On Wednesday Chief •Justice Waite deliv ered the decision of the federal supreme court /in the ease of the Chicago anarchist#. t The court refused to grant the writ of error grayed for by the anarchists’counsel, holding nlie jury laws of Illinois to be constitutional. ■The point made that one of Spies’s letters had jbeen illegally seized and used as evidence against him was overruled because it had not ibeen made in the court below, and for the finmo reason the court declined to entertain the suggestion that I'iehlen ami Spies were foreign subjects. Being of tin* opinion that the constitutional points pros*-nted by the counsel for the petitioners wc re not involved In the determination of the ease as it appeared on the face of the record, the chief justice said that tlie writ would have to bo denie d.

George En- Louis Linggami Adolph Fischer of the ‘group of death sentenced anarchists have |written open letters to Governor Oglesby re fusing any commutation of sentence short of •liberty, asserting their innocence of the Hay •market murder and declaring their unabated /faith in the principles of anarchy. Fischer, wno gave ail three of the b tters to in reporter, asked that they be printed without change. The underselling in the text follows the manuscript.

There was a sort of a seared expression on her poor, worn face, and she moved about in ner vous manner, as tbongh she could scarcely realize that the last slender thread of hope had broken. She brought a basket of tooth some edibles for her husband, and Jailer Folz took a chair from the office and carried it out to the cage and placed it for her near the bars. Lingg’s aunt and a young lady cousin, and one of his fair admirers camo next. They were all downcast, witli traces of tears on their checks, but they had not been talking to the reckless bomb-maker five minutes before they were all laughing, and their mirth sounded strangely incongruous with the feelings of most of thosejiresent. Frank Bieleffeldt.of the Arbiter Zeitting, accompanied by a reporter for the same paper, camo next. Shortly afterward Spies's two brothers, Chris and Ferdinand, wore admitted ami they were followed by their mother, who seemed to feel her sorrow deeply. Mrs. Parsons, and iter two little children, came, and with them, a lady who is interested in the work of the amnesty association. Every one of the prisoners had the semblance, at least, of positively cheerful spirits. Bielcffeldt, after leaving the jail said : “It is useless to ask these mon to sign a pe tition to the governor for their lives. I have just been talkinglto them and they laugh at the idea.” A significant incident of the day had its scene at pollen beadquartr-rs. The moment word of tiio decision was received, all the de tectives in the building disappeared with sur prising suddeness. As to what districts or places they were assigned, their superiors were non-commnnicativo vyhen asked. Itis known, however, that for some days the mon have had scaled instructions to act as soon as the decision was received. ‘‘Wo will not be caught napping,” was all the o slicers would say. Besides the regular force, the detective de partment has been largely reinforced from out lying stations. Just, what the precautions will lie, or have been taken to prevent any outbreak, the officials decline to say. It is known that preparations are going on for the execution. The ropes have been ordered from an eastern firm for some time, and will be thoroughly tcsti'd before beingsent on here. An additional scaffold will have to be built, and preparations were being made for this today. At present there are two of these dark instruments of death lying in the basement of the criminal court building, but. they will not accommodate over five vic tims. The new one will be very much like the one on which the three Italian murderers were hanged some time ago, but will, it is stat ed, contain some slight improvements as to the traps. Already the. morbidly curious of Cltic ago, as well as outside points, have been sending in requests for tickets to got in the jail on the 11th instant. Letters by the score are arriving daily from provin cial journalists, who desire to secure a ticket so they tan have a representative on hand. They will all be doomed to disappointment. If the hanging takes place on the 11th instant, there will be only a few persons present. The sheriff wiii adhere strictly to thelaw laid down in such cases, and no one except representa tives of the city papers, press associations, mem bers of the jury and the attorneys will bo al lowed to he present. KXTK A~PBEC A UTION. Chicago, November 3. —Two full companies of policemen arc now quartered in the county jail, near the anarchist cells. The officers were brought into jail last night by a back en trance. There are fifty-four men in all, and c.jtch is armed with a Winchester rifle. These mon will remain in the build ing until after the event of 11th instunt. The sheriff has already begun the building of the scaffold on Which it is intended to hang tho anarchists. Carpenters were busy this afternoon working on pieces which go to make tip the machine of death, and it will not be long before the gallows will bo ready- Tho event nt tho county jail this morning was a conference of nearly an hour between Captain Black, L. 8. Oliver and tho seven condemned anarchists. Mr. Black refused to make public the matter under discussion. He •aid that Im expected to leave for Springfield with a petition ot amnesty on Monday night. To tho inquiry whether he hoped for clemency, ho replied: “1 utn always hopeful man. I-will hope un til there is no'longer any ground for it : when there can only bo grief tor tho seven men mur dered by the law.” "There has been a good deal of talk about tho possibility of suicide by these men. What do you think of it ?” was asked. "They couldn’t bo hired to take their own lives. Not a man of them would do so; not one. 1 f they wished to do so nothing would bo easier. But, I tell you, if their cells were tilled with deadly weapons, and they had poisons more droti’inj' and subtle titan Lethe, they would scorn to use them. They are not coin men scoundrels who would try to cheat the dlows. There is no ignominy in tho scaffold for them. If they must die they would prefer t >be strangled by the organized robbery they sought to overthrow than to sink out of the world like cowards.” August Spies. Sam Fielden and Nicholas Schwab, signed a petition this afternoon, humbly begging' the governor to commute their acaitem-es. These three of the seven con demned mem are the only ones who have not written letters to the governor that they would not accept eomumtations of their sentences, ami tlial all elTi'i'ts in that direction were without their sanction. The signatures of Fielden and Schwab were secured this morning by Captain Black and L. W. Olii. r. who visited the prisoners at tho jail and bad a private conlereneo with them. All sorts of entreaties wore adopted to get Spies to sign tho petition but he resolutely refused to do so, as did also Liugg. Engel, Fischer and Bar sons, Atd.l’Op. m.Who same petition were brought to tho jail by l>. Schmidt, Alderman Frank stauher and H. L. Innemeyor, with permission from the sherill to confer with tho condemned men. George Scltillierg arrived later ami Joined the party. It was plain that Spies had weakened sincotho morning confer ence. He read the petition overseveral times. Aller an hour's pleading Spies said: "Well, give me the pen. ’ amlwitha flourish his name was appended below.

She obeyed, and continued to walk through the streetsuntil completely exhausted. She staggered up stairs and sank nearly faint ing into a chair in Devine’s office. In the few hours she was out she sold nearly 5,000 copies of Die book at five cents each. Chicago, November 4.—A Daily News special from Springfield, 111., says: A re porter of the supremo court delivered to the governor this morning tho first copies of ad vancesheets of the opinion of tho Illinois su preme court in the anarchist case. Governor Oglesby is busily engaged in examining the rec ords of tho case, decisions of the Illinois and United States supreme courts, newspaper edi torials and reports of public expressions of prominent men. The governor arrived at tho executive office shortly before noon today. Tho morning’s mail was full of anarchistic communications from all parts of the country, but their con tents, were not disclosed. lie said the letters of Engel, Lingg and Fischer have never reached him. The Parson’s letter has not been received, and it may bo said for the governor that he has only newspaper reports as authority for the statement that these men will refuse to accept commutation to life imprisonment, and domand liberty or death. “I expect togo to Springfield on Monday with a petition to the governor for clemency, signed by everyone of the seven condemned men,” is what Captain Black told a cluster of reporters, today. ‘‘Such a petition as 1 shall carry,” continued the captain ; “doesnot mean that the men renounce their principles, that they are down on tho marrow bones begging for mercy, or that they regard themselves as guilty of any crime. It will be complying with the law in the. matter and relying on Governor Oglesby tc perform a judicial act.” Three of the condemned anarchists have signed the petition to the governor asking ex ecutive clemency. Four of them still refuse to do so. Friends of these four pleaded with them all day to-day, but the names of Engel, Lingg, Fischer and Parsons were not secured when the final meeting for the day broke up at 6 o’clock. A FEELING OF UNEASNESS. Chicago, November 5. —Now that there seems to be a stampede ip the direction of a commutation of tho sentence of the convicted anarchists, it may be well to mention what ef fect it has already been in a very important section of tho community—tho police force. Already a feeling akin to dismay has arisen among the blue coats. A veteran officer voiced the general sentiment of the force this morning when he said: “It these men are allowed to triumph over the law through tho meddlesome intervention of tho people to save whoso lives and property we risked our own on that awful night of March 4th, you will find that the police force of Chicago will never fight another battle with tho Chicago anarchists. It is all very well to say it is a terrible thing to take sovon human lives, but I say it is not more terrible than tho way in which they took the lives of seven of our boys and maimed dozens of them that May evening. 1 suppose the lite of a police officer was nothing when weighed against that of an anarchist. J suppose it is our duty to bo butchered in defense of a community and receive no protection from that community. I say no protection—for the only protection we ean receive is tho fitting punish ment of these offenders, whom wo have brought to bay. It is all right for the judges to say that these mon will meach their doctrines/more eloquently dead than alive, but I tell you if they escape tho gallows the doctrines of an archy will be preached so eloquently that those who took part in obtaining tho commutation will live to rue tho day they did so. For our part the police of Chicago will be more cau tious in risking their lives and facing anarchist bombs than they were a year ago last May. A reporter requested several of the legal lights to give their reasons for signing tlie petition. W. C. Goudy said: ‘These men are guilty. Thoroisno doubt of that. They are guilty of murder, but it must bo remembered that this is not an ordi nary physical assassination. Tho ques tion is whether they should bo punished to the full extent of thelaw. This is Die first time that the question has come up since tho jury decided it. Judge Gary might have passed upon it in denying a new trial, but did not.” GOVERNOR OGLESBY RETICENT. Stringfield, 111., November 5.—A small army of newspaper corn sjioiidcnts besieged the executive office today, and whenever tho governor made his appearance he was greeted with such a multitude of querries that he, for the first time, adopted the inflexible policy of saying nothing. “1 have resolved,” said he, “to say nothing about the matter. If I talked to tho press at all I might say something unguardedly that I did not mean, or it might be misunderstood by you enterprising gentlemen. Hence, with fair ness to all, 1 must refuse to reply to any ques tion regarding anarchist matters.” THE ANAUCHISTS’S LETTER. An extraordinary communication signed by Spies, Schwab ami Fielded disavowing “ag gressive force” and deploring Die loss of life nt Haymarket was given out tonight for publi cation. It is addressed to Governor Oglesby and is to bo forwarded to him with tho formei petition for clemency. Tho guarded word ing of the donument is as notable as its matter, particularly as this is the first expression of tho kind any of tho con demned anarchists have made. Barsons, it is understood, acquit ced in its contents and will address nseparate letter of his own to the gov ernor, it, being the same idea. Lingg, Engel and Fischer sic idfa.stly refuse, however, to go on the record with any such declaration. Fol lowing is the letter in full: inn vqo, Novemi" r '., iss7.—To Governor Richard Ojlesby, Fpringtlelil, 111.—Sir: In order that tho truth may t,e known by you mid the public you rep resent, we desire to state that we never advocated the use of force except in case of self defense.

Chicago, Novemlmr C>.—Tho colls of the seven conclemned anarchists in tho county jail Were searched today, and four loaded bombs ! were found hidden away in a wooden box, which was concealed under a pile of newspa i pots in a corner. Some time ago Sheriff Matson decided to ; search and clean out tho Colls of tho seven distinguished prisoners, and today was set for tho examination. Word was sent by the sheriff to the friends of tho condemned that ! no admittance would bo given to tho Jail, and this morning tho entire force ot deputy sheriffs reported at the jail for duty. It was shortly aftero’clock, when Lingg and Engel were led from their cells to the con saltation cage, and the search began. Engel’s cell was first entered, and thoroughly exam ined. The bed and ladditig were looked fixer, the cracks in the walls, and the table I thoroughly explored, and the clothing hang | ing around the cell searched, but beyond a few I empty cigar boxes, some fruit, books and I papers, nothing was found. Then the deputy I sheriffs entered Lingg’s cell, while its former I occupant planted himself in the corner of his I temporary prison, and watched them with : eager eyes. Ho was pale as death and trem ' bled like an aspenleaf, as the searchers moved i around in the little stone-walled room. Sud denly two of the three men inside jumped out to the corridor, while the third man held at arm’s length, A SMALL WOODEN BOX which ho carefully carried to the jail office, and laid on Jailer Fotz desk. The box con tained four pieces of gas pipe, each about six or seven inches in length, filled with some heavy substance and plugged at both ends. Jailer Fotz picked up one which was closed at one end with a round iron stopper, and one of the officers pronounced it a vei liable dynamite bomb Just then Sheriff Matson arrived at the jail, and ordered that the dangerous weapons be replaced in the box and sent to a chemist for analysis, although there was no doubt as to the result of the ex amination. Then the search was continued, but beyond a quantity of rubbish nothing was found. Then the cells of Fischer, Barsons, Spies, Schwab and Fielden were searched in the order named, but no contracts and articles of any kind were found. It was decided, however, that it was best to change the prison er’s cells. All the prisoners, except Lingg, submitted to the change and search without displaying the slightest emotion. Lingg seem ed much worried when lie was told of what was contemplated, and showed so plainly that something was wrong that the jailers were not so greatly surprised as they might have been over the discovery subsequently made. WHAT THE SHERIFF THINKS. Sheriff Matson was seen on the subject dur ing tho afternoon. Ho was very reticent at first, but after consideration, made a clean breast of the whole affair. “Wo had no reason,” he said, “to make the search at this particular time. That is, we received no intimation that anything was wrong. It was merely a precautionary meas ure decided on some time ago by Jailer Fotz and myself, Wo selected Sunday as a quiet day when tho examination would make less dcsutrbance than ;if it were made on a week day. For some time there was so much of this amnesty business going on that I did not care to interfere witli good citizens who were interested in the condemned men, or place any obstacle in their way, but we felt as though the time had come to take extra precautions, and so decided to clean the cells out. Os course, in view of the developments of tho search, tiie most stringent precautionary measures will now betaken. Tho prisoners will not be allowed to exercise as much as formerly, and tho num ber of visitors will be restricted. No one will be allowed to visit any of the in the cage, and if any interviews are granted it will be only to near relatives, and in the pres ence of the jail officials. I won’t say that every visitor will be searched, but there will be no opportunity for any exchange of any thing whatever between the prisoners and outsiders. As for Lingg, I don’t know that he will he allowed to soo anyone, but I have not yet fully decided on that point. Henceforth no baskets of victuals or fruit will be allowed to be sent from any of the prisoners’ friends to them, and no letters or dispatches will bo received or sent until they are ex amined by the jail officials.” THE NEWS ABROAD. The prisoners took their change of quarters quite as a matter of course, and read, wrote and smoked as though nothing unusual was going on. The news of the finding of the bombs spread like wild-fire. A universal reac tion of the amnesty sentiment was immediate ly apparent. Hundreds of citizens who had signed the petition for clemency, regretted their action, and wished they had never ap pended their names to the paper. Twenty of the officers of the central detail were in the squad room when the reporter entered, and told them the news. Instantly there was a storm Os intjjgnation. The word “bombs” re called to them the scenes of Haymarket, and there was but one expression of comment on the subject. Ono lieutenant sarcastically re marked : “Well, they ought to pardon Lingg any way.” Tho general opinion around tho police sta tions was that whatever might bo the fate of the others, Lingg’s doom was sealed, and he would have to go to the gajlows. It is doubt ful if the condemned will longer be allowed to enjoy tho privilege of reading the daily papers. It was suggested to the sheriff that tho advertising col umns might easily be utilized as moans of communication in cipher between thorn and outsiders, and in all probability they will be deprived of their principal pleasures. * Tho bombs were placed in tho hands of Cap tain Schaack for examination, and that officer reported that they appeared to have been de signed for itso by some of tho condemned men as agents of self-destruction. The finding of tho explosives in Lingg’s cell was not tho only startler of tho day. There was another, tlio import of which could not be guessed.

Doctors disagree as to the relative valuo of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites: the one supplying strength and flesh, tho other giving nerve power, and acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire system. But in Scott’s Emul sion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two aro combined, and the effect Is wonderful. Thou sands who have derived no permanent benefit from other preparations have been cure Iby this. Scott s Emulsion is perfectly palatable and is easily digest ed by those who cauuot tolcrato nlain Cod Liver OU. t In another column of this issue will bo found an entirely next and novel specimen of attrac tive advertising.
