AT ANARCHY'S TOMB

Anniversary of the Death of ParBone, Spies, Hngel and Fisher.

IT IS DULY OBSERVED IN CHICAGO.

"joliwttli mid Fielden Deliver Addresses Mild In Tone—Anarchists In London Celebrate tlie Day

In a Quiet Manner.

IN MKMOKV OF DBAD ANARCHISTS. CHICAGO, NOV. 18.—The annual anniversary observance of the execution of Pawons, Spies, Engel and Fischer took place Sunday afternoon lit Waldlielin cemetery. Notwithstanding' the fact that the exercises were held in the open air and that a driving rain was falling'nearly 1.000 people were on the grounds.

The exercises at the cemetery were brief, and after they were over there was a quick scattering for a place of shelter from the rain. Those who had brought flowers deposited them about the monument and on the graves of the dead and then joined In the general throng about the speakers' stand. To the left the band was stationed, and it began the exercises by playing "Annie Laurie," which A. R. Parsons made famous by singing on the morning of his execution. During its rendition Mrs. Parsons stood silent, and as the last plaintive notes died away the tears which trickled down her cheeks told plainer than words her deep emotion.

Schwab and Fielden Speak.

The principal speakers were Michael Schwab and Samuel Fielden, who were convicted of complicity in the Haymarket riot and after serving several years of a life sentence in Joliet were pardoned several months ago by Gov. Altgeld. Whatever their feelings or emotions were they kept them to themselves, and while they spoke in all earnestness it was without a tinge of bitterness or the expression of a desire for revenge. „Schwab reviewed shortly the situation of affairs and the causes which led up to the Hay market riot. He defled the police to trace the thrower of the bomb to the ranks of the workingmen. In conclusion he advised his hearers tc submit all questions of difference between labor and capital to arbitration.

Fielden said those present were met to protest a great wrong, the like of which had not often been committed in the history of governments. The executed men, he said, had been in life the friends of their enemies as well as friends of their friends, and had always stood for peace and order. The}' had possessed no feeling of self interest, but were workiug fully as much for the cause of all humanity as for themselves. "To-day," said he, "wo stand in the face of a society based not on equal rights of the people but on the rights of privilege, and the only tiling that gives us courage is that here and there a man rises up like Gov. Altgeld who has the courage of his convictions." In conclusion he said: "I beseech of you that you go to your homes and resolve to do your duty in righting this wrong."

Neebe Leads a Hong.

The exercises concluded with a song by the Mannerclior entitled "Awalte," which was led by Occar Neebe.

The procession of the morning was slow Into getting into line, but when at 18 o'clock the order to march was given by Marshal Stanim .between 500 and 700 men and women gave heed to the command. A band was at the head, and along the line of march to the depot played funeral dirges.

In Loudon.

LONDON, NOV. 18.—A meeting of English and foreign anarchists took placc Sunday on Trafalgar square. There were about 1,200 of these "reds" assembled upon the place referred to, the object of the assemblage being to honor the memory of "the Chicago martyrs and the bloody Sunday of 1887," when the police violent!}' dispersed the an. archiste.

There were a large number of police and detectives among the crowd listening to the speeches, and in some cases taking notes of the most sensational remarks. The speakers, however, were less violent than usual, and seemed to be in dread of being taken in by the authorities of Scotland Yard. This did not prevent the anarchl ,t orators from calling on their hearers to emulate the example of those "who died for the cause," but the usual bloodthirsty remarks were generally avoided.

HUSBAND AND WIFE KILLED.

Donble Tragedy at a (MIUIMK in TeiM--Tlie Cause of It Survives. ABII.KNB, Tex., Nov. IS.—Douglas-

ville Colony, a few miles southwest of this city, was the scene of a double tragedy Saturday night. Trinidad Homer, a young Mexican !!0 years of nge Julius Larinsky, a Polish settler, and the lntter's daughter were the principals. Romer was desperately enamored of the only daughter of Larinsky and his suit was favored by the father, but she had her choice in another of her own race, Nathan Sorowski. Sorowski had little to offer other than his love, while Romer was possessed of mu jli wealth. Not long ago Larinsky informed Romer that he looked upon his suit with favor and that if he could arrange to put Sorowski out of the way the father would give him the hand of his daughter in marriage. Shortly after Sorowski disapppeured as If swallowed up by the earth. All then was smooth sailing for Romer, who on Saturday was wedded to Miss Larinsky.

At the wedding feast Romer became intoxicated aud boasted of the fact that he had killed Sorowski and that he was abetted in his crime by Larinsky. This so enraged the newly wedded Mrs. Romer that she attempted to cut the throat of her husband with a butcher-knife and was only prevented by her father stepping forward and wrenching it from he. Believing that all were leagued against her she turned her wrath from her husband upon herself and cut her throat from ear to ear. This crazed Larinsky and looking upon Romer as the cause of the tragedy lie emptied both barrels of his shotgun into his body.

Sorowski, who was supposed to have been murdered by Romer, returned Sunday morning just after the double killing. He made the statement that he was hired about a month ago by Romer for the sum of S13 go to Eddy Newmex and see a man about a projected cattle deal. On arrival at the place mentioned he learned that no such person had ever lived or been there.

HA mnv 1:1.1., Ky., Nov. 18. Three masked robbers held up a north bound train, No. vM, 011 the main line of the Illinois Central a*. 8 a. m. Saturday at Mayiield creek trestle, miles north of Mayfield Junction. The express ear was robbed of two money packages, 0110 containing fKS addressed to J. S. Titus, Chicago, and" the other a bag containing an unknown amount of money in transfer from Memphis to Chicago. The express messenger saved the remainder of the contents of tho safe.

Nay It Contaluod 157,000.

Opinions differ as to the amount of money contained in the "valuable packago" billed on waybill C7 as No. 14(3. At Cairo the officials say that the consignment consisted of $7,000. but this Mr. Uarahau i* inclined to doubt, The only man who knows exactly what was in the package Is the Illinois Central agent at Memphis who consigned it to Chicago, and his report to Mr. Ilarahan will not be made publio.

Intimidated the Knglneer.

About 8 o'clock, while the train wit leaving Bardwell. three men climbed over the tank, and one of the robbers said to Engineer Clark: "Pull out as soon as you can." At the same time the robber grabbed the left arm of the engineer and one of tliein put a revolver under his ear, ordering him at the same time to do what they wanted or they would kill linn. The fireman ran away and got 011 the pilot of the engine, where he remained in hiding until the robbers had finished their work.

While this was going on the passengers in the two sleepers and three coaches which made up the train were in ignorance, as all were asleep aud 110 firing was done to awaken them. The engineer wanted to get down and put in some coal, but tho robbers refused to let him stir from his seat in the cab. One of the robbers did the 3ring for him from Bardwell to Port Jefferson and ordered him to stop the tram on the Mayfield trestle. The self-pos-sessed engineer iusissed that the robbers should let him put the flagman off to protect the rear end of the train and the lives of the passengers, because they had passed a freight train at Bardwell, which might run into them.

Sent Hack a J''lti|-nian.

This the robbers agreed to and when the train was stoppi^l by their orders at the trestle they forced the engineer at the point of their guns to go in front of them to the express car door aud open it. He shouted to Express Messenger McNeil to open the door und not to shoot, as he was In front of the robbers. One of the robbers went into the ear and came out with several bundles, which he put into a sack. He told the engineer to pick up his dynamite on the platform of the car und put it in auother sack, which Clark tlid. In the robbers' company and with revolvers close to his head the engineer carried the train to Port. Jefferson, where the robbers got behind some piling and shouted to the engineer to: "Pul out fast, old man!"

Hunting with Itluoilliouiwlg.

Tn reply to Clark's question the robbers said they were not going to bother the passengers and they kept their promise. All the robbers wore soft hats and masks of black cloth completely covering their heads with only holes cut for seeing and breathing. Two of them were spare built men and the other heavy und tall, wearing blue overalls. The sheriffs of Ballard and Carlisle counties and the marshal at Fultuu, Tenn., as soon as they were notified of the hold-up started with a posse in different directions to hunt the robbers with bloodhounds.

Offer a 91,500 Reward.

After a conference with General Manager A. Antisdel, of the American Express, a reward of $1,500 was offered aud ordered posted in the vicinity of the robbery.

Admiral Irwin's Instructions, WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Inquiry at

the department of state warrants the statement that the president has given his approval to tho secretary's findings, based as they are upon the searching inquiries conducted by his special commissioner, Mr. Blount. And while It has not been regarded as expedient at this moment to make public the instructions given to Mr. Blount's suceossor Minister Willis—or the orders issued to Admiral Irwin, who has by this time assumed command of the United States naval forces at Hawaii, it is intimated that in each case the officers have gone to Hawaii charged to do all that is necessary to restore the status quo antebellum. There Is still a question as to what may be necessary to secure this result, but it is generally believed that if the representations made by Minister Willis upon the occasion of the presentation of his credentials, to the effect that, the president desires that the queen be re-enthroned, should not be sufficient to induce the provisional government to give effect to that desire, then Admiral Irwin will be called upon to exercise his functions and once in ore the naval forces now aboard the L'nited States flagship Philadelphia and the Adams will be. landed, and will march through the streets of Honolulu dragging their Gatlings to the government house. It is felt to be highly Improbable, however, that the provisional government will by obstinate resistaiue to the expressed wishes of the United States necessitates a resorts to a military demonstration.

May He Left to the Natives.

Certain democrats here incline to the belief that it is probable Minister Willis' course will bo to advise the provisional government that it is the desire of tho United States that the question as to which government is preferred by the people of the islands—that of Queen Liliuokalani or that of President Dole—shall be submitted to the vote of all those residents of the islands who have a right to vote under the constitution of 1887. Whether or not, pending this appeal to the people, Admiral Irwin and Minister Willis have received direct instructions to reinstate the constitutional sovereign will probobly not be authoritatively made known until the next Honolulu mail steamer arrives in San Francisco.

Some lively times may be expected in the United States before the whole master is settled, aud it is not improbable that it will develop into a political Issuo of possible gigantic proportions. There are as many opinions concerning the decision as there are. men to express them—each takes a different view of the matter. Senator Morgan displays considerable feeling in his opposition to the anti-annexation sentiment. Congressman Hitt does not believe in the interference by the American government in favor of a monarchy. (irnliain Talks.

Secretary Gresham said Saturday that he had "never made a mistake in his life by supporting what he believed to be right and opposing what lie thought to be wrung.'' He characterized the attempt of the Harrison administration to acquire the country as a fraudulent act and upon the same pretext some conspiraators may with tho same consistency attempt to depose President Cleveland and establish another Jform of government. Tho secretary admitted that he would no doubt be severely criticised at first for his action, "but,"

he, "when the country has

had time to weigh it carefully and look at It calmly all fair-minded people will be compelled to admit the correctness of my position." Me continued: "It Is not the polioy of this government now lo encroach upoa the rights of ether governments, nor has It ever been.

Ills I1KAKTV AH'UOVAI.. APUI.NO ION, NOV. 18.—In an Inter­

view with Jtunes Mvde 1'iatt, of Albany, N. V., a kinsman and friend, President Cleveland staved that he had absolute faith in the accuracy of all conclusions drawn by Secretary Gresham with reference to the Hawaiian affair, und ili tt .Minister Stevens and Capt. Wilse had committed an act of usurpation and done a wrong to a helpless power which it was the duty of the United States government to undo.

any ofHciul information, as Mr. Gresham is guarding every feature of his policy with the greatest care. But men well versed in the affairs of tlie state department and of diplomacy say that the necessary result of Mr. Gresham's arraignment of the provisional government as a fraud will be the withdrawal of Mr. Thurston, either willingly on his part by request for Ills passport, or unwillingly, by a tender of his papers, similar to the tender which President Cleveland made to Sir Lionel Suckville West.

Whatever course the administration may have determined upon to secure the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani, it is very evident that Secretary Gresham does not expect that extreme measures will have to be resorted to. The course proposed to ..lie pursued seems to be to request the present government, iu the name of tho nlted States, to give way quietly to tho restoration of the queen. The Hawaiiahs in this city are very Arm in their conviction that the government will refuse to yield to Any such gentle persuasion as that. They assort their earnest bolief that It will require at least a show of force to Induce them to resign the reins of authority.

Kx-Mlulnter Stevens Hoplles. AUOVBTA, MO., NOV. 18. In a BINNED

leader In tho Kennebec Journal Hon,' J. L. Stevens, late United States minister to Hawaii, makes the followiutf reply to Secretary Gresham's report: "All that American piety.

A Denial.

Mr. Stevens then malccs specific denials of statements iu the Blount-Gres-ham report touching the landing of the marines of the Boston, and adds: "Queen Lilluokaluni inaugurated the revolution by attempting to destroy tbe legislature by revolutionary means. From Saturday afternoon, January 14. to January 1G there WUK no government in Honolulu except in the united and self-possessed attitude of citizens, who assembled iu a great muss-meeting on January 10 and consummated their efforts for law and enter by (he establishment of the provisional government on the 17th, which was promptly acknowledged by all thu foreign representatives.
