THE ANARCHIST CASE

Jcstiea Harlan r.rects tin Ccactel to Apply t3 tie Fall Csart. Ike Application Jlade ami the Point In tb P!ra-Jae.tioaed f tha Jiitttces Nothitir Settled Ytt. TVashi.m.tov. October 21. Long before half past ten o'clock this morning, which was the hour eet for the heariDg of an application for a rit o( error in tue Chicago Anarchist cases, tha conference room ot the United Scales Supreme Court in the fca merit of the Capitol was unconifortablj crowded with lawyers and newspaper inen, who were waiting to hear the proceedings. John Kandolpa Tucker, Geoeral Frjor, General E. F. Butler, Captain Black, and all of the other counsel for the condemned prisoners were present, and in whispered cot saltation, bat at half past ten neither Justice Harlan nor the record in the cases had arrived. Five minutes later, however, two men came in carrying with dixEculty a lare, blue, tin-covered trctk, corded with half-inch rope, which contained the voluminous record, and ander the weight of which the bearers visibly st arger ed. At 10:40, Jlr. Justice Harlan entered the conference room, and after jrreetinp: the counsel and directing that all newspaper men be allowed to come in and take such places as best litted their convenience, he seated himself at his desk and called for attention. As soon as the room had become juiet. Justice Harlan, without waiting for any formal motion or application from the prisoners' counsel, said with slow, deliberate enunciation: This ii an application'' for a writ of error to Vrinc nj :or review by the Supreme Court ot the United States a judgment of trie Supreme Court of trie state of Illinois, involving the liberty di or.e of the petitionets nd the Uvea of the ethers. The time fixed :or executing the sentence of death is, I am informed, the 11th day fnder the circumstances it is my duty to facilitate an early decision ot any question in the taie of which lie Supreme Court of the I'nited Maws may properly take i-ogniance. ft I should allow a writ oi error. It is quite certain tbat counsel would have to repeat teiore that cou.t the argument which thty propose now to make lelere me. On the other hand if I should rein the wiit tbe defendants would be at liberty to tenew their application b fore anyotner justice cf the äupreme Court, and as human life and liberty are iuvolved, that justice mijrbt feel tliped, notwithstanding a previous refusal of the writ, to look into the case and determine for fciiclf whether a writ of error should be allcwt3. Ii he also refused, tbe defendants could take the papers to some other member of thi court, and to on until each justice had been ap tlied to or until some justice granted tv,e writ In this way it is manifest tbat delays might occur that would be very embarrassing in vie of tbe short time intervening between this and the date tied for carrying into effect the judgment cf the state court. a the case is one ot a very serious character in whatever aspect it may be regarded. 1 deeai it proper to make an cfler, which I now do, mat counsel present this application to the court in in open session to tbe end tbat early an i final action may ba had upon the question whether that court has jurisdiction to review the jurt? meet in this case. There is no reason why it mav utt be presented to the court at its ses-ioa to-day. counsel may state tat the publication is made to the court pursuant to my direction. IS THE SUFSEME OCRT. WafETSGiON, October 21. When the Vnited States Supreme court re-asaembled to-day ten minutes after the usual lour, the court room waa crowded with people waitirg anxiously to hear the petition for a writ of error in the cases of the Chicago Acarchtits, which it was known would be made to the full court in compliance with Jcstire Harlan's order. As soon tn tbe candidates for admission to the bar had been disposed of Gen. Fryor, of Counsel of the condemned Anarchists, rose and addressed the court in support of the petition for a writ of error. After recitin briefiy tbe history of the case and stating that seven of the prisoners were bow under sentence of death, Mr. Pryor said he would call the attention of the court to only two points which he relied upon to snow that the case at the bar presented Federal questions, and that such questions empowered this court to take jurisdiction of it and to grant the writ of error prayed for. The r?t of these points related, he said, to the vary by which the prisoners were tried. The Legislature of the State of Illinois passed in March, 174, that is, after the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, a law to regulate and poern the empanelment of juries in the 6 täte Courta. By virtue of that law a jury for trial of a criminal case, might be made up in part at least of jurors who had formed an opinion with regard to the guilt or innocenae of the persona accrued ; jurors who were partial, and even prejudiced men. The law made it po3iblelto pat into the jury box men who had formed an opinion as to the prisoner's guilt which could not be removed, except by strong evidence. This, he believed had been done in the case under consideration and the petitioners asserted that this statute and and the effect given to it in tie courts b'e low bad deprived them of their rights and was about to deprive them o' their lives without the "due process of law," guar an teed by the Federal constitution. What ia that statute, Mr. Prior?" inquired the chief-justice. THE STATE AIT IK CrESTI0: ir. Fryor sent to the chief-justice and then read aloud that part of the Act ot the Illinois Legislature approved March 12th, 174, which provides: "That it shall not be a cause of challenge that a juror has read in the newspapers an account of the commission of the crime with which the prisoner is charged, if such jarjr shall state on oath that he believes he can render an impartial verdict according to the law and tbe evidence;" and which also provides that in the trial .of any criminal cause, the fact that a person called as a juror has formed an opinion or impression based upon rumor or upon newspaper statements (about the truth of which has expressed no opinion) shall cot disqualify him to serve as a jaror in euch case if he shall upon oath state that be believes that he can fairly and impartially render a verdict therein, in accordance with the law and evidence and the court shall be satisfied of the truth of such statement "It appears on record," said Mr. Pryor, "that this statute was called in question in the trial court as repugnant to the provisions both of the Federal constitution and cf the constitution of the State of Illinois, but the court affirmed its constitutionalitv upon the authority of decisions of the Illinois Supreme Court, and the latter afterward sustained the judgment. Mr. Pryor then read extracts from the record to ahow that among the talesmen in the trial court there were men who admitted they bad read newspapers and formed an opinion with regard to their case and were therefore partial. Mr. Jcstice Miller "Was any one of the jurors shown to have lead newspaper accounts, formed an cpinion, etc., as yoa describe?" Mr. Pryor related that any man was accepted as a juror, notwithstanding the fact that he had formed an opinion; if he tnought that he could render an impartial verdict on the evidence. Mr. Juftice Miller "Was any such juror accepted, was there aay such man In ti jury?" Mr. Pryor "Two of them, your Honor, and one of them was accepted after the challenges of the defense had been exhausted." IXTIKT OF FRgJCDICI. Counsel then read again extracts from tte record to ahow the extent of the prepossessions and prejudices of a particular jorer, and th Yiesr taken by the court as taJüfadjDittibiüt, He was interrupted

a second time by Mr. Jastice Miller, who asked: "Was this man actuary on the jny this roan referred to in the colloquy which you Lave just read f Mr. Prjor ''No your honor, but" Mr. Justice Miller "Then this particular man was not on the trial jury? ' Mr. Pryor "2o your honor, he was not, but exactly the same questions were raised in the case of men who were." Justice Miller said he asked for information because in a case which recently came before him in Missouri, similar objections were urped tu a particular juror anditccsthim three days study of the record to find out that the man whose cae was thus emphasized in the argument had not sctuaiiy been a member of the jury at all. Mr. Pryor said it abundantly appeared in tbe record tbat at least two of the jurors who actually pat in the trial were persons havmg i repossessions and prejudices of the Character described. Thus, by the action of the lower court, he said, the Illinois 8'atnte had been made to deprive the accused of the right of trial by an impartial jury, had abridged their privileges as citizens of the United States, and waa abont to deprive them of life, without the process of law. The Chief Justice remarked that the only question for this court was whether the Statute was constitutional. If the court erred in its administration of the btatute, that was a question for the State courts. Mr. Prjor replied that the action of the state court was the the action of the state. If the statute was administered unfairly it wes state action and that brought it within the jurisdiction of this court. "It must be bo," said Mr. Pryor, "because if a state pass a Ecemingly fair stautte, then ignore it or administer it unfairly then the protection which the fourteenth amendment is intended to give is denied. To try a man for his ;ilie by a partial jury is not doe procets of laws and never was due process of law." THE fEOSn I0INT. Mr. Fryor's second point was that the petitioners had been compelled in the trial court to be witnesses against themselves. Some of them were on the stand, and in spite of the protests of their counsel they were compelled to submit to an unrestrained crof s-examination and to criminate the ii. selves. Compelling a man to testify against himself is not due process of law. I orthermore, after their arrest, the police, without any process of law, broke open their private desks and extracted from them letters and other criminating evidence and thete letters, gotten without due process ot iiw, were used against, them. When tte objection was raised it was orer ru!d ard an exception was taken. Tte Cbief.Jott ce "Can you point us to tte piecise exception that was taken?' Mr. Pryor then read extracts from the rrcord covering the seizure of Spies' papers without a search warrant and use ot them against him, and maintained that this was virtually compelling him to testify against himself in violation of the amendment ot the constitution. TlcIChief Justice "Does tbe record show in what way thete pspers were acquired and used?" Mr. Prjor "Oh, abundantly." The Chin Justice "Have you printed ia your petition and parts of the record where this arrears?" Mr. rrycr "No.'sir; but we have referercss to tbem, and the record is here," In conclusion Mr. Pryor said that it was not necessary to refer specifically to the amendment or the Fourteenth Amendment or any other particular amendment as violated by the Illinois statute and the proceedings of tbe State courts. He would simply ssy broadly that these were questions raised under the Federal Constitution. "And row, your honors " he sa;d, "we submit to you oh these questions thit there is a Federal question raised which entitles the petitioners to the writ ot error prayed for." r.ECOKD OP.rrr.rn trusted. At the conclusion of Mr. Pryor's spseVi the Chief Justice held a brief whisper! consultation with several of the Ass seilte Justices including Field, Miller, Hirlai, and Matthews, and then said: "Mr. Prvor, yon may have printed at once, if i isibie, the parts of the record which rai3 thess questions and hand tkem to us this afternoon or early to-morrow morning an J on Monday we will indicate what is farther nee esary to be done," Mr. Pryor bowed and all of the counsel for tbe Anarchists and most of the large audience which had assembled, stream tl out of the court room into the corridor discussirg the proceedings and the condemned prisoners' chances for a hearing before this court. chica;d roi.uE cactios. Chicago, October 21. There was a good deal of excitement in the vicinity of the county jail about o'clock last nigut, when thirty policemen marched into the main entrance of the criminal court building, followed live minute la'er by a detachment of eighteen more. It was not until nearly 11 o'clock that the secret un

derlying these strange movements of the police came out, and then it waa learned that nearly two thirds ot the entire force waa beirj" held in reserve at the principal EtatiOES. The police learned yesterday, through the secret service of the department, that trouble waa liable to come out Of the mass meeting at Cattery D, and that if tl ere was a collision between the Reds and the TOlice, the former might attempt an assault on the jail. There was nothing tergible in the etory. for there was no regular plan; so far as the ssc et service (rticers were able to ascertain, only a sort of tacit understanding among the disciples of the condemned seven. When the news was communicated to Chief Koerfoid. be notified the Mayor, who, in turn, notified Sheriff Uattson, and a council of war was held in the Mayor's office yesterday afternoon. It was decided that it would be good policy to take every precaution necessary to meet any emergency that might arise. T.he crowd at battery D was a restless one. This was apparent to any observer. Although fifty per cent, of the crowd could not understand Krjglisb, it was a noticeable fact that tbe English speeches were more loudly applauded than the Carman. There was a heavy detail of police present, which was constantly augmented as the night wore on. The ofhceJs were massed against the west wall in a long platoon with Captain Buckley, Lieutenant Laughlin. and Sergeant Gibbons at their head. Chief of Police Ebersold was also present in citiau's drees. He mingled with tbe Anarchists and was not seen with his subordinates. The force of detectives was also surprisingly large. While the men were not willing to make public the nnture of their orders, it was apparent that each bad been detailsd to watch tbe Anarchists very closely. A sensational "tip" was about, but its real nature can only be conjectured. As further proof that tbe police were yesterday in possession of some ominous information, it nay be stated that the guard about the county jail, last night was doubled. At midnight four big officers stood at the Illinois street corner of the gloomy bastile, while grouped In the court and along the Dearborn and Mlchi gan street fronts were at least a dozen more guards. Several detectives were stationed in various parts of the building, and the pedestrian who stopped to loiter in the deep shadows cast by the grim walls was quickly overhauled and scanned.

Disagreeing; Entirely With Commiiiinotr Oberlj's Order The Privileges of Civil Service Eiimitrn, Washington, Ootober 2'J. Civil Service Commissioner E'lgerton, during an interview had with him by an Associated Presi reporter yesterday was asked if in his opinion government clerks and other employes bad a right, unabridged by the civil service laws, to associate themselves together as a society or association for the purr ose of advancing the interests of any political party, and whether such Bociety or association has a right to assess its membeia or to receive from them, directly or indirectly, contributions for political purposes. "Unquestionably they have that right," replied Mr. Edgerton, "when a person has succestfully passed a civil service examination, and has been duly certified and isrmanently eppointed to the classified service, there the authority of the commission ceass, and his action thereafter is controlled by tbe appointing power. From that moment his action is outside of the control, authority, intluence or pawer of the civil service commissioners. He is entirely outside of their jurisdiction." "tut," queried the reporter, "ii not the commission charged with the enforcement of the civil service law and dom not that law prohibit such contributions?'' Section 13 of the act of January 1G, lSv), says that "Xo officer, clerk or other person in the eervice of the United Scales shall directly or indirectly give or hand over to any other officer, clerk, or person in the eervica of the Uni?-sd States, or to 8ny SeDatcr or member of the House of Representatives or Territorial delegates any money or otber valuable thing on account of, or to be applied to the promotion cf any political object whatever." "Is not tbe civil service commission responsible for the enforcement of tbat law in its letter and spirit?" "Certainly it is," said Mr. Edgerton, "but that law has nothirg to do with individuals outside of their oilioes or official positions. Nothing is said about associations. The commission is not licensed as a detective association nor clothed with its functions or authority. Ex-Commissioners Eaton and Gregory, in a letter to the Presidtnt, dated October P, is", state that 'It hardly med be said tbat the commission has authority concerning the enforcement of the crimioal provisions of the Civil Sei vice Act.' The President in his ciicnlsr letter of July 14, 1Sm, to heads of the department, says tbat 'Individual Interest and activity in political aßairs are by no n tsrs condt-mned. OLtice holders are nfitr-cr disfranchised nor forbidden the exercise political privileges; but their prfvilfe are not enlarged, nor is their duty to porty increased to pernicious ectiity by office holding.' Can anything be pJa'aer in its meanißg than that?" .cai Mr. Edgerton: "üoes the President tryvbere in that letter intimate that a c;nl mu ft become apolitical mute? No f ir, in pernicious activity, it Is the brawlir ofentiveness that the President co ilen.nsasdo all right thinking men; but ar. honest ePbrt in the interest of the party ii whose principles he believes, is comr.. er d able. "What are your views in regard to Mr. Oberly'a recent order that members of any political committee or association or any ore ergeged in the work of promoting the interests of any political party shall not be eligible for appointment on boards ot civil service examiners," was asked. "I think such an order is not justified by the law or any order made by tbe President. It involves political inquiry by the commission, a right or privilege denied to It by the law," was the reply. "He might as well order tbat any man 1 elonging to any particular religious society shall be ineligible for appointment on such boards. No sir," he continued, "all of this is outside of the jurisdiction of the civil service commission. I thoroughly believe in an honest interpretation of the civil eervice law; I believe in enforcing that law in the manner Congress intended to hive it enforced, bat I do not believe in straining after something nobody knows what, for political or personal effect, ar d I believe that the Pres ident and three fourths of the Democratic party will sustain my position." MILLIGAN'S DEFENSE. Some New Statements About the One Cele brated Trial in Indian:! for Irrisui, Chicago Times. Hi'JfTisc.TON, lsn., Oc: 20. Special. L. P. Milligan says in his defense in reply to certain criticisms lately made in regard to his arrest and trial: "I have teen exceedingly aanojclfor many ysars by newspaper correspondents attempting to give reminiscences of ray arrest and trial, and some otit may b? du,? to my own carelessness. 1 should Say nothing about the matter was it not for the false position tbe correspondent of tbe Chicago Times places mein. Hat there is so much gossip manufactured by my enemies, mixed up with misunderstanding of that which I have uniformly said when I did talk about the subject, that it does me great injustice, and my political position is misunderstood throughout the State. Senator Voorhees said the Republicans had supported me for office, but the Chicago correspondent is still worse on me, for hecharges me with the grossest ignorance. "I deny that I have undergone any change in my views of doctrines of the Democratic party. I recognize the change in our Government, both by constitutional amendments and federal aggression and with the timidity of Demccratic leaders, have but little hope of a return to first principles. I deny tbat it is known by anybody that I voted for Gen. Garfield, for I voted an open ticket for Hancock. I deny that I was tbe prohibition candidate in 1882; I was an independent Democratic candidate at the solicitation of a meeting of the leading Democrats of tbe county, against a candidate who obtained his nomination from a packed Convention, and I withdrew from the contest on the recommendation of the same Democrats who solicited me to be a candida'e. "Now, I certainly never said that a majority of the commission was opposed to the finding, for 1 was Informed the night of the finding tbat there were three of the commission who were opposed to the finding, so far as I was concerned, and their names were given. So far as tbe charge of interference on the part of Morton is concerre4, 1 have always stated how I cime by tbe knowledge. "I acted upon this statement of Morton's, and could have been released eight months sooner if I would have accepted liberty under a cloud, as Morton should have said I would. I was ottered my liberty as early as August, I8i;", if I would withdraw my habeas corpus petition in tbe United States Supreme court. I have often refused to talk about this proceedirg, and I have net often spoken of the reason why Morton did not want us executed. There were many reasons why I should not talk about it. One reason: a very intelligent lady Hying in this city had

made a very forcible written appeal

to te- J Gov. Morton in mj behalf. While grate ful to her for the motive, I was loath to de prive her of the satisfaction it afforded ber to think she bad succeeded in her trnly able eCort. Another reason, I aid not deEire to involve anyone else in trouble, and especially in my troubles, and will not now give the name, not that think he would complain of the expose, but will merely state the circumstances. A gentleir no, now living, who was a schoolmate of Oliver P. Morton, visited him during the trial, and stated to tle Governor that the Indianapolis papers gave him the credit of working up our arrest, and tbat he, Morton, had not disclaimed it, and, looking Morton in the face, said to him, 'if Milligan'a life is taken I will hold your individual person responsible for it,' and that is the reason I never accorded to Morton any credit for the efforts he made. To talk about Oliver P. Morton having any doubU about the legally of the trial is a foul slander upon his ability as a lawyer. I was well and intimately acquainted with Morton, and know there wes not a clearerheaded lawyer in the State, not second to any member of the snpreme court that unanimously decided that such a tribunal had no existence in law. Buch men as Col. Williams, Col. Pennett, and several others of the commission are not supposed to be responsible for their mistakes of law or facts. "There are many facts about that trial that never found there way into history, and now that tbe excitement has passed away, would seem more like romance than history, however tamely they might be stated. It was currently rumored that Gen. Hovey had left the city, to be gone until after the execution was to take place, and had given his orderly directions to open no letters or dispatches directed to him. Morton believing this was done to Jrevent the intervention of the President rom haviDg any eCect, directed my wife to request the Secretary of War to notify Gov. Morton of the action of tbat department if any change was made In the sentence, In pursuance of which Stanton telegraj hed to Gov. Morton and Mr. Hendricks both. Another fact is always omitted in the history of the case: It was an open secret in tbe city of Indianapolis on the evening of the 1st of June, lsö, that any intervention of the President would be disregarded by General Hovey; and my son, who was then a boy, was up in the city that evening and heard it freely talked ot that Hovey's command would take us out in the morning and execute us. This was known to Governor Morton, Colonel Gardiner, and others. And to prevent this the Governor called out a force sufficient to cover onr march from the prison to the car., and about 2 o'clock in the morning of the 21 day of June, Governor Morton and Colonel Gardiner took us between two double hies of soldiers to the cars, and sent three carloads of soldiers with us. Our windows were closed until we got to the State line. One car-load of soldieis was dropped betöre we reached the State line, another between that and Columbus. THE FISHERIES QUESTION. A llornet' Nest AVaiting for Mr, Chamberlain IV lien lie IU-arbes Ottawa. Ottawa, October 22. Without waiting to arrive in Canada, tbe Eritish fisheries commissioner, Mr. Chamberlain, has in giving free expression to his views on tbe question of commercial union and the relationship between Canada and Great Britain on the fisheries question, succeeded in raising a hornets' nest that waits to swarm about his ears when he arrives on this side of toe ltlantic. The press of Canada geneially, irrespective of party politics, is already taking exception to his utterances at Birmingham, in which he is reported as having said, in referring to the fisheries question, that in the present case. Great Piitain is in a position which is almost that cf an impartial observer not directly or Imrutdiately concerned in the controversy raised. In this 11. Ifast speech he said commercial union with the United States meant free trade between America and the Dominion, and a protective tariff' against the mother country, which practically meant political separation from Great Britain, and this has raised the indignation of those who are endeavoring to extend existing commercial relations between Canada and the I'nited States. The Free Press, one of tbe leading liberal organs, charges him with ignorance of Canadian affairs, a qualification not likely to assist him in his duties in adjudicating in the interests ot Canada on the Fisheries' Commission, while his pronounced determination to oppose closer commercial intercourse brands him as an enemy ot reciprocity or any enlargement of trade relations between the United States and Canada. Prof. Goldwin Smith is of tbe opinion that Mr. Chamberlain must have been wrongly reported, as in a private letter to a friend recently be speaks of himself tt imperfectly informed as to the internal policy of the Dominion. He thinks it a remarkable fact that Mr. Chamberlain as an ambassador should undertake to make such a positive declaration on a question he prosesses to know nothing about, and tbat the system which intrnsts negotiations concerning Canada's interests to other than Canadian hands is an extremely dangerous one. It is raid In official circles here that the suggestion of Lord Duilerln that Chamberlain should consult Sir John McDonald before going to Washington, was prompted by his knowledge of Chamberlain's Jack of Information rerding Canadian a flairs and his seeming indifference to the interests of tee dimioion. Churchill Talk Some More. London, October 22. Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Newcastle to day, declared that Gladstone s proposal regarding Ireland as they now stand, meant the breaking ud of the Union and the ruin of tbe Empire. He denied tbat the government lightly adopted coercion. They had tried to rule Ireland by ordinary law until the plan of campaign rendered this impossible. The plan of campaign was exactly similar to the "no rent" manifesto which has been Gladstone's justification for coercion. ixrd Randolph ridiculed the idea that the Parnellltes has changed their methods and alms. Mr, Gladstone ought to be the last to denounce tbe Irish police. They got at loggerheads with people in carrying out repeated Gladstone coercion acts. If political changes henceforth were to be effected by public disturbance and defiance of the law, England's prosperity would quickly fall. A President in Jail. Naw York, October 20. C. G. Francklyn, who was re-elected President of the Horn Silver Mining Company, to-day, was arrested lata in tbe day on a warrant issued in a suit for 500,000 damages. He was taken to Ludlow Street Jail, and at a late hour was still there. The suit grows out of a charge that Mr. Erancklyn, as manager of the Horn Silver Mining Company, misappropriated over $."00,000 of the company's funds. Mr. Franklyn has said that the money was loaned to him. Yellow Fever's Spread, Tamta, Fla., October 20. There have been fonrteen new cases of fever to-day, including two colored, and three deaths.

ATLANTA'S GUEST.

The President a VUH To Atlanta A Wet One Oft For Montgomery. Atlanta. Ga., October 1'. It is officially statt d that the President's special train which Is expected to leave Montgomery at one o'clock to-morrow, will make no stops on its way to Washington, except possibly at Asheville, N. C, where it may tarry fifteen minutes. A statement to the contrary had been made with regard to many places along the way, but the people who may be brought together ly such announcement will be disappointed. The train will run slowly, as heretofore, wherever people are gathered to see the President, but the public demonstrations of the trip will positively end tomorrow, with the, (.possible exception made. The Presidential party tbreakfasted ?' n Senator Colquitt at 10 o'clock this morning. There were about thirty other guests, including most of the people of note in town. The President is expected to dine with Senator Brown and his son, Junius L. Lrown, at the residence of the latter. The principal event announced for to-day is the military parade and sham battle, but the mud and rain threaten to interfere with it The crowds are somewhat thinned ont this morning, bat the famine in town continues. It is just learned that the engineer in charge of the engine, which runs the dynamo of tbe President's train was arrested last night by some over efficient policeman, and spent the night in the lockup. He is as honest a man as ever pulled a throttle, and has commended himself to several members of tbe party by the pluck exhibited in rescuing them from the embrace of the crowds several times as the train was about to start. Last night was the first time he had ventured away from the train since It left Washington. Mfasuits have been taken to set him at liberty at once. The churches were open ed last night and were crowded with people who had no other place to sleep. The day has been rainy throughout. The President and Mrs. Cleveland entered their flower bedecked carriages at 11 o'clock, and with an escort of cavalry and artillery m8de their way through muddy streets to the Exposition grounds, three miles away. There were probably 40, W0 uncomfortable beings waiting there, who made brave, but not very successful eßbrts to cheer the city's gufsts. and who cbangeu wearily from point to point in the rain, searching lor solid ground to stand upon. A PEI'RESSIX FrECTACLE. It wsr a sadly depressing spectacle. The rain fall, though never severe, was persisted, and tbe lowerirg skis s gave no promise of change. Tte rracesion moved slowly around the race track and brought up in front of the grand stand, where it was intended that tbe distinguished party should alight, but the President after considering the mud through which it would be necessary to wtde to reach the reserved place, determined for Mre. Cleveland and birxEclf not to venture. His carriage wes then driven close to tte inner railirg and tttre he awaiud the passage of tbe troops in review before him. Umbrellas had beeu procured for Mrs. Cleveland and himself, but their companions, Messrs. Cjllier and Grady occupying the front Sfata turned tcelr collirs, tipped their hats to the northeast, wnence he wind came, aid brav id the storm lik? Spartans. They could be 6ecn to smile in a sickly way from time to time as they conversed with their guests, and they probably did their best to make the occasion interesting. There was a delay of one mortal hour before anything happened. The troops were all on hai'l, but for some reasons tcey could not be brought into position. Drums were heard beating in a despondent way in tbe distance,and every few minutes a mounted policeman came up and drove little knots of people from one spot to another. At last a discharge of bombs, a burst of music, and the troops, perhaps a thousand men, came marching and slipping past the Presitlent.who stood up in his carriage and held his umbrella over him to receive them. When tbe column had passed1 the carriage was with some difficulty extracted from the soil, turned round, and the proposed military reception having been abandoned, the party returned to town. In the afternoon the President was entertained by Hon. Julius Brown, the son of Senator Brown. There were present twenty-five invited guests. Ti:s menu, which had been worked in feathers in Mexico, was presented to Mr. Cleveland at the close of the dinner. At the Bame hour the most magnificent entertainment given Mrs. Cleveland on the trip was provided by Mrs. Henry W. Grady. Mrs. Grady is a charming hostess, and did tbe honors ot the occasion with tact and skill. For two hoars tbe ladies of the city called there and paid their respects to the President's wife. In the evening a general public reception was given at the Executive Mansion by Governor and Mrs. Gordon. Tbe people marched in, in Etreams, but there were so many of them that when thevent closed thousands still stood outside unable to eain admittance. The greatest event of the day, after the sham battle, wa the torchlight procession of the Young Men's Democratic Leagues of the 8 täte. A. drenching rain was falling, but that did not dampen the ardor of enthusiastic citizens who thronged tbe streets with flaming torches. A liberal display of tire worksTent brightness to the scene, and between tbe cheers of the people and the counter-marching of the torch-bearers, there was such a demonstration as is seldom seen. The President left at midnight for Montgomery. THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. Gift of Mr. Itatea Ddicat-d in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Chicago, October 22, The great statue of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled this afternoon in Lincoln Tark in the presence of a large crowd that had braved the chilly wma from the lake and assembled to witness the ceremony. Shortly before 3 o'clock the booming of cannon startled the multitude and as the sound died away over the water of Lake Michiean, "Abe Lincoln, the son of Robert Lincoln, stepped upon the base of the flag covered bronze figure of his grandfather and pulled a rope which held the covering. The folds slowly loosened and drop ed down at tbe base, and the tall, erect figure of Abraham Lincoln shone brightly in the sun, which struggled through tbe clouds at tbat moment. A tremendous shout went up from the 5,000 people ssäembled, and it was j ained a moment later by the roar from the cannon. Mr. Thomas F. Witbrow, one of the trustees of the Bates fund, out of which the cost of the statue was defrayed, formally presented the figure to the Lincoln Park board, and Mr. W. C. Gondy replied in behalf of the boaid. The oration was delivered by the Hon. Leonard Sweet, whose intimate political, social and domestic relations with tbe great President have made him one of the best informed men now living, on Lincoln's life. As a condensed biography of Lincoln, it has not been excelled, and it contains anecdotes and reminiscences which have never before been published. Mr. Swettspoke of hlra as a production of a republic, of and for the people. Hia most marked characteristics was his peculiarities. No one ever knew a man like him. Mr. Swett never knew him to get the best of a trade andjhe never loaned money on interest. He believed Mr. Lincoln desired the second nomination as a mark of approval of the people, but be did nothing to get it nor would he permit any of his friends. He looked with indiflerence upon the machinations of hia cabinet and over the Senate and House to the peo ple in whom he believed and who believed In him. Mr. Swett never knew him to ask advice either before or after his election. He was remarkably self-reliant his mental , equjpQ-je was sejex disturbed and timing

he war the great men at Washington learned to lean upon him and gain courage fit in bim. Mr. Swett, in conclusion, said: "And he has made tbe jonrney to the great unknown. Before him Washington, Franklin nnd Knox had gene. Before him all the great and good men who laid securely and well tbe broad-famed actione of this Republic bad fallen before the only foe their valor and courege could not make. They have gone, and all we know of that great nn final journey to the unknown is that all of our race goes there but no one returns. We ete bim In bis image of broLze above ns, and reca'l bis great presence. All we know i?, that in all time hereafter, wherever the slave shall groan under the lash, or the poor shall sigh for something better than they bad known, there his name will be honored and his example imitated." STATE'S PRISON SOUTH.

A Complete Revolution Worked oat Ity The Nw Management. Judge Lewis Jordan returned yesterday from a visit to bis old home in Harrison County. On Sunday morning he visited the Southern Prison and was present at the morning exercises in the chapel. A Sentinel reporter asked him what he thought of the new management of the the prison. He replied that it had worked a complete revolution and the prison was now one cf the best conducted institutions of the kind in the country. "Every nook and corner," said he, "has received attention and i perfectly clean. The cell Lenses have teen painted inside and out, all tbe holes nlastered up and are no longer a harbor for bugs and vermin. The prison inside and out presents a neat appearance and does not lock like the same place. The sheets and pillow-slips are changed every week, the clothing washed and kept in good repair, and the management can court investigation any day." Tte Judge was surprised to find at the chapel exercises an excellent orchestra and choir, all the members being prisoners and under the direction of a youog lady who presided at tbe organ. Nearly all the prisoners joined heartily in the gospel songs, and when the Judge closed his eyes during the singing he could imagine he was listening to the boys at the reform school. During the recitation of tb Sunday school lesson some of the prisoners showed that tney had critically Studied the scriptures end sjme hard questions were propounded the chaplain. The judge suggested that that waa hardly the place to start a theological seminary and perhaps tbey hsd better ignore all questions of a controversial character. Tue suggestion of the jude aroused tbe men very much. The lock step, with the hand of each prisoner on the shoulder of tbe one in fiont, has been discontinued end Ihe men now walk in donble file. The judge says he could tell from the appearance of the prisoners that they are thankful for the great change in treatment and that the efforts being made for their entertainment on Sunday were keenly apneciated. Warden Patten, Deputy Warden Barnes, Chaplain Barnhill, Steward Montgomery. Clerk Connor and the Board of officers of the Prison are to be congratulated. A Necessary Condition. New York Sun.
