. A few days loler May and Colonel
Cody were present nl the Bamo banquet , and
Colonel Cody calmly staled to May lhat ho
ought , as a genllcman , to discontinue
his offensive attentions to Miss .
May grow red In the face and
wanted to fight then and there. There was
no blood shed because of Interference of
others. Hut May kept up his vlslls lo llio
American girl , who came lo Colonel Cody
one afternoon crying and said May was be
coming so offensive llml she could no longer
bear him. At thlu Colonel Cody wrote May
the following letler : 'I will whip you on
fslghl. ' The men hud not met In nearly
seven years , but Colonel Cody slarted In to
keep his word , and would have succeeded If
the people present In the AVashlngton
restaurant had not got between the belliger
ents. The girl over whom the trouble oc

VIENNA , Feb. 19. The Irlul of the
twelve anarchists arrested September last ,
charged with conspiracy ngalnst the life of
Emperor Francis Joseph , began today. The
defense asked that part of the proceedings
bo made public , but the court ruled that the
trial should take place In secret. The pro
ceedings promise to bo memorable In the
history of anarchy , as Iho case Is ono of Iho
most sensallonal and romantic on record.
The Irlal of Iheso twelve men , FranHas -
pel and Stefan Ilalmcl ( the ring leaders )
and Malhlas Sletkn , Martin Sllkula , Karl
Klnkal , Johann Vopaleck , Karl Morawetz ,
Josef Schcnel , .Michael Welncr , Mathlas
FIclschhauss , Joseph Komarek and Karl
Koetzel , In view of the recent anarchist ex
ploits In Europe , will evoke the keenest In
terest hero and doubtless In Ihc Unlled
Stales as well , as Iho prisoners are said lo
bo closely connected with anarchists of
America. The anarchists were tracked and
arrested In the most sensational manner.
It Is a mntlor of regrel that this Important
trial Is to bo conducted behind closed doors ,
as revelations of a romai liable kind are
expected , but arrangements have been made
by the Associated press , which will enable
It , it Is expecled , to furnish the world from
day to day with accurate reports of the pro
ceedings of the Important tribunal. It has
been added that some of the most extraordi
nary exhibits over brought Into n court will
bo shown today during Iho proceedings.
The history of the plot In which the men
were connected Is most intcrcsllng. The
prisoners will bo shown lo have been In
touch with the anarchists of England and
America nnd the Irial may therefore be ex
pected lo throw some light upon the organ
ization of the International and Iho action of
a body whoso reckless crimes even during
the present year have outraged the whole
world.
During the months of July nnd August
last , the Austrian
police were greatly ex
ercised by Ihe successful dissemination
among the working classes and among every
secllon of Ihe army of dangerous and
violently revolutionary phamphlets , leaflets
and all sorts of "appeals to the masses" to
rise against the existing order of things.
The work of distributing was carried on
so mysteriously by night that for n long
llmo It seemed Impossible to Irace the
authors. Every quarter of the clly was
scoured by Ihe most experl detectives until
at length the headquarters of Iho revolu
tionary gang was discovered In Slebenbrun-
nengasse , a poor stroel in llio Murgarelhen
district of the capital. The house forming
the anarchist headquarters was No. C3. No
time was. , lost In. planning a "raid. " The
two men. whose arrest was In the llrst
inslnnco contemplated , wore , Franz Haspol
and Slefflli Hairnet , bolh journeymen cabinet
makers ,
Early Friday morning , September 22 , a
small body of detectives posted themselves
opposite No. 03. They had ascertained that
ono of the two " "
men so urgently "wanted"
Ilahnel had to begin" his work In the
fnclory where he was employed nt 0 o'clock.
In duo course Ilahnel appeared nnd before
he had proceeded n dozen yards up the slreet
ho was a prisoner. The arrest was made
without the slightest fuss , he being taken
off his guard. His pockets having been
searched ho was marched off to the lockup.
Upon the person of the prisoner the de
tectives found a latch key of Iho dwelling
which Ilahnel shared wllh his still un-
caplured fellow conspirator.
Hack went the detectives to No. 65. !
Mounting rapidly to the third floor the
police commissary , who was In command ,
placed the latch key In the lock nnd Ihe
door swung open. The dwelling , which
Iho police had thus successfully Invaded ,
consisted of n room and kitchen. A
thorough search of Iho house was Ihen
begun. The furniture of Ihe silling room
consisted of an oblong couch covered with
black American leather , a small brown
painted table , a painted night stool , a trunk ,
a wardrobe und two or three chairs. A
close Inspection of these articles of furni
ture yielded startling results.
Whllo two of the detectives guarded the
prisoner the others examined tlio couch , A
close Inspection revealed the existence of n
sccrel lock. This , was broken with dlfllculty
and the Interior of tlio couch was seen to be
a costly hand printing press with all Iho
latest Improvements.
Inside ono of the cylinders of the printing
press they came across largo bundles of the
anarchical "Appeal to the Austrian Masses , "
which was ono of the seditious pamphlets
that had put them on Iho track of llio con-
splralors.
In the little brown painted table which
stood against the wall the detectives discov
ered n complete sot of type , arrayed In the
most compact and scientific manner.
Examination of the night stool revealed
the existence of a sccrol compartment full
of revolutionary pamphlets and leaflets ex
actly corresponding with those lhat had In
the llrst Instance excited the suspicion of the
authorities.
MET WITH Sl'UPIHSnS.
The largo trunk was next examined. It
contained suprlvcs which throw those of Iho
couch and the table in the shade. The de
tectives , when they forred the lock , found
Inside n perfect arsenal of explosive bombs
nil ready to bo charged , Homo In glass and
some In metal , and In addition , metal cases ,
tubes , wires , clockworks and Implements of
various kinds for lilting thesa logether.
Necessary explosives for charging those In-
feinnl miohliis wro alii discovered.
There were also discovered In the course
of the Investlgallons , revolvers , with a sup
ply of ammunition to lit them , and a largo
amount of stallonory for printing and corre
spondence purposes.
Finally , In u wardrobe , Iho police found
ono or more coats with swivels or hooku at
tached to llio lining for Iho purpose of car
rying bombs' . Whllo llio search was In
progress n determined attempt at suleldo
was made by the prisoner llaspel , who had
been found In the rooms. When ho taw
that all was discovered ho thrust aside Iho
detective ; ) and endeavored lo throw himself
out of the window. Ho was Intercepted In
time , however , and promptly secured.
On the evening of the same day that these
Important arrests were effected , eight of
U : . urarchlsts were taken Into custody , and
In Iho course of Iho following day four more
were arrested. The evidence against two
of these , however , was subsequently found
to bo Insulllclcnl and they were accordingly
released.
Hero Is n description of the two ring
leaders. Frank llaspel Is a small , slender
man of 30. Ho was born at Oratz , and
had lived for three years with Ilahnel In
the house where ho was enjoying
the reputation of being a respectable work-
Ingman. IIo has brown hair and a light
mustache , hla features buMpcaklng a char
acter of great energy and determination.
Haspel speaks In a slow , deliberate manner ,
with , however , a certain amount of em
phasis. He Is Eald to bo a very skillful
workman at his trade.
Stefan Hahncl Is n year older than Hanpol.
Ho was born at Waretlt , in Bohemia , but
lias lived since his boyhood In Vienna. He !
Is of medium helghl , has fair hair and mustache - |
tache and a determined , uncommunicative .
expression of countenance Ilahnel has , >
however , a loss energetic demeanor than
his fellow prisoner , having suffered
crnbly from lung disease , which ( " piled
him to Ilvo In the country all last ! \ mer ,
being supported during his Illness (1- . } . the
sick fund of the trade organization ' " ' (
ho Is n member. tin only rett , , . ' lo
Vienna and resumed work a wcokV , . . .Uwo
prior to his nrrcsl.
That the police believe they hnvo evidence
of n very circumstantial kind -Is shown by
the form of Indictment Hint of conspiring
ngalnst thu Ufa of the emperor and the
revelations which will bo made In the course
of the Irlal may therefore bo awaited with
considerable Interest.
The Associated press correspondent has
obtained the following account of the facts
regarding the trial of Camera today : The
leading prisoners. Franz Haspel nnd Stephen
Hairnet , wcro pallid nnd hollow-eyed from
long confinement In prison. Hnspol wnH
the first of the prisoners examined and he
confessed to being gullly of thn charge of
employing a secret press and admitted ho
was an nnnrchlst. During Iho course of
Iho examination Hnppcl s.iht : "Wo deslro
In attain our cuds by the employment of
force. "
Continuing , Haspel proceeded to sketch the
scheme which he had planned , and it was
observed that It was communistic rather
than anarchistic. Tlio prisoner , It appears ,
procured n secret press because ho wanted
to furnish workmen with sultablo news
papers. He denied any knowledge of the
manufacture of explosives
NOT AGAINST INDIVIDUALS.
In answer to questions put by counsel for
the defence llaspel explained the propaganda
of physical force which was to bo employed ,
not against Individuals , but against the whole
social fabric. Thn social demands , ho added ,
for such political privileges as the franchise
only delayed Its consummation.
The prosecutor asked the prisoner If the
ideal slate would bo n republic ; or an anar
chistic community , lo which llaspel replied
It would bo nil the same to him.
"Will there bo any laws ? " asked the prose
cutor.
To this question ho replied : "Tlio people
will make Ihelr demands ; there will nol
be any governing powcrw. "
Ilahnel. In Ihe course of his examination ,
admitted ho had prepared the nnnrchlst mani
festoes nnd that ho had made the leaden
nnd tin bombs seized by the police. lie de
nied , however , that ho intended lo use
lliem.
Counsel for tlm defense pointed out that ,
contrary to published reports , no powerful
explosives were found at the prisoner's lodg
ings and that the machines found were only
small and rudely made contrivances.
Martin Stlkul , a carpenter , another of the
accused , admitted attending the anarchist
meetings , bill denied that ho was aware of
the contents of the anarchistic manifesto.
The court adjourned until tomorrow.

FHIEDUICHSIiyH , Feb. 19. Another link
has been forged In Iho chain of reconciliation
between the emperor nnd the Iron Chancel
lor. The visit of Prince Ijlsmnrck to Em
peror William , the recepllon lo the former
by the hillcr and Iho German people gener-
ally/followed so closely by a return vlsil on
the part of the emperor , means llml Iho
ex-chancellor can enjoy In the hist days of
his life the thought thai ho la at peace with
his sovereign. It Is mutually understood on
the part of the two great men that this
reconciliation Is entirely personal and friend
ly , and all mention of politics Is carefully
avoided.
Emperor William loft Herlln at 2:20 : this
afternoon nnd arrived here about 5 o'clock. In
spllo of the request of the emperor Hint
thpro was to be no demonstration the rail
way slallon nnd llio vlllnge were decorated ,
bedecked with flags , bunting and flowers.
The road lo Iho cautlo wr.a a long avcnua
of triumph and the arches flanked on either
side with Venetian masts. The latter were
draped with evergreens and the German ,
Prussian and Holstcln colors , and bore the
names of the various stales of the German
empire. Al the spol where tlio emperor
was to alight ut the railroad station an Im
mense Imperial crown was hung and at the
windows of the cottages and neighborhood
busts of Prince Hlsniurclc and the emperor
were displayed.
Prince Bismarck , upon leaving the castle
for the railroad stallon , In order lo meet
Emperor William , was greeted with loud
applause by the crowds of people assembled.
The emperor , who were a naval uniform ,
slopped briskly out of the carriage when
the train drew up at llio plalform and approached
preached Prlnco Bismarck , who were the
cuirassier uniform , wllh Iho helmet and Iho
gray military cloak recently presented to
him by the emperor. Warm nnd repeated
handshakes wcro exchanged between the
emperor and the ox-chancellor , after which
the former carefully wrapped the gray clonk
around the prince's shoulders , Bismarck
having doffed Iho gray garment Just'pre
vious to greeting the emperor.
The emperor nnd Prince lllsmarek then
walked lo Iho casllo of Frlodrlehsruh , fol
lowed by the emperor's sullo of seven per
sons. They were enthusiastically greeted
by the crowds lining the route. Upon nr-
rlvlng at the castle. Emperor William
greeted Princess Bismarck , and with Ihe
princess upon his unn thu emperor pro
ceeded to the salon.
The emperor congratulated Prlnco HIs-
mnrck on ills hearty appearance and then
Introduced the prince to his siilto. The
emperor also shcok hands with Secretary
Ohrycuder nnd Dr. Schwelnlnger.
The dinner to his majesty was In private ,
and only twelve covers were laid , neither
Count Herbert nor William lllsmarek being
present. The emperor nat between Prince
and Princess Hlsmarck.
After dinner all conversed cordially , the
prlnco and the emperor smoking.
Al 9 o'clock his majesly deparled , The
ox-chnncollor accompanied him back to the
station and ho and the emperor shook hands
several times before parting. The emperor
sat at the open window of the saloon car
and waved Ills hand frequently until the
train started n few minutes after 9 o'clock.
On the way lo the stallon from the HIs-
murcl : residence Iho cheering of the crowds
was Incessant and the emperor repeatedly
saluted. At Iho station as the emperor's
train was about to depart the cheering was
almost frantic.
Ills farewell with HIP ox-chancellor waa of
fho most cordial character. The prlnco ac
companied him to his car ami before enter
ing It the emperor said n few final parting
words. Several attempts were made by
Komo of Iho onlookers to sing the national
anthem , but they wcro drowned by thu In
cessant cheering of the rest of the multi
tude. Returning homo , Prlnco Hlsmarck
was almost carried off his feet by his excited
admirers , who crowded around him. A
thousand persons were present at the prince's
residence. All the residences In Iho clly
were splendidly Illuminated.
Prince Bismarck seems to be In much
bettor health olneo his reconciliation with
Iho emperor than for a long time past. The
dinner party nl the Blsmnrcl ; residence was
extremely animated and successful. In
deference to the wishes of Iho emperor lhat
no demonstrations bo made on the occasion
of his visit hero , many deputations of vet
erans who had expressed n determination
to bo present remained away.
NKW YORK. Feb. 19. lleferrlng to the
emperor's visit to Frledrlchruh Iho Staats
Zcltung will say editorially : "Only one
visible change has been effected through
the reconciliation , a part of the Bismarck
press has relinquished Its hostile attitude
toward the government. vMlhoiigh Ihe moral
value of their utterances , " the Stauts Xel-
lung continues , "is by no means unimport
ant. Yet thu solution of the political ques
tions now before thn empire will not be In
fluenced by this , nor the act of January 20 ,
nor by yesterday's tvontn In Frledrlchruh. "

VISALTA. Col. . Feb. 13. Chris Evans , the
Iraln robber ami outlaw who escaped from
Fresno Jail n mouth ago , Is again In custody.
II was discovered lasl "night that ho hail
como Into Vlsalla from the mountains with
his partner , Kdward Morrel , who assisted
him to escape from Jail , nnd thai Ihc two
men were hiding In Evans' house hero.
Olllcers surrounded the house , early In the
morning and n few hours later practically
all the Inhabitants were present. Kraim
recognized the fuel that escape was hit-
possible-anil after n brief negotiation with.
Sheriff Kay mil-rendered.
The bandltx had arrived In ( own from
their mountain retreat Saturday night on
foot. So soon as Sheriff Kay was Informed
of Ihls a posse of determined men was galh-
ered ami proceeded quietly to Kvans' houso.
which they surrounded nnd guarded until
daylight. Men were stationed around the
house so as to command It on all sides.
The townspeople , many of whom were armed ,
came lo the scene , and when dayllghlo broke
a largo portion of tlm population of the
place were on the ground of Iho expected
batlle.
The news which ratified this excitement
was brought In by a man named Ilrlghton.
who Is In Iho employ of Marshal ( lard.
Ilrlghlon , who rared for Evans' house and
children , was formerly n deputy marshal In
Arizona. Ho and Card arrived hero at : t
o'clock thlH morning ami Immediately set to
work to capture the outlaws. As the outline : )
of the house within which the desperadoes
were known to bo became visible In tlm
gray dawn It was closely watched by the ex
cited crowd , but no one evinced u disposition
to approach the house ,
H was conceded that an attempt lo capture
the mon by assaulting Iho house would
surely resiiH In thn death of several of the
posse. U' was conceded , also , that If the al-
tempt should be made to Hlorm the house
some lives would bo. lost , but the Qltivsens do-
lermlned lo put an oiid lo the lawless career ;
of those men.
At 9:15 tlilH morning n messenger was
soul to the house with h note from Sheriff
Kay advising iho men lo surrender peace
fully ami lelllng them they would bo cer-
lalnly cither killed or raptured. This mes
senger , whoHo n.imo IM flenson , was com
pelled to enter the house and was hold aw
u hoslage. Evans said to him whim ho
entered : "Ain't you taking great chances.
Now you take these pistols nnd walk
ahead of us when wo gel ready to go , "
Ilenson was frightened , and when Evans )
saw armed men around the house ho ul-
tacked Mrs. Ilrlghton , who was In Iho houso.
knocking her down and kicking her and lell
lng her to go to bed and stay there.
Ho was only prevented from killing the
woman through the Intervention of Morrol ,
who commanded him to desist.
Last evening Evans told Mrs. IJyrd that
ho would never bo taken alive. When
she reminded him ho was loklng great
chances In coming here , Evans abused the
Ilyrd family generally , and said Qcorgo
gave away the fact that he was going to
escape from the Fresno jail and caused
him lo be locked In a dark cell ; that Perry
Ilyrd assisted In hunting him , and thai the
Dyrds were u Hock of buzzards.
Mrs. Ilyrd , Ivans' muthor-in-law , says ha
IK crazy. Last night he threatened to kill
his brothcr-ln-law , Clcurgo Ilyrd , and was
only prevented by the old lady stepping be-
Iween lliom.
When Kvana saw tlio house surrounded Im
opened negollallons with Kay to surrender ,
Evniis carrying on the correspondence. Kvana
agreed to como out If Kay would dlsperno
the crowd. The ofllcora ordered all spec
tators to leavf , which they did. Then Evaim
ramo oul on Iho porch unarmed and Sheriff
Kay and Under Sheriff Hall went forward
and shook hands with him.
Evans anil Morrol , at the time of their
surrender , had two Winchester rifles and
pistols and plenty of ammunition.
Marshal Card says the man arrested with
Kvans Is Kd Martin , known hero as Morrol ,
that ho formerly ran n merry-go-round with
Fredericks , who Is accused of having killed
Sheriff Pasnott of Nevada county. The
citizens are very Indignant at Evans' treat
ment of Mrs. Brighton , and If the prlHimeru
arc not removed before morning they may ,
bo lynched.
S. J , Hinds , Kvans' attorney at Fresno ,
came hero Saturday nnd his movements weru
watched. Mrs. Kvans was expected hero
In a day or Iwo by Iho ofllcers.
The olllcors nro rellcent tin to Iho dis
posal of Kvans at present , but U Is supposed
ho will be spirited away lo Fresno lomghl ,
where ho wilt iccelvo an Immediate non-
lenco and bo hurried to the states prison.
