Chicago, Aug. 12.—It was pretty hot outside this morning, but the sunny side of the street was a refrigerator by comparison with Judge Gary’s court. The Judge had the windows opened, and there was a slight current of air, not enough, however, to relieve the perspiring audience of the necessity of waving palm-leaf fans, which nearly everybody carried. Mr. Walker began his speech this morning by charging that Fielden had premonitions of danger—that he knew it was coming, and told the Anarchy ists to stand together. Then the speaker said of Fischer: “Was this man in this conspiracy for murder? this man with his revolver a foot long and his file-dagger with a groove? What is this groove for? It is for prussic acid. Was this man in the conspiracy?” Mr. Walker then read a passage from Most’s “Revolutionary Warfare,” telling how prussic acid could be applied to grooved daggers, making them more deadly. Mr. Walker waved the dagger before the eyes of the jury and pointed oat Fischer with it, Then he transferred his attention to Lingg, and asked if he was in the conspiracy. The speaker dwelt upon the similarity between the Haymarket bomb and those found in Lingg’s room. Mr. Walker, after reviewing the evidence at great length, said, in conclusion: “The most cruel thing in this whole case is the violent and unjnstifiable attack made on the police by the defense. They attempt to prove that Captain Bonfield and his officers were guilty of a most horrible design upon the lives of innocent men. I should have thought that the blood of those seven dead men would have cried out against the accusation. The men who stood on that fatal night as firm as a rock, who never trembled, and who exhibited as much sublime courage as the gages of history ever showed, are traduced by ocialists and Anarchists. It is even charged that they fired first. Did they? Ask Barrett, and Shehan, and Mueller. and Hansen. Ask all those wounded heroes. Gentlemen, it is for yon to decide. You stand now for the first time between anarchy and law. The foundation stone of the Republic shall stand. The police did their doty at the Haymarket. They shed their blood for the law, and in their martyrdom anarchy was buried forever.” Mr. Zeisler then began his speech for the defense. Mr. Zeisler said the attorney for the State bad distorted the facts in the ease. He then began an attack on the police. He inquired: “Who are the principal witnesses? The policemen at the Haymarket; and before we get through we will show that these men were not heroes, but knaves, led on by the most cowardly knaves who ever held a public position.” The speaker said this in a loud tone. Court adjourned at 1 o’clock. When Mr. Zeisler resumed his address in the afternoon there was a perceptible decrease in the size of the audience. The atmosphere of the court-room was as oppressive as on any day since the opening of the trial. The jury has had hardly sufficient energy to make use of the fans with which they are supplied. The judge occupied himself at times with the perusal of the morning papers, and the defendants, apparently soothed by the pleading of their attorney, lounged carelessly in their chairs, the attitude of each being in marked contrast to those involuntarily assumed yesterday during Mr. Walker’s delivery of some of the startling points of his argument. Mr. Zeisler took considerable pains to impress upon the jury that the calls to arms referred to by the State were only intended to signify that, if employers protected their interests by recourse to arms, the workingmen had a right to protect themselves in the same manner. “The social revolution that Spies referred to,” said the speaker, “is not a revolution to be suddenly consummated by force, but that social revolution which is inevitable.” The eight-hour movement was a part of the general plan of revolution, and no one had intimated that this movement was in defiance to law and order. “Organize and arm yourselves,” Mr. Zeisler explained to signify “Stand by your union. In union there is strength, and the time will come when yonr strength will right yonr wrongs. Arm yourselves; organize and stand together, and you will get the recognition which will come to you in no other way. What alternative was there when the employers said, ‘We will use force,’and the papers advocated the use of hand grenades upon refractory wage-workers. This is why they were advised to keep their powder dry.” Mr. Zeisler then pleaded as an excuse for the more “energetic utterances" of Spies, Parsons and FieldeD, that their hearers were often of that class of laboring men who were ignorant, because the amount of time required to earn bread for themselves and their families left them none in which to gain knowledge. In order to have the desired effect upon such an audience, ordinary language would not suffice; it was necessary to nse emphatic figures of speech. This explained the remarks of Parsons that Marshal Field, in accumulating bis vast fortune, had robbed the poor, and that his hearers would do nothing criminal if they inarched to Marshal Field’s store Bnd took what they required for their comfort Mr. Zeisler belittled “the attempt to turn the Arbeiter Zeitung office into an arsenal.” The reporter who testified for the State, he said, had been openly shown a couple of empty shells, a bit of fuse, a few fulminating caps, and a couple of dynamite cartridges; and when he returned again with two detectives the exhibition was again made, and Mr. Parsons took pains to explain the manner of using the articles. As to the package of dynamite found in the Arbeiter Zietung office by the State, a witness had proved that no such package was there prior to the 5th of May, and it afterwards transpired that it had been found on another floor of the building. Mr. Zeisler maintained that conspiracy implied secrecy, and there had been no secrecy about the speeches of the defendants, nor regarding the specimen bombs, fuses and caps found in Spies’ office. The speaker created a

WHEN INDICATIONS. Friday— Local rains, stationary temperature. ALWAYS NEEDED! But it isn’t always that you can get it for 48 CENTS, At least not this kind. The general run of garments sold at that price are not worth it—just cheap stuff worked off at really a high price. But in this case we can conscientiously say it is / A BARGAIN! What? Oh, yes! Almost forgot to mention that we are talking of Shirts—Unlaundried Shirts. They are made of New York Mills Muslin, and you can’t get anything like them anywhere else for ihe price, and not long at THE WHEN small sensation when, in thundering tones, he pointed to the seats of the defendants and said: “If the Haymarket riot is the result of a conspiracy, then Mr. Grinnell, the State’s Attorney, is the first man who should be placed the~e. Next, Mayor Harrison and the municipal authorities of Chicago, who have allowed these things to go on, should be tried on the only charge which has Any possible hold upon the defendants. If the State’s attorney, gentlemen of the jury, is not guilty of conspiracy, then you must acijuit these defendants of that charge.” Coming to that part of the States case, built upon the testimony of the informers Waller and Seliger, Mr. Zeisler said that the best testimony of the State had been paid for in hard opsh by Captain Schaack. He said the jury did not need to be reminded that the testimony of Gilmer was worthless, though the defense, he said, did not care particularly whether it was credited or not. The speaker denied that the language of Spies to McCormick’s men was of a character to incite them to the deeds which followed. He denied that when part of tho crowd broke away to join in the riot, Spies went back immediately to his office, but said witnesses had proved that Mr. Spies continued to speak quietly for some time afterward. For some time previous to the adjournment, Mr. Zeisler devoted himself more to answering the address of Assistant State’s Attorney Walker than to reviewing the testimony in the case. “Os course,” be said, “the ignorant detectives who were sent to the Haymarket meeting in the capacity of spies conid not understand the significance of what Parsons said. They heard nothing about Parsons’s appeal in behalf of the wives and children of the workingmen. No; they came back and said Parsons said, ‘To arms, to arms.’” At this point the court adjourned. The Innocent, Kind-Hearted Parsons. Chicago, Aug. 12. —The Daily News's Waukesha (Wis.) special says: It has just leaked out thAt A. R. Parsons, tho Anarchist, made Waukesha hia hiding-place from the time he left Chicago after the Haymarket massacre until he returned to Chicago to appear in court. While here he lived with Daniel Horan, a pump dealer and a recognized leader in the congregation of the Rev. Simon B. Needham, who preaches at Barlow’s Hall. Mr. Horan said to-day: “Parsons gave his name as A. R. Jackson. He was reticent and did not taf? a great deal. He was a mild, kindhearted man, and would not hurt a cricket He was smart and appeared deep. From a letter he received from his wife while here, which I saw, it was evident he was inuocent, for she said she was sorry for the trouble brought about by fools. He worked for me At the carpenter’s trade on a house adjoining this shop and was a good workman.”

A CLEVER SCHEME Adopted by New York Women To Get Rid of Inconvenient Babies. New York, Aug. 12. —Everybody :a New York felt very sorry this morning when they read in the papers the story of a baby that had died in the charge of a woman who bad taken itto board in answer to an advertisement in the newspapers. Two gentlemen, one claiming to be a lawyer, made the arrangement with the woman, and took her to the Grand Central Depot, where a lovely ostensible mother from New Haven wept scalding tears at the stern necessity that compelled her to give up her little one for awhile. The death of the child caused the woman to report the case to the police that the ownership of the babe might be ascertained, its alleged mother and the two men having failed to appear after the delivery at the Grand Central station. The nolice shared the general sorrow until Ellen Mitchell, a comely mulatto, after reading the papers, came around and said that she also had a babe to board that she had got by answering an advertisement. The two men, one a lawyer, the Grand Central station, beautiful New Haven mother, the scalding tears and the stern necessity were the same in this case as in the first The police promptly concluded that what they had turned up was not a sad case of domestic woe, but a clever and extensive scheme for getting rid of inconvenient babies. Detectives are after the two men and the mother with the scalding tears, and similar babes are confidently expected to be reported right along now. A Young Town Blown Out of Existence. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal, Fort Keogh, M. TANARUS., Aug. 12.—News has reached here that the new town of Lusk, in northern Wyoming, near the Montana border line, was visited by a terrific storm of rain and bail last Monday, which virtually swept it out of existence!. The town contained several hundred people, and was built of tents and temporary structures of boards. The storm literally swept the earth clean of incumbrances- Tents, boards and canvas were wrenched from their moorings and whirled away. Yards of canvas were scattered everywhere along the neighboring foot-hills, and even far up among the mountains. There were no casualities, owing to the lightness of the material composing the buildings. Boiler Fxplosion in the Coal-Oil Field. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Pa., Ang. 12.— About 2 o’clock this afternoon the boiler at the Coast Brothers’ well, on the Smith farm, exploded, instantly killing John O’Brien and serionsly injuring J. White and Corny Sharp. At the time the men were working in a tank house near by. O’Brien was blown sixty feet into the air. Sharp was terribly burned abont the face and shoulders. His injuries will prove fatal. White was badly cut about the head, but his injuries are not serious. Drilling had just been commenced on the well when the explosion occurred, which is •opposed to have been caused by lack of water in the boiler. The boiler was anew one, aqd was blown 400 yards from the foundation. This is the first boiler explosion in the Washington field.

A CONFEDERATION SCHEME By Which Each State of the British Empire Will Secure Home Rule. Lord Randolph Churchill Incubating a Bill Which Is Designed to Dissipate All the Troubles of the Ministry. Bishop McAllister Defends the Catholics of Belfast from Blame in the Riots. German Mine-Owners Concerned at the Great Depression in the Iron Trade—Louise Michel Once More Dnder Sentence. BRITISH POLITICS. The United Ireland Says Salisbury's Speech Means War to the Death. Dublin, Aug. 12.—United Ireland says that Lord Salisbury, in his speech at the Lord Mayor’s banquet in London, last night, proclaimed war a l’outrance. The burden of his speech is twenty years of manacles for the Irish. “Very good,” says United Ireland, “our race is accustomed to resist tyranny. War let it be, in the name of God.” Churchill Framing a Confederation Law. Dublin, Aug, 12.—The Irish Times, Conservative, states thAt it is reliably informed that Lord Randolph Churchill is engaged in drafting a bill intended to solve the Irish problem. The skeleton of the measure is already done, the paper says, and it provides for universal local self-government throughout Great Britain and Ireland, eiving Ireland, England, Scotland and Wnles control each of its own immediate affairs, leaving the supreme power of the imperial Parliament undiminished. The bill is described as a measure which opens the door to imperial federation. The full text of the bill, the Irish Times says, will not be completed before next February. “But,” adds the paper, “so far as it has gone it has been submitted to the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Hartington, and others, and is broad enough to satisfy all moderate Irishmen.” Mr. Brad laugh After the Peers. London, Aug. 12.—Mr. Bradlaugh will ask a division of the House of Commons, on the 19th inst., on the sessional order declaring that the interference of Peers in elections constitutes a high infringement of the liberties and privileges of the Commons. He will instance interference by the Duke of Westminster, the Earl of Leicester, Lord Montague, the Duke of Norfolk and the Duke of Argyll, respectively, in Chester, Norfolk, Bucks, Islington and Areylshire, and will move that the order, if obsolete, be abandoned, otherwise that it be enforced. The Radicals will support Mr. Bradlaugh.

THE RIOTS. Desultory Firing Still Kept Up by the Belligerents. Belfast, Aug. 12.—Tbe night was quiet, except a slight amount of firing in the Grosvenorroad district, which did not result in barm to any one. The police have made several searches for arms, but without success. The forty wounded persons in the Royal Hospital are making good progress towards recovery. A heavy rain is falling, preventing crowds from gathering. The Northern Whig (Protestant) rebukes the Rev. Dr. Kane for his remarks in relation to the action the Orangemen would take if the police were not disarmed. Groups of idlers continue to hang about. It is still necessary to retain the troops. Inspector Reed will remain in command of the constabulary until after the Catholic festival on the 15th inst. The city has been quiet to-day. The patrols are retained. The people dread the withdrawal of the military. The Catholic bishop has prohibited Catholic parades during the remainder of the year. Five hundred more police from the south have come here in readiness for the 15th inst., the day of the feast of the Assumption. A petition is being signed in favor of a royal commission to inquire into the riots, with power to subpoena and examine witnesses under oath. Trouble at Londonderry. Londonderry, Aug. 12.—The Orangemen were attacked while parading on the famous promenade by the old Town Hall. Here they were openly and savagely stoned by a mob. During the melee the Rev. Thomas Olphert, canon of the Episcopal Cathedral, and several citizens were wounded. The excitement is reaching a dangerous height. Mr. McClintock, Orange Grand Master here, in a speech, to-day, ridiculed the story that Orangemen originated the riots, and said that when required to fight the leaders would supply their men with better amunition than brick-bats. The city is quiet to-night Bishop McAllister’s Views on the Riots. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Aug. 12.—Right Rev. Patrick McAllister, Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese of Down, being interviewed on the subject of the Belfast riots, said to a Cable News correspondent yesterday: “The Belfast riots are due to the incitement of the Orangemen to acts of violence by the socalled loyalist press and the incendiary fulminations of the lecturers and parsons who call themselves loyalists and use the platform and the pulpit for the purpose of convincing their hearers ihat Catholicism is disloyalty. These utterances have led to unprovoked attacks by Orangemen upon Catholics, which, of course, the latter have resisted. Cite any case of rioting in Belfast, and I will show that the Orangemen have been the aggressors and that the Catholics have risen against them only when provoked to violent resistance, and then only when compelled to do so iu defense of their lives and homes. The Protestants iu purely Catholic districts have never been molested, and being in the minority, they, of course, have not molested Catholics. Tho police have been treated very unjustly. In no case have they fired upon the crowds unless they were compelled to, and in every case where they have fired upon the mob Orangemen have been the sufferers, because only Orangemen were resisting their authority. The Catholics, when engaged in defending themselves against Orangemen, have retired when ordered to do so by the police, but the Orangemen, when similarly ordered, have hurled defiance at the police, and, following tip this defiance, have boldly attacked the officers of the law and attempted to drive them from their posts of duty. In spite of what has been said against them, I' ~Heve the police are absolutely unbiased, a.id iam satisfied they would fire upon Catholics without hesitation if it should be necessary to stop rioting. Let the police manage matters, and the rioting will be suppressed iu short order, and permanently, too. Let the local magistrates remain at home, and let justice be exercised by the stipendiary magistrates, who are responsible to the government, and you will soon see a cessation of violence and the restorasion of order. The local magistrates are partial to Orpogetpen, the stipendiary are partial to notydy. It ho Mayor chose to do so, he

could induce his own workmen to refrain from attacking Catholics, bat he closes his eyes to their outrageous conduct If the complaints against the police are well founded, which I deny, then the troth furnishes no excuse for wholesale attack upon Catholics. The priests have used their influence with their people to the utmost, and have in this way contributed a large measure of assistance to the police in preserving order, but it has not been at all times possible for them to restrain their flocks from avenging unprovoked injuries.” A PLKASANT AFFAIR. Emperor William and a Party of Americans Exchange Compliments. New York, Aug. 12.— The Tribune, to-mor-row, will publish a special from Salzburg, as follows: “Emperor William, of Germany, arrived at Salzburg, to-day, on his way from the meeting at GAstein to Berlin. A journey of four hours in a carriage to the station and three hours’ travel by rail, with the mercury at 90°, told on his niuety years, and he appeared feeble. The American guests of the hotel here Bent flowers to him, with expressions of respect. On leaving Salzbarghe requested the Americans to assemble in the large hall of the hotel, where he shook hands cordially with each man, woman and child, and spoke to them all in German. His grandson, Prince William, son of the Crown Prince, translating his remarks, said: “The Emperor thanks the Americans for their courtesy and expresses his profound admiration for the American people.” Chauncey M. DePew answered: “The three million Germans in America are among our best citizens, but what they give to us takes nothing from their love for the fatherland. They have taught to fifty million Americans the deepest esteem and veneration of their Emperor and the great people he so wisely governs.” The Prince expressed for the Emperor renewed thanks for these cordial sentiments. The Emperor took the Americavis’ basket of flowers with him in his car. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. German Mine-Owners to Discuss the Crisis in the Iron Trade.

The Mexican Press and People Calmly Discussing Matters. City of Mexico. Aug. 12.—The discussion of the Catting case goes on in the press and among lawyers, whom it interests because of the important questions raised, but there is no heat in the discussion. The better class of people hope that the two governments will settle m§tter either by mutually friendly adjustment or through equally friendly arbitration. An interesting question is propounded by a learned lawyer hero, who asks, if Cutting be guilty of libel on both sides of the river, why cannot the Appellate Court of the State of Chihuahua locate a judgement for the crime on the Mexican and not on the American side, thus relieving the case of its international character? The resignation of General Jackson, United States Minister, is said to be positive, and general regret is expressed by resident Americans. The minister has won the warm approval of all classes by his dignified and prudent course. Mr. Bayard’s Jingoism. Baltimore, Aug. 12.—The Sun of to-day has the following interview with Senator Beck on the proceedings in Mexico against A. K. Cutting. The Senator informed the Sun correspondent that he does not believe any man with ordinary intelligence can question for one moment the aggressiveness of the present administration in battling with all public questions, be they foreign >r domestic. He stated most emphatically that there is no ground for doubting the courage of the State Department in dealing with the Cutting case. On the contrary, the Senator is inclined to think that the Secretary of State has, if nnythine, been too aggressive in the Mexican matter. Ho says that the United States should try to induce Mexico to repeal the law which renders an American citizen punishable in Mexico for his utterances in the United States. It is a bad law, and will create mischief so long as it remains upon the Mexican statute-book. But we cannot gain anything by declaring war against Mexico, for if wo did, we would simply place ourselves in the attitude of a big man picking a quarrel with a small boy. Teaching International Comity. London, Aug. 12. —The Times, speaking of the Cutting imbroglio, Bays: “The chief difficulty in the way of a settlement of the matter lies in Cutting’s appeal to the angry passions of the Texans and the desire of the dormant raider on both sides of the frontier for an outbreak which would result in the restoration of contraband trade. President Diaz, of Mexico, can have no wish for a collision with his powerful neighbor, and he roust be well aware that there are enemies of Mexico on both sides of the fronier who are clamoring for war. Mexico has been surprisingly reasonable in dealing with the Cutting case, considering the provocation, and, although Secretary Bayard has been a little too exacting, the action of the President and the Senate is all that could be desired. In that action lies the assurance of peace.”

Catting “Dragged” Before the Coart Again. Denver, Ang. 12.—An El Paso special this evening says. “Cutting was again taken from his prison and dragged before Judge Castaneda’s court. He was merely told that the appeal taken in his case by the lawyer who had been appointed for him would be tried by the Supreme Court of the State of Chihuahua in a few days, and he was asked if he desired to have an attorney to take charge of his interests before that conrt He replied as he has always done, that he did not recognize the jurisdiction of any Chihuahua court, and that he left bis case entirely in the bands of the American government. He was thereupon taken back to prison. The Chihuahua authorities continue to ignore entirely the diplomatic entanglements resulting from this case. The Revolutionary Spirit in Mexico. St. Louis, Aug. 12.—The Globe-Democrat correspondent at Brownsville, Tex., says: In an interview to-day Gen. Ignacio Martinez, director of El Mundo, tbe revolutionary organ published here, said there is much dissatisfaction in Mexico, especially in Nuevo Leon and other border States, and that he expects that within two months the country will be in arms against Diaz, as every day his government grows more unpopular among the masses, and at an early day there must be anew regime in Mexico. How They Try to Stir Up Bad Blood. St. Louis, Aug. 12. A dispatch from New Laredo, Mexico, says tbe report sent out from there several days ago, stating that 400 fresh Mexican troops had arrived there, and that an artillery company had planted guns so as to bear on Foet Mclntosh, on the Texas side of the river, was false. The dispatch states that no troops have arrived there within a month; that there are only 200 soldiers there, and that there has not been a cannon of any description in New Laredp in three years. Contest of a Will. Milwaukee, Aug. 12.—The will of ex United States Senator Charles Durke, who was Governor of Utah from 1801 to the time of his death, in 1870, is to be contested. Au estate of $500,000 is involved. Governor Durke bequeathed the bulk of hia property in trust for educa* : al purposes. Heirs rosidinqr in various parts > e country to day began suit in the United ii Court to set aside the will, claiming that it s fraudulently probated in Wisconsin, whereas the property was located in Utah; also, that the clause in the will devoting the bulk of the property to educational purposes is void, and that under the laws of Utah the property reverts to tbe next of kin. Obituary. St. Louis, Aug. 12—Rev. John B. Bergio, vice-president and chancellor of the St. Louis University, died at the Novitiate of the Jesuit Fathers, at Floriesan, Tuesday night, of consumption. in the thirty-first year of nis age.

Two Chinamen are charged with murdering a Chinese woman and chopping her remains in pieces, which, on being weighed, were found to be each of corresponding weight to the other. The Celestials were taken by the sheriff to Green River and held for trial. The mnrderors are said to have been jealous of the attention* a white man was paying the woman.
